Borderlands Confession Thread ( Revived for episode 5 )
I haven't seen a confession thread for TFTBL so I've decided to make one....
A thread to share what you like/dislike about the Borderlands franchise, to share opinions and of course confessions.
I'll start I guess
- Ever Since I heard Chris Hardwick is Vaughn's voice actor it makes me now want to watch The Talking dead
- I ship Lilith and Mordecai
- I like Pickle
- One of my favorite quotes from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is "Booty Souffle"
- My favorite Tiny Tina quote is "Did you guys ever "Hang out" if you know what I mean"
- Undead Ned was my favorite boss fight in the franchise, my second would have to be the Zarpedon boss fight
- I'd like to think that in Borderlands 3 you'd get to be more interactive at the bar like buy an actual drink that doesn't boost your stats, eat food and play mini games with the citizens(like darts.etc)of whatever the main hub is gonna be in BL3
- I like how Gearbox decided on Borderlands to be cell-shaded last minute unlike how they originally had with realistic graphics
- I wish in BL3 you could have the option to add silencers to guns in case you want to go stealthy, and/or change melee weapons

Part of me still wants to know what borderlands pre cell-shaded was like.
Borderlands is the reason I game. Not the reason I bought an xbox, however. I got an xbox, and like all 10 year olds, only played CoD(Not actual gaming). I know, I know, I'm a fag and all, but then I found Borderlands. It's the reason I got BL2, which lead to me getting BL:TPS(HUGE disappointment btw), and the reason I got Tales. When I got Tales, I loved it so much, I had to get TWD: S1, TWAU, and GoT, for obvious reasons. Love them all. But Borderlands is and will always be my favorite game franchise ever. I fucking love you, Randy Pitchford.
Oh yea and for a confession, I never finished BL1 completely
BAD.
"Holy nutballs! What happened to your frickin' face?!"
I find Handsome Jack and Timothy Lawrence-- I mean, Jack2.0, to be both equally as funny.
You know I remember that trailer seeming a lot cooler...
I was super dissapointed with BL:TPS when I first finished it, but after I moved on from it, it's become one of my go to games when I'm bored (I have more time on it than BL2)
Everytime I get to the Wildlife Explotation Facility I have to take a break because I hate that part of the game. (The whole middle of the game kind of bores me tbh.)
I was really bothered by Mr. Blake before I played the Robolution DLC because I had only heard him in BL2. Now I want to see him more.
I've bought BL three times, BL2 at least six times, and TPS six times. And then I have a copy of the Handsome Jack collection and have probably bought Tales six times as well. (If you're wondering, yes, most of those went to friends, and were all digital. I have a physical copies of BL, BL2, and the Handsome Jack collection.) (And I got most of them off steam sales.)
My mom and I usually play videogames together but she never wanted to play Borderlands because she hates shooters, so when TFTBL came out I was so eager to show her as graphic adventures are her favorite kind of games. But, she said she would only play it if it's a feel-good comedy because she's tired of dramas, and I was like "yeah, totally, no crying in this one". So in the first two episodes she falls in love with Vasquez (it's a long story, basically she knows someone IRL whose name is also Hugo Vasquez and he's special to her) and in episode 3 she was SO UPSET and replayed the scene 5 times to see if it was possible to avoid his fate. And now she's like "WHY... I TRUSTED YOU...".
And it's probably going to be even worse when she plays episode 4.
-- I like Jack in the Pre-Sequel. Not even 'I hate him so much I like him' but I actually do like him and kind of feel bad for him. I tend to consider him separately from Handsome Jack even though I realize he was never a particularly great guy.
