[@DustinSox]

I feel that this game was actually pretty solid for what it is. Clearly this was some kind of experimental project where they saw people aching for some TTADK themed stuff and they wanted to try their hand at making a whole game based around the concept, and I feel like they did pretty well for someone experiencing the game for the first time. That being said, it is unfortunate that the game never really got much support afterwards and the effort they put into the post game was minimal. I am hoping that they have listened to the community and plan on reworking some cons and adding quality of life changes in the sequel, making it a game that actually holds up to what people are expecting just like the transition from BL1 to BL2.

[@Wynorrific]

I'm going to assume that being developed in the pandemic hurt it, but I'm also sure a lot of the team was focused on BL4, so WL got less love. I enjoyed the game, but post launch was awful. Hopefully WL2 and BL4 give life back into the franchise

[@DustinSox]

@@Wynorrific Absolutely. On top of that, I feel like we are in a time where the gaming industry is running into a "testing" period where they are trying new things just to see if they work, as games are becoming very difficult and expensive to make these days. High hopes for the next entries!

If gearbox made this more like borderlands 2’s dlc. It would’ve been great

[@MrRADicalOfficial]

Even Borderlands 3's DLCs were pretty good too. A combination of 2 and 3's would be great, but they'll probably go down the route of Borderlands 3's and Tales 2's story. Meaning god awful writing; written by people who don't even care for the franchise and have an agenda to push.

[@baplotnik]

yeah that's true. I liked the tropical island dlc, it was really cool actually but it broke the damn game and after all that time of it being completely fine. it think it wasn't even the dlc really, they capped levels and changed how bosses work. classic oh jesus moment

[@baplotnik]

@@MrRADicalOfficial honestly, the fustercluck dlc was just that, my favorite guy from bl2 besides zero who has the personality of an emoji, two of the coolest cats on pandora kreig and maya a genuinly cute couple, for no reason killed to death and ended by the writing choices. terrible story throughout, terrible ending. just ends with an imagination of something is close enough. that's not what that was supposed to mean. that was really fucked. no room for that in BL anywhere. it was far from close enough. and hey, gay people are cool, we all know that, but you can tell when there is an inserted piece that does not belong, also the agenda of saying ugly people are actually the good looking people, perfect example is the rich scientist chick from tales 2, is she black? indian? wtf? explain? I know hammerlocks black af, idk what this lady is and idk why they chose that accent for her, it's so obscure and unknown it references a people group or race we don't even know about, and may not even exist, which doesn't make anyone racist for raising an eyebrow, like, even if you were curious, good luck finding out anything on the culture of that woman. and the tiny tina thing, I love that character but shes being used in a strange fan service kind of way. like maybe it's made for people who wear fedoras. just saying. again, not us. been holding that in lol

[@riioas5543]

? Bl2 was awesome but the DLCs were well known for not being good except for dragons keep… the only good BL DLC was BL1

[@baplotnik]

@@riioas5543 I guess that one was more in depth but I couldn't stand it lol except I liked Mr Torgue making everything badass as hell all hell. I really liked the tropical one actually with old crabby but it capped the entire game for no reason.

Bl3 I can't say the same, it's impossible to get any enjoyment from a game you know is designed to take the piss out of you

[@Cy8erTron1x]

Currently playing this game with my buddy, we're having a good time, I'm a spells only graveshot and my buddy is a trigger happy stabbomancer. I understand that its a DnD parody, so alot of it is just Gearboxes version of DnD adapted into a borderlands game, and its just enjoyable imo.

[@Deusaga]

It's a great game on your first or second playthrough. A lot of people including Hellfire here said he enjoyed his first playthrough. Which from memory is about 40 or so hours. Especially if you take your time looking around the maps for the collectables. I think that's a great experience tbh. Many great full priced games out there that are one and done story games.

So your entire gripe about the game is that it’s exactly what it tells you it is? “We’re NOT VAULT HUNTERS!?” Ok? The entire premise of the game is that you’re playing a fantasy game with Tina. “It’s not repeatable!” Combine classes “You can’t change classes whenever you want” you’re not meant to, kinda defeats the purpose.

[@RogerRoger897]

I agree I actually enjoyed the game the melee was my favorite part but the chaos chamber was to hard for me,e I only got to 80

[@measlesplease1266]

Yeah I'm playing it after getting it on sale and people said it's not worth making a new character. They made it sound like you can switch classes any time, but you can only change the second class? That literally means I have to play as every other class to get the full experience and I'm all for it. So glad I didn't sell the legendary classes I found.

