I love The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, but this is a game that deserves a season 2

One of the things I loved about Tales from the Borderlands was how it showed how vault hunters were viewed by the average Pandoran. Basically, vault hunters are like superheroes to the average Pandoran

I freaking love Tales From the Borderlands, it has some of my favorite characters in the franchise and my favorite story in Borderlands. Rhys is my favorite character in video games and in Borderlands.

i couldnt disagree more with your opinion on the main borderlands games but i agree 100% about tales

I got into tales from the borderlands not knowing borderlands lore at all and holy shit did I fucking fall in love. I’m so glad that this game had cameos in the latest game

Good video, although it's a shame you didn't mention that the final conversation between Rhys and Fiona is mostly the player asking questions, and then answering them. You're in control of most of the questions/answers and are therefore conversing with yourself, but it is done in such a natural way that you wouldn't really notice. Brilliant game, I'm so glad it's back on Steam, hopefully we'll see a season 2 one day, one that's neither bigger nor better, but just as good.

This game had the best direction and music usage out if all the telltale games. The cinematography during the intro sequence of the second episode is so fucking good. Didnt care for the ending that much but its definitely criminally underrated. The dialogue is pretty good and doesn’t feel clunky since the cast are comedically skilled actors. If you havent played it, definitely give it a try.

I legit almost cried 3 different times in tales from the borderlands lol cause there is some pretty deep and sad story in it

I love how Rhys is the main character but everyone in the main cast (including Vaughn) becomes cooler and more skilled than him as the game progresses but his development never comes to a stop nor does he ever lose his likeability. He continues being a loser, but a loser who has learned a lot on his journey with his friends. And I admire that a lot. :)

I think a way to solve the awkward reason for why Fiona's mad at Rhys in the framing device while at the same time keeping it intact would be for Rhys to have options to tell Fiona and co about Jack... but Jack keeps thwarting his attempts. It would be a nice parallel to him thinking Fiona left him behind on Helios when she didn't really, Rhys keeps trying to tell them he has Jack in his head but he literally can't. Maybe even put some manipulation on Rhys for good measure. It would also rob the player of choice in a way that makes more sense, Jack is NOT a player character. It wouldn't make sense for him to compromise himself for the player's choice, so his intervention would just make more sense for why Fiona's reason to be mad continued to exist.

No lie I had to pause the game after Episode 4’s slowmo walk, Fiona’s disgusted slide in followed by Scooter just killed me.

It was a different approach to the same world. It revived my interest in BORDERLANDS and actually got me to look at Game of Thrones' Season 1 (wishing now that a Season 2 could give closure). *Well written video. If I ever make a commentary video, I'll be sure to make one for this gem, that most of my BL-playing friends have not tried*

The character selection at climax was gold, and the battle wasn't painful, which I see makes it a level above the rest.

"I dont want them to make Fiona a playable character in BL3." Little did you know, they would just forget about Fiona entirely.

Yearly revisited to this video :D, especially after the dissapointment of a TFTB2

I couldn't agree more. As someone who has played through almost all of Telltale's games, I can honestly say this is one of their best work. I'm sad to hear it didn't do well financially. This could also be in part to the saturation of Telltale games after TWD. Pumping out so many games a year with very little gameplay changes between them led to player fatigue, I think. I'm glad to see they're coming back and I hope they will do much better this time around. Perhaps they could also ditch the episodic plan and release the games as a whole similar to Life is Strange 3.

This needs more views. I'm happy that at least one person loved this game as much as me.

We need a season 2 :(

I only knew about this game because I was looking at the comments for the first Borderlands 3 trailer and saw someone freaking out, that Rhys was in a mainline game. And I was like "who is Rhys?" and learned he comes from the canon telltale game. Since I wanted to to as update as possible before BL3 comes out I got myself the game and played it with no expectations. And man it became such an unexpected hit for me.

Episode 2’s intro song is one of my favorite songs ever now. It’s so damn good.

This deserves more views, man! A beautifully worded breakdown of one of my favorite stories ever.

I couldn’t agree more about this. Tales is very underrated, it didn’t receive a lot of promotion at the time but it was fantastic and very successful. Shame we won’t see a season 2

Great video man, this may be the last we see of these pack of rogues, without the tainting of Gearbox’s writing, but as sponge bob once said “we’ll always have fun...in our memories.”

