Third Borderlands DLC Raises Level Cap

I don't buy DLC it feels like left out content to make an extra dime and traditionally it costs more than its worth. It can also be a pain if everyone has different versions (DLC content) of a game. Especially if you go to LAN parties. Please just release a traditional expansion pack. It helps everyone stay on the same page.

Haven't played the game, so I'm waiting on responses (or til I rent it) until I judge this entirely, but I think releasing DLC that quickly is a fucking SCAM. If they had it that ready to go at launch time, why not just include it with the game in the first place?

The reason I'm not saying that opinion is set in stone is because maybe everyone feels that the game was not lacking due to the DLC. This is stemming from complaints people had when the whole "DLC Expansions" were first being talked about when the live marketplace was starting. The compaint in question is that devs will end up releasing games that aren't quite complete until you buy the DLC released very closely to the game release. Basically, it was a fear that they would finish a game, lob off a few chunks and sell those parts of the game that should have been in the full release as DLC, thus selling an incomplete game.

Is that the case here? Of the people who own it, hpw many of you feel the game was lacking and it seems that they took parts of the completed game and withheld them as DLC to dig deeper into our wallets? Do you feel the retail release suffered because they were working on DLC while working on the game?

OR, is all that fear unfounded? Did the game feel complete and whole without DLC? Did the DLC just seem like shit they couldn't fit on the disc?

I hope the patch gets rid of all the modded items and weapons!!! I'm tired of lamers coming into my game asking for modded weapons or showing off their crappy modded shit that slows down the game or flat out crashes it. At the very least the modded weapons ruin the experience by making the users of them too powerful. You should never be able to kill Skagzilla with one hit! A**wipes!

The Island of Zed was fantastic, but Mad Moxxi was an absolute crap heap. Here's hoping the third DLC is better.

Game is crap. By level 20 you've seen all the bonus' on weapons and the max amount those bonus' can ever be. Only difference between a level 20 gun and a level 50 gun is the base weapon damage. Top level guns don't have more bonus' or bigger bonus' or new combination of bonus', just increased base damage. Then the rinse and repeat of mobs and DLC even brought some rinse and repeat boss'. Plus adding simple things like item storage, which should have been in from the start, gets added only if you buy the DLC.

And be prepared to be treated like a lesser being if you're purchasing this crap ware on the PC. Took them for ever to just get item cards to display correctly, and they still got it wrong. Push to talk, adjusting VOIP volume, or even adjusting the voice activated levels. Those are "additional features" that PC users just don't need. Still haven't added them and at this rate probably never will.

Underdome is was the endgame Borderlands needed. Increased level cap sounds perfect provided the enemies scale even higher.

I'll pick up all three DLCs when they remove SecuROM from them. I do not want SecuROM when I am buying these products on Steam. Until then, I'm not interested.

Oh fuck off Gearbox/2K, we should never have to pay for important fixes to your game.

Shame on those who buy into this junk.

sheiiiiiiiiiit.

I loved this game but sold it when I got all the achievements and level capped. Zombie island was kick ass, will buy again if they up the levels.

lol level cap increase. NEEDS MORE SKILLS.

Is there a way (on 360) to see if someone is playing in the moxi arena? I want to play it with others but am struggling as I don't know 3 others with borderlands on 360.

Cool, maybe a new loot grade, class, raise lvl cap, new skill tier?

I am sure they can do so much more with the game, the tough thing is do they build on BL 1 or do they add all the goodies to BL 2?

I really don't know which it will be, either way more BL the better.

Oh ya as well [Repost] for those that don't know about it for the PC:

i find myself caring more about the update than the DLC...

Heh, coming off of Giant Bomb's Ryan Davis saying "I vowed to never play Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot EVER AGAIN!". At least this one isn't a challenge treadmill with Vampire Mode.

Screenshots never seem to show up in Firefox.
