Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

[snuffy]

I've just started playing this..hmm, it's okay. More of the same really. Having said that, I like simple shooters with not much thinking involved (I have to think enough at work !).

It really is just more of the same. First boss level and it's bang, dead. Respawn. Bang, dead. Respawn. Bag, dead. Then off to find a trainer. Infinite shields and heath. Now at least it's playable.

I did assume a lot of people would play as Claptrap, which is a fair assumption. I'm playing as Wilhelm. The first boss level annoyed me to death (literally). Up until then it's fairly easy, then you just keep getting killed. I did read one way to kill the boss but I could never get close enough to try it. I've I'd not have cheated I'd have given up. I know it's not supposed to be easy, but if they make it too hard then you'll just give up.

Whilst playing my wife asked "Why are you playing something with Barbara Windsor in it ?" She was referring to Pickle's voice !

I finished it yesterday afternoon, fully cheating of course (infinite health etc). Now I'm going to finished all the side missions.

I do agree about the map, it's pretty useless. I found a couple of bugs, where something has not happened when it should so you have to exit and restart the level and then the thing gets triggered and off you go again.

And judging by the appearance of the Empyrean Sentinel at the end of credits, they're already setting up the next round of Borderlands!

That's exactly what I thought as well.