I'd love to see your take on new tales from the borderlands.

Great video and review man! You basically cover everything I'd want to have covered in a review of this game.

I disagree very much on the quality of the main series Borderlands games, but this video is great! And Tales from the Borderlands is the best story in the series thus far! Really looking forward to seeing Rhys and hopefully the others pop up in Borderlands 3!

What a brilliant video, can't believe it's took me 6 months to find this since I've be raving about this game since I played it in 2017. Even though I don't agree with you on a lot of your views on the other borderlands games I get where your'e coming from, and you might be glad to hear Anthony Burch will not be returning to write BL3 so there's hope that you may enjoy the writing in this one more.

I feel like Fiona’s most important choices are about the people around her. You can play her as someone who doesn’t really care for the people she doesn’t already know and just lets them die, or someone who gets over her own prejudices towards the new people she meets and chooses to save their lives

God i hate how Bl3 just screwed the development of the characters up and just forgot about the questions it set up from tales. They did Rhys and Fiona dirty man.

The walking Dead season 1, The Wolf among Us and tales from the borderlands are easily the three best things telltale games ever made.

I powered through this game in one night from 8pm to 4am and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience. I genuinely thought I was high when the giant robot battle happened. I just love this game so much and am glad to be seeing someone do it justice. (also don't be talking shit about Tiny Tina, the best character behind Jack)

Great vid it deserves more views Even if i dont agree with your opinion on the main borderlands games i loooooved it and 100% agree on your analysis on Tales

your content is incredible man, just watched your hitman video and this back to back, you really deserve more subs!

This video was brilliant. Thank you

Such a fulfilling game on every level. It really helped get me through a hard time on my play through. It breaks my heart that it was removed from digital storefronts.

An incredible review for an incredible game! Subscribed!

I couldnt not disagree more on your opinion on the BL series. But I could not agree more on your opinion on Tales. I wish one day for a second season :(

Tales from the Borderlands is an absolutely incredible game, such an awesome fun cast of characters and excellent story

Dishonored, firewatch, bioshock and now this. Somehow you're covering all my favourite games :)

Honestly this is probably one of my favorite games. It's FAR from perfect and I've played countless "better looking" and "better working" games that also have a deep and meaningful story which sticks with you for a long long time, but somehow when I think about incredible/unforgettable games Tales is always on the back of my mind. It's a shame it's not nearly as known as other Telltale titles.

Amazing video man! Well done!

Man you deserve so many more subscribers

Excellent video!

Great video (And greeting from 2021)! Seeing this and remembering this game after all this time makes me even sadder about what became of Rhys and the writing. Kinda wish the main games never touched these characters honestly, it's just...not the same, the shlooty game doesn't gel with this, and seeing the writing take a predictable nosedive because Borderlands the shloot will always rely on dumb memes instead of actual writing (And actively make the choice to CUT an important scene relating to an important character) do nothing with characters from this, and only flanderize them is...sad. Some things are better left alone. This was the best story ever told In Borderlands history (Saying this as a dumb Borderland lore diver) and one of the best if not the best Telltale ever made.

this review is the greatest thing i ever seen

I will never get of over the fact that in BOTH of the following games, Rhys, the businessman who was done adventuring and just wanted to start Atlas back up again, plays a role in the story. Meanwhile Fiona, the person who was trained by athena to be a VAULT HUNTER, is not even shown in-game.

Catch-A-Ride Space Cowboy!

great video mate

i played this game on the 360, i liked it, it was a fun game but the problem was that there were parts where it lagged like crazy. i remember there being some dome or ice part where my frames went down to 1 frame every couple of seconds, it was insanely slow

TFTBL is so nostalgic to me and I love it

I remember experiencing this for the first time. Wish I could do it again.

Just discovered your channel. I am baffled as to how you have so little subscribers!

