Tales from the Borderlands

[Sell Out] or [Retain Dignity]

YESH!

Game somehow ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up my safe files so episode 3 loaded a default save file instead of mine. Edit: Replayed the entire game from the start and didnt have a problem this time. I enjoyed the story, music, writing so I would recommend.

The idea for Tales came about when representatives of Telltale and Gearbox studios chatted at the VGA gala, which was the gaming industry's attempt to compete with the Oscars at the time, and came to the conclusion that it would make sense to make a more peaceful adventure from the otherwise constantly exploding Borderlands universe. Tales from the Borderlands are full of black humor. The writers managed to perfectly capture the atmosphere of the world, which they quickly and painlessly introduce even people who are unfamiliar with the original. That's right, you can enjoy Tales even without knowing the Borderlands saga. And if you know it? Then on the contrary, you will appreciate a deeper excursion into the souls of bandits and psychos, with whom you have only watered the dry sands of Pandora until now. A turn-based storyline, here and there you collect some money, open some chests, hack some junk or program the equipment of a robot that will fly to you from orbit and trample the intruding bandits. This style of games is not for everyone and some may find it boring and slow, including me. [b] 15% [/b]

Tales from the Borderlands is easily one of the best narrative games I've ever played. I enjoyed every single minute of all five episodes, and by the end I didn't want it to be over. The story is phenomenal, the pacing is excellent, and the way the game constantly switches between Rhys and Fiona being tied up and dragged through the desert while telling their version of the story before jumping back into the actual events is such a brilliant storytelling idea that kept me hooked the entire time. After finishing Borderlands 2, this game makes so much more sense than it did the first time I played it. I understood so many more references, returning characters, and jokes, which made the experience even better. The cast is honestly one of the biggest reasons why this game is so special. Rhys and Fiona are incredibly well-written protagonists with amazing chemistry, Vaughn is hilarious and surprisingly lovable, Sasha is a fantastic character, Loader Bot completely stole my heart, Gortys is absolutely adorable, and even the side characters feel memorable, unique, and full of personality. Every character has their own charm, and they all play an important role in making the adventure feel so alive. There isn't a single character that feels out of place, and by the end of the game I genuinely cared about all of them. On top of that, the game is packed with hilarious jokes and some of the funniest dialogue I've seen in a Telltale game, constantly making me laugh without taking away from the emotional moments. And that final boss fight... wow. Even though I already knew what was coming, it felt so epic that I had the same feeling as if I were experiencing it for the very first time. The music, the atmosphere, and everything happening in that moment made for an unforgettable finale. Games like this are exactly why I miss the old Telltale so much. We really don't get many story-driven adventures like these anymore, and Tales from the Borderlands is proof of just how incredible they were at creating unforgettable characters, emotional stories, and adventures that stay with you long after the credits roll. 10/10, an absolute masterpiece.

Bon jeu, évidemment c'est un telltale donc il ne faut pas s'attendre à ce que les choix aient des conséquences, rien n'affecte vraiment le jeu c'est toujours l'illusion du choix, mais c'est assez fun. L'univers et le style Borderlands sont bien adaptés à ce genre, ça permet de caler pas mal de blagues sans trop se prendre la tête, on rencontre pas mal de personnages des jeux précédents. C'est cool pour une fois de jouer un membre d'Hyperion, d'une grosse corporation , qui plus est avec Beau Jack dans sa tête. Ça m'a un peu surpris, j'ai passé un bon moment mais je ne compte clairement pas le refaire, ça n'a aucune rejouabilité. Un peu décevant que l'argent ne serve qu'à changer de tenues, ça n'a pas grand intérêt et aucune incidence. Les personnages ça reste le gros point fort, on prend du plaisir à les suivre, à se les imaginer, pas mal aimé Rhys, Gortys aussi qui était pas mal.

10/10 shoulda played sooner i loved the lore . RIP our mechanic goat
