TT already did a good job on pleasing both comics and "casual" fans on TWAU, so I guess the same will happen with Borderlands. Although it would be very nice to play the games, principally to get used to the universe and characters.
I myself am not a action gamer, and I wouldn't have believed it if somebody told me that I would love a chaotic free-for-all fps with Diablo-like random weapon drops. I will say that the picture you get of the world from the Telltale trailer is very different from what you get in the original games. And the games are full of various lore, so that I'm glad I took the time to track down and play them (actually, in fact, I got them from Steam during their holiday sales.)
I dont think you will. I'm a huge Borderlands fan and if you have any interest in playing, play Borderlands 2. You can skip 1. I think they were great, but after playing the second, i struggle going back to the first. I can't wait for this though
Played the Walking Dead Game first, and then watched the TV Series, no comics yet :(
But I didn't have to watch the TV series or read the comics of the Walking dead, to play the game.
Different characters and a different story, so I think this one is different too :3
Ill be playing the game without any prior experience with Borderlands, so I hope not. I did the same with The Wolf Among us, not knowing a thing about Fables, and that turned out great as I love that game, so I'm not too worried about it.
BL1 and BL2 are very different in tone, and BL1's story is weaker; mainly because about 75% of dialogue wasn't voiced.
BL1 was a gritty, isolated, lonely-feeling world with elements of black comedy mixed in. The latter half of the game, when combined with the soundtrack, makes you feel very alone on what feels like an uncharted planet, at least when not playing co-op.
BL2 on the other hand is brighter, busier, more alive, and more happy-go-lucky.
In retrospect I actually prefer BL1's tone, but BL2 is just a better-built game altogether. I'd say that if you can find 3 friends, play BL1, but if not, don't bother. You can play BL2 solo and still have fun. But co-op generally makes the game better.
I tried to play borderlands 2... I got stuck on about the 10 "fight" because I had some of the worst weapons in the game, I couldn't back out so I was in an infinity loop, so I gave up on it. I didn't like it personally, each to their own.
I played borderlands but I payed like 0 attention to the story and can't really remember any of the characters other than clap trap and handsome jack, since I played with long gaps since I'm not really into its sort of gameplay and my friends didn't play it so i played it on my own. I have a feeling they're gonna throw in a few borderlands characters in there, but who knows. They could go like TWAU where basically all the characters are from the base material or TWD where almost none of the characters are from the base material.

I really hope not. I don't think you do, but it would would be a deal breaker for me as I haven't played the others either.
Nah, I don't think so.

Well, Borderland ones have most basic a story: You Hero, Go Find The Vault of Goodies.
And Borderlands twos plot is more or less the same, but there's Jack.
So there would not be much to know.
I think you should, just so you disappoint yourself right now and not when you play Tales from the Borderlands.
But I didn't have to watch the TV series or read the comics of the Walking dead, to play the game.

The game is based upon after Borderlands 2 and its DLC.
yoou dont need to but you should play at least bl 2 cause that game is the shiz

I wouldn't suggest playing the first one.The second game,yes.It's a fun roleplaying game with a cool story.
