asuming that the 360p quality was intended: even the quality of this video is better then the dlc
videos take time to process
Admiral Bahroo But it's still true
Honestly the Holodome was worth the money...in BL2 we paid 5 dollars for level cap and this dlc is like 2 dlc's in 1.
Corbin Nielson What 2 DLCs does the Holodome include? It's just an arena. The UVHM part of the update is free for everybody.
ipodbrawlgamer123 Level Cap increase too
That's why you buy The Handsome Collection because you get both games for $60 and all DLC for free for both.
+ButterlesToast what do you have the handsome collection for? Ps4 or Xbone
+BoBDaBlObz xbone
If you have a 360 or PS3 you can get all 3 games with all the dlc for about the same price or less
Trey Seetaram Or you can buy it for the Xbox One or PS4 for better graphics.
ButterlesToast I'm pretty sure that graphics isn't a major issue in a borderlands game
Yeah it just confirms my suspicion that this entire game is Gearbox cashing in on the BL2 engine one last time before they have to make a game that actually takes effort.
Hopefully that means people who still enjoy the game can look forward to the new one and forget the Presequel. My support of this franchise is shaking after what ever this bullshit was, I have the season pass so I will be looking into future dLC just to get some kind utility out of that purchase, but if it doesn't shape up I might not add another Borderlands game in my steam library again.
Justyn Mebane yeah hopefully it will be one of those things where people say ,"we dont talk about TPS"
No! Not gearbox! Gearbox didnt do shit but 2K australia created BL TPS
2K wants to see if they can make boderlands alnoe so they can shutdown gearbox and steal the game just like bioshock. Remember bioshock 2 was 2K's work. Irrational game didnt do shit. and now irrational game is gone and 2K said they will be the one making future bioshock... You see the pattern? 2K wants to steal games and claim them as their own games. but 2K australia is failing hard so gearbox will survive because this proves only gearbox can make good games not 2K
rmskawk thats not how it works
it was a collaboration the whole way, 2K Australia is just an indipendant branch
rmskawk I thought 2k australia was Irrational games? Weren't they renamed in 2007
How to make Holo-dome better:
-Add more enemies per round
-Add non respawnable bosses
-change unique weapon abilities to make it useful and not just a weapon you would use for a small amount of time and them sell it or grind it
-Add more enemy variety
None of these things are gonna be changed
Ricardo Carrillo One can think of the good that can happen
you cant grind special weapons
12171010011010
wait! they are not legendary?!??!!???
August Sundin because its not gearbox, it's 2K Australia, they made the hammerlock dlc, now it all makes sense
Its in 360p now, give it time to process. CZcams is slow today.
Bahroo, you forgot to mention your view on the Handsome A.I. mission that is also in this DLC. Did it break your mind that much? :p
hey bahroo with the Handsome AI mission i thinks it is just a reason why the fuck rhys from tales from the borderlands somehow got a Jack AI installed into his brain. So it was basiccally a reason thrown into the package at the last minute
I would say this DLC is a "meh"
God damn it randal pitchfork your pushing me farther and farther away from beerfox games altogether. This dlc is a depressing version of magical slaughter the "new" guns are terrible all across the board ive been hit by audio visual lag within the dlc and as soon as i leave it goes away. There one new enemy. And onoy one boss that returns and out of four times of killing knuckle dragger i got 2 nukems. This dlc feels poorly executed. And poorly made musics not even a remix its as stated tooken from eleseer. Most of this dlc you look for enemys rather then being in constant fights its just horrible for me ill rate it 3 out of 10 and recommend that it is not purchased unless the player has the season pass. Im sad to see them do this to borderlands.. :'(
Dude this DLC looks like an hour or 2 of development time it looks like complete shitt
The more I play the pre-sequel the more I want to play borderlands 1 or 2 instead
Mad moxxis theme and digistruct peak are my favorite songs from the series.
So I just randomly saw your video on the recommended vids for me and decided to checkout your opinion of the DLC, which all seems fair to me. I have the DLC but haven't actually played it yet and thx to you and some other stuff I read about it I think I won't waste my time on this 1 yet. Sure I'll get around to it sometime but that'll be after some real campaign DLC comes out giving me an actual reason to play through the game again.
