You should literally play, or just watch the full walkthrough of *Tales From The Borderlands* , it's basically like a TV Series, there is pretty much no gameplay there and you just control a movie there, and it's very great, it's literally something you can play because you're not even playing it when you playing it, you're just watching a movie, if that makes sense lmao. xD

[@Maxine07]

Maybe you can even livestream it))

[@Maksie0]

I'd like to second that. Tales really has the best story out of the series in my opinion and especially the intros of each of the episodes are just amazing, though definirely better consumed in the context of the wider story.

[@BlastHeart96]

Seconding this. TFTB is easily something that you could watch to get a rough Borderlands feel. It's certainly better if you've played the games and understand the references and cameos, but it's still an amazing story even for people that have never played or even heard of Borderlands. Also I will warn you that there is alot of dynamic camera movement and angles at times, but its still amazing.

[@jacobrucquoi4824]

This is a great idea! I actually played Tales From The Borderlands before I ever played the original games, and I still enjoyed it just fine. It's actually what got me into the series in the first place.

[@kelsian_smith03]

The bro scene in Tales From The Borderlands had me rolling back in 2015/2016

[@firestorm1088]

They do find the vault in the first game, only for it turn out to actually be a prison for an eldritch alien monster that they had to defeat. In the second one, they learn about a second vault that Handsome Jack is looking for.

[@Darkmattermonkey77]

Handsome Jack was and is the best villain. Because you actually develop hate for him. The twins? Not so much. They were annoying, that’s it. But, I say this. If you play the game, start with borderlands, then borderlands 2.

[@martineriksson6123]

[@artemisfowl7332]

Jack is amazing yeah. But I do love the twins as villains because they are simply evil and twisted. I like enemies that are evil just to be evil but everyone knows the true star is tiny tina

[@AndrewD8Red]

Borderlands as a franchise is really spoiling for great characters. I just had a thought! A good one for you to watch would be Tales From The Borderlands. It's almost like a "choose your own adventure" book, except on a computer with a little bit of gameplay. I know you're not a gamer (it's literally in the video title) but Telltale Games would probably be a good fit for you.

[@Crit-Chance]

Yeah I mean, she says her main reason for not playing games is because she considers it a new skill that she would have to put considerable time into acquiring, but in the case of Telltale-style games there would be little to no real challenge there in terms of motor skills and things like that.

[@aslanbek_kairov]

I advise you to see Borderlands 2 intro/opening cinematic. And also play Tales from Borderlands. This game is in the genre of interactive movie and you can start acquaintance with this franchise without passing the previous parts. You make great reactions)

She watches the Borderlands 1 opening, then just a bunch of Borderslands 2 stuff that isn't then opening. Classic

[@Axetwin]

You can only learn so much about a game from only watching the trailer, yes. But you don't need to start playing them to understand the story, you can watch a Let's Play. Which is essentially watching someone else play it, typically in an informative way. The Meat Bicycle guy is Krieg The Psycho, and no that's not him doing finger guns under his chin. That's just a normal psycho. The set up for Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon's Keep is the Vault Hunters sitting down to play a game of Bunkers and Badasses (read: Dungeons and Dragons), and then it turns into an emotional gutpunch near the end.

[@darrylferguson3622]

To be honest, when it comes to trailers vs playing the game itself, there are stories in the game that you can only learn about by watching a lore video or just playing the game. For example, anyone that remembers the ending choice of the Fallout 3 DLC- The Pitt, will understand what i mean when i say i felt like a fresh turd for choosing to potentially save the future over helping the people of the present. The full story of Ulysess from Fallout: NV was one that would require you to have not only played all the Fallout: New Vegas DLC but also spend time exploring every new environment- and it was worth it. Reminiscing aside, i think you would prefer watching lore videos, since there is no learning curve to get in the way of hearing more of the story.

[@TimdeVisser86]

8:30 No, actually the guy on the title screen is just an unnamed enemy of the 'psycho' type. Most of the generic enemies in Borderlands are called 'psychos', because they're homicidally delusional (I think the lore explains that the evil corporations created some kind of pollution or weapon that turned a lot of people into psychos, but I can't remember). The 'meat bicycle guy' is called Krieg, and he's like an abnormal psycho that has managed to hold onto some of his empathy and morals (or really he just fell in love with the blue-haired vault-hunter Maya). But he's not on the cover, nor is he part of the original 8 Vaulthunters.

[@garyballard179]

Pandora was a planet-wide penal colony, where the inmates were used as a labor force. Most of them were fairly deranged even before they arrived on the planet. Then the corporations bugged out, leaving a bunch of homicidal maniacs to fend for themselves.

