The little dejected "Goodbye" Jonathan gives at the end of the video shows that we as a community have finally broken him.
You can really see the process with each subsequent weapon
You ain't wrong
@@kayagorzan Not as much with the Vanquisher. DAHL guns for the most part look... feasible-ish.
there's gonna come a point where one day he decides that he just cant do this anymore he cant deal with the absurdity of the weapons in games
@r33mote I can agree to that in some senses, I almost feel bad how some people just can't seem to laugh things off sometimes or take jokes, anyway though his misery is amusing
Someone ought to mention that the gimmick of Tediore weapons is that they're so cheaply made that it's more cost effective to discard the entire gun and automatically fabricate a new one than it is to reload it. Also they have a "feature" that causes them to explode when all the ammunition in the magazine is expended.
An exploding gun that's a feature? Nice
@@samholdsworth420 Yea you am the reload on them and get extra damage, LIKE A MENACE
Essentially like modern printers where sometimes a new printer is actually cheaper than buying another cartridge of ink for some reason.
They also all seemed to be styled after the Zip .22
I wonder why
They don’t just explode. Some fly and will follow you like a drone, shooting enemies. Some become mounted turrets. And some grow legs and run. They’re probably the most versatile of all the weapon types.
I'm glad they showed borderlands 3. But I recommend not having the skill tree enabled next time to demonstrate what the guns can do alone without modifiers.
100% agree.
Seems like the gameplay often has a cheat or ability enabled that muddles up the actual gunplay.
this.
@@spinal_capped Its just abilities that are affecting it. No cheats.
For example, the abilities they have enabled here are giving the gun ammo regen, every 4th shot deals fire damage(The red beam) and doesn't consume ammo, and every shot has a 20% chance to explode on the enemy dealing 75% of the gun's damage. These examples would definitely confuse john and he won't be able to understand how the gun actually functions unless they tell him.
It would be more convenient to disable the skill tree and turn off mayhem mode. That way, its not as chaotic and confusing.
Indeed, Borderlands series has some of the most creative weapon designs ever. It plays well to a certain degree of realism, making you intuitively understand why some parts of the gun are placed there while simultaneously making no sence with some ridiculous science-fantasy logic.
@@TAWEEYZZ I was more referring to the gameplay in these Expert Reacts vids in general. Like for Halo:CE, the rocket launcher had unlimited ammo, confusing Jon as to why the animation was so weird.
Killing Floor 2 has a great arsenal of weaponry that I think Johnathan would get a wide variety of reactions to. It's a great mix of realistic weaponry, creatively ridiculous weapons and plentiful destruction. I highly recommend it for a video. Would love to see it get given some attention.
First weapon i though of is Pulverizer Xd How to explain that weapon with logic tho.Its sledgehammer that could sorta shoot explosive shotgun bullets/shells when you attack with it...
@@YeshuaSaves726 My mind just goes to the evicerator. I mean a saw blade laucher will always be cool.
Agreed. Would like to add that KF2's weaponry is exceptional, in that the animations were motion-captured using a high frame rate, thus resulting in very detailed and smooth reload and inspect animations.
Just don't bother with the DLC weapons, they weren't motion-captured and done quite poorly in comparison to its launch weapons.
That’s what I’ve been saying XD
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this
Watching Jonathans mind break at the lunacy of Borderlands weapons is pure gold.
I felt he stayed behind the sane wall, carefully glancing over to pass comment on the insanity of his neighbours.
Been suggesting this for months
The thing is even though he's doing what he's been asked to, he's kind of approaching it with an incorrect perspective. He is bringing in assumptions and expectations of the current level of development and technology from this planet to a setting that isn't placed on earth and doesn't have the same limitations and line of evolution of technology that we have.
I would love to see Warframe guns being taken a look at, especially the more "conventional", "firearm-like" weapons
Yeah we need that
Would be interesting to see Jonathon's take on warfare both projectile weapons and melee
Karak; taking tac-sacs to the next level...
I would love to see his take on what handguns he sees having influence on the Lex's design
Hind aka The "Baguette Gun"
Gammacor " The floating sticks"
The transforming sister Suitcase guns
Two seemingly contradictory thoughts: How have we not done "Doom" or some other, more classic games yet, and, 2, I feel like as an apology we should do a few in which we don't actively try to hurt poor Johnathan.
Yes ! Even brutal doom would be awesome lol a little more detail than classic doom
Yeah Doom 2016 and Eternal, and also much more breaking of John Furg, also they should do wolfenstein
they shouldve showed the hellwalker.
