If this DLC is only to fill them in on the backstory of the first Mass Effect, I doubt there's any reason for fanboys to be smug since they get a cut down version of great game.
Rumor: PS3 Version of Mass Effect 2 Includes DLC, New Mission [UPDATED]
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Because they've waited a year or so for only one half of an already established franchise, and it would work as a form of compensation for waiting?deonte9109 said:
Oh c'mon, are we still going through that? Let's put this in perspective;this isnt my name said:
Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas DLC.
Call of Duty 4, MW2, and Black Ops DLC.
Grand Theft Auto 4 DLC.
All of these games got exclusive DLC for the 360, later coming out some time later for the PS3/PC, yet you don't hear complaining of that from the latter's owners.
You payed for Mass Effect 2 on the 360 so you could play it right then and there. Nobody would expect the second game in the trilogy to come to another platform, after a whole year or so of waiting. You payed for Mass Effect 2 on the 360 for convenience, and PS3 owners have got jack-shit and don't even get the first game to get the proper story and save-carrying-over of the games.
This is not "special treatment" or some bullshit "backstabbing" on Bioware's behalf. It's compensation for waiting this long for half the games available out for the Mass Effect franchise.
*sigh* If the PS3 gets an exclusive 6-hour mission, then, as a huge ME fan, I'll have to get that version too. I hope it'll find its way onto the 360 in a short timespan. But that interactive comic sound pretty cool, especially if it's a way to make ME1 decisions.
*flame shield* If Sony had either did their work before hand or presented itself as a viable system when BW made ME1 then we wouldnt be in this situation. And besides thats still unfair why should those who came after the fame glory and attention get it cheaper. If anything the price should go uptwistedheat15 said:
For the exact reason you said, it came "AFTER THE FAME, GLORY, AND ATTENTION" When something is popular it's high priced, when ppl stop caring about it the price drops. It's like getting a wii when it first came out and was like searching for a unicorn in game stores. No matter where you went for months you couldn't find it. Now talking about a wii just brings lulz as everything including the stray cat grandma takes care of has one. Weather Sony shoulda presented itself better in the first place, MS just bought time exclusive rights doesn't matter because they're getting the game a year after the others. Even if they get something extra, I'm sure most woulda glady given it up to have gotten a same time release. And the extra stuff could be nothing more then an advance intro mission since they're still getting fcked over by not getting ME1. It's just pointless bitching for the sake of pointlessly bitching.deonte9109 said:
Happiness. That's what I'm feeling like now. Warm chocolate happiness. This is great news, I have never owned any Microsoft console so I've missed out on all of this, and am reveling at the chance to be able to get a piece of this and now I hear we're getting compensation for our heart ache? I'm not interested in if it's an exclusive or not, I'm just happy to be getting it! Can't wait to get my hands on this!
Wow. Really? We're going to call Microsoft douchebags because they won't let Sony have a game they published on the PS3? I mean, damn, how can Microsoft be so greedy when Sony and Nintendo love to share? I mean, right now I'm playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 on my PS3, and then I was going to go play some Uncharted on my Wii.
[HEADING=1]Oh wait.[/HEADING]
Microsoft isn't being a douchebag, they're just doing what every other console maker does: not sharing the games they have publishing rights to with the competition. The real douchebags are people who think Microsoft is doing something outrageous by not handing out free copies of Mass Effect to PS3 owners. Maybe they should share some Gears of War and Halo while they're at it.

My guess regarding the comic is that it is probably a motion comic version of Mass Effect: Redemption that was published by Dark Horse. As I understand it is basically the story of how Cerberus got Shephards body from the Shadow Broker, but I havn't read it yet because I havn't had a chance to get ahold of one of the collections in either paperback or hardcover.
Thanks for that bit of information. I thought they'd pretty much solidified the story to ME3 by the time ME2 was released but I guess that was not the case.mad825 said:
I don't think you'll ever get the same connection to the Mass Effect one characters if you don't play through the game. I mean when you see Garrus it's like "OMG It's Garrus, Bad ass! My alien home boy! Remember when we took down Saren, Bro?" fighting side by side, wading through dialogue trees and loyalty quests. An interactive comic will be hard pressed to make you feel as strongly about characters you'll be meeting for the first time and for that I feel kind of sad for the folks who'll be starting this journey on playstation. But the combat in Number one was kind of tedious so they have that going for them. Now if I get this DLC and a patch for Ish I'll be golden.
A six hour mission? Crap, I think they may have just sold me on this. Better be a REAL mission though, where my teammates talk to me. Also, I like the idea of having an interactive comic to let players choose the story points from Mass Effect. That will solve a lot of problems I would otherwise have with the game, seeing as I do Paragon and for some reason BioWare likes to think Renegade is the default version with no import.
It is standard practice in the gaming industry for ports/remakes to be spiced up with extra content in order to entice gamers to purchase it. This is particularly important nowadays, since multiple-platform ownership is common among core gamers. As such, BioWare must give people every reason they can to purchase the PS3 version.Hardcore_gamer said:
