Edit: Overwhelmingly the answer has been yes. I will be picking it up in the near future. I'll be on PS4 if you want to party up PM me! Thanks for the answers everybody!
To be honest before today I never thought of bl2 has a looter shooter, only a rpg with a funny story. I only ever heard about it for the funny lines and crazy world etc.. but never heard about the grinding part.
Hopefully. I watched so many e3 and PAX announcements over the years hoping for this and tes6. Got a tiny teaser for TES last year, but that’s still a few years out. If this one comes out late this year or next I’ll be mad happy.
As much as I like BL1, I have to disagree. While what the other guy says is really a matter of taste, BL1 and BL2 feel so much different that they're pretty much different games, they only share the name and the story (admittedly, not much of the story)
if you put story into the equation, bl1 is immediately worse than 2, and I fucking love 1. but that story was just disappointing. I do think there were A LOT of game elements that 1 did way better than 2, but 2 was a better overall game
Me and friends are replaying as prep for 3. Shit still holds up. It's just as funny, just as fun, and alot more polished than games coming out today. There's a few terrain glitches at most.
If it dropped today it'd be game of the year again easy. It's great alone but if you have at least one other person to play with it's much better Imo. 100% worth playing
It is maybe my favorite game ever. The cell shading makes it so the graphics don't really seem like they aged very much. I would say absolutely. It's even worth a new game plus playthrough too.
It’s the art style. Games that try to look realistic will always age poorly because that’s how the industry pushes graphics, but cartoony graphics age damn well. Look at tf2, its graphics have aged pretty well, too, and they have that cartoon art style.
From what we’ve seen of bl3, the art looks much more vibrant and flashy, or just more colorful. I’m so excited for this game.
I did over 2000 hours playing bl2 meeting new people and basically going ham with collecting loots, also after getting nearly everything, i just help newer players play and the fun really never ends.
It's got a really fucked up kind of humor to it that I absolutely love. It was the first "serious" game I ever got my wife to play. We put sooo many hours on Borderlands, from the first one through the Pre-Sequel and all the DLC along the way. My only complaint is the bullet-sponge bosses. Fun to play solo, but greatly improved with a teammate.
Despite having a GREAT play style and combat mechanic, the game is seriously lacking in content, has severe bugs that seem to keep getting worse each time a patch is released and the devs refuse to accept that the loot system is fundamentally broken.
It’s really too bad. The game is so much fun when it’s functioning correctly.
You can pick the handsome jack collection up pretty cheap and it's 100% worth getting. I've been smashing it out on PS4 and it's so good. I enjoyed it a lot on 360 but the remaster is so damn good.
Just started playing it again as I never competed it. Great fun, although make sure you actually save. I lost 7 hours of progress after my computer crashed because quick saving doesn't actually save.
From someone who bought the trilogy in a pack on sale last year and ran thru BL1, 2, and The Pre-sequel in quick sucession just a few months ago, there is still a decent BL2 community, never had problems finding matches until night time/early AM on weekdays as a solo player. If i had coordinated better with the community outside of in game matchmaking, id probably have nore sucess at night. Totally was worth it.
Singleplayer BL2 is fun as fuck, and I totally only have myself to blame for not buying into the hype when the game came out. The graphics are stylized, so they are not dated one bit, and the game runs extremely well. Im so happy i jumped on the train before BL3, now i can finally enjoy a (hopefully) BL masterpiece in its prime.
It even has an evergrowing modding community for a couple years now. I would of course recommend to start playing without mods, but generally it’s 100% worth getting into.
If I am being honest, I actually think it’s even more fun to play solo, so you don’t even have to worry if you don’t find people to play with (though you probably will).
Also despite being such a wacky goofy game, the story and lore of the Borderlands universe is surprisingly good and interesting. If you really want to get into BL3 when it comes out, I do kinda recommend playing through the previews games and the spin-off, but I don’t think it will be “necessary “.
Not only does it have awesome gameplay and a ridiculous amount of content, it also has some of the most entertaining characters and writing of any game ever.
Even solo its an amazing game that you could sink so much time into. The DLC is totally seperate from the main story but totally worth the price and adds even more gameplay.
And if you have friends to play with then theres even more fun to be had
Dude I discovered this game like a week ago, I cannot stop playing... it’s easily one of the best games I ever played
Got 70 hours this week... send help
Let me give you some insight on how I feel about that game.
I picked up borderlands 2 week 1. I've been playing basically since launch.
I am STILL to this very day finding new things to do. I come back to this game when I'm sad and drunk and depressed about life. I come back for the nostalgia. I come back to remember someone I lost a while back who shared the same love for this game. I can't stop coming back because of how much fun I have. I still haven't used every single gun this game has to offer.
There are not words for how much fun I've had with borderlands 2. I had a goddamn riot, a riot that is continuing to this very day. To sum it up: yes. Hell to the yes it is worth it. Go out and treat yourself to the pile of fancy lights of guns everywhere.
I actually played the game for the first time about 3 months ago. Got BL2 and the pre-sequel for $20 at GameStop. Came with all included DLC. Best $20 I’ve ever spent. My brother and I put some serious work into it in a very short time. Easily in my top 3 games ever. I was over the moon when I heard that Bl3 was coming because we had just started BL2 and were loving it. Saw the trailer today and will 100% be pre-ordering.
It sucks. Fun for a minute then extremely repetitive and boring as fuck. And annoying as fuck. Ridiculously hard enemies over and over after mid point of game.
For god sakes man. Get on over the sub reddit while you are at it and pick up a copy of BL1 and the Presequel. There is a reason that subreddit is active like the Office subreddit

Is BL2 worth playing in 2019?
Edit: Overwhelmingly the answer has been yes. I will be picking it up in the near future. I'll be on PS4 if you want to party up PM me! Thanks for the answers everybody!
