Krieg was unfortunately experimented on. "Born to a family of bandits, Krieg endured abuse from his mother who viewed him as a weakling. Spurred by his mother to become stronger, Krieg grew to become one of the strongest members of his family on Pandora. However, his strength was no match for Hyperion's forces when he and many other bandits were taken by Dr. Benedict as experiments to become Psychos subjected to horrible abuse and experiments with the lucky ones being the first to die as each surviving batch only endured even more inhumane experiments where traits like self-harm, suicidal impulses, and reckless behavior were encouraged. Rather than bringing out his psychotic side and destroying his sanity, it only made him feel more powerless. Eventually, a fractured remnant of his psyche, manifesting itself as an "inner voice" in his mind as a means for Krieg's sane side to maintain hope and the will to survive. Learning that he was to be disposed of with the rest of the subjects and Dr. Benedict plans on using children as the next group, he breaks out of the facility and kills Benedict to prevent them from suffering the same fate. However, by that point, Psycho Krieg became the dominant personality and Krieg could no longer communicate properly." -from borderland lore website

Borderlands is a hilarious series and the second game boasts one of the greatest villains ever written: HANDSOME JACK, the CEO of the Hyperion Corporation who really gets under your skin by periodically chirping at you over the ECHOnet and Dameon Clarke delivered a masterful performance! One of his first lines: "HEY! How ---- ahhh these pretzels suck.... so, how's your day been, buddy? We haven't really talked since I left you for dead. Hey, you think you'll freeze to death out there? Nah, probably not. The bandits'll get you first. My day? It's been pretty good. Just bought a pony made of diamonds, because I'm rich. So, you know. That's cool. Kay, bye" You can hear munching, smacking his lips and picking pretzel bits out of his teeth while talking. HE'S AN ASSHOLE, but dang is he ever funny! XD

List of stuff featured here (Important to low key): 1) Sirens: There can exist 6 sirens in the universe at once. Each of these have some sort of psionic ability that bends reality to them (eg, Mayas Phaselock shown in this video). They are identifiable by their tattooes which exist at birth 2) Psychoes: Krieg is one of these. Insane axe wielding madmen with an odd like for Shakespeare. If one of these are running at you either your going to be cut up or he wants to explode on you 3) Rats: Mutants made by hyperion experimentation of the inhumane type. Often varying from one to the next, from tiny midgets to beefy laser eyed mutants. 4) The train: The hyperion occupation of pandora brought along monorail trains, funded and generously provided by the hyperion corporation

BL3 says 8 sirens could exist but since Nyriad(the previous "8th" who some people believe to be the person Krieg was referring to when he said "no last words for the 8th") never said exactly how many sirens were around in her time it's possible there could be more... I am still waiting to find out who "the 7th" is since Nyriad seemed to be scared of this "7th" and the only things she fears are herself and the destroyer with the only thing shes terrified of being "the force opposite of the destroyer" that she mentioned(who some believe to be the 7th also sirens don't have to be born with those powers take Angel Tannis and Ava, for example, they weren't born with those powers they got them when the previous siren with those powers died

Hallelujah I'm so glad you discovered Borderlands!! I myself am replaying Borderlands 2 so I can purchase and play Borderlands 3. To give you a brief understanding about the psychos in this game. pretty much they used to work for different companies that came to Mine, Study, and Inhabit Pandora. Thye were scientists, engineers, and people living on the planet but when the companies gave up and left they abandoned a lot of the people they brought who after years of being trapped on this unforgiving harsh desert planet turned into psychopaths!! Some masked some not, all Ca-razy!! Fair warning this game is pretty gory raunchy and Goofy!! CLAP TRAP BEATBOX TIME!! *Aggressively beatboxes*

[@happyninja42]

This video genuinely gets me emotional. To have a guy who is literally trapped in his own brain, trying to communicate lucidly, but his biology is fighting everything he says. And he's in a situation where something VERY bad could happen if he can't find a way to communicate normally. When he shouts out "TURN AROUND PRETTY LADY!!" I genuinely get choked up. It silly and ridiculous every other bit, but that part, that's some solid emotional writing to me.

