SgtSharpshot Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 i loved this dlc probably the best so far from bioware including dragon age. although it wasn't too long it had loads of little quirks and had a great storyline and an amazing looking final boss what do you guys think?

BaldWombat Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 It added a lot to the overall story of the series thusfar and seems to me to be very important for how ME3 will be playing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulgar Rhombus Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 About how long was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a blind beggar Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Around 2-3 hours but there are things at the end like the cerberus network that I suspect will be updated regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripleb2k Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I really enjoyed it! I forgot how annoying this game can be on insanity (mainly the cover system) but that was the only problem I had with it. the rest was great and anyone who played ME1 will enjoy this.

Magicman10893 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 9.5 out of 10 The only drawback was your party not talking at all except for literally 1 sentence. Although it was sweet that the squad mate you take with you are mentioned by the Shadow Broker. I don't think that is really a spoiler for anyone though. The missions were solid, the story was solid, the vehicle mission really broke up the load of regular gameplay, the dialogue was FANTASTIC! Liara mentions all the things you did throughout the game and changes based on how you handled the Collector Base and if you finished the story or not. I played through as a female Shepard that romanced Liara and was in the middle of the game, and then as a male Shepard that finished the game but romanced Ashley first game and cheated with Tali.

Snoop QC Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I just hope the gamerscore goes to 1750 with other DLCs like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tained sainity Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 it's definately the best piece I was a bit disappointed in which when some key points where mentioned in the build up made it sound as if Liara returns to the squad forever instead of just the mission but that was it, the boss fights where definately the best in the entire game especially on hardcore found them harder than some on Insanity and I like the base. I just want to know what decisions in this DLC affect Mass Effect 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickdraw Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 It was a bit shorter than I expected, but the story was fantastic. hm i guess it could have been short, was annoying a some points they had mass mass waves of troops keeping you pinned down for 10mins, story was fantastic, altho i found the assassin to be predicable i knew soon as i sore. liara died really stupidly sometimes, was very annoying >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Really enjoyed it and it was very interesting to see the gaps being filled in between the original Normandy being destroyed and being rebuilt by Cerberus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickdraw Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Think Bioware did all they could to make you know. yeah i know but id like to be surprised once in awhile , i must admit i also did like the extra bit with liara at the end, was a special moment, im also glad there was a x difficulty achievement otherwise id have just ploughed through least then made it a challenge.

Quickdraw Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) How much gameplay do you get out of this?

GSDragon Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The best DLC by far, I loved every minute of it and loved the bonuses as the Shadow Broker base, overall 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Beardie Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 How much gameplay do you get out of this? I haven't decided whether I should get it or not yet. Took me about 3 hours on insanity - some sections are quite tough as the game drops enemies in behind your lines, and the boss fights are also solid. Soon as I finished last night I did Samara's recruitment mission and absolutely breezed through it - still on Insanity - it was really, really simple by comparison.

solus909 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Solid 9.5/10 for me. I found it hugely fun and the difficulty perfectly balanced on Hardcore. Don't let the fairly short length scare you, there's a ton of quality content here and the 2-3 hours for me felt more like 5. Really, really, solid stuff Bioware, keep this up!

Foxhound300 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 2-3 hours of gameplay is not a "good deal" for me for ten bucks. Additionally the ending was stupid and pathetic story telling, not only revealing who the Shadow Broker is (an absolute nobody) but also killing him in what I think is one of the easiest fights in the entire game (seriously the Spectre chick was hard than he was). Only things worthwhile on this are the rewards afterward of the crew files and little movies (also skill resets and automatic mining) but 90% of that can be found online for free. This DLC is a horrible rip off, and if this is truly their "biggest DLC yet" then the others must have all been five minute snooze fests because the length of this is just pathetic.

Junzi Nicuzn Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Short. Silent squad. Rather easy, even on Insanity. Did like the Shadow Broker's actual lair. Retraining your squad's powers a plus. Much improved Liara's character from the first ME. Annoyed me in the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
