I think she's rather sexy in that commander Shepard outfit.

Their Grunt is friggen awesome, looking forward to seeing Tali finished.

Has anyone bought the Overlord, Kasumi, or w/e weapon and armor pack DLC that has come out? Worth the money?

[Atreides]

is overlord up on XBL yet? I thought it came out tomorrow.

Also Kasumi is definitely worth it. Her mission is a lot of fun, and she's an awesome character.

I wouldn't waste my money on the weapon pack, considering the armor was free with some preorders.

[vrumpt]

i bought everything except the costume pack and Overlord DLC, but i intend to get Overlord DLC anytime between tomorrow and when i have some free time.

Kasumi's mission is by far the best loyalty mission in the game, so i have high hopes for Overlord to be even more amazing. The armor DLC purchase was basically my way of thanking Bioware for patching my X360 scanner; worth it for some classes though. I use the one head piece on my Sentinal.

>Implying they won't just CGI the whole fucking thing

[Atreides]

oh damn it is on marketplace, 560 points.

Between FF9, Overlord, and the massive sale they have going on XBL games tomorrow (if you dont have shadow complex, $7 is a great deal btw) my wallet is going to be hurting.

[Moss]

ffffuuuuuuuuuu I need to mail my 360 to be repaired asap

[ZarakiKujata]

I dont want to touch Me2 cause I know once I start again I won't stop until 2 playthroughs later..

edit: making this overlord business is particularly tempting..

[Tythera]

Kasumi is awesome and I love the Locust for my Infiltrators <3

Time to get Overlord pack I think, I've got everything done before the reaper IFF on the latest playthrough, maybe I'll wait to hear how it is

[Odesseiron]

Picked Overlord up tonight. Or bought it from Bioware, whatever. I'm a sucker for anything ME2 DLC related. I'm still playing through it after an hour. I'll give some initial thoughts. Basically as described, a Cerberus facility sends out a SOS and it's up to you to find out what's going on. You find out there's a rogue VI (there are more details as you play) and you need to find a way to stop it.

It's pretty straightforward for the most part. Run around in a compound, kill enemies, then go to your next destination in the Firewalker. There is some really nice scenery this time with exploring, and a couple of nice action music pieces. The story is nothing amazing, yet anyway. I doubt it gets to be anything OMGWTF, but it's okay for what it is. The enemies seem to deal out a bit more damage, so it's a little more challenging. The Firewalker sections can be irritating, only because the damn ship takes so little damage before blowing up. There's also extra credits and minerals to be found. Haven't seen any weapons or anything.

It's something like 7 bucks I think and adds 2.5 hours of playtime supposedly. If you're a ME2 junkie (like me) you'll buy it no matter what. I'll go through it every time I do a playthrough of the game, if only for the extra money.

Also; Bioware released the 1.02 patch for PC today. In it they lowered the amount of minerals needed for all upgrades. Not sure by how much yet. Either way, fine by me. The less scanning I have to do, the better. Also fixes various bugs.

[Atreides]

to be fair, this is only the 2nd pay DLC for ME2 unless you bought the game used, assuming you skipped the somewhat worthless alternate appearance pack and armor/weapon pack. 70 + 7 + 7 is better than fallout 3 and oblivion at least, so far.

Has anyone bought the Overlord, Kasumi, or w/e weapon and armor pack DLC that has come out? Worth the money?

Kasumi and "Overlord"? Definitely. The Kasumi mission is kinda James Bondish initially with you and her inflitrating a upscale dinner party, then some combat afterwards. Also it gives you the best Submachine Gun in the game, the Locust. It's good enough that you can skip Assault Rifle training on a job like Vanguard.

Kasumi is a great character. Her "shadow strike" ability makes her teleport across the room and Sneak Attack enemies. This is great for bigger enemies since it makes them turn away from you for a few seconds. Also she has Flash Grenades that temporarily stun/blind enemies. You can learn that from her via Advanced Training.

Few random pics from the Kasumi DLC:

Overlord was cool but less RPG/decision making and more combat orientated. Some vehicle combat too in the Hammerhead, which was ok I guess. No weapons/armor from this DLC. Only upgrade was a Heavy Skin Weave.

Fun DLC. Finished in about 2hours. Final boss was a bit too easy as an Infiltrator but overall, was not disappointed with it. Looking forward to more DLC for ME2. I felt so rusty playing it again after finishing the game almost 3 months ago.

[Atreides]

Took me about 2 hours to finish Overlord as well. Kasumi is great against synthetic enemies so she was a nice fit for this if you're putting off using her until you start another playthrough, like me (although I'm pretty sure I should have picked something besides Shadow Strike and her power recharge skills to max out, and gotten overload). There are no rewards in terms of armor/weapons, just a mess of credits and some resources, as well as a 6th Heavy Skin Weave (another 10% health) upgrade for Shepard. You get 15 achievement points for finishing the mission, and another 10 if you do some little collecting quest in the hub-type hammerhead area between objectives.

All in all I felt this one was a little overpriced. Kasumi cost 7 bucks as well, and you got a great character as well as an amazing weapon, with a mission that took roughly the same amount of time. The story for Overlord was good, but to a certain extent it felt like just another mission. IMO $5 would have been a more reasonable price point, but as I've said previously I don't mind spending money on this since it's only the 2nd DLC I've had to pay for so far.

Also, it was nice they incorporated the Hammerhead, although I really wish they'd patch it so it has a little more resilience. It's kinda ridiculous that my adept Shepard has better shields than that thing, lol. It's not as frustrating as the combat missions that came with Hammerhead though.

I finished Overlord tonight. Ho. Lee. Shit. Some of the downright creepiest stuff I've ever played. And the ending...

Spoiler: show

Seeing the poor guy, scarred, poked full of holes, eyes pried open with tears streaming down his face...the musical score...and the voice acting...absolutely perfect and chilling scene. Also disturbs you to find out that all those scary and creepy garbled messages from the AI the whole mission was the guy actually saying "Please make it stop."

[Tyrath]

Kasumi was fun as hell to use the whole time. I'm glad I played this after her DLC was already out. Just got the Overlord DLC started. Going to one of the first 2 stations now, should be fun.

[Boyiee]

Are all of you playing sentinels and infiltrators? lol

Gonna DLC this and probably start a new character and shit as well. Lost someone on my original playthrough and I want all to live.

[Atreides]

I played it on Adept, I still need to finish the last 3 DLCs on my Engineer and Soldiers, as well as at least one more playthrough before ME3 lol