[@thebadger4040]

I'd say you should also watch Borderlands 2 - The Best of Handsome Jack for a lot of the in-gameplay moments that make Jack one of the best video game villains of all time

[@cyberdragoon1432]

To give a breakdown, the first was the opening sequence for Borderlands 1, with each subsequent game introducing the 4 playable characters/classes that players can run through the game as(do note that you cannot change once you’ve started a character, since that requires the creation of a the character to do so and starting the game again), with Borderlands 2 having the inclusion of 2 DLC characters/classes after release, in the form of Gaige, the Mechamancer, and Mr. Meat-Bicycle himself Kreig, the psycho, which explains why they weren’t in the trailer. The game’s follow a timeline, with each chapter, even the ones you once played, grow older with each game. The Tiny Tina’s fantasy trailer sets up the what is about to occur in the Dragon’s Keep DLC, which makes it Borderlands in a RPG world, with it eventually branching out into its own game as the upcoming Tiny Tina’s Wonderland.

[@matthewgarcia3042]

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.

[@iakonasisler4808]

Borderlands is literally my favorite game series ever so I was excited to see this upload, I recently hit 9k hours in BL2 alone

Definitely do more Borderlands stuff, specifically the intro to 2 and 3, also the intro to 1.5

[@JennFaeAge]

I agree with you about trailers, it's like how you'd hope comedy movies don't give away all the best jokes

[@nikeonnk]

In case you want to, Borderlands the pre sequel, Borderlands 2 and borderlands 3 have the same style intro with the drawing and then music cinematic. Lastly Tales from the borderlands have 5 music intros and has many have stated is basically an interactive movie.

[@BlazingInfernapemusicfanatic]

The woman who voices Tiny Tina is the same woman who voices Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn. Ashly Burch also has/had a KZbin channel called Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? Her brother was the lead writer for Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Tales from the Borderlands, and wrote on HAWP.

[@plumdowner1941]

Funny thing, the Vault was actually opened in Borderlands 1. But it just opened even more vaults across the planet.

[@edd2776]

I loved it when Brick said "it's siren time" and beat up the Sorcerer with a siren punch a true borderlands experience

[@toobin8r]

Tiny Tina’s stuff hit in the feels, partly because, yea, she’s on a planet where murder’s the norm and she’s done her fair share of blowing people up, but also, she’s still a kid, and that funeral kinda showcases that

[@MrJordwalk]

"I have no idea what's going on, but I think it's hilarious!" OH IT IS! TINY TINA'S ASSAULT ON DRAGON KEEP IS ONE OF THE BEST DLC EVER MADE. It revolves Borderlands own version of Dungeons & Dragons called "Bunkers & Badasses" and Tiny is a Dungeon Master running a campaign. It's amazing!

[@servantofmelian9966]

"Badass" is a word that appears frequently in all the Borderlands games. As in, "The Badass Crater of Badassitude" (a DLC), and "Badass ", etc. And yes, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is wonderful, practically a full game in it's own right and full of both humor and sorrow. And badasses.

3:04 the fact you laughed at this scene makes me smile, I love skags even the chubby ones, the chubby ones are considered legendary because of legendary gear but it made my day lol, also this game is my childhood, I've played 1, 2, the pre-sequel, not the rpg, and still play 3. It's literally the best fps and you should watch tiny Tina's assault on dragons keep and then tiny Tina's wonderlands. Assault on dragons keep was an all time bad*** Deluxe content and I would replay it over and over again. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a game by itself but made by the same people...you'll love the trailer trust me.

[@Ultraclocked]

I'd love to see you check out all Borderlands trailers! It is such a special game series with a gorgeous comic book art style. Here's a list off the top of my head: Borderlands 2 - Doomsday trailer, An Introduction by Sir Hammerlock, Wimoweh trailer, Intro cinematic, Game of the Year Celebration trailer. Borderlands 3 - Mask of Mayhem teaser, Reveal trailer, 'So Happy Together' trailer, Intro cinematic, all Character trailers. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Intro cinematic. There are also hilarious 'behind the scenes' videos for BL1 and BL2 in case you want even more. In those, the game characters act like they are actors on a movie set lol

[@KandMPL]

Borderlands 3 have some good trailers like "So Happy Together" or vault hunters trailers.