[@meowmeowmeow1243]

Wonderlands was a great game for a play through. Great story, and great villain with a good gameplay it’s just the lack of end game that ruins it.

[@thefearturkey6944]

Yep for a border lands game replayability and end game are placed highly. I had a ton of potential. And id put it above bl3. In some places it took some steps forward in others it went backwards.

[@Bluefire0301]

@@thefearturkey6944 the big problem with the end game was all we got was chaos chamber and they kept pumping it to higher levels. At launch everyone liked it we just needed other things. Hopefully wonderlands 2 and bl4 learn from the mistakes of the last 5 games and do better.

[@GiblixStudio]

Indeed. I enjoyed Wonderlands for a few 100 hours. But the Chaos Chambers just wasn't fun. Also, just as the Pre-sequel, there was no real staying power. Once you've made the characters and builds you were done fast. Also the loot felt limited in scope and you were just re-farming the same thing at higher rarity... same reason I didn't like OP in BL2. Felt so pointless. The DLC's were also a waste of time. The main campaign and side quests were fun though.

[@Hellwolf36]

Yeah Chaos Chambers was basically Nephalem Rifts from D3 all over again. I got to Chaos 100 the hard way with a 1HP build and it felt it wasn't worth it.

I really really enjoyed Wonderlands on the first 1-2 playthroughs. Meaning start a new hero. And for you to say that you enjoyed it on your first playthrough makes it weird that you don't recommend anyone playing it. There are many games out there that are 1-2 playthrough games that are great. The side quests in Wonderlands were among the best side quests out of the whole Borderlands series imo. Yeah there's no endgame. And that's fine. The combat, especially the melee combat is super fluid and fun.

To be honest a 1-2 play through is good enough for me I never even completed pre sequel I conpleted bl2 never finished bl3 either xD

​@@Nemissis4265the other Borderlands games have decent raid bosses, engaging dlcs such as secret armory and claptastic voyage, and a plethora of great mobbing areas like headstone mine or opportunity. Just because you personally don't like the Borderlands endgame content does not mean the games aren't replayable, the fact that Borderlands 2 still has more players than wonderlands is evidence enough that it is quite replayable.

If you’re not real familiar with the whole franchise and you just jump on this game it’s fun to me. I’m kinda hooked

[@cameronincheese797]

I actually really loved wonderlands at launch. The story was enjoyable, the game play was on par with borderlands 3, and I thought the Dragon Lord was pretty entertaining. That said, the endgame is what lost me entirely. Although I didn’t mind chaos chambers (before they added 100 of them), the game needed more raid bosses and story-driven content, which the dlcs didn’t deliver. I remember thinking that if this game had great dlcs, it could be up there as one of the best in the franchise. Unfortunately, that never came to fruition.

[@0fficalHellfire]

Sameeee, it would’ve stuck to 20 chaos chambers and they had some good DLC’s. This would be a really solid borderlands game

They had a PERFECT FORMULA and decided to change things nobody asked them to change. Like they made every fetch quest and waypoint 9999 miles away from where you spawn, The map is terrible and has 0 indication of height, the actual waypoint markers dont show up in game, so a lot of the time you're forced to just wander around until you find the right thing to interact with.

[@laszloder4261]

I can understand that having a Fatemaker who doesn't "make Fate" is weird, but by the same logic our characters weren't really Vault Hunters in the older games either. We always just followed the ones who got there first. Steele opened the vault in BL1, Jack did in BL2, Zarpedon did in TPS, and Vallory did it in TFTBL, tho this can be debated since the vault needed to be reopened. So the first time we play as a so called Vault Hunter - who both opened a vault and fought the monster inside it - was either Rhys and Fiona, or - ironically - in BL3 with the Promethea vault. But come on, it's a tabletop game withing a game franchise. Why would their title be Vault Hunter in a fantasy setting of a role playing game ? :D Also, Tina IS expanded upon, but Wonderlands chronologically takes place either before the Commander Lilith DLC where the B Team is formed, or between that and BL3 where she is grown. This is TINY Tina, with her grief still lingering, trying to cope. I thought this was pretty obvious.

It was built up like it was a full game in the style of dragons keep. Then get lectured by a teenage Tina about name calling when as an adult she does it in B3. But demonic possession, that’s fine. I preordered chaotic edition, but after this (and plc bullshine), as well as making tales 2 cannon. B4 though I will give the movie a chance unless it’s rated teen then I’ll pass.

