For the guys who don't have Borderlands, here's the opening scene (which is pretty awesome imo). I'll start posting up the parts I have of Borderlands with Chilled and Ze tomorrow.
Cellisperfect Except Roland. Honestly I didn't pick him my first few play throughs because instead of showing off his badassness all he did was try to not get his picture/video taken.
+Kiljaz Ink This intro here was just them setting the tone for the rest of the game. In the second game, the tone is already set, better to show off the new classes and what they can do different.
i honestly thing both games are good in there own ways, 2 was more about reaching rediculous levels and finding the best item combos, while 1 was more about explortation and having a damn good time with your pals
I personally liked The Pre-Sequel. The game was mainly to give players an insight to Jack's backstory and I found it interesting to see Jack before he went insane. And to be honest, after the s**t he went through, can ya blame him for going bat-s**t crazy? Not to mention TFTBL was pretty good too. Not as good as the original games but still good story-wise.
both borderland 1 and 2 take the spot for my 2 favorite games ever,the only reason i would consider 1 better was that there wasn't many game like it,and i have some great memories of me and my uncle going through it only to have my parent get mad at me for playing it saying it was "inappropriate for kids"lol.
i agree, but they wouldn't have been able to call it 'the handsome collection' had they included 1 lol. hoping they'll come out with a full collection like Bioshock is doing
Would Roland want us to sit around grieving for him? Or would he want us to save Pandora, find the vault, kill Handsome Jack? (This is basically what I say to everyone who posts R.I.P Roland, even though I know most people who do finish the game anyways. Also being a Vault Hunter doesn't end with a retirement where you lay out on a beach and drink Beer.)
sucks ass? SUCKS ASS? *SUCKS ASS* ? h H *H* *HOW* jk but still i love borderlands 1 borderlands 2 borderlands tps idunno why im fanboying so hard buuuut im bored
The first time I heard about the series was from my cousin we played BL2 so I didn't know much about the story then i played the 1st one and the story made sense I picked Mordecai as my character who did u guys play as?
I love this game. The concept is the best they thought about everything they could do to make this game fun to play friends. Not many games are made with the idea of "let's make it fun." Anymore.
Supposedly some of the higher-ups at Gearbox were pretty worried about the concept too. They didn't believe that merging FPS action with RPG mechanics would work.
Same! And it was a good pick. I mean: FUCK! Was Bloodwing OVER OVER powered. (Especially in the beginning before they patched the game. There was this glitch where you could release 3 or 4 bloodwings one after another :') )
Goddamn they really fucked up the movie trailer so bad that this intro thats mostly exposition dumping is better than the entirety of the movie trailer 💀
It's funny that they're basically gave up Angel's biggest secret of being a Siren in the comic part of the opening but nobody noticed because noone would see it coming! I mean just look closely at this frame! Digistructed pixels are all around her just like in her reveal sequence when she removes fake walls to uncover her chambers! Goddangit they have planned it all along
Man. This brought back memories, I also like how in the second game, you hear Jack telling angel to tell the vault hunter what you hear in the first game, I feel like I'm the only person who realizes this some times, also, god I love Marcus's personality
Such a great intro. 12 years later and I still watch. Even when I didn't want to play the game, I would sometime put the game in just to watch it. "No Rest for the Wicked" and "No Heaven" (The end song) are still in rotation on my playlists to this day.
This brings back Middle School Memoirs I mean Borderlands was the problay the reason I failed some classes but it was worth it(it wasn't focus on school first kids)
0:30 Look at the image that we see while talking about the Vault. The shape the smoke forms and everything. At the very start, they were hinting at what was actually inside the Vault...
I think back on all these intros, and Marcus is probably telling all these stories after the events of bl3 and anything that could come after it. This just got me thinking because bl3 is coming out soon
just finished replaying borderlands 1 on my switch for the first time since i played on ps3, this felt like a good place to end the story on. still got 2 and the pre sequel to play thru tho
I thought about getting this game a while back and still haven't come up with any money for it! Hope I can snag it for Christmas and play through it before going back to college.

"Our story just started with us getting off a bus"
-Mordicai
This sounds all explosive and stuff xD
That pfp I've seen it before
Pre-sequel
Donacdum
Why are you following me :C
Man, those character intros were cool!
*remembers they are on a bus, and are showing off for nobody in particular*
Yeah the BL2 intro made more sense XD
And Marcus comes out and says "Thanks guys. These photos will make some great postcards."

Roland fellas
coming here after the movie trailer... This is a million times better.
"Don't worry about saying goodbye, I'm sure we'll be doing this all again soon enough."
Such a good line.
Aidan Tiernan "get off my bus"
So true
Get off my bus
Only a few weeks left
We are back on the bus.
Our story began with us getting off a bus. This is all explosive.
Stop complimenting the prisoner
brick is so badss he stars as himself
+უწმინდური მამაო ღორმენ And then in the missions you have to "escort" him, just sit back and watch him wreck house
in bl2 ye :D
And zero is a number
AmongReaper And don’t forget CL4P-TP as the mistake!
