endings + dlc =

[MoonChildTheUnholy]

Yes Javik is great and don´t forget we also get a new weapon, the Particle Rifle.

Although i have to say that content like this should never have been "optional" dlc, its too important for the story because whoever played the other games has always heard about the Protheans, and actually meeting one alive is a must to be honest, but i can´t complain since i had it with my copy already.

Not a bad DLC tbh.

[Black Jaguar Risc]

When is this DLC out for PC ? I bought the standard version yesterday and I don't see any in game menu option to buy this DLC.

[IC3_C0LD_ZERO]

Anyone from Europe having trouble downloading the DLC on PSN via Credit Card? Each time I proceed to buy it, an error pops us and says that my billing information is incorrect! Anyone experiencing the same issue?

[ShadowJumper117]

Do I have to download this DLC before I start playing the game? Just recieved my CE and was curious if I had to. Please answer and thanks!!!

Going to re-post this from the other thread, hope y'all don't mind.

Please, let me explain this to you:

Mass Effect 3 is $60
One play-through is said to take 18-24 hours (or around ME2's length).
That means you're getting 1 hour of content for $3, never mind NewGame+

FINE! That's fantastic! That's what a game should be!

However, the DLC chracter is $10.
That means we should expect at least 3-4 hours of content out of that character. We all know that the missions included with these characters are usually 20-30 minutes, along with a bit of dialogue.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. If we paid $10 per squaddie, you wouldn't even have a full crew at $60. How would you like buying the game, getting Garrus, Ashley, Vega, Liara, Tali, and The Prothean, and then that's it? No missions, no story, no cutscenes, etc. With this kind of logic, that's exactly what you'd get!

EDIT: Don't censor me when the files were clearly in the demo and the announcement was leaked long before.

LOL 18-24 hours......on a hardcore playthrough of mass effect 2 with doing every mission the game had to offer(even the silly pointless missions) it took me a whopping 44 hours on my first playthrough. This game is said to take around 35-40 hours on normal difficulty. So where exactly are you getting these numbers from?

[Nathander Von Eric]

I had well over 40 hours playing time on ME2. I don't rush through games or anything though so that's not any kind of benchmark.

[The Tony Show]

I have no problem with DLC, and I dont subscribe to the "Price/hours of gameplay" method of determing value. I bought all the mission DLC For ME2 and really enjoyed what i got for my money

However...

I'm not far into the 3rd game, but this mission and the backstory you get with it seems pretty essential to me, as I think it would to any ME fan. I'm fine with offering wacky side quests like Kasumi's heist as paid DLC, but putting a Prothean and some major details about the history of the universe into a separate paid download seems like a bad call.

Shame on whoever made that decision. I always get annoyed at people who don't understand how DLC development after the game goes Gold works and accuse devs of "taking stuff out of the game to hold as DLC", but this is the first time I've actually found myself agreeing with them. You win in the end because you got me to pay, but the whole thing feels gross.

[Gnaeus.Silvanus]

Just finished the From Ashes DLC and it really feels it should have been part of the game. Much of the details about the Proteans and the Reapers including other races are there.

Its really a bad way of milking this game for all of its worth.

I'm really sad for you Bioware, no more dignity left? EA has indoctrinated you much, I see.

[Rogue Eagle]

I just finished Prothean DLC too and I can't believe this wasn't integrated into main game. They're even ASKING him about ways to develop *spoiler* the prothean weapon *spoiler.

Which he knows *spoiler* exactly jack-all about *spoiler*, so I fail to see how that point is relevant to the topic at hand.

[EugeneBi]

I suggest making all companions as paid DLC. Imagine you buy ME2 for $35 with Miranda and the other initial guy (forgot his name, sorry) only. This is enough to beat the game. In the last mission the guy would die because he is not a good tech and Miranda would die because she is not a good mage. Shepard would die because there is nobody to lend a hand while (s)he jumps to Normandy.

But this is a valid end of the game.

Now, all other companions are $7, additional love interests are $10, and Zaed is $5 because he has no recruiting mission.

Buy and build your own team

[JeffZero]

The mission itself was painfully short and narrow compared to Zaeed, which I think is the natural comparison in this case. Or the closest to it.

But the cutscenes were fantastic and the character is terrific. I just wish there was twice as much gameplay to that place. Maybe meet up with the colonists or something? It just felt way too freaking short.

[ArkkAngel007]

Overall, I enjoyed the DLC, though it was rather short. Felt very bare, like the N7 missions. Was a bit surprised at the enemies that were thrown in though. If you're just getting access to the Galaxy Map, you may want to wait until you beef up your weapons and skills, or be very meticulous in what you do. Good chance you will run out of ammo in the last confrontation otherwise.

I also found Javik to not be important in the main game. The potential was there I suppose, but what was there was a far-cry from being integral and needed to enjoy the game. I liked the cool tid-bits, don't get me wrong, but do we really need to know what the Salarians did with their eyeballs?

From what I've read, the mission you get with him appears on your list as a priority mission and not as a secondary side-quest.

Suggests to me that it was a reasonably important part of the game (important enough to be a priority mission rather than an optional side-quest) and was removed for the simple reason of charging extra for it.

[Swords and Lasers]

He's important to the lore, not the game. Download it if you're a completest who loves everything Mass Effect, but the DLC doesn't change anything to the game as a whole( i.e. Zaeed, Kasumi. Fun to have, but not a necessity). It's fine without it.

[gigiduru]

I bought and played the dlc and as many before me i am 100% sure this was intented to be in game from begining . ME 3 is and awesome game , From Ashes is an awesome DLC but this is the last time i buy games from BW .

Cut content and then sold as DLC is not a fair business .

[EVILFLUFFMONSTER]

Doesnt Kasumi come across in ME3 as being very important? You would think, what with the whole strongbox thingy and how it might affect the alliance. I would say her mission is probably of more importance to the plot and storyline than say..Jacob's, or Miranda's, or Zaeed's etc. Did not having her impact my game in any way? No it didn't. It was a full experience without the DLC, the DLC made it into a richer experience - but I loved the game without it.

If you completed the game entirely first without the "From Ashes" DLC, and then with it, then you would be in a better position to judge from an unbiased standpoint how essential it was to the plot - it may seem to hint that it is, but that does not mean a thing. People still arguing that him being a Prothean somehow makes him more important need to understand that from gameplay terms he isnt. He is simply more desirable because of who he is - that does not mean he is needed in any way.

And yet again - it was not cut content, they could not include it in the game because it was not finished by the time the game was - it was developed initially alongside the game for better integration into the story whilst they were adding audio, cut scenes etc and finished the rest afterwards. It is arguably content that could have been developed for in-game instead rather than DLC, but you can argue that any DLC could have been.

It wasn't supposed to be day 1 DLC, but the game was delayed 3 months remember.

Nah man. I got an advance copy of the game before it came out and played about 10 hours until I got my hands on my CE and DLC content. I immediately proceeded to boot up Prothy's mission.

It was too short, but I loved the flashback scenes. They made my jaw drop. I would've liked to have seen him discovering the Indoctrination of his collegues, but it was overall nicely done. It was intriguing to see that the Collectors existed before the Protheans were completely wiped out.

[Rorschachinstein]

Pretty damned ashamed they made people pay for this. Sebastian was like a Strawberry for a chocolate cake in DA2 wasn't necessary but tasted good. Javik is like all the filling being taken out being told to buy after I purchase the cake. That's what makes me feel a little disappointed with how Bioware and EA handled it. Not angry "OMG I HATE U GUYS 4EVER", but it's not what it was supposed to be.
