I finished the episode. Good one, not anything groundbreaking in gameplay of course but I think it maintains the quality. Probably a bit better than episode 2.
Best moments:

Loader Bot is my friend again Smile
Sasha don’t let go!!!!!!!  Wink
Crazy action sequence at the end
Lots of familiar faces from the Borderlands universe

Next episode should be good and shake up thing a bit judging from the preview.

Edit: I started playing The Pre-Sequel recently. It’s pretty cool that the end Athena story in here ties directly into the beginning that game.

Finished episode 3 and I feel this was the best in the series so far. A good mix of action, story development and character development. The main characters seem to be adapting to everything in an interesting way leading us to new mechanics too which I like.

Despite the comedy nature of it sometimes, they’re actually building quite a compelling story that has me itching to see what happens. Just who is dragging them around Pandora I wonder.

Loader bot is cool. I hope they fix him

I guess it has to be someone that is already part of the story but I can’t really see who for now. Maybe that blonde guy? (don’t remember the name)

August? Maybe…I was thinking it’s a trick and it’s the girl from that spaceship on the moon that Rhys worked with.

I finished episode 3 and I thought it was a major improvement over episode 2 - I just hope episode 4.  Continues this trend.

Ridiculously forced out cliche action sequences,barely funny script moves further away from first episode’s suprising sensation.

The third episode was really disappointing, reminded me of a bad episode of Archer.

Finished episode 4. I enjoyed it. There’s some little twists in the plot and a really funny scene with accountants (lol). It ends on a great point and whoever has picked the music in this series is doing a great job. They’re really finding some gems that fit the mood well.

Later half in Corporate was great overall, treachery, possession, accountants, tourists etc.
I let him take control over my mind considering the tale is retelling of the events.
And the guy who is interrogating is probably a Vault hunter.

Gonna be my last TTG purchase, unless they do TWAU level job on Marvel game or beef up animations and engine.

Think I’m in the same boat there. Nothing coming out by them at the moment is grabbing me and considering how much success they’ve had, you’d expect them to get this engine running better by now.

I like their games and I will still buy them. However, you’d think they’d get them running better by now, although the new batch of games are still fun, I don’t see any progress in graphics or playability.

I think since TWDS2, they’ve moved even further away from gameplay sadly. At least in S1, you could walk around environments and explore areas like the school, hotel, farm etc. Now it seems like scenes to scene and nothing more. TWAUS1 was far better in this as you are a detective mind.

Well #4 is a borderline borderland episode allright.

Finished episode #4. The change of scenery was welcome. There was serious story development and I loved the “parody/fun” action scene in the middle of the game.

Also, great ending to the episode. Now I’m in total control of Hyperion with Handsome Jack on my side. Nice! Smile

Finally played episode 4 in preparation for the release of the final one next week.

What not expecting the Scooter death. Does this mean he won’t show up on Borderlands 3? Seems impossible.
The accountants scene… Perfect dose of absolutely ridiculous! Also shotting the unicorn Smile
The episode was still pretty funny like the rest of them but like always they start to limit interactions and make episodes shorter when you start to get to the end of the season…
Handsome Jack taking over was very predictable. Even when I tried to resist all the way since the start. I hope this is not a setup for him being the villain again in Borderlands 3… he was great but I’ve had enough of him.
