From GamesReviews:
"While I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing Borderlands 2 like a fiend the last ten months, I never found myself to be fully satisfied with the game. Sure, it feels great to get all the uber-rare weapons and mods and take on all the raid bosses and whatnot – I’m talking about emotionally: if there’s one way Borderlands 2 disappointed me, it was how it mostly wasted its opportunity at creating a resonant narrative: even the death of a beloved character didn’t provide anything but the most particular story beats."
Aaron at IGCritic says "Many have come to think of the term DLC as standing for Downright Lazy Cash-grabbing as opposed to what it is usually intended as; additional content."
EB: Some video game protagonists go it alone throughout their adventures, sometimes they have a sidekick, or an extra gun to tag along with them, but sometimes their adventure is too big to just travel by foot, and that’s where your trusty steed comes in. Tried and true, your equine partner will stick with you through thick and thin, and occasionally, in some games, will stick around and do a little damage themselves (from what I’ve heard, getting kicked in the head by a horse doesn’t feel too good.) Of course, in the realm of gaming, not all horses are the hairy, muscular animals that we see in everyday life. Some of them are lit with an eternal flame, some of them are unquestionably from the black depths of the underworld, and some of them are just straight up dead.
Sequels are great, but sometimes expansions can be just as endearing.
Hello
This DLC was disappointing. Any heartfelt moments with Tina accepting Roland's death were quickly swept under the rug, and the campaign was a snore with cheap jokes to get you to those moments. No guns that are better than previous ones, the raid boss was a joke compared to the rest, no enemies that seemed cool besides dragons, even then they had horrid AI. I was expecting more, it didn't even have side missions to keep me entertained, just a lot of fetch quests which is developer for "we can't do anything original in out quest design". It's a 5 at best for the level design, art style and colors used, and the neat addition with the fairies giving bonuses when you caught them. Add in the numerous bugs, poorly designed arena, overall shortness of a DLC that's had plenty of time to be worked on. It's a 5/10 for me, I was expecting better, but Gearbox has been messing everything up lately, I should have seen this coming.
