I live the borderlands characters they were all really good some of them didn't get great screen time though and some of the skills felt lacklustre like Nisha in my opinion just giving the player aimbot and a fancy screen effect it wasnt much I feel like there could have been more to the skill but was cut for development time sakes
I love the little conversation in tps were Mordecai says to lilith that she doesn't like anyone and Lilith says she likes brick. Brick reponds with boo-ya
What sucks so much about Maya’s death is that not only was she my first ever vault hunter I played as but my mom chose her on the character selection screen because “she’s pretty and looks like she kicks major ass”
No what sucks so much about maya's death was LITERALLY NONE OF HER FRIENDS SHOWING UP AS A RESULT. Zer0 is literally the only person from her crew that shows up and he doesn't say a SINGLE WORD, no haiku mourning his former friend, no quest for vengeance?? ... Oh but he'll bro it up with Rhys and simp for Loreal or whatever the insignificant bitches name is. Axton and Salvador are off hosting a stupid game show or something Gaige is drinking her romantic sorrow for hammerlock away And Krieg has himself isolated, but OF ALL PEOPLE that would drop their personal BS to avenge Maya, IT SHOULD BE HIM. And whats her send off?? A FUCKING PUNCHLINE FROM TANNIS the disrespect is outright DISGUSTING.
I always just assumed Zer0 was a robot of some sort. Robot characters in the franchise all share the trait of having their names spelled with numbers, and Fl4k says that Zer0 seems familiar to him.
Yea I'm right there with you. I always thought it would be pretty cool if he were a robot and the name spelling does suggest this being true, although I doubt gearbox will make it canon :I
Actually if you look at their hands and builds (body size/frame) I'm willing to bet that Zer0 was another archival assistant bot like fl4k. Four fingers, same height, fl4k really only has wider shoulders.
Trying to parse Zer0's origin is to miss the entire point of the character. Theres a reason the robot eye is "Not Can0n" because his origin is not MEANT to be comprehendible. Zer0 is meant to be like his name sake, "nothing" "Null" , whatever you THINK he is, whatever you WANT him to be, he is thematically and canonically *_Not._* He is the living embodiment of a mystery. In a sense hes alot like a Lovecraftian cosmic horror, something you can't and are not supposed to make sense of. He defies understanding. Giving him a concrete backstory would be the WORST possible disservice you could possibly do to the character. (Which given Borderlands 3's track record of insulting character disservice would not surprise me if they actually tried to do just that)
I love when they kill off loved characters in good ways THAT MAKE SENSE. Bl3 did not do that. The only time bl2 killed off a character in a bad way was when we killed wilhelm. But to be fair he wasnt AS big of a character until now. He still was jacks strongest enforcer and he even wiped out new haven. The only way it makes sense for jack to poison him is punishment for failing to kill lillith.
@@uncleharambe632From what I've heard, that whole thing is not entirely canon, or confirmed to be canon. I don't see why it wouldn't be canon. Makes sense that Jack wouldn't make it entirely impossible for the VHs to get the "shield generator", considering he's still needs them in order to attack Sanctuary. But the issue with that is, why was Wilhelm on that train to begin with? He would've been better off at the Bunker protecting Angel and the Vault Key. Why was he on a train protecting a generator that Jack WANTED the VHs to take? Maybe the writers kinda forget to physically include him into the story and decided to give us a quick boss fight with him? Because, he doesn't even get an intro scene. Then again, maybe Jack wanted to make it LOOK like he was really trying to kill you up until that point. Personally, I've always theorised that Angel was secretly using Phaseshift during that boss fight to weaken Wilhelm's cybernetics and weapon systems. Or that the BL2 VHs are just that badass.
@@EdwardNewgate58 Wilhelm wasn't actually protecting the thing. Jack sent him to be killed as part of the plot, knowing that the heroes would take the bait, thinking the thing Wilhelm was "protecting" was something useful. Jack doesn't care about anyone but himself. All other beings are tools to him.
