Looks like 5+ (depending of times played) hours worth of fun here, new enemies, some adapted existing ones (like a zombie psycho) and a decent storyline

Looks good :) Shame there is apparently no level cap increase, I'd like up to 60 say if I do playthrough 2 completely

One of the missions (which you get an achievement for on consoles) is one HELL of a grind, only done the first 3 stages, 2 left and they get exponentially longer :(

Easier to leave them as a side thing (like the pandora challenges) and turn in when you reach them though

Shame :(, although i hope it doesn't contribute to the majority of the new content?

+ Disappointed there's still been no news on the DLC front for the PC...

It is and it isn't a shame

It's a shame the first time I did the DLC (on playthrough 1) as I found out at the end and wasn't bothered about doing it
2nd play through I made a point of doing it as I went, it meant I finished the final part of it as I finished the story (and some side quests) so it wasn't such a grind

The DLC lasted a good 5 hours to do everything, not at a fast pace though, I am up to 60 hours now, level 50, half way through play through 2 and DLC finished twice, once on each setting

Is Borderlands worth getting? It looked fun from the trailer.

New DLC is designed for a team of people to play it, I ALMOST managed the first leg on my own, but 25 rounds to complete in a row without dying makes it a challenge, multiplayer should be better for it

the first bit is the "short one" too lol