@@misterv0926 REVOLTION FOR THE ROBOTS! *REBOLTION!*
Brick is the literal definition of absolute unit
And he's black
The absolutest of all Units. None come close to his unitness
The only reason Gearbox is allowed to keep making games.
That, and those Half-Life expansions were pretty good.
And Halo CE
Tazer Gear box is actually a pretty shitty company that just happens to make an amazing franchise
Fucking Smosh games
Brothers in Arms were the great series too.
Thank you, Cage the Elephant for paving the way for Borderlands with the song so catchy, Handsome Jack would wish he made that himself.
i honestly thing both games are good in there own ways, 2 was more about reaching rediculous levels and finding the best item combos, while 1 was more about explortation and having a damn good time with your pals
And then there was the other one... Which we don't talk about.
Fire heart what another one who that one I spent money to get that erased from my mind

Jenny And Ben Before went crazy? Oh so enslaving is daughter and black mailing before Borderlands isn't crazy.
little brick with his dog is the cutest thing ever
+Emma Weasley Thats what I thought.
Kind of late, but smol Mordecai with baby Bloodwing is also quite adorable.
Poor Skaggs...one always shows up at the start of Borderlands intros, and it never ends well for them.
what about tps
What about the pre_sequel
What about Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel?
(Had to keep the cascade going. I realize the post was made before the pre-sequel came out.)
Do you think a skag will get crushed in the bl3 intro?
Well luckily for you that recently changed
At least Lilith says "No rest for the wicked" as the final line in the game.
hey man it's been more than 10 years and I just wanna know if you're still alive rn and how you're doing in life.
@@zadlyzzzhow are you bro
@@psychicmirrors life doing good rn, been going to the gym a lot commonly but still playing these borderland games, it somehow never gets old.
I wish they would have included the first game in the Handsome Collection. Really looking forward to any new games in the series as well.
i agree, but they wouldn't have been able to call it 'the handsome collection' had they included 1 lol. hoping they'll come out with a full collection like Bioshock is doing
+Jarrod Ingram they could call the complete collection Pandoras box
+The Courier that's actually pretty good, i like that. nice idea haha
Keep looking
You’re in luck!
R.I.P Roland ;-;
Would Roland want us to sit around grieving for him? Or would he want us to save Pandora, find the vault, kill Handsome Jack? (This is basically what I say to everyone who posts R.I.P Roland, even though I know most people who do finish the game anyways. Also being a Vault Hunter doesn't end with a retirement where you lay out on a beach and drink Beer.)
Dude was a wimp, didn't even drop loot.
Bruce Wayne I never played one but I played and finished 2,for Rolands memory he will be my first playthrough character
Oh...Roland dies? *Just got the game...first character I play as is Roland* hello darkness my old friend
Spoilers
One of my favourite openings to a video game
best start to a game ever... nothing has topped it for me. this got me so pumped up to start playing
Jarrod Ingram borderlands 2
>Tfw they were showing off on a bus for no reason
Yeah, then you start playing it and it sucked ass.
How do i know? Well i've played the fucking thing!
sucks ass? SUCKS ASS? *SUCKS ASS* ? h H *H* *HOW*
jk but still i love borderlands 1 borderlands 2 borderlands tps idunno why im fanboying so hard buuuut im bored
Then theirs presequal with BADASS EXPLOSIONS
1:55 goosebumps every time!!
The first time I saw that. I burst out laughing.
@@slothures
So did I, now I just get hyped lol
@@somethingsomething9006 Saaammmeeeee

2023 here. Still one of the best games ever.
when I first played I picked Mordecai based soloy on the opening video
soloy? XD
shush you
;3
Same! And it was a good pick. I mean: FUCK! Was Bloodwing OVER OVER powered. (Especially in the beginning before they patched the game. There was this glitch where you could release 3 or 4 bloodwings one after another :') )
@@Bram25 Brick was even more OP. I literally just Berserked to kill the Destroyer.
rip bloodwing
R.I.P Bricks many dogs.
Actually he had 2
SPOILERS...
and explosions...
As a Mordecai main, that part hurt my soul
Goddamn they really fucked up the movie trailer so bad that this intro thats mostly exposition dumping is better than the entirety of the movie trailer 💀
"A beautiful day, full of opportunity!" - Marcus Kincade 2009
And thus 99% learned who Cage the Elephant are.
No Rest For The Wicked, for me, will always be synonymous with one of the greatest games i've ever played.
It's funny that they're basically gave up Angel's biggest secret of being a Siren in the comic part of the opening but nobody noticed because noone would see it coming!
I mean just look closely at this frame!
Digistructed pixels are all around her just like in her reveal sequence when she removes fake walls to uncover her chambers!
Goddangit they have planned it all along
Or just make it along the way
I started with 2. I knew she was a siren when she used phaseshift. I was playing Maya at the time. Subtle but not impossible to spot.
From the intro I immediately knew I wanted to play lilith and I wasn't disappointed. She might still be my favorite in the whole borderlands series.
soooo just killed the vault like three times and WHERE THE LADIES AT!!!! I JUST GET A CONTAINER OF TENTACLES.... YOU KNOW WHAT I PUNCH THE GAME
One of the greatest openings to a video game ever besides Borderlands 2. What is with these games having some of the best opening moments ever?
