To make a long story short, they’re honestly a move in the wrong direction. Since many complained that Vermivorous was impossible to spawn and Terramorphous was a joke, many had hopes that these new bosses will be better. NOTĪmong the various things added in this DLC pack, none was more exciting than the new raid bosses. In addition to adding these new areas, roughly 20 area specific Badass challenges were added to reward those who want to see every inch of Pandora. These include a desert town called Oasis, another factory and even a lighthouse, though I found the colorful caves of Hayter’s Folly to be the best. HOTįor those looking to explore new areas in Pandora, you’ll be delighted to know that Captain Scarlett adds over 6 new places to go. Lets see what’s HOT and what’s NOT in our review of Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty.

The only question is, does it has enough content to justify the $10 dollar price tag or are you better off waiting for the next pack? This pack, titled Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty, adds a new a new story, in addition to a number of other perks. You won’t find any weapons or other gear in the main quest that’ll blow you away, but new level 50 raid bosses, including one you can kill for a new currency called Seraph Crystals, give the most dedicated of us something to chase long after the many hours of Pirate’s Booty quests run out.While many people are still checking out the Mechromancer, the first DLC pack for Borderlands 2 has been released. Likewise there’s plenty of loot to collect and quests to fulfill, though the latter doesn’t live up to the quality established by core Borderlands 2 experience. I think it’s good to establish a sense of place, something the DLC does as well as the original campaign with its visual design, but it’d be nice to see more creativity taken with the pirate theme than just putting a captain’s hat or cutlass on the host of familiar foes. The occasional unique enemy like the Anchorman helps mix things up, as his ability to yank you to him from far away kills camping strategies. Combat encounters remain interesting and fun despite mostly putting you up against re-skinned enemies in pirate get ups, if only because your characters abilities and weapons feel like playing with toys. If all you want is a reason to get more loot, levels (assuming you haven’t maxed out), and to shoot your way through more of Pandora, Captain’s Booty mostly succeeds.

That being said, the last part of Pirate’s Booty is almost enough to redeem it, as the final zones’ story and loot payoff makes the experience feel rewarding. Archetypal stories don’t need to be boring (see Star Wars, Lord of the Rings), but Captain’s Booty doesn’t have interesting enough characters or plot twists to make it engrossing.

As such it suffers, resulting in a story that’s almost entirely predictable (and at times downright boring). Captain’s Booty doesn’t have a lead protagonist or antagonist binding it together in the way, Handsome Jack, Angel or Lilith do in the mainline story. Likewise the narrative just doesn’t develop into anything especially good. A few quests for Shade and you basically never see him again, leaving you with a slew of other characters which, despite having occasionally witty or charming dialogue, largely never come all that close to being as engrossing or great as I’ve come to expect from Borderlands. The story starts off great, with hilarious and well-written characters like Shade, but quickly stumbles into mediocrity. You’ll also meet Captain Scarlett, a sand pirate who you’ll help in an epic quest to uncover a host of loot. Doing so triggers an awesome cinematic intro where you learn about a long-lost treasure. Play As soon as you hit level 15 you can instantly fast travel to Oasis, the starting point for the Pirate’s Booty content.