[@TheGohanSkywalker]

As someone who played through the stuff they gave Krieg in Borderlands 3, he is *such* an interesting character. It's left deliberately obscure in his debut, but the TL;DR is that he used to be an assassin/bounty hunter and was tortured and experimented on by a corrupt corporation. As a result, he got mutated and developed a second, dominant personality. (For context, original voice is the one speaking rationally, new one is the poop train one.)

[@wolfpawn]

Loving the reaction and the questions. Krieg is dlc character you can play in this 4 player cooperative looter shooter. The game came with 4 base characters, that siren being one of the base. There is a story and dialogue between said characters, but you playing a specific character does not change the overall story. However, it does change the main gameplay you experience, and different combination of characters means a different team composition. You can have a 4 man team focused on heavy damage, best defense being a good offense, or have one player be a tank on the front lines while others support and deal damage from behind. Important to note that you do not need a 4 player team, you could go in alone or just bring one other friend and the game will adjust the difficulty accordingly.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Oh so interesting! Thank you!

[@thephenome1462]

So stoked you have an interest for Borderlands! Two things I can say right off the bat - 1) the art style is pretty much the same in game, it's actually the most distinguishing feature in the Borderlands series, something that sets it apart from other games that are trying to aim for more and more realistic visuals, and 2) the whole setting is pretty gory in general. It's done in a humorous way, as you saw here, and the art style helps as well, but there are some pretty graphic visuals, regardless. As for the story, I'll say that the most of the stuff from the first game is just setting up the characters and the world, there isn't much of a story in the game overall (the main game, from what I remember), however the rest of the series (2, Pre-Sequel and 3) are properly story-driven, and feature some really fun and interesting bits (in my opinion, of course). Also, even though I haven't played through it myself, it seems to be the consensus that a spin-off game from developers "Telltale" called "Tales from the Borderlands" also fits into the universe, and fits really well (the studio also did pretty cool spin-off stories for The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones). My humble suggestion would be to check out the main game trailers for the three numbered games, they are done in a pretty fun way + on a personal note, I really loved the tracks they chose to play in those trailers, seemed to fit very well. Most importantly - they introduce the playable characters alongside some main NPC's, so at least you get a bit of an idea of who they are and what's happening.

2:58 Borderlands has a pretty neat art style.

[@mhobson2009]

Hi! Love your reaction videos. The "look" is called Cel Shading and was a new and unique art style for a 3D game when it was introduced in Borderlands 1. The intention is to make the real-time rendered game look like 2D Cel Animation as much as possible. Paychos with "Buzz Axes" are a very common enemy in the Borderlands series. This character Krieg was a Psycho character class being introduced by the video. Almost everything he does in this video demonstrates the various Psycho Action Skills. The woman is Maya, a Siren class character included in the base game. One of her Action Skills is suspending enemies in the air rendering them helpless and inflicting damage until the skill timer runs out. Hope that helps.

It's just 1 sets up and introduces you to the world, can be bland without the DLC. BL2 is more story driven with the MOST iconic villain in gaming history. Krieg here, does come back in BL3 with his own DLC mission storyline that I havent played yet, but delves more into his character, and his relationship (potential spoiler? idk) with Maya (the Siren).

The borderlands series is the progenitor of the looter shooter genre of video game, a series of video games that follow a basic gameplay cycle of kill monsters, pick up the weapons and gear That the monsters drop and use it to kill more monsters, repeat. The original borderlands was the one of the 1st of its kind really, blending RPG elements with, for the time, excellent first person shooting gameplay. All packaged in a wholly unique cellshaded artstyle and universe that until recently, was primarily centred around a planet called Pandora that was entirely post apocalyptic riff on mad Max. The developers really hit their stride in their 2nd game borderlands 2 (the game that this video was made for) which expanded more on the lore of the the universe as well as giving one of the best villains in the entire history of video games known as handsome Jack. The series also began to start leaning into its more Absurd and Memey humor that lends itself to be a bit outdated from time to time but still gets a good laugh for those who were aware any of the now inside internet jokes. There's also a lot of toilet humor. This particular lean into the more comedic aspects and absurdness of the series is what it's mostly known for in the gaming community it was always able to ride the line of crude, edgy humour and good comedy until the recent installments really took a downturn with a change in their writing processes, unfortunately. Overall it's a series I dearly love and enjoy.

