Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty is what downloadable content ought to be: expansive and apart. It's instantly recognisable, but it experiments with many of the gameplay mechanics players are familiar with. It introduces carefully conceived and thoroughly realised new non-player characters, and provides an encapsulated encounter that any fan of Borderlands 2 would do very well to consider.
In all, it's a solid start to what is to be a promising roll out of Borderlands 2 DLC and it's an especially manageable adventure if you're level 15 or higher in your current playthrough (not counting raid bosses).
A very nice add-on, plus, with lines that cracked me up - I really enjoyed this DLC; however, the story felt a bit short and was somewhat easy to complete. A definite purchase for fans of Borderlands 2
Compared to the DLC's from Borderands 1, this particular DLC is a fine improvement from not only the improvements over the gripes from Borderlands 1 but also the gripes of it's DLC's. Particularly, my biggest complaint with the BL1 dlc's is that they only had 1 FAST TRAVEL SYSTEM in the DLC, so you were forced to keep backtracking from where you started off, especially with the Armory of General Knoxx. Also, a smaller complaint I had with these particular BL1 DLC's is that each DLC either focused on All Vehicle travel or all Foot Travel, which is a pain considering that a lot of the DLC's from BL1 were also a development test to bring out BL2 with that kind of innovation. Thankfully, this first BL2 DLC suffers from neither of those issues. Now there are multiple Fast Travel Networks in this DLC (so far), so you won't have to backtrack, A New Vehicle (which in a way is pretty decent once you get used to it) and most importantly, this DLC balances both Vehicle and On-Foot Combat spetacularly. Also, I enjoy the new familiar and added enemies in this DLC, as well as the fact that they have been completely re-skinned and voiced over to represent the whole idea of "Pirate's Booty". The new guns also stack up to the whole pirate mythology, with 'Cursed" guns (although I didn't tend to notice these negatives as much), and overall this DLC altogether has a lot more effort put into the content that they give. Although, the story aspect for me is kind of a return from the BL1 DLC content, but the dialogue is still funny and a riot to listen to. Fortunately, this DLC doesn't suffer too hard from the spontaneous dialogue leakage that either interrupts or overlaps other ECHO logs you were currently listening to. I would wholeheartedly suggest not only getting this DLC but the season pack, as I can tell this attention to detail by Gearbox will keep coming with later DLC's.
Another juicy chunk of action, with a new cast of iconic characters, lots of new missions and even more loot-zilla. Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty needs yor help: what're you waiting for, Vault Hunter?
A textbook example of worthwhile downloadable content, with action that's just as good as the main game but different enough that it feels like a unique experience.
In the end, Captain Scarlett offers pretty much more of the same amount of fun found in the core game, and it never really progresses any further than that.
Excellent DLC, you would be a little greedy to ask for anything more. I love this game bc of the expansive maps, engaging story, and loot. In this dlc I get all of that. Just as I was in the campaign, I was surprised at how big the maps were. Nothing felt repetitive about the locations, I feel as though the developers did a great job of making every location new and fresh for the player. It's a pleasure to look and explore each environment. In Pirates Booty, you will get LOTS of booty. Mad loot. I finished it in a few days, I do believe it could be a little longer. But there are a good amount of side missions and places to explore so you really can't complain. Get this dlc today! (my iPad is not letting me give this a 10, it only let's me choose 8) (sorry)
This is a better DLC than those of BL1, at least due to the existence of more than one fast travel point. All the pros and cons of the main game still apply here, and globally it is better played through in coop. If you want more of the main game you'll be served here. I think it's a shame not to dive deeper in the pirates' universe, moreover in a "crazy" licence like BL. Also, capping the quests level to 30 makes it way too easy for those who have finished the main game.
A bit bland, but good none the less. A few more interactive NPCs would have been nice. I found Shade annoying and was glad when his missions were done with. I was never fond of Hunter S. Thompson, so a parody of him wasn't appealing either. Captain Scarlett on the other hand is really good and I loved her character. If ..... sorry when, they make a Borderlands 3 I hope the keep her as a main NPC like they did with Moxxi in this game. Overall a decent DLC that does not lack in content, but could have used a bit more substance.
The first dlc for borderlands 2 was a disappointment in my opinion. Don't get me wrong the characters were fine, the story if it just dragged on and I found myself very bored in the last quarter of this dlc. The enemies in the dlc are mainly just new skins apart from a few which are actually new. Although one if the new enemies is particularly overpowered, this enemy has the ability to steal health from you if he hits you which gets quite annoying after a while. Overall I didn't really like this dlc but other people may still enjoy it.
