The thermal clips weren't specifically for "14 year old X-treme shooter fans," they were to improve gameplay.


If by improved you mean scanning the whole battlefield in search of the same friggin bullets that works for every weapon, then yes. Seriously, thermal clips was an incredibly dumb design choice. Tell me, what's the point of introducing ONE type of ammo? It changes too little to the gameplay itself, only you need to search the whole place for the ammo after every encounter. A time sink in other words. Why would you bother trying to find each mag if you can almost do as in ME1 without going through that bother? I'd rather have heating weapons when you can't even switch weapons or do other similar shooter mechanics, than having to play the completist and try to find every gold piece in each room.

Normandy Crashsite
Zaeed - The Price of Revenge
Firewalker Pack
Cerberus Weapon and Armor
Arc Projector

ALL FREE
with the purchase of the retail game on the X360 and PC. Then there's
the fact that virtually every other DLC pack is included free of charge
with the purchase of the PS3 version as well.


Those are worth 20 bucks if you didn't buy the game new. Shivering Isles was 20 bucks. See something wrong? VERY wrong?


And if you bought the game used, you probably paid $40 or less for it, so that extra $20 puts you back at the base cost of a retail game.

Don't like it? Then give the developers your money instead of giving it to GameStop.


That's retarded. The content IS worth 20 bucks, the Cerberus thing IS ONLY consisted of this content, so you buy it for 20 bucks, it IS worth 20 bucks. I bought the game new, but you can't say it's someone fault for not buying the game new that the content is utterly overpriced. Buy ANY game used, DLC content will ALWAYS be the same price. They just announced the Cerberus network for something more than its worth for 2 reasons:
1. To get more sales
2. To get try to get back the money they lost as much as possible

Say what you want but I'll say it again, the Cerberus Network is basically a compilation of DLC, it being overpriced has nothing to do with you not buying the game new. There's no relation whatsoever. But in answer to your question, I don't care about it, the DLC sucked so it wouldn't have been a loss at all. I'd rather get nothing than getting ripped off buying overpriced crap that I wish I didn't loose my time with.


U Mad?

The "bigger man" wouldn't have posted to say that he hoped all the "whiners" were disappointed and had something else to cry over in an optional downloadable appearance pack which doesn't affect his game in the least. That's just being selfish and bitter.

But apology accepted. I'm prepared to get back on topic if you are.


English isn't my first language, so i apologise if i sounded in any way apologetic (though i'm competent enough to state that i definitely didn't and that it's a misunderstanding on your part).

Sure, this appearance pack is a downloadable extra. I feel as though i've been clear in stating that my concern is that this may be a sign of things to come in Mass Effect 3. I'll be bitterly disappointed if every squad member is outfitted in combat armour.  Style is important. Especially to Miranda, if the Shadow Broker's documents are anything to go by.

Considering that i'm most probably going to download this as soon as it's available on the xbox marketplace, i just wanted to express my opinion on giving Miranda armour. Had i not been immediately jumped on, my involvement in this thread would have been limited to that one comment.

i prefer me'2s thermal clips. you come off as a very bitter person. if you are that mad that me2 is not like me1, i'm sure nobody would care if you stopped buying bioware games, and stopped posting. in fact, many would be pleased. negativity is not good for you.

Can you quote the specific part where I said that I don't like certain ME2 elements because they're not like ME1? I don't like certain elements because they suck, simple as that.

I come as a bitter person? You come as someone who just discovered internet forums. If you don't like to hear complaining, internet, specifically internet forums is not for you. Sorry if I have high standards, feel bad for paying a game that should have been much better 60 bucks, or just get annoyed by people posting stupid comments.

