Linkys for those who ask

marketplace.majornelson.com/archive/2010/06/15/overlord-pybum3k8te.aspx

Has anyone played it? Let us know what you think, i'm about to go DL it now!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

Wow, I am blown away. The vehicle gameplay, the story, the combat, all really, really great. I was thought the Hammerhead sections were especially awesome, as was the final mission. Definately worth the teeny asking price for those sitting on the fence.

Once again for DLC, the music doesn't sound like it has come from Jack Wall and the wall of sound guys, while it's still good, it lacks that ME signature sound.

I know it's probably too much to ask, but a guy can dream: Squadmate banter. Your squad are silent the WHOLE mission, as is Joker. I know it would mean bringing back 12 cast members, and is probably prohibitivley expensive. But hey, some chatter would have been nice.

Otherwise i'm really happy to see some mission with a bit more story development. This mission has more story development and twists than most (not all) of the single player missions in ME2. It could be because it's longer, but unlike the on disc missions, it feels less like "get from point a to point b and shoot everyone you see" and more like an exploration of a real story.

But it's really nice to have a more developed mission to play with the Hammerhead on. The platforming was awesome and the scenery really beautiful. Give me more missions like this for DLC and ME3 and i'll be a happy, happy camper.

My gripes with the hammerhead are the same as i posted a few days ago in the Vehicle feedback and ideas thread:

social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/103/index/2863117.

It's great for maneuvering and the platforming is freaking awesome, but combat doesn't work without a health meter, better health system and it takes damage far too easy. BUT not to sound like i'm complaining, because I loved it, i really did. I just want to provide feedback to make it even better.

Overall the pack has more gameplay variety than almost any other  mission in the game. The finale is up there with the best moments on the disc IMO (and perhaps... dare i say it... better). And the story, while built on the seemingly overused "rogue AI" story that has already been used in at least 2 other side missions in the franchise, really branches out into something quite memorable and moving.

Overall, fantastic. Loved it. I plan on playing through again tommorow with one of my other Shepards.


---------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: Reading through the thread I can see the number 1 thing people keep saying is it's great, but the hammerhead takes too little damage and needs a HUD and a tweak here and there.

BUG: after earning both my achievements, the next day they locked up again, and won't seem to unlock.

Also a few people are reporting complete lock ups when they first enter prometheus station.

[weedlink10]

[mattahraw]

So far it's awesome, part 1 done, hammerhead section is beautiful. Now loading next part....

[AilCross1912]

1 % alright......... 99% more to go

[AlbertoAquilani]

Good stuff so far Bioware. I'm about halfway through. Really well done.

[Joe Dono]

Played the first level of Overlord (I have to go out now so will finish the rest when i get home) and is really good, why cant other games developers make stuff to this standard... yes Lucas Arts im looking at you.

[AntiChri5]

Downloading on Xbox in Australia.



Lets hope its up to Biowares usual standard.

[Neo Hex Omega]

I was impressed overall, though I am a bit taken back that Bioware didn't use any feedback from the Firewalker missions to improve the Hammerhead. It works great for exploring, but I think it's still a poor replacement for the Mako in the combat department.



But I am happy with the download nonetheless.

[mattahraw]

I agree, as I said above, platforming in the hammerhead is awesome fun, combat still doesn't quite work.



A simple health meter, HUD, and some armor thicker than cardboard would make a big difference.

I agree with that. And for the love of all things holy Bioware, the ability to save while in the Hammerhead would be appreciated. Dying from turret fire after collecting data packets and no saving does not fun gaming make. And being able to exit the vehicle like we did with the Mako would be nice too.

Those are really the only negatives points I can take away from Overlord. Everything else is fantastic.

[Icematt12]

Well, I think of the Firewalker as some sort of prototype exploration vehicle. I'm not expecting any sort or armour that can take a pounding or latest equipment, it's just a little frustrating to play.



I've always said that there was nothing wrong with the Mako, it was the environments that made it boring. Things like large areas with minimal items of interest and getting stuck on mountains repeatedly. It made collecting things even more of a chore.
