Telltale takes a good thing and gives it to you 4 more times. Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic point-and-click graphic adventure comedy video game similar to Telltale's other games. They could have gotten away with just having one solid one at the very beginning of the series, but no. the Opening Music/Credits never disappointed. Oh, and to add one final amazing bit about each episode.
Heck, if the Borderlands movie is even half this, it'll be a box office smash. I'm satisfied with the 10-12 hours of pure enjoyment.
I can't think of how they could have made this game any better. Not because this is the best of all games this year (which it might be), or that its going to be a great game for everyone (which it could be), but because. which really kinda made me stop and reflect a little at times. at every moment Jack never stops being true to himself. even the 'pearls of wisdom' and revelations he offers Rhys. Just every interaction with him is awesome. or as a reward/vengeance for 'getting the job done'.Īnd while this isn't really a spoiler to anyone who's obviously played enough not to be afraid to read this far, i'll tag it anyways. In Borderlands, death either felt tragic. I understand Game of Thrones likes to "kill the characters you love" but in a game it often felt like the game was punishing me even though I did everything right. Heck, half of Borderlands' 'charm' is how they find ways to slip in repeat appearances from previous games.ĭeaths ? They feel meaningful, memorable, and occasionally deliberate results of your actions. Everything Game of Thrones (the game) did wrong, Borderlands does right.Ĭameo appearances ? Completely fits in. I *am* a big fan of Game of Thrones, so I thought between the two Telltale games, this one would be the secondstringer.
I'm *still* not a big fan of the whole "diablo/FPS" mashup, but the dark/quirky humor kinda grows on me. I'm not a huge Borderlands fan, or at least, I thought I wasn't, until this game convinced me to play something besides Borderlands 1 and so I picked up Borderlands 2. I am *not* exaggerating when I say it's easily in my top 10 gaming moments. The fight scene in episode 4 is easily one of my favorite and/or most memorable experiences in my history of gaming. So with the final episode just released I just have to post a couple non-spoiler-ish impressions. search didnt turn up a more recent thread for this game. Your every decision as both Rhys and Fiona will affect the people and world around you: this is a game where YOU are the final author in a brand new Borderlands story set on the unforgiving world of Pandora.Well. You are Rhys…and you are also Fiona, because like every tale worth telling, there are two…oh, you read that part already? Well, it’s important to remember that there *are* two sides to every story, and you my friend, you will tell this tale, or…tales, through the choices that you make. Who is telling the truth, and why is it important That’s up to you to decide. Lured into danger by a Vault key and all it promises, the unlikely duo are thrown together with a common goal and a huge amount of mistrust. Set after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is about Rhys, a Hyperion company man looking to become the next Handsome Jack, and it’s also about Fiona, a Pandoran con artist out to score the biggest of all swindles. Especially one about a Vault key, the Hyperion Corporation, bandits, loot, gangsters, Vault Hunters, secret Atlas tech, explosions, getaways, extortion, betrayal, and mayhem. Set after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from Like all good tales, there’s more than one side to a story.
