When this game was released me and my little brother played the hell out of this game, it consumed our imaginations, and eventually his lungs were consumed and he passed away last April, watching this video brought back countless hours of memories. RIP William ❤
Almost didn't happen - up until a few months before release, it was gonna be yet another gritty, serious, grey and brown shooter to throw on the ever expanding heap from that decade. Switching the tone and the art style was an 11th hour decision - a level of risk you'd NEVER see today.
I remember buying this game because the cover looked intriguing and I just wanted something me and my friend could play together on the couch. Went from a random purchase to us both standing outside for a midnight release of BL2, them getting their own console so we didn't have to split screen, and now being hooked on 3. This will forever be one of my favorite franchises ever, and is THE looter shooter.
I went through a similar phase. For the last decade or so, I'd heard nothing but good things about the Borderlands series; but never paid too much attention to it. I'd played bits of the first game years ago, but again, just never got into it enough to care. Then about 4 years ago, I finally got my hands on the Handsome Collection. I decided to sit down and give the Pre-Sequel a go before 2. And before long, I'd just fallen in love with these games. I finally finished the original after so many years, understood now why TFTB was so beloved; and was ecstatic as all hell when 3 was announced. The rest is history.
I remember accidentally buying this game on release day thinking it was Rage on the Xbox 360 and it turned out to be one of the best mistakes I've ever made. Been a huge fan ever since and the nostalgia with this intro hits different
@@mairogoev673 I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye I saw a pretty little thing approaching me She said, "I never seen a man, who looks so all alone And could you use a little company? If you can pay the right price, your evening will be nice But you can go and send me on my way" I said, "You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?" She looked at me and this is what she said Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back Though you know, I wish I could Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good Not even fifteen minutes later after walking down the street When I saw the shadow of a man creep out out of sight And then he swept up from behind, he put a gun up to my head He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight He said, "Give me all you've got, I want your money not your life But if you try to make a move I won't think twice" I told him, "You can have my cash, but first you know I gotta ask What made you want to live this kind of life?" He said Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back Though you know, I wish I could Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good Well now a couple hours past and I was sitting in my house The day was winding down and coming to an end And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees We got bills to pay, we got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free Oh no we can't slow down, we can't hold back Though you know we wish we could Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good
And so one of the funniest, coolest and most unique games ever started. Got myself an Xbox360. And I bought Borderlands as a total blind gamble! The effect was intoxicating! Spent hundreds of hours in all 4 classes. All quests, all legendaries!
By far the best, the other games in the series just lose the subtlety and direction that the first game had, we just couldnt force ourselves to play the third one even, despite the mechanical improvements.
I will always remember the first time I played a borderlands game (Borderlands 2) and when seeing the intro I thought that it probably wouldn't have been better with the song ain't no rest for the wicked and about a week later when I found out it was already used for the first games intro I felt like I knew everything
I miss when borderlands had a darker tone, everything was more depressing and characters were more antisocial. Created a really awesome atmosphere, but borderlands 2 is still a fun game to play through nonetheless
I feel you. The first one will for ever be my favourite. Especially on the first few maps. I think it's a bit sad that they decided to go all in on that crazy humour
@@tobiasklingele9803 it was 2010 humour, it makes for great marketing and memes at the time. Without it I don’t think we’d have had borderlands 3. I’m grateful for what we have now. Currently I’m working on a comic based on the original borderlands comic series and other books that came out at the time: i might post a video update on it when I have enough content out
I'm not a huge fan of the first Borderlands, and wasn't keen on what I played of the sequel, but there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that this intro is FIRE, probably one of the best gaming intros of all time. We've got pacing, we've got clear introduction to the world, it's monsters, and the roles our protagonists play in it and a sense of what each of them is about. We've got incredibly timing, action perfectly synced to the music, great music, great camera pans, and overall you just really feel the VIBE and energy of what's going on. Barely any actual dialog other than the music lyrics and the bus driver, and you feel like you inhabit that bus, and you're itching to step off it and engage with the world.
Fun fact: these are two separate scenes put together, the first when the bus driver is telling the story (it sounds like the bus driver) its when your picking a character to play as, the second where the skag gets hit with the bus is what plays when your idle for a a minute or two

before i finished bl2 i watched someone's satirical take on what the borderlands movie is gonna be like, and at the end lilith says "there's no rest for the wicked." Never would I have guessed that she legitimately says it at the end of bl2

