![]() Xbox One or PS4 Tales from the Borderlands Season Pass owners can redeem their loot in the The Handsome Collection on the same platform.Note that your Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel unlocks will be tied to the platform on which you own the Tales from the Borderlands Season Pass for.

You will travel to a lot of old and familiar locales, meet some familiar faces, and even have a heart to heart with bandits and psychos.Users who have purchased the Season Pass for Tales From the Borderlands are eligible for rewards in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Telltale went a long way to make this game look like the iconic Borderlands universe that we know and love, and for the most part it succeeds. “Well… yeah… I mean I could have died…” Rhys says, backpedaling. “Then he swung a cleaver into your face and you died?” you might hear someone ask if you fail a quicktime event. Even death conditions utilize this storytelling device to great effect. This is one of the main sources of humor in the game and it works perfectly. So you’ll frequently find the game cutting, rewinding, and playing out differently as one corrects the other. Rhys and Fiona keep lying to make themselves seem cooler than they actually are. Instead, the thing we focus on is how the story keeps changing. What the heck is that project? We don’t know! Actually… we barely care! And that’s the fun part! Rhys and Fiona just so happen to be tied up, and a man with a rifle wants them very, very badly to tell them about something called the Gortys project. The whole tale is being told in the form of a story recap, much how Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was. But this style of writing works perfectly in the Telltale formula. It’s really more of an action comedy, with emphasis on the comedy. Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 1 - Zero Sum isn’t a mystery or a horror or a drama. You can enjoy the game without having played Borderlands, but it’s obvious that the ultra-fans will be getting the most mileage out of this series. ![]() The plot itself makes references all the way back to Borderlands 1, bringing up some stuff that even I forgot about. In fact, Nakayama is a serious plot point in this game so if you didn’t play his DLC, you actually kind of miss quite a bit. Right at the beginning of the game you are introduced to Shade, who was a character from a DLC pack, along with Bewm, a beginning of the game boss, and the corpse of Professor Nakayama, another characters from a DLC pack. The more you are a fan, the more the game appeals to you. In fact, the game itself is greatly enhanced by being a fan of Borderlands. But seriously though, Handsome Jack fans will love this game. HANDSOME JACK MAY BE MAKING A RETURN! There. The story follows the misadventures of this unlikely band of brothers as they search for fame and fortune (mostly just fortune) on the bandit ridden surface of Pandora.Īnd this is where I practically bite my tongue off to avoid telling you all the awesome spoilers I have rattling up inside my noggin. Rhys is joined by Vaugh, a weedy little accountant who is just dying to screw over a rival Hyperion bigwig, and Fiona is joined by Sasha, her partner and sister in crime. Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 1 - Zero Sum puts you in control of two main characters-Rhys, a businessman from Hyperion that is looking to take Handsome Jack’s place after his demise at the end of Borderlands 2 and Fiona, a con-woman looking to make a quick buck off of Hyperion’s current disorder. The big ten million bullet question here is does Telltale’s point and click cinematic choice based formula hold up when lives aren’t on the line, and the answer is… EXPLOSIONS!!! Heads explode, bodies are electrocuted, robots are torn limb from limb, and there is just so much murder you could use the corpses to build your very own meat bicycle. ![]() NOPE! This is the Borderlands universe! People die left and right and nobody cares. You’d think this means that they were bringing us a serious game about moral choice where people will die based on tough decisions that you make. Tales From the Borderlands is the latest game from Telltale, the studio that brought you The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us.