I am so glad there's another person that believes that THIS is the best Telltale game (with TWAU and most of the first two seasons of TWD being tied for very close second place). I also think it's the best Borderlands game, despite my overwhelming love for BL2. The spork scene is one of my favourite scenes in games ever :D

Just found out they’re making a fucking sequel two minutes ago. I played The Wolf Among Us and Tales From The Borderlands last year. TWAU and TFTB are both getting sequels. One this year, the other next year. Edit: Wait in Dying Light that WASNT Troy Baker?? I spent that whole time thinking it was.

ur videos are so good wtf

I always end up coming back this video every few months just because there's not enough analysis videos of this game, when I first played it when it was free on ps plus in 2016 and I didn't know anything about borderlands I loved this game cried when scooter died and loader botand have replayed it multiple times every year, most of my friends dont like telltale games but I got one of my friends to play this game with me recently he was rhys I was fiona and he loved it said it was one of the best games he's played and he's played a lot of games

i like this games style borderlands could blend both styles cuz i often got bored of trekking through wasteland this kept me on my toes an really showed the charm of the franchise i was laughing all through episode 3 im on

So... after over two years of Telltale being dead we finally have another Wolf in pre-production. Who knows, maybe Tales will finally get the second season? And I wonder if anyone still would read this comment after such a long time.

you make a good point about certain parts feeling disconnected from each with account of the players choices. Likely it was cause TellTale doesn't work on all the episodes simultaneously, only one at a time and it wasn't planned out properly with like four-five month gaps between each episode. Now the new Telltale will be working on things simultaneously and will be less chunks of time.

This needs more views ✨✨✨

So a few things. This video was really enjoyable, and I do enjoy this video however I want to ask some unrelated questions. First off could you ever foresee making a discord if you ever get a large audience? Finally what sort of game reviewers and critics do you listen to and have you ever heard of MisterCaption?

Personally Season 4 of the Walking Dead and Batman Season 2 are my two favorite series from Telltale buuuuuttt if there was a third it'd definitely be Borderlands. I love all the different choices throughout the game, its by far the funniest of telltales games, has the best actions, it made me like Borderlands despite not liking the mainline games, and overall just a good solid game I'd give it either a 8.5 or 9 out of 10.

this game was absolutely fantastic

Maybe I am late, but I just want to say that I was looking for someone who thinks Tales from the borderlands is really underrated game. And I must say that I take it even as the best game ever. And TFTB was the first game from Borderlands series I played and I didn't even knew who handsome Jack is. But I still took it as second best game (after Life is strange) but I gave Borderlands series chance, because I wanted to know more about the characters and the world. After finishing BL2 I loved Jack even more in TFTB. So that was the reason why I put TFTB before LIS.

Picked up tales from the borderla ds a few days ago as I never played it cuz i thought it was ridiculous the concept of a borderlands game that was strictly role playing and not a looter shooter really, an i have to say that im ultimately upset for never giving it a chance originaly, but im also happy that in a sense i saved the experience for later cuz ive only played to ep4 but I love it. Its got great story and its hilarious, it made me laugh more than any of the main games and i consider the bl franchise one of my favorites specifically cuz of the humour, an this amplifies it 10×. its like a borderlands movie or interactive series on netflix and its amazing I hate that there wont be any more borderlands from tale tell now tho 😢

Rest in Peace to this man who played the new tales 😭😭😭😭 I hope new telltale buys that back

Underrated gem 💎

So I had played a few of telltales games, walking dead and wolf Among us, back when they were still making games, and thought they were awesome. Wasn't until recently I went and bought every one of their games, except Minecraft, and started my playthrough of each game, I've enjoyed them all immensely, but just finished Tales from the Borderlands and while playing episode two I said to myself, this has to be Telltales best game and just like you, when I heard it was being made, I thought it was the dumbest idea id ever heard, so happy I was wrong and gave it a chance. And just like Fiona says at the end of the game " I'm sad it's over". Obviously Telltale had learned quite a bit as time went on, it really shows from the first episode of the walking dead to Tales from the Borderlands. I could only imagine what their next game would look like if they were still going. I hope they come back, even if it's a small team and take their time making a single game at a time.