@@EdwardNewgate58 It's simple tactics. It's a valuable generator, so have your top enforcer guarding it. If it had no guards, or even light protection, then the Crimson Raiders would be suspicious of Handsome Jack transporting a hyperion power core unguarded, knowing that Sanctuary used these power cores to protect itself from moonshot barrages. So, you poison wilhelm, install some malware into his cybernetics to weaken him, then have him guard the trapped power core so that the Crimson Raiders think they're striking gold, especially after the Vault Key isn't on the train they'd view a fully charged hyperion power core as something worth taking
I think the reason amara has so many powers it’s more she has creative use of her only real power, the arms, and using specific motions she could have them do special things, may be wrong
I mean, we have been watching lillith train her powers through the games, maya had training but it was limited and she didnt have a whole lot of real world experience to start her vault hunting career with. Amara is a vigilante celebrity before the game starts, shes had her powers and been actively using them for an undetermined amount of time before the game starts. And i kinda agree, the others powerd and vaguely nebulous. Amaras is simple, she is a dnd monk.
@@joedickman3777I agree. Because let's look at like this, from a gameplay POV, usage of abilities will ALWAYS look less impressive that seeing the abilities used in cutscenes or by NPCs. One of my favorite video game memes is how boss characters are unstoppable forces of nature when you're fighting them, yet they're nowhere near as powerful when they become playable. (Looking at you, Magneto in Lego Marvel Superheroes)
Her power Phase trance allows her to project semi physical copies of her body/parts of her body, so yeah she just does more than one thing with her powers
as a dedicated Wilhelm main I've always found Wilhelm very goofy, since at launch he was actually the game's dedicated support, as fully speccing into his red tree enables him to heal and massively buff all allies around him while also granting periodic shield restore pulses to his allies SupportHelm isn't the best, especially for a first playthrough, but he is wonderfully silly
It's also weird that in BL2 they always say Wilhelm was the strongest Vault Hunters until that point as he singlehandedly kicked Roland, Brick, Mordecai and Lilith asses in one go yet in TPS he's nowhere near the strongest Vault Hunters in the group.
Do you think maybe they could be calling out the Badass Loaders that actually exist in game? Because EVERY time I've heard one of them call that out one has been nearby.
In the side quest that you help a murderous AI get a new body to kill, after the Constructor he talks about a war loader nearby (borderlands 2) so I guess it's a robot thing
For fun facts with claptrap I was expecting you to mention how he was able to predict future missions. In borderlands 2 before you open the secret stash in his corner he asks you to do like 5 random missions that end up appearing in borderlands 3 as actual missions. 1)Collect 139,377 brown rocks 2)Defeat Ug-Thak, Lord of Skags 3)Pilfer lost staff of Mount Schuler 4)Defeat Destroyer of Worlds 5)Dance, dance, baby When I saw these missions in borderlands 3 I had extreme deja vu 😅
@douglasthequilava base mission. 1. A mission on eden-6 near the town of reliance. (You literally collect rocks a jabber stole) 2. A mission on Pandora near the new headquarters towards the end of the game. ( it's a video game reference and you have to kill some bandits and help a gamer from spamming) 3. I pretty sure this mission is when you find the new mouthpiece 4. Self explanatory it's the final boss 5. Finish all of claptraps mission and you unlock one where he pretty much dances with a girl in a wheelchair. Which is "dance baby dance"

Bruh this is perfect, I've been playing through the borderlands games again so I've been looking for decent content to watch that's borderland's related; you telling me there's a hidden gem of a channel with a three hour long lore dump video? 🙏
Kinda late but I just stumbled upon your video, I would like to add something interesting about zero. Remember Battleborn? So, gearbox added several easter eggs about Borderlands in that game, it just happens nobody played lol. One of the factions in that game was called Jennerit, they are VERY reminiscent of Zero's demeanor, appearance, color schemes and the list goes on, oh and all of them have 4 fingers aaand they are somehow immortal. One of the charactes named Rath reminds me of Zero, he even uses a similar katana but he does have a human face. So yeah, they probably were planning on expanding this part of the lore but oh well, never happened
they didn’t? i could’ve sworn last time i played tps i could hear his voice get more robotic as i spec’d into more skills that added robot parts to him
@@jaydantastic3529 They kept his voice changing, but it was A LOT more robotic in the gameplay trailers when they got down to the vengeance cannon. Kinda more like his bl2 voice.
1:10:50 Zer0 doesn't actually get any bonus gun damage from deception cause its bugged. It only affects melee damage... also Zer0 has so much damage already that he really doesn't need the bee cause hes a glass canon/
The Scenario Is: You are given the opportunity to make the classes for Borderlands 4. However, each class must be based on a returning class, though not necessarily attatched to the same character (Example: The Soldier class still using a scorpion turret, but no longer used by Roland). Example Selection: Borderlands: The Siren Borderlands 2: The Psycho Pre-Sequel: The Fragtrap Borderlands 3: The Gunner
"What weapons they like, sexual orientation, their mother's maiden name, social security numb-" I felt a lot of joy when you mentioned sexual orientation, because I actually learned a lot about myself through the queer representation in Maya particularly and have garnered a large care about that aspect of each character's believability. I was very disappointed when I realised it was the middle ground between the serious and the joking. It dampened the genuine importance of their sexual orientations as a part of their personhood.
I don't wanna sound like a perk simp, but I know damn well you didn't just skip over Krieg's Unleash the Beast perk. The perk that regains all health when you are close to death by turning you into a badass psycho, basically providing a second wind without the need to fall first. (the animation also looks cool)
Plus it also makes you immune to damage whilst transforming into a mutant badass psycho, with increased damage reduction, damage, and instantly refilling your health when you kill an enemy in rampage
I also love how a bunch of the characters all voice characters in the dub of fairy tail Lilith is Ezra, Gaige is Lucy, Wainright jakobs is Gajeel, and Krieg’s inner voice is gildarts
This video is the reason I retied bl 3 and it is pretty good so thank you also love your content and have watch this video all the way through about 3 times now
@@LFXGaming When was the Lilith part of the script written? Because a week or two ago Randy confirmed that Lilith is still alive as he tweeted "If you find Elpis, you find Lilith", or something along those lines; practically confirming she phaselocked the entire moon together with herself. Somehow. Probably also a hint as to where BL4 will be headed lol
8 months late, but movie cast shouldve been. Roland- micheal jai white Brick- bautista Lilith- either scarlet johansen or mila johovovic ( the lady from 5th element and resident evil ) Mordecai- trevors actor Gta5/ the walking dead guy. Handsome jack- jim carey,
Wait, Kevin Hart is being cast as Roland?? I love Kevin Hart, but that is the worst casting decision ever! Kevin has one role and one role only: funny, over-the-top short black guy who is extremely sensitive about his height. That is the antithesis of who Roland is.
The whole movie is a bad idea to be honest. Focus on the story is doable, but the other side of borderlands is the novelty of finding the crazy gear, no clue how they're going to incorporate that.
I think the reason amaras abilities seem way more advanced is because developers gave more gameplay choice/freedom in how to apply her abilities in battle. Maya realistically would have the most diverse battle tactics because her ability is basically telekinesis, there would be nothing stopping her from levitating around in a phase lock or even dragging the weapons from enemy hands.
Took 8 days but im finally done watching this vid lol This is like the 2nd longest YT vid i ever watched, right after the Clone High Series Marathon from a few years back. Props for getting this vid out and having it be one gigantic vid instead of 3 split ones EDIT: lol forgot about TPS; instead of 4 split ones*
When I played Borderlands 3 I fell in love with Moze and FL4K because that was who me and my friend picked, and the obnoxious height difference never stopped being funny. Seriously it's so goofy since to them FL4K looked gigantic, and for me Moze looked about as tiny as Tina
You missed a really good chance to add the "Its Clappy!" song lyric to Claptraps intro like when you added Tina's quote for Roland. Video is still great regardless!
Considering the fact that every playable vault hunter that isn't Roland is clearly fucking insane, I wouldn't put anything, career choice-wise, past any of them.
the frame of a BL2 Roland staring soullessly at the viewer with “Depression” overlaid on top at 37:52 is one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen in my life please make it into a reaction image i beg you
Ever think about how little sense the B-Team has in context? At the end of Borderlands 2 Brick and Mordecai decide to help hunting down vaults. At the end of Pre Sequel the Watcher tells them to start recruiting more vault hunters. THEN IN BORDERLANDS 3 Brick and Mordecai just kinda don't do any of it and decide to team up with Tina and become some qeird mercenary team who doesn't give half a fuck about the Vault or the supposed big event.
First video. Watched the whole thing. Loved almost every second. I'm an unreasonably big fan of BL lore. This was probably the most fun presentation of the information I've found. Awesome video.
From game one to three I’ve always gravitated towards playing the sirens first. Here’s my guess as to why Amara can do so much more than any other siren we’ve playedEach playable siren character has represented a story of growth. First we play Lilith a woman who’s spent probably most of her life alone. She’s had the least siren focused education of any other and probably didn’t start evolving her powers until the events of bl1. Next is Maya, grew up in a environment where she was trained and educated on sirens and their powers. Although this was all tainted by the monk’s agenda. Finally we have Amara a life long fighter. While her siren education is questionable she most likely has more practical experience with her powers than the first two combined.
I don't even want to see Borderlands 4 with how they screwed over or just forgot the characters from previous games in Borderlands 3. Like Borderlands 2 paid a good amount of respect to the characters from the first game and those who were killed died a fairly meaningful deaths. Borderlands 3 writers have found out they have no skills for writing something too complex and decided to kill off anything they don't know what to do with.
Krieg to me is genuinely poetry in gameplay. Throughout the series, psychos are seen as these insane, yet simple weirdos who just set themselves on fire and throw buzz axes. But then you see krieg's skill trees and find he is the most complicated character to build in borderlands 2, so much that you can actually build him wrong. But if you know what you're doing he's basically an unkillable powerhouse.
The ION Loader pet is bugged you actually take 30% more elemental damage with him around. Edit: Also Barbaric Yawp doesn't work with the Loader Pets, which still is yet to be fixed.
the memes strong with this one the only nitpick i have is the sound mixing where often i get awaken when the sound is peaking, i think maybe you should limit the high end or smth man such a great video, i can only imagine how much time the editing took
I’ve found that even tho she doesn’t get the bonus for snipers and rockets, having aimbot on a launcher or sniper isn’t something to scoff at. She’s fun with dhal snipers
Azurelands/2.5 fixes so many issues and problems you listed about Death Trap, Axton's Turret and I implore you to give that patch a chance, its been so much fun leveling out classes I would have never touched before
I always thought that Maya was the leader of the Borderlands 2 group. Not because I am one of her massive simps, but because she is probably the most well off character among the 6 characters that she could probably force them to work together rather than tear at each other's throats. Gaige is barely out of her teens (and has a god complex), Zer0 is a mysterious assissin looking for his next big challenge, Axton is too much of a gloryhound that he'll disregard orders if he thinks something will be epic, Krieg is a literal Psycho, and Salvador is... Salvador. Not to say that Maya isn't dealing with her own shit, just that she seems the most mature out of the whole group.
I feel like when designing Moze, Gearbox took what's best from Salvador and Axton, put it into blender and served us literally the best and the most dopamine inducing cocktail ever to exist. This character is so fun to play that I've literally NOT EVEN ONCE beaten BL3 with any other characters and i've played through this game 5 different times + 2 times on TVHM That's right... SEVEN times i've played through the campaing and every single time I picked her.
FL4K is actually cannonically nonbinary, with a little pin with 01 crossed out on it, with the nonbinary flag behind it (get it? non-binary? robot? no?) also describing themselves as "not man nor woman" in game, and they/them pronouns only used for them :] making a robot nonbinary is not only classic but always so funny 2 me xd
ya I was going to say-- it's a great video and I love listening to his videos but the misgendering / use of improper pronouns was a little off-putting. assuming it was unintentional tho !!
@@livetheender YEAH especially cuz. this usually requires intense wiki scouring , and its reaally quite out there and even a cool Easter egg on their character model that could have been pointed out... 🤔
You kept my brain entertained and distracted from the boring shit i was doing all day. Also, the subcribe button looks WAY cooler when you click it than it used to.
An addendum for anyone that sees this, Gaige's Necromancer class mod is not named after a class, but is instead named after a subclass in DnD. It's specifically named after the Necromancer Wizard subclass
Amazing game series. Roland was my first character when bl1 first released so seeing his development really felt almost personal to me and his death was tragic and sad. Needless to say when bl2 came out i almost felt like i had a duty of sorts to play as axton.
