I myself am one of a group of gamers, which back steadily between casual and core gamers and herdümpelt. Borderlands 2 is one of the best games that I have ever played and would highly recommend it. The story is ok, but the combat system, the weapons and skill selection, the charm of the surroundings and just the complete package of the game is very good. However, it is recommended that before Borderlands is played.
