Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned includes a new playable character and region to explore, but is that enough to bring back lapsed players?

But players online who have hopped in already are reporting that the DLC’s main questline can be completed in about two to three hours

Seriously you greedy assholes?

    BL3’s writing killed the franchise. I’m surprised people bought into 4 at all…

      I really enjoyed the writing in 4. And the DLC for 3 was genuinely very good, it’s just the core story that sucked. Gameplay was lovely, aside from the overabundance of legendaries.

      4’s gameplay is decent, the story is much better than 3, but overall it doesn’t have the same replayability and it feels like they’ve hurt the variety of the weapons. Overall I liked the game, but the DLCs will need to be pretty good to have me buying into it before they inevitably bundle it all in together for cheap

    Borderlands has strayed really far from what made BL2 one of the best games of all time. Every one since has felt way less detailed and interesting, both in characters and in loot.

        That’s totally fair, the pre sequel wasn’t half bad. I still feel like it wasn’t on the same level as BL2, especially considering the Tiny Tina campaign.

            Oxygen as well, but it implemented them in the same engine with the same combat rules we’re all used to.

          PreSe was supposed to get two more story dlc but they pulled the plug on it. Had it gotten them it’d probably stand equal to 2.

    Bl2 was a game I play loved so much that I genuinely for the first time in my life understood how other people could make fandom a part of their personality. Despite having never paid full price for a game I pre-ordered Bl3. It didn’t have the spirit I hoped for but it wasn’t bad.

    I’ve not even read into the story for 4. Lore is my drug and I cannot be bothered to see where it has gone in a franchise I once tried to laser brand Into my arm. It’s like watching a family member succumb to addiction.
