Tales from Borderlands

Just announced at VGX, this is a new episodic series from Telltale but set in Gearbox's Borderlands universe. Coming 2014, expect more news shortly

Is it wrong that I'm way more interested in this spin-off by a different developer already than the actual Borderlands games by the original creator of the games?

[Brad]

Yes it is wrong! Borderlands is fantastic! Play with friends though as it's a rubbish single player experience.

[Guts]

Yeah, I tried the first game (single player) when it was free on PS Plus but got totally bored quite quickly (same couple of enemies, same brown desert) and deleted it. I guess the second one is much better but I'm just not generally interested in the type of "shoot 'em and loot 'em" gameplay that it focuses on. Plus all those billions of guns give me anxiety.

I'd be up for this, never could get Borderlands' grindy antics, but I really liked the characters and setting.

Borderlands was dull dull dull. The actual game falls on its arse pretty fast as it's so badly designed. Love the setting and characters like the evil one said though. This could be good.

Well i made the same assumptions about Borderlands & after about 3 hrs of play I sold it on here asap.
Then a year later i bought it again as Fader persuaded me to give it a proper bashing. Turns out he was right. I hadn't skated with it long enough!! .

Both are great games. The weapon variety is mahoosive & their cruelty is funny as hell, & the areas get more diverse as you get further in. It really felt like a 1st person Phantasy Star Online to me, & i remember putting 100's of hrs into PSO 1 & 2 .

I'm chuffed about this version & the upcoming Vita release of Borderlands 2, which I'm really hyped for

Not at all. Borderlands 2 falls flat after the first, is far more tedious with point A to B setups, and even the attempt of "plot" was garbage.

I'm sure someone will tell me to play more of it, well, after playing 80 hours of it --mostly in co-op (with friends who also share the same sentiments)-- I feel like I can be negative about it.

I doubt even Telltale can save something which is already dead, but I'll keep an eye on it come release...

Playing nets you loot for the other games

Preview write up that sounds fairly promising

Skim reading while eating, thought this thread was called "Tales from Bordersdown", sadly not.

Anyway, back on topic....

A game where you have to win the internet via arguing on forums and proving your opinions is better than everyone else.