Got it this morning. Played it and I feel your right on the mark man. It reminds me of them underdome in the first borderlands. You play through it and the rewards are so so.
I'm a die hard BL fan and expect great things from the game but what i ask is "what was made to change the game". I mean at least the underdome it introduced the bank which changed how you dealt with loot in BL1.
Borderlands laid a foundation of a great game. Dr Ned allowed you to unload on multiple easy to find enemies (possibly to let out rage on how disappointing the destroyer was lol). Moxxie gave us the bank. Knoxx gave a great story great end game and of course Cromerax. And clap trap gave us boss fights, a loot room and I enjoyed killing all those CL4P-TP units (I'm not the biggest claptrap fan)
BL2 improved from there with an unforgettable story line and smooth game play and six classes that were clearly different in skill trees. And more enemies than you could imagine except no scythids. Scarlet had descent end game but it did let us know that all DLCs will have a raid boss which is a change. Torgue did not do much but it did introduce a concept of only the strong survive something that can be clearly seen in tales of the borderlands game. Hamerlock added witchdoctors capable of making those around him stronger something we see with orcs in Tina's and eternials in BLPS. Tina's gave us chests that could be opened with eriduim for chance at great loot leading to moonstone chests. Head hunters showed they can do seasonal specials and plan to do more in the future.
BLPS changed the fighting style with oz kits something that can be changed to jet packs or something in the future. But holodome has not brought anything new to the table, not just for BLPS but the franchise as a whole. I'm disappointed deeply but i care about the brand to much to give up on it now. I look forward to the future as well as the next chapter in tales of the borderlands.
Bahroo finds this attempt at a DLC... adorable.
I feel that floating circle in the middle would have been the perfect size. Just tweak it a bit, like sometimes a platform could rise from underneath and fill in the hole in the middle, and at set times a boss could drop down and shatter a part of it causing you to get less and less space. There was so much potential.
Also surprised the Scavs riding Kraggons didn't make an appearance. They would have been perfect!
God that Underdome music is awesome. Brought back a lot of memories!
JanickGers0 for me it brought back all the bad memories of playing those damn arena fights solo.....barely got out of those arena's alive...
My girlfriend and I love TPS, it's actually our favorite Borderlands game so far due to the improvements it has over 1 (story, mic quality, and frustrating damage reduction by level) and 2 (lackluster final chapter, and UVHM being a massive slag worshipping bullet sponge) but the small size does feel a smidge like a deal breaker.
I believe that Gearbox is just making a small little mistake with underestimating the lack of content the game has in comparison with 2, but we shouldn't keep acting like they are ignoring or hating us:
>If the were ignoring us, we would still have 4x health UVHM with health regeneration forcing us to Worship Cryo damage.
>If they did hate us they would have made nothing and let us wait 3+ years for Borderlands 3.
This game gave me hope for the franchise that UVHM of the last game damaged, so I have hope that the DLC campaign they have planned for this game will make up for their screw-ups. :)
You still together
@@samisgoingham9362 wtf 😂
I'm going to say gearbox knew this would be shite before launch considering they released uvhm free but kept the level upgrade(one of the main reasons to play uvhm) with this dlc so it'd get at least some sales.
The only reason why I bought UVHM packs in BL2 was for the level increase.
They suckered alot of people into getting this seasom pass. And have the nerve to release this shit.
"Wanted to give a quick update on what the teams are working on in regards to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. As they continue to work on updates as well as future DLC - including a campaign add-on unlike any other in Borderlands history -- the teams at 2K Australia and Gearbox have also been exploring what is easily the most-requested feature: farmable bosses.
Right now, the teams are experimenting with two different approaches. One is to make as many of the bosses able to respawn as possible. However, some bosses are proving difficult in that regard due to the way their encounters are set up, such as Zarpedon, so in those cases the team is looking for ways to make the loot they drop available through other sources.
While there is no timeline for implementation yet as there is still a chance that we find out our current solutions may not pan out, we wanted to let you know that we’re listening and are hoping to make this available as part of a future update to the game. We’re always listening to your feedback and will continue passing community feedback (positive or negative) to the team and popping in to provide the latest as its available."
