Considering the raging success of Borderlands 2, I feel like TPS was more than serviceable. It was received quite badly, even though the gameplay was the same as 2 and the story was at least 65% as good as 2. Maybe the playable characters were not as great. But the world was very well crafted and I actually loved the way the Eridian arc was so much more present, even though there is no Siren character.
I’m currently doing 4. It feels like a soft hommage to the first game, but it also has some references to TPS. But it also feels like it was made for people who don’t even know there are previous games. Of course, the ones who played the original are maybe outside the target demographic, which was already the case with 3 going by the villains of that game.
In short: I still love all Borderlands games equally and The PreSequel is definitely up there!









I can see how the oxygen thing gets frustrating in some early points in the game, but at some point it really doesn’t matter much anymore. You’d either never die from it anyway or ride a Stingray everywhere.
In 4 they did the same flying mechanics but without the oxygen which is kind of cool.
