Moxxi Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, the first of four major DLC interpretations Borderlands 3, it's an unusual duck in terms of how it made me re-imagine the game's main campaign. While I really enjoyed it Borderlands 3 and believing that this was a constant and progressive endeavor to rob its looter-shooter, advanced villains and chaos always felt like a cheap drag compared to Handsome Jack. This idea was only reinforced by the DLC installation of the previous pseudo-Return douchebag.
The account of Moxi's Heist revolves around the Handsome Jackpot, a floating space casino created by Handsome Jack sometime between his rise to power and violent death in Borderlands 2. Mad Moxxi, the most prolific and ever-presenting frownise writer – the phrase "clown bartender" makes more sense in the context of the word Borderlands Space-plans to plunder space now that Jack has died, so he writes Vault Hunters for Borderlands 3 to assist in his execution. Next up is a madcap and cleverly Las Vegas-themed romp in the spacefaring casino, full of one hit-or-miss comics there Borderlands the series is already known.
Although Handsome Jack has died and a new citizen has taken his place at the top of the casino management, his presence throughout Moxi's Heist he is constant and unwavering. Various audio and video recordings are still spreading his humorous drawings in money and shape, gold statues permeating across the hall and avenue, a hologram-wide prediction of his face hidden throughout that computer. This is a welcome return for someone like me who has spent an awful lot of ungodliness Borderlands 2 as I wait for the third installment, and savor each new wisdom from Handsome Jack in my time Moxi's Heist.
That said, Jacksome Jack's proximity to the action also illuminates how weak it is Borderlands 3 was present in the anti-protest movement. Borderlands it's far better when the villain is a selfish capitalist rather than a pair of live weirdos, making even this brief taste of Handsome Jack enough to obscure any Calypso twin feeling that managed to appear to me during the main campaign. Streaming popularity platforms like Twitch and YouTube have helped in the way that many narcissists put themselves in the zeitgeist, but until PewDiePie or Ninja builds a true religion on that basis, the worst in real life will always be the capitalist need to implement every aspect of our lives. This is it was a customary tradition Borderlands 3 especially place the rear guard, at least until released Moxi's Heist.
Upon arriving at the Handsome Jackpot, the Vault Hunters learn that the local station is now under the casino and the rest of the prison. Jacksome's death has sent the center closed, making it accessible to visitors within the last seven years. Of course, that didn't end gambling under new casino leader Pretty Boy, and people continue to accumulate debt as they hunt for the next big payday, unfortunately with their names attached to the digital "loserboard" announcing to the world how much the house owes. While not hitting the point home as hard as you can, Moxi's Heist an interesting look at parts of Borderlands The atmosphere was actually awful and Handsome Jack's little bullet.
Take, for example, Timothy Lawrence. Previously a playwright Borderlands: Pre-Sequel, The Handsome Jack body doubles back inside Moxi's Heist desperate to escape the Handsome Jackpot, both because the closure on the computer smiles and his resemblance to the most brutal hole the galaxy has ever seen made him vulnerable to the humiliating crowds that asshole broke. Timothy with a normal friendship is often inclined toward forgiveness, the backdrop of the print with Handsome Jack & # 39; s DNA that bothers the character as he tries to distance himself from his past. Towards the end, Timothy is forced to cut his hand – which is inserted into a cybernetic position that allows him to reach various centers around the space station – to split one of the last few pieces of Jacobsome's contribution into his stomach. So much in the nose as I would expect it to be Borderlands franchise but still managed to provide a wide range of thinking between dick comics.
Overall, Moxi's Heist a fun addition to Borderlands 3. Although it doesn't introduce any major gameplay changes, the set pieces, dates, and characters are so good that they make the main campaign look soft by comparison. At first I was reluctant to go back to the game after spending a good amount of time away from it, but I found myself immediately caught off guard by the narrative. Handsome Jack may not be the true antagonist of Moxi's Heist, but hisThe legacy of organizational deceit and capitalist greed leave a lasting mark on the world Borderlands. My only hope is that this is just the beginning of efforts to restore their power to plutocrats who have destroyed their atmosphere and not anything strange that children happen to be doing in the real world.
