Not quite.

>laura bailey
>not funny

Its easily TT's best game. Too bad its also their worse performing game as well, so S2 never.

>kino
fuck this board

why don't you actually post a game that does this first op

>troy baker as male hero
>laura bailey as female love interest
every god damn time
unions were a fucking mistake

What the fuck does it even mean at this point. Everything is "kino"

Sup Forums please leave

Zero expectations

They did it with a simple trick it’s not a game

>TT
>game
No.

The universe had to balance the fact that the Game of Thrones game was unmitigated garbage by making the Borderlands one pure joy which single-handedly fixed the setting.

inb4 the next meme people latch onto get you salty

it's horrible, heard a lot of praise from retards such as yourself and oh boy does this suck ass through a garden hose.

every single telltale """""game"""" is garbage

Why bother calling this shitfest a game? I mean, it’s good in terms of animated film, but as a game? LiS has more interactivity than this. None of your decisions are actually matter, there’s only one ending, like, what the fuck? I swear, the only talking simulator that you can actually call a game is L.A. Noire, while Telltale “games” are the furthest of the branch.

>None of your decisions are actually matter
This is one of the few TT games where your choices actually do matter.

How? I’ve completed it, than watched if there’s any other endings and there were none. If there’s some small differences throughout the game it doesn’t really make it up to what I just described.

All of your choices lead into the final fight.
If you're an asshole, no one will help you

I guess the moral of this game is asshole or not, you will end up in the fucking magical box anyway.

>Why bother calling this shitfest a game?
Bananas aren't fruits either, but if you go around making a point out of correcting people who refer to it incorrectly they're going to think you're pedantic, not smart

It doesn't mean anything, for the exact reason you just stated. I could make a sandwich and post it on reddit and have some dipshit call it kino. And I don't even make very good sandwiches.

why does the bitch on the left got t-rex arms

Eh, I’m not even against being called pedantic, I just think the games are shit (as games, not movies)

you can thank /ourguy/ tony burch for that

Tales had a surprising amount of effort put into it. I'm not a huge fan of Borderlands, so I didn't have high expectations, but the Telltale formula actually let them play around with over-the-top setting beyond shooting and looting.

I also appreciated how the characters weren't completely serious or completely zany. They all had their distinctive quirks and character dynamics that they could have fun with, but enough genuine personality that I could actually care if something dramatic happened.

Oh and the musical intros were great.

I think it's a real shame that we got so many Walking Dead spin-offs and lackluster sequels instead of a solid continuation of TFTB.

I don't know if it'd be half as good at this point, but it's one of the few Telltale follow-ups I would have gotten really excited over at this point.

I hate women in general but Laura Bailey is not only funny but hot

>get sad when vasquez dies so quickly
>then this happens

Fuck yes more Vasquez shenanigans. The Hyperion characters are better than the Pandoran characters in every single way.

The problem is two-fold:
First and foremost, pointing out that what Telltale makes is strictly not a videogame [something I'm not sure I agree with but let's just go on for the sake of the argument] is only really of any relevance to the discussion if you're using that fact as grounds to argue for the ban of such discussion on Sup Forums. Which I from the get go don't see as a successful endeavor since I highly doubt the mods or Hiro are going to create a "cinematic vidya" board and there isn't any other board where discussion of "interactive stories" such as these fit nearly as neatly as it does here.

Second, there's really no better word you can use to address these things that doesn't sound dumb:

>hey Sup Forums let's talk about Telltale games
>They're not games

>hey Sup Forums let's talk about Telltale products
>"Products"? Who says that, you obvious shill, go away

>hey Sup Forums let's talk about Telltale interactive virtual fiction
>Was it autism?

