Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Halo 4
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is supposed to be the Borderlands game that occurs in between Borderlands 1 and 2 as it details Handsome Jack's rise to power and wealth. The game features a pretty similar frantic gameplay to Borderlands 2 with a few major changes - Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is set in space and on a planet with low gravity and limited oxygen supply. These factors do bump up the difficult of the game by a notch and it is incredibly fun to enjoy the virtually-designed low gravity effect in first person.Like Borderlands 2, this game brings along with it a brand new cast of anti-heroes, each with their own set of special abilities. Interestingly, you get to play the annoyingly amusing (or is it "amusingly annoying"?) little robot - Claptrap - in this pre-sequel too! Of course, being space, you'll get a new line of vehicles to wreak havoc in.
If you're here for the story, then you'll won't find Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel disappointing, but when it comes to its gameplay, it does feel a bit lackluster at times. All in all though, the game bridges the story perfectly and is pretty much a must-buy for fans of the series, but if you're new to the series, it might be best to start with either Borderlands 1 or 2.
Halo 4
Halo 4 is another continuation of the main storyline where once more you are the Master Chief and it falls to you to save humanity, and maybe the galaxy at large too. Here you make planetfall on a strange world followed by the Covenant and in unknown territory you must fight for your survival. New enemies await you as you discover a hidden history while attempting for save an ailing navy ship. With Cortana suffering as well the tension ratchets high in this stunning story.With a main campaign to play through where you follow this amazing story you have many hours of fun gameplay ahead. There are lots of custom options this time around where you can find reusable items that have a in game effect such as a heal or a powerful shield. With new and upgraded weapons across the board you have a lot of great new features. Throw in the additional Spartan Ops stories and you have a lot to do here, all of it amazing fun.