My favorite little detail is when you're reloading a COV weapon and you pull out what looks like a modern pistol but it's actually a squirt gun to cool the weapon down because every other gun is so crazy looking
Never mind how dangerous it would be to the user IRL, potential steam burns. Also extremely high barrel wear is a given, since you fire the gun until it overheats and jams and giving the barrel a cold shock to cool it down, means that it is going to start warping and cracking pretty quickly
@@ryanchen8403 ehh, they're made by a bunch insane people who hang around psychopaths citing Shakespeare and rambling about meat bicycles.
@@ryanchen8403 I feel like a gun on fire in your hands is going to be doing a lot more damage than some steam that equals to about a tablespoon of water.
It's not just a squirt gun. Sometimes you pull out a bottle of "soda" and use it to cool the weapon down, sometimes (particularly on the launchers) you use some sort of cable, possibly a separate starting motor, to get the gun's internal engine running again...
...and sometimes you just rip the old barrel off and cram a new one in its place. If anyone tried to build CoV guns IRL, they would probably be more dangerous to the shooter than to the target.
@@patrikhjorth3291 I mean, they are basically built by "savage" bandits. They use whatever they get their hands on and cobble em together to make something workable. Sadly that means they tend to be made rather shoddily.
I'd actually like to see his reaction to the specific Manufacturers of Borderlands and a bit about their histories and quirks. I don't know if that would be enough for a video, but if there is another one about this game that would be a great addition.
Seems like a 3/4 part series to show the progress of how each manufacturer started to differentiate themselves
Jonathan “we did Vandguard this can’t be too bad….can it?”
Great video with some weird guns. At least Borderlands is actually a decent game
I quite liked 1 and 2, but I fear I'd have to find a way to completely mute the voice overs before I could continence going near 3. 🤣
That brand of "American sitcom where talking fast and excitedly like a braindead teenager on really bad speed is substituted for actual jokes" humour really makes me want to put something through my monitor.
@@peterclarke7240 you just described the humor of the borderlands series.....
Helmed by a known lunatic
Decent? It's amazing, better than 99% of shooting games, even though it doesn't fall under the conventional fps like CS, BF or CoD (🤮), Borderlands literally blows them up and outta the water 😂
@@eze9236 And that’s why the world is unique as not everyone agrees. But that’s okay.
I like how Jonathan's reactions vary between "I'm gonna try to make sense of this in the context of the game's world" and "Yep that sure is a gun"
"I'm upset that you *have* shown me this."
I feel like Jonathan would be a great guy to have a pint with.
I'd love for him to see some of the guns from Bioshock 1, 2, Infinite. Just to see how historically accurate they could be.
Or maybe thats just me
Most of the infinite guns are like back-engineered versions of more modern guns which is pretty interesting
same
@@jwdoddsjd I wonder if the logic there is that they're based on modern weaponry seen through the tears?
@@tbotalpha8133 yeah thats exactly it, same with the anachronistic music
Bioshock would be a realy cool addition to the series!
I have been WAITING for this one. Disappointed he didn't see the Torgue weapons, the VLADOV ars with their multiple barrels, or Tediore as a whole. Hyperion would also be an interesting manufacturer to see (given their weird curves).
they could be coming in pt 2
Would also love to see mention that the weapon parts cannot be chosen and you have to get lucky to get specific parts. In the case of BL3 there are way too many parts to really farm anything, which is nice.
Then he should do bl1 due to the fact tourge was different back then. Not to mention s&s munitions
Don’t forget maliwan and atlas plus I’d say some of the vladof pistols might calm him down
@@matthew_natividad The closest to average looking modern pistol Borderlands 3 has is probably Dahl pistols, if I'm honest.
Jonathan should also react to the red orchestra/ rising storm weapons , there are some interesting stuff in there
Last time he did that, the guns turned out to be so true to life that Jonathan found nothing to nitpick and ended up talking about the guns' history instead.
@@Alpostpone that still sounds great! I think the series should feature fantastic examples of guns, interspersed between the absurd and terrible example of course.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, thank you for reviewing Borderlands 3’s guns!!!!!
I so wanted his thoughts on the phenomenon of talking guns and you made it happen. Please guys, I want some more!!!!
Borderlands is the Monster Hunter of guns, so this will probably make him go insane.
Let's add Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and the fantasy/magic-powered guns to the mix.
"We fwow this wifle woughly to the fwowr" Wasn't expecting Life of Brian but it's a welcome suprise. Also, I think a part 2 to the Hunt: Showdown video would be great, they even altered the Sparks reload animation based on your feedback in the previous video!
exposing jonathan to the porta-pooper 5000 is probably the meanest thing you've done to him yet
The Borderlands franchise has about the same relationship with guns as a 13 year old boy. I look forward to his review of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.
