Borderlands 2 | Krieg's Road To OP10 | Episode #1

[@Joltzdude139]

Let's do this! I hope you guys don't mind the different style for the playthrough videos. If I want to survive the next many years until BL4 drops, I need to pace my content differently and not overly grind out runs. Thanks for sticking around for so many years

[@Shelpta]

Havent played in awhile, im still sad about technos death and its been hard for me to play again, any tips on UVHM Zer0? I think im using Maggie and some random shields, its working fast but it isnt good for getting into Bunker ( not killing bunker ) - also I actually enjoy these alot more then before, its really nice

[@laserlazer852]

I love you videos I want to be as good as you

[@towablemeat3913]

Not only am I so thrilled to watch a Krieg playthrough again, I’m so excited to see a new style of video too!

[@bluesoul7996]

Pace yourself and take as many breaks as you need Joltz

[@hauntedastolfobeanplush8642]

Take care of yourself buddy, take as much time as you like

[@SMKenward]

This slow relaxing pace is sooooo satisfying. Hearing you talk about things that people who don't watch the streams and stuff wouldn't normally be able to ask about and seeing things go at a casual speed just feels unreasonably cathartic

[@scattergrunt]

A good slowed paced playthrough is what people seemly want right now, which is good because I was worried the KZbin algorithm would kill his video because it was slower-paced

[@DootyDuck]

@@scattergrunt im new here cuz of the algo, playing bl3 so youtube dosed me up i guess

[@scattergrunt]

@@DootyDuck that's cool, most of the time the KZbin algorithm likes consistentcy and joltz usually uploads decently frequently & with decent length playthrough videos, while these videos will be longer, not as fast paced, and there will be more parts overall

So glad you’re back at it & doing it in a fun way we haven’t seen in a while/ever for some. Please please please keep making play throughs. Even if you had your stream overlays while you’re playing this & talking with chat I think you’d find success & appreciation from your fans. I’m gonna watch that’s for sure!

Joltz, I've been following you for a while now (silenty) but do whatever you want man. I've been loving content for 4 or so years now. You gotta enjoy what you do, any content is good for me! Hearing your voice in an enthusiastic way, is more important for me than the content itself :D

[@MiniRokys]

Today I was thinking about your playthroughs, well, here they are! I'm really glad you found a way how to proceed :) good luck Joltz! looking forward to more!

[@Joltzdude139]

Thanks

[@ariyatristan1628]

[@brettrossi034]

Everyone in your community loves you and supports you. Hopefully the change helps your burnout and gets you feeling better mentally and physically. ❤️

[@anzullic]

Krieg is my favorite video game character. I'm so glad he got 27 minutes of dialog where other vault hunters only have 10 minutes. Also him getting his own DLC in BL3 is very pog.

[@gaelicsmurf8742]

I'm so psyched to watch you just enjoy the game. After all the years you've given us tutorials, gear guides, build guides and countless different restricted runs I just want to sit back and watch you enjoy playing the game for fun. You deserve it after all you've given the community.

[@jasongard1536]

I’ve been watching you since I was about 13 or 14, I’m 17 turning 18 in December now! Your content will never get old to me, you have a love and passion for this game the same as a lot of us, we play because it’s nostalgic and really well made, don’t get to hard on yourself if you think your not doing enough or over doing it, take some time and do it at your pace, we’ll all be here waiting peacefully 🤙🏾💜

I feel like this is the perfect decision for you to make, man. No need to bust out crazy loads of content that bend you back sideways and over again. This down to earth simple style of video is very soothing and just enjoyable to watch, especially because us KZbin goers get to hear more of the real you and not just the ups in highlights! Glad your eye situation has cleared up as well, very glad that I joined your Discord to stay caught up with things. Looking forward to the rest of this series, saving episode two for when I get home from work!

No music, time really have changed! Glad to see you back, Joltz! I'm looking forward to chilling times with Krieg and Joltz (:

[@clintbeastwood5116]

The eternal struggle of the artist: when your passion becomes your job. Are you doing it because you love it or because you have to? Thankfully, you've already built a large and supportive audience who just wanna see you do you.

[@BruTwo]

I still remember my first playthrough of this game, for some reason this slower intro brought me back to discovering this game for the first time and i love it

It’s always a rush of joy when Joltz posts another series episode, love these videos :)

[@Ramskull5]

Been watching and playing borderlands 2 since the Yoteslaya days and lemme tell you joltz, you have helped this community so much since you've started and we all appreciate it, if you feel like you are burnt out take the MUCH deserved break you need man, I think everyone would support you

[@oboeshoesgames]

This is a good way to go forward I think, non-edited let's plays are way lower stakes and I think most people are here for your personality rather than Borderlands 2 Pro Tips anyways. (and if you wanna make some vids with minimal editing you could play New Tales...)

