Fantastic game, but if you go from borderlands 2 back to borderlands 1, it's quite clear that it's not as polished as it's sequal. Hint, Play the first game before the second. (that was sarcasm, for you noobs that think this is an obvious point)

Great job helping others catch up to it but I think you should of added in the expansion packs mainly General Knoxx and Claptrap's Revolution DLC cuz their story also help drive what happens after BL 1. I guess they can check the wikia to find out.

You should do this more often. I can't wait to watch a catch up video in preparation for Half Life 3. Someday.

Nice!  These types of catch up video should be done for all sequals.  Very entertaining.

Mate you're so dumb the satellite is the Guardian Angel as it says "4N631" or Angel in leet speak :( i face palmed when you questioned the satellite 

andybauman
andybauman moderatorstaff

 @RandyCorpse I submit that the Guardian Angel is using the satellite, but I don't think she is the satellite. In fact, right at the start of Blands2 you learn more about her.

 @andybauman  @RandyCorpse yeah i gotta agree with andy. she isnt the satellite. play borderlands 2 before calling people dumb. it isnt very nice.

Suprisingly refreshing to hear a North American accent. I'm all UK'd out for some reason. Have this guy do more. Like @mrzshahrukh said, do the DLC too.

 

Poor reviewer guy though, be all burned out before playing 2. I shed a tear for you.

It's awesome how many Dan Simmons references there are in these games. Mass Effect and now Borderlands 2, to name a few (unless, of course, they are going even further back into the dredges of greek mythology)

 @mrzshahrukh  I ran out of time to do the DLCs :( I didn't expect the core game to be as hard or as long as it is. Poor excuse, i know.

confused... I didn't see half of that in my 1st playthrough.. probly cause I was playing online with friends the whole way? Anyway I'm doing a 2nd playthrough now so maybe I'll catch what I missed, cause nothing really made sense to me.

GavinUK86

 @PayneKiller thats one huge flaw i find with co-op games. i always miss out on the story telling because im either not paying attention but someone on the mic is talking or im talking, causing myself to miss it.

 @555671ari DLC is only thing I didn't play.. so it would be appreciated, if of course it matters whatsoever to the main storyline.

Great video! I needed this recap before I hoped on Borderlands 2. You did a great job with this video. It was fun to watch and I learned very important stuff lol.
