Best Friends Play Tales from the Borderlands (Part 19)

[@elrowlight4639]

Wow, look at that. It doesn't sandbag that LED on his forehead and actually makes it an emotional and rather painful looking moment rather than making you question why its an easily removable sticker.

[@aftertraveler]

before and much better execution than detroit ever could

[@garrettcarter2959]

Meh, they're robots, they don't feel pain. Except when the plot needs them to.

[@Dragonage2ftw]

The point is that the Detroit ones are cheap and shitty.

[@HighwaterTrousers]

Fun Fact: Tales of the Borderlands was meant to stop much earlier as the upper management at Telltale saw it as a commercial failure. (By this point Minecraft Story Mode and The Walking Dead Season 1 were selling like hot cakes.) Lead writers and director Nick and Pierre stated later that they had to call in all their favors and cash in their years of hard work, just to convince management to let them finish the last episode with a skeleton crew, as their team was already being transferred to other games, like Minecraft. So what ended up happening was only a few key dedicated members, spending nights working overtime to finish the game, while receiving no compensation according to some and juggling the other projects management wanted from them.

[@-TPLT]

The true Vault Hunters of the story.

[@akrasia1588]

That’s pretty rad. Man these developers are so cool. They are the true hero’s of this game. Imagine a telltale game about being a employee at telltale

[@606hunter1]

Akrasia that's what this game is

[@lw4499]

+Akrasia Isn't that this one?

[@arn1345]

[@altoid345b]

Rhys is canonically Left handed. Its why he takes so long to use it. Punching, breaking things. Left isnt his dominant hand for those things originally

[@YorkJonhson]

That's a cool detail. I always just sort of assumed that he was slow to use it because it was designed for office work, not combat. Like being expected to slap someone around with your laptop.

[@Gilbals]

I'm left handed, but if my right arm was a BIONIC ROBOT ARM I'd probably adapt to be right handed.

[@jjj7790]

I would design my supers around my BIONIC ROBOT ARM.

[@1ishful]

GOD, I FREAKING LOVE JACK’S CHARACTER! This Jack is so unbelievably different from the end of BL2 that it hurts. This Jack was unaware of what had happened to his daughter and was still the Jack from most of Borderlands. The Jack at the end of BL2 is a completely delusional character that has doubly reinforced his hero complex due to the death of his daughter at the hands of his former best friends (and former lover) who betrayed him. At the end of BL2, he just talks to you in circles about how he can’t die to the Vault Hunters because he was the hero and they were the bandits. He goes on and on about the story not being the way it was supposed to be and you ultimately get a decision to either kill him yourself or let Lilith do it. In this game, Jack looks like he’s thought about how the world probably looked at him and it seems like he was genuinely understanding of how things went wrong. And then he tries to get one last little trick down and kill Rhys before he dies as well. I don’t know if he actually was able to look back and see where it went wrong but man is it one of the best points of Jack’s character throughout all of the games. The sheer difference between his two deaths is incredibly awesome in so many ways. One is him stubbornly refusing the end of his made-up hero story and the other reads more like a tragedy with the hero recognising that he might not have been the hero he thought he was all along. Either way, each of his deaths serve to really show you what Jack’s character truly is. AND I FREAKING LOVE IT!

[@suddenllybah]

Part of me really wants to track the timeline of what hologram-Jack knows. Like, at first, he doesn't even know he is a hologram and that the original dead, but eventually he figures stuff out. I suppose at the end, he has figured out that Angel betrayed him, but by not having the thing happen right in front of him, he gets kinda detached from it, and doesn't freak out about being a hero.

[@zachataxxii7126]

@@suddenllybah He learns about what happens to Angel by checking the Helios database if you ask him about it. Safe to assume Holo-Jack learns just about everything in BL2 once he controls Hellos.

[@jessekononen3954]

Well, the Vault Hun.. bandits are pretty much grave robbers, and Jack doesn't want these bandits to get their hands on the secrets of a Vault, so obviously he thinks of himself as a hero, which he in a twisted way is. He suffers from personality disorders, but he isn't really worse than the main characters in Borderlands in terms of what he does.

[@ryanklip24]

suddenllybah if you pick the “your daughter betrayed you?” Option, he says that in the time he’s been in the Helios network, he read up on everything that happened to him. So I think pre-Helios plug, he just knows whenever Nakyama made the copy. Like, he’s BL2 jack but doesn’t know he died and it’s before all the main shit goes down.

