Was on board at the beginning, all like "hey, there might actually be a lot of CAM in this", then as it went on I started cringing. Aria as an inspirational leader making speeches to a united band of ruffians is insanely dumb. Every line in that trailer was painfully cheesy even by ME standards. Who writes this ####?
well having such a terrible ending for the Mass Effect trilogy has at least one benefit. with ME3 sapping any enjoyment or interest in the franchise, i get to save some money on all this DLC
Any DLC for ME3 will be pre-ending, for the simple fact that you wouldn't be able to use your Shepard post-ending.
I must be the only person here who doesn't get angry about the ending. It happened, it wasn't the greatest, move on, enjoy the new content. (I thought Leviathan was a great addition to the story)
Omega is good. It is expensive ($15) and I'd be recommending it a lot harder if it was $10. I like the characters, the action (although I really should have played it on a harder difficulty than Normal) and the setting. Took me about 2-4 hours.
I enjoyed Leviathan too. Omega is very different from it, thankfully.
I'm done being butthurt over the ending. There's only so much I can complain about it. :-P
Omega is okay but far from great. It's not poor, but it is a bit disappointing. The fights and other content in Leviathan were far better. Omega is mostly just a series of easy battles and very cliched video game objectives. Like, shut down this thing so you can get to the next thing, without much in the way of story content or interesting environments.
Even Aria is fairly boring in it.
Can't really recommend it at that price. I don't know why it's more expensive. It doesn't feel more expensive.
It took me about twice as long as Leviathan. I thought graphically Omega was pretty good, wish you got to explore more, like after the story arc ended. I'd have loved to see them rebuilding. And I'd have liked to learn more about Nyreen other than her connection to Aria.
I actually thought the fighting must have been easy because I play a lot of ME3 MP (as my Shepard's class especially), but a lot of people said the same thing. So I dunno.
The fights and the environments were definitely more interesting in Leviathan. The battles don't need to be hard, but I'd like there to be some variety.
The more I think about it, the more it bugs me. Supposedly this was the biggest DLC to date - and it isn't. I don't know where they spent their resources. Not a single environment where you want to look around, two characters, none of your normal companions, the three "side quests" were a joke.
It feels lazy. It's okay in a way but I wish they'd done something more substantial.
i'd be curious to see the sales numbers for ME3 DLC. it would be interesting to see if there are others like myself who bought every pack available for ME2, but none for the third game

I wouldn't be surprised. After the ending a lot of people have said they're done with Mass Effect (or at least Shepard's story), and/or the ending makes pre-ending DLC a moot point, which is fair. While I loved Leviathan and Omega at full price, I think they're at least worth playing if you can get them on sale.
From Ashes though? I'm not even sure I'd buy that on sale. I like Javik, but he wouldn't be horribly missed, either. He came with my collector's edition but I'd have been really annoyed if I spent $ on that DLC on its own...

ya i think the only way i can get back into that universe is if the next game is set several decades or even centuries after ME3. i really love the universe that Bioware created, but man did they ever butcher the Shepherd storyline
oh and i'll only buy another ME game if they come out and say from the start that it's a pre-determined story. if they try to sucker people in with more "choose your own story" BS then i won't even bother
Bioware has a poll where they are asking the fans whether the next game should be a prequel or a sequel to the ME trilogy (it was posted on IGN, wasn't a joke).
So basically the next game has no story but they are making it anyway.
I'd want a prequel featuring the earlier war that Sheppard cut his teeth in with pirates.
But not sheppard.
we know what happened then. i want a brand new story far enough in the future to separate itself from Shepherd completely. if Bioware keeps trying to milk the current trilogy then i won't even bother
