Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Red Crucible: Reloaded
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.
Red Crucible: Reloaded
Red Crucible: Reloaded is an MMOFPS game that's very similar to its original game, Red Crucible: Firestorm. The game provides players with the usual FPS gameplay along with a wide arsenal of weapons to do combat with and fun game modes to play in. Players can even equip abilities like calling in airstrikes. This is important mainly because similar to Firestorm, this game allows you to put some armor around yourself by driving a tank, and obviously, bullets do little to no damage to the thick armor that tanks are famous for. More powerful explosive weapons like airstrikes and rocket launchers will be needed.Since the game requires the Unity Web Player, be sure to download that first before attempting to load the game. It may be a browser game that requires no installation, but your web browser will need to have the necessary tools for the game to run. Of course, if you can't make it work on your browser, you can always download the game via Steam instead.
Red Crucible: Reloaded is very similar to Red Crucible: Firestorm, and honestly, if you love Firestorm, you'll enjoy playing this game. However, if you have not tried either game, you should really hop into one - I'd recommend Firestorm though - and give the game a try. Its vehicular warfare does make all the difference if you were to compare the game with other MMOFPSes!
