When Rhys pulls out his cybernetic eye (his left eye), the string connecting it to the socket suddenly switches from his left to his right. There was one moment, however, where there was a graphical problem. Some of the new character designs were absolutely amazing too (The Guardians looked absolutely beautiful). The characters looked nice and the game flowed smoothly. The consequences of these choices weren’t super important, but at least they were more important than the consequences I've received in previous Telltale games. Choices I made in the previous episodes had actual impact on what choices I could make in this episode. because no matter what happens, you’re still going to get the exact same ending as everyone else (there’s only one ending, so what’s the point of choices?), but at least they mattered more. Your choices actually mattered quite a lot, as well. Though the last chapter was extremely long compared to the previous five, the pacing felt good overall. Like some awesome comedic quips here and there. Where's the comic relief? There were positives. I understand that the sadness is necessary, but pushing it all to the end just didn't work.
That made this episode feel out of place. The game was meant to be funny, and while there are still funny quips here and there throughout the episode, there wasn’t much compared to the rest of the episodes. However, it was too much sadness all at once.
#TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS ROMANCE SERIES#
All the sadness was packed into this one episode, pushing out most of the comedy and quips the series is known for. Once I got past the fact that these were annoying because of the predictable and forced nature of them, I realized they were supposed to be sad. There was a lot of sadness in this episode due to all the tragedies. Pushing endless sadness doesn't work in a game centered around comedy I’m not sure why it was necessary for Telltale and Gearbox to throw that wrench in there right at the end it didn’t hold any significance to what happened afterwards. Fiona seriously dropped everything and held up the entire story, to wonder about their romance. This was even more frustrating right at the end. There are quite a few moments where everything stops to add this romance into the mix. I still don’t understand it it stills feels forced to me, and it got worse in this episode. I couldn’t help but just put down my controller and sigh, because I knew that it was cheap way to make all the characters useful for the final fight.Īnother big issue is the “romance” between Rhys and Sasha. As cool as the concept is, it makes the entirety of the last fight a little extreme and over-the-the top. I can’t forget the “digi-adapting” aspect of this episode either (you’ll know it when you get to it).
Honestly, it felt as if characters were being killed off just so there wouldn’t have to be any sort of conclusion or ending to them you don’t have to finalize the story for a character if they’re dead. But it all happened at once in this final chapter. Pandora and Hyperion are messed up planets, so people are bound to die. Some parts of the episode felt very forced, particularly in regard to to all the deaths that occurred throughout the episode. Moments like the reveal of Fiona and Rhys’s capturer, the psycho, and the mysterious gift from Felix all felt flat and longer than they needed to be. Oftentimes, I found myself wishing the game would just get on with it, because what was about to happen was so obvious that I just didn’t want to deal with Telltale and Gearbox dragging it out any more.
This made the beginning of the episode feel very underwhelming/ Thus, a lot of the high-intensity situations weren’t very intense at all. I know that certain things have to happen to get to the future I’ve already seen. I know there are some characters that won’t die. This winds up taking away a lot of the suspense for the episode. I had the same problem with this episode as I did the previous episodes: most of the storyline we get to play is told through flashbacks.