[@yobogoya4367]

I would hope that they would get Ryan Reynolds to play Handsome Jack in the movie, he's the only actor I trust to pull it off correctly. Jack is quite possibly the best villain I've ever encountered in a story. And villains are the most important aspect of story telling, in my opinion. A hero can make a story good, a villain can make a story great. No one watches The Dark Knight for Batman, we watch it for Heath Ledger as the greatest Joker that ever lived. Back on topic, since you have stated you have no intention of playing the games, the following won't be spoilers for you. You should check out videos like "best of Tiny Tina", "best of Handsome Jack", "best of Claptrap", and "best of Mr Torgue"...they are hilarious.

[@generalx13]

Honestly can't get enough of Borderlands. Please do the opening cinematics for the remaining games. It's beautiful chaos. These games are full of endless pop culture references and gold tier comedy.

[@kasaitaka3912]

So In the first Borderlands the original vault hunters open A Vault in Pandora. In the presequal they introduce handsome Jack and he's also trying to open a different Vault and then it goes into Borderlands 2 where the vault hunters are trying to stop Handsome Jack from opening a different vault which shows a map to thousand different vaults.

[@TimdeVisser86]

Couple of things you might want to watch if you want more Borderlands stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5qlaXiXecqsq7M A pretty short intro to Tiny Tina's add-on content game, it's sort of a sequel to the trailer you watched last. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXy5l2icmriAe8k A pretty good action trailer for Borderlands 2 (bit loud and hectic though) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKebdWOgiq9kfdk A similar deal for Borderlands 3 As to whether or not you should game: pick a game that looks appealing to you. If it helps, don't think of it as learning a skill, you don't have to be good at it. Every game is different anyway, everyone who starts a game basically has to start at square one (you can just pick an easy difficulty setting if it's too hard, most modern games are pretty easy to get into). Games typically vary a lot in length and learning curve too. There are games you can finish in a couple of hours and that you can't lose. If you have more specific things you would like in your first game, we can give you some specific recommendations!

[@daytonhuth3622]

I haven’t seen any of these videos except for the opening scene but I have played and loved these games for a long time. It’s a game I think is hard to get into and immediately enjoy just because of the way it’s played (especially the first game) and I believe the only reason I still play it today is just the nostalgia. Recently I’ve noticed a big lag in my patience with this game, it can be tough,boring,grindy,anger-inducing,etc. But against all of that it has one of the most expansive stories,characters,lore, and map I think I’ve ever seen in a game series I’ve played before. And? It’s got a sense of humor AS WELL as some actually seriously badass moments.

[@servantofmelian9966]

Hannah, you never ask but I am gonna answer; A Brief Explanation of Borderlands: Each game has the objective of discovering a "Vault", which is not necessarily a traditional bank vault sort of thing. In each game, you can choose one of four characters as your avatar, each with unique skills (although all avatars can use all weapons). The characters are different in each game (some appear as NPC's in other games). Some games offer (for a price) additional possible avatars (the Kreig you saw in the "Meat Bicycle Built for Two" video is one of these). You complete objectives to acquire experience points (required to level up), and to open up new areas. Within each area, you are free to explore pretty much as you please, but the ability to open up new areas is somewhat scripted; you can not do so until certain conditions have been met. In that sense, the games are linear. Most objectives are of the sort traditional in video games: There is no problem that can not be solved by going out and blowing someone to bloody bits (there are a few exceptions). Within each game, there is a "Big Boss" who is your main enemy and must eventually be defeated. Handsome Jack is the Big Boss of Borderlands 2 and, as has been mentioned, is one of the best villains ever. You have allies, some of them quite charming, all eccentric. Side notes: My personal favorite avatars (and why) in each game: 1. Brick. There is something oddly satisfying about going berserk and smashing everything around you with your fists. 2. Maya. She's pretty, and I think she is the most powerful avatar in all the games. 2 1/2. (aka "The Pre-sequel"). Wilhelm. I really like his two pet robots. 3. Still not sure, but leaning towards Zane. Speaking of avatars, did you know you are one? In B3, there is a Siren called Amara. She's hot, and she's buff. If you ever do decide to try playing a Borderlands game, playing B3 as Amara might be a good place to start.