Am so excited to see you back Joltz. Also really looking forward to the more casual style content. And longer vids are always a bonus. I don't have time to watch a 4 hour stream but 15 minutes of Joltz wasn't enough

[@jpperron1835]

Personally I really like that I found this! BL videos are usually highlight videos or build videos. I like to follow along sometimes particularly on characters I rarely use. So I just wanted to say I really appreciated this series

[@SynthesizePW]

I honestly prefer more raw footage than a lot of jump cuts. I’m excited for the new change and hope this series pans out well for you joltz!

[@kirbyeatingburgies827]

I would literally watch this man watch play anything anyway he wanted borderlands changed my life and I've met so many cool people from this community so im glad your taking your time playing the game we've all grown to love honestly the greatest KZbinr ever

[@gadelampe]

Amazing to have you back this way, though it does feel weird almost without your background tracks. In any capacity, I can't wait to see you and your videos thrive again.

[@tim3046]

I love that I've been here for a few years and Joltz still explains everything. And Im being genuine. Hearing the weapon part explanations multiple times is how I remember them off hand

[@jadendobbs]

I love this new format! I can understand more of what you're doing instead of you just zooming through, the only thing I would like more is to maybe add some background music to fill in the more quiet parts. Besides that, this is awesome and do whatever you need to avoid burnout.

[@garyofoz]

Joltz, I love the new leisurely approach . My head was spinning trying to take it all in from some of you jam packed (and wonderful videos). Playthroughs for mortals. Count me in. I, like you , have tried other games, but, 13 years on, keep coming back to Borderlands . Great to have you back.

[@kainepeterson6638]

This is honestly awesome. It feels so much more intimate than the heavily edited stuff. I love both for different reasons, but they’re both awesome. Just happy to see an upload from you Joltz!

This really takes me back to older KZbinrs I used to watch who did this style of video with BL1. Thank you for the nostalgia I really needed that feeling right now

This new video style seems like it will be cool. But There’s something scary about the lack of the stream music.

Yeah. Sounds so different. Not a fan so far. Maybe this will get better but this seems like a tutorial. And I think most of u know all this stuff already. I miss the humor

[@WyBob]

It's super helpful that you are actually explaining the things you are going for. Because for example, I never really understood the thing with matching grip because documentation on this game is a little inconsistent. So hopefully you're enjoying yourself as much as I'm enjoying learning!

[@Theflywhiteboy12]

Saw your community post, and honestly, idc how you do your videos. I love your content surrounding borderlands and what you bring to the community. I love seeing these videos/gameplays come out and seeing content creators like yourself who have the same passion I did for this game when I was a 14 year old playing it on the Xbox 360 for the first time lol.

[@hondsdollekat]

YES, new playthrough! I'm gonna play along this time. I never really played as Krieg so it'll be extra fun.

[@Kankerpatient123]

I’m glad you made this change you sound more calm and authentic. When you’re playing at your normal pace you sound more frantic and energetic but never thought it was superficial but parts of it seem to be seeing this calm slowed approach. Or your old play style and commentary style are all authentic and rn your mental health and love for bl2 has inevitably deteriorated

[@iamgreymars]

[@Flegado]

This format is actually pretty awesome. Just chill content not too much in a single video and some deeper info inbetween.

[@jacksonhardaker2520]

the tidbits of information were the highlights from this style of video for me. great work joltz

[@Zeddable284]

Honestly, sometimes the challenge/allegiance stuff was fun but this is the kind of stuff going enjoy most: a casual playthrough with tips and tricks and explanations on how and why you do certain things in the run. Would love to see you do this style of series for all the characters across all the bl games at some point

[@SkyeBerryJam]

I love how you're explaining things because sometimes I watch these videos and try to replicate the builds (usually yours work about as expected but even then) and I can't get the same consistently good damage or health Regen and die repeatedly

[@TitoMcFadden]

I gotta say, that I like this style. Especially for an OP 10 Krieg run because I abandoned my playthrough after OP 6 or OP 7. With this laid back and thorough style of commentary, I can follow along, learn some stuff, and be entertained at the same time. Maybe I'll finally understand how to play with Krieg in late OP levels if I keep watching

[@lavae347]

bro this isn't a stream had me shook for a second but i understand and i respect it and appreciate it more than you would think this is super cool and i feel the same about most my games rn. Goodluck and thank you for being here

I love the style of the video, I’ve always watched your other play through videos that are snippets of your stream and it’s always entertaining. But I like this so much more! It did always feel like you were going a million miles an hour, so this is nice and refreshing. I love how detailed you are with BL and getting 20-25 minute play through videos are AMAZING!!
