![]() Aside from the fact that you have to completely re-equip your character every level or two, the RNG of combat is much more frustrating. The challenges in combat are exaserbated by the pain of the RNG in OP. Although I agree that BL2 needed something to make it more challenging, I'm not on board with it being such a dramatic shift from the tempo of the earlier game. ![]() In OP, you have to use a fairly limited pool of gear in order to survive. Before the OP levels, you can still pick up a gun and run with it. This is a far cry from the on-the-run improvisation of the earlier game. In my experience about half of the time spent moving up through the OP levels is spent repeatedly restarting the game and killing the same boss 15-20 times. In order to beat the Peak and keep going to higher levels, you will likely end up grinding the same enemies dozens and dozens of times in order to get the gear you need. 98% of the loot in the game (including nearly every Class Mod you find) becomes immediately useless and most people have to resort to using game-breaking techniques and exploitave strategies in order to win. I'm not sure how I would have made BL2 harder myself, but this doesn't feel right. Despite the developer claims about mixing things up during a run, the selection of enemies and the way you engage them is fairly routine.ĥ. I'm ALL for a challenge but the Peak gets boring after a while. There's not much to offer in the way of a story (one of the main strenghths of the base game) and you have to repeatedly fight the same enemies in the same arenas using, in all likelihood, the same guns you used in the previous run. The Peak is, to be succinct, an aggravating experience. For all intents and purposes this part of the DLC is non-functional.Ĥ. If they're anything like the UVHMI Pearls they wouldn't be worth mentioning. There's no reason for those, hell, ANY of the pearls to be that rare. I can understand making an item rare, but making it nearly unobtainable is just mean. They supposedly drop from Tubbies (as with the new Class Mods) but after 65+ hours of Tubby hunting I have yet to see ONE. I see no reason why they shouldn't have done so.Īs for the new Pearls, I can't even comment on them because I've never found them. My appraisal of this DLC would be much sunnier if GB had included a Legendary Variant of every class mod. As a result there's only a small handful of viable upgrade paths to get you through the Peak since you're gonna need the extra skills from the Legendary Class Mods to get anywhere. A number of character playstyles get cut off in UVHMII because GB didn't support 'em. The new set of Legendary Class Mods are great, but they didn't create Legendary versions of more than half of the mods in the game. Largely an afterthought to me but perhaps of interest to other players.ģ. You can already Upgrade your character to get two capstone Skills in UVHMI and the enemies don't change in UVHMII. It nearly cost me my love of this game and it's raised my blood pressure to presumably dangerous levels.ġ. I've tried to do the Peak solo but it's honestly one of the worst things I've done in my life. I've spent hundreds of hours beyond Lv61, and believe me, it pains me to downvote ANY part of the Borderlands series. I'm not going to try and dissuade you because of the money, but because of what UVHMII may do to your BL2 experience. If you were considering buying this DLC, please read this review. Don't buy it with the game unless you know you will get a lot of mileage out of it in the long term. Not sure about you, but I don't like being duped when it comes to content.īuy it if you love the game to bits and have the time to sink into capping out several characters. It's not even the first time they've sold us huge but incomplete DLC bundles for this title, take a gander at the so called season pass if you will. I know I won't be buying a single skin or headhunter pack and neither should you, it supports this kind of godawful marketing strategy and will doublessly spawn even more games that try to imitate it (see also the Call of Duty franchise). *shudders* skin packs I guess) into a bundle with a decent price drop. 2K should put this pack and the headhunters (and the. Will cost you more money, even if you own the GotY edition that should have included this in the first place +Provides more challenge as the enemies will still scale to your level + Adds one of the most fun raids in the entire game + Extends playtime and enhances replay value It's more levels which means it's mandatory when playing public games as playing a 61 with a bunch of 72's is not fun. This pack is very much essential for the complete Borderlands 2 experience which is why I recommend it, however I still resent the fact that 2K did NOT include it in the GotY edition.
