Borderlands 2 is still a game that will take you back to the days of first-person shooters, but with some new features. In Borderlands 1, enemies were mainly just robots and animals. In Borderlands 2 there are humans as well as humanoid creatures from other planets or dimensions. One thing that stood out for me was how many more guns they have in this sequel than the original. I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for more weapons.
The first Borderlands had a lot of style and personality which made it fun to play through again and again on different difficulty levels. The sequel has all those things too but also includes some newer features like being able to customize your character’s skill tree at any time during gameplay instead of having to wait until you complete the game at least once.
Borderlands 1 and 2 are both video games in the first-person shooter genre. They are both set on the planet Pandora, and players use guns and explosives to fight bandits and mutants. However, there are several key differences between the two games that set them apart. In this article, we will discuss some of the most notable differences between Borderlands 1 and 2.
Borderlands 1 and 2 are both first-person shooters with role-playing game elements. However, they are very different games. Borderlands 1 is more of a traditional FPS, while Borderlands 2 has more RPG elements. This makes Borderlands 2 a much more strategic game. The characters in Borderlands 2 also have more personality than in the first game. I highly recommend playing Borderlands 2 if you enjoyed the first one.
