Borderlands 2 vs PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
Borderlands 2
Borderlands 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular first game, Borderlands. This time around, the game brings a whole different storyline, starring the charismatic and cunning but equally as whacky CEO of Hyperion, Handsome Jack as the villain. Featuring all new characters/vault hunters and classes, you'll get to dive, once again, into the world of Pandora. Armed with more weapons that you can use, you're hell-bent on exacting your revenge on Jack and will shoot-down any enemy creature or people alike that stand in your way. There are even more loot to be had too - there are shields, grenades, relics, class mods and more for you to loot and then use to augment your character.If you love Borderlands, you'll love Borderlands 2 even more! It has been dubbed as the best game in the series mainly because of the huge amount of innovation it brings and this is a sentiment that we express as well... sorry Borderlands: The Pre-sequel! If you get the chance, you should really check this game out!
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a battle royale game that features a vast open world island filled with plenty of resources to scavenge. Being a battle royale game, everyone will start off on an equal playing field. Through clever scavenging and picking the correct fights will you end up with the last few survivors to battle it out for the winning spot as the map will gradually shrink, pushing survivors closer and closer together.In some way, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds reminds me of Hunger Games, albeit a much more brutal Hunger Games that you can actually play in, and I'd actually like that.
However, the game is still pretty poorly optimized long after its release as an early access game, and well, the game has drawn plenty of flak since the devs have started banning anybody who killed a streamer who cries foul due to this thing called "Stream sniping", giving rise to a pretty bad and toxic atmosphere where streamers are players whom you literally can't kill in fear of being banned for no reason other than getting the upper hand on a streamer. Worst thing is the game's not exactly a free-to-play, so if you do get banned, that's literally money down the drain.
So, even if the game is as epic a battle royale game as it is, you should keep these downsides in mind going in. Gameplay-wise, the game is amazing, but you will need to be wary of its increasingly toxic community (both players and the team managing the PR side of the game).
Its developer, BlueHole, has recently (as of March 2018) released the mobile versions of the game, PUBG Mobile. The mobile version of PUBG is available on both Android and iOS.
