I think its important to explain to those who don't know why they made the decision to kill off Scooter in a side game. Scooters' voice actor Mikey Neumann was a writer/producer for all Borderlands games and various other side projects. However he started facing possibly terminal medical issues during the early stages of Borderlands 3s writing and eventually decided to leave Gearbox and Borderlands to focus on getting better. Before he left Gearbox however he was involved in the making of Tales and decided that it was better for the iconic charcter Scooter to have a proper send off instead of possibly getting written out without closure if Mikey were to pass. So it was decided that Scooter would catch his final ride in episode 4. Mikey is still alive and working on other projects outside of Gearbox but has stated that he cant do the Scooter voice anymore due to his illness.
Still mad about it, but I understand now I didn't know that. Because he was my favorite character and they even killed another character I liked in another game from borderlands. So I love the game but damn
You complimenting all the foreshadowing with Loader Bot being the Stranger is funny because the writers of 1-3 had no idea who the stranger was and it was only written to be Loader Bot in 5. So yes, him saying "wait Loader Bots cant do that" was a total coincidence. It shows to why this game being so good is a miracle.
Loader boat being the stranger is definitely one of the best reveals that we've ever gotten,there's a lot of expectations and it actually lives up to the hype. The fact that they didn't plan that from the beginning and they manage to make everything come full circle is even more impressive
Ah, the beauty of media literacy. When the story itself gives us the tools to embrace its strength and interpret things for ourselves, beyond the people who created it. Ain't that a magical thing
I'm admittedly sad you went the route that just blows past Athena and Janey's reveal in Hollow Springs, if only because it has some of the BEST bits in the second chapter, with Athena having to play dumb in front of Janey due to her insisting that she's retired from Vault Hunting, to the point where it's possible for Fiona to steal Athena's Shield when you leave. Adjusts the sequence in Chapter 3 as well, as Athena has to break into the car in order to get her shield back first, and ties in nicely with the reveal that Athena's ENTIRELY just saving money up so that she can pay for her wedding with Janey.
This honestly is one of my favorite stories in gaming the humor is almost always a hit it takes itself seriously when it needs to feels like there's real stakes the characters are all really well written just a good game and story
fun fact!! In the Pre-Sequel, theres a side quest with Professor Nakayama where you sorta help/see him make the AI Jack prototype! I forget the exact details but Nakayama was so obsessed with Jack that he wanted to keep his memory alive forever so to speak. So AI Jack has all of normal Jack's memories up until the 2nd game. So he still believes Angel is alive, until he goes through Hyperion's database and finds out shes dead :(
when we got introduced to the BL3 Vault hunters with just the images of them, i honestly though Fl4k was gonna be Loaderbot having become a vault hunter by choice was a little disappointed when i found out he was an age old libary bot who decided to become a hunter
38:38 worth mentioning here, Jack mentions that Angel betrayed him, even though the conversation you have over her photo earlier suggests Jack doesn't know about what happened in BL2. You get the choice to press him on that, and he mentions that he only found out about what happened once he uploaded himself into Helios and had access to the Helios database. Such a fascinating detail that's so easily missed... and maybe one of the most gut-wrenching parts of this scene if you go down this dialogue path. Again, the absolute passion this crew was working with...
This was the first game I platinumed (which isn't anything to brag about) and what got me into Borderlands. The game was awesome and Loader Bot is one of my favorite characters in the series
God i miss these style of games. Just sitting back and watching a play through of this, walking dead, batman telltale and wolf among us was just an experience i can't even describe. Good times. Loved the plot twists of these games too!
This honestly is the best Telltale game to me. Before trying it, i would have picked The Walking Dead Season 1 or The Wolf Among us, but after playing Tales From The Borderlands, which is the very last Telltale game i played, it's for sure my number 1. I'm not sure if it's the perfect mix of humor and seriousness, or something else that clicked for me, but it did. Can't even understand how this game fell short of other peoples expectations.
By the gameplay functions Loader Bot actually uses the nasty surprise. The grenades attack multiple targets. Honestly, easily missed because the grenades use the same model.
Great game, sadly rather hard to play now-a-days. been pulled from pretty much every digital market place, so the only way to play it is with second hand physical copies. or piracy.
Mordecai is actually using the Trespasser from the animal rights side quest in the base game of bl2. He wouldn't have the Amigo Sincero since thats given to him by brick in the Commander Lilith DLC which takes place after the fall of Helios. Its an understandable mixup though because the Amigo Sincero is just the Trespasser but instead of rare its legendary and it has much better damage and fire rate. They both share the same gimmick of ingoring shields and just damaging the healthbar, which makes them useful for certain bosses.
I've been greatly looking forward to this video ever since you teased it in the BL2 video. Tales is not only my favorite Borderlands game (And mind you, I love the FPS games), it's one of my favorite games of all time, and my favorite TTG game. All the music choices are so good, the characters are amazingly well written, and it makes me even more bitter at BL3 for ruining Rhys and Vaughn each time I watch a video on it.
Could you do Jurassic Park The Game, that's my favourite TellTale game, but unfortunately you can't get it online anymore and the only way to play it physically is with the Xbox 360 disk version.
They should totally rebooted make it more until dawn when it's choices by keep the story the same I have a lot of ideas how they can remake this and make it better one of these ideas is having items so dialogue changes and can do different things
I haven't watched the video yet, but I just want to say, that Tales from the Borderlands is my favourite game of all time, so I really hope that people who haven't played it yet, give it a chance. And the people who played it and liked it and want to play more... Then do not touch the Garbage that New Tales is. It's better to ignore it's existence. Instead I recommend played other peak games from Telltale, like The wolf among us, The Batman and many others.
GamingWins: Interesting how the least human of us displays the most humanity. I wonder what that says about us? TH-cam: Immediately throws up an ad for Palestine support. Me: Skips it because it's the 500th one, and by this point it's exhausting, but at the same time nowhere near as exhausting as it must be for literally every civilian caught up in the middle of that war. Also Me, Back to Video: Yeah, I wonder what that says about us?
Now if only Borderlands 3 had actually capitalized on any of the good story telling this game had on offer... shame really. oh what could have been. :/
I don't think she liked being a vault hunters but her sister Sasha might be into it I just hope there is little connection to new tales from the borderlands in borderlands 4 not everything cuz it's best to not talk about that game

