Game of the Year Edition: Back at it! What a improvement this was over the first game. Not only does the story seem more engaging, thanks to its villains Handsome Jack, but the gameplay/visuals are popping with color, flair, and bloodshed. I also really enjoyed the substantial amount of hilarious dialogue this game had; "That sentence had too many syllables. APOLOGIZE." (Scooter isn't the only funny character this time around). There was also some brutal kills to 3 main characters, which was quite surprising! I might reveal a spoiler so you might wanna stop reading, but I was honestly not expecting to kill Jack at the end of this game. I expected him to carry over in the other games, but nope, I definitely sniped his brains out of his ear holes. It was also a bittersweet goodbye to Angel, but what was the most surprising was seeing Roland die since he was a main character, not only in this game, but in the last one. I'm glad Tiny Tina kept his legacy alive in the Bunker and Badasses dlc. Speaking of the dlc/seasonal missions, I loved pretty much all of it. I was surprised how much better it was compared the Borderlands 1 dlc. Each dlc had lore, and it felt like I was actually doing main missions throughout instead of just doing side missions. Everything in this game feels worth it (minus some of these raid bosses). Not a fan of these repeatable missions, and I'm also not a fan of the enemies not leveling to your character so your forced to do game+ so you can get better loot, which I find a big waste of time. I'm not gonna complete the main campaign twice just so the enemies in the dlcs will feel matched to my level. Hoping they fix this in the other games.
