Hello Wondering Traveler and welcome to another review on another graceful Beta! My dad and I love Borderlands and after hearing that the creators has another game up their sleeves made us squeal in joy. We just wanted to play it! My dad pre-ordered it already before this beta even came out!
Once it was announced that the Beta was for testing for a week, We got to our Playstation 4 in a heart beat. We were both surprised on all the characters and the gameplay, although the game felt limited for a Beta.
It had it's fun moment, Oscar Mike's hilarious jokes, anything that Rath would say, and how awesome Marquis was. The downside was that the game felt short lived. It's awesome, I'll give you that, just the two game modes were boring. The only entertaining one was Incursion. And some of the beginning classes are kind of lacking when playing them when there's people that will out class you with an overpowered Oscar Mike
"Rage Quit! You Know you Wanna!"
-Oscar Mike
I can see that the gamers will say Oscar Mike will become the noob class weapon. He was a bit too much to handle as an enemy, but was easy to be when you're bored. But overall, the game is fun with the class and character's personality. As you play in a match, you just want to hear your character talk or just taunt at the guy you killed! Well, besides that, I hope to see better game modes in Multiplayer.
Now besides the multiplayer, the story is really fun. Although it was just a bit of it, the game's story was fun to explore. I mean, it looks like they took the AI and content from the multiplayer and put it all in the story, but it was fun to play around with.
We all know that the characters have a fun personality and a really good set of weapons, but that's what I love in a game! And I just love the TF2 feel! Even though a "Certain" other game has that at it's peak...
But still, I love those kind of games that explore the character instead of the game entirely. Well, this feels like a good way to end, so I would rate the beta a 7/10 for a good presentation and great example of what can come in the multiplayer modes, and a 9/10 for the story's fun and feel to keep you playing.
Did you get to play beta? How many character did you unlock? Did what was in the story? Well, you can tell if you, but as usual...