I think the main merit of the game is dialing the extremes of the setting way down. Pandora is suddenly no longer populated exclusively by bandits or psychopaths with a life expectancy of twelve minutes. Hyperion is no longer the eternal punchline for the Handsome Jack's joke and now vaguely looks like a company you can survive working for. The focus when it comes to Vault Hunters is more on them doing battle with bandit lords or each other and less grinding for new guns every ten seconds. And Handsome Jack's characterization actually WORKS, outside of the final episode where he starts by acting like an antagonistic cunt for no reason whatsoever, EVEN for his usual standards.

Well it helps if the game is comfy

I liked Fiona and Sasha, but I found Rhys and Vaughn more fun as a duo in general because they were the two that were taken completely out of their comfort zone and were basically winging everything in a hostile environment that they barely understood.

>Oh and the musical intros were great.
BACK TO THE TOP

I really couldn't stomach Sasha, and the romance subplot between her and Rhys seemed terribly forced and something I wanted to undermine at every possible turn. She had none of her sister's character or presence, and felt like a very obvious third wheel through the entire thing

>What the fuck does it even mean at this point.
"Good." I guess.

Softly.

It's used in jokes a lot so you need context to understand what they're getting at, I'm sorry user but this requires a level of social nuance above that of the average autist.

They only let Burch write one scene.

Eh, I liked her well enough. She was definitely more of a straight man of the group than a stand-out hilarious character, but I liked how her moments with Rhys played out.

...

The whole bit with them trying to simultaneously take out the two guards and Rhys trying to play off that that he couldn't even knock his guy over killed me.

You’re really making an elephant out of a fly here, mate. And even then, my point was made toward Telltale itself, that they are shit at making video games, I haven’t talked about how you need to pronounce their games.

They are all pressed back from a turbo acceleration

I think Borderlands worked well with Telltale's style of "branching" because not every choice was a dramatic life or death decision.

A lot of the time the only major difference between choices was how a situation would play out in a new comedic way. So even if the ultimate outcome was the same it was entertaining finding new jokes and shifting character dynamics.

Whereas a lot of the more serious Telltale games try to do what the first season of Walking Dead did, and try to make you feel guilty and depressed over certain decisions where it's increasingly obvious that you had no control over the situation. Which is why Game of Thrones got so frustrating for me at times. It was several hours of getting kicked into the dirt and blamed for a choice that didn't change anything in the end.

>Which is why Game of Thrones got so frustrating for me at times. It was several hours of getting kicked into the dirt and blamed for a choice that didn't change anything in the end.
>It was several hours of getting kicked into the dirt
By the time I came back from the Whitehill castle or whatever the rival family was called and found out what little success I had managed to gather after the FOUR previous episodes of complete misery had been promptly undone on a whim, I promptly uninstalled the game in disgust. What a miserable experience that one was.
That said, that rigidity from Telltale's part is what allowed me to have great fun screaming at Baron Whitehill or whatever the hell he was called to just stop being a little bitch and kill my little brother already, since I knew the game would never let him actually carry his threat through.

>tfw you actually like Borderlands
>tfw you liked borderlands 2 more than 1, making you essentially the pariah of pariahs

At least I'm not trying to convince or bait anyone else with my anathema. six.

Imagine if you could live your life with Telltale plot immunity. Flip yourself out of unimportant windows, rip off stranger's dicks. Rob inconsequential assholes. You'd be the Morgoth of extra-hunting. As long as you always made sure there was absolutely no narrative-based drive to kill you, or a way for the story to turn on your actions you'd be a GOD

Thank god he's dead

This game is alright. Some parts of it were better than others. The final act sucks major ass though. I give it 7/10

They made something unique instead of some stupid mainstream shit. Like Game of TOilets... fucking stupid...

It never ceases to amaze me how this game is funnier than all the other Borderlands games combined. And they took care to craft that sense of style that the series pretended it had from their fun intros.

This is unironically the best telltale game. they took the shitty meme universe of borderlands and made it into something funny and endearing

Why is it amazing? Just hire decent writers and not tumblr tier fanboys and you'll be fine

It's amazing because three games of giant AAA budgets, well I guess 2 because Pre-Sequel seemed like a cheaper cash-in, and they didn't have any good writers.

