Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Call of Duty: Ghosts
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: Ghosts
Call of Duty: Ghosts is set in an alternative timeline where the world is a very different place. Here you step into the shoes of Logan Walker as he joins the elite Ghosts in order to try and bring order to the chaos. This begins a story that takes you on a roller coaster adventure, and gives you plenty of action to be involved in.The campaign sticks to one main character in this expansion of the series, and gives you the chance to also play a faithful sidekick German Shepherd too, which is a fun twist from the usual gameplay. There is also a new Extinction mode that pits you and your friends against the awakened Cryptids, a fun and alternative place to enjoy shooting things in this stunning game. Once more there are improvements to the multiplayer system that will even give you the option to destroy terrain and nuke the area around you too. A stunning addition to the franchise that goes in a different direction just when it needed too.
