What Will You Play First, TPS or BL2?

your comment made me curious, didn’t the PreSequel take place between BL1 and Bl2, so how does playing presequel first mess up the storyline in BL2, sense it was before BL2, Played all on PS3, just maybe I missed something on the story, just curious

It wouldn’t mess anything up. It would actually make more sense playing tps first. To see the start of handsome jacks story and how he turned evil. I dunno why he said playing pre sequel first would mess the story line up.

It’s a tough choice for me having played bl2 through its main campaign when it first came out so I know what happens there story wise. Although I never touched TPS game so haven’t decided what I’ll end up trying first on xbox-one this week.

I have not tried the new characters on TPS, so my head says I should start there.

But my heart says BL2.

Heart will probably win out in the end…

I already have BL2 and all the DLCs on Steam so I will most likely play TPS first.
I don’t know how well that’s gonna go since I just LOVE playing Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep. ( and that ending <3 )

another reason im doing PreSequel first, to save the best for last, take my time and enjoy the game

Actually if you think about it, The TPS story is narrated from after the events of bl2 if that makes sense. So if you didn’t play bl2 first then you would have no reason to know the TPS story and you wouldn’t know why Lilith is being such a biznitch to Athena in TPS
Nor would you know why any of it is important to the borderlands series.

I’m playing BL2 first, again. Then TPS, which I’ve never played.

One reason I can think of playing the “last” one first. The Last of Us. You play that before you play Left Behind even though Left Behind is a prequel. Playing LB first would introduce spoilers to the main game.

I’m new to Borderlands in general and only recently started with BL2. I might start with TPS and then play BL2 to experience story chronologically.

I told myself I was going to play TPS first since I haven’t played any of the DLC yet, but the siren song got me, and now I am back on two playing Maya again.

I’m going to play BL2 first, because if you play TPS first then BL2 you will be too used to the gravity mechanics (double jump and ground smash) you will not want to play BL2

That’s what you get for switching console families.

Because (terrible spoilers down there):

Lilith says Roland is dead.

Sanctuary is flying.

Brick is with the Vault Hunters.

And some other things I forgot. But mainly those three.

i see your point on the spoilers, even thow presequel was suppose to be first, they should have left out some of that. But I ended up going with bl2 mainly anyway, too many glitches and eye soares going on in the presequel anyway, did play the new DLC for a bit, but couldn’t handle the graphics issues and bugs, or even the sound always going out here and there, that was annoyng

Borderlands 2, simply because it is more fun. Sorry, TPS.

On this note, I love how Tales from The Borderlands filled in all those blanks :))))

I got all dlcs, doing BL1 TPS then BL2

Just picked up the handsome collection earlier this week, playing TPS as its the only one I haven’t played. It’s too much fun, the low gravity is a blast. Finally glad I can double jump, it’s going to be very hard to go back.

I went with Borderlands 2 to refresh my memory, and then PreSequel to understand any references from the latter. :slight_smile:

I’m installing it now, I’ve had it for a while and never got around to playing. I never got too far into on the 360, so I’m starting with BL2. It’s just a shame that I can’t transfer my save and gear from the 360, since I no longer have the disc.
