It can't be that great. I'm a fan of the series, but it still wasn't good enought to put up with origin, at least not from what I've seen of it (friends who have it on consoles if you're curious).animehermit said:

The worst part of it is that the people at EA/Bioware probably already accounted for this when they made the decision to have day-zero DLC.godofslack said:
There's probably a guy at EA/Bioware whose job it was to calculate whether the profits earned from people buying the day-zero DLC would easily offset the lost sales caused by all the bad press. They calculated that it would, so they went ahead and did it, in spite of the complaints.
When fans criticized them for what seemed to be content cut from the game so it could be sold to them separately, EA/Bioware made up a bunch of bullshit to try to weather the storm. But if they were being honest, they would've just said, "Honestly, we don't care about your feedback, just your money."
4 pages and no one has come to the idea that the files were on there for the multiplayer aspect of the game, including the character files so your customer doesn't have to download content just to see the character in someone else's game might be closer than assuming they are out to steal your money
Also no one has mentioned while your complaining about spending $10 ontop of your $60, Aussies have to she'll out $108 for the basic edition

If you can allow yourself to throw your cash around like nothing, be my guest. Just dont tell me I have to too.
I'd just like to point out that it's not downloadable content if you don't download it.
They should stop calling it downloadable content.

Only dumb or lazy Aussies. Smart or resourceful Aussies either import a copy, or enlist one of the myriad ways to purchase a CD key online, and then download through Origin.racrevel said:
Not that I can complain, I'm one of those lazy ones who walked into a store yesterday and impulse bought a collector's version of the game, when I knew I could save half the price by going to Amazon or g2play.
I could have done that, but I wanted it on release day, usually I live out of the bargain bin..Don said:
Also fuck origin I'm in it for the box and free crap, I'm collecting this shit if I didn't want a physical copy I'd pirate it
I may be clutching at straws here, but isnt the character still in the standard game, and the dlc just allows you to use him in the squad? That would explain why various animations and voice files are already present in the game.Hevva said:
Not that I really care though, my shiny collectors edition will be here soon.
At first that didn't seem too odd. There was a lot of stuff for Katsumi on the ME2 disc but that wasn't some deception.
However if just as much is there as for other characters, pretty much the entire thing it seems, then this is pure bullshit. This isn't like Shale where they cut it only to realise they could put it back in.
I've heard the character is in the game either way, which would change things. But I don't know if that is true or not.

Well, in this case it seems that at least some content is being downloaded...tavelkyosoba said:
However, in general I agree with you - 'on disk DLC' is nothing more than monetising what used to be 'unlockable content'. So now instead of playing 15 hours of the game with your hands behind your back and an angry ferret in your trousers you just hand over $5-15... I kind of miss that sort of unlockable content but I guess that's mostly been replaced with trophies and achievements... Wonder how longer before you can buy those instead of earning them?
But anyway, yeah, 'on disk DLC' should be rebranded as 'Monetised Unlockable Content'(MUC)... or 'Content Regarded as Additional Product' (CRAP)... Something with an acronym that sounds truthful when you say "This game is full of-".
Here's the thing, Bioware: I could've easily waited 3 more months (or more) for Mass Effect 3. Then you could have finished the game up and then released it instead of, you know, this.
$78 for the standard edition on all platforms until Monday at JB HiFi. $109 for PC Collector's Ed and $129 for console...racrevel said:
Not that I'm gonna spend a single cent on anything that comes bundled with Origin.
Oh gee, what a fucking surprise.
Seriously, did ANYONE actually believe BioWare when they said that it was developed after the rest of the game?
But it won't make a difference, because the BioWare fanboys will just shell out the cash. Watch how in 2 years this will become normal.

Im not even surprised at EA/Bioware for this. Im dissapointed and outraged but not surprised.
The really annoying thing that did surprise me? There are still fanboy's coming into these topics to do nothing more than say "This game is awesome, I don't care about any of this which is why I came here to tell you that because you do care, you must be sad and pathetic.".
Really? It didn't even occur to you that people have different opinions and that many don't consider this the best game ever? If Bioware had alway's overpriced the series from the start then it would be fine, but they only started doing this on the end of the series.
I just don't even know what to say about this crap.
Im not sure which is worse, Yeah EA is being terrible but you can expect them to do that and they are after all a company out for profit. But the fanboys(be advised I do not mean all of you who disagree here only the ones who are criticizing those who are outraged by this) just astound me.
I don't even know how to continue about this topic. Im just going to cut off my post here before I start ranting because if I continue then I know im going to rant.
