i think we can all agree that those mw2 maps for 15 dollars is a little steep eh? but this kasumi dlc not 

Ha.  Ah yes, "consensus." We have dismissed that claim.

Although, I don't think it's overpriced either.  The game was good enough that I don't mind throwing something extra back at the developers.

Too true.  But I was only referring to Bioware.  MW2 was good fun, but I played it until I was sick of it and don't see myself going back.  Activison's attitude is way worse than EA these days.

Anyone who's played a few of the Guitar Hero games knows how big Activision are on squeezing every penny.

EDIT: Crap, double post... how do you delete a post?

I will probably buy it. I honestly do not think $7 is all that expensive for an add on, and no, I am not in anyway rich, believe me. To me, Mass Effect 2s replay value is high, and Kasumi seems interesting to me, so I will get my moneys worth from it. Me and my husband budget away a bit of money from each of our paychecks, just little bits at a time like maybe $10 here or $15 there. We save it up for special fun/leisurely things like our games, or a night at the movies, or night out to dinner, etc. A DLC that costs $7 one time and can give me an hour of additional gameplay through multiple playthroughs is worth it to me. A movie night is $9 per person, and gives us 2 hours of entertainment once.

Normally I wait for reviews; but I'm going to take this one on faith and throw down the cash for Kasumi when it comes out later today. Bioware, generally doesn't disappoint and when they do they try to keep it quiet by releasing it without an announced date (Pinnacle Station for example) rather than hyping it up beforehand as they have done with Kasumi.



Of course, if I end up getting the shaft on this one then I'll wait for reviews next time.

[Decho the Dolphin]

I will definitely be buying it. I will buy any Mass Effect content that is released, no exceptions.

[Mister Mida]

I'm gonna buy it as soon as it is released, which probably within 4,5 to 7,5 hours, and it better be good

Hell yes! If it is as good as the rainbow-firing scarabs in Halo Wars I would most certainly pay for that. 'twas awesome.

[Michael177]

I'm gonna buy it for sure =p, I Love SMGs so Locust SMG here i come weee...



I'm not a fan of DLCs, simply cause of Australian download limits, and the bioware points cards apparently hates my credit card, but... I'm gonna buy it =p... The appearance pack = no go for me tbh, but kasumi = yes...





And yes the MW2 Pack is a joke, honestly, MW2 is the reason why I hate activision now.

No No...



Rainbow Brite. :lol:

[Embrosil]

No I do not plan to buy. I would not install it even for free. I see no reason to play the SAME missions again. There are too many characters already, most of them havin the same abilitites and most of them I have never used. So no, untill they fill the empty space with more interesting missions, I do not plan to get any DLC.

ive bought all dlc for this game but kasumi not showing up yet any ideas what time it will appear

One quick question: Does your mind ring a bell at the word "planning"?
When you go to develop something you have a plan with the ideas you want to bring in your product, and without the DLCs, with the practical timeline, some ideas have to be cut out (that's the way games have been developed in the last decades).
With the option to post develop and release THAT additional content which was excluded from the retail plan of the game, you have to start preparing the ground for that conted to be included and work perfectly within the retail game, and there you go the reason for the "infamous placeholders", and if you want to include them in the main storyline as crewmates, you have to leave some "space" for them too (specifically talking about the Normandy) so you can easily fit them later on... would you have better liked to have them standing like statues?

Wether you like it or not, before DLCs were a real deal for game, you wouldn't even probably know about those "additional stuff" and without DLCs we wouldn't have right now Zaeed, Normandy Crash Site, the Firewalker Pack and Kasumi, since they were ALL developed AFTER the gold date for ME2, which is approximately around the 20th of December 2009 (data gathered from the ME2 disc for Xbox 360).

So tell me now, considering the facts stated above, WHY are you complaining? Since so far they gave us a lot for free (I didn't included the weapons in the DLC list) I am glad to pay to my favourite developer a small sum (not even 5€) for some additional content, becouse since Baldur's Gate they've earned my trust and so far they've never lost it.
Ofcourse if they'll do something that won't be worth the value, I won't buy it, but till now they're doing great

The "facts" above, huh?

They gave us alot of uselss **** for free. But that isn't the point. The only DLC worthhile is Zaeed who should be and was free because no matter what you say he was originally supposed to be in the game anyway. Some of the very first concept art was of Zaeed (developed after the game was completed my ass). Now if they actually make  vehicle based DLC missions (actual missions) that were in fact NEVER supposed to be part of the original retail game then payment is to be expected. It's not about the money. It's the the principle of the matter. It's like rushing a game out with only 6 squad mates and then charging 15% of the retail cost for what is at best 3% (for speedy types) of the total game time for each additional member. We clearly have different standards. This whole conversation is irrelevant. I don't require that you agree with me.

Did you actually read and understood what I wrote? Or I was talking to a wall? While I don't agree with your point of view, but I can understand it, you on the other hand don't want to understand how it works on the development side, calling it just "bullpoop* or different standards.
If this game was Baldur's Gate II and having a timeline some of the wanted content, which existance was made to the public, didn't made it to the game becouse of a timeline and becouse the game had to respect a high standard and should not suffer for more content but rushed (quite the opposite of what you've said), you would complain blaming them becouse that content HAD to be in the game and the game was rushed?
Now I'm pretty sure that there were a few things in BG2 that didn't made it to the retail game, and the DLCs works exactly for that, post develop something that you as a developer wanted to include but that was discarded in the planning stage for the timeline of the retail game.

I don't know how to explain that concept further, this is my last attempt, if you don't want to understand it, well, it's your loss in time and anger about that

Between now and 4-5 hours

[Kaiser Shepard]

She already is on Xbox Live, not yet appearing on Marketplace, though.

[Kaiser Shepard]

To prove it is, here is how it shows up:



Mass Effect 2:

Kasumi - Stolen Memory

Released: 06/04/2010



File Size: 765 MB



Cerberus has procured the service of Kasumi Goto, the galaxy’s most enigmatic master thief. In return for her help, Kasumi has asked Shepard’s help on a dangerous heist to infiltrate the vault of a deadly master criminal named Donovan Hock. Gain Kasumi’s loyalty on the planet Bekenstein, where Hock is throwing a party for the galaxy’s richest and most deranged criminal minds to recover data of great importance to Kasumi... and to the galaxy at large. New squad member, weapon, research, and achievement. There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts.

[Icinix]

Donovan hey? hmmm <strokes chin>

Bekenstein eh....



Intriguing.

[Kaiser Shepard]

I think those names were already known, but you're welcome anyway.



I don't know what's keeping them from making it available: it is up on both the Dutch and Canadian Marketplace, all they have to do is upload it to put it on the US one as well and give it a price (it's currently listed as free).

[Icinix]

Server readying.
Willing to bet it will cause some slight congestion, nothing serious, but they want to make sure it all goes smooth. Since this is the first premium pay for DLC I can imagine they want this go like curry through butter.
