Tales_from_the_Borderlands_cover_art.jpg


I really wanted to love this I just didn't.

That's not to say it's bad because it isn't. I liked it. But best telltale game? Nah. Not for me. Not even close.

If you like Borderlands there's no way you can't like this. It nails that games aesthetic and sense of humour. The problem is the main appeal of borderlands is its addictive game play and this can't convey that


The story and characters here are just meh. The story was a convoluted mess. The characters are mostly paper thin. That's not a huge problem in the borderlands games because those are about the game play.

In a game like this where that's stripped away that's what your left to focus on.

At points I was just flat out bored going through this. There's time when I could just put the control down forever and occasionally hit a button.

The qtes had no consequence. if you press the wrong button it didn't even matter.

However the game is flat out hilarious. I laughed out loud at least once or twice an episode.. But that's just not enough for me.

I also felt like the episodes were too long and had too much filler.


This isn't bad,but maybe my expectations were too high. This isn't touching the walking dead season 1 or the wolf among us. Games that genuinely gripped me start to finish because of their stories and characters.

In this I just felt like beyond the humour there was nothing for me to hold onto.


In fact the more I played and the deeper I got internally the score I was giving it kept dropping because I was just bored way too often.

6.5/10

Been alternating nightly between FFXV and Persona 5. Still I'm taking a long ass time though I've had Persona 5 for like 3 months now still not even halfway through the game but got like 63 hours in :skip:

You should have compiled these into a thread.
I think the arcadium needs more of this. :SNAKESALUTE:
Even though......you DID tell me this at one point....look at you now:lolbron:
Nobody cares about your opinion,theyre going to buy whatever the fukk they want. Whats the point of this thread? Like people sitting around waiting for another poster to give them the go ahead on what they should purchase? :dahell:


Mods,throw this dumpster fire thread in the bushes.


Courtdog ass thread :mjlol:

But for real. Good stuff. I think it would make for an interesting thread.

Well TECHNICALLY im playing FFXV, Pokémon Moon, Titan Fall 2, and Xenoverse 2

but REALISTICALLY, Pokémon is getting the most burn, followed by FFXV. Lets just say im glad I got TF2 and Xenoverse 2 cheap :francis:

It helps that Pokémon is portable and easier to get into after work+work out. I can play it on lunch or while cooking at home :ohlawd:

If only the 3ds were water proof :patrice:

そ言うじゃなくて
ってか、ペルソナ5 は最初から最後まで長過ぎだよ!

:Chancesmug:

I've been an a$$hole to pretty much every poster here and a lot of it is trolling out of boredom I wouldn't take it too seriously I don't have any actual problem with anyone.


Sometimes I just like to be an ass hole just to see how they react. I'm like that in real life too :Itslitmib:
