Borderlands 4 DLC Faces Backlash Over Price & Short Content
MP1st • • technology
Key Points:
- Borderlands 4's launch faced criticism due to performance issues and the delay of the Nintendo Switch 2 version, with recent focus shifting to dissatisfaction over its DLC content.
- The first story DLC, "Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned," released with a major update, introduces new characters, enemies, weapons, and areas, but players argue the content is insufficient for its $29.99 price.
- Users report the DLC can be completed in about two and a half hours and contains only one memorable mission, leading to frustration over its high cost relative to the amount of content offered.
- Fans who purchased the $130 Super Deluxe Edition expressed anger that the new DLC is not included, effectively raising their total spending to around $170 for the game and additional content.
- Some defenders note that previous Borderlands titles sold story DLC and new Vault Hunters separately, which may justify the pricing strategy, while the base game received a positive review score of 8.5/10 for its engaging gameplay and story.
