The second biggest complaint is that developers will deliberatley withhold content to release later as DLC. Too often, the DLC just isn’t worth the cost of admission. The worst part is that they usually slap a $10-$15 price tag on it when it’s closer to $1-$2 worth of content. The first is that it is often used to sell us junk, either unlockable costumes, unlockable challenge maps or maybe a new game mode if you are lucky. There are two huge complaints from gamers when it comes to DLC. I’ll speak of the content a bit later on, but first I’d like to talk a bit about just how perfect of a DLC pack Captain Scarlett is. The first DLC pack for Borderlands 2 ( Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s booty) was released a few weeks ago. Review copy of game provided by publisher.Borderlands 2 was a game that was released this year that I enjoyed it wasn’t a perfect game, and was largely derivitave of the original, but it was fun enough for me to sink several dozen hours into and complete the main story along with a majority of the side quests. If you have been looking for some more Borderlands 2, or if you’re still playing the game, and are looking for something a little different without changing the formula, then you should really pick up this piece of DLC. The new loot and different enemy types add even more to the content, and when it’s all said and done, you can still take on a big raidboss for even more loot- all this for 10 bucks. It constantly keeps you moving from one area to the next, and nothing ever gets monotonous. I would have to say I’m very impressed with the first piece of DLC Borderlands 2 has to offer. My level 28 Commando took all of about 2 shots from him before going down. Of course, it is something to work your way to. This is really needed to be done at higher levels and with multiple co-op partners involved. You can take on a special raidboss named Master Gee the Invincible. I was born here you know? You’re gonna die here you know?Įven with a good 7-9 hours of content, there is even more that you can do after completing the main story of the DLC. All of these baddies are, of course, pirate themed, but instead of just tacking on a pirate hat and having them yell “ARRR!” a lot, they actually fight and feel different. Many of the weapons you find will have a side effect that can impact your character, so there is a trade off to these special weapons.īeside the different scenery, which is a very nice change of pace from the main game, there are new enemy types that you will take on. Finding that X that marks the spot can become rather difficult, but once you find the treasure, you will obtain some really great weapons that are as powerful as they are cursed. There are a ton of side quests to complete, including a special group called “messages in a bottle.” These side quests will take you on small treasure hunts for rare weapons that Captain Blade once owned and buried. Thompson look-a-like that is possibly the most insane person on Pandora. Scarlett is not the only character you will run into while in Oasis, there’s the Scarlett-obsessed Herbert, who constantly wants to be with Captain Scarlett by any means necessary, and Shade, the Hunter S. Just make sure Scarlett doesn’t stab you in the back in the process. Now, with a little help from a one armed, one legged pirate named Captain Scarlett, you will try to find the pieces of Blade’s compass and locate the treasure. One particular pirate, Captain Blade, found magnificent treasure that surpassed all treasure known to Pandora. A long time ago, when the water was still around, pirates ruled the sea. Now, the water has all dried up, and most of the residents have pretty much all dehydrated with the water. You travel to Oasis, a once tropical area in the middle of the desert. With Captain Scarlett’s Pirate Booty, they really hit that sweet spot for good post release content. One thing they did learn, and have shown with the release of Borderlands 2, is that they listen to the fans. Some of it was great some of it was not so great.
