Borderlands: The Handsome Collection - Playstation 4

Great game. I've loved borderlands 1 and 2 and the this is every bit as good, if not better. Love the moon physics and slam damage. Really fun to mess around with. Also really enjoy the new vehicle and cryo damage. If borderlands 2 never got old for you, neither will this. It's the same game with enough new stuff to make it worth it. If you haven't played 2 then you are in for a REAL treat with the handsome collection. Update: Game is still awesome, even better than when I wrote the review. I just wanted to give some more info on it for those who are on the fence. 1. Laser weapons - just one more gun type to switch over to mid battle for extra ammo. Not my fav weapon, but nice to have 2. Glitch weapons!! LOVE them!! It's part of the claptrap DLC and they are amazing. They are pink in rarity. usually they are good weapons as is, but they have little bonus' that will kick in while using them. For instance an SMG will just randomly turn into a shotgun for a full clip, or it will just auto fire through a whole clip, but only spend 1 bullet for every 3-4 fired, glitch weapons are AMAZING.. They're better than a lot of the legendary weapons I've had. 3. Weapon grinder - build your own weapons.. It's fun! Make sure that you mess with it.. I didn't for the first several hrs and really regret it. 4. Slam Damage - I mentioned it earlier, but it really is awesome.. Especially cryo slam damage. Jump in the air, slam down and freeze your enemies.. Then unload on them. 5. Lawbringer - Seriously.. If you read this review before playing the game, go with the lawbringer.. I started with the gladiator and got her up to 50... SOOO wish I haven't.. I've died A LOT less with my law bringer (now a level 30). 6. Vending machines - The presequel has way more offers through the vending machines than bl2 had. I've bought 6-7 legendary weapons/grenades/class mods through the vending machines. It gives you an incentive to try and get money.. More than BL2 did in my opinion. Also Vending machines level up with you as you go along. If you head back to an old area you won't have lower level items in the machines. That's really all I have to add. This is one of my favorite series and it's made better by the Pre sequel.. Get it!! Thanks for looking everyone.

Borderlands 2 Review Edition: Handsome Collection. Reviewed on: PS4 Borderlands 2 is a first-person shooter RPG (role-playing game) that takes place in the sci-fi world of Pandora where you’re hired to find a mysterious “Vault” left behind by an advanced alien species known as Eridians. This Vault is said to contain immense treasures and your adventures along the way will have you meeting a large variety of funny characters, difficult enemies, crazy creatures, and amazing boss fights. This game has a very detailed and deep leveling system that allows for your characters to harness super fun and helpful abilities to help you blast away at any enemies that happens to get in your way. This leveling system is different and unique for all of the six playable characters.The environments and areas to explore in this game are very different and unique ranging from rolling sand dunes of the desert, to snowy glaciers, to futuristic cities. This game also has a loot system that features randomly generated weapons and gear which means that all loot will be different from the last, this loot generating can generate tons of different items, so many in fact that the developers aren't sure how much. The previous Borderlands game had around 1,750,000 different weapon combinations and the developers say that Borderlands 2 has way more! This game runs very smoothly and I never experienced any lag or framerate drops while playing. The game also features online co-op with up to four players and up to four player split screen which made for some of the best couch co-op gaming I’ve ever had. Borderlands 2 has a very goofy sense of humor throughout the game which always keeps things entertaining. This game will keep its players playing because of its well developed plot, goofy sense of humor, excellent combat mechanics, and its extremely addictive loot system. Even though all of these things make the game very fun to play, no game is without its problems. This game will constantly have you go through areas that are fun, but then have you make the boring trek back through them, this means that a lot of time will be spent on just traveling back from places. Also, a lot of side missions will have you do the same kind of tasks which can be a little repetitive, but if you are paying attention to the dialogue, the story behind these missions really helps in making them seem less tedious. This game also makes it so that in order to level your character to the highest levels you need to replay the game in a different, tougher mode where you get to keep everything you had previously earned. This mode is entertaining due to it introducing many new enemies and loot, but can definitely be repetitive replaying all of the missions again. The final mode is extremely difficult which causes players to think things through much more and utilize the necessary abilities to succeed. Overall, Borderlands 2 is a fantastic game that offers hundreds of hours of fun to anyone who enjoys first person shooters and RPGs. It has a great plot, memorable characters, an addictive loot system, and fun missions and boss fights. I’d give it a 9.5/10.

