Mass Effect 3

[Kyo]

Would like clarification on the DLC as well, I have all of it for xbox besides the ME 3 DLC.

[Moss]

Looks like Borderlands 2 is going to be the undoing of multiplayer. Everyone on my friend list for ME3 is playing BL2

[Aevis]

missing DLC from the trilogy package:

- ME1: bring down the sky + pinnacle station
- ME2: kasumi, overlord, shadowbroker, the arrival
- ME3: from ashes + leviathan

but don't worry, I'm sure there will be a GotY edition next year with everything included

[BaneTheBrawler]

so, they basically didn't include all the dlc that's actually relevant

[Brill Weave]

Are you actually surprised at Bioware/EA's decision to do so?

A new patch will be coming this week for Mass Effect 3 which will improve your gaming experience!

On X360 and PS3, you will be prompted to update your software, just confirm and wait for it to complete. On PC you will need to install the patch through Origin before you launch Mass Effect 3. Wait for it to complete installation before playing.

We expect the patch to be available Thursday this week, but will update when we have more information.

Its about time. Too bad this had to come after borderlands 2. Still no shop/item rarity adjustments/fix so not going to bother till the next MP DLC.

- ME1: bring down the sky + pinnacle station
- ME2: kasumi, overlord, shadowbroker, the arrival
- ME3: from ashes + leviathan

but don't worry, I'm sure there will be a GotY edition next year with everything included

I think the PS3 version of ME2 has all the DLC on the disc already except for Arrival.

[Pendulum]

Bring down the sky is available free for any PC players https://help.ea.com/article/mass-eff...dlc-redemption

Missing Shadow Broker isn't cool though. Neither is taking 7 months to fix some shit like the charge bug.

[Exoduso]

So basically that package is useless. I really don't understand why they would choose to leave out all the relavent DLC.... hell, charge 60, charge 70 for it, but put it in the bundle. What's the point of repackaging all games together, only to leave all of those additional content out? -____-

[Brill Weave]

To take more money out of your wallet dummy.

[Kisamoo]

Obviously, including all the DLC would cheapen the IP.

[Matthias]

- Fixed an issue when using Biotic Charge before death that caused the match to be unplayable afterwards

yay!!! i no longer have to host every damn match i'm in when i'm playing slayer!

- Fixed SMG Ultralight Materials Mod not having impact on power recharge speed

this is good too i'll have more options. good stuff, good update.

[Hank]

I'll buy the trilogy if it's super cheap on Black Friday. Otherwise, yeah, waiting for goty edition.

[Exoduso]

I'll buy the trilogy if it's super cheap on Black Friday. Otherwise, yeah, waiting for goty edition.

Because those have the DLC included? They'll manage to screw that up somehow also heh.

[Hank]

Yeah, my expectation is that they'll eventually release a goty trilogy with everything in it. If not, eh.

[Brill Weave]

I'm genuinely surprised that so many of you guys are going to pick this up. I really thought that Bioware's colossal fuck up with ME3 would turn a lot of people off towards the company. Very surprising.

[Hank]

I haven't played ME3. From what I understand, the game itself wasn't bad. Just a less than desirable ending. I mean, really, I may not even finish the game. But as long as I enjoyed what I did play, it doesn't matter to me.

[Lonely]

Doubt there will be a complete mass effect trilogy bundle with all DLC for a few years. Before that they will probably have DLC sales then eventually give a permanent price cut before the bundle. y'know milk it.

[Kyo]

The only reason to pick up that trilogy is if you haven't played the first and only have a PS3, all three can be purchased currently for $10 each due to sales, and not including the DLC in a "complete edition" is just plain dumb.

more on that;

The recently announced Mass Effect Trilogy collection from BioWare, which includes all three of the Mass Effect games, will include some, but not all, of previously released downloadable content. What content you get, oddly, is decided by which platform you choose to pick up the game on.

It only gets weirder from here, folks. Buckle up.

PC buyers of the Mass Effect Trilogy will receive the most content of the three platforms, as they’ll get ‘Bring Down the Sky’ and ‘Pinnacle Station’ for Mass Effect 1 via an additional add-on disc. Additionally, the day-one ME2 DLC Hub ‘Cerberus Network’ will be included, as will the online pass for ME3.

For Xbox 360 owners out there, well, you get the slightly shorter end of the stick. You won’t get any of the Mass Effect 1 DLC, but you will get the ME2 ‘Cerberus Network’ and the online pass for ME3.

For PlayStation 3 owners, well, we’re not honestly sure what end of the stick you get here, because BioWare has yet to decide. More information will be available “soon”, or so we’re told.

No matter which platform you choose, though, you’ll still have to throw down some cash if you want the additional content not included in any of the packages: ‘Lair of the Shadow Broker’, the ‘Overlord’ and ‘Kasumi’ packs for ME2, and the ‘Leviathan’ DLC for ME3.

Looks like this might have more of a Mass Effect on your wallet than you originally planned. But hey, it’s still cheaper than being a sucker consumer who bought all of the games at launch, as well as all the DLC since.
