- I somehow made this video almost as long as the trilogy video 💀
Anyway, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes place after Borderlands 1 but before 2, and I honestly enjoyed the experience, despite the negativity surrounding this game. It isn't as good as 2, story wise, but gameplay wise it's pretty close (which is a given since they're built the same), but it's more on par with 3, which isn't bad; but I think all 4 games have their own charms to them. Story wise it is better than 1 and 3, though. I also did the 2 DLCs: The Holodome Onslaught and The Claptastic Voyage. The base game is rated at a 4/10, Holodome at 3/10, and Claptastic at 6/10. Hope you enjoy!

There is also a high pitched whine persistent throughout while you use your mic
?
@@Benzinilinguine Ehm no, there's not. Watched the whole thing throu. Most be your hardware, small tipp. On your physical volume changers, turn them as quiet as you can and put your software volume to the max, IDK why it is like that, but it is. So you can have the best sound quality.
And? It was a good and entertaining video, don't apologize for that.
I think he's tryna make fun of me or something, cuz his comment makes no sense whatsoever
My single favorite line in the entire series comes from the Pre-Sequel. It's towards the end of the game, when Jack tells you to kill a Lost Legion deserter attempting to surrender after the death of Colonel Zarpedon. It's one of the few choices you're given in any of the games: either kill the unarmed soldier or let him live. Each character has two different lines, determined by your choice. The line I'm speaking of comes from Timothy the Doppelgänger. If you spare the soldier, he'll say the line: "I'm not you, Jack". It's such a simple, yet brilliantly written and executed line. This series used to have such good storytelling.
As a fellow Timothy main with a heart, I must agree
TPS's vault hunters were the best in the series honestly
This game has the best skill trees in the series imo, Claptrap was dumb fun when I played the game with my brother
Playing claptrap with my brother was the most fun I’ve ever had in a borderlands game, and we’ve played them all. Such ridiculous fun
Jimmy’s skill tree is literally just busted lol
I would argue 3 is a TINY bit better but at the time this game was the crem-de-la-crem.
@@DumbArse 3 loses all points for locking the 4th one behind a paywall
@@DumbArse BL3 gets zero points for being BL3
Borderlands the pre sequel made me understand that Jack may have already been on a dark path, but Lilith and the others were contributing factors to it too
Wich also is ecatly what Moxxi said. lol
Someone played the uvhm special narration
I'm glad to see that people are giving the Pre Sequel a chance and actually liking it. It was sad to see how much love, thought and effort 2K Australia put into the game with many small details that was either disregarded, ignored or bashed by the fanbase and we lost a lot of potentially great support for the game if the Claptastic Voyage was anything to go by.
Yeah I’ve been playing through it recently and it’s not bad I personally don’t like low gravity in games and it feels like health stims are rarer than moon stone but it’s not bad.
Fun fact Fragtrap is weaker to corrosive and more resistant to fire.
That's actually not true. He's weak to corrosive AND fire. You'd think that he'd be resistant to fire before he's a robot, but that's not how the game is programmed.
@@boyishdude1234That's kinda odd. Maybe they didn't want you stacking it with a fire-resistant shield and nulling fire damage?
@@caffeinatedhypnos8048 They could have also reduced the effectiveness of Fire resistance gear on him with special modifiers.
It is odd, but I'm just telling you what has been mentioned by speedrunners in the past.
That’s not true at all, he takes bonus fire damage, just like the rest of the playable characters across the entire franchise. It’s even a tip in a losing screen lol
Nope, its definitely more resistant to fire. @@boyishdude1234
This game had a lot of issues on release that ruined many people's first impressions. You couldn't farm many bosses or enemies for the best gear (the entire purpose of the series) and had to rely on grinder roulettes for many drops. They fixed most of it now and the game speaks for itself. Claptastic imo was one of the best DLCs of the entire series!
