Oh man, oh man, sound's like that Shepard boy's got himself into a whole mess of trouble, and if he doesn't stop the Reapers in this mission, then the entire earth's gonna be wiped out. Does that mean that if I don't buy this DLC, then ME3 is just gonna be one long funeral?
This is just stupid. They already wasted the Shadowbroker's potential for a quick buck and now they're adding in a mission that pretty much supersedes the ENTIRE PLOT of ME2? Christ, EA, give it a rest, why don't ya?
Incidentally, I still hate EA with every fiber of my being for the convoluted Cerberus Network, which still refuses to work for me.

It makes sense.poiumty said:
The Citadel was their Plan A, Shepard screwed that up so now they just follow Plan B.
Instead of teleporting instantaneously into the galaxy, they go on foot if you will, travelling at FTL speeds toward the galaxy. And as soon as they've reached one Relay they can just jump to wherever, just as anyone else. This takes them longer but ultimately gets the job done.
Harbinger even calls Shepard an annoyance in the DLC, because that's all he is so far. And even now with
that relay destroyed
as professor what's her face tells you in the DLC
So, I wouldn't say the other 2 games were pointless.

the idea is stupid, if the reapers actualy get in galaxy then we should just be fucked, that should be bad ending since they know how our tech works and how our transportation works and they can just shut down most of it but now, Ill bet money that when me3 comes out we will find a stupid magical I WIN button that destroys them all
It's boring. The Mass Effect games are great, (especially the first one) but damn, they are bad with DLC. With the exception of Lair of the Shadow Broker, all DLC in the series has been poor, and Arrival is no different. Just an hour of shooting and flipping switches.

I've never understood these kinds of people. If you don't want to play the game don't play it. I for one find Call of Duty games to be the largest stains on the history of gaming since Leisure Suit Larry, and that anyone who honestly dares to consider their storylines to be anything beyond "cliched" and their gameplay beyond "luck-based an unbalanced" to be of a mindset not trustworthy in modern society. Do I go on every thread about them so I can mock and insult the games at every opportunity? Fuck no! That is what we call "having your head up your ass."Zukhramm said:
I'll buy and try this for myself this weekend. Avoiding the spoilers shall be a *****.
Also, if the ending of this DLC ends up pointlessly murdering crew members, somebody let me know now.
I'm guessing since none of the other countless species were not able to stop the cycle of complete annihilation by The Reapers, it won't be that easy for us lolpoiumty said:
If somebody gave you a lump of gold, some of you guys would ***** about how heavy it was. This is good DLC. It does what it's expected to do. It continues the overarching story, and is a great segue into Mass Effect 3. A 2 hour DLC cannot have the same scope for choices and whatnot as a 40 hour game. It is designed to act as a bridge, and it's a great bridge.
To the people arguing plot points: Yes, the Reapers are coming. Shepard is delaying them. Again. He's done so in ME1, ME2.
It's no maguffin. It's a fairly major event (I'd actually thought about the DLC so much I'd guessed what would have to happen) and the consequences of it look like they will have some serious results for Shepard. I honestly don't see what people are bitching about. As DLC I'd probably give it an 8/10 compared to LoTSB's 9/10.
P.S. Seriously, can we PLEASE stick to English words for the flipping Captchas? This is getting ridiculous.

Well I don't quite understand people who bring up the whole, "If you don't like it, just ignore it" argument to counteract criticism. So what if you don't play it? It's still there, and if it's got stupid advertising, or it messes up a game series you like, or it's just plain bad, what's wrong with someone using a couple minutes of their leisure time to spread their opinion? That's what forums like this are there for anyways. Besides, if you can't defend it well enough, it might not be that good. Not to mention that internet trolling seems to have already become a time-honored tradition in today's society.CJ1145 said:
Either way, all this "putting important plot points in DLC" nonsense is all part of the problem that EA is crippling the entertainment value of its individual games in some misguided attempt to make a quick buck. And that's no good.
