  • I'm not being rude in the slightest, you're just not willing to accept one thing anyone says despite all the different points that don't align with your personal wishes.

    Having looked over this discussion, I'm inclined to agree with Sharkhunter21 on this. I don't really see how telling someone to look into the greater universe is bullying.

    The_Duck, I don't think it's necessary to accuse Sharkhunter21 of bullying if these posts are all you have to go off of. Please try to stay civil and on topic. If you think a user is breaking forum guidelines (which Sharkhunter21 was not), please flag them instead of engaging them. That being said, constructive disagreement is not bullying and Sharkhunter21 hasn't done anything wrong from what I've seen in this thread.

    You are only making the problem worse. He's already insulted me, and when I politely said we should agree to disagree, he kept at it. And then he started talking about how he would around to do the same in other discussions. It's a passive-aggressive kind, but it IS bullying, and I don't like it. There's nothing constructive about calling me an idiot and implying you are going to stir up similar trouble in other discussions when politely asked to stop.

    Also, it seems that several of his more offensive posts were already deleted.

    You were not being insulted, if you'd like to discuss this privately, go ahead and send me a message. My intention was never to start anything up with the intention of being offensive, just to discuss the topic and the points we were making. We can go ahead and move on otherwise.

  • Well sorry to say, but too damn bad. This is what's going to happen and it's what mostly everyone wants. Telltale isnt going to take a complete 360 for one guy.

    I for one hope Rhys, Sasha and Fiona are vault hunters or atleast DLC characters for Borderlands 3.

    Specially when mostly everyone has been convincing you overwise and your immediate response is "no but i dont want it so it has to happen my way and be non-canon cause thats what I WANT!"

    The most who want it the way it is, out weigh what you or this "plenty" want, andi ts what gearbox wants to do anyway. You can't exactly stop that.

  • Oh it will be. I'm sure of that. An example is how they integrated Athena in TPS from her appearance in BL1's DLC : Armory of general Knoxx, and then how they integrated her capture in TFTB to close the loop of the narration in TPS. It shows between the 3 RPG-shooter games already that they take care of their story. So really whatever happens in TFTB wil have impacts for BL3 and nothing in BL3 will contradict what happens in TFTB.

    See this is the whole problem with your thread : you're fearing something that noone here knows if it's going tto happen or not. We have NO CLUE what's going to happen to Jack in the first place. So whether or not it's tied to the fact that TFTB is part of the Borderlands franchise, it still is going to be a surprise, I really don't understand why you're making all this fuss about it.

    I'm not sure you really do understand

    When will you stop with that ?

    Tales and the main series are two very different genres. One is like an interactive visual novel, while the other is a first-person shooter.

    It doesn't matter they're different genres, what supercedes this is the fact they're the same story, the same universe. And let me tell you, they're closer in genre than you might think.

    So newsflash, Borderlands isn't just a first-person shooter. It's a hybrid game, it's a RPG shooter.

    Leans closer so as to make sure I'm clearly heard :

    • Those games are organized into difficulty tiers. Example for TPS and BL2, you can play the storyline 3 times, once in STORY mode, then True Vault-Hunter Mode, then Ultimate Vault-Hunter Mode. (BL2 even has OP levels on top of that). The story mode is very easy, even for people not into shooters.

    • Those games are currently sold for a ridiculously low price, if you so desire, through the humble bundle charity website. It's a steal...

    People that are really into TFTB and like its universe and its characters are really doing themselves a disservice by not trying the BL games... At least the story modes.


    An friendly example about me and the game I usually play. I used to be only about shooters during the era of Doom, Unreal, Quake, etc... The pinnacle for me being Tribes 2, and when the company making this game shut down, I litterally stopped playing shooters and went into RPGs and MMOs. I never wanted to play shooters anymore ever again. 10 years later (or so) my brother gets me Borderlands 2 for my birthday. I was reluctant but tried it anyway, and actually enjoyed it A LOT because it was also a RPG with quests AND : a story !!!
    Still wasn't enough for me to also play BL1.
    Then came TPS and I chose to play it as Athena, and I loved the character. And one day I discovered she was an NPC in BL1 DLC, and only because I wanted to know more did I buy BL1 and all its DLCs. I didn't regreet it.

    See the pattern ?

    Because the same happened to me and TFTB. I was reluctant to buy TFTB : "one of those 'kind' of games... Yuck...", and yet I did and boy how was I so pleasantly surprised and got into it so much...

    Food for thoughts...

  • I hope you realise Telltale and Gearbox can't please everyone and the fact that you believe that Gearbox will screw things up with Tales From The Borderlands' story and Fiona and Rhys' characters is just silly. If you don't like what they do, that's fine, but at least have some respect. From what I've gathered you haven't played Borderlands, Borderlands 2 or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel so why does it affect you that much anyway? If you hate what is done to Borderlands 3, and Fiona and Rhys, then like Sharkhunter21 said before, you can always come back to Tales From The Borderlands and stick with how YOU made Fiona and Rhys to be.

  • You are putting a lot of words in my mouth. Once again, it's not about Borderlands. 3, but the fact that Tales could end up suffering as a result. Just returning back to Tales is not going to fix the problem of Tales becomes the problem.

  • There is no problem with my thread. If people can fear certain characters dying or becoming evil, then why can't I be concerned over something like this? You're being rude, and I still say you don't understand, because everything you post supports that.

    This is NOT about the main Borderlands series. It is about Tales. The main games could be the best things ever, but that doesn't we should be forced to play them in order to finish up the story started in Tales. Not everyone has those consoles or the money to buy four games and a bunch of DLC. Not everyone is good at or likes FPS games. And we shouldn't have to worry about the characters we molded just being changed.

  • Seriously? Can you stop trying to pick fights? You said you would move on, so do so. We discussed this at length already, and it became clear you would never see my point.

    And how does a stand alone game suffer from a whole other game?

  • There wouldn't be a problem if you would actually acknowledge and consider what everyone else keeps saying. And you really need to redefine what you think is rude or not, Shoogli hasn't said one thing that could be considered rude throughout their post.

    Tales is part of the main series, it's just it's own small story from TellTale that we get to play through, it follows everything that's happened since the latest in the timeline, Borderlands 2. And you're not forced to play them, Like I suggested, if you can't or aren't willing to buy them to play them since money seems to be n issue for you, watch videos or hit up those wikis. And YOU don't have to worry about these characters being changed since you wouldn't bother picking up Borderlands 3 regardless if it had our characters from Tales or not. Nothing affects YOU since throughout our discussion, you've made it clear you don't car one way or another to bother with the other games.

    So pray tell, just how does any of this hurt you in the slightest?
