And basically, the ending of ME2 is a DLC and we, sheeps gamers, do have to buy and play it because it's part of the main story?

.. What a shame.

A - No, it's not the ending to ME2. It's more like a prologue to ME3.
B- You don't have to play it. ME3 starts the same way regardless of whether you played it or not.
C-...nevermind, I don't need a C.

Nobody's forcing you to buy ME2 DLC just to play ME3. You can just as easily get the gist of Arrival by watching Youtube videos of other people's playthroughs.

If you don't want to play Arrival, you don't have to. There are no major choices there, so if you don't do it, ME3 will just pretend like you did.

The DLC were always intended to 'bridge the gap' between Mass Effect 2 and 3.

[They call me a SpaceCowboy]

Nope, Arrival events happen in ME3 whether you buy/play it or not. ME2 ended with the collector base blowing up.

[RoboticWater]

No the ending is the SM, you do not need it but anything that happened is assumed to have happened.

OP just got hammered...

[didymos1120]

Yes, because obviously the true ending of a game in which you spend most of your time recruiting a squad for a suicide mission isn't that suicide mission, but rather a short solo outing by Shepard.

A- It's a main event in the storyline. Don't you know that DLCs are supposed to be additional content, not prologues.
B- Thank you for telling me that I don't have to play it, I really did not know that. But my Shepard will start ME3 in a trial accused to have blown up a system but he does not remember because he did not play a DLC. " In your face b*tch !" - Bioware.

Dont play or buy arrival, remain blissfully ignorant of the stupidity contained within that DLC.

It's not a main event in the storyline of ME2. It has nothing to do with the story of ME2. Timeline wise, it happens six months after ME2 is even finished. And additional content can be a prologue. It's not like it's written in stone that it can't.

And no, your Shepard won't. Even if you don't play Arrival, it still happens.

No, we don't know that because you just made that "rule" up.  DLCs are whatever developers want them to be.

-Arrival was a bridging DLC. It also can happen at ANY time during ME2 because Hackett effectively covers your *** because he is on your side until the start of ME3
-My Shepard does not remember being assigned to patrol the terminus before getting blown up....it happened anyway

I second this, Bioware was always going on about dowloadable games being the future (at least I think they did).

To respect a logical chronology , or story unfolding , it should be done after the SM, but it's an extra , a side quest explaining a bit the time delay before the reapers get to earth and gives some insight as to why Shep must go on trial .
Object Rho adds some difficulty to the game and i like the soundtrack.
But it's not essential at all.

we're still clueless as to how Shep fills in those months afterward. Is he reinforcing the SR2 , searching for more prothean tips about the reapers , screwing around , or just wondering where the f*** he should go .

[J-Sheridan]

The plot of Arrival is as follows:

Hackett: Go to the system and find out whats going on
Kenson X: Ha we are indoctrinated and the Reapers are coming !!!!!
Shepard: I will stop you no matter the cost !
Kenson: You stopped the Reapers, Argh !
Harbringer: Destroying a system and killing 300k wont stop us.
Shepard: Your just a machine...and machines can be broken
Harbinger: We are coming, Prepare for our... ARRIVAL !!!!!!
Hackett: You did the right thing but your totally gonna get burned for it. Tough luck
Shepard: Yup, the Reapers are coming and we have to be ready and sacrifice me for the greater good
Hackett: Good boy, I gotta go cause your still the enemy, bye.

Thats your prologue, look up the movies on Youtube and you saved yourself some money.

ME3 story starts after Arrival, so It's obviously a main event in the storyline of the ME trilogy. Nothing to do with ME2 story? Ok so why is this a DLC for... ME2?
If a DLC takes place in a main event of the story in which the beginning of ME3 is based, it's not an additional content, it's selling a game in kit.

What, you propose it should have been one for ME1 instead?

It should have been part of ME2 or ME3. Or it shouldn't have never existed and Bioware just made a correct plot device to start ME3 in Earth.

He proposes he should get the product of a lot of other people's work for free. The OP basically thinks he deserves slaves.

But it's no main event at all. It's an event -that happens regardless if you play it or not- that delayed the reaper invasion by a few month. You know, the invasion ME3 is about. It just fills a gap - it's no different to LotSB or Overlord (only not as good). Nothing more, nothing less. What's wrong with this? It's optional - you don't like it, or don't want to support DLC? Don't buy it. But don't feel entitled to additional content you don't want to pay for.

If it was part of ME2, it would've been the most anti-climatic, non-sequitar ending in history. It would also make for a terrible way to start ME3.

It's a non-essential one-off mission that you don't even have to play to enjoy anything about either game. Really, what are you complaining about?

If you don't want to pay $10 to play a decent DLC just watch a run-through of it on youtube. But that's obviously not your problem with it. I'm sorry you dont like Bioware "forcing" DLC onto you but they cannot make all that content packaged with the game. If they are making money and if you (the player) are having fun playing more ME2 than its some what of a win/win
