This is approximately the fifteenth piece of DLC for this game (the game is a mix of full-price game,plus micro-transactions and even more additional DLC that all add up to on of the most expensive games in history). Worse, people who already paid for the full game, plus another thirty dollars for future DLC have been told that that only covered "some" of the DLC, and faithful customers must pay more. The magic of borderlands 2 was its long, amazing and immersive campaign with fun villains and a fun plot. Only 1 Borderlands DLC (Tina Tina's Assault...) was worth the price, the rest are just cash-grabs. This one is terrible.… Expand

    Mercenary Day is a very small but creative DLC with a great deal of eye candy. And although It doesn't offer something particularly fresh, it's a nice DLC to play after you have finished the main game. Worth your money ? Hmm.. on sale maybe.
