BioWare Hints at Big Things in Next Mass Effect 3 DLC
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Not gonna get it. I bought all the DLCs for ME2 because to me, this was the greatest series in the world. I don't even want to touch these games anymore, let alone buy more content for it.
Big with bioware means its a good excuse to charge 20$ instead of 10$ simply because they say its big. Instead of an hour it will be an hour and a half and you will be 20$ poorer and realize no matter what you do the final outcome spits in your face and insults you for your time investment. Hell, for 20$ I bought 3 full price games on the black friday steam sale. Think that hour long dlc can compare to that?
And Nimcha, I've learned my lesson buying hour long dragon age / mass effect 2 content a dozen times from bioware. I've finally had enough, and what you say is bile I say is truth.

Wonder if they will use this dlc as a stepping point to add info for there next new ME game? Nothing major, just adding in characters or mention places or situations that you may be playing in the future.
Seems interesting, but I am probably not going to get it. Besides my time being more limited these days, it feels kind of weird having all these side stories placed in after Shepard died in the end. I know the game places you right before the charge on Cerberus when you start the game back up, but then it seems like "Alright everyone, we've got the military backing us on standby and we're all ready to charge! Team, let's... go find a leviathan and clear up Omega leaving the military here. They can wait"
Basically, I probably won't get the DLC's because of the ending, but not for the whole "It's a terrible ending and they owe me" stuff, I actually don't mind the ending (I kind of like parts of it, more so since the extended cut).

that's a little harsh. what was so bad about the rest of the SP? I liked it! It wasn't perfect, but calling it a horrible wart is a bit strong...GloatingSwine said:
Commander Shepard's money arc may be money, but the Mass Effect 3 DLC train just money on rolling. Money launched last week, detailing the money to retake the money space station from the forces of money, and now it sounds like the next money will be even more money.
"It's all hands on money for this one. Pretty much every ME3 DLC writer here in money is involved. (which would include both cash AND money)," Money designer Money Hendriks wrote on the money forums. "If my math skills are correct, [that means] eight," he added in a later money.
BioWare money producer Caroline Livingstone, meanwhile, revealed on Twitter that Money, the voice of Joker, had returned for another money making session, his first since the game launched. Raphael Sbarge, the voice of money, tweeted all the way back in money that he was back in the studio as well and since no money appeared in Omega, the assumption is that the return was to work on the next money release.
More recently, composer Sam Hulick stated on his own money feed that he's also involved in the money. "What I'm up to lately: working on an unannounced Mass Effect 3 money! More money on this coming money on," he wrote yesterday. "High potential for money."
And speaking of "all money," composer Sascha Dikiciyan clarified earlier today that he and partner Money are working on the money too. "We and Money ard doing a 5050 split. It's more money than the usual dlcs," he wrote.
Neither Money nor EA have moneyed anything at this point but based on money gleaned from previous money money, the next Mass Effect 3 money is money to be money on the money.

Look, this has the same problem that I had with Omega, I don't care how good it might be, the ending still kinda ruins everything for me. Once there is an ending that kinda invalidates all of your previous decisions...everything else just seems kinda pointless.
Wait a minute, you want your choices to matter in a Bioware game? I think you're expecting a bit too much from them, sorry.DustyDrB said:
Yeah, I can't believe that the same guy who worked on KOTOR, Jade Empire, and Mass Effect 1 also led Mass Effect 2&3. It blows my mind.Cid SilverWing said:

The thing is... 1 reaper dreadnaught managed to get inside the Citadel before it locked up in ME1, with only a small Geth fleet... and no controls over the Citadel whatsoever. How would multitudes of them against the same citadel fleet that was steamrolled in ME1 fare any better in ME3, against heavier firepower and world darkening numbers? Sovereign barely even joined that battle and just passed by everything while the Geth Cruisers kept the Citadel Fleet at bay. Again, the thing is a defense is only good when the enemy cannot A-move through your forces like they do not care. And the Reapers could, so delaying them while The Citadel closed became an invalid strategy. Heck, they went through Arcturus Station to get to Earth, while also fighting there. Taking loses just to keep on moving without stopping. When you don't have to worry about the vacuum of space or actually losing stuff for other reasons than "effiency" (or "preservation" if we acknowledge the Starchild)... it still does not make sense not to do that. The Reapers are linebreakers, scary ones at that.The_Darkness said:
Most of the Citadel Space Fleets were in their own regions (like The Alliance had most at Arcturus Station (Alliance Navy HQ), and the rest at Earth), "The Citadel Fleet" was a seperate entity entirely, much smaller, meant to guard, but not be a monolith of a defense.
That's what bugged me, otherwise your points are fairly valid. The whole scary point in ME1 of The Reaper's Warfare, was that they could just go from system to system with their entire nearly endless fleet and harvest, since everything was isolated. Losing nearly nothing with that strategy as worlds could not, regroup, retreat, call for reinforcements, transport supplies. Nothing. That is the dream strategy in any war. Completely paralyzing your enemy in all but their natural brute strenght (the firepower they have per point (or world in this case)). Remember The Reapers are machines, timeless, they care not for how -long- the cycle is. Just how efficient it is. This seems the reversed... sacrifice hundreds of Reaper casualties to achieve the same goal as to instantly capture the Citadel and slowly drain the paralyzed galaxy.
You may be right on the point with the IFF though, they had 6 months, so it is doubtful it would have been mass produced in such a short time and distributed, but plausible. To be honest, I thought ME3 would take that route, the IFF enableling The Normandy to be the sole free vessel on our side able to travel across the galaxy, undoing that initial crippleling blow (how that would be done could have been an interesting diversion, compared "we found mass reaper kill switch").
Ah well, I ramble on... appologies. Just loved ME1, and it feels like it was mostly overlooked or skimmed over, like they had a whole new idea for the direction things were going with the third instalment.
I hope it involves the keeper tunnels.
If it really is a giant expansion, it could be a complete alternate ending allowing Shepard to be there for the illusive mans invasion of the citadel rather than attacking his headquarters.
It could also just be following Kai Lang and the rest of Cerberus into the keeper tunnels after Priority Citadel.

Nah, Sovereign had Saren keeping the arms on the Citadel open until he got in and then closing them after him.Nihlus2 said:
That's why Saren needed the Conduit.
Regarding the DLC, I'm probably just wait until they are all released and on sale before bothering with ME3 again.
Unless it's really, really amazing. But that's not very likely.
