DLC and expansion packs are the same thing these days. It's just you can get away with really small expansion packs.

Exactly. They used to be just expansion packs because internet speeds were too ridiculous to require them be downloadable only, so they released all the extra content they had worked on under a newer name and one whole disc. The only reason they would release a separate disc now is if they compile all the DLC on one disc, like Fallout 3 and Borderlands did, or because the size is far too big for DLC.

You know, if EA is really as money hungry as people claim, then IT would actually make a lot of sense. If the reveal costs money and people buy it, then they make even MORE money than they would with no reveal.

(Ok here is another post without insults, and a serious discussion of the game)

No it won't because then people would feel like their choice didn't matter because you are TELLING them that they didn't freely make that choice.

Also they would have revealed it in the game, and or by  now if it existed.

People always have their reasons to keep paying for DLC, you guys just have a very weird one.

And don't forget, most people who played the game don't like the ending, and think it was bad writing.....we don't care about indoctrination, because even with that, the ending is made even worst.

We thought we were going to have that feeling you had when you beat Mass Effect 1, with the cool credit music and everything.

This game gave no sense of fulfillment....no epic ending, no epic boss fight at the end, no interaction with the Reapers.

A lot of ppl remember Soveriegn, who is the best character is the whole series to most of us.

Some of Soveriegn's words: "You cannot grasp the nature of our existence"  "We are each a nation, independant"

Soveriegn made the Reapers seem like this mystical  race, so far removed from human understanding that it made them even more of a villian race.   He chastised organic comprehension of what they do, he made it seem that the Reapers were of a God's mentality, and that even their foolishness trumps organic wisdom.

Yet the Star Child explaination of what happen was very simple and takes only a 10 year old human's comprehension.    The star child and the choices at the end contradicts what a lot of people thought the series was about.

I don't see how can you guys be TRUE Mass Effect fans, and not hold Bioware accountable.  First Dragon Age 2,  and then Mass Effect 3 after it.

It is obvious that the story CHANGED the writing CHANGE, the purpose of the Reapers were CHANGE, maybe because they couldn't decide how to follow through with a race of God-like beings, or that the technological dedicated for making unique Reapers and unique Boss Fights were just too much of a task.

But the story is broken, its not the same Mass Effect as it was in Mass Effect 1, the best in the series story wise.

I downloaded Mass Effect 3 retail, does that mean its DLC?

Also Broken Steel, which I played on Xbox, came in a disc with four other expansions.  And they were referred to as expansion packs.  Because they extended the game past the ending...

[RavenEyry]

It's just your opinion on why the game is as it is though. Ours is different. Bragging about laughing at us does not make many want to care about your opinion.

Only Broken Steel extends the game past the ending. You're really just arguing semantics here.

Finally got myself a custom avatar. I was getting sick and tired of that lame old hanar avatar. Too bad that I can't also change my nickname. Oh well...

[EXMEFan]

Lol @ people who said I didn't play the game....I literally made an Rush youtube video, over my little brothers house after I got through playing the game on his XBOX 360 because I didn't have internet yet at my apartment to download it.

Don't tell me what I played or didn't play. Mass Effect 1 was the best story in gaming other than the Metal Gear Solid series. ME2 was passable but you could see them trying to add elements that weren't in the previous game, just to have a reason to make two more games. But ME2 didn't mess up the lore of the Reapers, but we never really faced any reapers.

And Mass Effect 3 comes, all the reapers look like squids, you never have a real conversation with one, you have one half ass on rails boss fight with one, you fight another that abstractly as he is used as an environmental hazard more than anything else, and you get to the end and all the sudden these guys were puppets of some AI in the form of some child that died at the beginning of the game.

You guys are trusting Bioware to have had made some secret clever design in the game. That the game writer skillfully hints at indoctrination of Shepard, but at the same time the writer couldn't even keep the same meaning of Mass Effect from the first game. Things drastically changed for the Reapers. Not only are they not in control, they have NO REASON to want to be preserved, since they do not have Independence, they are controlled by an AI. And at worst they go back into the darkness of space and just sit there until commanded.

Mass effect being the best story in gaming lolz

Mr.lmfao get out bro
you are a terrible troll

Now, to the rest of the people here; what do you think about the team that made omega being the same team that is in charge of mass effect 4?

You do realise that IT means those retcons about the reapers aren't really there?

Well you guys just said Broken Steel wasn't an expansion pack, it is....now you guys are saying DLC and expansion packs are the same....you guys are the one arguing the sematics. 

There is also a reason why Broken Steel changed the ending, it was an open world game, and people wanted to finish missions after they beat the game.  It was for gameplay purposes the ending was change.

You guys think games are just stories, there is gameplay, and money involved in every move a company makes.

Bioware isn't the same Bioware......you guys have this naive faith in them.

Yeah but that insults the intelligence of those who bought the game, complained about the ending, and they changed it for free.

If they then further say none of that stuff happens, and that apparently none of your choices matter, that whole time you are talking to the Star Child was just a waste of time so we can dick you out of your money with DLC, well that would be even more of a bad business decision, and bad writing.

A good game writer would have revealed that in game.  And again, even in the game itself, you have no real interaction with the Reapers, they are kind of the side story.  It takes them a very long time to destory earth, with no interference while you go out and gather the troops, and build something that would be in their best interest that you never built.  But yet you are telling me that they are tricking you to pick the right way to make them useless?

It makes no sense, would have been best if you never build the crucible.  

And if what the star child said was false, why did the Reapers leave once you pick anything other than destory?  Wouldn't they still destroy you anyways, because if you are saying the star child lied, then why would they do all this, and just up and leave?

It makes no sense.  

[RavenEyry]

Making the worst ending to anything ever then refusing to take criticism also makes no sense, so either way there's crazy management decisions.
