Re: Rec: Tales from the Borderlands
Date: 2021-01-07 05:42 am (UTC)Took a bit of tracking down, but I was able to order a used copy for my PS4 today, so I’ll circle back when I have a chance to play. I’m terrible at actually playing video games, but I’m very intrigued by this story, so I’m committed now. Thanks again for taking the time to pitch me this so thoroughly. I highly enjoyed reading this.
Re: Rec: Tales from the Borderlands
Date: 2021-01-14 04:54 am (UTC)You got a copy! This is exciting! I'm so glad you enjoyed this pitch - I hope you'll enjoy the story if/when you get a chance to play through it! (Side note: I'm awful at playing video games because I have no sense of timing/coordination/accuracy, but there were thankfully only a couple instances where that type of skill was required. xD Selecting a dialogue option is much more my speed.)
