I am disappointed.

Before you start bashing on people with different opinions, note, that this thread is for constructive criticism.

3 min missions of pointless hovering over yellow marks to get money or minerals (lol) and mindless run and gun whatever little enemies are there. And no... These missions are NOWHERE near 90 mins lol, not even the 5 missions combined.

Edit: What is the point of having team selection if you never interact with your team, nor will they talk during the missions while you're in the HH or when you exit HH?

Edit: There are no saves during the mission, so if you got to the very end and go KABOOOM! you have to start all over again... Thought that was fixed from Mass Effect 1...

Edit: When firing rockets, a lot of the time they choose what enemy they wanted to hit, even though you are looking at a target 30 feet in a different direction.

Edit: Shepard can take more damage than the damn HH itself...

Edit: If BioWare/EA think of this DLC in any way challenging, it's not. I can stand far enough from a Collosus or groups of Geth and missle them to death without ever taking on a 'real' challenge

For the people saying well it's free so stop being ungreatful jerks/morons/idiots etc etc... Yes it may be free, but I would prefer that BioWare would make DLC paid and spend more time and effort instead of making it free and just throwing out ideas to please us.

Although I am disappointed with BioWare's DLC lately, I still am a huge fan and will love BioWare's games regardless of the DLC, and very much appreciate the gifts they give us.

Here's a poll

On topic: I still haven't got the dlc, so...it's that really short? no real planet exploration like in ME?

No, because it's free. And free means you don't get an opinion.
Really, that's inevitably what some people are going to say.

Fanboism at its finest, and I thought 40k was the most antagonizing fanbase around.

Not fanboyism, well, at least not really.
I'll acknowledge that Bioware has it's problems, but the constant complaining of free content is really aggrivating.

why does free have anything to do with it? it is content bioware created and should be criticized like all other content they create.



i do think people are just itching to complain about the disparity between ME1 and ME2. some people just like to moan even if everyone already knows what they think.

My appologies, but you're right, our tone is treading a little close to innapropriate.

What the OP and myself are getting at is that for what this DLC was described to be, it doesn't quite live up to that.  Is it a fun little free diversion? Sure I guess, but I'd rather pay the devs more money to get a good, long experience that actually integrates in some meaningful way with the game proper, or at least fits in a bit more snugly with it.  I'm also not really digging the 'gamy-ness' of the hammerhead, it feels out-of-place in the universe, and pales in comparison to the functionality of the mako.

A good example of good DLC is the 'bring down the sky ' from ME1, that one was so inter-connected with ME2 and had such a well-developed story that it stands head and shoulders above anything that's been released for ME1 or 2 since.  More of that, less of this, please and thank you.

The title of this thread is talking about Disappointments with the Hammerhead DLC.

Center your discussion around that, if you can't, then this'll get closed for a more DLC centered discussion ala http://social.biowar...3/index/1863444

And explain how this is fanboism?

Urban Dictionary of Fanboy/Fanboism:

Fanboi is a derogatory term used to describe gamers who prefer a single
product over all others despite any flaws or problems their choice may
have.

1. A person who is completely loyal to a game or company reguardless of
if they suck or not.

2. A pathetic insult often used by fanboys themselves to try and put
down people who don't like whatever it is they like.


GG. Ok lets stop this immature stuff. Like Javier said, keep it under control and mature posting

The way I figure, people who've managed to download the bloody thing have nothing to complain about... I'm disappointed because my download is stuck at 99% complete.
I find it funny that the Mass Effect forum is the most negative place on the internet with regards to the ME games themselves. Now I remember why I stopped coming here.

Exactly. It's not about that it's free or not, just how high they get your expectations and what disappointed you get in the end. Like PilotJoe said, is it a free little diversion? Yes it is, but not what you expect

The point is that people are going to complain no matter what comes out. It's to the point now where it doesn't even resonate. People should be allowed to critcize and people should be allowed to praise. But it seems that if you praise something then you are considered a fanboy.

I fully and entirely agree and I assure you, I am just as disappointed in this DLC as you are. To the point of "I am Outraged!"
Having a vehicle in a game to me, means that it must incorporate all the other existing forms of gameplay as well as being RELEVANT to the existing story.
Driving around in a moving "Loading Bar" and playing Courier for Cerberus to me is well, unacceptable. When they said they would take longer on making the Hammerhead and release it late, I thought, oh good, they're going to make it really good, and have lots of story. Then I heard that you couldn't exit the vehicle but then my optimism kicked in and said, ...."Alright, well it'll atleast incorporate into the missions well"  But the "missions" involve very little other than waiting on a spot for a pickup, and destroying generators. This is the kind of mindless gameplay that existed back in 1992. I would've hoped for more involved gameplay especially coming from BioWare, Especially coming with the Mass Effect franchise.

I feel they really botched this one. Back in ME1, the vehicle really felt like a vehicle, a means to transport you across hazardous surfaces to where you, your team needed to go, which was properly and Realistically armed. Then all of a sudden, you have rapid fire rockets, and no machine gun to take care of infantry, this to me is just...out of place and feels very obtuse in an otherwise fluid universe.  I'm very very disappointed with this DLC.

i think people are most disappointed because they thought hammerhead was going to replace the mako for substantial planety exploration. hammerhead has nothing to do with the mako and is more akin to a swoop racing mini-game than planety exploration.

Sorry, Bioware needs to know what we think ...... but is it better to give constructive opinions rather than just non-specifically bashing it.