"I'm sorry, I don't know who that is! I know who HANDSOME Jack is, though!"- quote a la the man himself
-- I ship Rhysha because I think it's cute and don't understand where Rhyiona comes from. But most of all I really like Sasha and hope for her to be happy and find a way off of Pandora even if she doesn't like Rhys. It makes me very sad that so many people hate her and want her dead because they feel like the pairing was forced
-- I want Handsome Rhys to become a thing and stay a thing after the end of Tales. I like it in stories when people who don't like each other are forced to share headspace. Yu-gi-oh was frustrating because I was like, "Why is he just FINE with letting this old Egyptian dude take over his body? He should be upset about it, it's his body! Ugh!"
-- I also liked Pickle. But I didn't really like Tiny Tina. ...Whoops.
I never actually knew TftB was a Telltale game when I first heard about it, I just thought it was Borderlands 2 DLC.
Then some time later, I find the game on PSN, and I decide to buy it.
Never hearing about it caused me to not know Handsome Jack was in it, so you could guess how shocked I was when I see him and he says, "And then I'll probably kill you."
(Keep seeing these big lists lmao. I might make a big list )
This will be for TFTB only. The BL2 and TPS ones would take far, far too long to list right now.
You have list envy.
Ok, here I go...
Borderlands
TFTB
Ohhh UVHM in BL2 was Hell the first time i played it! You Are forced to use slag. Or you Need to have the best gear in the Game. It's Far more enjoyable in TPS thanks to no Health Regeneration for enemys! And yes, Timothy is the Most OP character in the Game, well Next to nisha of course. Damnit! Because of you i want to Play it again. Choke on that like!
Ah, yes, Timothy... at some point I found myself going 'I could shoot those enemies, I guess... but why waste ammo? Action skill - badass Jacks - recall - reduced cooldown - action skill - rinse, repeat...' while I looted containers and gathered drops. It even works on the raid boss.
Actually still fun tho.
UVHM with Athena was great for me so far (I haven't completed UVHM though yet since I got my PC back and I stopped using my PS4 for a while) but so far the only pain in the ass was deadlift.
Yeah, UVHM is nearly impossible for me. I'm playing as Zer0 and my money supply has been nearly depleted as result of respawns and buying more ammunition. I knew it would be hard, just not that hard.
I have pretty good gear in bl2, i think i need to stop using the bee and instead switch to a shield with more capacity.. i'm too used to the nice extra damage :'D I'm totally gonna try again though! i'm glad im not alone with that experience : >
Oh yes, deadlift was annoying even with timothy.. instant shield depletion, ugh..
lost a ton of money, but after some tries i beat him : > an electric rosie is really useful in that fight !
I feel like i take a lot of damage as Zer0 and die really quickly (probably because i still use the bee instead of a shield with higher capacity..)
good luck with your run though : 3 i'm gonna try it again soon myself!
I have killed face mcshooty a disturbing amount of times.
It's a good thing his name was Face and not Richard.
Oh my god your mom is so awesome ;D My mom would never get invested in videogames..
I once showed my Gortys drawings to my mom and she said "Is that a monkey?" xD And I'm not a bad drawer..
I would try to get a New Bee shield every 5 Levels. Because you don't really Need a shield because enemies will shoot it down within a Second. But you Cant get 1 shotted thanks to The Healthgate mechanic. So get yourself a Chain Lightning granade from Tiny Tinas Dlc, while equipping the grogg nozzle and you can instantly heal yourself with one granade throw!
i liked the pre sequel .
(i really liked how the vault hunters in TPS talked and interacted with a lot of things. going back to BL2 i missed their banter between other characters and NPCs .Also timothy was awesome)
i refuse to use shotguns. idk why
I like Rhys a little more than Fiona... still like her though.

I may have shot him there anyway...oops.
Is this supposed to look like this? Or is it a problem with my browser?
Only 5 minutes? Dude, I tried using a rocket launcher, melee attacks, a pistol, a SMG, and a sniper on her for like 10 minutes, it didn't work.
.its supposed to
And just like that I have a new OTP...
You should start a thread.
I literally do not use Moxxi's for how game-crushing they are like this.
Zer0/Athena ship?
Oh my god. Not episode 4. Skip that one or your mom might hate you.
