Not what I was expecting...
Please don't take this as a negative because I still REALLY liked Episode 2. It just went into a route I was not even expecting...Like wow that Episode was kinda bleak compared to Episode 1. It's no near Walking Dead levels but, wow that last choice and that fucking preview...JESUS Telltale! I like the direction this series is going!
I'm just gonna spoiler tag this so you can express your opinion's and such

I didn't laugh as hard as Episode one but this episode was amazing and that opening music scene, just perfect.
Dude that intro was absolutely phenomenal! 10/10
That's what saddens me the most. I kinda liked how TftB was different from Borderlands series being more funny and easy going. Even violence was funny, without the undertone like madness or creepiness. I hope they'll lighten up again in ep3... but who am I kidding.
I didn't know how they were going to handle it but I saw it and I was just stunned.
I felt this episode exceeded episode 1 in every way possible. I thought it was much more interesting, much funnier, way better paced and had a much more hype ending.
I loved it too but I agree it took a darker tone. Not a bad thing, but noticeable.
I was having a bad day and this lifted my sprits up to max so who am I kidding...IT WAS FUNNY!
Honestly, it was nothing I expected at all.
Episode one was a bit more humorous and light-hearted, while episode two is still funny, but takes a bit a darker turn. Absolutely loved it. I love the direction it's going in so far and I absolutely cannot wait for episode three. Not even that, it managed to re-ignite my love for the series, despite falling out of it over the long break.
Great job, TellTale! Definitely worth the wait.
I thought Episode 1 was better, but this was still great, and that intro was phenomenal. It was a little darker, but still had some very humorous moments.
Great. Like we needed another one game like this. Like we totally don't have that depressing bunch - TWAU, TWD, GOT and the whole Borderlands series. TellTale, this is totally uncool.
In the matter of funny nothing will ever beat ep1 and Saints row 3-4. This episode left a bitter aftertaste, tho I admire I had a good laugh.
This episode didn't feel as memorable as Episode one but it was still great and I love it.
I liked first episode tiny bit more, but the second one was awesome too. This is slowly becoming my favourite Telltale game I've played.
Who said Borderlands can't be dark? This also isn't even that bleak.
Which is kinda sad too. And here I though they could've done even better in the time given.
Ugh...Don't even start that. This was great and well worth the wait. Yes, it wasn't a rollercoaster of laughs like episode one but it was still a great episode and I'm glad they didn't over do the jokes.
Borderlands IS dark. Especially BL2 - creepy as fck. Tales from the Borderlands wasn't. And it was damn great in it's own way exactly because it was different being a Borderlands game at the same time.
So Tales, taking place in the EXACT same universe and has the same ideas can't be good unless it's over the top and not dark.
What?
Nope. Just nope.
You have your opinion and I have mine, nothing will change that.
Whatever.
They can be "good". Which doesn't mean everyone should like them, especially since it was not what we saw in the first episode - and it' kinda logical to be prepared for the same approach they used instead preparing for the madness of BL2.
Excellent argument. Very thorough too.
Oh yes because your argument was excellent, just remembered you responded to me and that you decided to pull the opinion card buddy.
Okay, what the hell are you talking about?
The first episode was all about introducing people to the universe and characters and showing just how wacky and crazy this series is going to be, episode 2 reminds us that this universe still has some stakes and people you care about can die at any moment or stab you in the back at any moment, and it wasn't even that dark.
Doesn't mean you should answer or act like a 12 years old if you don't like something someone wrote.
You realize it's not going to get back to being any "brighter" anytime soon don't you.
And I'm saying I liked that pure humor of ep1 more than this - I don't know how to call "this".
I said "Whatever", get over it.
So....episode 2 is a downgrade because it goes a little bit darker?
There's a DICK joke in this episode, so it's not bleak.
How the freak do you know that this series is going to be bleak through and through, episode 3, 4, and 5 might actually be a little more light hearted, but we don't know that because they're not out yet.
Relax guys I was mostly talking about the final scene.
Definitely, but I think that's more suited to Borderlands.
Since when did Tales go dark? Literally one of the funniest moments in this episode is scooping an eyeball out of someone with a spork. I don't see where the dark turn is taking place.
Well now, that's funny.
Okay, this is going nowhere fast, I'm not going to waste my time here. Bye.
There's a difference between depressing and dark.
Besides, if you didn't appreciate TWAU and TWD's darker themes, why would you play them?
Not... a little bit, like 50% more.
There was a dick joke in the first one.
Yes, a dick joke where Handsome Jack imitates a talking dick with a cartoony voice.
You sir, have a point.
The eye is nothing actually, it's the atmosphere and whatnot. It's hard to explain it, it's a feeling. But almost everyone can agree there are far less moments to laugh on something this time. Also, there are less witty and funny comments from characters too.
I know. In the first ep there was a dick joke from Vasquez, in ep 2 it was from Jack. Kinda even.
Humor is trial and error. There were some lines in episode 1 I didn't find funny.