Seriously, they need a Borderlands 4 with Tina as a playable vault hunter. I could imagine some of her skill tree including things like "All Tina's grenades have MIRV (5, 8, 10, 12, 16, depending on how many points are spent) ability. If your Grenade mod already has MIRV ability, each of the child grenades also has the MIRV ability granted by the grenade mod." and "All your grenades have the Homing ability, If your grenade mod also has homing ability, homing speed is doubled" and "Tina can use grenades during Fight for your Life" and "If Tina is out of grenades, using the grenade ability consumes one non-equipped grenade mod to fill her grenade capacity" The "All your grenades have...(whatever)" skills would be in different trees at tier 3.

Because of the growing popularity of dnd, especially during covid, they probably thought it would make a good cash grab.

[@nickthedreamer4434]

That's a weird question to ask seeing how you can ask that about any game sequel. I mean, why play Borderlands 2 when you already have Borderlands? Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is one of the highest rated and best selling DLC in the entire Borderlands history. Along with rising interest in TTRPGs like DnD at the time (as well as Tiny Tina being an absolute fan favorite character), the actual question is why WOULDN'T people do it again? Like with any sequel, we knew we'd be getting new story, character, and gameplay alongside story, character, and gameplay we're familiar with (alongside probably a few things that we'd have problems with. I mean...that's just how reality works; you take the good with the bad). There was great potential with something that worked really well in the past and the timing of game's release was in the game's favor due to other things happening irl. I do understand that, AFTER the game was launched, we saw that the shortcomings outweighed the good (honestly, there's a lot of criticism about the game that's valid). Even with that said, we still got some great things from Wonderlands that make the game worth playing at least once (including one of the best villains in the whole Borderlands franchise; one I'd say is a close-second to Handsome Jack himself).

[@SoulshadeVr101]

The biggest problem with it was just lack of replayability the no new game plus ruined it for me thats always been part of borderlands identity thats sold the series for me its always cool replaying through a story with all the cool gear you found by the end of the game the story was leagues better then bl3 so its actually fun to play through whats the point of having good guns if theres nothing to do cause chaos chamber is boring asfk to me ive never been a fan of the round based missions in borderlands personally.

[@SoulshadeVr101]

Or more so i would like to say whats the point of having good guns if there no variety of things to do with them chaos Chambers just basically the same thing over and over

[@justincorbett3792]

One of the things that the mainline also does for replayability is the different characters all having their own unique builds (and multiple of them at that). This game tries hard to be creative with you being able to grab any 2 classes but in the end it really doesn't make them feel all that different from each other. The classes are only really good for one thing so it doesn't leave much room for experimentation

We all played it when it came out, which we all had a good time with it, but once your done with the first playthrough you start to see the actual issue. For me personally, I am such a Borderlands fan, this was just fun for me to play. Not that it didn't have it's issues(it definitely does), but having that new coat of paint for basically the same game was enough for me to enjoy this on it's own because it's different enough where I can play it when I'm bored of the other games.

Heck the two side characters that are suppose to be playing the game with you, are not even in the game with there own characters. Lorelai transitioning to Lor in this game.

I've always hated the overabundance of legendry's in the latest games of the series.

Foundations that after end game and some Chaos Chamber playing, after I had beaten all 4 raid bosses, I jjst sat back and waited and wondered, "Well that was fun, I wonder what's next? I can't wait to see what updates and additions they have in store for the game." Well here we are now and since then I have never picked the game back up. Not even since after they added those Mirror things. I just didn't have any incentive to play anymore. What a load of dung like actually wtf? Gearbox had a very strong foundation for a very special game to stand on, but they kept it barren and naked and empty. It was just sad to see how quickly Gearbox dropped the game's development. It could in a weird way have been like the TPS we never got, an extra BL game for the franchise aside from the main numbered entries that is as big and vast as one of them. Welp that never happened. I remember coming up with ideas as to possible DLCs with my friends. Ideas of different fantasy like places and settings Tina could think up of. Maybe having some other BL characters like Marcus or Brick or Mordecai make their own smaller-set DLC-sized campaigns where they tell the story and are the Bunker Master lol. Yeah we all ended up forgetting Wonderlands existed after a while 😂. Fkn pathetic honestly.

[@ronchum5178]

Idk how they think they could get me to care about a throwaway joke from Handsome Jack's voice actor. How up your own ass as a writer do you have to be where "butt stalion" is "so epic funny XD XD" that it deserved to go this far. It's the epitome of the toxic cringe that Gearbox fosters.

[@krisius1]

It wasn’t funny, the classes were uninteresting and the guns were kinda boring. Just didn’t enjoy my time and found the dialogue was so obnoxious I just stopped playing shortly after getting into the city.

