very strange. No official information released by bioware yet.


from EA : ,,BioWare also announced today that players already in the game can download a new game add-on called "Overlord", adding five new areas and two new achievements. Available June 15, the game add-on is available for 560 Microsoft points and on PC for 560 BioWare points. Also on June 15, BioWare is releasing a new premium theme based on Omega and new avatar items for Xbox Live will follow on June 17.´´

And by the way, Fallout 3 New Vegas on stores in a few months, Bethesheda is back to fight for the rpg supremacy, good time to compare what kind of dlcs are they going to release. Too many people saying that ME2 kicks Fallout ass, but most of you will buy the new game for sure.


I didn't like Fallout 3 because of it's mediocre voice acting, bad digital acting, bad writing and terrible gameplay. It had very few redeeming features. I might give New Vegas a chance because it's made by Obsidian instead of Bethesda.


the voice acting may be not as good as ME2, because there are much more characters, and is even translate to much more languagues that ME2 (ME voices are not even translated to spanish...). You may not like the dgital acting, writing, and stuff, but a great legion of fans love them, thats why Fallout 3 is Game of the Year 2008, and also by its good dlcs. We still dont know if ME2 will also be a GOTY, and if someone tries to support ME2 for its DLCs saying "they release a lot of new stuff" I will answer them "please, take a look to Fallout 3 DLCs"

Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to the; "$$$BIOWARE$$$ PROMISED THE DLC WOULD BE OUT AT 00:00PM BUT ITS NOWHERE IN SIGHT! I TOOK A WEEK OFF WORK TO DOWLOAD THIS I DEMAND $$$BIOWARE$$$ PAY MY RENT!!!1" forum posts more than the DLC?

You do have to admit that Bethesda knows how to do DLC packs.



Oblivion's Shivering Isles and Fallout 3's Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Operation: Anchorage were all top quality stuff. Some of the best DLC ever released over Xbox Live.



BioWare's a great magnificent developer but none of their DLC's gotten close to usurping Point Lookout, The Pitt, or Shivering Isles. I mean it's not even close in comparison to both gameplay hours, voice acting, dialogue available, exploration, and storyline.



I too prefer BioWare's RPGs to Bethseda's but when it comes to DLC Bethseda's in the lead by a lot.

Ehh... Point Lookout and Broken Steel were great, but Operation: Anchorage was disappointing, The Pitt was buggy, and Mothership Zeta was god awful.

Really, there's good and bad with Bethesda's DLCs as there are with BioWare's. Although the DLCs for Fallout 3 were large and there was a lot of them, the way BioWare is going, we may get more DLC than F3 ever got. 

(Also less expensive, too: $15 for one F3 DLC compared to $5-7 for one for ME/DA:O).

Aren't the fallout 3 DLCs mediocre overall? I have the GOTY edition so I could try them out myself but I doubt that I will enjoy them because I didn't enjoy the game itself. I don't care much about DLC anyway. Few people will judge a game by its DLC rather than how good it was on release day.

Mass Effect 2 will definitely be GOTY on at least one big gaming site, but with Super Mario Galaxy 2, AKA the best reviewed game this generation, and the new Zelda that may come out this year they have some serious competition.

I agree with almost everything you just said. I didn't think all of the Fallout DLCs were great, but Bethesda are superior with their DLC when compared with Bioware.

ME and Dragon Age DLC have so far been pretty disappointing - although Kasumi was definitley a step in he right direction.

I hope Overlord will prove that BW can make decent DLC - but I'm not sure Posted Image

I  tend to agree with you on Bethesda DLC though I still enjoyed The Pitt, bugs and all.  I've been playing FO3 again on a hard difficulty just to get me in the mood for FO New Vegas just like I did one more playthrough on ME prior to ME2 coming out just to get hyped up.

As for ME2 DLC, just the fact that I can play them after the game is complete is a game winner for me.  I  screamed bloody murder about that regarding ME1.  BDtS came out soon enough after ME was released that I didn't mind playing through all over again with my multiple saves and was actually glad for the excuse to do so at the time as that game still is my #1 favorite game of all time and is the sole reason I even bought a 360 in the first place.  However, on pure principle I  refused to buy the Pinnacle Stateion DLC because it wasn't playable after you'd beaten the game.  The fact that it got terrible reviews by almost everyone simply made the choice not to buy that much easier.  Thus far ME2 DLCthat is gameplay related has been fun if a bit short and that's where Bethesda tops Bioware IMO.  I'm hopeful we'll get a full length expansion pack in the near future like DAO  has then my tune on Bioware vs. Bethesda regarding DLC may change.

Still, even if Overlord only takes and hour or two to play it's still more ME2 which is good and I have 4 Shepards to play through with.

:)

Hrm, I thought the gameplay was tons of fun for FO3 and the story was really great.  It didn't exactly look great and the lack of voice for the main character is disappointing but given the sheer size of the game I  imagine some sacrifices had to be made but there's no doubt that FO3 and New Vegas are dated when it comes to graphics and sound as big open sandbox games like Red Dead Redemption prove.  Still, at least IMO, it makes up for that in sheer scale and tons of great RPG choices as you can be good or as bad as you want whereas in ME you're pretty much a good guy saving the galaxy it's just that you can be compassionate about going about that or a real bastard but still save the galaxy.

One thing, did you notice the background of Kasumi's pic (can't find a good link and I still don't know how to post pics)  but there's a krogan statue in the background with what seems like another krogan statue in the right.  I don't remember that being in the vault on Bekenstein.  Could this be a new area?  I'm not sure because I only played through Kasumi's mission once.

No, it's the vault cause if you look closely you can see the ogre from DA:O

F3 DLC was all priced at $10 man, heck a couple times this and last year they were all $5 (so for $25 you could get them all)

Yeah, I'm looking at the video of it right now, yeah it's in the vault.  Interesting to see if we get that new white pistol here, even though Casey said we're not gonna get any new weapons in Overlord.

interesting a new pistol is that from the Overlord (if so awesome makes it even more worth it) or Kasumi pics?

Awesome!  I can actually see the "M5"  people were referring to before.  Looks like an energy weapon instead of a projectile weapon.

I  like the hand cannon but I'm eager to give this a try too.

I have the feeling that this pistol will be a premium item. (Outside of Overlord).

I was hoping the DLC would be out today since the demo snuck out today. Any word on that?