You pretty much nailed it. I know it's 2 years later. I bought it for the extra levels on my skill tree. Still 10 bucks, still the same Holodome. Remembering the curtains opening for the bosses that showed up on Moxxi's Slaughterdome from BL1, sigh, they could have done something like that here. Random boss from the game comes in to wipe you out. If it were me... I would have had a light show and the boss dropping in right in the middle lowered in on a platform, or something. And respawning chests would have been good too.
Bahroo, i love your vids because of your honesty and b/c i can tell you love bl and want to see it succeed!
In 5 years, tps is gonna be the "unmentionable" of the borderlands series. The game people like to pretend never happened
David Warden well yeah, it's bad now too. But I'm talking about wen bl3, is out
I feel like that's true in terms of endgame and replayability. The first playthrough is fun, but after that I've had almost no drive to do anything.
I thought the exact same thing during the livestream and I hope those thoughts change when the story DLC comes out.... especially considering I bought the season pass -.-
like sonic 2006
Bullet2Da_Knee Not even this game deserves to be classed as sonic 06 worthy. While it is quite bad, it hasn't reached THAT level of shit yet... Yet.
Please upload the segment of you having an epiphany while Nakayama knocks :D
I remember on PS3 when BL2 DLCs would literally take /all/ day to go live. They'd say 10 AM PST, I'd get home from work and it would go live at 9 PM EST... Their track record is easy to forget sometimes.
Thanks a ton Bahroo me and my friend are both in Highschool so not a ton of money to go around. We played the pre sequel and your reviews basically tell us a solid yes or no as to if we get it. Thanks for saving our wallets.
I actually think the T4S-R (The pistol that somehow went untalked about) is the best weapon from this dlc. I just can't play through the campaign again (I have 3 level 50 characters so that would be 3 more playthroughs of the exact same story) esp with the reduced experience.
I suddenly realized why there are no Goliaths in TPS... They were promoted to game developers, and were put in charge of TPS.
I watched the whole livestream and the reaction was priceless as well the "new mission" :D
Having never really been a fan of slaughter domes, I have to say that I actually had high hopes for this one. There was an expectation of perhaps having many of the non-respawnable unique enemies appearing giving players the chance to get at their loot. No.
There were the new weapons and enemies, which were welcome but not really up to scratch.
As you said, the size of the area was completely unnecessary, I was also hunting around for the last enemy of each wave. And what was the point of the huge entrance area? The mods got me excited when I first saw one, but after looking at the skills it appeared that they had been slapped together at random. Synergy is elusive...
A part I love about borderlands is the writing, and the storyline was amusing and I was happy with that, as sparse and brief as it was. Could they not have just had the waves of enemies be representative of the main story? This could have been the pre sequel condensed into an hour or two, instead of just being a shooting gallery for Dahl troops and guardians. It pains me to say it, as I'm sure it does everyone who loves borderlands, but this was not what we expected, it was not what we wanted, and not what we deserved.
Bahroo, if there was a contest for hitting nails on their heads, you would win with a giant hammer. Which would probably be more effective at killing things than the new guns...
Thank you Bahroo. I logged 110 hours of pre-sequel the first week or two of launch and I couldn't find a reason to keep playing. Even vanilla BL2 had Terra farming which was fun, even for the 300+ times cause it was an enjoyable fight. I'll keep watching what you put up. I feel sorry you had to buy this dlc and play it, but I'm very thankful that you're warning other people not to waste their money on this. The worst part I feel about this dlc is that people will HAVE to get this if a legitimate endgame is added with a amazing dlc. so it'd basically be paying 20 bucks to play 1 dlc because honestly I never see myself touching this one. Thanks again, keep up the good work.
Man this year has some shitty ass games i thought pre sequel would be good but its just joining stigma cough cough halo MCC,assassin's creed unity,advance warfare wtf the fuck is happening?
Just desperate companies coveting the last few dollars out of people refusing to move over to the next generation.
We learned literally nothing from Colonial Marines.