Yeah, but the problem is its a m rated franchise, until Tina knocked it down to a teen rating. Because I guess they finally realized that was more appropriate after having turned everything into a immature wacky kids movie
@@kylekomicbro1836 I dont think that is the point, all borderlands games were M rated and probably will be but its TINAS games, so we see the game through her eyes, in borderlands 2 in her dlc we have basically the same thing, other than gore I'm not sure if it's in wonderland havent played it yet
@@kylekomicbro1836 It went to a teen rating because of the nature of gore. When you're blowing up mushrooms and skeletons instead of people, the rating understandably goes down.
I was waiting so long for Borderlands 3 breaking Jonathan, thank you for showing these to him ^^
If there's a second video on BL3, Jonathan needs to be shown the Shredifier, then immediately after that, the Super Shredifier.
As for another game rec for him to react to - Enter The Gungeon.
This made my day. Can't wait for part 2!
Should we tell him that the reason the One Pump Chump is shooting more than once sometimes is because of certain skills Moze has?
Because I wish someone told him
Well no because the reason it is shooting more than once is because the gun it self has a 50% chance for the thing to just not consume ammo
it has 50% chance of not using ammo tho
Yap brother!
Would love to see Jonathon go back to MW2019’s guns for his take on the Kilo (HK433), MP7, RAAL (SigMG338), etc
Everytime this Legend of a Man is looking at super non-sense weapons out of sci-fi games i am always suprised how well he understands what he sees in front of him even if it is the worst non-sense he has ever seen. I am very impressed.
It's just as horrifying as I thought it would be. I absolutely love it! I really want more from the Borderlands series - could be another one from BL3 but any game from the series is fine.
You know that the series is known for its "bazillion guns"
I would say Wonderlands but that'll just send him to an institution
He mentions about the Arctic Vanquisher having lots of familiar-looking attachments, but that is by design - Dahl weapons are very much inspired by modern military, and are generally reliable all-rounders for their category, so the weapon's having plug-and-play attachments like scopes and stocks makes sense
A cheeky little Life of Brian reference there. Nice one, Centurion, Like it, like it! 🤣
I really hope you guys have Jonathan react to Killing Floor 2's guns because to date I think they manage to have some of the most realistic reload animations in gaming (at least for the weapons based on real fire arms)
It's made by the same people who did the Rising Storm franchise so you know there's going to be quite the fidelity with guns. If he loved RS:Vietnam then he's going to enjoy KF2
@@LeagueofDurga I just wish Rising Storm's reload sounds were better. Guns sound amazing when firing but the reloads make me feel like I'm knocking on plastic and the animations for reloading aren't exactly amazing either.
That last gun reminded me that it would be cool to see Jonathan react to Deep Rock Galactic, especially once the new guns get added.
3:54 - I noticed that Life of Brian reference, Mr. Ferguson - you can't fool me!
I was waiting for this episode! Hope you do more of this
Maybe another borderlands one, but with a more standard weapon that represents each manufacturer. As opposed to just making him die a little inside lol
I'm a classic guy so I only use jacobs, no element damage, just pure brute force. Fire rate is super high especially if you're single
Same it's also my name so there's that too
2:01 My reaction is just like "O~O", MEANWHILE, THIS CHAD OVER HERE!!
Face in the thumbnail is how I react whenever I see the weapon-like-objects from Monster Hunter.
we need a part 2
I feel like we can still break Jonathan more with some more Destiny weapons. I really want to see him explain THE WERM or maybe Thorn/Osteo XD
I don't think Thorn or Osteo Striga come close to...any of this. The main thing that might confuse Jonathan is the Hive aesthetic, and I suppose Osteo's homing rounds, but I think he'd be able to accept "this weapon fires poison rounds" fairly easily. Also, which gun do you mean by "THE WERM"? Parasite? Whisper of the Worm?
I was waiting desperately for this video and I am not disappointed
Thank you this reaction video. I was craving to hear Jonathan Ferguson's reaction to this game
I'm expect Dave to start of one these with "This _was_ Jonathan Ferguson" someday due to the lengths of suffering the poor chap goes through.
I’d love to see his take on some of the Purple/Blue weapons of Destiny 2- a lot of those are more conventional firearms with sci-fi twists (especially the revolvers and stuff like the Gambit weapons)
The revolvers are freaking huge though, but other than that most of them look somewhat normal, bar Thorn.
Also No Land Beyond would be cool to see 😃
Finally! Thank you, Dave! And Jonathan!
Yes! Finally, I was looking forward for this one. Thanks for putting in the Faisor, by far my favorite gun of the title. Cant wait for secong episode.
