Law & Border(lands)Īnd the more time I spent with this unlikely crew, the more I found to love about them.
Add in Borderlands' signature blend of mayhem, vaults, treasure, monsters, and a generous dollop of psychos, of course, and you're in for an outrageously good time. Goliath story, pitting three underdogs – a nerd, a street kid, and a fabulously perma-angry proprietor of a neon pink froyo diner – against the might of a cold megacorp. Even if they seem a little generic, maybe even predictable, at first blush. Whilst this is a standalone title designed to sit alongside, rather than directly follow, the original as a card-carrying sequel, New Tales from the Borderlands is astonishingly good at making you care about its people. It's one thing to cause a catastrophe because you hit X instead of B it's another to cause one because you mistimed grabbing a drink.īecause if it's not already clear by now: you will care about who lives and dies.
This feature not only warns you when a QTE is about to appear, but it also tells you what kind of QTE it is going to be, giving you ample opportunity to prep your fingers in advance and be ready on the buttons, the stick, or the trigger. Quick Time Event Warning (selected from the settings menu) is a godsend if, like me, you have the reaction speeds of a limp lettuce, and routinely get lost in the long dialog and worldbuilding.
It's possible my favorable outcome was because I'd played using a fabulous new feature that gives you a head's up that a QTE is coming up.