What makes it the weakest of all is, we've already played Bunkers and Badasses. We know the jokes where a place starts out all nice, then Tina remembers everything is supposed to be bad so it suddenly shifts. We all know the uber sad feels with Roland and her missing palying with him. It's the same with the skill trees, just a bunch of re-hash.

I haven't played this game for about 6 month or more and when I decided to replay it, it started to lag spike for some reason. Yee great game which can even work. Playing bl2 and bl3 no problem with fps. Bl3 , wonderlands , new tales and that borderlands movie writing already have me disappointed about bl4. If that game sucks rip this franchise. Also wonderlands scammed fans with dlc season pass.

[@WarrenLeggatt]

It failed because of the structure of the game. The BIG issues for me were - No NG+, really. So just as you leveled to max so now can't use build - No story DLC. Perfect setting for big story DLC but no, chaos chambers - F^&k chaos chambers, they were just boring as F. I enjoyed my one and only play through the story though :)

There’s a chance. But hopefully the backlash from bl3’s attempts at this practice will keep any potential battle pass plans locked away in the vault. But hey man, that’s what I’m here for. To give you the up front and honest truth of what’s going on with borderlands and sprinkle in my take on it

The gameplay itself was fine, its a dnd spoof (which i love) so the name change to fatemaker didn't bother me at all... what pissed me off the most about it was the lack of TRUE expansions... what they pawned off as expansions should have been free updates not paid content... and after the backlash after the 1st "nothing expansion" what did they do? The exact same thing over and over, way to listen to the fanbase gearbox....

[@kait2972]

You seem to be entirely unaware that there are a group of borderlands fans old enough to play games as a single player story and then put the game down. We aren't interested in endlessly playing one game for years on end. For us, wonderlands is a fantastic spin off and the lack of any real end game hasn't tainted our experience.

[@measlesplease1266]

That's what I'm saying. This game feels like Borderlands 1, no over the top inflation in damage for no reason that makes gear obsolete every 3 levels. Purples are actually usable and can be better than legendaries at times. These speedrunner types that need to optimize the hell out of a game to the point of being unfun are ruining the series.

Yepppp, literally not worth the money at all. I agree

[@daviddamasceno6063]

Borderlands 2 was really a special game, and Tiny Tina was definitely a big part of it. She was very well writen, as every other character. Her quirks have a meaning and the more you get to know her the more you care. Even the RPG session on the DLC adds a lot of meaning to her behavior. It's the reason I came to hate her on every other game. She never matured, she never grew up, they kept her as this caricature of herself, deprived of any depth, meaning or development. Quirks alone can't sustain a character, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was yet another game that tried to capitilize on her quirks. That just doesn't work, that doesn't resonate with the audience, specially those who played the Godtier game Borderlands 2. Unless they understand why that game was succesful, every new release will be met with indiference.

[@quademasters249]

Agree. Borderlands peaked with 2. It's been down hill ever since. Makes me thing the original devs must have aged out or been fired.

[@ishee9857]

[@theophilus7422]

As a genuinely enthusiastic Borderlands player I can honestly state the majority of us disliked the utter failure of B3. TTW is nothing more than suitable spinoff of B3. I haven't played it, and have ZERO interest in doing so. Thanks for your informative video, hellfire.

No problem at all, borderlands 3 was like gearbox taking a crap on our face and this game was them rubbing it in 💀

[@rainestorm6029]

....your argument is literally "it wasn't for me so it was bad >:("

[@gregorybrazell5133]

Outside the things you pointed out, my biggest gripe was how the game still focused on guns. We had a character a decade ago that should have been focused on melee, and the loot lists should have included them as options to equip instead of a gun, so the attack button would activate melee attacks. This would have led into BL3 and Amara with her focus on melee. Instead, Amara works best when equipped with a specific GUN that fires punches. Then, TTW would have had it built in that fantasy RPG characters could choose to use melee weapons instead of ranged weapons (go figure, right?). Instead, they kept to the 'everyone loves guns!! Why would they ever want to use melee instead??' crap... despite having characters that would definitely choose melee since the second frikkin game.

Wonderlands would be praised, instead of hated, if it were released as an expansion for BL3 rather than a stand-alone game; and if the price reflected this also. The game is actually a really fun concept just like the BL2 dlc assault on Dragon Keep was, but ultimately it was too lazily done to be on its own.

[@luvr381]

I've played every single one of them, My personal favorite is the very first one, because it carried me through hard times, my second one is Borderlands 2 (obviously fan favorite) but gotta say, I am really having a blast with Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, the game mechanics are cool and having melee weapons and all feels fresh.

