This is by far the worst DLC I have played for this game.

In a game I already hate with a passion for collecting a cult following for no understandable reason, this mess of a DLC is without a doubt the pinnacle of it's terrifyingly prevelent flaws.

: This game is ♥♥♥♥ like the main game. Want to know why? Read the long version before rage posting :)

: Ill make this really short, because I've already written a review for the base game, and this is basically the plot of the main game but with a feminist version of Jack. Ready? Here we go:

"Enter the hostile wastelands of Pirate Bay..." <- Lol, argg! Pirate Bae be censored
- This is the only thing thats true about this DLC, and it stands as a monument to the overall design of this game in general. Picture yourself entering a warm colored desert, filled with desert life and amazing flora and fauna for you to battle your way through as you discover the mysteries of this plane of pandora for yourself. Now take that scenic picture and ♥♥♥♥ on it. Thats what it ACTUALLY looks like. Yup, if you expected something different enviornment wise than what the main game has to offer, I have only 1 statement for you: Rocks, and there back in your face (oh and maybe we'll add some grass in some places and 1 tree :D)

"...in search of ancient treasure buried somewhere in the waste, a cache that would make even the most stoic of Pandora explorers hunger for its discovery."
- ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Nothing in this game involving loot is actually worth fighting for until you're level 60 and up. I don't know what I was expecting after playing this game's main story and defeating the final boss, but the promise of a cache of ancient alien treasure made me think "hmm, maybe something worthwhile?" Hahaha! What the ♥♥♥♥ was I thinking ehh? I know I know. Long story short, you get swallowed by a giant badass landwurm while mrs. feminazi spews stupidity atop a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ whatever the ♥♥♥♥. Then after getting spat out and completely destroying said landwurm, you get sent to the treasure room said badass wurm was guarding, only to discover the games final credits But wait, theres ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ more. After clicking out of the credits, you discover it was the devs being trolly alolol alolololong. So you climb up the pyramid in the center of the room, but then discover the devs are even more of a troll because they made said pyramid a puzzle to climb. Then once you reach the top, you're greeted by: Some blue weapons. Nice!

"It's rumored to be guarded by the largest, most vicious creature on Pandora..."
-Thats not how this game works game. Everyone knows that an entities level determines how actually strong said creature is. Also everyone knows that if it's supposed to be weaker then you, but the programers want to mess with you, they can randomly just up said enteties stats to make you're life hell. I died more to the Cursed Pirates (a more or less overpowered common enemy) in this game than I did to Mrs. Feminazi and her pet snake.

"...and much more loot!"
correction: and much more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!

"Forge (And Break) New Alliances: Meet Captain Scarlett, you’ll need her help to make your way through Pirate’s Bay. But watch your back, Pirates will do anything for treasure."
- This sounds like a Pirates of the Carribean fanfiction pitch. The only thing I forged is a turd in my ass while playing this game. Let me clear this up for ya: "Cpt. Scarlett (a.k.a: Mrs. Feminazi) is a female version of Handsome Jack, who offers no personality other than witty sarcastic sadist side commentary. She shares a similar personality with every other character outside of sanctuary, only at a level aproximate to Handsome Jack cancer levels. Other than that, I dont remember anything else about her. The only other two characters I remember are Sad Stalker.. uh, whats his name? I forget. Ahh looked it up, its Herbert. Him and Shade, who I only remember because I turned in the final part of the quest to him. That and that mouth, dear god save us. The point is, just like the base game, the characters have literally no notable interactions or anything worthy of endearing you to them. They are soley filler content to remind you that there is some remnance of what might have been a plot if Gearbox actually put effort into designing there characters' personalities.

"...Pirate’s Booty is set to offer more of everything. New side quests, new weapons, new gear are all yours for the taking."
-Correction: By everything they mean exp. I will say, if you care, this DLC does add a rather fast way to level up lvl 1 characters if you have a level 35 or above friend with this. Play true Vault Hunter Mode with this map, and have the lvl 1 drive the Sandskiff over the Sand Wurms and blow them up. Instant exp. Of course, if you shoot at them, it's going to take a lot more time to kill one, seeing as they have crazy Special defense defense towards bullets? Use your pokemon senses, its the same premise :P.

Overall, worse than the original "classic." This game insults old RPG mentality in so many ignored ways, but hey I'll see what the other DLC'S entail.
