Andy Howe I like how they actually referenced the NewU station where Roland dies he could of just respawned but he didn’t because he died in a cutscene 😂😂
Eh. Borderlands 2 was bit more forgiven-ish. Instead of driving long distances 24/7 you had to fight endless waves baddies trying to cross a room that is 4 feet big. Unless you are playing Maya then you just phase lock them an run on by.
I don't know if you remember clearly, but Felicity actually doesn't betray you, you betray her. You are the one that pushes her to the point where she breaks and fights back. It's honestly a somewhat heartbreaking moment in the story where you have to kill your own friend and one of the earlier parts where we get to see Handsome Jack sacrifice a bit of his humanity.
I know, old comment but... It's even more heartbreaking that it's Jack's only option to save Elpis. He was partial to just copying Felicity but unfortunatelly they didn't have enough time for that.
Double old but plot hole: why not install Felicity to overthrow Helios and AFTER just copy her and take her out of the constructor? We've already installed and uninstalled her before so why not just have her in there temporarily?
Andii Neushul the point of the whole copying her thing was because she didn’t want to kill anyone, that’s why she wanted them to copy her, the boss fight wouldn’t have even been a thing if felicity was okay with just being in there for a little while
@@AdrianMor27 no he wasn't. In the beginning of the game he was a sane dude who wanted to climb the corporatel ladder by finding the vault. Every body started betraying him for no god damn reason and the final straw is when Lilith punched him.
Felicity didn't betray you, you betrayed her. Like imagine running a company and then having to work as a general worker. Bet you wouldn't be happy either.
She was also used as a sex object by the Bosun if you listen to her dialogue. Jack then flat out says to erase her personality to make her more efficient at killing. So plenty of reasons to betray the two bastards, but sympathy doesn't sell when you can just board the hate train to 💰 town as demonstrated by the rest of the video deliberately making shit up and not actually parodying or even summing up the game in order to deliver stale and irrelevant jokes for the sake of pandering to an imaginary demographic. Tl;Dr this video is a shameless lazy cash grab of something that could have been great if the creator actually gave a fuck. Just like TPS. Shame when you look at the other videos this guy's done for the rest of the series but I suppose it is fitting in a meta sense if nothing else.
It's weird because Jack QUICKLY jumps to threatening to erase her consciousness. Even though she doesn't want to do it, there is absolutely no conversation about this before the threat is made, and Felicity reasonably lashes out against that. But it's weird because if there were just a LITTLE more conversation, she would only need to create these Loaders for a small frame of time just to help get back Helios so Elpis isn't explode. But nothing of the sort happens, it feels like something that could have very easily been avoided if Jack didn't threaten her so strongly so quickly. It's really his fault
I really enjoyed everything about this game. It's probably because of the low-gravity and oxygen gameplay. They nailed the feeling of being in space and on the moon. This game also has some beautiful environments that make you stop for a second and take it all in. It was a nice refresher away from all the chaos on Pandora. I'm most excited about exploring all the different new planets and their biomes in Borderlands 3.
Oh and Borderlands 3's planets aren't really that good, they just feel like Pandora without dirt, the only one that actually feels like a whole new place is Eden-6
@@higoralves3132 the story isnt that bad, just some really long dialogues and lilith with roland helping jack for... for some reason... thats basically the only downside of that story.
Yeaaaah but I played this game first in the series and had no idea Jack was a Villain. I just got slapped in the face with that ending. I was sad Jack wasn’t in my side in Borderlands 2 lol.
Oh wow, that's awesome! I wish I could go back and see what it's like to experience the game that way. Did you play BL1 before TPS or was TPS your very first in the series? If not, did you ever go back and play BL1? The General Knoxx DLC is some of the best content in the franchise.
Lol I did the same thing kinda I played the first, then the pre-sequel thinking it was next to play because I’m an idiot, then play borderlands two which didn’t change much except the spoiler of Roland dying
@@cheezyfilmsproductions1842 I haven't played general Knoxx DLC. I really dont want to start BL1 over and not feeling booting up the PS3 versions save.
*BOOOOOOOOORING!* You don't wanna hear about that, Vault Hunter! You wanna hear about LOOT! AND PECS! AND EXPLOSIONS! I'm Torgue, and I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: *EXPLOSIONS?!*
I may have just been blinded by the loot, skills balance, gameplay, etc. But I liked the Pre-Sequel. 🤷♂️ Especially the best Vault boss in the game so far.
I dislike the sentinel boss just cuz it can get tedius when farming for celestial mods, but I love the vault itself and tycho's ribs, because it looked eridian, and so alien, and imo what the inside of a vault should look like. which to me made the warrior and the vault of the warrior much more boring even compared to the Destroyer, because both the lead up to the Destroyer and the Sentinel had Guardians as well, but that's just me.
The balance in TPS is nice. Especially the part where you don't get surprise colonoscopy from enemies that are immune to slag and have more hp than your ammo storage can handle. Sentinel is cool. His unskippable cutscene isn't.
For a game meant to be played multiple times, the long NPC conservatives that don't give you a way point until they are done are brutal. Padding out the play time is one thing but even JRPGs let you skip conversations now.
Except for which character you get in the end.. and 4 choices mean you go to different paths but basically yeah it doesn't really affect anything in the end
I enjoyed the glitch weapons from the claptrap dlc and the game showed potential especially considering how the uvhm was more balanced. But they shut down 2K Australia before all the dlc was made
But I love the presequel just as much as bl2 :( sure it has its downsides but lots of really cool new additions like laser weapons and cryo and special dialogue for the characters.
