Missions are not funny, The whole concept of "pirates" is wasted, your vehicle is barely controllable and in general, it adds very little to the whole vault hunting experience, in this case, replaced with the thematic of having to find a bad-ass treasure. Recycled enemies that have next to no variation, some are even cheaper than they needed to be. I doesn't matter if you play 4 player co-op, the travel to one place to another is the most tedious and lackluster experience of all time. This expansion, in comparison, is literally BORING. There are things that make Borderlands 2 one of the best RPG/FPS titles of today, and that's clever writing and pure trolling. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Check back every month for more reviews! … Expand Shortly after I complete every DLC, I will post a review for it. NOTE: I have the Season Pass to Borderlands 2.

The first DLC to Borderlands 2 isn't a must buy, but it does have more Pandora, which is a very good thing. It goes, at normal speed about as fast as you can walk.

The Sandskiff is a cool vehicle, just not a good one.

I like how Scarlett keeps reminding me that she will stab me in the back, it makes me never feel safe. It's creepy, weird, and funny, all at the same time. Shade lives in a dead town in which he took some corpses, attached a tape to each of them, and talks to them. Now that I have all of the bad stuff detailed, I can say that this DLC is hilarious and well written, too. The main hubs, Wurmwater and Oasis are so identical that I forget which I am in after a while. The side quests are a reprint of the missions from the actual game, just now they have a pirate feel to them. I should also say that the amount of loot you get is rather disappointing, after all that you've done to get it. You hear about a treasure, join forces, get stabbed in the back, fight massive monster, get loot. The story is a story that's been recycled almost as much as zombies have been. You Borderlands 2 is an amazing game, this DLC not so much.

… Expandīorderlands 2 is an amazing game, this DLC not so much. I would wholeheartedly suggest not only getting this DLC but the season pack, as I can tell this attention to detail by Gearbox will keep coming with later DLC's. Fortunately, this DLC doesn't suffer too hard from the spontaneous dialogue leakage that either interrupts or overlaps other ECHO logs you were currently listening to. Although, the story aspect for me is kind of a return from the BL1 DLC content, but the dialogue is still funny and a riot to listen to. The new guns also stack up to the whole pirate mythology, with 'Cursed" guns (although I didn't tend to notice these negatives as much), and overall this DLC altogether has a lot more effort put into the content that they give. Also, I enjoy the new familiar and added enemies in this DLC, as well as the fact that they have been completely re-skinned and voiced over to represent the whole idea of "Pirate's Booty". Now there are multiple Fast Travel Networks in this DLC (so far), so you won't have to backtrack, A New Vehicle (which in a way is pretty decent once you get used to it) and most importantly, this DLC balances both Vehicle and On-Foot Combat spetacularly. Thankfully, this first BL2 DLC suffers from neither of those issues. Also, a smaller complaint I had with these particular BL1 DLC's is that each DLC either focused on All Vehicle travel or all Foot Travel, which is a pain considering that a lot of the DLC's from BL1 were also a development test to bring out BL2 with that kind of innovation. Particularly, my biggest complaint with the BL1 dlc's is that they only had 1 FAST TRAVEL SYSTEM in the DLC, so you were forced to keep backtracking from where you started off, especially with the Armory of General Knoxx. Compared to the DLC's from Borderands 1, this particular DLC is a fine improvement from not only the improvements over the gripes from Compared to the DLC's from Borderands 1, this particular DLC is a fine improvement from not only the improvements over the gripes from Borderlands 1 but also the gripes of it's DLC's.
