There were some interesting tweaks to the enemies, too. Other touches include new quips from the New-U stations upon respawn, our favourite that we heard being “perhaps there’s a healer somewhere looking for a group”.
This new world is both instantly recognisable and remarkably fresh. The quest begins with our group gathering around the board game Bunkers and Badasses as Tina gleefully chains massive slabs of rocks to our legs and pushes us into the deep end of her dementia. Tina agrees, and renames it to The Forest of Being Eaten Alive By Trees.
The environment is peaceful and soothing, trees swaying gently as fireflies dance in the hazy glow of a dreamlike sunset. For example, upon entering a wooded area, Tina describes it as The Forest of Tranquilly. She is God here, and what she imagines is exactly what happens. Her erratic moods and fickle attention cause the environment around our characters to morph and shift entirely at her whim. In the context of Borderlands 2‘s humour, however, Tiny Tina is exactly what we need. What you very probably wouldn’t describe is a psychotically unstable 13-year-old explosives expert with a knack for losing her train of thought every few seconds as it derails and tosses its hapless passengers around like terrified, screaming beans in the maraca of a hyperactive lunatic. When you think of the perfect person to be your role-playing gamesmaster, you’d probably describe them using words such as ‘patient’, ‘intelligently creative’, ‘knowledgeable’ and all those lovely adjectives that help picture someone who’d very likely make your role playing adventure just the right dosage of adventurous. Many are saying this is the best DLC that BL2 has to offer, which kinda makes me sad since so far this is the only one I have played, so I guess it is downhill from here.In which we enter the mind of a crazy person and shoot make-believe things with lots and lots and lots of guns. Not to mention there are some ungodly repetitive sections where you have to mow down wave after wave of generic knights and sorcerers and this becomes so tedious that it loses any appeal. I do love the music here and some of the visual aspects, but the gameplay itself is no different than anything else up to this point.
BORDERLANDS 2 TINY TINA SKIN
It is basically just a skin change of the original game and that's it. There is clearly no attempt here to change the experience in any meaningful way. Another fight is with a dragon that constantly has minions spawning while the dragon pelts you with fire. Each one operates exactly the same with no change in their tactics or behavior. One of them is fighting 4 of the same undead giants back to back to back to back. The humor here, much like the rest of the game, is very hit and miss. You get all the typical tabletop jokes and the characters of course spout out their one liners and Tiny Tina herself continues to be just as annoying as ever. The same dull mechanics are used over and over again, like enemies leveling up, only this time some of them level up to insane levels for no reason! The enemies here are the typical generic tabletop RPG fare, in fact this whole thing is pretty bog-standard for the concept. The same dull mechanics are used over and over again, This DLC is the epitome of all that is flawed with the overall design of Borderlands 2.