I want him to see Borderlands 2 weapons. Like the Ruby, Conference Call, etc.
Conference Call is also in 3 iirc
Borderlands 3 really improved a gunplay a lot in the series. While the story is bad and the villains are not good, the guns make up for it in my opinion.
Also, you gotta show Johnathan some non-legendary guns. I want him to see the Dahl ones, or maybe some of the jakobs or tediore ones.
yeah, do really want them to see the clean manufacturer purple guns. They all have a specific aesthetic good enough to appreciate from afar.
Borderlands 3 basically best gameplay and worst story in the series
I like the white tier, common weapons. They look clean too
Ngl, I was a bit disappointed that The Flood didn't make an appearance. Everyone's favorite fully automatic revolver :D
@@mohamednail1707 worst main story*
so much extreme borderlands guns this can be a 10 part series! Please do part 2
I have been waiting for this.
You gotta do a video on Doom. Any of the Doom games, really, but you've gotta start with the original.
First time we heard you Dave talking during Firearms Expert Reacts apart from the intro! (Excluding Loadout ofc)
I do like that actually, hearing you talk about the gun from the game's perspective and Jonathan for the ,,real world guns" perspective.
I wonder how exactly are you two comunicating, via what.
Like you could have used watch2gether so Jonathan does not need to say ,,pause there" ,,pause here", but I guess that became a legendary part of the series now. xD
But it would help him take over the video, go back and pause it whenever he wants.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this day since I discovered this show!
YES! Ive been wanting to see him react to the wacky world of Borderlands for ever! Thank you so much!
I want to see Johnathan's reactions to the guns from the Metal Gear Solid series, especially on how accurate the developers were with the weapons and their handling.
Still hoping for some Killing Floor 2 analyses as they put a lot of work into the guns, the animations and how they work with the skillsets.
Please keep this series with Jonathan going on forever.
Been hoping for this one
It would be cool to look at Due process guns. It's a smaller game but the guns are very cool
Please tell me you showed him some Atlas guns, they're some of my favourite designs in the game and I'd love to hear his take on them, especially the pistol and the rocket launcher.
Man I've been waiting for these episodes. Poor Johnathan
im excited for this, thanks for seeing our suggestion!
Now he needs react to Borderlands 1 and 2 weapons and it will be complete!
I'd love to see Johnathan's opinions on the service weapon in the game 'Control', given that it's this sort of 4-dimensional alien technology which can morph into different types of weapon
TBF, that gun is so alien that there isn't much to say. It is a bunch of shapeshifting blocks that fire projectiles because supernatural shenanigans. I mean, it doesn't even have a barrel, how does one explain the mechanism of such gun?
@@Noperare if it doesn't have a barrel, I don't think it can be described as being a 'gun'.
@@KickyFut The official name is "Service weapon" but some in-game characters refer to it as "Director´s gun". So it is technically not a gun, but people that aren't familiar to how guns works calls it a "gun" because it is vaguely shaped like a revolver.
Iirc, it's only a gun because that's what the contemporary weapons are, the archive doc on it states that it may have been Excalibur and a dozen other mythological and legendary weapons
I have been wanting to see this for a while now
haha! there was so much 'ok im dones now' in that goodbye.
He should look at the guns from BL1 and BL2 as well. At least some of those looked like real world weapons.
Yeah, if he enjoys Fallout crudely made weapons then he would surely like the early borderlands weapons. They are crudely made but also futuristic at times.
@@Avery9Hopson Bandit ones in BD2 are amazing, so well done
@@oxob3333 My favorite guns aesthetic-wise were Dahl and Vladof in BL2, I loved the futuristic AR design while Vladof was like "Lets add more barrels"
@@xXDeiviDXx I quite liked Maliwan stuff. I thought the side disk magazine was always a neat reload animation. Vladof is sick as well though
@@oxob3333 Bandit weapons are cool. I kinnda like the Bandit ARs that have an ammo box under the receiver and the ammo is belt-fed into it. Those ARs remind me of LMGs, especially the reload animation, where the whole top is flipped open.
Fingers crossed for part two!
I've waited for this my entire time watching this series
I've been waiting for this
Props for using Moze. She's my favorite of the four 🥰
Moze is a fun one. With the right setups. You get essentially infinite ammo at an extremely high fire rate.
3:49, I swear you can see the little bits of brain becoming unstuck in his mind... That rifle is made by the Tediore company, whos primary merit is a fast reload mechanic. Instead of actually reloading the gun you simply threw it away and instantly got another one. The tossed weapon will often explode, doing damage depending on how much ammo was left in the gun; you could fire a single round, hit reload and just detonate the rifle in your enemy's face. Particular fun were the Tediore rocket launchers which - once you'd fired the rockets - was simply used as extra rocket.