Here is the TL;DR of the Borderlands Lore (This includes all the Borderlands games) By the person who has an entire Christmas break to do nothing, Sir.Vapenation: Borderlands 1: The vault hunters are after a rumor of the vaults. In the end they find it, and discover their is another. Borderlands: The pre-sequel: The group of 4 (not the characters from Borderlands 1) enter a Hyperion ship that is attacked. They find "Handsome" Jack and basically help him take it back, and he then kills the boss to become the boss, and revealed as a bad guy, and obsessed wit the vaults. One of the main characters punches the Vault logo into Jacks face, scaring it, making him have to wear a mask to hide it. Borderlands 2: The vault hunters find out their is another vault, and link up with the Vault hunters from Borderlands 1, and are forced to fight Handsome Jack. In the end he is defeated alongside the Guardian (A ancient being defending the vaults) Tales from the borderlands: A "You choose your path" game where you play as 2 pairs of duo's, and discover a vault. Depending on the endings you done, you choose 4 characters to use a giant robot to kill the guardian Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith and the fight for sanctuary (A DLC to Borderlands 2 that happens after Tales from the borderlands): The vault hunters from Borderland 2 help the Crimson Lance (The team Lilith created) have to fight the Children of the vault to protect sanctuary. I think they fail, i never played it yet. Borderlands 3: The children of the vault is now a cult and is to big to ignore. The vault hunters team up with the remains of Crimson lance to defeat the brother and sister duo sirens that lead the cult, and win. And that is the summary of the game so far. Its all simplified and i had to *Massively* overlook many things but its the quick rundown.

[@serenitygaming3553]

So, the first story is actually resolved, and you do get to see the vault at the end. The second game has new characters with a new vault, but the characters from the first game do return as NPC's

[@paytonkraft7564]

In the first one you do find "The Vault", and (spoiler alert)... ...it's just full of angry tentacles. The treasure is basically an eldtritch horror. (You do get a bunch of loot for your next playthrough when you kill it, so it's not a total bust.) In Borderlands 2, it's a new set of characters chasing the same legend, because nobody knows (or believes) that the vault doesn't exist.

The guy at the end of the trailers is a Psycho, which is a common iconic enemy in the game. The meat bicycle guy you keep referring to is actually Krieg the Psycho, the second and final DLC character that came out after Borderlands 2 was released. In every game there is at least one Vault in the main story, and some story DLCs also have Vaults. So the Vault in Borderlands 1 and the Vault in Borderlands 2 are two different Vaults.

I would love to see you react to Halo Legends: The Duel. Some animation studios made some short films for 343 industries. It's all lore accurate. Halo Legends: The Duel tells a story about how the aliens started their covenant. In this story the covenant (bad guys) are trying to recruit another species. These species are called Elites in the human language. The Elites are skilled fighters but aren't advanced in technology. So the leaders of the covenant tries to win them over with gift. The gift are technology advanced stuff, like guns, spaceship and vehicles. The leaders ask for return complete obedience. They want to become their gods. And the main character (an Elite chieftain) will try to stop them in the short movie. It's 20 minutes long. I hope you like it!

The issue with motion sickness in First Person Perspective often occurs because the motion is something your eyes and inner ear don't agree on. If you're controlling the movement yourself, it's not an issue for most people. Sometimes though, even experienced gamers get motion sick, especially if the field of view is low (narrow like you're looking at the world through a toilet roll), the framerate is low (the world seems like a slideshow to your brain), or the movement is erratic (such as with head bob while sprinting). But the worst offenders are often when a cutscene takes the camera controls away from you, and makes you look around in a way you normally wouldn't.

[@StragintX]

The last trailer for assault on dragon keep is a really good story in game but also really sad. It is basically the story of Tina trying to avoid dealing with the death of a loved one in the game and her friends trying to get her to come to terms with it.

[@4054Theasian]

If this was already said, Ignore. The DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep was a representation of dealing with grief from Tiny Tina. She was very close to the character of Roland, (The funeral Brick was talking about) and Tina was using the game of "Bunkers and Badasses" as an escapist coping mechanism. She was in serious denial of Roland's death and actually has to confront it during the DLC.

There is a Borderlands film coming, different story apparently but probably still relevant. They opened a vault in the first game, the second game has a different one btw. Borderlands 3 has a few vaults in it. With regards to your lore through playing question; A lot of little moments in the game and cutscenes give a significant amount of character development and growth. Whilst you could get this from watching a 'let's play' or walkthrough on KZbin it adds to the experience if it is you driving the narrative by playing the game yourself.

The Borderlands 2 Intro is awesome. Also I think you would benefit more if you looked up compilations of games cinematics.

[@kevinworytko1099]

If you ever go back to Halo I recommend checking out the Halo 3: ODST live action trailer

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Noted! Thanks!

[@Maxine07]

I literally replayed Borderlands today 😂

[@nickthedreamer4434]

Tiny Tina has to be my favorite character in the entire Borderlands Franchise (even better than Handsome Jack in my book)...and that's mainly because 1) I always love me some crazy-ass happy-go-slappy characters and 2) the story that her character goes through both in backstory, Borderlands 2, and Tales of Dragon Keep is honestly some incredible storytelling (honestly sad that we don't get as much of her in Borderlands 3 as I'd like but I did appreciate everything we got).