Nobody can narrate an opening like Marcus... except maybe Galadriel
Honestly, such a great intro and track… to a fantastic game! Makes me remember the good old days… ❤️
My shit back in Middle school
My shit in elementary school
@@thiwri5386 what
Look bro I was addicted at a young age
@@thiwri5386 I wasn't allowed to have a phone or anything in elementry until 4th because thats when my abusive mother left
Sorry to hear about that my guy hope life's going good now
Man. This brought back memories, I also like how in the second game, you hear Jack telling angel to tell the vault hunter what you hear in the first game, I feel like I'm the only person who realizes this some times, also, god I love Marcus's personality
I'm going to start playing Borderlands just because of this music haha
Jitnaught Its Cage the Elephant, go look them up.
bob pastel I know who they are ;)
did you ever play
I needed this as a palate-cleanser after that movie trailer.
Back when there was no saturn in arid nexus...
10 years later, and that comic book-like graphics still holds up
A Dragons Channel I mean mostly looks a bit shitter now
@@ontos8534 It is suppose to look like they live in the shits
Who is here after the borderlands 3 trailer
KingOfKongs hi
Walking guns. Need I say more?
Yeah im here after watching the borderlands 3 trailer. I need that hype lol
I need early version plz someone help me how to rob and hack
Of borderlands 3 ps4
Wow, this brings me back, I played this game to death when it came out.
IMHO on of the best opens to a game ever! Just watching again make me remember how much fun that game was! A great series!
How much better this is than the trailer of the movie!
Such a great intro. 12 years later and I still watch. Even when I didn't want to play the game, I would sometime put the game in just to watch it.
"No Rest for the Wicked" and "No Heaven" (The end song) are still in rotation on my playlists to this day.
That song get me everytime . remember them days on the xbox 360 when this was new. aint no rest for the wicked. some really amazing games then .
One of my favourite openings!!
The beginning of the most badass first person shooter ever.
This brings back Middle School Memoirs I mean Borderlands was the problay the reason I failed some classes but it was worth it(it wasn't focus on school first kids)
Now here we are with a Borborderlands Remastered, Borderlands 2, and soon to be Borderlands 3. The Borderlands community has sure come a long way.
Crazy.. 12 years old and still one of my favorite games ever and a great intro too
The music gets me every time I swear...
Sometimes you gotta go back to feel again
People who picked mordecai here
|
V
And thus the legend was born
This in my opinion is one of the best examples of tone setting in any game.
Man. Memories. Good memories.
2019 so nostalgic ❤️
this was one hell of a game
Watching all of the borderland games intros and opening songs 👌
I love Borderlands :D
Angel, THAT BITCH!
She was forced to do what she did.
love this song!
You know it and I've been playing the hell out of it.
now look at Borderland movie trailer... feel old yet ?
From having little story to story of the century!
I still say this was the best opening to the borderlands
Did you know Jack was the one that had Angel tell the character those exact words verbatim?
One of the best game openings ever
0:30 Look at the image that we see while talking about the Vault. The shape the smoke forms and everything. At the very start, they were hinting at what was actually inside the Vault...
2019 after beating borderlands 3?
10/10 opening cutscene
Using a song from my favorite band in your game is a good way to make ma want to play it
I think back on all these intros, and Marcus is probably telling all these stories after the events of bl3 and anything that could come after it. This just got me thinking because bl3 is coming out soon
Mordi my fav for ever.... the great old days....
Your trolling is spot on. Kudos.
best game ever
Ah memories
When I played Borderlands I thought the story was kinda stupid but the guns and gameplay are the most fun things about this game
man i love this game
just finished replaying borderlands 1 on my switch for the first time since i played on ps3, this felt like a good place to end the story on. still got 2 and the pre sequel to play thru tho
Hopefully we hear more epic music like this in the sequel
ı hope they put more cutscenes in the sequel. this looks amazing
Whoo Cage the Elephant!!! Love em, (they're the band who played the song btw)
My first and favorite game in the borderlands series
Absolute classic
I needed to see thus again. I never saw the part about the vault so all this stuff about finding it confused me
As a former PS3 player, I've always wanted to play Borderlands ever since i first heard of it.
1:30 what you’re here for
Best intro ever.
Honestly I didn’t know that this was the song for the game I literally just assumed plus is the best song for a apocalyptic type story
*Ain't No Rest For The Wicked*
ICONIC
no matter how many times i see an skag get run over in the intro, its still really satisfying for some reason.
I would like Borderlands a lot more if it wasn't so co-op focused
Just randomly gets this in my recommended
I thought about getting this game a while back and still haven't come up with any money for it!
Hope I can snag it for Christmas and play through it before going back to college.
OH THE NOSTALGIA
Nostalgic as the first turd, ah the memories,
Claptrap: *I am a CL4P-TP steward bot, but you may call me by my locally designated name Claptrap!*
I still LOL when that Skag just gets road killed LOL
Been waiting for borderlands 3 for like 3 years
Man still hard to believe that strange lady talking to me on the bus ended up being one of my victims
Rest In Peace Rolland....
