However, it does shed some light at the state of gun manufacturer Hyperion pre- Borderlands 2 and paint Jack in a different light before he became all psycho in part 2. The gameplay is rote and not as impactful as the second game. The bastard child of the Borderlands saga.
Don’t worry, it’s also in the recap video below. So there’s nothing wrong in watching a recap of the game and in fact, you should because there are characters and important plot points that will carry over to Borderlands 3.Īlso, this is that game where we get a scene of everyone gets into a finger-gun fight. Look, I don’t blame you if you call yourself a Borderlands fan but never played Tales of the Borderlands. We also get a dose of memorable side characters like Sir Hammerlock, Ellie, and Tiny Tina, all thanks to the comedic and serious tone-balanced writing of one Anthony Burch. We also meet the heroes and heroines from the first game who are NPCs who give you missions. This time we’re introduced to a more colourful cast of characters spearheaded by the belo- I mean absolutely hated, Handsome Jack. A couple things Jack had done before the events of the pre-sequel include: Orchestrating most if not all of the major events that occurred in borderlands 1 through Angel, using the seemingly useless (to the vault hunters) vault to construct a weapon that had no purpose on Helios (as Tassiter himself said that Hyperion allowed Jack to build Helios to observe Pandora, for whatever reason. Borderlands 2 promised those things, delivered them, and went a bit further. More guns, shinier graphics, and a less textbook plot. Or at least prevent bad guys from getting access to what could destroy the crappy planet we live on.Įither way, you get to get missions delivered by folks like Scooter (Catch A Ride!) and Helena Pierce (who made her debut in the very first Borderlands trailer), and fight a giant space vagina monster with tentacles as the last boss. Ah, good times.īasically, the first Borderlands implemented the well-known formula of asking the players to find three macguffins in order to save the world. It’s where we first we meet Claptrap, learn about skags, and kill a lot of bandits and Crimson Raider soldiers. So let’s point you to the right direction so you can get the Cliff’s Notes version of the backstory (via oboeshoesgame) BorderlandsĪh yes, the OG looter shooter. Having said that, having a “3” in your title means that there’s going to be some history to unpack. Borderlands 3 director Paul Sage told us that part 3 will be accommodating to newcomers.
