In order for me to want to play Tales from the Borderlands, I felt I needed to get through the main games first, so I've reinstalled both games on the One. I've never played the first on the One actually. I've always found Borderlands to be pretty boring, especially on my own so I've only played several hours of each (and more or less just in the beginning areas, up to around level 10). Since I didn't play much of the first which I got around the time of its release, I didn't care to play two on last-gen. It was when my brother and I were looking for current-gen couch co-op games that we decided to get the remaster of two when that came out. I have to say now that I've gone back, I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit.
Originally, I was put off by a lack of focus on an interesting story and the loot shooting bored me, now I don't really mind as much that there's a lack of story (what's there is sufficient I suppose, at least right now), and I'm enjoying the shooting a lot more. Finding new, more powerful weapons is great as well. At first, I thought it'd be a chore to go through them just to play Tales from a Borderlands, but it's not. I've read that you don't need to play the main games before you play Tales from the Borderlands, but I hate missing out on even slight references and what have you. Okay, so I know what I wrote above has nothing to do with the topic title, but as the title says, should I play the Pre-Sequel first, or play it after I finish two?
So far as I play the games, the only thing I am not a huge fan of is the class systems. It would have been cool to be a little more customizable because I am playing with snipers and shotguns, but you can't specialize in both upgrade wise. I'm liking the exploring more, the challenge of running into slightly higher level enemies, and I also like the music more. It's all getting me more excited about Tales from the Borderlands too, but firstly I'd like to know if it makes more sense to play the Pre-Sequel before or after the main game of two.
