    There just isn’t a whole lot here compared to past entries. No new enemies, minimal loot drops across two completions, repurposed geometry to make new areas, five skill points instead of the rumored full fourth skill tree that should be coming later. I thought this would end up being one of the most substantial DLCs to date, but instead, I definitely think it’s the least. The writing is good, but everything else is somewhat lacking here.

    This DLC just shows how the writing team needs a full overhaul. Having to sit and listen to characters for 5 minutes straight STILL before youThis DLC just shows how the writing team needs a full overhaul. Having to sit and listen to characters for 5 minutes straight STILL before you can do anything, and then being able to just run through most areas is laughable, honestly it is some of the dumbest **** I've seen out of this staff. This was your 4th attempt to get a DLC right, and instead you turned it into the most boring, over fan serviced **** show you could imagine. The side mission about burying Krieg's buzz axe is every side mission pretty much. "Hey krieg, oh, we're sitting here... doing nothing.... just talking still.... okay now i spam E and the mission is done." (seriously, how could you mess up side missions so badly?) Then you just had to try and emotion bait everyone with Maya, ya know, the character you completely screwed over in the main story for no real well thought out reason? The "themes" or "lessons" you tried ham-fisting through this DLC felt more like being read a children's book about growing up, than seeing how a psycho comes to term with loss and grief of a loved one he was never truly able to confess too. For the love of god Gearbox, what are your writers smoking?… Full Review »

    Most boring and short quests of the entire franchise. Jokes and new guns were boring and flat. Writing was lame. The train boss was cool, butMost boring and short quests of the entire franchise.
