I would too.  ME2 takes about 25 hours in a casual play through.  I'd pay full price for a 20 hour Liara xpac.

A $10 DLC mission pack where Liara gives you a new mission, even if you throw in a new gun and armor piece?  Nah, I'll pass.

Realistically though, I think it'd be extraordinarily difficult to write 20 hours centering around a single character like that.  Nevermind the inevitable outcry for Tali/Geth related expansions as well.

OT: I'd pay $5-8 for Kasumi.

Well technically it would be about the whole SB story arc, but obviously that heavily implies Liara.

Tali would be more than welcome to come along for the ride. 

And actually, I would think the Quarian/Geth conflict is actually bigger than the SB story arc and could consitute its own game that takes place after the ME trilogy.  So I'd be down with that.

I think it will play some importance in ME3 but I doubt we'll see the conclusion of it.  I could see a Tali/Legion spinoff being profitable.

Seriously I just looked at my transaction history with Blizzard. Having recently pulled the WoW-needle from my arm the whole thing is quite heart breaking. Blizzard has more of my money than I do...



In an epic flip-flop, Kasumi is a bargain, dialogue wheel or no! Bioware should send Blizzard a thank you e-mail for their ability to give me some perspective.

well damn you actually did it,
2 hours of slated content is not that much, realistically speaking 400 ms points seems quite fair and 800 seems rather steep 1200 is on the very high end and 1600 would be outrageous.

400 MS points or five dollars is what would pay for it, and is probably the price that will get the majority of the gamers approval, acceptance, and loyality 

Approval? Acceptance? Loyalty?!?!

As far as I'm concerned they've lost all of that with this little scheme of making us pay for another Zaeed-style companion.

As long as it's 5€ or less I'll get it 'cause I'm a sad little completionist and I want a complete Normandy, but whatever other paid DLC they'll shove out I'll ignore - and I would've bought all of it. I'm successfully boycotting Ubisoft, so don't think this is some empty speech.

They being the Mass Effect team. I'll get ME3 to complete the trilogy, but whatever other games they plan for this universe I won't even consider getting until their attitude changes considerably.

I'm so freakin' sick of being fed nothing but lies ranging from "a dozen companions? we never said that."
 to "Asari really aren't what we actually say they are, so there is no lesbian romance in ME." Which I know doesn't have much to do with the Kasumi issue, but both stem from an attitude I never thought I'd see at BioWare.

The DA team has had a few weird justifications here and there, but all in all they are the perfect image of honesty (and community interaction), which bears loyalty. Not so the ME team's desperate catering to the fickle masses of bigotted insecure white male teenage console shooter fans. (I know that's generalizing it, but that's who's apparently flooding BSN.)

Worst of all I don't even have it in me to put the blame on EA for anything but the existence of DA:O console versions.

[kennyme2]

Considering that the Kasumi adds about an hour and a half, I'd say 5 bucks would be reasonable. Also, most of us have beaten the game so if we want to fully experience her character then we would need to restart the game to get her early dialogue in missions and what not. Not worth it imo.

There are a few pictures going around now...

I think I'm one of those Mass Effect fans that'll happy dish out money for content or any ME stuff in general. But with the free Firewalker pack late in March and Kasumi in April, I'm going to be a happy camper. I think the $5-8 price range sounds about right from what I've read about what is offered.

[Jackal904]

All I know is that I'm very muching looking forward to any ME2 DLC. While I'm sure Kasumi will be awesome, from now on I hope that BioWare focuses on DLC containing lots of new missions and new dialogue for squadmates. I think we have enough squadmates, heavy weapons, and armour by now, not that I don't appreciated all of them, I'm just say'n.

I'm in the same boat as you.

Change of heart.



Ill buy it, If Kasumi is an interesting LI and this comes out to be worth whatever it is the price tag is.



I imagine they are angling for the Zevran, rouge style character with Kasumi. She could be interesting.

[GothamLord]

Well the next big DLC after Kasumi and the Hammerhead is the rumored Liara vs the Shadow Broker that ties it with the ending of the comic. After that anything fair game for speculation.

[RiouHotaru]

...Why is it people completely ignored the Dev posting in here saying that Kasumi was not "cut" from the game. She was built from the ground up. A few ambient dialogue lines and a placeholder model does not equal "cut from the game" Plus, the only reason Zaeed was available from the start was because he was developed likely while they were doing ME2 development.