Borderlands, an extremely popular game in a cel-shaded style. Gore-y and fun, unfortunately there are no meat bicycles. Explaining the entire game in text would be insane. I can instead just say this, Krieg (meat bicycle man) said something about the Siren (pretty lady) being a Vault Hunter, which is an important part of the games story. By the way there are (currently) 5 games in the series, Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Tales from the Borderlands (which is also canon).

A borderlands trailers, the best bits of borderlands. The game doesn’t go into Kieg’s background too much as he is a DLC character.

One of which is the Psycho, a class of enemy that rushes at you screaming random phrases. Kieg is one of these enemies made into a playable character.

There are a lot of borderland videos. A whole series of claptrap (a robot from the game) trying his hardest to film a movie.

Krieg, if I remember right, was a normal guy turned psycho by Hyperion experimentation as well as the death of his wife and losing his daughter. That's why the sane voice is still there. If you choose to playa s Krieg sometimes the sane voice will say something and Krieg will react to it. A lot of it was theories with more hoping to be revealed in Borderlands 3.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

so interesting!

[@AzarathMetreon]

Honestly, if a crazy ripped dude with a giant buzz saw axe screamed “IM GONNA PUT MY PAIN INTO YOUR SOUL!!” at me like that, I’d pass tf out too 😂

[@Cifer77]

There's a LOT of story in the game, but Krieg was more of a side character, and extra one added after release. Borderlands is AMAZING story, they're actually making a movie based on it, Directed by Eli Roth, staring Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, it's a big franchise, several games made under it.

[@Mauze489]

Krieg will be played Florian Munteanu in the movie. Krieg is one of my favorite characters

[@griffca4814]

Yeah Krieg has a special place in my heart. He had a ton of funny lines in the game.

[@SrChr778]

"Ugh, bleh, gross" Best get used to it, because this is Pandora (planet they're on).

[@Mazakai_]

Kriegs meat bicycle/buzz axe is indeed very shiny but also now covered in blood

[@sebastienbusque2312]

I played through all three games, and the DLC for Krieg's story in Borderlands 3 "Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Flustercuck" really puts everything together for him.

[@TheOdMan]

Borderlands 2 has what I would seriously consider one of, if not THE best villain in video game history. He's written so well, and acted even better, he's just the ultimate egomaniac. Handsome Jack, what a legend.

[@dravencallisto]

The second borderlands game was this pace and style of humor the whole game, so basically anything from this game will give you the same feels lol

[@trickshot-nd4pj]

Kreig is the product of a failed expirement. As a result he was turned into a psyco yet he is special because he still has the voice of sanity in he head trying to guide him. I love his back story in bl3

[@Prime_Nexus1]

I love kreig so much. I love him and mayas relationship aswell. So good. I'm glad kreig got a dlc in bl3

[@bigwoke5956]

gosh, the entire borderlands story and universe, and all of it's characters is so full and funny, everything about it is deep and amazing 😥😥

[@pirateman1144]

I'm a little drunk and unfocused and when I saw that thumbnail I thought the chair was your shoulders and arms. Legit thought you'd hulked out since the last vid I saw. A couple days ago.

[@acewhisper788]

Oh! There is one thing I recommend you listen to! And that'd be Halo 3 ODST all Audio logs. They're easter eggs, AKA terminals, in the game that tell a voice-acted story and there are about 50 mins of them. Worth a listen if you're ever wanting to relax. Usually Terminals in the Halo games are lore stuff or big blocks of text but those audio logs were a treat to listen to.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Thanks!

[@iLegend777]

Krieg was that character you could truly just rush in, barely survive then mop up on loot and feel like you just may need to see a psyche Doc after. Krieg is a Legend as a full blown melee character

[@thefactspherefromportal2740]

Borderlands is such a great series. All five games excel at something, whether it be story, gameplay, or ingenuity. They all excel at art, sound, and music.

[@lordnikon412002]

If you wanted to know more about this character since you are a non gamer you can look up the video The History of Krieg.