>decent writers
>not tumblr tier fanboys
Anthony Burch did some of the writing. Just saying.

Hi.

Eeeh I hate Borderlands and its nu-male writing but this one was pretty good, not outstanding though

fucking incels I swear

>game sets up an interesting premise as you have the chance to play a young lord thrust into a position of leadership after his family is destroyed, maybe being forced to make brutal choices along the way
>it was just a cheap bait and switch

Overrated. you only think it's good because the last moments in the last episode were great, but everything in middle was mediocre typical TT trash.

but the last was episode was trash

Not a game. Still the best thing to come out of TT.

>so S2 never.
say it ain't so
SAY IT AIN'T SO!

Man, this game is really good. The intro sequences to each chapter are pure fucking kino

For the uninitiated: youtube.com/watch?v=zVc6L1fejhg

go to bed cia

>waaah im so original in my opinion

>Playing any TT game past Walking Dead season 1
And even that is barely a game.

It's probably for the best. Look at what happened to TWD. Better have it be short and sweet than have a bunch of shitty sequels until the series goes out with a whimper.

why the fuck have i just started seeing this word within the past few months

>twd
Is third season any good at all? Honestly, I used to be super invested in the series but I lost all interest when I saw a screeenshot of Clem with dyke haircut.

Sup Forums is seeping in

>GoT season 2 never ever
I enjoyed it even if nothing I did mattered in the end.

>is third season any good.
No. I'm willing to say that it does some things okay, but overall it's extremely forgettable. And if Clem is what you're invested in, you're in for a sore disappointment. If they gave her character a different name and face, you wouldn't for a second think that she reminds you of Clem in any way.

lol, what a potato head

Didn't he only write like two scenes?
I know one was a shitty scene with two guards that is really obviously his work.

>sfm porn of cersei

never cared for asoiaf but i got something out of them

>kino
Why do retards keep using this on video games? It doesn't work that way

Games can be cinematic. It's what the word implies, in this case anyway -

>it does some things okay
>implying implications

Post Anthony Burch a child could write comedy kino.

That's bro, bro.

You all hinted Rhys having feelings for Fiona in the end, right?
Right?

Sure it does. It's just not enough to redeem the season in any meaningful way.
Okay:
>coherent plot, unlike season 2 where things just randomly happen and characters completely forget where they said they were going the previous episode, this season clearly had a story outline the writers stuck to. There are no major plot holes or characters having amnesia. The story flows logically from point A to point B to point C
>characters treat you differently depending on your choices. Nothing revolutionary, it's TWD S1 tier where Kenny and Lilly are either cool with you or hate you, but it's still miles ahead of S2 where no matter how much of a cunt you are everyone forgets about it the next day and always gives you the exact same line of dialogue
>a determinant character from episode 2 can actually survive until the end, and even has a small character arc afterwards, despite the fact that you have to jump through hoops to keep them alive
>the ending you get is determined by choices you made through multiple episodes instead of the final "choose character A or B" choice. It's a bit arbitrary and weird, but it's a step in the right direction.
Here's what's shit though:
>bland and forgettable cast of characters to compliment the bland art style they went with
>some cameo characters are blatant fanservice and don't justify their presence in the game at all, Clem included. Especially Clem.
>Clementine's character is unrecognizable, her story is a half-assed afterthought that only exists to attempt to justify her being there, and it fails to do that. What it does though is shit over everything you did with her in S1 and S2
>cringey dialogue
>heavy railroading, while the point I made about characters treating you differently depending on how you treat them stands, they will still do what the story deems that they have to do, kind of like how Lillyfags got btfo is S1
>no puzzles or any real gameplay
>little to no branching dialogue

Because you're new. The word came from Sup Forums a long time ago.

Sasha

The death of scooter and the Hyperion Base getting blown up better be cannon for Borderlands 3.

It probably will but I hope they get someone as good as Jack to be the main antagonist

Shame what Burch did to it.

>game
