people who don't like ME3 aren't going to leave BSN because they still like Mass Effect, so its pointless to tell us to leave and Bioware wanted people to be talking about ME3 for a long time

We can tell you to grow up, though.


the same can be said about you calling people haters, whiners, entitled, etc, while some of us can be calm and well-spoken about what we like and don't like. Like really don't try to tell people to grow up when others act just as bad or worse.

Not everything needs to be involved with the endings, dude.

It does when its the last chapter of the story


No it doesn't mate, else ME3 would be lacking a lot of content as it is.

not your mate pal


Well I'm not your pal, buddy


I'm not your buddy, friend

lotsb added major story elements that carried over to ME3. Did u miss that part? this new dlc adds nothing important to me


Not only that, but the comparison is silly - regarding ME2 DLC, the final chapter obviously hadn't been written yet, so everything following was completely unknown and exciting. When we're buying ME2 DLC, not only are we doing it just to keep playing a ME game till 3 came out, but we also (at least I did) thought that the DLC choices and content would carry over into ME3 - and it did in many cases. Any ME3 DLC that doesn't alter the ending is not appealing to many who hated the endings. It's really as simple as that ...

They told you to keep your ME3 save games for a reason.

What ever happened to just buying DLC for fun and for the story?


I guess it just depends if you're more of a journey person or a destination person.  If you enjoy the journey even if it ultimately takes you off a lore breaking cliff in the last 10 minutes then have fun I say.

If there is a greater truth than "Other people do it so I can too!" it is unknown to me. Those childhood behaviors are really so applicable to the internet; that's not even a joke or sarcasm.

Just to note, this is a bit misleading.

$200 million worth of sales is not the same as $200 million in revenue. EA/BioWare do not earn retail price for the game (at least that I'm aware of), there may be currency exchanges factored into that value, and there is of course cost and overhead (and Microsoft and Sony get paid for every copied manufactured, meaning you have to pay them even if you can't sell it).

Not to diminish your point, but when they said ME3 drove $200 million in sales, that doesn't mean BioWare actually made $200 million. That likely just indicates that the game sold 3 million copies at ASP $60 or some such.

I'd actually like to hear about the origin story of the Reapers. I'm in it for that. I was disappointed it wasn't in to begin with but eh I'll stomach it. Hopefully the DLC is as good as the Shadow Broker one.

I wish Mass Effect 3 wasn't rushed so much... that's what it feels like. lol

I do the same.  A fellow developer always tells me how much he hates me every time we speak.  I tell him his hatred extends my lifespan.

Yeah the units sold was what I was getting at with that. Selling 3 million copies in 4 months doesn't really sound like a game that isn't doing well.

To clarify, that's shipping three million copies. Not selling, well, not necessarily selling. Sure, the shipped copies were ordered, so now the broker(aka GameStop, Target, WalMart, etc) is on the line trying to get the product sold to make their own profit. Also, not trying to make less of what you point out, just being clear. The last time I looked, in July, ME 3 was still about 200K shy of selling out the initial 3M shipped units.
FWIW, DA 2 sold 2M copies, which seems like pretty good sales figures, but that game has been officially kiboshed. If Leviathan sells really well, I think folks have good reason to hope for a strong future for ME 3 SP DLC content. If not, it'll probably look a lot like DA 2 in another six months, from the SP perspective.

You already know your going to die right. Why not just jump out of a window and end it all?

The stuff in between is fun. That is all.

People can't compare this and say "Why did you buy LotSB" well the fact is, ME2 was not the end of Shepard's story so LotSB ACTUALLY expanded the story. We got to see more and (at the time) thought it would make a difference in ME3. But now that ME3 is out and BioWare screwed up we now know that there is no point

Or you can play the DLC for fun and learn a little bit more. I hate it how everyone things DLC has to have a point to it or affect another game. And who knows? Maybe there will be a ME4. They told us to keep our saves for a reason and I doubt they just meant for DLC.

I just realized LotSB doesn't add anything to the ending of ME2, I should probably delete it. But this weird feeling keeps me from doing that... I think they call it "having fun".

Do it, man. I did it too, a few minutes ago. I just realized that neither LOTSB or Overlord or any of the other DLC, had any influence on the ending, so now I can't have fun with them any more. It's impossible.


Sucks for you! I still LOVE the Kasumi DLC. Best Mass Effect DLC in my opinion! Woot! *off having fun*

Kasumi! :wub:

ME3 DLC; is to make money, they will make it with people blindly believing the DLC will change the ending when in reality it wont. Seeing as people are delusional they will buy it. bioware will make lots of $ and then they will release more pointless DLC that will make them money. the cycle will repeat.

I'm not buying it because i believe it will change the endings, i'm buying because i love the series, in spite of the atrocious endings, so yeah...:devil:
