![]() Torgue as a clear reference to "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and the plot twists are narrated with the breathless, feigned surprise you'd hear from WWF announcers. Children of the 80s will instantly recognize Mr. This is all delivered with the sensibilities of a professional wrestling match. Oh, and there still isn’t a level cap increase.Piston will be your sponsor, if he doesn't stab you in the back first There are even a sadly reduced number of side quests, and several of them have you redoing missions you’ve already done, only with the difficulty cranked higher. This smaller landmass also has less new enemy types to interact with. You see, the story isn’t quite as good (though it’s still sufficiently hilarious and entertaining), and there’s a whole lot less new land to explore. Actually, as long as we’ve begun comparing the two sets of Borderlands 2 DLC, let me say this: Torgue’s simply does a whole lot less than Scarlett. However, it won’t take you as long to complete as the previous DLC, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty. You just have to love Moxxi, right?Īll things considered, the story will make you laugh out loud while you’re making bandits’ heads explode with insane weaponry, which is pretty much exactly what we all want from Borderlands content. Let’s just say she’s got an overabundance of fresh innuendos for us to ponder over (she claims they are a defense mechanism). In fact, some of the stuff she says this time around actually manages to be even more over-the-top than anything she’s said before, if you can believe that. And for those of you who like Moxxi, she’s back too. Personally, I’m thrilled to see Tiny Tina return, voiced again by the very talented and somewhat insane Ashly Burch. Enjoy your holidays.Īnd there are some cameos from recurring characters here as well. So all you terrible parents who are thinking about letting your eight-year-old play some Borderlands, just know that your kid is probably going to learn some new words to repeat at family gatherings. Sure, they’re bleeped out, but trust me when I say that very little is left to the imagination. Seriously, this guy doesn’t miss an opportunity to drop almost incoherent strings of four-letter words. He’s your stereotypical pro wrestling persona, and he loves to swear. The central figure, of course, is Mister Torgue himself, who oversees the whole tournament. ![]() ![]() Over the course of the story, we are introduced to some quirky new characters. It’s as crazy, bizarre, and sadistic as anything we’d expect from Borderlands. All the while, you’ll be shooting psycho midgets the face and making things explode. (Actually, that sounds eerily like the plot of No More Heroes, doesn’t it?) But instead of just taking out wave after wave of enemies in a round-based survival gameplay mode, you must follow a series of bizarre quests that have you find a sponsor (well, a couple sponsors), train by eating cookies, and even break into the dome at one point when you get locked out of it. ![]() There is a rankings list, and the only way to move up the list is to murder whoever is above you. Instead, though, Torgue’s focuses its story around a Slaughter Dome very similar to Moxxi’s Underdome where battles to the death are held.
