Borderlands 2 - Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack Review - JPS

"Thanks to a perhaps poorly worded trophy/achievement, many people have been eagerly awaiting a level cap increase in Borderlands 2. Now that three of the four Season Pass DLC packs are out, Gearbox has finally released the level cap increase, plus an additional mode to go along with it. After months of warnings and claims that the DLC would break the game, is the level cap increase something you should get or does it break this already poorly balanced game?" - JPS

While it's great GB finally released the levels, they really should be free. It sucks that me and my friend are now 61, where as my good friend is only 50. Now he either needs to pay the fee and level or we need to play through the game... in either case, they could have done this better.

Well they could have released the level cap increase for free, but that would be insane considering the time and effort spent in making the level cap increase.

No one releases a level cap increase for free, oh wait Bethesda just completely unlocked the level cap from Skyrim and added a new harder difficulty for free. Gee could it be that Gearbox is just selling pointless DLC?

In all seriousness, the lvl cap increase should have been free so everyone could have gotten it. They knew situations like yours would happen and that would force people to buy the new content. It's a pretty low thing to do, but Gearbox normally does crap like this. Only now people are waking up to the reality that Gearbox is ripping them off. That whole Aliens controversy really helped to open people eyes to the truth.

While you're probably right, I think claiming they're trying to do "right by their fans" makes this look so much worse. The sad thing is that this expansion would have prompted many people to reconsider the DLC packs, since that would give them time to achieve the max level.

jimmywolf4410d ago

while i don't like dlc that nickel an dime people, the game been out for a while an on sale many times. the season pass was recently $10 on pc, if you don't feel the game worth putting extra $20 or $10 if you find it on sale, for the extra content then stop playing call it a day an find a new game

HacSawJimThugin4409d ago

I have been playing a little bit here and there but I haven't found any pearlescent weapons yet...does anybody know a god place to farm for some.

admiralvic4409d ago

Doctors Orders.

They're pretty rare and 100% not worth the hassle.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne264d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000264d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan263d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius263d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot264d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake264d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot264d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B263d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake264d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B263d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack263d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal263d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack263d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim841d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno841d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