I wouldn't say Wilhelm is evil, it's just he's not good, he likes killing and wanted to be a robot. so given that he's that type of character he doesn't really care about what's right or wrong, he just wants to kill and be a robot. Doesn't matter what side he's on he just wants those things, if the crimson raiders had found him first and been like hey we can do that for you he probably would have stayed with them. Point is I don't think he's technically evil. BTW nice video
My first character in any borderlands game is a siren (Aurelia in TPS). I like magic stuff. In DnD i'm a sorcerer or necromancer, a psyker in 40k darktide and so on. I like how magic makes a mundane situation extraordinary.
Fun Fact. I've always been on the fence on buying the borderlands games, then borderlands 3 tempted me towards yes when it came out, and this video caused me to buy the main games half an hour ago. Thanks
We all say we hate claptrap and his ability but secretly we love em and his chaotic abilities. Ps I love the chaoticness of his abilities. Gives a new twist to the game like using his ability on a flying enemy but getting a melee ability.
Happy that Zane got buffed, cause I remember wanting to play if all throughout the build up to release, picked him and made it to the Katagawa Jr fight before restarting as Fl4k, he fucking SUUUUCKED before he got buffed.
100K!!! Fuck yeah.... ty everyone who was insane enough to listen to me for this long, Merry Christmas guys!

As one of the people who played that game and remember the Easter egg about Tannis in the last DLC, I applaud you for this, mate.
1:05:21 dude I'm listening to this at work and I just hear "I know you're watching this Jake" and visibly looked around
Fuckin same
Can we just stop and appreciate this man. Absolute dedication and I love it. Thank you
He just read the wiki.
It's pretty much entirely plagiarized from the wiki, minus the jokes here and there
In one of the earlier gameplay demos, Wilhelm’s cybernetic voice is noticeably a lot more robotic. Something I wish they kept in.
they didn’t? i could’ve sworn last time i played tps i could hear his voice get more robotic as i spec’d into more skills that added robot parts to him
@@jaydantastic3529 They kept his voice changing, but it was A LOT more robotic in the gameplay trailers when they got down to the vengeance cannon. Kinda more like his bl2 voice.
Just gotta say RIP TK baha, ANGEL, Bloodwing, Roland, and Scooter!!
I havent played 3 and i cant remember if scooter died in 2- man scooter was cool.
@@iancasleton6356 Scooter died in Tales from the Borderlands
Cassius? Maya?
Also TK Baha is not really dead, he's a zombie now 😅
@Fbllost heck, HE does not know if it is canon or not!
love these long format videos, came for the lore, stayed for the gore. the commenary and subliminals be top tier. good work
1:10:50 Zer0 doesn't actually get any bonus gun damage from deception cause its bugged. It only affects melee damage... also Zer0 has so much damage already that he really doesn't need the bee cause hes a glass canon/
When Brick says "you shot me in my pinky toe" I do believe that is a reference to a line that was said in the movie Harlem Nights.
The Scenario Is: You are given the opportunity to make the classes for Borderlands 4. However, each class must be based on a returning class, though not necessarily attatched to the same character (Example: The Soldier class still using a scorpion turret, but no longer used by Roland). Example Selection:
Borderlands: The Siren
Borderlands 2: The Psycho
Pre-Sequel: The Fragtrap
Borderlands 3: The Gunner
Class 1: Siren
Class 2: Siren
Class 3: Baroness (Basically a Siren)
Class 4: Siren
I like Sirens
@@LFXGaming That would certainly be a dream team, though practically speaking I would worry about the specialization overlap towards elemental damage.
Siren,
(Cheating a bit here since I can't pick between the two) Assassin and Psycho
Fragtrap
Beastmaster
Honestly a siren with command abilities
The fact that this video doesn’t have 1 mil views is actually criminal this was funny af
"What weapons they like, sexual orientation, their mother's maiden name, social security numb-"
I felt a lot of joy when you mentioned sexual orientation, because I actually learned a lot about myself through the queer representation in Maya particularly and have garnered a large care about that aspect of each character's believability.
I was very disappointed when I realised it was the middle ground between the serious and the joking. It dampened the genuine importance of their sexual orientations as a part of their personhood.
I was not expecting to see my upload of the cut Handsome Jack Dialogue here
I am honored
Quality content. Watched the whole thing, so glad you have more of these videos i can nerd out to for hours too come, Cheers .
