What do I love the most about the Borderlands series? I love the complete lack of seriousness in Borderlands. The characters are funny, the quests are funny and the guns can be funny (remember that weird cursed gun that made that horrible cartoony noise every time you fired it?) They are games that are meant to be completely zany.
The first game, Borderlands, introduced me to the crazy world of Pandora. Populated mostly by aggressive, disgusting wildlife and bandits who want to hack your face off, Pandora wasn't the normal beautiful environment I was used to. But there sure was a lot of stuff to shoot and loot! But what about the ending? Yeah, it pretty much sucked, but the second game redeemed the crappy ending in the first game.
Borderlands 2 introduced me to the villain Handsome Jack. Handsome Jack has some of the most ridiculous dialogue I've ever heard in a game and he's a great villain, I wanted to kill him. I purchased a few of the 900 add-on packs that accompany the Borderlands game and enjoyed the fact that they pulled Handsome Jack into the side stories and kept him as the main villain character.
In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel it looks like the whackiness will continue and be magnified beyond the first two games. This game will take place on one of Pandora's moons which means there is low gravity--bouncing and shooting may just be one of the best things to happen to a shooter. Besides shooting while bouncing, the game looks to add some unique playable characters and everyone's favorite wub-wub robot--Claptrap!
This video is awesome and if you haven't played any of the Borderlands games should give you an idea of the general weirdness of the series.
And just watch this one because it is absolutely ridiculous.
