It’s not challenging and really, it lacks everything I typically like about games: rules to learn and exploit, decision-making and strategy. The action, as usual, is mostly about pressing a key when prompted, or clicking on the thing that needs shooting. (I usually avoid doing that, as it tends to ruin the illusion of choice and consequence.) Looking back, there are all kinds of character interactions I probably didn’t get to see because of my choices, and this is one of the rare times I want to replay a Telltale game to find out what I missed.

Having been told about some of the variables, I’m convinced that the finale can play out in a ton of different ways-even if it probably ends up at the same place. And then there’s the kicker: at the very end, Telltale finally surprised me with a major decision that pulled from all my previous decisions. I do like Rhys’ cyber-vision, though, which offers funny notes about points of interest around him if you remember to use it. I was hoping that manually trying to use items on things in the environment would surprise me, for instance, but I never found that it did anything. New opportunities for comedy, like an inventory system, are rarely used, and only automatically. It’s mostly familiar: shift the tone of a conversation, choose to lie or tell the truth, make a binary choice here and there, and awkwardly poke around small areas until you’ve looked at everything. I like the format, and think it’s still an interesting way to present multiple angles on a plot, but I was a bit disappointed that Telltale didn’t deviate too much from its other games. They all end up running around the dangerous, alien Pandora searching for one of Borderlands’ legendary vaults, getting into death races with bandits, befriending robots, exploring technological ruins, and struggling to balance their ambitions with their consciences-which is where we interact. They’re both on shady ground when they meet, Fiona running a scam with her sister Sasha, and Rhys trying to screw over his corporate Hyperion boss with his best friend Vaughn. They’re a funny, self-interested pair with questionable morals-almost, but not quite a cheeseball bickering anime duo. I love the main characters-Fiona and Rhys-who are sardonic, conflicted, and cute but not nauseatingly so. There are are plenty of gruesome deaths, to be sure, but Telltale has created a stand-alone comedy adventure that succeeds because of great storytelling, not ‘midget psychos’ or freaking Claptrap. It’s not serious, but finds its levity through character-driven jokes more than screaming violence. I've tried using Telltales forums, but all me or the others with the same bug get is the same copy pasted list that does nothing to resolve the problem.It’s a story adventure spin-off which balances Borderlands’ urge to be impressed with itself for using swears with some great new characters and a tinge of sincerity. Due to the game saving between scenes, this has resulted in me having to replay the same conversations over and over and over again before finally making it to the next check point. Rinse and repeat for hours.Įach time I try, the hiccup occurs later and later into the game, but only by about a minute or so. Tried a third time and I made it to the first dialog choice. I tried again, and I made it half way through the intro. When I started the game, it got half a sentence into the intro before the audio hiccuped, the video froze, and a white screen eventually took over. Hey guys, glad to finally have the chance to play Episode 2, but unfortunately I'm having a rather annoying issue with absolutely no luck resolving it.
