God, Borderlands 2, along with this DLC looks so dang gorgeous, and hilarious. I'm really tempted now to get this game.

This might be the funniest, most enjoyable Borderlands DLC to date. For reals.

@CaptainFake: Yeah I've played through most of it. Didn't advance anything but did add a ton of missions. The downside of it is a lot of back and forth between area and quest-giver a lot of times.

@DrewHughes: Yeah, I really loved the game critique-one as well. They are few and far inbetween, but there are some really golden side quests in this game.

I actually thought this was going to be Moxxi all over again, and I didn'r really think it was going to be any fun - up until the game just broke the mold - wich came as a surprise to me, knowing very little of this pack when I started it. Was a really good moment, but all in all it's not as good as Captain Scarlett. It just feels more empty.

The Game Reviewer mission was fantastic, say what you will about the rest of the pack. Definitely not just an arena expansion

Did anybody play the Pirate DLC? Did it advance any of the story in any meaningful way?

The DLC for the original Borderlands started to get interesting with General Knoxx. I'm trying to wait and pick up the BL2 DLC once they do something on par with that one.

no, it was more of a side story, as is the Torgue dlc.

I like that there's a company that is treating a season pass to mean *gasp* a majority of the content will be produced over the course of a single season???

Maybe I'm just a bit of a downer on the concept of the pass lately, but it's AWESOME that BL2 is pumping out DLC in this way. Strike while it's hot. Admittedly, at this point, they could probably slow their roll just a little, but I feel like most of those who are complaining that they're getting pumped out too fast and that they can't keep up are being crazy. It's not like the content is going anywhere or that it expires. It simply means that when you get around to it and when you want it, it's there.

It's weird that we live in the Goldilocks Age. 'This game over here has too little content. This game over here has too much. And this game is juuuuuuust kidding I'm going to be pissed off all the time.'

And frankly I was amused by Tiny Tina. I can see how some could end up annoyed as hell by her, but she is one of the few parts of that game that made me actually laugh.

Okay, they sold me. I'm going to pick up the season pass. I thought this would be just another arena, but it appears to be so much more. I'm in.

I wish Saint's Row the Third's DLC was this good.

I'm definitely looking forward to getting into this. I like Mr. Torgue although I feel like even with the stuff in prerelease his whole "Shouting and Explosions" schtick is getting a little stale. But hopefully they'll pull it off.

Crap. That's more content stacking up that I need to play. XD

Seriously. My wife & I are around level 23, still gotta finish the main game. But, other games keep coming out that need attention.

@vikingdeath1: It is indeed the same voice actor. From what I understand there are a lot of DBZ veterans voicing characters in Borderlands 2. The only ones I can remember offhand are : Cell = Handsome Jack and Android 18 = Lilith.

I'm guessing there's no level cap update in this one? I'm currently at 50, and my problem with the last DLC was it was far too boring on Playthrough1 and annoyingly difficult on Playthrough2. May wait until the cap is raised before I get this.

Yeah this DLC is definitely not as good as Scarlett but it's alright enough. Worth 10 bucks if you have it to spare and desperately want some more borderlands 2. The humor is hit and miss, an overall drop in writing quality for sure, but I chuckled a few times.

And, just for the record, this is absolutely not an Arena DLC. The very first quest gives you the impression it will be, but you're only ever going to have 4 quests in that arena throughout the DLC. The vast, vast majority of it is more of the same questing you have in both the standard game and Scarlett. Go to new area, do new set of quests, progress to next new area. Etc, etc.

It's a disappointment after Scarlett, which I thought was pretty great, but is by no means actually bad. If you're into Borderlands 2, you'll have a good 5 or 6 hours of fun with this DLC.

I like Tiny Tina just fine but I've been a fan of HAWP even before Gametrailers picked it up.

Maybe it's not the character, but the actress in particular. It's like the developers were being a bit desperate to appeal to "the kids" by including an Internet-celebrity gamer. Also, people pronounce that show as "Hawp" and that is quite annoying, too.

I think I'll skip this DLC. The arenas are one of my least favourite parts of the game.

Finished it in one sitting. While the writing definitely has its moments, it's disappointing as hell overall. It feel like only a fractio of the size of the previous DLC. If you've got the season pass, might as well check it out, but if you don't I'd suggest skipping it.

Wish I knew what people didn't like about Tiny Tina as well. Some descriptions of issues would help. I thought she was well written enough for a short term character. Just kinda seemed like an eccentric little girl who had a traumatic childhood.

Tiny Tina plays a fairly small role and she's written much better in her small part. So far, it's been awesome DLC and really adds to the endgame for people who have farmed their Lvl 50's for a while.

I thought Tina was piss funny - I'm surprised some peeps didnt like the acting I thought there was plenty of good humour with lots of variety. The respawn points could have been the most annoying thing in the world, they must have done a ton of lines for it an lots of them were funny. Whatever butters your muffin I guess.

i dont get the hate with Tiny Tina? She's not that bad of a character. I personally think by far the worst with no one even close to second is Brick... I would have really preferred his character died instead of Roland. I hope he's not in this DLC.