Just saw the gameplay and I wouldn't put it near Walking Dead or Wolf Among Us, but I really enjoyed it. It would be great if a season 2 came along, I want to see if Sasha or Fiona actually become a thing with Rhys (lots of flirting especially with the first, and very little pay off), although the main storyline does have a fulfilling closure. Btw, the intros and OST are probably the best of all Telltale Games.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Yeah so the fall of Helios is canon in borderlands 2 dlc now

Hi, I wanted to know that can i understand and enjoy tales from borderlands if i have never played the borderland games ? N same for expanse if i have never watched the series ? Thanks in advance❤

i kinda wish the jack ai had more screen time. he jsut kinda shows up when he feels like it. i was also very hesitant on buying this game. i don't like borderlands i'm not a looter shooter guy. then i saw someone stream episode 2 and bought it when it finished [ which is what i would do with episodic games] and loved it. it's jsut to bad i started having issues running telltlae's stuff around the time of batman as i really wanted to play that series as i heard it was very good.

0:05 anyone know the name of the song? I recognize it but I can quite remember where it came from

Good news my dude telltale is back

Guess I missed that part in Borderlands 3 where Fiona even showed up

I can't completely argue against what you said about the main series Borderlands games writing. It is very hit and miss, but there is a genuinely intriguing story that is largely in the background that you learn yourself through side quests and audio logs. Tales From the Borderlands and The Pre-Sequel did so much heavy lifting in the narrative and they're the two games that are sadly ignored. But there is a decent story to be found across the BL1, TPS, BL2 and Tales with so much potential to be taken in future games. Or, at least, there was until Borderlands 3's writers decided to crank the awful writing up to 11.

Thank god telltale is back now!

It’s too bad Atlas would go on to make relatively shitty weapons, it’s the only real moral brand other than Jakobs

My buddie and I share play the tell tale games and by far we enjoyed this one the most. And we fucking loved batman. The first episode of this one had like three episodes worth of enjoyment lol.

this with the wolf among us, was Telltales best games followed very closely by the walking dead season1, I also loved the Batman games.

I like to know, what is your opinion on RPG games in general including best masterpieces like Witcher 3 and worst pieces like ME Andromeda

Nearly 3 years later, and this video still doesn't have nearly as many views it deserves On a side note, I was really surprised by your pure hatred for Borderlands 2. I know it's not for everyone, but I love the Borderlands series, and I think it offers a little something for most types of players. Was really taken aback by how much you hate most of of the series

Tales of the borderlands, is the best telltale game. It deserves a season two! This game really changed my life. And got me into borderlands! I really hope they make a second two!

on one hand i wish fiona and sasha showed up in borderlands 3 but after what they did to vaughn im not entirely sure i trust gearbox with any more tales characters. god this video rocks though

1.The wolf among us 2.tapes from the borderlands 3.batman enemy within 4.the walking dead S1 5.Batman telltale series 6 walking dead final season 7.walking dead S2 8.walking dead A new frontier 9.Guardians of the galaxy telltale series 10.game of thrones telltale series 11.walking dead michonne 12.minecraft story mode S2 13.minecraft story mode S1

For me, it’s between tales from the borderlands and the wolf among us for best tell tale game. Yes walking dead is amazing. Yes season 1 and 2 are spectacular in their own rights with season 1 being a true storytelling masterpiece. I just like TWAU and TFTBL just a little bit more.

Robot ex machina lol. Machine from the machine

this is my favourite teltale as it has comedy

I don't know if it's just my me imagining things, but not only has this new borderlands 2 DLC introduced a few of the tales characters into the main series, but they seem to have toned down the stupid humour and gone for writing that's a little more subtle. Looks like Tales has rubbed off on Gearbox

You and 1.3% of players said you liked another. Big oof. This was the video i needed after that cliffhanger of an ending. Wondering If we will atleast Get a closure to the game If not a season 2

One of my favorite tell tale games. But i am a borderlands nerd

It's so unfortunate that Telltale wasn't able to write the second game, could've been so much better if they we're able to without Randy Pitchford getting In the way.

They git tge style of the games in this

Even to this day I still struggle to choose between Tales From the Borderlands and Batman: the Enemy Within. Both are such good games and stories.

Tales from the borderlands and wolf among us are the best i played

This is excellent. I literally agree with all of it

If you played a sonic game, all I’m saying is you’ll be able to tell Kyle Crane isn’t voiced by the same guy as Rhys, that’s just a thing tho

Just a shame how bl3 screwed all characters over undoing all in tftbl ...