[@darkinsanity98473]

Yes watch the BL2 intro video. It's the primary reason I clicked on this video, to see you react to that one which I thought was in this video. My favorite intro.

[@comedicneutralgames6844]

Fun video! I deeply suggest borderlands 2's "wimoweh" trailer and "doomsday" trailer, both have enough context building elements so you have an idea of the story. Plus the wimoweh trailer's just super fun 😆

[@weredraco]

Wimoweh and Game Of The Year trailer were my two favourites for BL2. And then for a bit of fun, Pogo's "Psycho Soup" song made from voicelines from both BL2 and BL:TPS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyZppebob2bsKc - GotY trailer kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3jSmJyaoNaIqbM - Psycho Soup

Tiny Tina's assult on dragon's keep is a dlc where you basically play borderlands but in a fantasy dnd setting, with Tina making up the world and enemies as you go. It's full of meta jokes (Wait, don't go there! I haven't made that area yet!) and references to nerd culture. Simultaneously however Tina (who is 11) is coming to terms with the death of a father figure and her dealing with the grief and processing it is reflected directly in the fantasy world you are playing in. It really is a work of art with the videogame as it's medium. It was so popular that they are actually making a standalone sequel using Boderlands 3 as a base. ^_^

[@emerillg]

I enjoy your videos. Keep on keepin' on.

[@whenisdinner2137]

The first Vault was results. It's just that there are multiple Vaults on Pandora.

[@GMChaos]

Yes watch the intro cinematics!! also watch Tiny Tina's intro mission. It's hilarious!

[@BLACKFLAME4941]

" oh she is soo fun!" and completely fucking MAD!! teason why the community loves her

[@tripleemphotos]

Borderlands 2 is by far the best borderlands ever made

[@zacharykane1954]

There are so many moments in games, that if you don't play them, you'll miss or at least not feel the gravity of when they happen. The interactions you've had, the stories (multiple in some cases) you'll miss, all coming together in some sort of beautiful cohesive mess that'll evoke true emotional response. Borderlands is one of these games and there are so many more. I think you should experience that. If not for your fans, then definitely for yourself.

[@nikeonnk]

Im so happy you watched some borderlands its one of my favorite game of all time. I have been playing it for the last 10 years.

[@rhinoispro8559]

Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep Intro is funny and its kinda like dnd or pathfinder as in a tabletop game

[@blxckbird6438]

In my 20 years of life, I've learned that there's only so much knowledge you can gain from watching on the sidelines. If you wanna know something in full detail, you gotta get your hands dirty.

[@Bobzilla206]

The Pre Sequel of Borderlands tells the story of Handsome jacks face.

[@albertrochajr781]

Love the music the borderlands games

[@jonnybrello4360]

Video games have become my medium for getting a good story. Better than any movie or show, almost as good as books, but more enjoyable in some ways which add to the fun. You read a book for a story, you play a game for a story, almost becoming the main character in all essences while you're in it. Time consuming is the only problem, they can span MANY, MANY hours.

[@sumelar]

Handsome Jack might just be the best written and acted villain ever.

[@metawolf987]

If you got shocked by a skag getting bodied by a bus, I'm gonna love to see your reactions to Doom and Doom Eternal Glory Kills.

[@TA3DArtist]

Multiple vaults if no one mentioned it. The vault in 1 isn’t the same as the vault in 2 or 3 if I recall.

[@erickpe634]

Handsome Jack is one of the best villains ever writen for a game, and the second characters like Tina or Scooter bring life to the history. Should react for more vids from Borderlands, at least the intro of Borderlands 2 and 3

[@PeterKaitlyn]

That flicker isn't there in the game... When the videos are processed by KZbin they are converted to a frame rate that KZbin likes... the difference between the frame rate of the game and KZbin is what causes the flicker... It's mad worse by your web browser...

[@sarahscott5305]

I don't think you *NEED* to start gaming to keep learning about them. You've picked up the lore on a lot of franchises without putting your hands on a mouse and keyboard! And your loyal Nerd Herd keeps answering your questions anyway!

[@SpearM3064]

Not to mention all the KZbinrs who do their own Lore videos. Installation00 for Halo lore, Oxhorn for Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Fallout But Were Afraid To Ask (seriously, Fallout lore is more than half his channel), Tiptoe the Tank for Resident Evil, Bayonetta, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Prey, Evil Within, Silent Hill, Dead Space, Metro 2033, and more. If she had the time and interest, Hanna could always go watch some of those lore videos for a more thorough understanding.