Easily the most underrated Telltale game. Shame it’s almost always overshadowed by The Walking Dead and and The Wolf Among Us
Jack's "you're the only one running pal, i can flyyyy" reminds me of a budy of mine who was the only one in our dnd session with wings
My immediate thought when I noticed the Aasimar race mod has them float instead of run when traveling
Man that sent me. Just the delivery with the visual, it was legitimately hilarious.
Troy being such a chameleon with his voice only gives further proof to the theory that everything in the universe is voiced by Troy Baker.

I think that Tales from the Borderlands 2 will be a true test to your optimism lol

We're team Zaford, aren't we voice in me head.

was a little disappointed when i found out he was an age old libary bot who decided to become a hunter
The fact you are doing Critical role references makes me so happy
15:58 I bet she gave him the 'Creamer'. Yeah, it's a unique missile launcher from BL2, don't resply with 'phrasing'
38:38 worth mentioning here, Jack mentions that Angel betrayed him, even though the conversation you have over her photo earlier suggests Jack doesn't know about what happened in BL2.

"Bringing all our characters together is tight, wait-"
Yeah, you'd think it would be hard, but it's actually super easy, barely an inconvenience!
31:27 best bit in this game 😂😂
God i miss these style of games. Just sitting back and watching a play through of this, walking dead, batman telltale and wolf among us was just an experience i can't even describe. Good times.
Loved the plot twists of these games too!
Not me just realizing Patrick Warburton voiced a character in tales from the borderlands 3:23
This honestly is the best Telltale game to me. Before trying it, i would have picked The Walking Dead Season 1 or The Wolf Among us, but after playing Tales From The Borderlands, which is the very last Telltale game i played, it's for sure my number 1.