And you know what, ME3 might be my last Bioware game - if it's not ME2 - I'm sure you don't care, and I don't care you don't care, can you enlighten me as the point of that comment? If forums were populated solely by people who can't criticize, some games would start to suck hard - some already do. Negativity is not good only if it affects you physically, I'm very calm right now, that you for your concern, but if everyone stop to care about getting quality products, developpers will start caring too. I'm sick of fanbois who jump on everyone giving the slight criticism. Believing any developer can make perfection is not good. If I told myself wanting too much out of a game isn't good, well it would end up being worse as I'd have way too many games for the time I have, as well as for my wallet. With today's industry and the video game crowd, it's normal to have your doubts and see developers taking a dump in quality. In fact, I am VERY susprised Rockstar - a company I first hated - got better over time.

Ugh, Tali. Figures. I guess my hopes that Mordin, Samara, and Jacob might get some attention were vain hopes indeed. Miranda is the only one of this trio that I ever take with me anywhere. Of course, there's nothing wrong with Mordin and Samara's outfits as they are, and Jacob's loyalty outfit isn't bad. It's just a bummer that only the "popular" characters were addressed.


Fan Service

My thoughts exactly.

fans do purchase these things, do they not?



also, i hope that they release a 3rd as well, as i too would love a mordin outfit. his two look almost exactly alike.

Well, durr.  If they made it for less popular characters, it wouldn't sell as well.

Besides, Samara, Jacob, Legion, and Mordin may have something on the way for them.  Possibly Zaeed and Kasumi, too, since a lot of people got Zaeed for free and PS3 players got both.

There is a difference between Fan Service and doing whats right for your consumers. If they REALLY wanted to satisfy us, they would have made a 3rd alternate outfit for ALL characters or atleast all the remaining characters besides Jack, Thane, and Garrus (Which already recieved theirs). But no, they just chose the "American Idol" route and chose some of the popular characters while leaving out others such as Samara, Mordin, Legion, Jacob etc.....

Again, there is a difference between doing whats right for your fans and just doing all out fan service.

Doing whats right for your fans includes concepts that pleases a larger variety of your fans. Fan Service just focuses on a certain segment of your fans while ignoring the rest.

Oh well, I hope Bioware is happy. I know I won't be making this purchase.

My point of compaint is that Miranda's catsuit is much more interesting than a generic piece of armour. It does more to show off her personality, and it's much more interesting to look at. Even ignoring her callipgyian figure.

If wanting the developers to continue doing what i want them to do makes me selfish, then i suppose i am selfish.


I had to look in the dictionary for that word [callipygian]. Learn something new every day :)

On another note, Grunt looks like a total boss from that Japanese preview. I hope Miranda's armor is still form-fitting. It'd be a shame to cover up her fine...assets. Don't have an opinion on Tali yet but I never take her on very many missions anyways.

@MajesticJazz: They are under the impression that releasing them three at a time will make them more money. And Grunt's not even that popular compared to, say, Legion and Mordin. Really, are you seriously gonna get cranked up over a 2-dollar gimmick?

@HBC Dresden: Don't know, but sometime soon, probably.

Drop it dude. You are acusing Bioware of cattering to their audience with their products (WTF) but on the other side you're clearly being partial. If they are doing as you said... why the hell Tali's version is supposed to be on the second pack and not on the first? Who knows how many appearance packs there will be (because I didnt cried when $myfavorite_character wasnt included on the first pack)? And hell whats wrong with Tali that makes everyone go on angry rampage mode?
You know I can't say whats worse: Tali-Mancers or Anti-Tali-Mancers.

Oh wait... I know whats worse. People using an appearance pack trhead to complain about ammo mechanics.

You know... everything they do will make you cry. Bioware doesn't deserve this community.

i know its only appearance pack and i probably wouldnt of got the first if it wasnt for the amazing deal of £6 for the weapons, armor and appearance on the playstation store.



if its like £2, thats cool and it gives the game a fresher feel, like playing as a female shep instead of male.

I miss using make believe money to buy awesome looking gear from a jellyfish. EA will probably charge my credit card for thermal clips in ME3.
