Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Star Wars: The Old Republic
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.
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Star Wars: The Old Republic is simply an amazing Star Wars-themed MMORPG where you get to dive into the constant conflict between the Sith and the Jedis of the Galactic Republic. Choose a side and one from the the four different classes available to begin your journey as either a Sith or a Jedi. The depth in the gameplay is brilliant as well. You'll get to customize and improve your own character through a variety of ways. You can then test out your build and strength in a PvE or a PvP setting. The best (and trickiest) part though is its storyline... and this game nails it somehow. Fans of Star Wars will be glad to know that the plot fits perfectly into the franchise.All in all, Star Wars: The Old Republic has a lot going for it and is a game that not onyl fans of Star Wars should play. If you enjoy playing MMORPGs, you should definitely check this game out.
