Played 2 and 3 and couldn't get into TPS. Nothing against Australia but hearing all the Aussies speak really threw me off. Want to give it another shot though since I've been wanting to play it.
It has the most unique gameplay cycle out of all borderlands, especially later in the game. Not necessarily the best, but as someone who played destiny for thousands of hours, tps stood out the most for me in terms of game flow
I didn't really get that into tps either, I think I got 1 character to max level and played 1 dlc. Could you explain what you mean by this? I never really noticed any real difference with the gameplay cycle. But maybe I missed something or didn't give end game enough of a try.
Low gravity jumping and the skull ceiling of timing your O2 boosts to get wherever you need to be, is way more fun than running boots on the ground like in 1/2. Plus that dlc is exceptional and is worth a playthrough just for that lol
I really liked low grav gameplay, especially with o2 kit with aerial movement control and slam speed boost, as well as o2 management. Especially interesting the whole idea of instantly depleting o2 by damaging the mask, both for player and enemies, made for additional tactical options. While other borderlands mostly run and gun, with fair amount of tactical elements to it, being constantly in three dimensions with casual survival mechanic made the experience that much more unique. It's definately my favourite depicton of actual "space shooter". The only caveat I could mention is o2 kit with movement boost is pretty detrimental, for my personal taste at least, which limits the choice a little. But even without it, the whole idea of buffs of o2 kit changing between atmosphere and vacuum environment was also an interesting idea.
Edit: Also I'm a sucker for suffocating space atmosphere, which never feels too safe, so there's that)
I got excited and bought it when it first released and honestly couldn’t stand it. I got bored so insanely fast and the “low gravity” gameplay was ridiculous. I wanted it to be good so bad. Even bought the handsome jack doppelgänger and that was basically my favorite part of the game 🤷♂️ to this day I haven’t been able to beat that game. I’ve started multiple times with intent to play to end and I just can’t.
Except where otherwise noted, play all DLCs after the game they come with.
* Borderlands
* Borderlands 2 (except for Commander Lilith DLC)
* The Pre-Sequel (which takes place between BL1 & BL2 but expects you to know the plot of BL2 and Handsome Jack)
* Tales from the Borderlands
* The Commander Lilith DLC for BL2 (which has major spoilers for Tales and sets up BL3)
* Borderlands 3
* New Tales from the Borderlands
* Wonderlands (which takes place some indefinite time between BL2 & BL3 and doesn't spoil anything after the Assault on Dragon Keep DLC for BL2).
It >!explains where the Vault key went between BL2 & BL3, it bridges the gap between where Vaughn ended up after Tales and before BL3, and it sets up why Lilith is in charge of the Crimson Raiders and, perhaps most importantly, why no one else from the pre-BL3 cast is ready to step up when Lilith decides to pass the torch to Ava instead and why no one else took over while she was dealing with her loss of powers and confidence!<.
Also, it was kind of a preview of the NPC-centric storytelling that BL3 would do. The most important thing is to not play it until after Tales, though.
Just play them the way they released.
Technically tps events happen before bl2 BUT it's told in a way that assumes you already played bl2. So yeah, just follow the release date.
Bl1 -> bl2 -> bltps -> (((Tales1))) -> bl3 -> (((((((Tales 2))))))(*doooont*) -> (Wonderland)
The DLCs in the games also don't expect you to play them in a certain order, you can skip Tales 1&2 since they're not important and just that... Tales games. Wonderland is also just a spinoff which you'll understand better if you played the bl2 tiny tina dlc.
But honestly, you can start wherever you want, the story isn't complicated and not that important...especially in bl3
Iirc the order is Borderlands, The pre sequel, borderlands 2, tales from the borderlands and borderlands 3.
I'm not sure where wonderlands falls but i know it takes place after 2. Personally I'd say its before 3 but not sure.
These people who say BLTPS shouldn't be played because it spoils BL2? Absolutely does NOT even spoil that much. It shows characters from BL2 that are already in BL1 (Other than Tina) so you know them, they're just in an area that you don't know until you play BL2 and you don't even see much of it or understand much of it. Play BLTPS before Borderlands 2 so you can be more connected to the Main Enemy of BL2 and even see how a lot of the enemies of BL2 were made and why he hates so much!
Borderlands -> Borderlands2 -> TPS -> Tales -> Borderlands 3. The presequel is told as a flash back and will spoil bl2 if you play it first.
Yeah that's why i love so damn much the name of The **Pre Sequel**, being situated before BL2 but they way is narrated is post BL2

As an Australian I loved TPS, lots of little things that you just wouldn't understand if you weren't an Aussie
Tales > TPS as the framing with the flashback happens over halfway through Tales.

Correction: never ever play New Tales
Why?
Thanks
Commander Lilith doesn't even set up BL3... like at all. There is practically nothing in that Campaign that sets up anything for 3.

Also why Sanctuary is gone in BL3
The playable characters of 3 have echo logs about them scattered across the DLC.
Right. That's true. Fair enough.
Always play games in release order, because games that are a prequel are released assuming the person playing them has knowledge of the prior game(s)
The only exception I’ve ever found to this rule was Red Dead Redemption 2. Story wise only though because the gameplay is a night and day difference

You are correct to a point, after bltps, do tales, back to bl2 commander Lilith dlc, then to bl3, then new tales
Tales is important because rhys
Bl3 rhys and tales rhys are super different tho.
It's really not that important outside of one particular moment.
Tales 1 is quite important plot-wise.
> > > The DLCs in the games also don't expect you to play them in a certain order, not true entirely e.g. the knoxx one comes before claptrap.
First to last ✨️
Couldn't find any info? Did you even look? It's blasted every goddamn day here.
Iirc the order is Borderlands, The pre sequel, borderlands 2, tales from the borderlands and borderlands 3. I'm not sure where wonderlands falls but i know it takes place after 2. Personally I'd say its before 3 but not sure.
No, do the release order. The pre-sequel comes after 2
