It's just goddamn part of the game. Perhaps those "DLCs" where even on disc already? And if not, just because a lot people claim stuff like "oh well the artists have nothing to do shortly before launch" that a) is rarely true and b) it's often more than just one simple weapon skin or some other texture. When a game launches there's almost always still a lot to polish for everyone, even the artists. I mean, day one patches seem to be the norm actually. So how is it that there's apparently plenty time for extra DLC while there are day one patches, or day one patches would be goddamn necessary because a game has a lot issues. There may be a couple of exceptions, but overall day one DLC certainly is just a ripp off. If someone is seriously trying to tell me that all those Mass Effect pre-order DLCs and other crap is stuff that's being worked on after the game is finished or something like that, then I must laugh. | ||

 How do you unlock the other races? By playing single player as other classes & difficulties? | ||

You get them by buying Recruit or Veteren packs which sometimes come with "character cards" that either unlock a new race or add-ons for a race you already have with the money you get from clearing missions. Really fun way to play, although the Adapt and Engineer are really, really strong I've found, and the Infiltrator with the Widow is just OP as hell, so much stuff just dies if you hit them, although the damage scaling in higher difficulties does make it so that the Widow I isn't as OP, in bronze it's a 1 hit kill anywhere without shields/armor/barrier, I can only imagine how strong a Widow X would be.... | ||

But because EA is trying to sell it all at once, it just seems cynical that they are trying to sell you content WITH the game, which is never how its suppose to work. EDIT : Any word on ME being available on steam after launch day? Or is it going to be only available on origin for the foreseeable future? | ||

Which raises a question of mine: What if you use Steam's "add non-Steam game" function on an Origin game? If you've got both systems' overlays on the same key bindings and use them in-game, what will happen? | ||

The thing is, you can't run ME3 without Origin and if you want to play multiplayer, well, hell, the whole thing is Origin powered. It doesn't look as though there is much room for workarounds. | ||

I can't say I was impressed by the multiplayer, just felt like a generic rehashing of the much superior Gears of War Horde Mode. Not saying it won't turn out better with my modes and maps etc, but the demo didn't make me want to rush out and purchase it based on the multiplayer. | ||

I remember a fiasco with Call of Duty a while back that every map pack they sold MONTHS apart for $15 a pop were found to be on the disc at release, just encrypted. It would not surprise me if the same shit was being done here. | ||

Not saying it won't turn out better with my modes and maps etc, but the demo didn't make me want to rush out and purchase it based on the multiplayer. I liked multiplayer more than single-player in the demo tbh. I've never played games like gears of wars and such, so I can't compare it. From a technical stand point the game let me down. I mean it claims to not support my graphics card. Add in that I'm on a 64-bit system, so the file to change the graphics manually (because I know my computer can handle it) doesn't even exist, and it means I'm stuck dealing with a really shitty quality game. Seriously who the fuck does quality control there. The entire scene where Shepard is talking to the kid in the vent was almost pure black. Even if I'm on the lowest quality setting I should still be able to fucken see what's going on. The movements and voice acting of the characters didn't feel right during cutscenes. The scene where Shepard tells the human council (or whatever they are) they need to fight or die is really underwhelming. The forced drama from that kid dying was just stupid as well.... And I agree that running and movement in general just seems weird. | ||

ME2: A-/B+ ME3: Looks like it will be a C+/C based off all I've seen but hopefully I am underestimating it. | ||