I thought gearbox and 2K were better than that
Ricardo Carrillo
Hang on, lemme bust out the font-bolding megaphone.
*We literally learned nothing from Colonial Marines.*
Seriously, google how Gearbox had to refund A:CM games purchased in the EU due to embezzlement [that funded BL2!]. They are 'That Company.'
Well now i I'm going back to the classic BL2 in fact classic games are the only thing good out there.
not halo :(((((((((
gaige and axton asking athena to tell the short version of the story between rounds, 11/10 thats all i ever wanted, now need to include the other vault hunters in a future dlcs.
I wonder how the combat flow would be with 4 people.....YIKES!!!!
_sigh_
..and so my favorite franchise starts going down the drain.
Now there is only Dark Souls, whose devs actually listened to fans and gave GFWL a huge middle finger for us!
Well... DKS2 Poka...?
DKS2 wasn't... eh, whatever.
Bloodborne! yeh! Are you going to be getting a PS4 and playing it? :)
Don't think it's going down the drain. A lot of franchises have an installment or two that sucked. If this continues, then ya-borderlands is fucked
Katnappp DkS2 at least refined some mechanics, even if the PvE was shit. But yeah, I see what you're saying. Not sure about the PS4 yet, but BB is looking so juicy!
Greg Smith Maybe not yet, but it's not headed in the best direction. We can only hope!
And yeah, dark souls... That's some good shit
In Miyazaki we trust, so looking forward to bloodborne.
God damn this game went to shit... I'm so glad I didn't buy the season pass for this game. I'm done with the Pre Sequel. Just waiting for the Borderlands remastered game to come out. I hope Bahroo does a review of that as well because I really want that game for my ps4 but only if they do a lot of updates to the game. Anyway I agree 100% with your review Bahroo. Get your shit together gearbox
well you waited 4 years to play the borderlands remaster, was it worth the drought in between?
The oxygen bubbles are important. They provide atmosphere which allows you to ignite enemies, they allow you to O2 revive your allies no problem, and they affect some O2 kits.
Bro-man-Bahroo give me your Nisha build. You're kicking way more ass in a previous vid than I am at similar levels.
Gearbox said that it would solve many in game issues that we have. Making Flameknuckle farmable doesnt mean that you solved all our issues. sure you can farm Nukems and grind them now, but lets see how long it takes them to nerf his drop rates and any enjoyment we had with the game. Come on gearbox. Everyone is going back to borderlands 2 so they can play the Wattle Gobbler dlc because it isnt Pre-sequel. People would rather get trolled by Terramorphous and get knocked off the cliff upon entering his arena. Make enemies respawn and you dont have to come up with this holodome bullshit. Everyone with a season pass couldnt even download the holodome, and maybe it was a premenition for us all not to play it.
The things you said in the video were the EXACT same things I was thinking a few hours ago while playing. I was actually kinda excited for it while going in, and having high hopes for an actual endgame. Then, after I beat the 2nd round I was starting to realize how shitty the DLC really is...
Playing as nisha through this dlc went something like this: Wait for enemies to spawn. Action skill. Search for new enemies. Action Skill. Search for hiding enemies. Then repeat.
Two points I want to make:
1) I found the Sky Rocket shotgun to be quite effective against unarmored targets (Although the fire rate is pretty bad)
2) I believe the Boxxy only explodes when you reload prematurely. I didn't test it thoroughly, but every time I emptied the clip, it didn't explode.
Now for my thoughts
This DLC wasn't that great. If I didn't own the Season Pass, there's no way I woulda bought it. I kept waiting for something awesome to happen at the end of each round, something having to do with the story. Maybe Zarpedon shows up, or maybe the destroyer's eye appears in the middle of the arena and you have to fight it. Everything just sort of felt half-assed. There's barely anything new. Gonna have to go with Bahroo on this one; this is a $5 dlc at MOST.
Wouldn t pay more than 2 dollars for this shit.
After reading complaints and seeing this video I'm glad I didn't spend the $10 for this DLC. Been saying it should be $5 the whole time got hated on for saying that.Now After seeing this video hearing Bahroo's complaints reading other complaints it should be a $1 DLC.
