Yeah DLC 2 Isn't great, It's just a massive grind to get through and for basically no reward. I rarely enjoy arenas in games, but if the reward at the end is worthwhile or it adds some new bosses i don't mind it. Mad Moxxi's Underdone Riot doesn't really offer anything new to the game, nothing worthwhile at least. You don't even get xp from taking out the 200+ enemies per arena, which really bugged me. I don't think its the worst thing ever, but it doesn't really warrant its existence either
i don't normally write reviews for dlc but this shit was so bad i just had to let everyone know.
borderlands 1 is already a game im sort of mixed on. its not bad but it doesnt really do anything amazing. however i was hooked on it for a bit because of how addicting the core gameplay loop of looting and shooting is.
this dlc really only does one of those things, which sucks because the shooting in borderlands on its own makes for a really boring experience. and that's exactly what the underdome is. an offensively boring experience. supposedly it's issues stem from it being designed for co-op play, but the base game is also designed with co-op in mind and still manages to be fun in solo.
enemies in this dlc are way too tanky, they deal way too much damage, half of the modifiers are actually fucking nothing, while the other half are ridiculously annoying to deal with and make the game more frustrating. you're forced to sit behind walls waiting for your shield to regenerate and occasionally run out to pick off a few guys and go find another wall to sit behind. rinse and repeat for about an hour and that'll be one arena completed. theres 3 of them.
i do not believe for a second this shit was playtested.
