[@theotherjared9824]

There hasn't been a backstage crossover in a long time. No real plot, just characters chilling and being themselves outside of their respective elements, talking to each other in playful ways.

[@IAsimov]

I'm not exaggerating when I say this: These games made me happy and kept me sane during the early months of the covid pandemic. Right when I was an anxious mess, locked inside, not knowing what was going to happen, playing this was an honestly relaxing way to pass the time. Ironically enough, it also made me understand probability just as much. I hope that either the reborn company, or another one wishing to make a spiritual sequel, makes a sequel.

[@MetalSocks]

Ah i knew that 900 hours of Borderlands 2 was worth something. Grand video and all. Miss the old Poker Night games, I'm hoping even a third one to launch out of the water but that'll be a blue moon until that happens.

[@MetalSocks]

Oh yeah I suppose also all the console ports for Poker Night 2 were solely for Borderlands 2 unlocks on those. Salt on the wound though, the SHIFT codes (Borderlands' weird social media key system ) expired as I'd assume around the time the games were pulled off, making them unrecoverable on the current console versions. Even PC you can kind of get them through save file editing, so that's a shame I won't get Maya's dumb poker visor.

[@meikkon_]

hey man, thanks for the shout! not sure how i'm only just seeing this. i think we all share the same sentiment - reinstatement (and a third poker night?) would be awesome, there's no other crossover title quite like it. sadly, with all the old staff gone, i don't think LCG entertainment has any serious plans. if they had the passion for it, they could probably re-license the characters from PN1, but i don't see PN2 coming back anytime soon.

[@jameskowanko7574]

Yeah, the rights holders of PK1 are much easier to acquire, outside of the Heavy, they are small comic or internet cartoon properties owned by friendly people who were very involved in PK1. But PK2 is with much larger name characters and franchises with Borderlands, Venture Brothers, Portal, and Army of Darkness. That would likely cost a lot of money to reacquire for little reward

[@WormyJester8]

I bought Poker Night 2 at one of Steam's sales and absolutely loved it (even though I knew nothing about poker). I even thought of a new Poker Night with Lycan from Dota, Bigby Wolf from Fables, Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs and someone else as the 4th one I can't remember at the moment

[@zynet_eseled]

@@Pulpo_Pol needs to be a mix of cartoonish, serious, absurd and straight edge. Have characters who bounce off each other flawlessly. We definitely need an edge lord here to give that comedic platinum cringe of him getting pissed that everyone doesnt believe he has infact done the shit he claims.

[@merpderp06]

I’m glad somebody is giving these games some more time in the spotlight; as someone who found these games long past their takedown from the Steam Store they’ve always intrigued me, and the character dialogue is a big selling point for me personally. And while it is sad that they can’t be purchased anymore, technically you *kind of* can still get them. Steam Keys for both PN1 and PN2 are still out there and alive, which is actually how I got my hands on the games back in 2021 for my birthday; you just have to know where to look for them

[@Bruhster27]

I love cool crossovers like this

[@predator5775]

I'm so glad I bought these games before the whole Tell Tale bankruptcy. I've only gotten some of the items but I still enjoy the character interactions and reacts. I loved the idea of crossing characters just playing a chill game of poker that I ended up making fan art in gmod of what a 3rd Poker Night might have looked like at the time.

[@NotSoMelancholy]

I miss this kinda of game cross promotion. At the end of the day, the goal is the same but I kinda like unlocks being tied to another game rather than just “BUY OUR 90$ CROSS OVER MEGA BUNDLE BEST DEAL!!!” For crossovers

[@lazymansload520]

I asked chat gpt to select characters for a poker night game. It gave me Garrus, the Soldier from tf2, Reagan Ridley from Inside Job, and Blitz from helluva boss. They had some interesting conversations.

[@dylangreen192]

I'd play that

[@absollnk]

As a helluva boss fan I think this would only work if everyone else constantly made fun of blitzo and limited how much he was in control of the conversation

[@lazymansload520]

@@absollnk that’s kinda what happened. His conversations tended to be more of him talking a big game but no one else buying it and everyone being able to easily dissect his claims. There was also a bit where the Blitz mentioned teaming up with the Soldier to steal a horse from Redmond Mann. I’m toying with whether or not I should write an expansion of that idea myself.