So many millions of dollars wasted on Wonderlands + the movie..they could have just put out those extra Borderlands TPS DLC’s and actually profited.

[@buddybleeyes]

I got it when it was £20 for everything after i completed BL3. I played with no sound because the story was absolutely bs, i did not care one bit. The only thing I'll say is it still feels like BL in movement and shooting- which cant be beat imo. I fully agree with you no one should waste their time with the game. I finished it and didnt bother with endgame grind or dlc. I love DND and BL, but this did not work due to writing

[@Thunderlord_Tozn]

Honestly the biggest issues with this game was the lack of endgame content and lack of additional story from DLCs. I think other than those two things, the game overall is very enjoyable.

[@invalidblackout]

I bought the game and played it with a buddy. (Same one from a pearl from the Tina slots 😂) We both enjoyed a first playthrough and never went back. I hated the chaos chambers, I thought they were pointless and never bought any other dlc for Wonderlands. However, I'm scared that the amount of money gearbox made from that BS. This is gonna be a thing they keep doing. Also side note. For 10 years, I wanted the original loot chest for BL2 and I finally got it last year in mint condition. It's not my craziest BL2 thing in my collection. I have one better, that I personally carried on the bus home. However, it feels like it's come full circle. 🤘

[@SyckestBlah]

When they first increased the Chaos levels, I jokingly commented under a video that their next step would be to increase it to 100 next. I hated being right about that. I slogged through the first increase, but I think I didn't even bother finishing the CL100 once. I might have stopped at around 70ish. I had played the entire main game once, and the only incense for playing it again was for a friend of mine to watch via Discord. The biggest gripe I had was the melee integration. I LOVE melee. I especially love melee in shooters. The melee weapons also were somewhat viable. Mostly outclassed by guns, but still very strong - UNTIL the final boss, which is a mandatory fight, has several phases that are completely unreachable by melee, as well as some other side quest bosses haveing the same issue, and I think 2 of the PLC bosses as well. "Here, have some melee. But screw you if you want to be a purist about it!" Then they added guns that melee bonuses. Which is crap, for two reasons: 1) They were stronger than actually melee'ing, so the solution to melee problems was simply not playing melee, but just scaling off the melee stat. 2) It simply felt like not playing melee. They deny the fantasy that they themselves were giving me, of running into enemies and hacking at them, or smashing them to bits. But yeah, Wonderlands is a GREAT game for a single playthrough. If you can grab it for 20€, you'll have a wonderful time for that money. Just don't replay it for a while and don't bother with the endgame.

[@danben6956]

Man just played it, I'm at the beginning still, but it's so much fun, not taking itself seriously is amazing, feels like a relief from the serious toned game market of today, something that I play with a smile to enjoy, not as a job to get better at it, to unlock something, or to finish the most number of good games as possible, just fun, I just miss that in games nowadays with all the competitive, life service and big triple A games of today

[@shakeybonessrh]

Yet it sold extremely well. Andy sandberg and Wanda Sykes and the villain were actually really cool. Although I never went through it again or treated it like a boardlands game. I went through it once and I was good on it. I only remember torque, really. I heard the dlcs were absolutely horrendous though. I never went back for em. Oh yeah the stupid luck system. I’m ready for a legendary banner.

[@MartyriaDoll]

i gave the game like 3 whole playthroughs, i think coming back and running through the story every so often is pretty much the best this game has going for it, which is admittedly how i like playing Borderlands mostly anyways. not having extra story content DLCs to either get even wackier with the setting or flesh out some of the interesting characters the game introduces was a huge mistake and of course the chaos chambers are kinda shit. although i will give the caveat that i'd actually like to see chaos chambers or something similar return to borderlands or maybe an eventual wonderlands sequel, but it absolutely CAN NOT be the only offering for endgame activities and loot needs to be target farmable more efficiently. i just think the randomized rogue-lite style dungeon runs is a good addition to the franchise it's just the execution was... messy.

Only problem I had was the same problem I had with Presequel: lackluster endgame that equates to little more than hours of grinding. 2 and 3 had enough space and dedicated drops to justify sticking around after the credits. This one really didn't have that much and the DLC was just more grinding.

[@cordell224]

It still upsets me that I pre-ordered this game and got the special edition that included all the "DLCs" or what I thought was promised as DLCs at the time due to my faithfulness to the franchise of the Borderlands games, also bc doing that was usually $10-15 dollars cheaper than buying them individually. Because of this I will never do it again especially not for Gearbox