Was there would backup my save on my ps3 in case it saved while dashboard quiting to farm the bosses that never came back.. Like for the shooting star roid shield I ran that for 4 days before I got a good one it was a pita..
@@Jihadbearzwithgunz Yeah and you still can't farm Zarpedon for some reason. Shooting star on Athena was busted for a while
I have played all 4 of the games a bunch of times but I never liked the repetitive boss grinding for specific items. Its not really required until you get to UVHM and max level and want to play overpower levels. I just played through the campaigns a bunch of times with one character. So it didnt bother me that bosses didnt respawn and I didnt farm the grinder either. You get enough good drops just playing the game normally to kill enemies quickly. The story was pretty good and I liked the added mechanics of the ground slam and reduced gravity and the jump pads. I think hardcore fans of the series mainly dislike this one for lack of endgame content.
And I have another unpopular opinion, I liked the athmosphere and the guns better in the first game. 2 has a good story but it feels more arcady and not as open world as the first one. And the humor was a bit too meta. I also like the first games DLCs better. The claptrap DLC where you have to kill millions of claptraps to exterminate them was really funny. Dr Neds island was also really funny. But the main issue with 2 is that every gun has a fixed quirk based on the manufacturer. I never used hyperion guns because of the inaccuracy thing, and vladof and tediore guns burn through your ammo too quickly, and the Torgue guns always shoot projectiles instead of hitscan, and Bandit guns were almost always bad, so I basically never used any guns from those manufacturers which is half of them in the game, and Anshin and Pangolin only made shields.
So I ended up only using Maliwan for the elemental effects, Dahl for the fire rate and Jakobs for damage. Pretty low variety compared to the first game where any gun you found from any manufacturer could be good.
True claptastiv voyage has some of the best legendary in any dlc ever, I’d say it’s probably best or second best behind tiny Tina’s dlc, which in turn produced a whole game based off the tiny Tina dungeon and baddasses
i honestly think that this game is the 2nd best borderlands game, the locations themself are mostly not as fun to play in as 2 but the characters and their abilities and skill trees are some of the most fun i have played with and the guns are so fun to play with in low gravity
Pre sequel is unironically my favorite borderlands game
The sepiks prime boss music during the sentinel fight was perfect lmfaoo
I actually had a ton of fun with pre sequal. It grew on me I love the skills. And Aurelia is my favorite haha
Honestly if 2K Australia didn't shut down and we actually got all four DLC campaigns this would be a better game than borderlands 2. It already has in my opinion the best DLC out of the entire series which is obviously what you played I think this story is more emotional than Tina's DLC was but I guess that's a discussion for another guy
6:09
Shard: "Dang that thing is so inaccurate"
Me as a Mechromancer main: First time?
I wonder why people can defend the Merriff. Like he shot Jack first, and he even kept pulling the trigger
amazing to see other people still 100%ing the BO games. Last year I went for BO2 and 3 100% and wanted to start with the pre-sequel but was burned out after back to back 100%ing. After watching your video I feel motivated!
since when its BorderLands BO and not BL
Just completed it the other day
The writing for Pre-Sequel is at least 2nd or tied with bl2 for first. The only issue is the maps, they're a bit too wide. I don't want to be like i'm playing in the dust every map. Oz kits are a great alternative to relics. The characters were great choices we got Timothy out of it and Aurelia was alright ig. A game where you can play AS claptrap was a niche pick for all of us claptrap lovers :).
The writing in pre-sequel was better than in bl2. I love bl2, but Jack is singlehandedly carrying story there.
@@trycilz2307Stop complaininng smh, the maps weren't like The Dust at all.
@@Ghui2626 wtf are you talking about?
@@Ghui2626bro wasn't even complaining
Borderlands the Pre sequel Suffers from one of the worst starting half in any of the series
And then immediately recovers with an incredible second half
If they better nailed that first half would have been remembered more fondly
Watching this guy fully shoot any Tediore mag is hurting the soul of my 12 years of knowledge on Borderlands
You one of those people that get triggered easily huh? Don’t worry! It’ll be okay! I promise!!!