[@BlackSabbath628]

Eh, I wouldn't say he's great. He's interesting, but he's too stupid kick-the-puppy-for-teh-evuls evil for my liking. He has potential, but he's not well handled. They do handle him a bit better here, but in BL2 and TPS he doesn't feel right. Like, a lot of his "mastermind" schemes have obvious drawbacks to them. For example, he has a massive army of robots and he knows where the enemy base is, he knows the shields are grabbing out and he knows there aren't many defenders. Does he rush the enemy base and besiege them? No. He pokes them occasionally with orbital bombardments and hatches a convoluted plot that involves getting his most feared soldier getting killed, that ultimately fails. That is dumb. I do not consider characters who dumb things to be great, especially if the writer is trying to get me to believe he's some sort of evil genius. His backstory isn't right either. Where did he get the funding to build a containment field for Angel's Siren power? How did Hyperion not find out about her? If they did know, why didn't they just kill Jack so that the only family Angel knows is Hyperion? Its something that they really should have developed further. As I said, great potential, sloppy execution.

[@-TPLT]

Everyone in the story gives Rhys shit for his decisions, but man, what he had to do to get rid of Jack was terrible. I mean, he got better obviously, but imagine getting a computer virus in your body and needing to remove the infected hardware. That sucks. I like how Matt and Woolie are at first like, "This is like Detroit!" then he pulls out his cybernetics from his head and eye.

[@pareidolist]

"Get out of my _fucking_ head!"

[@dragonflight2468]

"Man this is so JUST LIkE DETRio--" *Rhys has to pull out his own eye* "Oooooooooook nevermind."

[@SteelBallRun1890]

Woolie would sell out humanity for a jetpack while Matt would sell us out for actual monsters, probably of the Kaiju variety. To be fair, this isn't a revelation when you see the way he looks at Godzilla.

[@Yasahiro1011]

Rohan Kishibe and 『Heaven's Door』 he just wants his wife to be a giant woman, y'know?

[@heymay724]

lets not forget how pat would sell out everyone for one extra second

[@darrianweathington1923]

Rohan Kishibe and 『Heaven's Door』 so the question is. Normal Aliens vs normal army. Or giant aliens vs giant robot army.

[@BlackSabbath628]

Oh come on, you mean you don't want to see a kaijuu battle whilst wearing a jetpack? That's awesome.

[@BlackSabbath628]

He would sell out the universe just to become an immortal toilet.

[@GoldLight73]

I love how Matt and Woolie are talking about giant robots fighting giant monsters mere moments before that actually happens.

[@millionshots2epic163]

STARING: Mother base. Punished "Ripped" Vaughn: an accountant denied his severance pay. Big Rhys: The former janitor/presiden. "The man who sold hyperion" SKULL JACK: A digital phantom denied his vault. (Again) Metal Gear Gortis: A Damn good vault bot.

[@Kcbookguru]

Man that bit with jack is actually pretty emotional

[@immortalweapon]

There's a real humanizing moment if you ask about his daughters betrayal.

[@canyounot1552]

I know Right? When Jack was on his knees begging Rhys to not pull out it retina scanner, i nearly teared up at that moment. I cared for Jack THAT much.

[@WakkaMadeInYevon]

The game finale of something that was nearly cancelled is about sending a corporation crashing down and freeing the employees of their shackles? Gosh, almost makes you wonder if, like, there was internal conflict making this. Like, the management didn't respect the people making it? Ah but that couldn't possibly be the case, could it?

[@LittleMountain90]

10:38 - THAT WAS THE RIGHT LINE TO PICK MATT That entire sequence is *hands down* my favorite scene in all of Borderlands, not to mention one of my favorite scenes in video games period. Hot damn, I love it.

[@cyberninjazero5659]

Eh it's no Metroplex heeds the call of the Last Prime.

[@gabrieleriva651]

I'm partial to "Goodbye". Rhys has matured "thanks" to Handsome Jack as a negative example.

[@InugamiTheHound]

the LP has been redeemed sum what because of that one decision matt made was correct for once.

[@Nobody-ve6dh]

"It's not like they said. There's nothing there" is some Soma level existential horror tightly wrapped up in a couple lines of dialogue. So strong.

[@HibariSama]

Calling Handsome Jack "the Nobunaga of space" is the most amazing and accurate thing I've ever heard in my life. Like that fits together like a puzzle piece!

[@Flackon]

Lucky hit considering it was a straight association from reading the word "ambition"

[@HibariSama]

@@Flackon Lol this is true!

[@BlackSabbath628]

It is actually really accurate. Nobunaga is even known as the bloodiest of the daimyos, and was eventually betrayed by one of his closest generals.

[@josh-oo]

@@BlackSabbath628 He was also a man of culture. A profound philosopher, loyal husband, and a kind master to those loyal to him. Both interpretations are accurate and true. The same can't be said of Jack. He's a cool character, and the ambition comparison works, but I wouldn't call him the Nobunaga of space.

[@BlackSabbath628]

Yeah, ok that's true. Handsome Jack is a bit of a vulgar prick who apparently now has a penchant for betrayal when you'd think that he'd hate that sort of thing, given his history and all. I really don't like how they went out of their way to give Jack hardly any redeeming features, and the ones they do give him have a caveat associated with it. Makes him less of a character and more of caricature. Seriously, he needs that mustache to twirl. Just a big dumb mustache on that mask.

