Since the first Borderlands 2 trailer, I’ve been utterly hooked. However, with the disappointment of the second DLC still hanging over my shoulders, I was apprehensive coming into Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt.
Fortunately, the team over at Gearbox have taken a completely different approach, and at the same time, made something that fits the Borderlands franchise perfectly.
This review will not be focusing on Borderlands 2, instead it will be highlighting my experience with the content included in the game's Season Pass only.
It adds great value to an already amazing game, just like the DLCs from Borderlands 1. If you ever run out of Borderlands 2, then this is a great cure. That's all. Anyway, I find the regular price for this a bit overpriced, which is why you should already like Borderlands 2 enough to purchasing this.
Blending a Diablo-style loot system with the first person shooter seemed so obvious after Borderlands that it’s hard to believe it wasn't done until 2009.
Now here we are in 2013 and Borderlands is still your one stop shop to shoot n’ loot.
GameVortex - Hey, Vault Hunters! Feeling that itch? You know what itch I'm talking about: that itch. The one that can only be satisfied by shooting Pandoran people and creatures and stealing all of their stuff while laughing at the misfortunes of everyone around you! Yes, Borderlands 2's DLC cycle is well underway with this third expansion: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. So far, Gearbox's sophomore smash has yet to host a disappointment on the level of Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, and thankfully, they don't seem too eager to give us a repeat of that. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, like everything else that preceded it, is more Borderlands. More quests, more enemies, more loot, and more laughs. That should be all the incentive you need to pick this up. But really, you should have a Season Pass by now.
Good review and I agree with the points he makes. It does feel kind of empty at times.
Worst expansion for B2 yet. Terrible loot drops.
End of Line.
6/10 at best, like the first one. Besides feeling like nothing is going on at all times, and having a story arc that can be finished within an hour, there are invisible walls all over the floors of every map. Didn't even polish this turd.
