![]() The crystal merchant in Oasis is just the Crazy Earl model, re-skinned with a purple crayon. ![]() I found the choice of model-reuse from the main game to be odd. It again breaks the illusion of a world that the rest of the franchise worked so hard to set up. The voicing of the character is so flat, it just feels like the voice actress gave up. One of the early job board quests involves a disaffected girl who wants you to kill her grandmas pet and destroy her ship. My first half hour in Oasis was also a bit of a disappointment. I know that the core of Borderlands Universe is rife with pop cultural easter-eggs, but up until now every character felt like it emerged naturally from the Borderlands universe, Shade, with his giant sunglasses, large rimmed hat, and long cigarette-rocket-thingy, feels like straight up plagiarism. ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW*** Oasis looks cool as you enter, but within a few minutes, you meet the first character, "Shade", a rubber-stamp copy of Johnny Depp in Fear & Loathing. I know it's is odd to criticize anything in the Borderlands universe for a lack of subtlety, but this add-on tries so hard to be over the top, it often falls flat. The first handful of quests seem as if they were outsourced, unvetted, or turned over to interns for development. I absolutely love the gritty Heavy Metal-esque (magazine) style world that Gearbox created, which is why this release was so disappointing to me. Let me start by saying that I have spent way more hours playing in the Borderlands than I care to admit. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally, I think the new vehicle they introduce makes getting Captain Scarlet worth the investment all by itself lol! Omg, driving that thing is a complete hoot! And the new charectors they introduce-especially that creepy guy you meet first, he is so lovable and repulsive at the same time lol! I mean, he's so gross but you stare at him anyway lol! Where do they come up with this stuff? … Expand Anyway, Captain Scarlet is a very satisfying, off the wall side adventure and exactly what a good DLC should be. Personally, I think the new vehicle Awsome DLC for an awsome game! The quirky humor makes you go "what the.?" while at the same time laughing-but thats Borderlands in general, they just made it better, longer, and more in depth for Borderlands 2 and this DLC in particular. … ExpandĪwsome DLC for an awsome game!

The main plot revolves around Captain Scarlett and the ending is completely and ridiculously unresolved with her Would not recommend this DLC. The normals chests are the typical White-Purple loot range and the "buffed" chests have a higher chance for purples and a chance for legendaries. The loot at the end is series of normal chests and "buffed" chests. The final boss is trash: it's immobile and has long periods of downtime where you can't damage it, there is no audio track in the background so there are often periods where there is no sound, and its appearance is highly underwhelming 2. Sandhawk is a good gun I can't emphasize enough how entirely horrendous the ending is - 1. The character you spend the most time with is so unintuitive, predictable, and a pain in the ass to listen to Pros - 1. Loot at the end is objectively garbage (I received only 2 purples from the final boss and loot room of the campaign and 0 legendaries throughout the entirety of the story). Most of the time you will spend is going from one place to another and on elevators 3. Very slow story with boring, static characters 2. Currently $10 on steam I would recommend only buying when less than $4.
