Mattock?

ME2's Mattock = overpowered, broken gun. GPS was kinda ok, maybe too powerful since it could one shot most defenses from mid-range on Insanity. Phalanx was just a standard pistol. And this is probably the best (even though completely irrelevant) small DLC pack for Mass Effect.

People should just stop worrying about these minor DLC items. I have yet to see a good minor DLC from BioWare.

Phalanx?

Mattock?

Horse Armor?

Mattock=Overpowered
GPS=Overpowered(when charged, twas stronger than Claymore, making it redundant)
Phalanx=Overpowered

I loved the Firepower pack.

No matter where you fall on the issue of extraneous dlc made available through a variety of different pre-release venues, it really is a bit difficult to swallow when the much more expensive CE version isn't the most complete package that can be had. Bad form on the part of any game provider, to alienate their most loyal customer base, by not insuring that an ultimate edition contains it "all". That being said, I'm still mostly indifferent to picayune weapon dlcs scattered across the grocery store!

As long as there aren't any characters that are exclusive to only one deal then I don't care. I have no interest in Mass Effect MP at all or having hundreds of extra weapons. But characters are part of the game and should never be day 1 DLC or be exclusive to a certain retailer or company.

On the whole though all this stuff does is make Bioware look tacky and to have sold out. Rather than trying to be different and stand out it's "Look at us we're just the same as all the other money grabbing soulless companies!!"

It also ruins the Collectors editions. Traditionally a collectors edition is something special and is a complete thing. With this it just looks like just another deal nothing really special about it any more.

Don't think it was much of a spoiler...

As for the rifle, whatever. I believe the game should be experienced in its original configuration, and if it can't be, it's not worth playing.

Much fun has been had with the Firepower pack. It's actually a good thing they never included a sniper rifle in that pack. It'd be a gun so sexy where if someone walked in you'd switch to porn!

Noone is holding a gun to your head, forcing you to buy any OPTIONAL content.
Just like noone forced you to buy the comics, books, OST, models, figurines, or clothes.
Grow up, and lose that unrealistic sense of entitlement.

Pretty much this. I personally do not care for DLC promotions. DLC I have much less of an issue, but I can only imagine an alternate reality 10 years ago... "Buy Final Fantasy III and get a free kefka costume for Crono! We guarantee you won't HATE HATE HATE it!"

If you don't want the gun(or the book), don't buy the book.

Couldn't agree more. This whole thing of 'buy a can of coke, get a free gun in Mass Effect 3', 'use the toilet, get an armour set for Mass Effect 3' etc is so massively over the top it's laughable. Instead of encouraging people to amass the DLC, it gets so ridiculous that people will just give up.

Will they? We'll see. I don't understand the mentality of people who are interested in this stuff enough to know what they will or won't go for.

You just don't get it...it's not about extra content that you may or may not buy. It's about an incomplete game experience. It is about cutting up content before the game is even finished to throw it out in chunks that will never merge together flawlessly.

For example, ME2 had practically no item progression, something that has always been a big motivational factor in game likes this. Even with all the "extra" weapon and armor DLC that element was not satisfactory. Those DLC actually made things worse, because they were completely unbalanced, didn't fit anywhere in the progression (available from the start) and in the end left you with even less reasonable choices than before!
The full body armor DLC makes cutscenes look awefull with the always on helmet. Smae goes for the alternate appearance packs with the visor and shades fetish. And it's not just guns and armor anymore. It's going more and more towards a trend of making story content modular. Since it is modular it will always feel out of place unless it integrated with care. Zaeed and Katsumi feel like DLC characters. You don't want to be reminded in game how you bought these characters in the real world, together with a Burger Kind whopper meal (hyperthetical example).
Noone of Biowares DLC its seamlessly into the game, there is always something about it that makes it feel like a disconnected module.

What we "whiners" want is quality and comfort. Tearing a game appart and hiding the bits in multiple places is not comfort. And even with everything the game will not feel like a whole. Bioware already has some problems with continuity, EAs DLC mania makes it even worse. In the end it comes down to damaged immersion and much less emotional envolvement. Or can anyone real get into Thanes flashback scenes while he wears his alt ap sunglasses without laughing at the screen wondering wtf you are watching.

And for those of you who make it look like all this complaining is pointless and childish. YOU grow up and learn how the world spins, instead of lying back and accepting negative trends. Guess how SOPA was stopped for now? Through whining and ranting.

I don't want the future of gaming to look like a soulless market full of disconnected small items. I want epic, emotionally engaging and believable story adventures. I know Bioware can do it more than any other, so I'm voicing my opinion here to warn from a trend that will get more and more ugly until even the last one looks back wondering "wow, remember when games could be serious entertainment? what happened"

 page not found. Give me a link that works. I assume this is about the Dr. Pepper DLC? I've been saving those bottlecaps for months. I got a whole trash bag full and I plan to share.

Yup. My Vanguard is built around the firepower pack. Anyone who hates the Mattock is dumb. It's a precision weapon. It is the weapon of champions.

[Brownfinger]

Oh, hey. It's this thread. Again.

[Relix28]

I have been complaining about these promo BS dlc's, since ME2 came out. It's gotten beyond ridiculous over the years, and quite frankly I'm really fed up with it (like many, I'm sure).
There has to be a better way to promote thier products than this. No one likes it, some people are neutral about it, and I'm pretty sure a very small percentage of people actually support it.

I hope this nonsense will stop someday, and the companies find out some more user friendly alternatives for adevertising their games and giving incentives for pre-orders. Because this sh!t is really bonkers at the moment.

[GrandTurian]

I agree that its annoying that the game experience isn't "complete" if you don't preorder all these different items, but since the book and figures seem to only involve MP content I'm not gonna worry too much. Wish the book deal was on Amazon (since I have that preordered there already) but its just not that important to me. Sadly, this is the way gaming is going.

The people that think you're childish are mainly the ones who aren't desperate for these weapons, who aren't going to rush out to buy them. If we don't care about them, we don't buy them, we're not in a rush to get them, explain how this supports this trend?

It's people like you who put so much emphasis on these extra weapons which are completely irrevelant to the actual game, you who are so desperate to have them, that's going to keep this "negative trend" going, who end up buying them because they want the "complete experience".

If you want to stop it, stop acting like it's such a big deal and don't buy.
