Mass Effect 3 will be incomplete

[Zhukov]

You realise there's something like three threads on this topic on the first page alone, right?

As for the actual subject...

We don't know what role the DLC character plays. How do you know he is a "vital part of the lore" any more than, say, Kasumi? All the angry guy in your absurdly long video says is, "He's a fucking Prothean!" Because that's all he knows about it.

Personally, I'll be getting it free with the special edition thingy anyway which, thanks to Australia's bizarre pricing, was cheaper for me than buying retail.

Consider the alternative, if s/he's not a vital part of the story it will feel like shoehorned in dlc trying to make a quick buck simply because of the other Protheans' significance to the story. If s/he is a vital part of the story, then those who purchase a standard edition of the game do not get the game in full. Bioware has to choose between milking the fans or screwing them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Meh.

Absolute worst case scenario: they have effectively raised the price of a video game by $10.

Torch and pitchfork material right there, huh?

I agree that it doesn't merit the reaction its gotten (for me at least), I'm just pointing out that it is a legitimate complaint. Personally, I kinda feel like I'm being used here, and while this feeling doesn't elicit an intense response from me, I can see it being an "on" switch for others, who, being upset, are more inclined to post here than those who are content, cue rage filled threads.

Dude, its not vital to the main plot or they wouldn't have not put it on the disk... get over it already

Let me get this straight. Content is being removed for 10 extra dollars and the jury is in: It's okay because it's not vital? HUH!!!?

PLEASE DEFEND THE REMOVAL OF CONTENT NOT HOW INSIGNIFICANT YOU THINK IT IS.
I am sooooooooo tired of you guys mudding up the issue.

I know im feeding the troll, but i feel obligated to point out that the content was finished after the games disks started going into print, therefore it is not removed, but not added on; releasing it as day one DLC is annoying, but its an extra that they were never expected to make, therefore they dont need to have it as part of the main package... i know you don't care, but thats my two cents

Another thread proving how self entitled some gamers are?

Right. I'm off too punch a badger.

Save a badger.
Punch a self entitled twat instead.

It's okay, badgers are reknowned for their ability to take a punch to the face.

Self entitled twats tend to call the police.

Holy Christ, don't you guys have a "Stop them mean redditors from making J. Hepler sad" discussion to participate in?