Woah.
Ryan Fanstone that’s the song lyrics from the intro
Sorry to hear his passing but he’s rocking in heaven at least you have the memories of good times together
Ryan Fanstone you seemed concerned with what he said
One of the coolest intros to a game imo.
+Trevor Martinez yup
one of the coolest series ever made period
I like the borderlands 2 trailer more

Borderlands 2 did the character intros better but this had the better marcus segment
Marcus is greedy but damn does he know how to tell a story.
Fun fact: all of the character animations were mocapped by the creative director Mikey Newman, which also includes Lilith’s strut and blowing a kiss.
I need to see this
Lmao so some dude went and blew a kiss in front of like 13 people on the set
And the Why Boner returns...with a VENGEANCE!
You KNOW they WANTED to mocap that!

Yes,it was just the way you described,this how i got into this amazing franchise
Ah 3, the gameplay was an improvement but the story was such a mess. Just can’t make myself play through that again
Sameeeeeee best game ever made

Borderlands 2 may be a better game but goddamn, borderlands 1's intro is amazing.
Not really once you've seen CodeHunters and learned about Ben Hibbon's perspective on all this.
I honestly think borderlands one was better
@@Iputnoeffortinmyvideos I like that in the first game, the characters aren't heroes like the games that came after, they just want to be rich.
@@uberson6141 it's just a conspiracy,bigot
Borderlands 2 character intros are better, but the marcus segment is better here
Feels like mordecai wanted to flex that he could swing a sword lmao
Lilth: I can turn purple
Brick: I am strong
Roland: ...
Mordecai: *I HAVE A SWORD, FEAR ME*
lol
@@spacedino2 roland: ****Navy Seal Copypasta Intensifies****
Also Mordecai: I HAVE A BIRD
Still one of the best intros to a game... It just got me so psyched to play.
Nice one😂
I... LOVE ... THE ......... MUSIC!
Awesome
Whats the name of the song ? ^-^
***** Cage the Elephant - Aint no rest for the wicked
MrPabloAlmeida Awesome!!!!!!!! Thank you Sir ^-^

Cage The Elephant's music fits BL so well, it's as if the BL universe was made just for it.
DeepbloodEclipse Was sitting here thinking the exact same. I hope they use another song of theirs for the 3rd installment