The story campaign DLC will be amazing...Gearbox will set records for how awful a DLC can be...
3/10 Not enough water.
-IGN
IGN got something right for once.
Don't forget "Handsome AI", that amazing mission.
Man getting to 60 takes forever! I hope that once all the DLCs are out it will be worth it either that or once they fire the person in charge right now and get a new one!
I think they made it bigger because of the way you get around in this game. Just a thought.
I think they made it bigger just so they could use jump pads. In any case, the only good thing about the arena size is that you can hide to regen your shields easier.
There was a completely Stage full of jump pads and deadly pitfalls( Space) in this game, why they making it again?
Iris Confusion Yeah, but, jump pads...
When you love rayman YOU WOULD STILL HATE IT BECAUSE IT'S EGO-3D NOT 2D
It's sad really. I loved borderlands 2 and had an absurd amount of hours on it. But something about the pre sequel seemed off to me from the start. It just seemed like a money grab and I have been proven right over and over it seems.
I liked it at first . When it first came out it was great. Until they started nerfing things and not fixing things was when I seen the troubles starting. The only time we get patches, is when a DLC is about to hit. Those patches fixes. They could delay the DLC to fix the bugs put in farmable bosses issues the fans complain about but they're to worried about their cash grab scheme to fix the real issues in the game.
In regards to what's off, I've been doing some exploring, and I think it's the lighting. I feel like 2K AU was trying to make a somber, more depressing game, so the lighting is almost always much darker than at any point in BL2. Pay attention to it the next time you play. I feel like it definitely creates a more depressed, saddened mood.
Get that feeling as well.
i feel like TPS was made specifically for gearbox to have extra time to make 3
20 days. I spent 20 days of my life playing it! Such a great game.
If Gearbox add some kind of boss rush mode thing to the dome I think that would be pretty awesome + it would make farming some what easer assuming the drop rates don't change
Felicity dropped something for me: the Nisha skin I picked as a reward for round one not even ten minutes prior to my killing her. That felt a bit like a slap in the face.
This DLC should not have been worth $10, you can buy the Shock Drop Slaughter Pit for $5 and it's practically the same thing.
YoteslayA must be turning in his grave over this shit dlc
I hope Randy gets to see this video. How about we all tweet it to him?
Thank you for your review Admiral Bahroo. I felt the same way about the game. The holodome was a bit big for the type of combat we are used to in Borderlands. Another fault in the game that I wish they did would be to have a round where you can gather ammo from digistruct chests because I felt that I was running out of ammo quickly. The game really feels gutted and didn't have that "arena" feel where the game. I want to thank you for pointing out the soundtrack because the other two arena songs felt like the music kept up with the action and this one felt like...well there was no action. My hope is that Gearbox will make a turnaround, since I too hold Gearbox to a higher standard of game development.
So this is the Wattle Gobbler of The PreSequel?
It's more like the Pre Sequel is the Wattle Gobbler of Borderlands 2
Too true
There were redeeming character Skins and a cute 'raid boss' in Wattle Gobbler. This is just insulting.
That's unfair to the WG. At least that was a headhunter pack and only cost three bucks.
but the other headhunter packs were better than WG
Gearbox is really making some very poor choices and the Holodome isn't all what i thought it would be, if they would actually listen to their fanbase maybe they would get somewhere but at this point they seem to only be making things worse and worse.
I agree with you on all points ive gone back to playing BL2 tiny tinas and digistruct.
Okay more on subject then...this is supposed to stop at the Badass Round right? I think my download is glitching because it won't progress from there, and now I got 2 of that nifty blue Jakobs sniper rifle.
All they had to do was spend $1000 to save millions.
Well yes, but actually no
This dlc was such a disappointment. I really regret buying the season pass. Its pretty sad when Telltale does a better job at making a Borderlands game than Gearbox. Don't get me wrong, I love Telltale, but you would think the original creators of this game (Gearbox) would have a grasp on what makes their games enjoyable.
wow... this was 2 years ago, I really did wait a bit too long before picking up this game. Unfortunately I do agree with you about 90% on this. I spend about as much or even more time trying to find foes than actually killing them. On top of that, one of the eridian warriors create mini ones that shoot you out of nowhere so to stop that I had to find the original guy that was a bit of a pain. On the plus side, I found it to be decent for exp with some new skins.
Moxxi's Underdome had one of the best soundtrack in Borderlands franchise,its EPIC
It's so frustrating when you know that they can fix the problem Everyone has with the game with ease! It's a simple fix there is no one who like the non respawn able minibosses so listen to the friggin people and get your heads out of your asses 2k Australia
Like If you think gearbox done fucked up with TPS
*2k australia
I blame 2K and Gearbox.
***** not 2K, just 2K Australia

They may make holodome a little more enjoyable, and make looting easier without using back up saves.
Nameyname Namefullname no, they screwed up beyond repair. I doubt that they will "waste" their time making fans happy unless it gives them more $$$$
No joke you sold me a Axton, About to start playing this like right now.
I was hoping this was the return of Underdome style battles with random variables between rounds and the ability respawn/farm those unfarmable bosses. such answered opportunity.
I love playing as the doppelganger in borderlands Pre-Sequel
i loved this video! finally a honest reviewer thats not throwing moderate ranks around for subpar gimmicky dlc.
hope for humanity, restored.
I really want Borderlands to do well too Bahroo, however I never really liked any of the underdome/arena style DLCs anyway, but I must say they seem to have dulled it down even further this time. They have quite a way to go to make the season pass worth it in my opinion. Borderlands needs a decent end-game, something you can work towards etc .. until then it will always have a ceiling of enjoyment, especially if lacklustre DLCs are all there is to prop it up.
the hyperion slaughter dome ost is omfg good
I've always been partial to the Bandit Circle music. That crap was my jam.
either i am crazy lucky or the added a drop for slegde's shotty from one of the darksider bosses
Kind of funny. Before I downloaded the DLC I was messing around with the masher. I put in 3 purples and did a moonstone mash and got a legendary class mod. Here's the kicker. I had to down load the dlc to use it.
Up next: Kraggons DLC for the Holodome DLC. Only an extra $10. Pre-order now, and receive a Deadlift Boss Fight.
I can't even get mine to appear. I have season pass, so it should appear, right? Do you have to buy it separately?
I totally agree, Bahroo. I played the Holodome, then I proceeded to level up to 51 and I think I'm done playing until the next DLC. Maybe they will save the game with a good campaign and some endgame content, but I doubt it.
I agree 100% Admiral Bahroo!
- took me about 2hrs to complete, but I spent ages running around looking for last two Eternals or Opha or whatever
- Map too big, enemy density low (I've only played as 1 player match, though). Spent a great deal of time finding one or two enemies at end of wave. I guess it's easy to catch your breath / heal: just use jump pad to other end of map to get away? But I wanna FIGHT!
- more trapdoors / fall death? Really Gearbox?! Can get knocked around while jump-padding from place to place
- new narrative / dialogue with Axton & Gaige between rounds that suffers from Borderlands treatment in general: what I mean is, they all talk when you're already fighting or shopping at vendor machines, so you can't hear any of it. Some of it sounded fun though
- Enemy types is severely lacking: Dahl troops / robots with Eridian walkers and flyers...LAME.
- Weapons are meh / rewards are crap. I saw only few purple rated gear, and most of them were skins / heads?
- class mods are no way better than current 'Celestial' ones. (I played Athena).
- 5 rounds and 1 badass round that loops once complete
- boring music
Season pass a waste of money so far.... but 3 easy achievements unlocked... meh
Played one round... couldn't be assed playing the rest... Its true what you are saying.. good video and review.
Just Gaige returning did it for me. She was my main in BL2 and never got any love except in the dlcs.
i feel like gearbox is trying to play with our feels, so they end up making like some super awesome dlc that will make up for it.
Am I the only one who likes the Pre-Sequal?? Clap Trap and Nisha are so fun to play as!
