Borderlands 2, DLC first look review.

So yesterday I finally got around to getting that DLC. I played through the first little bit myself then went on joining random games, swapping between my Assassin or my Mechromancer every once in a while and so far I have to say it's got some pretty good content, but there's a lot to take in. So for this review I'm going to explain 3 of the major highlights of the Dee Ell Seh.

Seraph Crystals

Well, first off we should touch down on Seraph Crystals. This is some kind of new currency Gearbox wants to have players rely on for powerful Seraph weapons, and trades. The crystals only drop from bosses, and they drop a random amount each time. You then take the crystals to the town of Oasis and trade them into some sketchy looking, non-animated, retextured version of Crazy Earl for weapons that aren't Blue, or Green... Or Purple OR ORANGE. But Pink. Yeah, you can tell a Seraph weapon apart from others because it's nametext is Pink. I thought it was some kind of health gun.. or something at first because the colours of the gun and health tubes are almost the same. Now since you can only get crystals from bosses, let's talk about them. SHALL WE!?

Raid Bosses

Awesomely, the DLC features TWO Raid Bosses, which are boss characters that, like Terramorphous, are apparently very hard to kill. Well, I haven't killed either one yet, but I've been in the fight with Master Gee and it's actually pretty tough from what I've seen. And this is coming from someone who farms Terramorphous like it's playthrough 1.

Master Gee the Invincible- This is the fight that I was in. Essentially, you've got this mummy, ninja thing who sits in the middle of this big arena. You enter the arena with your buddies, organize, plan etc etc. Then someone goes up and melees him. After that, worms start POPPIN' OUTTA THE GROUND, MAN. And you have to shoot them, creating a puddle of acid. Lure Gee into the acid, he loses health/shield. Repeat. Oh yeah and you're steadily losing health and shield while this is going on too.

Hyperius the Invincible- So basically, for this guy you've got a pumped up Hyperion engineer who every so often creates explosions to kill you, while he is shielded from all elemental damage from four loaders, who also fire rockets and have shields. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like an annoying fight. Both these Raid Bosses drop Seraph Crystals, along with the final boss for the DLC and maybe a couple other random ones, not sure.

Anyway, so far so good with Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty. If you like powerful guns and enemies, by all means this DLC should help you out.