[@taumpytears]

Goddamn, this whole story of inter-planetary corporate douchery is much more closer to earth than I thought. I can totally see Assquez being a type of upper management in Telltale, the crashing of Helios being the end of Telltale, and Bad-ass Vaughn being studios who hired ex-Telltale employees in the aftermath.

[@fillosof66689]

AYAYA Clap they were this close to making it even more prophetic by making Tell Tales the part of the credit sequence that gets placed on the ship and breaks in half.

[@comeonnodont5569]

"itd be cool if he was loader bot..." I call bs, woolie had to spoil that for himself

@Dajinn No chance.

[@drinklewinkle]

It sucks Matt and Wools don't really have as much hype for that final jack moment, seeing jack actually be somewhat sorry even if it is to catch you off guard blew my mind the first time I saw it. It's such a big moment, because of how shitty he was before. Jack's a cool character is what i'm saying.

[@logandh2]

Rhys’ robot arm sandbagging is like if Jax decided to only kickbox

[@julianmarquez7962]

More like if he decided to be really into tae kwon do.

[@garrettcarter2959]

Okay, Woolie knows. Woolie absolutely knows and has been setting Matt up for the reveal for a while now. It's the same thing Arin did to Dan when they played Shadow of the Colossus. "Did you know that was gonna happen?" "Nooooo................yes."

Kudos to Telltale for giving Jack a far better end than Borderlands 2.

[@Xersias]

Bordelands 2 did give a very cathartic end for the player, however story wise I'd say this is a more satisfying one long term as well as a great goodbye.

[@koto2211]

@@Xersias Ohh totally. I was ready for some lame fight but the entire build up with Jack becoming more crazed after Control Core Angel was such a huge hype. The fight was absolutely amazing for the build up. "Ooh you feel that? That electricity in the air when you're just aching to kill someone?" It was such a generic good guy vs bad guy but damn if it didnt felt good.

[@sarafontanini7051]

No, vaults are never worth the effort. But I guess the promise of infinite money gives treasure hunters a boner that not even the biggest Kaiju can soften.

[@2Eliishere]

Eh. If you have a good shield and a good gun its EZ LOOT tbh. I open a vault just to get a nice atlus gun.

[@chrisossu2070]

In the second game, Jack wasn't even interested in the treasure. He wanted to use the Vault Guardian to raze the planet so he could rebuild Pandora in his image.

[@yakumoyomi5765]

To me, the Kaiju itself is boner-inducing.

[@julianmarquez7962]

Vaults are essentially the ultimate loot box. Their whole allure relies on "what if" and they're never worth what's inside.

[@ironrhino25]

what if the point if a vault is just to capture extremely large and dangerous creatures? and don't forget the Vault of the Warrior almost looked like a temple

[@Doom_Hawk]

At 1:35 the reason that he doesn't go back to the old version is, I assume, Jack corrupted his systems with the Jack-Apedia or something of the sort. If you don't go with Jack's Plan in Episode 2 by siding with him then he doesn't gain more control and you don't get Jack's own encyclopedia and therefore you don't get the errors like what we see in this video.

[@JonVonBraun]

20:26 yeah that's the question that always gets asked. Besides the usually in game loot drops story wise it seems like a lotta fuss for more bad things to happen. First vault causes Eridium(alien super element). Jack gets rich off it and then uses Eridium to charge the vault key again to open a different one that is a super Kaiju you control if you open the vault. I guess they are worth it in a grand scheme sorta thing.

[@spartandumpster1158]

If Guillermo Del Torro created and set monsters loose, my reaction would be more like "wow, you're a dick". However, if he did this mix of Saw and Resident Evil, where he has places, like a mansion out in a mountain forest, where he locks people in with one or more of these monsters so he can film it and make more realistic movies, I'd have a bigger problem with that. I think it's because, if he just set them loose on the world, what would he have to gain from that? That would just be basic, generic villain stuff, he's probably doing it just cause he can. If he was kidnapping people so he could make a movie of them either dying or escaping the monsters, he'd have proper motivation as a total psycho.

[@rishnix]

Jack has a point, really. We like to think we're the heroes here. And, while we do turn into that very later on, at the beginning both Rhys and Fiona are doing the things they're doing for very selfish reasons.

"Are vaults worth it?" Not really all vaults so far have a monster(even by Pandora/borderland standards) guarding it and the loot in game is just guns of varying quality with money and in 2 eridium.

That's not all. The vault from BL1 also released Eridium, which is how Hyperion became so powerful in the first place. The one from BLPS contained kbowledge and the ability to see future events. The one from BL2 had a map with all the other vaults in the universe.

The spookiest end of the biggest villain in the Borderlands Series given to Telltale.
