I just didn't enjoy this DLC too much at all. On a scale of 1-10,
I give it a 6.
The story seemed like contrived filler. It didn't make me believe that this whole Alpha relay, Dr. Kenson and the pending 3 hour to doomsday reaper appearance was real. If I hadn't heard the jist of the story before-hand, I would have half expected for Shep to wake up at the end, suffering from a bad dream.
As far as the shooter aspect, I give it an 8. It definitely had stuff to shoot. Lot's of nonsensical puzzles to interact with. Not difficult, on the edge of being ridiculous.I liked the new art assets they included, at least they did that. The base and the prison looked top notch. Even the external shots out of the windows made me feel like I was on a decent sized rock. Kudos to the art team.The price was about right. $7 for an hour and a half. Ok I guess. I give that a 7.
Now, here is my "issue" with it: Bioware told us they were doing some bridging DLC for ME3. I got excited with LotSB, because the story tied a lot together, it was well told and interactive enough to make me give a damn about what was happening. So naturally I assumed (i know, I know) that Arrival would be close to the same level of goodness. I don't think it was and it was disappointing. This story which probably took all of an afternoon to pen, didn't even come close. The plot made little sense in the grand scheme of things. Let's face it, this was supposed to be "bridging" content, it wasn't, or if it was, I'm too dimwitted to grasp it.
Just so I am straight; the whole point of this was to rescue a Hackett operative (whom he might have the hots for) from a Batarian prison, investigate evidence, get knocked out by an indoctrinated crew on the asteroid, for two days, then destroy a relay so reapers won't come through..delaying them by a couple of months, while destroying a whole system in the process. Even for my renegade Shep, that made no sense. Did I miss something?
Hey, I bought it twice, once for PC, once for Xbox, and I will continue to support BW and the ME universe but I have to call this one like I see it: Rushed, not well thought out or planned DLC to appease us slobbering, ingrateful fans until ME3 hit's the shelves this holiday season.
Will I play it again? Of course, I have 3 more Sheps that need to destroy some Batarian fools in order to give me another couple of months to prepare for da reapahs!
