Anyone that's got a problem with it can go fuck themselves. If you're not getting angry with this first-day DLC bullshit (and I'm referring specifically to this instance, where they quite clearly extracted a portion of story to dole out separately), and you're in fact supporting it, then you are part of the problem which is corrupting the games industry like a cancer. Perhaps if enough consumers voted with their wallets, and altered sales figures, publishers would realise that it's not the tail that wags the dog. They're doing this because they know they can get away with it, because it's ME3. EDIT: Based on everything I've read about this specific DLC, it sounds like precisely the thing every ME fan would want. I want it, and I didn't even like ME2 that much compared to the first. As Mr Biscuit eloquently pointed out, with ME2 the Cerberus Network was included with all new purchases of the game, so there was incentive to buy it new. This is just money gouging, plain and simple. |

And referring back to the previous post, go fuck yourself Sketcz.

And referring back to the previous post, go fuck yourself Sketcz. Since joining this forum I have found you to be a deeply unpleasant and vitriolic person, prone to lashing out with rage against anyone who doesn't bow to your Mod powers, or follows your line of thought. How you managed to land the position of forum mod, and maintain it all these years, I can't fathom. I can only guess you have dirt on Kurt which forces him to keep you around, because you are intolerable. |

Guys, please?
We're all entitled to our opinions- no need for you to get so antagonistic. Chill.

Honestly the topic of DLC warrants its own thread at this point since it seems to be a hot button issue here, and I'd rather not see a good thread go to hell in a hand basket over a relatively minor issue.

Perhaps if enough consumers voted with their wallets, and altered sales figures, publishers would realise that it's not the tail that wags the dog. I'm proud to be cancer, baby. And shit yeah I'm voting with my wallet...by not buying the DLC. From my experience with ME2's Zaeed, Cerberus, and Kasumi addons, ME2 worked just fine without 'em, and it's merely a nice bonus if you're tired of the out of box content, which is precisely what DLC should be for in the first place. Granted, yeah, they could probably have gotten away with delaying the DLC release by a week or so to let people experience the game without it first. And yeah, Sketcz, I really think you ought to settle down with the rampant hatred. We don't want another Yakuza 3 incident (by the way, I bought that game precisely because you urged everybody not to!). |

It's not too late to make this a separate thread...  I think what makes this different from Yakuza 3 for me, is that we still have an opportunity to have the extra content. With Yakuza 3 tons of content was cut from the localized version, with no opportunity to add it back in, simply because Sega was forcing the developers to get the game out before the fiscal year was over. That seems much more shitty to me than the reasoning behind this DLC. While I refused to buy Yakuza 3, I still plan on purchasing Mass Effect 3. |

Personally I wasn't a fan of having to install Origins and to get the *complete* game at launch you have to also pay a $10 fee well that just makes it easier to wait. Beautiful Katamari did this DLC content on release and people tore into that game hard - sad to see things change so readily.
It's cool that you guys are happy to fork over the money now as that is your prerogative, supply and demand etc. But I am concerned that this sort of precedent leads to even worse shenanigans and personally I draw the line right here. I'd rather not be buying RPGs piecemeal style in a few years if that's where it ends up.
And frankly Onyx, calling everyone who doesn't necessarily agree with you whiny little cunts that can go fuck themselves is pretty damn rude.

Beautiful is different, they left almost half the game as DLC, you even required to buy something to get 100% achievements

I'd rather not be buying RPGs piecemeal style in a few years if that's where it ends up. We're already doing it with fighting games. Regarding this whole debacle, just think: if they hadn't told you what you were missing, would you even be upset? I hate DLC as much as the next guy. (Probably significantly more.) And I respond by simply not purchasing it. Whether I'll buy Mass Effect 3 depends on whether I consider the product on sale at the store to be worth it. If it's a flawed game with huge, noticeable chunks of the plot hacked out, then it's probably not worth my money. If it plays fine without a bunch of addons, then I'll probably buy it (after the price drops of course - I'm not a sucker). |

Yeah, that was weeks of frustration at random 'tards on the video game blogs and Bioware's own forums coming to a boiling point, along with the general entitled attitude of gamers in general lately. That combined with a rather nasty cold. Sorry about that.

I hope there are more weapons that the shown in the demo multiplayers since they are all the weapons from ME2 without a single new one.
That being said, weapons have upgrade levels from I to X and accessories from I to V being able to equip just two. The accessories can be very useful, by example one reduces the spread of shotgun allowing you to focus all the pellets in a smaller area or adding scopes to most guns for more precise shots at a distance. Also the upgrades lower the weight of weapons, I have an avenger X with my vanguard and still have a +200% recharge time.
The bad thing is that the ultimate weapons are too heavy. Equipping a Widow and a shotgun means that you will not use your powers very often but is mostly worth since the gun is able to kill all the enemies in a headshot and everyone without shields with a body shot plus goes through cover and physical shields. Sadly other "ultimate" weapons are just not worth the weight since you can get almost the same damage output with a way lighter weapon since heavy weapons also carry penalties like long recharge times, tiny magazines or step stability.
