This series features one of my favorite games of all time and one of my most hated games of all time. I love the original BioShock. To this day I don't believe there is another game that has you hunting down things to kill, like how you would hunt down a Big Daddy. I hate BioShock Infinite. Just when you thought you were going to get some next-gen Big Daddy or weird-big-hand-dude, Big Handy! The hunting aspect of the game was gone. Super boring and nothing memorable. Except how much I hated playing it. And I played all the way through. BioShock 2 is definitely better, but not as good as the original.

Here's to the New BioShock being a throw back to the classic, creepy, underwater game we played many, many years ago. Good luck, take your time and make a great game!

Oh boy, more stuff to gather.

Did you like Borderlands? I did. It's one of my favorites.

Did you like Borderlands 2? I did for a while. It was fun leveling up and through the first two playthroughs. The later added third playthough was a chore though and lessened the fun for me. The only DLC I enjoyed was the D&D inspired Tiny Tina one and that was mostly for the story as the guns were crap. BL2 had some serious issues with loot, as in not giving it out, and not having the same variety and overpowered fun feel of the first. Also many of the guns used 2, 4, or even 6 bullets per shot which really hurt ammo management, forcing you to scour every box and other lootable item in the game just to keep firing. But it's still a worthwhile game if you can get it cheap with all DLC included.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes place chronologically in between the two games (hence the odd title), but make no mistake, this is BL2's engine.

A sequel to the first game and a prequel to the second game = pre-sequel. Playable claptrap and we finally get an ice element!

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes place between the first and second games in the series. Witness Handsome Jack's rise to power as you play as Athena, Wilhelm, The Sheriff, or Claptrap.

So it looks like Borderlands is not immune to the "ship it off to another studio for a quick follow up while you work on the next-next version" disease. Obviously I'm not a fan of this, but the stuff in the video looks alright and it's on PC so it's next-gen for me. No love for PS4/XBone users is a surprise though. 

The game will be released "later" in 2014.

During the Gearbox PAX East panel, new information about upcoming Borderlands 2 content was revealed. Here's all we know, plus some video!

Level Cap

On April 2, 2013, there will be a free patch that will unlock the third playthrough Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM).

Also on the 2nd, there will be a $5.00 (400 MSP) DLC that will raise the level cap 11 levels to 61 and introduce new Pearlescent rarity gear (similar to the General Knoxx DLC in BL1). This DLC will be FREE for season-pass holders.

Gearbox has brought out a teaser video for Borderlands 2 with brief glimpses of the new Vault Hunter.