I mean c'mon, what's wrong with $5-$8 for a character? Is it really going to hurt you financially? So far Bioware has come through beautifully with a rather steady supply of DLC for us. Give them some credit. Besides, the $5-$8 bucks for Kasumi gets us a LOT more than what we paid for Bring Down the Sky or Pinnacle Station...

[Crossofthorns]

$8

[mortons4ck]

$5 max

but only if it includes a recruitment mission as well as a loyalty mission.

well, the above was an initial reaction. since I'll get it, I suppose they'll have that chance to convince me that there's enough value in this compared to their free stuff (meaning considerably more than in Zaeed) to justify it being paid.

edit: I don't expect them to succeed, though.

That's going to be difficult if she doesn't have dialog.

Edit: Anyway, as I said in the thread in general, unless I hear really good things about Kasumi, I'm not going to buy it at all. The only reason I have Zaeed is because Zaeed was free. And for a free offering, he was pretty decent. But when I make the psychological jump to paying money for a product, I expect more content in that product than I would if the product was a freebie.

[blasto lives]

From what I've seen so far, I value it at $3. If it is $5, my general pro-Bio/pro-ME stance would probably lead me to buy it. At $7, it is an easy "no" for me.

With no dialogue wheel (i.e. no conversation choices or chance to influence the character) Kasumi won't be very "emotionally engaging." And we already have a very full roster of squadmates. Will the new SMG be a placeholder until we get the Tempest, or will it be a legitimate and unique option for SMG-users? I also have serious doubts about the "90-minute" claim. Anyone familiar with the DA:O DLC must also be a bit wary - I'm expecting more like 45-60 minutes. Anyway, if it costs anything more than 240-320 pts, I'm going to need to see some positive reviews before I purchase.

[Sad Dragon]

No dialogue? well in that case i would have to say that Michael Gamble talk about the worth of the characters has been overplayed quite a bit. SMG while nice isnt worth that much tbh. One loyalty mission while nice is just one mission. If by any chance the mission will take 90 min to play through then it is atleast a long mission and also hopefully entertaining in the process. I am however afraid i will have to agree with blasto lives when it comes to the time it takes to play through it.



Tbh, why no dialogue? Are the writers getting lazy? :/



/TSD

[GothamLord]

Yeah the writers are lazy. Not like there is a 35+ Hour ME3 script to write or anything compared to a 60min DLC.

[Sad Dragon]

Fair enough, it could just be bioware on a whole that is lazy and dosnt want to give the DLC the effort it needs. A character is quite heavy in the writing department however - if you want to make a full character so i just assumed that it was the writers that got lazy especialy after parts of what i would call lazy writing in ME2. Dont get me wrong they did a fantastic job over all - just got lazy on a few places.

Might be the marketing department or EA that wants the DLC out fast as well. But i assume the Writers had to write dialogue for all the stuff she will have in her room so...



/TSD

[GothamLord]

EA is who stamped on the release date to the game. I firmly believe, even if the Devs deny it because they have to with EA contracts, forced the game to come out earlier than was originally planned. I have no solid evidence other than EA's track record to be used as example, but this is my belief.

[tehprincessJ]

As long as this game continues to hold my interest, and BW continues to feed it with new content of any kind, I'm willing to pay for it. My hope is that they use our money to create even more DLC. ****ing about a price tag on game add-ons is just silly. If you aren't willing to pay for it, you don't need it, do you?

I think we can all agree, that regardless of what exists of Kasumi "stubbs" in-game, before the 'Normandy Crash' and 'Zaeed', the 'Hammerhead', and anything else they come up with, that 'Mass Effect 2' was a complete experience all on its own. Your origanal purchase doesn't entitle you to anything beyond the base game.

The perks we get for using the Cerberus Network were all incentives for us to register (EA is a little radical regarding piracy). I've never felt that every single bit of content developed for the game after release should only be for this purpose, or that implementing the Cerberus Network would mean that all DLC for ME2 was going to be free.

[The Angry One]

The sheer lack of weapon variety for SMG and pistol users does not point to a "complete experience".

Especially as now we see they intend to charge for that variety.

[FsDxRAGE]

i will pay anything if BioWare makes something for ME2. The more money they charge, the higher quality

[DirtyVagrant]

On the Mass Effect wikia page for Kasumi, they have a link to a site that says Kasumi will cost 560 MS points. 500 MS points is $6.25. So yeah, don't know how authentic that is.

[GothamLord]

Yeah not sure were they got that number from. If its true though its around the $7 limit I set for being willing to shell out. So all is good for me if thats the case.
