After the poor showing of the main story, I gotta say that these two pieces of DLC have been fucking incredible. My frustrations are gone, I'm enjoying the game again and they are just downright hilarious at times. Not without their flaws, but definitely a step up from the end of the main game.
A mighty fine booty, as well |
Yeah, she totally does |
You kill the last boss (not even Scarlett, it's some random giant monster), find the treasure, and then the credits roll. That's it, no conclusion with Scarlett, she just fucks off somewhere between her betraying you and making it to the final area. There's no conclusion at all really, but it leaves room for Scarlett to return in a sequel, which is a good thing. Overall, DLC number one was pretty good, but, and I'm gonna be blunt, DLC two is where is fun is...
I don't typically laugh out loud during games, it's more a under my breath chuckle. However, that all changed during Mister Torgue's Campaign Of Carnage...everything in here is fucking hilarious! Between Torgue's constant yelling and steroid-fueled insanity, he easily ranks up there as the best character is Borderlands ever. He's basically Hulk Hogan, but if Hulk Hogan was snorting mountains of cocaine, in addition to taking steroids. I didn't think I'd ever hear a character yell "BLOWJOBS!" in a video game, but it happened.
The story is basically a parody of old action films and the troupes you would typically see in them, and blowing them completely out of proportion. And the best part is, it works. The humour, the characters, the plot, it all comes together to create a pretty damn hilarious, and enjoyable couple of hours. And the story wraps up nicely for once!
Overall, if the rest of the DLC even comes close to the heights of Campaign Of Carnage, I'll call Borderlands 2 a success. If it doesn't, then I'll probably still be happy with my time with Borderlands 2, but more so because of what it could've been and the ideas of what the franchise could become, not what it was.
I'll leave the opening of Campaign Of Carnage here as well, just to give an example of the humour and how insane it becomes.

Yup, that's totally the name of the main area |
