Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Call of Duty: Black Ops III
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.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Call of Duty: Black Ops III follows on from the previous installment and is set in the year 2065 where the world is undergoing huge changes both physically and politically. Here you step into the enhanced shoes of Black Ops agent working for the Winslow Accord.Now with the world facing some pretty tough challenges following the third cold war and all of the climate changes, as well as advanced technology there is are now more desperate measures needed. It falls to you to step in behind enemy lines and save the day in a fun campaign. Where there are differences here is that you have both a nightmare mode and a zombie mode to play after you complete the main story. With a fun multiplayer option with a huge range of game styles and customization you have a lot to do in this great game.
