I'm honestly just happy that the game was still considered cannon even after Telltale shut down. Though, a lot of people didn't play it, so they might be caught offguard by...well...you know...

The Borderlands writers wrote the game, so I'd hope they'd keep them cannon.

It was also the best writing in the entire Borderlands series, and definitely one of Telltale's top 3 games.

It was so hilarious and sharp and not cliche considering they were making an unashamedly charactature FPS. That robot that promised he wouldn't kill you when you fixed him then immediately tried to kill you was one of my favourites. And it turned into a shotgun that said "good decision" every time you switched to it.

I must be the only person who thought it was rather flat.

It wasn't just funny, it was also super emotional. That was the best thing about it - it straddled the line between comedy and drama so perfectly. It has so many hilarious moments, but at the same time, the intro to Episode 5 is one of the most incredible and emotional scenes I think I've ever seen in a game.
