Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Vendetta Online
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.
Vendetta Online
Vendetta Online is a truly cross-platform space MMO where you'll get to pilot your very own spacecraft and set off to explore the vast galaxy. Despite looking rather old-school, the gameplay has a really nice feel to it especially when you're shooting down enemy ships due to its physics-based mechanics. You can also customize your own ship down to the very fine details.Vendetta Online may not be as great as EVE Online, but it has some really cool game content that will keep you engaged for hours... that is if you're into this type of games. Best yet, the game is available not only on PC, Mac and mobile, but also on VR devices, and you can interact with other players from these platforms in the same game world. That's something amazing, isn't it?