I will never forget little middle-school me watching the beginning of the final episode, with Retrograde playing. That blew my mind.
This is what I been waiting for this is what got me into the borderlands series
"Awful existence of being a janitor?" No-No, he's got a point.
And then they made New Tales, wish I never played it
The moment you mentioned Jack for the first time in the video, I remembered the Handsome Jack is to Rhys as Johnny Silverhand is to V.
By the gameplay functions Loader Bot actually uses the nasty surprise. The grenades attack multiple targets. Honestly, easily missed because the grenades use the same model.
Allow me to ask for this yet again, DO THE TELLTALE SAM & MAX GAMES
this is my favourite Borderlands game, and Bro-derbot is the best character. Hard to believe it's 10 years old this year.
31:25 was my favorite joke in the game. Made me laugh so hard. One of my favorite video games of all time and peak early Telltale imo
MINECRAFT STORY MODE NEXT????
If you like Telltale, then you might like Minecraft story mode. It's for a younger demographic, but it's still a good game
Great game, sadly rather hard to play now-a-days. been pulled from pretty much every digital market place, so the only way to play it is with second hand physical copies. or piracy.
@@Chernobog1455 that's a random game to pull from everywhere... Was it some license stuff that wasn't worked out with Microsoft???
@@nickgotvyak5890 the story i heard was telltale broken an NDA and lost the license completely.
This is crazy timing. I literally just replayed and finished the whole game last night! Anyways, keep up the great work. Love your vids

I have heard that Pink is in Borderlands 4. If she's not a siren, I will fucking riot.
Funny enough it’s my all time favorite Borderlands game behind Borderlands 2
I still stand by that these two games is where the franchise peaked
Did you check out Sam and Max: Devil’s playhouse/Save the World, yet? That’s also a telltale game.
I hadn't played 2 or Pre-Seq but was still so into this; it had no right to be so good!
I just finished this game for the first time, and it is the funniest game I've ever played.
16:20 Except... They literally did though. The very first trailer and episode 1 trailer for the game both showed Jack returning.
Catch a ride 🫡🥹
I've been greatly looking forward to this video ever since you teased it in the BL2 video. Tales is not only my favorite Borderlands game (And mind you, I love the FPS games), it's one of my favorite games of all time, and my favorite TTG game.

THIS IS A MASSIVE WIN!
by the end Rhyss
was Jack reincarnated
Loving the Crit Role references!
When was the first time I played this? I played it day one. I was obsessed with Borderlands and couldn't wait when this was announced.
i loved this game shame we never got a sequel to this
4th video to ask for: Everything Great About: Soma
Hey gamingwins I’m back good work on the video loved this one but still on the hunt for u to do persona 5 keep up with the videos my friend
Can you please do game of thrones telltale PLEASE!! It's so underrated!!
YESSSS ABOUT TIME IVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS
Could you do Jurassic Park The Game, that's my favourite TellTale game, but unfortunately you can't get it online anymore and the only way to play it physically is with the Xbox 360 disk version.
0:53 zero sum also means that the game has to have a winner and a loser. There is no coexisting
I don’t know about you guys, but I think it’d be awesome. If game wins did game win on a quiet Place the road ahead.
I will remember this 4:17 🥲
Out of all the telltale games its my favorite followed my MC and then S1 walking dead
This is literally my autism game.
They should totally rebooted make it more until dawn when it's choices by keep the story the same I have a lot of ideas how they can remake this and make it better one of these ideas is having items so dialogue changes and can do different things
this game is very good
FINALLY HE DID IT
Waiting for Batman enemy begins 👀

It's NOT New Tales From The Borderlands!
GamingWins: Interesting how the least human of us displays the most humanity. I wonder what that says about us?
TH-cam: Immediately throws up an ad for Palestine support.
Me: Skips it because it's the 500th one, and by this point it's exhausting, but at the same time nowhere near as exhausting as it must be for literally every civilian caught up in the middle of that war.
Also Me, Back to Video: Yeah, I wonder what that says about us?
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!
Now if only Borderlands 3 had actually capitalized on any of the good story telling this game had on offer... shame really. oh what could have been. :/
Tell tales games were always amazing.
...Lets ignore TFtB2 mayhaps?
That wasn't telltale funnily enough
@@Cheesecake_666 They tried to be like telltale, and it failed beyond miserably lol
i thought it was but its a reresher to know it wasn't.
Day 385 for asking spec ops:the line
Hoping we get to play as vault hunter Fiona in BD 4.
I don't think she liked being a vault hunters but her sister Sasha might be into it I just hope there is little connection to new tales from the borderlands in borderlands 4 not everything cuz it's best to not talk about that game
@@noahdean9685 Haven't played it but I heard it was very good. I was waiting until it went on gamepass or something.
*shrug*
You're not missing anything skipping Tales from the borderlands 2.
Awful story and worse writing