For me the strongest point about the prequel was the weapon damage scale.
Borderlands 2 Introduced some pretty stupidly high damage values thus degrading even the strongest weapons in game pretty quickly. Got a purple SMG? Yeah in a couple of levels the vendor SMGs outperform that weapon.
And when you reached max level you went to get a shopping list of brutally broken weapons.
Presequel fixed those issues by giving you the opportunity to use that lucky legendary you got for a third of that playthrough.
And then came Borderlands3 where you have a full gold setup with lvl 15 😶
Fun fact the gun fro. The sub level 13 mission is one of the best laser weapons in the game and can pretty much carrie you to the end only it has poor range
I can solidly say this cool video is fun for the whole family! It shattered my expectations and was an ice experience.
I kinda want to see Athena being close to Claptrap more in future Borderlands game, cause I feel she understands how Claptrap feels more than anyone when Claptrap mentioned his actually very sad at the beginning of Borderlands 2. :(
after playing through the god awful story/writing of bl3, wonderlands and tales 2, I have much more respect for this game. It's also the only game in the series where you'll get unique responses based on who you are.
Wonderlands' story is ALMOST good. I find, at first, the Dragonlord's awareness of the world around him to be interesting. The game has some well written quests as well. It falls apart because, unlike the Claptastic Voyage or Assault on Dragon Keep, it doesn't use its story to more deeply analyze its focal character(s). The game doesn't use its story to more deeply help us understand the characters of Tina, Valentine, or Frette.
Borderlands 3's story and Tales 2's are both absolutely irredeemable tho. Even if BL3's Hammerlock DLC has one of the best missions in the series, writing-wise.
Awesome video dude! Love the destiny music edits on the boss fights!
That was an awesome video man! Really enjoyed that sepiks music during the sentinel fight btw 🙏
This is probably one of the best videos you made. Love the quality :)
Its sad non Australians will never get the full experience out of this
Yeah i didn't get any of the Australian references 😅
First borderlands game I actually dove into and played and grinded. Favorite one to this day!
I personally enjoy the pre-sequal. ESPECIALLY the claptastic voyage.
The ONLY thing annoying about that DLC was how I constantly thought I can go places thinking I'm on the right path only to either fall throu the map or going along where I shouldn't be at all ... and oc eastereggs and achievements reinforced that "explore" feeling.
This is a really well put together video my man, w edits keep it up bro!
Pro tip: When playing as Claptrap, when you get Funzerker, switch weapons or use Melees to save ammo.
You'll also notice how your ammo regenerates.
As a big Borderlands fan, TPS is highly underrated and one of my favorites. Great story, all the characters are very well designed gameplay wise, not that crazy with difficult end game shenanigans, and it has one of the, if not, best DLC expansions with Claptastic Voyage. I wish it got more love development wise.
The thing I don’t really like about these games is the fat they add on with mission design. There’s a lot of times where they will have you go somewhere, and then “oh well something happened, go somewhere else so we can get around this spontaneous obstacle.” The worst example of this for me was when you’re trying to get to Felicity but the bridge blows up and you need to go to the other side of the map and back for it. It just feels so unnecessary sometimes
I do agree with you on that, some of these missions were really long for no reason
@@Shardyx Reminds me of a few missions on bl2 like the one at the eridium blight where you have to go through a large map just moving around to accomplish a simple task of lowering a bridge
loved that you used destiny boss osts for some of the fights haha great video!
That devils lair song goin nuts at the end🔥
I’ve honestly enjoyed watching this I remembered I never got past the o2 bubbles around out side on the plant on the first world and I now feel like getting platnuim
Claptrap is overpowered..
The sentinal is a FIGHT -specially in uvhm-, which is a word you can't use to describe the destroyer or the warrior..
