I really enjoyed this DLC, but I don't know if I loved it.
On one hand, the DLC's pros are its humor, the weird as fuck scenarios the game puts you through, it's more focused approach on exploration rather than telling a story with a liner open-world like the prior DLCs, and it's cast of extremely well-written characters, but it does have some problems.
The Missions can be very repetitive at times, more specifically the X-8 Data Retrieval Test missions. Now technically you don't need to finish all of them to beat the DLC, but you can blast through the DLC in under an hour, and the game encourages you to explore the entirety of Big MT so with that in mind the mission feels more like padding rather than a fun mission.
The other problem would-be the new enemies.
Now I just like everyone else in the world thinks that Robot Scorpions are cool, but they can feel really bullet spongey, so rather than giving me funny new enemies to fight you've given me a headache to deal with, and when the final boss is one of these things I just said fuck it pumped a bunch of psychos and blew it up Another problem I had was with enemies just spawning out of nowhere or sometimes right in front of me, I get that this came out in 2011 and open worlds we're hard to work with but when a group of 6 lobotomites spawn right in front of me and take like half my health before I can react, it feels a little cheap.
I stilled really enjoyed this DLC, and If I had to pick which one I liked more between this and Dead Money I'd probably go with this just on the humor alone, also Doctor 0 is voiced by James Urbaniak who also voices Dr. Venture in The Venture Bros., once you know that it's impossible to unsee it.
