"You fool! Those are the Hanar! Now run before Blasto comes around and respectfully avenges his kin!"
Next Mass Effect DLC: <color=maroon>Blasto vs Commander Shepard!
The most awesome DLC evarrr!
Then using that logic Diablo 3 has not been announced as it also hasn?t been given a release date nor has dead island.Andy Chalk said:
Considering that the now shut down Cerberus network states that it will only be updated for the next DLC before ME3, I take that as a confirmation. I don?t need to know plot details for it to be counted as an announcement. as I stated before this only confirmed the DLC name and trophy.Cerberus Daily News for Jan. 2 said:
That's how i understood it too, but, honestly, things change. I didn't expect the new outfit pack, and i tend to count them as DLC too...So by the announcments logic, we'er done? Either way, with less then a year before ME3, and a DLC named "Arrival" seems to me to be the perfect cliffhanger for the start of ME3.. I'd assume it's the last DLC before ME3 goes live... But you never know. They'll prolly have another outfit pack, and maybe a weapons pack before then. (and hopefully they'll release Genesis for the PC/360.)karloss01 said:
Like a post before me said, I hope this is more a forshadowing Arrival, then a reapers are attack EARTH kind of thing. Maybe have the mission let Shepard know, without a doubt, they'll be here SOON, and maybe see some repear lights start appearing off in the distince of a DEEP space watchstation.. kind of a "what they heck is that??" kind of moment before the game ENDS. And it's HAVE to be the last thing you do, I don't know how you'd code that, but it'd have to be the end... lol.
No, by that logic the action-RPG which Blizzard will develop and release at some point in the indeterminate future - say, Diablo 4, maybe - hasn't been announced.karloss01 said:
Which it hasn't.
I understand that most games have achievements/trophies for upcoming DLC already added to the list, but kept hidden. What I'm asking is how common is it for those trophies to be displayed despite never downloading/buying the DLC (as in your Burnout Paradise example) on the PS3. I also own a 360 and achievements tied to DLC only appears once a person has added that DLC to his or her account. Sorry for any confusion.urahara75 said:all[/b] games from large game publishers get DLCs (in some form or another) that add to total gameplay hours these days. It's also a fact that DLCs are major auxiliary revenue generators for these publishers, so most push the developers to work on additional content shortly after, or in increasingly occassional cases, during the primary development stages of the game. It would make sense, from a development purspective, to throw anticipated trophy achievement lists into the game code at release or via patch shortly after, whether a consumer buys the DLC(s) or not.
Does it (sometimes) suck? Yeppers, especially if you lost interest or no longer have said game. Is it "the way things work" in contemporary game development? You can bet ur ass it is. :s
P.S. - An instance that really bit me in the 'nards was the Burnout Paradise deal. Certain late-game challenges that need to be completed for game "completion" are next to impossible to do with the (non-DLC bought) cars you unlock thru normal playthrough. On top of that, a good deal (I'd honestly say approx. 20%) of game achievements require you to do tasks with a certain type of DLC-obtained car. Breakin' my balls, EA... breakin' my friggin' balls...
What he said. Tasty, tasty news. Just let me play it now.soren7550 said:
Yes I'm doing my part as a good consumer, but when it comes to Mass Effect 2, I am happy to comply.