[@River_Da_Bunny]

my curiosity wonders how garrus and soldier tf2 conversations would go

[@lazymansload520]

@@River_Da_Bunny The Soldier continued his patriotic rants, now directing them towards Garrus. "You know Garrus, if you ever decide to leave C-Sec, you should consider joining RED. You would make a great addition to our team. Hell, why don’t you ditch your third rate Turian citizenship and become an American!" Garrus sighed, feeling increasingly annoyed by the Soldier's comments. "Thanks for the offer, Soldier, but I'm content with my current job. Besides, I'm not sure I'm cut out for the kind of work you do." "Nonsense!" the Soldier exclaimed. "You're a warrior, Garrus. You belong on the front lines with us, fighting for freedom and democracy." Garrus shook his head. "I appreciate the sentiment, but I think I'll stick to law enforcement." The Soldier wouldn't let it go. "But think of all the benefits of being an American citizen! You get to vote, you get to carry guns, and you get to eat hot dogs whenever you want!" Garrus raised an eyebrow. "I can carry guns and eat hot dogs without being an American citizen, Soldier.” The Soldier stiffened at this. “You’ll be playing for a losing team, Vakarian,” he said, “America could easily break its foot off in Palaven’s ass!” Garrus was about to respond with some very well thought out points about Palaven’s military strength, but a quick look from Reagan made him change his mind. It was clear to both of them that the Soldier would not be dissuaded from his blind patriotism.

[@smugbowkid9919]

Everyone does. Poker Night 2 was like heaven for me as a kid.

[@JonathanJuan]

I remember having a dream lineup for Poker Night 3. I think the roster was like - Sully from Uncharted, Rick from Rick and Morty, Handsome Jack from Borderlands and then Archer from Archer. Oh, and Telltale’s Joker would be the dealer. I always had fun imagining new characters that would be perfect for a sequel. It’s still one of my favorite games to this day.

[@zynet_eseled]

Hell yea. Let's try and raise money for it and see if telltale can get it off the ground

[@zynet_eseled]

Also, heres my interesting lineup. Not a dream one, Idk how that would ever look. Kratos from the reboot god of war trilogy, Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Harley Quinn from her own animated tv series, (yes that one which is rated R. That was fun as hell), and Cortex from Crash Bandicoot.

[@twinzzlers]

Ew no, Rick and Morty ruined it

[@Chowdonut]

ive always been super iffy on a pn3 lineup, but i think wallace from wallace & gromit and lieutenant columbo would be really funny picks. king dice would make for a cool dealer

[@somerandomdude7785]

The problem is, Rick's VA is under fire for his abusive behavior.

[@lampionmancz]

I've bought Poker Night 2 second hand, and it was like 30 bucks, which for me is really expensive. However, the game is so amazing that I've never regretted it. But I do hope that they will both come back to Steam, however as you said, the chance of the second one coming back is not very high, so I wish for at least the first one to come back.

You know something that would be cool? A Poker night 3 with all the previous characters (or at least Brock, ash and heavy) and more others that appear in different levels or switch them around as to add more replayability. Also an online mode would be good because who wouldn't wanna play some poker with the boys as different characters and chat.

There's this online game called Strip Poker Night at the Inventory which well, is exactly what it suggests. You play strip poker with a bunch of characters from video games, anime, whatever. Honestly the nudity in that game isn't that appealing, I feel the real interesting part of that game is that its a poker game where you can choose from dozens of recognizable characters as the opponent with a lot of them having unique interactions with each other. Honestly I would actually like to see a SFW version because the character interactions are more interesting than just the titties.

I had both games, 1 and 2, and I still have 1. I refunded 2 shortly after I bought it cuz (a) it was genuinely pissing me off, and (b) I needed funds for another game. Aaaand then the purge happened without warning. Obviously, good at poker or not, I regret that decision, especially considering the fact that PN2 is the least likely to come back entirely due to Ash (getting Brock should be easy cuz AS is really lenient in terms of who/what they give their game licenses for, and Gearbox is bleeding money from their last Borderlands game, so getting Claptrap should be a piece of cake). But, I am glad I at least got the exclusive weapons, since PN2's shit was purely cosmetics. Really don't wanna pay like 4x the og price or more on the aftermarket for a fucking poker game. Also great video!!!
