Story is as essential to a good game as game-play itself. With design being a third element that also exists in the ingredients for a good game, graphics playing a minor part in the overall visual design. A story doesn't have to always be deep and engrossing, but it does have to exist to keep most players engaged. Any developer that wants to ignore that fact that any game needs to have a story driving the game-play is rather ignorant.

Can't wait to play this on a console. Though wow there are a lot of angry PC players. It's rather amusing to read their comments.

Good news. Love to see Valve finally take a hit.

@Hrel **** that. Long live EA!

@lokar82 Ah, a Valve crapware fanboy.

Can't wait to get this. I loved Mass Effect 3 and I'll enjoy playing more of it with this DLC.

Wonderful article. But, don't try to rationalize with gamers. 80% of all gamers are self entitled idiots that just want everything their way.

I find the rumor of no backwards compatibility on the next-gen PlayStation more disturbing than the rumor of any anti-used game measure.