@@GehLekTek There are hardly 2 "raid" bosses... I miss side bosses, like Terramorphous, Dragons, Voracidous, Warrior... the bosses worth farming for in TPS are Empyrean Sentinel and Iwajira, the rest are pretty lame (Also, loot rain became not-that-much-loot-at-all)
SkillShot Gaming damn I hope they find some way to give that game a sequel. That game was awesome, and now that telltale isn’t around to telltale it up, it might actually have a chance at an extremely varied storyline
Best story recap so far! That Claptrap final boss was ridiculous. My friends and I beat it because I'd just hide until my turrets popped out, then I'd pop out and lock on with my homing lazer gun, and repeat. All the while, my buddies ran out to shoot a few times before dying again and losing all their cash. I don't know how we managed to afford ammo...
You missed your chance to sarcastically call jack jOhN throughout the recap until the end. There’s just something so funny saying Handsome John instead.
Oh, sure..! Not like he killed millions, destroyed many towns, ruined many lives.. Used his own daughter for his advantage... Yea! He's completely innocent.
@@sancti1811 And what does you as a vault hunter do?You murder people simply for their loot, take on missions without questioning its real motives like a mercenary. Theres no evil or good in borderlands everyone is just simply crazy and a murderer, noone said that Jack is innocent he just had a vision that he wanted to make true and in TPS and BL2 theres a lots of things that tells Jacks true story about how he got abused by everyone and how he got betrayed by everyone hes ever trusted Lillith,Roland,moxi created a monster and the 'people' of pandora deserved everything that they got.
I love this game. It was actuallyreay good and my favorite boos fight of all time was definetely the sentinel. However,the reason I think this is so bad isreay the small amount of dlcs and hidden bosses. Bl2 has like ten, this has two, nel and the Skag but not.
The Pre-Sequal had 4 DLCs. The arena, claptraps mind, baroness Aurelia & Jack's clone. The reason it didn't get more, iirc, were the comparatively poor sales figures.
Which is unfair because you can’t really consider The Presequel to be full Borderlands game. It was cheaper when it came out so I always looked it as being not quite an expansion, not quite a full game. There weren’t really major changes in how the game played to consider it a completely new full game, but it was standalone and surprisingly had its own DLC so it sure as hell wasn’t DLC for BL2.
Just finished the main -slog- story. Been meaning to for years but just couldn't get invested because the whole thing just felt like a giant retcon because the creators liked Jack so much. In the end they just made Lilith look like an unfeeling nutcase too considering Jack had already at this point enslaved his own daughter. (Were we really supposed to just forget that Gearbox?) That I found particularly irritating since she was my main for BL1. Oh well at least I'm caught up for BL3. I might dick my way though Claptastic Voyage but I'll probably just go back to playing BL2.
Dahl makes some really good guns. Especially the blues when you pick them up while trying to play story mode. Always satisfying to use and can put out a lot of damage.
Funny thing in the booze mission for Mordecai Mox brings up the fact that her n jack broke up after he set a whole bunch of people on fire, so it kinda gave off the vibe that they didn't consider the complete lore of bl2 into the game
B BOY 628 it didn’t say when they broke up, just that Jack didn’t seem so bad until he set those people on fire. So she may have dumped him before that point.
falcore91 yeah it had to have happened before since he addresses her as his ex in a couple lines, it just always messed with me since I'm just kinda like "he did slick set some peeps on fire" so Mox ain't entirely wrong in trying to kill him specially when they found out about the eye
"Jack finds out that the scientists have been talking to Jason Schreier about all the crunch hours they're required to work" I think Jack's response is reasonable.
I actually like playing the pre sequel I was just mainly sick and tired of playing bl2 for a while I just needed something different, bl2 is a great game as well and has tons and tons of content but I also like of what’s in the pre sequel as well I’m a simple guy I like lasers, space and most importantly butt slamming xD.
It was a good story, and I liked how the interactions change depending on who you're playing, the mechanics were by far the best of all 3 games. They tried to make Jack appear less evil than he really was (remember by this point he had already used his daughter to trick the vault hunters in BL1) but most other things made sense.
1:44 I didn't know jack (haha) about Warhammer when I first watched your Borderlands recap series. Upon rewatching, and now knowing a little about Warhammer, I'm happy to have gotten this reference :). Addendum: 5:37 same goes for the Transformers reference here :).
TPS was ok. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. The writing and jokes were worse (and this is coming from someone who didn't like the writing and humor in BL2), and there wasn't as much content, but on the flip side this meant there wasn't as much padding as in BL2, and I recall the enemies being less tanky. Some enemies in BL2 were outright bullet sponges, and there were a few "fuck you, die" moments if you were playing solo. TPS didn't have bullshit like that. TPS was actually the first game I bothered doing TVHM, because the main story was short, concise and didn't try screwing you over at every turn. They even fixed UVHM; enemies didn't regen health and didn't receive as much of a health increase. I hope they go with the TPS model for UVHM instead of the BL2 model, because BL2's UVHM is an exercise in frustration, and doesn't translate well to some parts of the game. I also liked the mobility options in TPS; you can jump pretty high in that game, which could make for some pretty nice evasive maneuvers.
