Mass Effect 3 Catch-All

Did you ever help stop invaders from another dimension from taking over earth?

No? That's why then.

That's one of my criticisms of the logic underlying Mass Effect's story (and the same can be said of 100 other games). When I'm looking at that awesome gun that costs 1/2 of game's entire economy, I imagine FemShep leaning on the counter and saying, very slowly, "I am trying to preserve all sentient life in the galaxy. You really should just let me have the sniper rifle."

I wasn't talking about ME.

Just finished the main storyline for the DLC.

This is my absolute favorite of all the trilogy's DLC. It's really a tribute to the entire series.

98%.....

EDIT: 100%!!!!!

How long would you say it is? Say, compared to...hmmm...Shadow Broker, or Omega?

Whatever the answer is, I'm gonna be playing this...sorry to those I told I'd be online for MP Plat!

I'm sure wondering.

Since no DLC before these was more than 560/800 points, and now the last two are both 1200. Very frustrating when I had enough points saved for a regular DLC, but now they all cost 50% more than they used to.

It's decent length. I started playing around 5:00, took about an hour break to do some work and eat dinner, and just finished it at 11:00.

I cannot stress how good this DLC was. The combat is against a whole new faction, the story is fairly interesting, and there is a pretty massive amount of content here. After you finish the main DLC, there's an entire arena setup where you can invite characters from ME2(if they survived) to fight with you.

And it fixes the biggest problem with ME3: No Krogan squadmate to headbutt things until they fall apart.

Posting this because it's easy to miss, and you REALLY don't want to. I'll leave it as vague as possible:

After the party(but BEFORE you go back to the Normandy), go back into Shepard's bedroom. There will be a datapad on the floor by the bed. Listen to the entirety of it.

I'm really tempted to grab all the DLC and go through one last time. Really, really tempted.

I'm going to play the new stuff and then I will probably start a new game in ME1 and play the whole series again. Wonder if there is a Mass Effect Anonymous or something.

The last few months I've honestly felt my interest level falling sharply for any game that isn't Mass Effect.

You seem to be in the multiplayer a lot :).

I must pop in and see how it's going one of these days.

Haven't reached that part yet, but close. Let's say I've finished with the....main storyline, and am free to roam, perse. But I also have another one that might be easy to miss, and again, you REALLY don't want to. I don't know how vague I can be, I'm not sure if this is one of those things that wouldn't be here if certain decisions and/or actions in previous games were made. So I'll just say, buy the hamster in ME2, and make sure you find it at the beginning of ME3.

Spoiler:

"Even Conrad Verner was a better Commander Shepard than you´ll ever be!"

Laughed at that bit.

Best DLC to date in my opinion - The story is COMPLETE nonsense in the best way possible and Shepard gets some cracking one-liners :D. Some of the comedy timing is first rate as well.

Spoiler:

The toothbrush...

I lost track of the number of times I literally laughed out loud playing through this.

Spoiler:

Sheperds renegade responses to when they get trapped in the archive, for example...brilliant

THIS is what the tone of a new Mass Effect game should be. Ditch the grimdark universe-ending threats, just a crew of wise-cracking misfits engaging in SPACE ADVENTURE!

nel e nel wins!

Reading about this makes me want to pick up my last playthrough, but unfortunately I don't have the funds to pick up the DLCs for ME3 yet. Maybe this summer. I'm happy, though, cause I thought my disappointment in the ending had killed what had become a yearly tradition of playing through all the ME games.

It's a shame that they don't discount the DLC. If you want Leviathan, Omega and the new Citadel DLC, it's 3200 bioware points. That's $40 right there.

$40! You can buy the game for around $10 on sale. Why do they make DLC so friggin' expensive?

Yeah the standard price for ME3 full game is now $19.99. Origin, Amazon, Target, wherever.

So to charge double that for the DLC is laughable.

That means if you waited until now you'll get the actual full game, and a really good game at that, for $60. Sounds about right. EA's DLC strategy turned half the fans against Bioware and almost destroyed Mass Effect, but in the end, half a year later, you can finally play a really good version of the game for full price.

inorite?

Man, another 40 bucks for DLC. Yikes. Hope for a sale or something in the next couple months or so.

I don't mind the price. $15 here and there isn't that big of a deal. I have said it before but there are certain games that I would buy DLC for from now to the end of time if they wanted to keep making it and ME/ME2/ME3 are all on that list.

I really enjoyed this DLC. It made me realize my love for this series is really all about the characters in it. It was bitter sweet at the end knowing this was probably the last time I'd see them in a game.

A different take on capturing the MP-related conversations

(No, that doesn't mean it's dramatically different. They're one at a time instead of intercut, and there is no Shepard in frame, that's all.)
