![]() ![]() So, remember how fans complained about the vehicle controls in the original Borderlands? Apparently Gearbox responded with, "Okay then, Borderlands 2 will have ridiculously awesomer vehicles! Enjoy!" What I'm saying is, there's a new vehicle type that comes with the DLC, and it's downright amazing. One particularly terrifying new entry to the roster is the Anchorman, who will grapple you with chains so he can melee you to a bloody pulp. But straight-up calling it a Sandworm makes it way cooler.) All the traditional bandits and midgets are now decked out in pirate garb, and yes, there's indeed a new enemy type called the Badass Pirate. Which, as I also mentioned before, is awesome. As I mentioned before, the sandworm arrives as a new enemy type. Yes, Aubrey is another one of the new characters you'll get to meet, and you'll even be asked to murder her family pet because she finds it to be "gross." (She seems much less bothered by the fact that her grandmother used to feed orphans to it.)Īnd with the new locale and new characters comes a bevy of new other things too. Just ask Aubrey Callahan III, an apathetic hipster chick whose grandma was into child trafficking and cannibalism. Yeah, this guy's a bit on the creepy side.īut if that weren't true, he wouldn't really fit into the insane world Gearbox has created with the Borderlands series. But that doesn't keep Shade, (a character who you're told is "Your new BFF") from talking to them, and even proposing to one of them. In fact, almost all of its residents have died of dehydration. The name is ironic, you see, because there's no water here. This story allows you to explore a never-before-seen nook of Pandora, a town by the name of Oasis. (I'm also ninety percent sure she stole her ship design from Jabba the Hutt's Sail Barge.) Oh yeah, from the second you meet this clever lady, you're warned that she's most likely going to betray you. During the game's story, you'll be asked to help her piece together a compass that will reveal the location of a legendary treasure. Among them is the titular Captain Scarlett, a lass with a penchant for murder, treasure, and double-crossing her friends. This mangy group of no-good scallywags is perhaps a bit out of sorts in the deserts of Pandora, but they're here nonetheless. You see, the focus of Borderlands 2's newest content, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty, is sand pirates. So you can imagine that when I found out one of my favorite games of 2012 so far, Borderlands 2, would be getting DLC based on pirates and sandworms, I pretty much wet myself and sobbed tears of happiness. And ever since reading Frank Herbert's Dune, I've had a fondness for sandworms. ![]() When I was growing up, I thought pirates were pretty much the coolest thing ever.