5:50 Thats an excellent point about the visual language of Borderlands' guns. We wanted it to be obvious from just the initial outline of the weapon what it would be about, before you even dug into its stat card.
Wonderful video! I'd that a golden Mp5k in the background? I'm very very intrigued by that!
I’ve been saying Killing floor 2 for months, and will keep doing so!
Seeing the guns in ZED mode is very detailed and cool!
I wish y'all would take a look at more of the non outlandish guns from a game like this, that's where I would love to see Jonathon's take on their reality. Of course a lot of the unique guns are dumb
My favorite BL3 gun is the shotgun that fires saw blades with dynamite taped to them. Had to go into theater mode to determine that was, in fact, what was happening.
YESSSS I just started streaming this again!!!! I'm pumped!!!
I’m probably in the minority here, but I think we’re taking the “expert reacts” genre too far. How does a real-world arsenalist evaluate a weapon that shoots floating orbs of lightning? It’s like a zoo keeper reacting to Fantastic Beasts. Dear God; there’s probably already a video for that.
I kind of agree, but I think a video like this here and there is fine. It would certainly be a waste of Jonathan's expertise if he only ever got to look at weapons like these, though.
It's just a fun side episode. Granted Johnathan is as talented a presenter as he is an armourer and writer so ppl want to see him comment on any gun no matter how silly.
@@spvrda I’m not criticizing him, per se; it’s the genre as a whole. It seems like cheap pops: let me fluff my views by being an “expert” talking about something largely irrelevant. It’s just our current film/watch anything culture.
ngl the biology of fictional monsters sounds really interesting...
It's also like 90% of Monster Hunter's lore.
Edit: you're right though, this genre is overdone
I mean, a lot of these guns, as weird and outlandish as they are, definitely have some inspiration from real guns, consciously or unconsciously. it's interesting to have a guns expert come along and find those points of inspiration, as well as the more humorous aspects of it all. more interesting than showing him an AR-15 from COD and he goes "yeap this is an AR-15 alright"
I would suggest Johnathan reading out the names of these weapons, Torgue in particular have namely hilarious titles for their weapons
not to mention some of the uniques and legendaries have refferences in the name and or flavor text. Tunguska being an example
That machine gun shotgun is basically just the Borderlands version of the Cerberus+1. With the default full auto fire mode with the alternate shotgun fire mode.
I'm surprised you didnt have him look at any COV guns since they arent reloaded, they're cooled down and a lot of them use an engine to power them
Literally the last weapon shown was a COV gun
Tediore was my go to gun with the turrets and companion guns. LOL I Loved his reaction to it.
One of the best outros ever!
There needs to be a part 2 of this. He needs to see the 'Lucian's call', Rowan's Call, and more E-tech weapons.
Great detail to mention the similarity of the Faisor with an SVD, so the link between Vladof and its inspiration for their weapons design is also noted for someone who isn't a BL player
I've waited so long for this
Finally, I’ve been waiting.
Finally what I've been waiting for
I love how Jackobs, Dahl and some Vladof weapons at least look like they may be realistic guns. Atlas, Maliwan and Torgue have varying amounts of futuristic looks, and the Cult of the Vault (often abbreviated to CoV) tends to be almost exclusively weapons that look like they’ve been cobbled together with scrap parts and somehow work when they really shouldn’t.
now this is what ive been waiting for
The Molten Faisor concept of rotating the whole front of the gun to change function could work if it was an energy weapon. You load in a magazine of pre-charged capacitors/batteries which discharge to fire a laser and then the front of the gun contains different lenses to either produce a single beam or a scatter beam.
Definently gonna need a part 2 and maybe even a part 3.
This has probably been mentioned before but I'd love to see Jonathan break down some metal gear solid weapons. Specifically Snake Eater some of the radio calls where Snake geeks out over his 45 or the conversation he has with Ocelot about his gun jamming
Thanks for the video
With the spinny barrels gun, the one that goes from a rifle to a shotgun. I'd wager the most reasonable explanation given the context of borderlands is that it's an energy weapon of some description and what you're swapping is the assembly that either focuses it into individual projectiles, or scatters it like a shotgun.
Jonathan's reaction to the Gun Gun was perfect.
11:32 sums up all the Borderlands guns. I love it!
Yessss yess yessssss... Sooooooo many days of waiting
The Vanquisher is made by Dahl, which are meant to be the more "modern" looking guns, hence all the recognisable accessories.
Yes. Part two please.
Fistful of frags has some very unique and cool weapons, would be a fun video.
