Mass Effect 3

[Pendulum]

Probably last operation? 140 hours to complete as of posting

Operation: LODESTAR (Mar 5th-10th)

We are coordinating the largest-scale attack in the brief history of this war. N7 unit actions will pave the way for resistance and conventional forces trying to retake the population centers of our homeworlds. There is no retreat. When an objective is finished or a target destroyed, you will immediately focus on the next. Our assets will provide cover to network ships that will update your targets in real-time. Rally points are at your disposal in the event that all space assets meet with catastrophic casualties. From there, you will fight as your CO sees fit or until further orders arrive.

I cannot fully express my deep respect for all of you, the sapients of the Milky Way who serve together under our banner. When future generations look back on this war, they will see the courage and commitment it takes to change the fate of a galaxy. It has been a hard road, but at last: the end is in sight.

Finish it.

Citadel DLC was awesome, really damn funny. I didn't bother with the other ones but this one piqued my interest and I'm definitely glad I did. I'll probably play through it 2 more times with a couple of different saves to see what changes. Are the other DLCs this good?

If only they put this much effort into the ending. /beating that dead horse

[Prothescar]

i've just subscribed to the Indoctrination Theory and called it a day on the ending. can't wait to play through the Citadel DLC!

[Rulke]

Day late to post this. But Day 1! I am sold.

Edit: fuck its out now! DLing!

[Mots]

PUG Platinums. Can't wait.

I shit you not the first 4 PUG platinums I did went off swimmingly and got my operation done. Then for the next 6 hours I was only able to complete 2. 6 hours wasted. Fucking rage.

This DLC is filled with hilarious dialogue from all of the squadmates in some pretty damn big fights. It started off slow but I'm in the middle of what is I assume the final dungeon and its pretty awesome.

Shit got real, spoilered for big

Spoiler: show

[Kisamoo]

Bring EDI to the final confrontation for a hilarious scene during the ride over. It should be obvious when this is.

Citadel is by far the best DLC in the series. The normal story is great overall and about 3-4 hours long but it had a absolute shit overall plot because, well you probably can guess what was retarded. The fan service in the DLC is the amazing however, the post main mission character events span around 2-5 hours. There is also tons of post dlc stuff to do at the strip.

The combat arena delivers beyond expectations. You can fight with every alive ME1/2/3 squad member, and its a mix Arcturus station and ME3 MP. I'll write a bit more about this later.

Are the other DLCs this good?

No, they are good but no where near as great as citadel.

[Tyrath]

That was definitely the best Mass Effect 3 DLC ever. Had a normal DLC length mission, but then there was a couple hours of interaction with all the characters. The arena is cool, being able to play old characters. The party was an amazing way for me to say goodbye to the series and all its characters. Wish Thane could've been there. (Mordin had a few messages left for the party).

Some highlights of the drunkfest that the party was for people who don't want to pay for the DLC or can't be bother to play. 56k Warning

lol never noticed but James is such a tool in that last photo. Also, I didn't get a friggen monster at my party! D:

[Tyrath]

Oh sorry. The monster was from Jack's visit earlier. It snuck into my upload from my pics so I just left it because it was funny.

[Rulke]

Only been able to play in short bursts for the new DLC, but of course on Brooks

Spoiler: show

I knew she was a tool, for how great ME3 is its retarded how obvious some things are. Didn't they do this already with Shadowbroker? Oh well -_-

[Kisamoo]

lol the whole adventure kind of felt like a comedy because of all the one liners and fan service, not to mention the identity of the final boss. In fact, the only palatable outcome is that the best sushi place in the Citadel is gone and that Shepherd is always getting into these kinds of situations so no one is ever really surprised or taken aback by the whole thing. One of my favorite parts (near the end) was when

Spoiler: show

they get trapped in the archives and he's going on about how he has better one liners then casually asks Glyph to free them.

[Tyrath]

^ I loved that. Garrus was freaking out for me, and Sheps just like whatever.

Also concerning Brooks

Spoiler: show

She says at one point that Shepard should've just died at the sushi place. Then how come she fucking took the bullet for him?! Makes no sense.

[Rulke]

Taking Wrex along made this whole story worthwhile (though I enjoyed all of it pretty much). He could more or less much solo everything and I found myself competing with him for kills, heh.

[Brill Weave]

Does the rocket glitch still work? I'd rather not spend X hours working on getting clears for the event.

[Lonely]

[Tyrath]

I really wonder how many different dialogues they have scripted for the party seeing as only 5 people are automatically invited and you can mix and match the rest :<
