Even the bad guys like Handsome Jack and the new villain, Vallory, are likeable to an extent. One aspect of Tales From The Borderlands that really stuck out in Episode 3 was how much I enjoy the characters in this series. I feel like that would work on a week-to-week, or even month-to-month episodic release schedule, but nearly a third of a year in between episodes is just too much time to be able to accurately remember much beyond who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. Now, the argument could be made that if the game was good enough, it’d be memorable enough on its own. So yeah, it would have been nice to remember that plot point. My decision ended up costing a character their life. I couldn’t remember exactly what happened so I just had to wing it.
It was a bit problematic too, as one of the major choices you make in this episode focuses on something that happened in the previous episode. Even with the little catch-up intro video, I was having trouble remembering what I did in the last episode. Really, the only issue I have with Tales From The Borderlands is that the wait between episodes is ridiculously long. From a buttery smooth performance to silly characters, it all just comes together to build a fantastically fun experience.Įpisode 3 is visually refreshing, considering the desert is a Borderlands staple.
Everything that Game of Thrones does right, Tales From The Borderlands does better. Everything that Game of Thrones lacks, Tales From The Borderlands has.
Tales from the borderlands episode 3 intro series#
As much as I love the Game of Thrones franchise, that series just can’t even compare to Tales From The Borderlands. I’ve maintained in my reviews of the first two episodes that Tales From The Borderlands is Telltale’s best series, and Episode 3 cements that opinion even further. From the snappy one-liners, to some fun jabs at the game overall (Telltale’s signature “XYZ will remember that” notices are even poked fun at), Episode 3 had me chuckling to myself the entire way through the game. The excellent writing as well as a few cameos by Borderlands alumni characters kept me well entertained throughout the entire episode. The story of Rhys, Fiona, Sasha, Vaughn, and, my personal favorite, Loader Bot, continues in another action packed episode that takes the gang to some surprisingly colorful locations this time around. Almost four months (four months!) since the last episode’s release, Tales from the Borderlands Episode 3 ,”Catch a Ride,” is finally here.