[@ihap5180]

I love playing as this dude. My playstyle is the most brain dead strategy of running at the enemies and whacking them with my buzz axe.

[@GoonManGuy]

The Borderlands Psychos are easily one of the most colorful characters in the games. All of Krieg's dialogue is pure gold and the various chump Psychos have interesting lines. Probably the most notable of all, in BL2 all of the Psycho enemies have the chance to start delivering the entirety of Hamlet's Too Solid Flesh soliloquy.

[@adriang6362]

Oh wow I love border lands, tales from the borderlands will make your day . 5 episodes in all so funny.

[@erikdevos8482]

The narrator is that guy before he went teug experimentation to turn him in that guy

[@freakxwithxaxpen]

krieg was a dlc playable character for borderlands 2. basically he was a bounty hunter that took a job for the gun manufacturer Hyperion. Specifically he was paid to find people they could use for their slag experiments. Hyperion eventually betrayed Krieg and used him as a test subject to. Krieg was the only "successful" experiment in that he was the only one not to die horribly. he managed to escape the facility and since then has been killing anyone even remotely connected to Hyperion. the voice in his head is hime from before the slag experiment caused him to go crazy.

[@thedrunkzaku]

This was on my recommended and I love it.

[@MrDimox]

The intros for the games are very good at setting the mood of the world.

[@MegaCuddlesworth]

Borderlands will always be one of my most favorite game series of all time. It is so fun and wonky from start to finish.

[@AnonymousPsych]

Honestly, you'd love Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2. Look her up. Her tea party is... glorious.

[@ronwhite2766]

kriegs story is heartbreaking and tear jerking imo, like the whole story, including bl3

[@Frosch666]

For sure there is more 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKawcnaPmMRojrs kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZXIf2CNe8qKfrM And yes the game looks just like that and made this kind of cel-shaded art style famous

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

So cool!

[@weredraco]

Perfect choice of trailers. While there are a few more for BL2 alone... these were my favourites.

[@thatonedude996]

Did anyone think that she was just super jacked it the thumbnail. The chair blends so perfectly lmao

[@RazanaArcclaw]

I dont know where to send reccomendations (Although now i know on the community board) but i sent ya a message on twitter, loving these vids and its so amazing to see someone get introduced to these great series!

[@alexkaen1701]

Krieg is the best character in all of Borderlands, and the hardest to understand. You have to play through the various dlc's to find it, but they piece together a story where he used to be a normal person, with a family, until he was captured by the villains. The clearest clue you get to his true identity is one line, remembering his daughter, who escaped thanks to his sacrifice. "...Tina..."

[@HearkBeat]

It was all thanks to Krieg that I fell in love with Borderlands 2 as much as I did, such a fun and amazing character that I could play and listen to forever. The Krieg fustercluck dlc for BL3 was really great too, getting to know the character that single-handedly sold me on anything BL if it meant even more of our prince of meat, definitely not a let down like BL3's main story was to me.

[@86BlackRider86]

If you only knew what developers did to the pretty lady...

[@helline9]

love your hair! :) Krieg was made insane, he was tortured and experimented on.

[@permhaaland]

The game looks like that. There’s so much to explore. I’ve played the game for nearly four years now. Krieg is by far the funniest character to play.

[@lordgiblets7585]

Krieg says crazier stuff in the game. He yells about insurance fraud when you run over an enemy with a vehicle, he yells about nipple salads when you stand idle for too long... apparently, his pecs have pecs. My favorite character to play as in that game.

[@JamesCaramonHarris]

My first run through BL2 was with my sister playing the DLC characters because their synergy is amazing, having her play Gaige with her crazy DT build, and me with Krieg's...explosive...personality. xD Adding your points into the Mania tree, you can get a practically immortal berserker behemoth that can sacrifice himself to instantly resuscitate allies, then start chasing enemies with dynamite to res himself. Or, adding into Hellborn, you can get a demonic hell-beast that sets itself on fire for fun and heals. Taking the left tree, Bloodlust, instead, veers from making him a towering inferno, and turns him into a blood-soaked bombardier, with resources that boost the insanity beyond the realms of madness.

[@aubreygebhards2879]

In the third game they made a dlc explaining his background. Its very emotional.
