How is For Ashes essential? All it is is a 45 minuet mission (at best) and contains a Prothean character who was a disappointment all around. He said some interesting things about the Protheans, but ultimately was useless and reminded me almost of Kratos, meaning, he wasn't that great of a character. Basically, all you got from For Ashes was context on who the Protheans were and their fight against the Reapers. It doesn't change the endings. It doesn't change the story aside from some extra dialogue option that can only be obtained if you have Javik in your party. To me, that's not worth the $10 I paid, especially since it really should have been in the main story. It's 1/6th the amount I paid for ME3 ($60) and contains less than 1/50th of the content (50 hours in ME3). The only reason I'm somewhat happy with my purchase is that Javik is a great character to use on insanity. I don't see how that is encouraging, though.

Overlord and Shadow Broker (as I said) were great. Kasumi wasn't that great. It was ok. I'm glad I got it bundled with the PS3 verson of ME2 or I'd be a bit disappointed with the content. Zaeed was terrible. I didn't play Arrival, but, from what I hear, it was Average. I don't see how that's good or should convince anyone to shell out $10. Bioware doesn't have the best track record with DLC. Like I said, anyone should wait for reviews. Especially since For Ashes was the last one and an obvious cash-in with a great gimmick to reel in fans.

Oh wait, nevermind the fact that Javiks timeline is a huge comparison to the current one and gives huge insight on the story. Nevermind Liara developes even more with Javik in the party. Nevermind that he is a dynamic character that grows to accept the current cycle of doing things and will develop based on your decisions.

The thing is, that he was supposed to be the deuteragonist but he got cut entirely from the game. Late in development, they decided to add him back and change his role. It happens.

I say screw you zo70. Your just upset the Xbox 360 lost an exlcusive game. I for one am glad it went multi-console gives the rest of us a chance to experience this great game series for ourselves.

Looks great. Will wait for reviews before I even consider buying it, though. From Ashes was terrible and so were a few in ME2. I would love for it to be another Shadow of the Broker, though.

Wrong..."For Ashes" is essential and Javik is one hell of a character. While Arrival was average. Kasumi, the Lair of the Shadow Broker, and especially Overlord were great. In fact Overlords ending was one of th ebest moments of ME2.

Leviathan and Omega will be even better.

@Dreizel I think Bioware said it takes place during ME3 but it affects the ending in some way. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

@criminalscum87 Oh ok, thanks.

I might be interested if it does change the ending, otherwise i'm not sure how i fell about revisiting it,.

I hate going back to games that i already finished unless it has passed some years, that is why i hate DLC,, that and the fact that i have to download the thing. I like to buy complete versions of the game not an incomplete version of it, but enough about that..

Thanks for the information, i hope it affects the ending as you are saying :)

@texasgoldrush Oh, i see, then nah.

I'll watch what happens in it just out of curiosity or read about it.

I already finished my story twice for the extended ending if it is not past that or it changes the ending for one more epic then i'm not interested. I've played my story, i know how it ends, i don't need a side mission that doesn't affect the outcome, the game has an average gameplay, the only thing that made it awesome was the story and the universe that they created in this franchise and i finished my story, so there is no need for me to play it just for this side mission.

Thanks for informing me texasgoldrush. Regards

It gives more dialogue to the Catalyst, but it doesn't alter the ending.

@Hexahedronaut Each to their own, but I found that the combat was even better than ME2. There's a lot of different enemies which have different abilities and require different strategies to kill. The only boring faction is the geth, IMO

Not gonna lie, this has got me excited to dust off my copy of ME3 next week. Very Lovecraftian. Well, the whole series employs Cosmicism for the inspiration of the reapers, but this is what I wanted to know playing through the series. Where the ess did the reapers originate?

@LeviHarris We already know some of this already from the extended DLC ;)

The reapers were made be a civilisation that wanted to stop the war between synthetics and biological beings.The civilisation ended up being harvested by the reapers- as their final solution!

Looks fun. I'll buy it at $5, but not at $10. Not for 3-4 hours of content. If I went by that pricing model I'd be paying $100-$120 for an RPG.

A) I like mass effect 3 and will get this DLC

B) If you don't like mass effect 3 why are you commenting in the first place?

C) There is another video that goes into full detail on what this leviathan content is this is a trailer get it TRAILER.

D) There is a interview on why this game will not die. It's because only a active minority actual really didn't like the end. Then you have the "band wagon effect", but regardless more people really like this game then really hate it thus it makes sense they will make more.

E) I hate mostly all shooting games in fact this is the first one i ever liked yet i don't go around bad mouthing all shooting games i just move on. Don't like the game move on...

@Digifox006 "B", "D" and "E" aren't good... Check out:

B. Comments don't exist only to praise. They are, a priori (before), comments.

D. You found answers in an interview? Ok... But "Only an active minority"?! God! Bioware make Extended Cut because "an active minority" threatened to return unwanted product. This fact, I guess, is not in the interview, isn't?

In time: I think there are an ENORMOUS "active MINORITY", you know?

E. I don't like shooter gender, too. Mass Effect is not a shooter, although Bioware has tried to spoil the ME series with "this", too.

Note: Sorry about my poor English.

@Digifox006 I honestly didn't like the original ending... but with the extended cut, bioware almost nailed it. To be fair, the ending would have probably never been fixed, had it not been for the public outcry :)

@Digifox006 Sorry I can't agree with you on D). Discussions got pretty heated on the ending and I never saw one sided arguments one way or another regarding the ending. The people upset were not a minority at least. Just more vocal than the ones who like it. Because the ones who liked it would have no need to say anything.

@Joeguy00 @Digifox006 true, the hate about the ending would have probably been avoided if not to EA's bad financial tactics. If the extended cut content was ingame from day one with no strings atached (unlike From Ashes DLC) You have to admit the game is looking good if you dont pay attention to Ea's outdoor problems

@Fowsed @Digifox006 I feel the ending is much stronger with the Extended Cut, but we'll just never know whether, it was an intentionally vague ending that seemed sort of distant from the rest of the games story on purpose;

As to let future DLC tie it up better (which would be a giant d**k move on EA's part) or whether they just didn't know how to end it and make everyone happy with the time and budget they had. I hope a BioWare employee cracks in the future and tells us lol.

Yeah, because the first Mass Effect just went to shit the moment it hit the PC...dumbass. I for one am happy that it went multiplatform, and it's not the platforms' fault that Mass Effect 3 didn't live up to expectations.