Hey handsome is my favorite borderlands cut scene EVER..
The claptastic voyage is -hands down-the best borderlands dlc
i remember when the holodome dlc first came out that the enemie markers wouldn't appear on the mini map (so it was basically hide and seek)...
I still enjoyed my time with this game though :D
So that dlc was even worse than it is now....
@@Shardyx sadly it was
WOW!! I thought I was literally the only one who played them in that order..... I absolutely hated TPS and wrote it off for the longest time. I just started playing 2months ago and I was very very wrong! the skill trees are AMAZING!
Athena’s shield is such a fun ability
Watching this video of the pre sequel Platinum is much more entertaining, informative and worth the 40+ minites, than some other 20 minute platinum pre sequel video, they were so dull and uninteresting.
U my favorite tuber so far keep up the amazing progress
Thank you BadEditingWorseQuality HorribleGraphics
@@Shardyx
I’m convinced the only people who don’t enjoy playing Borderlands: The Pre Sequel, are people who don’t want to enjoy it. Most of those people all agree BL2 is the best game in the franchise and/or best looter shooter ever and fail to realize the gunplay is most similar to BL2 and takes place on Pandora’s moon Elpis, but they want to complain about moon gravity smh. The laser weapons are great and unique. The story is fantastic and the use of flashback really ties it in with BL2 and lives yp to the Pre Sequel name. The other lazy argument you hear is the claim there is not a lot of endgame content, but I would argue it has just as much endgame content as BL1 and people respect BL1 for what it is. It’s truly baffling to me. If BL2 is the best how on Earth could TPS be the worst? BL2 expanded on what BL1 did perfectly but BL TPS did something unique with the world design and mechanics. And it’s Handsome Jack’s villain origin story, what’s not to love?
Regardless of where you think it stacks up amongst BL1 and BL2, BL TPS is undoubtedly a better Borderlands game than BL3.
Fun fact claptrap has a build in this game that made him extremely powerful with explosives 😂
THE ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS MUSIC OUTRO GOES CRAZY
I didn't enjoy the pre-sequel as much as I loved 1 and 2 (haven't played 3), but it's still a really good game in its own right!
Borderlands 3 is fun, the movement mechanics of that game does add some spice to it. The farming on that game is weird/ more convenient compared to the previous titles and legendries drop more common if you play in the higher tiers.
Borderlands three is honestly super easy
@@Thefakewomanwithamustache for real tho
Three is fun, but the story could have been a lot better.
I hated BL3. BL1 was mid. Loved BL2 and TPS
7:52 yhis gotta be the funniest shii i've see in a video game lmaoo
6:09 What did you expect? Its a Tediore "Gun". Tediore just builds Trash with a Trigger XD
True
Loved this game lol the characters are skill trees are so so good
I thought I was trippin when I heard the sepiks theme in the sentinel boss fight lmao
It would be pretty interesting if in the next game claptrap gets or decides to let shadow take over.
Can’t shadow sacrificed himself so claptrap could live.
"the invincible sentinel was too easy!" level 50 vs level 28
Because I expected it to be level 50 since it was considered to be a raid boss
@@Shardyx u did it in normal mod u had to kill it in tvhm
That's kinda odd to me, cuz terramorphous was level 50 in normal mode, but it's alright
Btw Jack having the destroyer Eye is totaly unlogical because the guardian after we defeated him in BL1 vanished back into the vault. Kinda sad that the Sentinel was like the last battle and then the game ending in a sorta loophole where the only thing left is fighting against it or in the arena.
Watching you play, hearing you only died once made me realize how bad I was at the game ... dying countles times as doubleganger jack wich is considered one of the most OP characters one can choose/buy
Don't worry bro, I was much worse at the other 3 games 😂
I wouldn’t feel too bad. Doppleganger takes a bit to get set up. He certainly isn’t op from jump street.
