I thought borderlands put that as their subtitle as a joke. But now I see weirdos actually using it.

A prequel is always after the original. If we use pre-sequel that means that we have to call all prequels a pre-sequel dont we?

A pre sequel is when you're telling a story that sits between the original and the sequel, but is released after the sequel

Yes, interquel is the proper name. Obviously they named the BL game that way to be funny.

Well it BL's case it just means "before the sequel" which is BL2. It's a funny name imo.

Definitely not, since there have been no other titles in the series, a pre-sequel can't even technically exist

BL pre sequel is a story that takes place between BL1 and 2 going into detail about Jack's rise in power.

Previously this sort of thing was called an interlude.

An early example of this is Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero

FFIV Complete Collection had FFIV: Interlude set between the original and The After Years, but it wasn't a full length game.

I see...But a pre-sequel isn't always synonymous with an interlude, right?

That's still just a sequel to 3

If we ever got a game detailing the events between MGS2 and MGS4 that would be a pre-sequel

It's a word salad made up by triple A developers trying to pretend they're quirky indie developers with spunk and integrity.

I don't read books anymore. I know that makes me sound very ignorant, and video games don't have the level of storytelling (as a whole) compared to books, but I see video games as the future of books. I want to play through the story and see it.

I was an avid "chapter book" reader as a kid and also into high school. After that I stopped and haven't gone back. I haven't read a book in ten years.
