Great, I was playing through the whole trilogy and finished ME2 recently and was just waiting for the last DLC for ME3 to be released. I'm glad I only have to wait 2 weeks.
The DLC doesn't sound that interesting though. But might be fun enough to see your squad mates again.

I dunno how I feel about this. I spent a good 90 hours on the trilogy over the holidays, but I'm kinda done with Shepard. I still had a good time, even the ending didn't bother me. $9 would be a sweeter price for this DLC.

How long is it suppose to be?

I held out on Omega thinking that I'd pick it up alongside this new one. Then I realized it would cost me $30 altogether. Maaaaan.

Question. I thought the story in ME3 was a race to get help to save Earth. At least that's what I gathered from the demo. Does it make sense for Shepard and crew to be stopping to have all these other adventures? Is there no urgency in what they have to be doing in the main game?

I'm looking forward to finally playing the complete product. This is how the game should have shipped. Instead what we got was half baked.

I think I'll read EatChildren's impressions before I even think twice about checking it out. It sounds more like fan service than anything else. I passed on the last DLC after hearing tons of negative impressions on it and I'll probably pass on this one as well until it's on sale. 4 GB is freakin' huge though, so it sounds like there's going to be a substantial amount of content in this one.

I haven't touched the MP in ages but it's nice to see that it's still getting supported. I'll probably download the maps, but won't touch the game itself any time soon because I don't feel like playing it. It's amazing how many MP characters/classes there are these days though.

Probably 3GB of new companion bangin' videos. At least one per character.

As someone who is on my first playthrough of ME3, I have been playing all of them in a row on PS3, I will be sure not to finish the single player before this.

Only must have DLC's are Leviathan and From Ashes.

Still boggles my mind why they made people pay for this. They are kinda mandatory. I can't even imagine playing the game first time without these two DLC's. The new squad member in From Ashes alone is reason why it should have been free. Leviathan had some really cool lore and story for the reapers.

But I really blame EA.

I would love a ME 2 suicide run mission in ME3 with everyone from all 3 games. Let me direct everyone into a role, send me chatter on their progress throughout the mission, and have it end with everyone providing support during the boss fight.

Yes that's correct but it's more like there's a lead that might be worth checking out or something that could potentially be helpful so it makes sense to sidetrack. At least with Leviathan that was the case (I haven't played Omega yet)
Hanging out in a casino and decorating your living quarters probably not so much ^^

But I was pretty satisfied with Liara.
Dat Epic Kiss before going off to meet Marauder Shields.
Liara as the love interest was fantastic. I forgot that cut scenes take up a significant amount of memory real estate. I suppose this will give my single Female Shepard a chance to get laid. I'm staying faithful to Liara with my male Shepard.

This couldn't sound any less appealing to me if it tried. I loved ME3 and Leviathan but this just sounds....forced.

I'm a sucker, and I will buy this, and I will hate myself.

In fact, I put my series replay on hold until this came out, so I guess I should get around to finishing ME2 once again.

The Citadel DLC sounds great! I've been waiting for this announcement for a long time. I'm excited for this! I'm getting this for my birthday.

That SP DLC sounds fan-pandering as hell.

But, I'm sure I'll buy it along with all the other SP DLC one day when I finally decide to do another playthrough.

As for the new MP DLC, about what you'd expect, and while I doubt I'll play enough to actually unlock all the new stuff, it'll still be interesting to check out if only during the weekend operations.

I need to play me3 again. Still haven't seen the directors cut or any of the dlc. Hopefully they'll do a sale like they did with me2. That's when I grabbed everything.

Citadel DLC sounds great, second best thing announced today! (Followed only by the Zelda Oracle of Season/Ages future eShop release, those are the only VC games I was looking forward to)

Getting it Day 1.

I totally, 100% agree with you about From Ashes. That should have been in the game, as it adds so much to the story and while I've never played it without the DLC, I would imagine it would lose a lot.

While Leviathan is awesome, and adds a lot, I'm perfectly fine with it being DLC, and it reminds me a lot of great ME 1 and 2 DLC so I think it wasn't offensive that it was separate.

Now the entire thing can fit in the PS4's RAM alone (perhaps twice over) XD. Given the 176GB/sec bandwidth, one can go through the DLC in 0.0227 sec.

My favorite DLC is stuff like this and Skyrim: Hearthfire. Let me explore and have more fun in the world instead of just a random isolated quest line.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
4GB DLC content ?

holy shit ..

I have to say Bioware have most definitely turned the negativity around the original ME3 release and ending around with all this sweet sweet content.

How likely is it that we'll get a GOTY edition with all the DLC included? I still haven't played ME3 yet.