But once you get to skill where killing a digi-Jack counts as a kill, and combine it with the skill that replenishes your shield when you get a kill, you’re pretty OP at that point.
forgot to platinum this game sometime ago lol gonna try again now after this vid
Claptrap is the most fun character in the borderlands series
Did not expect to hear septik prime’s theme in a BL video
The bad part about pre-sequel is the lack of content (thanks for gearbox to close Gearbox australia. We got 3 whole DLC cut because of that.) and the gameplay of nisha.
Sorry, but aim bot ain't fun at all.
And, imo, Pre-Sequel have the best map/platforming/final boss of the frenchise. Plus nothing can come close to a melee Athenas fun-wise. I truely love this playstyle.
Dashing around with space gravity, and freezing mobs by headshooting with the Excalibastard before slashing them in pieces. Man, so good !
I like borderlands.- a Borderlands enthusiast
I'd argue lategame TPS is actually the most balanced out of all the borderlands games. there is no mayhem mode/chaos levels/OP levels, you max out at level 70 which gives the potential for cap-stoning every skill tree, which doesn't make it feel like a build but truly unlocking the characters full potential.
I hold TPS higher than 3, maybe lower than wonderlands, wonderlands story had far less to it than assault on dragon keep.
BL2 and TFTBL gave such high expectations for the series which is such a same
TPS is good but doesn't capture the magic
Bl3 seems like such a dissapointment with a lot of decisions made
Wonderlands was a missed oprutinity.
and New tales is such a dumpster fire, that I honestly expect that gearbox might retcon it.
bl1 is much more balanced, some characters are arguably better for damage than others but every character can mob well and kill craw easily aswell. the damage numbers and item parts are much simpler, with the average endgame sniper doing damage around 10-15k crit with a build centered around them. The power creeping is also signifigantly more balanced, with some guns remaining useful for 20+ levels. Roland is arguably the weakest in bl1 but even then hes by no means underpowered and can hold his own very well. It also similarly has a smaller level cap and potential for all 3 capstones
Morti and brick were the only characters from 2 I found actually fun to play as, while with TPS the only thing I couldn't stand was Athenas Melee build. I haven't played BL1 nearly as much admittedly, but hey I'm glad you enjoy it. @@sarahh08
i feel claptrap is good cause you dont need an oz kit, you are less damaged to fire since its a robot and his skill action is fixed to the situation like rubber ducks is low health and and whatnot, so in my opinion i believe claptrap is good for people who havent played tps before
This game gets hate for the same reason FF8 got hate back in the day, it wasn't his predecesor all over again.
I did all but one of the achievements a few months ago because I can't get the shatter multiple enemies achievement even after 5+ hours of trying but i remember when i had to do the Ghostbusters achievement i only had 3 Xbox controllers so i connected to the Xbox app on my phone and streamed the game to my phone and used the ps5 controller Bluetoothed to my phone as the 4th Controller probably the most jank setup I've ever had to play a game
Started playing this today already enjoying it , 😍 it just sucks for me cause I don't think I'll ever get multiplayer trophies 😭😭
I was thinking of trying again now I just upgrade to post and play as claptrap this time
Piraud's Thrutch is my favorite location in the pre sequel
There’s this one nova blast build that I love for fragtrap. Still use it today.
Very nice. I like your content
I appreciate the support!
If lilith and them didn't betray jack they could've talked him out of doing everything he wanted to do, them betraying him made him want to do it even more
The Destiny soundtrack and the covers in this video threw me off at first, but they honestly fit pretty well.
I was lowkey dying at how you used tediore weapons but it’s okay because the game really doesn’t explain how they work you have to use them for a bit. When you chuck your weapon after reloading, it turns into a grenade. The damage is based on how many bullets you have in the mag, the more bullets, the more damage. The trade off is when you reload it tosses your whole mag instead of just adding bullets to refill
Glad you explained it rather than just getting mad at me for not knowing 😅
I'm working on this plat and I think I got a glitch for all locations as I got the other 3 trophies but not the all locations one
I agree with you here; Borderlands 2
Borderlands 1
borderlands Pre
Borderlands 3
The order I looked em too
3 was such a let down for me
Best Skill trees to me besides Maya frm BL2 it was very different to fight in space and very fun at the time loved the Claptrap
Dlc too
Honestly I think Pre-Sequel is my favorite, I’m currently playing through Tina’s and I really like the class diversity but I’m not too far in so I can’t make any big decisions yet
Oh, that's why the boss music around 20 minutes in sounds familiar, it's the devil's lair strike boss music from destiny, I was sitting here listening to it and was wondering where I heard it from lol
Glad someone noticed it ;)
The final boss fight music goes hard the destiny fans will know
I mean...
Props to you and the self awareness and maturity it takes to accept when you're not doing something right.
However... I think your anger at the barrels was justified. Those barrels suck.
Anger can be a good thing, if we know how to use it. Complaining, raging and whining... It is not the best use of it, but it is *a* use for it.
Now i wanna play it again, for the 5th time!!
Hell yeah dude only left is the borderlands 1 dlcs, 2 dlcs and 3 dlcs
TPS is known to have the best characters that’s about it
My favorite part of br the pre-sequel is playing as claptrap
Not even joking I just watched the trilogy video without know this video was uploaded
Ahhh. I remember asking when this video was going to be made. Now it's finally here. I'M LATE I KNOW!
good video sir
i wasnt much a fan of this game but the start menu is my fave one out the games
Agree 100% it's the second best game in the series. It has the best max level replay, especially if you use the Jacobs sniper rifle fire rate glitch. The early complaints were spot on. This was never a sixty dollar game and i got it half off that Xmas and felt that price point was more accurate.
I know it such random thing to say but i liked Borderlands games because of the story and chilled out gameplay. I like Pre sequel even if BL2 has better gameplay. the looting part kinda always annoyed me, i hate grind bosses for RNG to drop me a unique gun.
Timothy's skills are super ridiculous once you can get absolute advantage with all the other kill skills. With a loop glitch gun 😅 neverending gun/laserfire
Despite liking the game ... I just remembered how annoying it was that I soft locked the electric shock shield mission of that blond lesbian ... twice ... just me forgetting to keep the shield, accidentally selling it till I get there and ... oh.
I like the presequel, but it definitely didnt resonate with me the same way the others did, id likely blame it on the samey-ness of the moon locations, the hub being a bit of a mess, and the only sniper class being locked behind dlc (aurelia is probably tied for best sniper in the series imo)
I would argue that Nisha is a pretty awesome sniper as well even though she doesn't "specialize" in it. Her aimbot skill makes sniping entire screens crazy fast and it's a blast to me at least. But I agree Aurelia is amazing.
Good video love it and this game
love the sepiks ost!!!!!
I had trophy too on wilhelm
I was wondering if you were gonna fight the secret boss I accidentally stumbled upon it while only level 17 and got pwnd
if you ever do a playthrough again with claptrap use continuous damage lazer weapons. they literally melt bosses within seconds except the sental unfortunately :(
its fun game and one of my favs for story telling as even vault hunters arnt hero's and shows how corrupt/bad they can be including say mad moxxi only issue i had is short endgame content it has.
Honestly tps is just amazing
Seeing him reload tediore weapons kills me inside XD
Was that....the Devil's Lair strike music from D2 during the Sentinel fight?
Yes it was
Honestly, most of my issues with the games are skill based. I didn't like bl2 that much at first, cause my intro to the series and fps in general way playing krieg (had a mich better second run with axton, then had an awesome krieg playtrhougj with a friend). The pre sequel is pretty fun, and I never really understood why people disliked it. I recently started playing bl3 too, and I can kinda get why people don't like it in comparison to bl2, but it's honestly not that bad either. The borderlands series has definatly got a special place in my heart no matter what