I don't wanna sound like a perk simp, but I know damn well you didn't just skip over Krieg's Unleash the Beast perk. The perk that regains all health when you are close to death by turning you into a badass psycho, basically providing a second wind without the need to fall first. (the animation also looks cool)
Plus it also makes you immune to damage whilst transforming into a mutant badass psycho, with increased damage reduction, damage, and instantly refilling your health when you kill an enemy in rampage
Please keep making these longer vids! Don't think I've ever enjoyed every second of a 3 hour vid so much :)
Thank you for the three hours of background entertainment at work it was very appreciated
I also love how a bunch of the characters all voice characters in the dub of fairy tail Lilith is Ezra, Gaige is Lucy, Wainright jakobs is Gajeel, and Krieg’s inner voice is gildarts
As a borderlands fan very enjoyable long vid to watch an well put together
Thank you it's very much appreciated! :)
This video is the reason I retied bl 3 and it is pretty good so thank you also love your content and have watch this video all the way through about 3 times now
20:55 that cut off was so perfect, subscription worthy edit
Gaige is so fun. She's somehow a really strong character despite the fact that she can hold a gun at eye level and shoot herself in the foot.
babe wake up, new long watchtime borderlands video dropped!
wait how tf do you only have 8k subs
would've expected like at least 20k
@@Slaccoon I am something of an underground artist, underrated you could say
@@LFXGaming When was the Lilith part of the script written? Because a week or two ago Randy confirmed that Lilith is still alive as he tweeted "If you find Elpis, you find Lilith", or something along those lines; practically confirming she phaselocked the entire moon together with herself. Somehow. Probably also a hint as to where BL4 will be headed lol
8 months late, but movie cast shouldve been.
Roland- micheal jai white
Brick- bautista
Lilith- either scarlet johansen or mila johovovic ( the lady from 5th element and resident evil )
Mordecai- trevors actor Gta5/ the walking dead guy.
Handsome jack- jim carey,
Now that is perfect casting, agree with all for them! 😃
@@NerdyGamerReacts thank you bro, better than what we got atleast lol
Wait, Kevin Hart is being cast as Roland?? I love Kevin Hart, but that is the worst casting decision ever! Kevin has one role and one role only: funny, over-the-top short black guy who is extremely sensitive about his height. That is the antithesis of who Roland is.
Yeah I don't really understand the decision either, there's a lot of people who I think deserve and suit the role more, but let's see what happens ig
Honestly the guy who does Kratos's voice in the new God of wars would be a good choice
@@badasscrusaderI agree wholeheartedly! He fits the role perfectly
@@badasscrusaderChristopher judge
The whole movie is a bad idea to be honest. Focus on the story is doable, but the other side of borderlands is the novelty of finding the crazy gear, no clue how they're going to incorporate that.
I think the reason amaras abilities seem way more advanced is because developers gave more gameplay choice/freedom in how to apply her abilities in battle. Maya realistically would have the most diverse battle tactics because her ability is basically telekinesis, there would be nothing stopping her from levitating around in a phase lock or even dragging the weapons from enemy hands.
Took 8 days but im finally done watching this vid lol
This is like the 2nd longest YT vid i ever watched, right after the Clone High Series Marathon from a few years back. Props for getting this vid out and having it be one gigantic vid instead of 3 split ones
EDIT: lol forgot about TPS; instead of 4 split ones*
Yes Bro Glad You Enjoyed It And Could Get Through listening to my Annoying ahh for 3 hours, Means A Lot 💪
Moze and Salvador in a nutshell:
"BRRRRRRR BA-BA-BA-BA-BANG KABSHSHSH PEW PEW PEW KA-KA POOOM"
This was one hell of a video, thanks for putting in the time and effort!! Other than Gaige getting third place, I think you nailed it!!
When I played Borderlands 3 I fell in love with Moze and FL4K because that was who me and my friend picked, and the obnoxious height difference never stopped being funny. Seriously it's so goofy since to them FL4K looked gigantic, and for me Moze looked about as tiny as Tina
You missed a really good chance to add the "Its Clappy!" song lyric to Claptraps intro like when you added Tina's quote for Roland. Video is still great regardless!
The legend himself has posted
took long enough lmao
I love how they brought Nisha back as Rose.
Loved this. Got me through my Monday. I just picked up bl2 for what's probably somewhere around 20th playthrough. Just inspired me to play morr.
Omg I watched it all. It was very good. Thanks! And you have a job in comedy.
Considering the fact that every playable vault hunter that isn't Roland is clearly fucking insane, I wouldn't put anything, career choice-wise, past any of them.
the frame of a BL2 Roland staring soullessly at the viewer with “Depression” overlaid on top at 37:52 is one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen in my life
please make it into a reaction image i beg you
Ever think about how little sense the B-Team has in context? At the end of Borderlands 2 Brick and Mordecai decide to help hunting down vaults. At the end of Pre Sequel the Watcher tells them to start recruiting more vault hunters. THEN IN BORDERLANDS 3 Brick and Mordecai just kinda don't do any of it and decide to team up with Tina and become some qeird mercenary team who doesn't give half a fuck about the Vault or the supposed big event.
You convinced me, time to replay the entire franchise again
>Claims his dog gives him super strength
>Loves punching
Brick is literally me fr fr
what a behemoth of video about just only my favourite game(s) ever.. thank you!
This was very informative. Thank you for making this. As someone whose has yet to play a borderlands title this has made me consider it.
As a big fan of you and borderlands, i see this a a great day and video.
I've waited so long for this vid, I wont watch it now but I will tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥
The ninja echo log edit killed me. Definitely subbing
First video. Watched the whole thing. Loved almost every second. I'm an unreasonably big fan of BL lore. This was probably the most fun presentation of the information I've found. Awesome video.
From game one to three I’ve always gravitated towards playing the sirens first. Here’s my guess as to why Amara can do so much more than any other siren we’ve playedEach playable siren character has represented a story of growth. First we play Lilith a woman who’s spent probably most of her life alone. She’s had the least siren focused education of any other and probably didn’t start evolving her powers until the events of bl1. Next is Maya, grew up in a environment where she was trained and educated on sirens and their powers. Although this was all tainted by the monk’s agenda. Finally we have Amara a life long fighter. While her siren education is questionable she most likely has more practical experience with her powers than the first two combined.
I don't even want to see Borderlands 4 with how they screwed over or just forgot the characters from previous games in Borderlands 3. Like Borderlands 2 paid a good amount of respect to the characters from the first game and those who were killed died a fairly meaningful deaths. Borderlands 3 writers have found out they have no skills for writing something too complex and decided to kill off anything they don't know what to do with.
17:55 BOY SPEND THEM SKILL POINTS!!!! ITS FREAKING ME OUT!!!
Krieg to me is genuinely poetry in gameplay. Throughout the series, psychos are seen as these insane, yet simple weirdos who just set themselves on fire and throw buzz axes. But then you see krieg's skill trees and find he is the most complicated character to build in borderlands 2, so much that you can actually build him wrong. But if you know what you're doing he's basically an unkillable powerhouse.
Hood classic here, mister LFX Gaming. Good job father
Thx Bbz 😘
Honestly disagree that Axton wouldnt be a model.
Man loves himself a lot.
The ION Loader pet is bugged you actually take 30% more elemental damage with him around.
Edit: Also Barbaric Yawp doesn't work with the Loader Pets, which still is yet to be fixed.
What a weird glitch to happen 😂
basically the pokemon RBY Focus Energy bug
can we have more long form videos? the longer they are - the more enjoyable.
The pain is worth getting these types of videos out so I'm planning on it!
@@LFXGaming bro, it's worth it. you're doing a great service to the fans of the series
the memes strong with this one
the only nitpick i have is the sound mixing where often i get awaken when the sound is peaking, i think maybe you should limit the high end or smth
man such a great video, i can only imagine how much time the editing took
Well done! Very enjoyable. I also love Maya, and Lilith and Zane are my other go-to players.
I’ve found that even tho she doesn’t get the bonus for snipers and rockets, having aimbot on a launcher or sniper isn’t something to scoff at. She’s fun with dhal snipers
Azurelands/2.5 fixes so many issues and problems you listed about Death Trap, Axton's Turret and I implore you to give that patch a chance, its been so much fun leveling out classes I would have never touched before
Why doesn't anyone remember that DT can get a shield.
It doesn't help a lot in end game but it makes a difference.