"no rest for the wicked" is a quote from the Bible.
Borderlands has my favorite intro despite the other ones being action packed. I love the nostalgia.
By far the best, the other games in the series just lose the subtlety and direction that the first game had, we just couldnt force ourselves to play the third one even, despite the mechanical improvements.
So you want to hear a story eh?
*GAME CRASH*
Thats funny but that also sucks at the same time.
Man I love that story
One of the few games that the Devs seem to still have passion for...
This is what the borderlands movie should have been..
There's a *_What_*
Well ...
One of my favorite intros to a video game. If someone asked what kind of series Borderlands is, I’d probably just show them this.
An awesome start to a LEGENDARY series
I rented this back when blockbuster had only the title and a blue cover. Glad I did.
2022. Tiny Tina's making me living my Best life. And here i am to remember how it began , with one of the Best intro i ever saw in a game.
I love how brick had a dog… plays well with the trope.
I will always remember the first time I played a borderlands game (Borderlands 2) and when seeing the intro I thought that it probably wouldn't have been better with the song ain't no rest for the wicked and about a week later when I found out it was already used for the first games intro I felt like I knew everything
Being thrown into a game like this - epic! :D
So fucking good
10000000000% the best intro in the history of video games
oh i just noticed that when it focused in on the characters all the other ones disappeared
really? i'll chk it out
Himmelen I always assumed that was so the player pays more attention to one character at a time
A.T Lesbian loli I thought it was a jab at that you can only play one character at a time.
True
This was the coolest video game intro I had ever seen when I was 13, it still kinda is
Who’s watching after Borderlands 3 release?
Yep
Me because I need to refresh my mind after I heard borderlands 3 credit music, is was gay.
Best Background song for this game, couldn't have had a better choice
The sudden skag roadkill never fails to make me laugh.
I love how a Skag always gets merked.
Not in B3 kiddo
I come back here on a yearly basis
The original borderladns.....when the vault was still something a lot f people isn't think existed lol.
Classic
Engrish
If there is no Skag Roadkill in BL3
Not mah gam
Rocket Jumper that’s why the pre sequel was bad
A skag causes a psycho to become roadkill, does that count?
This agreed well
Rocket Jumper about that....
There actually is
Like 8 hours into the story
Before the quirky in-jokes.
Before the memes.
I had no idea what I was buying. And these three and a half minutes blew me away.
Og borderlands has that feel no other has
Cant wait to see the pre sequels intro
The sound of the skag being run over will always be in the back of my head, while listening to this song. It became part of the tune for me.
Yup.
I’ll tell ya one of my favorite memories in gamine was little me sitting at my dads desk watching this intro over and over just to hear the song.
The release of 3 has reminded me that Borderlands is my all time fave series.
I miss when borderlands had a darker tone, everything was more depressing and characters were more antisocial. Created a really awesome atmosphere, but borderlands 2 is still a fun game to play through nonetheless

@@RykaWodzy So everything just peachy now?
Honestly just came here to watch it cause cage the elephant made the intro song :) still, awesome game
borderlands and great openings go hand in hand
You know sometimes I just got to go back and listen to this intro again
I remember when this game came out on 360 everyone was playing it
2:53 Roland is so relatable

2:30 DRIP mordecai
And that’s how Cage The Elephant became my all time favorite band
twinning
This might be the greatest intro to any game of all time.
I will always and forever use Mordecai
Punisher I NEVER DIE!
Lilith is the best character though
Legendary that somewhat is kinda true since, if given a good enough build she can do insane dps, especially when given elemental weapons
Legendary none of the other volt hunters in the game can compete with her dps
RIP Bloodwing (Borderlands 2)
This trailer (with the song) sold the game to me.
The best intro to any game! Borderlands 2 is a close second, but I got chills when I saw this in the beginning. That's just my opinion though
No wonder I instantly loved the show Lucifer, they use the same song for their opening scenes!
That's where I know it from!! I just started playing Borderlands and this song felt nostalgic but I couldn't place where it was from, thank you
The first Borderlands was the best, and you can't change my mind
No need to. You’re speaking facts.
Oh no there ain’t no rest for the wicked until we close our eyes for good
It’s a simple intro of them bring in a bus but they still managed to make it really cool
I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye

Have some goshdarn faith
Throughout borderlands 3, you'll find a book titled "The Hunters" and the first two pages it displays Marcus's intro.
One of the best intros ever
There ain't no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good~
What it’s like on a Chicago public school bus. Except way less violence.

i love that in the end of borderlands 2 they referenced this game's intro by lilith legit saying it

man it still goes hard after 14 years
Oh I miss this game it's a shame shame no-one really sells it
And brick as himself. Because nobody gets to decide who brick is because he is brick and will forever be my favourite character and my main.
this intro always got me pumped
Marcus Kindaid is the best character ever.
damn man....this opening was like wow (y)
Where it all began.
Yup
Saudades da época que Borderlands ainda era massa, pra mim os melhores ainda são apenas o primeiro e o segundo.
Played all the way through the first one with my dad. And a ton on the second, we just haven’t taken the time to do it
That's an awesome memory
Ain't no rest for the wicked.
Why are these intros always so satisfying
I loved the zombie dlc I still think about it from time to time

so....u want to hear a story huh?
matthew natividad yes

No
Too bad, I'm telling ya anyway

All 4 borderlands have the best soundtrack. Cage the Elephant makes only bangers
