Mass Effect 3 DLC: 5 Things We’re Hoping For In The Final Update

Banner

Is this Bioware€™s last chance? Well, no, probably not, despite what some extremely vocal forumers might claim. A couple of sub-par releases €“ Mass Effect 3 (ME3), Dragon Age 2 €“ are not enough to completely undo a sterling reputation built over a number of years and a vast library of quality titles, but then, it€™s equally impossible to ignore the damage that€™s been done to that reputation in recent years. The outcry over ME3€™s ending is perhaps the most vociferous negative reaction we€™ve ever seen from the gaming community, and while the free Edited Cut DLC Bioware generously offered some time later went a long way to healing those wounds, work still needs to be done. The initial ME3 DLC offering €œLeviathan€ was competent and enjoyable, if somewhat confusing, but the recent bug-ridden, overpriced €œOmega€ seemed to enrage detractors of the series still further. The new €˜Citadel DLC€™ (slated for a March 5th release in North America on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC) is confirmed as the final single-player DLC offering for the trilogy, and the biggest ever released (it€™s actually being split into two parts due to memory space restrictions on downloads). Now, Bioware are asking for a whopping $14.99 for the download, which is around a quarter of the price of a full game. With that in mind, there€™s lots Bioware could and should do to mend fences with the gaming community, so let€™s take a look at some of the things we€™re all hoping to see next month in the conclusion to what is likely the greatest gaming trilogy ever created.
