good stuff, Bioware. i enjoyed the "Stolen Memories" DLC.



Thanks for a reasonably priced (at least to a working adult in his 30s, i guess) which delivered about an hour of game play and gave me an incentive to replay the whole game just to see how Kasumi will pan out in the various missions.



My only gripe is, if she is Japanese, should the spelling not be "Katsumi" instead?

Incorrect, kasumi is a common japanese name, and the term means "mist".  Katsumi or kasumi, it doesn't really matter.

i stand corrected. My JLPT days were over 10 years ago so i am rather out of practice. There is a "su" hiranga character for sure although for some reason, majority of Japanese people, as far as i can tell, usually use "tsu" instead of just "su".

The reason why i appear to be nitpicking, if you are interested, is that us peeps in the East always get names etc misspelt, misinterpreted, translated wrongly etc and it is really kind of annoying, know what i mean?

[tenshi_no_hone]

most japanese people don't use tsu when they mean su. It's a phonetic alphabet, the say it how it's written, albeit with a couple of exceptions. The most obvious one being dropping the terminal u sound in the end of words, particularly from su in words such as desu.

I lived there for a few years and i really didn't notice much of a su-tsu blurring by anyone.

EDIT: Katsumi is still a name, but it means something different - so Kasumi fits the character better

Well... Kasumi was nice add on 2 hours of play but not much to resurrect game 4 a long time.

Question is: What next? Any plans? Any schedule 4 next releases or game is dead until EP3?

Whel, there is one armor to be released I think, you know the one we saw on the Arch Projector screenshot, and a few alternate appearance packs will come too.

And hopefully they also release the pre-order dlc stuff (incisor rifle, inferno armor and terminus gear). <_<

C'mon BioWare, give us some more stuff plix. I'm starting to get bored with ME2.

[DnVill]

The best thing about the Kasumi DLC is that my Shepard can finally get drunk around the Normandy xD hehehe



There should be new dialogs when Shepard talks to people while he/she's drunk XD

[Someone With Mass]

I just hope the next thing is something big and not just some armor or weapon. A expansion with more dialogs for characters/squad mates, more missions and something to do after you've completed the main story that doesn't feel tacked on or pointless because you've already saved the day.



At least give us something like that or info about one. One of the founders of BioWare said in a interview that they are going to support ME2 until it's not needed/wanted anymore. So it can't be over already, can it?

[bobito64]

It looks like Bioware are definitely going for quantity over quality where DLC is concerned. The Kasumi DLC was fairly pointless. Why would Shepard want a theif on board? The idea is to destroy the collector station, not burgle it.

Please Bioware, let's have things that contribute to the story from now on, not detract from it.

Well, Kasumi is quite usefull in the Collector base. I also think that Cerberus wanted her because of her infiltration and tech skills. Too bad that she doesn't have a dialogue wheel. She is way more interesting than for example Miranda.

But I have to agree. Take your time, BioWare. I'm not going anywhere if you deliver the good stuff.

You only encounter (fight) the Collectors three times. They're supposed to be the main enemy. Why Bioware didn't integrate them more into Shepard collecting his party is a huge misstep. Since the Collectors were aiding the Vorcha they could have appeared then (imagine Shepard having to escape from a doomed Omega). They could have appeared when Shepard picked up Grunt or Jack. In ME1 the Geth appeared numerous times throughout the game. In ME2, the Collectors are more of a stopgap between chapters. I'd like to see dlc that concerns the Collectors, more engagements with the Collectors, more armor pieces that actually protect the wearer, and raise that level cap.

Yep. One of the DLC's I'd really love to see would basically info from Cerberus about a Collector exchange, slaves-for-tech, with, oh, let's say, the Blue Suns. You start the DLC fast and heavy with the Hammerhead, blasting through some base's outer defenses and maybe facing off a gunship as that section's boss. (I just hope that there's auto-save points this time.)

Then, you move on-foot into an indoor area, fighting through both Collector and Blue Sun forces, and then make some sort of moral choice about whether to pursue the escaping Blue Suns and their slaves, or the Collectors for intel/tech, ending with a fight between you and either another gunship or a Praetorian (I've always been disappointed that one didn't even show up in the Collector base--they're such fun, challenging, interesting creatures, and perhaps the most alien things in the entire series) and manage to salvage, say, a shield-breaking heavy pistol for your trouble. 

...Um, that was rather more detailed and thought-out than I thought it would be. I really need to find something else to occupy my time with.

It si just the pattern from before - from ME1 - main missions you have Feros, Noveria and Virmir, then Ilos. In ME2 - Freedom's Progress, Horyzont, collectors ship and final mission - not so much for main plot, I agree.Especally, ME1 locations were much bigger. But this is main plot of the game. I don't thint tis sould be expanded in DLC.



What was gereat in ME2 - the secon plot, very important - gathering the team. There were a lot of great various missions fot team members.



What I miss is just background - additional side missions, soemthing Shepard could help in different ways - depending of choices, whre RPG will be mixed with action. Truly, I'm not interested in action only. It is killing the game spirit.

[Someone With Mass]

I want some more dialog options for my squad mates for the planet scan side missions, because it's awfully quiet sometimes when something big just happened.

[DKeith 357]

Good DLC, thanks for making us earn our new loot thru a mission and not just having it handed to us as a christmas present from TIM, also like that the building and setting were not just re-uses from the already built game

Note: have noticed that after each character mission kasumi has something new to say, you just have to click thru a line of generic speech to get to it.

Yeah, I liked Kasumi DLC,too. But despite the quality of this one, the next DLC has really to be longer. At least, I had thought while playing, there had to be one additional setting and mission to win her loyalty. In all the other paths to win loyalty of team members, there had been two missions.

[masseffectfan22]

I hope that we get some good reasonably priced DLC in the future.

I agree. The game has become even more of a shooter, albeit dummied down to the point of noobishly easy, and the impact your character has on the game is just a matter of "be a jerk, or be nice" plus clicking an icon that pops up during cut scenes...sorry, but that was really corny...
The immersion was less in ME2 for me than ME1...even though I know many people really enjoyed the picking up of all the squad members.
I would prefer less squad members, with more in depth stories, and a bigger main plot.
I did not buy the DLC, and will wait on an expansion and/or ME3 until after I read a lot of feedback and reviews.

Bought both DLCs but I'm still waiting on a pack or two for a second play through.

Is there something in the pipeline?
