Didn't Harbinger remove his connecting with the vessal before you blew up the ship (at least that is what i heard(i kept the ship myself). As far as i know Harbinger is one of the many reapers still out there it takes over control of the many vessals the reapers own/have/controlMercurySteam said:
$7 for 90 minutes?
I hate that they are putting important story details in viciously overpriced "optional content". Makes me really nervous about the future of story-driven gaming, actually; are we that far removed from devs/pubs giving you the "cliffhanger" middle-finger and saving the real ending for expensive DLC? Are we there already?

i get what you are saying, but in the case of mass effect i do not agree. 1200 point for a few multiplayer maps, no. additional missions for a game that lasts 60 hours, okay. like i said before, i'm sad that this will be the last of me2. now we wait till me3 comes out. i love that bioware still releases bit and pieces of this game to keep the fans happy and make the wait more bearable. i'm sure they will make it right for the people who do not want/can't get dlc.FieryTrainwreck said:
It was disappointing to say the least. I blew through this thing in an hour. What I enjoyed most about it though was the ending. I won't spoil that for anyone who hasn't gotten there yet, but lemme tell you, it is somewhat satisfying. It's only 560 microsoft points. At least it's not expensive.
What are you talking about? Harbinger is a Reaper. You merely fried his avatar, the Collector General.MercurySteam said:
okay, i thought there might be moreTubez said:You only get one vision and thats at the startfeauxx said:*SPOILERS*
when you get to the object Rho, you get a vision similar to the prothean beacon visions. can anyone confirm that if you hold off the enemies longer than i did (i pretty much died after 2 minutes because i was playing on hardcore difficulty) you will get more visions between battle waves? i can't play again right now but i can't get this DLC out of my head

sadly there wasnt any more =/ I thought the dlc was actually quite short
meh...
Overlord and Shadow Broker showed how you could spice up the gameplay of Mass Effect 2. This is just boring and feels a bit uninspired. Shame really, guess everyone at Bioware is busy with ME 3 or was busy with Dragon Age 2, when they made this one.
In terms of story... another "meh", though I absolutely dislike those moustache twirling dialogues you get between Reapers and Shepard. They just feel silly and contrived.

$60 for 30ish hours, then $7 for 1? Sorry, that's a ripoff. If you view it as a one-time expenditure, sure, it's no big deal. But if you actually take the long-term view, including every game Bioware makes, you're going to end up paying a lot of money for not a lot of gaming. That's sort of the point; EA wouldn't be so effing gung-ho about the DLC if it wasn't offering significant returns for less investment.feauxx said:
I don't understand this reasoning. If you blow through it in an hour, how is it not expensive? Do people not think of their gaming budget as one lump sum per month/year? Behold, the power of microtransactions?
I love Mass effect, really I do. But this DLC was disappointing. That may be my own fault,

I was expecting a massive finale to build up to ME3, and the whole "I just stopped the reaper invasion in 2 hours, and Earth is pissed" is just grating on me.
I guess my vision of arrival involved the Reapers actually turning up and raising some hell en Mass (sorry), leaving us gagging for ME3.

You don't. Played the whole thing on normal, and there are no extra visionsfeauxx said:*SPOILERS*

But some pulse from the artifact knocks you out, rather than having the guards beat you
It was entertaining, but mostly foreshadowing for ME3, and too focused on the combat.
I have a horrible feeling that anyone who hasn't played this and/or Lair of the Shadow Broker will get utterly shafted when ME3 comes out.
Nah. As cool as LOTSB was, it's just as linear as Arrival. Both items could probably be 'assumed completed' just like Bring down the sky and Pinnacle station were in a ME1 import.J03bot said:
Nobody's going to get shafted for not having it.
Lack of Virmire survivor was goddamn surprising though. Didn't Bioware promise to sort that out prior to ME3?