Great review man. Saved me 10$
The thing with the boxxy is that it does dammage to you when you throw it with the magazine NOT enirely empty... When you empty the clip 100% it does no dammage to you! At least from what I experienced :)
Do you think the graphics would be different on different game consoles because I was wanting to get holo done today but I'm not sure
hey Admiral, tbh i enjoyed this dlc , nice way to pass the time the guns and skins were interesting , and i will admit the search for enemies was annoying at times, but still fun, to me anyway, either way i don't think a 4/10 is what it deserves but maybe a 6/10 , and also the banter between axton and gaige was amusing. but i must respect your opinions and i cant wait for the next character dlc
the file size for this is a third of that of the Christmas headhunter pack
My thoughts: gearbox just said "here, play with this while we work on borderlands 3."
For some reason, the UVHM patch isn't working, and I'm not getting the circle of slaughter dome DLC even though I have the season pass
I cannot agree more with you Bahroo, Just finished the holodome DLC and oh boy was it depressing.
the weapon which kills your self is just going to hurt you if the ammo is like more then (like) 10 or something like that and this weapon is actually worth because the fire rate is realy good :)
Played this dlc with my jack hoping to level up, I did everything including the badass round. Did not even get half way through a level. What are they doing?
the baroness is mentioned in the dialogue before entering :)
I feel like gearbox is just trying to get stuff out as fast as they can so that they can get more money. You should do more bl2 if you can! Great videos though keep up the good work!
I'm curious as to how much of the DLC was directly done by Gearbox since 2K Australia are the main developers of the game. Gearbox simply lent their support, like giving them assets and stuff, if I recall.
In all honesty it felt like they took an unused section of Tycho's Ribs, slapped some other assets in there and called it a day. The side objectives were funnish,. I kinda get that they were trying to do the whole thing of it being Athena telling the story again again, but they could have at least been consistent and given us enemies that somewhat corresponded to the part of the story they were telling. If I hadn't been given the Season Pass I wouldn't have bothered getting it.
Another thing is that some of the new Guardian enemies can drop the new items. I got one of the new COMS (the green mission reward one) and a Boxxy - I thought they were supposed to be special?
I think the holodome could've been the answer to the farming boss issue, and make it like what Bahroo suggested and make them random each day.
I don't know if it's a Steam problem or a Mac problem, but my library shows the new DLC as available and just refuses to download it. So there's that. I'm doing my best to just forget about this game; I've gone back and watched some of your old BL2 videos though, and they've inspired me to go back and work on a Salvador(which I'd never done). If TPS has done anything for me, it's introduced me to your content, which I'm enjoying. Thanks.
Bandit Slaughterdome's music was amazing. I will put that out there. Unfortunately, I have to agree with your review entirely.
Additional: The boxxy's chance of hurting you when reloaded -deceases- as the magazine empties. If the magazine is -more- empty, it is LESS likely to hurt you. If it's more FULL, then it's more likely to cause damage on you. The T4s-R is nice, imho. It's a hyperion pistol that -very- quickly gains accuracy. It shoots lasers that have instant travel time and has a very good rate of fire and a high chance (about 25%) for elemental effect. With cryo, it's very nice. I THINK the laser damage is affected by laser damage buffs? But I'm not sure.
Your disappointment, however, is shared by me. As I said above: I think you're absolutely right in everything you said about it. Which is sad, because this game has potential.
Let me ask one question, did this count as the 'single' DLC we get for tps?
Me and my friends had a lot of fun with it,though everything you said is true bahroo we also have complaints we found ways to have fun with it the "hide and seek" issue was resolved with multiplayer and fast killing it takes a long time and the music is a huge issue but it can be fun if you have some good friends
Im fairly certain that GB made it large in order to seem like more of a DLC and not a mission inside a DLC like the Magic Slaughter Dome in BL2.
Thank you for the review and thank you for giving us permission to enjoy it.
Bahroo what rarity is the Berrigan? I hear it's Legendary but not a single person has uploaded a photo or video of it.....
Out of all the bosses they could have added they added the one that's now actually viable farming using the reset function....
Lets hope they step up their game for the next dlc.
For some reason when I went to the Holodome my shield got glitched so it wouldn't go done and I didn't take any damage. SO I was able to get all the achievements on one go without even trying. So I got to say it was pretty boring with having to trying to find enemies that were hiding but I got to love it for the glitch that made me invincible!!!
