Unlike the Borderlands shooter games, Tales of. The game was initially released on November 25th, 2014 for PC/Mac, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, on November 26th for Xbox One, on December 3rd for Xbox 360, and on December 18th for iOS and Android. It’s a real “it’s the journey, not the destination” kind of situation. Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic graphic adventure game series developed by Telltale Games, with creative input from Gearbox Software. In short, the story gets really hokey at the end – regardless of which ending your choices lead you to – killing the momentum it had carefully built through its first four episodes.
I have no complaints about the pacing or character development in episodes 1-4, but the finale not only overstays its welcome – with a drawn-out fixation on painstakingly dragging each of the three protagonists through a journey of self-discovery – it also careens the plot off a cliff of sci-fi stupidity that seems misplaced even in Borderlands’s anything-goes universe. I’m not sure you could fail one if you tried, and while that in and of itself isn’t unforgivable, there’s also no better reward for acing these sequences instead of simply passing them.īut where New Tales really does drop the ball is in its final episode, none of which I’ll show here for spoiler reasons. These activities are a nice diversion on paper, but they’re all laughably simple. New Tales tries to give your hands more to do by occasionally letting you wander around a scene, examining objects and opening crates for cash that you’ll never be able to spend all of on the cache of cosmetic character skins, or participate in minigames such as hacking or the Vaultlander action-figure fights.
