I hate to ask a question that's probably been asked five trillion times already. I've tried to find an answer on my own before asking but I can't find one.

Why? Why are we there? Aria emails us and we're off? Is that it? What justifies stopping your war efforts for this?

Eh...I was very pumped for this but I think iI'll pass for now, maybe buy it along with last SP story DLC. Definitely not getting it today as I planned.

Do not get me wrong, this is a good DLC. I enjoyed it and I will continue to do so when I play through the series again and again. However, the price tag is simply too high for what content was added. I only went with it because I figured this would raise the bar past LOTSB. It did not. Omega is not a new hub and there is no post-main quest content to be had. What side quests were there amounted to approximately three fetch quests, one of which, and I kid you not, was to find Aria's couch for the Elcor merchant from ME2.

lol

Yeah, don't worry man you didn't discourage me or anything, it's just I'm a little bit dry on the gaming side now and I kind of got into the hype again but after opinions it hit me that I wasn't even that interested in Omega or Aria in the first place, and the price tag...well. I think I'll just wait.

I'd say it's LotSB-tier DLC, but not Awakenings-tier...which means it's overpriced.

You do understand that counters you arguement agenst the dlc being how many people loved lotsb.

Resourses for the war. The obvious anwser.

Seems fun.

I would not even go that far. LOTSB contributed heavily to the flavor of the Mass Effect Universe. You find out details about many of the most important characters, much of which is quite relevant. It also adds resource options to the gameplay that made resource collecting less of a chore. This DLC did nothing more than offer a little more perspective on a character that, while I enjoyed, was not nearly as relevant as the Shadow Broker.

Uh...no. Since LotSB was $7-10 (depending on when you bought it) and Awakenings was $15, same as Omega.

I said above it's fun to play, and probably would've been worth a LotSB-type price point, but there is definitely not enough there to justify a $15 price tag.

Well, glad I waited for reviews, coz there's no chance in hell I'm wasting $15 on this.

[AresKeith]

I still think the price is a test to see who would buy anything

Allow me to offer a word of warning for everyone as well. Explore EVERYTHING and save often. If you make the mistake of going too far or going one direction first, you could easily be locked out of completing the fetch quests. I failed 2 of the 3 for this very reason.

There was a chance in hell beforehand? The last I saw, you seemed pretty aggressively against it.

So, why Cerberus was so interested in Omega? What about the Collector Base?

Why cerberus is interested in omega is in the comic. What happened with the collector base is in the general plot already.

Worst argument ever, be it a fan or dev making it.

I'm fine with them making side material. But if that material is required to understand something in a game they did it worng. The game has to at least cover the basics itself, and hope that it's enough to get the people playing to buy the extra stuff.

Agreed.  Side material should be more for extra enjoyment but unneeded in order to understand the story.  Part of the problem is that such side material is often not well done and yet the devs still hype it as if it's just great (Deception and Casey Hudson, for example) and part of it is you are buying a game so presumably you want to play a game and not be forced into buying comic books and movies and such just to understand what you already bought.  It's also a nasty fact that BW has a penchant for releasing content after the fact to explain what you just played.  The timing of all of the backstory crap is way off.

Besides, I really do think Omega should have been in the original game, just as Leviathan should have.  However, it's still crazy to think Shepard should drop everything to take back a rock when it's already known that nothing but the Crucible will save everyone.  Especially not when Shepard has been really good about ignoring whole colonies that have been obliterated.  I loved Omega in ME2 and wanted more of it in ME3, as a hub, but it doesn't make sense like this.

And that is the problem with this dlc, isn't it. I, like many fans (and Bioware, that is in love), like Aria but she isn't a powerhouse to deserve a DLC.

Sad, I don't think this dlc will sell well.

So when are we going to get our take back the earth DLC? Because everyone knows that's the one we all are want.

Mmmm.  I just don't get why Shepard is just Aria's mindless poodle.  I mean, yeah, we tell ourselves "war resources" as the motivation for Shepard going, but it doesn't sound like it's of any help against the Reaper War, which is the main conflict of the game.  Just feels like Aria outranks Hackett for no reason and there's no real in-story reason for us to be holding pep rallies in Afterlife while Earth is kinda getting shot to hell.

Awakenings did not launch at $15. In fact it  $40, to your referance to cost vs quality. It's not like people did not complain about the cost of the lotsb dlc.

I had mixed-emotions. As I do with pretty much everything relating to ME3 nowadays.

I had hope. More than I should've.

They increased the price of their story dlc across the board.  Compare ME3's to ME2.

Normally I'd defend a price hike in the climate that the gaming industry's in, but I think pushing that envelope with this DLC was a bad move---even if Omega really is noticeably larger in size compared to the other $10 DLC.  Make it a bargain, instead of just barely justifiable at the price tag.

I've never been really interested in Aria, but the could add something else to the story. imo, what's really bad is that the DLC is retaking omega period

Aria explains in the DLC that one advantage to helping her is the impact that Shepard will have on Cerberus influence. Omega is the capital of the Terminus Systems and controlling it has given them access to a very large section of the galaxy that they are free to use as they see fit. If Shepard cuts off Omega, the loss of the Terminus Systems would have a significant impact on the war against Cerberus. The War Assets help, but she does make an interesting point about the value of Omega as a strategic asset.