I watched it from start to end and it was a great experience, excellent video from a fan of the series for fans of the series
I always thought that Maya was the leader of the Borderlands 2 group. Not because I am one of her massive simps, but because she is probably the most well off character among the 6 characters that she could probably force them to work together rather than tear at each other's throats. Gaige is barely out of her teens (and has a god complex), Zer0 is a mysterious assissin looking for his next big challenge, Axton is too much of a gloryhound that he'll disregard orders if he thinks something will be epic, Krieg is a literal Psycho, and Salvador is... Salvador. Not to say that Maya isn't dealing with her own shit, just that she seems the most mature out of the whole group.
This unironically woke me up while I was autoplaying youtube and I can't say I'm not happily entertained!
I feel like when designing Moze, Gearbox took what's best from Salvador and Axton, put it into blender and served us literally the best and the most dopamine inducing cocktail ever to exist. This character is so fun to play that I've literally NOT EVEN ONCE beaten BL3 with any other characters and i've played through this game 5 different times + 2 times on TVHM
That's right... SEVEN times i've played through the campaing and every single time I picked her.
I've subbed, liked, and viewed a few videos 😅
29:28 that blue screen sounds like Scotter talking
FL4K is actually cannonically nonbinary, with a little pin with 01 crossed out on it, with the nonbinary flag behind it (get it? non-binary? robot? no?)
also describing themselves as "not man nor woman" in game, and they/them pronouns only used for them :]
making a robot nonbinary is not only classic but always so funny 2 me xd
ya I was going to say-- it's a great video and I love listening to his videos but the misgendering / use of improper pronouns was a little off-putting. assuming it was unintentional tho !!
@@livetheender YEAH especially cuz. this usually requires intense wiki scouring , and its reaally quite out there and even a cool Easter egg on their character model that could have been pointed out... 🤔
You kept my brain entertained and distracted from the boring shit i was doing all day. Also, the subcribe button looks WAY cooler when you click it than it used to.
14:38 lmfao I'm crying, comic panel says, "I am a siren...Which is totally swag." Can't believe this is real
An addendum for anyone that sees this, Gaige's Necromancer class mod is not named after a class, but is instead named after a subclass in DnD. It's specifically named after the Necromancer Wizard subclass
Amazing game series. Roland was my first character when bl1 first released so seeing his development really felt almost personal to me and his death was tragic and sad. Needless to say when bl2 came out i almost felt like i had a duty of sorts to play as axton.
Surprised there was no "Say this if you got to the end", but great vid mate, thanks
Your first sentence exactly describes my thoughts when this video came up on my algorithm. Here’s to the next 3 hours 🎉
I wouldn't say Wilhelm is evil, it's just he's not good, he likes killing and wanted to be a robot. so given that he's that type of character he doesn't really care about what's right or wrong, he just wants to kill and be a robot. Doesn't matter what side he's on he just wants those things, if the crimson raiders had found him first and been like hey we can do that for you he probably would have stayed with them. Point is I don't think he's technically evil.
BTW nice video
My first character in any borderlands game is a siren (Aurelia in TPS). I like magic stuff. In DnD i'm a sorcerer or necromancer, a psyker in 40k darktide and so on. I like how magic makes a mundane situation extraordinary.
at 2:30 when he said he covers "literally everything i looked at the video length
I definitely did not expect to watch all this. Let alone in one sitting. Now i want to play borderlands again
Fun Fact. I've always been on the fence on buying the borderlands games, then borderlands 3 tempted me towards yes when it came out, and this video caused me to buy the main games half an hour ago. Thanks
Kevin Hart already ruined Roland by starring as him
Love your work man !
Critical Ascension in Zer0's sniping tree is really good, it can make any sniper into a deadly weapon by giving a basically infinite damage boost.
this video kept me company halfway through my shift 😁 thx
Took me 2 days to finish it but I believe it was worth it. Thanks for the video and I think you do deserve the sub.
With so much time in the borderlands franchise... I feel you with that tediore gun = heinous crime lmao
We all say we hate claptrap and his ability but secretly we love em and his chaotic abilities.
Ps I love the chaoticness of his abilities. Gives a new twist to the game like using his ability on a flying enemy but getting a melee ability.
i was not planning on watching a 3 hour long video about every vault hunter but here we are
Happy that Zane got buffed, cause I remember wanting to play if all throughout the build up to release, picked him and made it to the Katagawa Jr fight before restarting as Fl4k, he fucking SUUUUCKED before he got buffed.