I love the Borderland series(i've only played 1 and 2...not sure i'll update this whenever i get to pre-seq). I do like the re-skin and i've never purchased dlc for #2 so it's cool to have all that and to explore the world fully. I cannot deny that this is a really great value at the price. I've been looping endlessly in Destiny and this package has been a good break away from strikes and raids. I love the humour and the explosions and all the crazy weapons. Have not tried a 4 man coop but online mode is quite fun. It's always good to be getting XP even if you're out looking around as your teammate kills just about anything that moves. If you loved #2 on ps3 or like me you upgraded and never had a chance to try pre-seq, go for it. Also note that if you want to cross-save you will need the system from which you want to carry the save over(i don't have my old ps3 anymore)--so i'll be losing my lvl 50 Zer0 and starting all the way from the bottom. Which is good. Cool game and lots of fun times with friends and family.

Ótimo jogo, ótimo vendedor.

Just as advertised

Borderlands è uno sparattutto in prima persona con la grafica un pò cartoon. Una delle caratteristiche uniche di questo gioco è la possibilità di trovare e ricevere infinite armi diverse, dalle caratteristiche uniche e impensabili. Il personaggio è personalizzabile ed ad ogni nuovo livello raggiunto, potenziabile in tanti modi diversi. Il gioco è immenso, ricco di mappe e livelli. L'azione, il combattimento, a volte risulta essere un pò crudo.. non mancano gli schizzi di sangue e le esplosioni di varie parti del corpo (provare il fucile a pompa da vicino per credere..). Il doppiaggio in italiano è fantastico e non mancano le note ricche di humor, la storia è bella e non si fà fatica a seguirla con interesse. La longevità è spaventosa: questo titolo include tutti i Dlc e missioni aggiuntive, oltre che ad un nuovo e unico capitolo (anch'esso l'unghissimo, come un gioco a se) non presente sul titolo uscito per Ps3. Credetemi: se vi appassionerete al gioco, ci vorrano mesi per finirlo al 100%. Ma non vi annoierete mai! Se vi piacciono gli sparatutto con elementi GDR, questo non potete perdervelo!

Sim. Jogo muito bom. Atendeu as minhas expectativas.

After playing and absolutely loving Borderlands 1 and 2, I was gutted when I upgraded my PS3 to a PS4 and Borderlands the pre sequel was released, but only on the PS3. Now all that has changed with the release of The handsome collection. Not only do I get Borderlands 2 and all of the add on content and extra maps (some of which I didn't ever get round to buying on my PS3) but I also get Borderlands the Pre Sequel, the level cap and add ons already released and a free upgrade to the upcoming season pass as well. Considering that I spent a good few months playing Borderlands 2 on the PS3, I am guessing that with all the add on content and the Pre sequel and add ons in this pack, new players will easily get a package containing a good 6 months worth of gaming, if you play for 4 or 5 hours a day. Borderlands is a huge open world RPG game with buckets of humour, literally millions (I'm not exaggerating) of weapons and upgrades and thousands of side and mini quests to do. Borderlands 2 is massive and I am really enjoying re-playing it on the PS4 and will get to the pre Sequel when I've finished BL2 (although I have had a nosey on it and it does look really good). The remastering and update from the PS3 to the PS4 versions are not that mind blowing, the games don't look hugely different from the PS3 versions although there are small noticeable differences in graphics and sound quality. But saying this, there wasn't too much in Borderlands 2 that needed improving anyway, it's an awesome game. It's like what you'd get if you crossed Mad max, Skyrim and a pinch of Disney Pixar and mixed them all together. The open world landscapes are very max max like while the characters and villains are more cartoonish and the level up and upgrade systems are reminiscent of Skyrim. There's monsters, pirates, and villains galore as well as a good supply of friends and accomplices to meet throughout the games. You'll spend hours upon hours farming boss battles and collecting scrap and loot, to upgrade and improve your means and buy new and completely bonkers weapons. I'm not personally one for online and multiplayer gaming but this release does come with a 4 player coop mode and lots of online features for those who are interested. And if you have already started playing these 2 games on the PS3, you can transfer your level caps and game saves over to the PS4 version via cross save (sadly my PS3 is long gone so I had to start over again, not that this is a bad thing) Considering some of the games that are out for the PS4 and the prices that they cost for 12 to 15 hours worth of gameplay, Borderlands the Handsome collection is easily the best value game on the system at the moment. It's fun, vast, humorous, packed with action, has all the extras and DLC included and at less than £40, it's a real bargain. massive respect to 2K games for showing thier loyal fanbase such huge respect with this release, it's refreshing to see. 9.5/10 Awesome package which will keep even the most demanding gamer happy for months, a must buy.
