So Bioware have released a new DLC for Mass Effect 2 today known as the 'Equalizer Pack'. It costs 160 MS or Bioware points and gives you access to 3 new items for your character:
So what do people think? Is it worth the money, something you can't wait to equip your Shepard with? Or a pointless DLC when they could have made something longer lasting?
Personally I think the visor and helmet look pretty cool, but I don't really care about the armour or the stats. The problem for me is that I have played Mass Effect 2 three times now and am on a break from my fourth play-through. As such I am not really excited enough to be getting it. Sure they look cool, but this is the kind of thing to release early on when everyone is playing it, not after a few months time when people have either played it to death or simply moved on.
I also don't understand why they'd make the Zaeed mission and Firewalker pack free, but then charge small amounts for a few items or clothing here and there. It'd make a lot more sense for these to be free while charging 400MS for the two previously mentioned packs in my opinion (although this way it's cheaper, so we can't complain really).
While I was hoping for something a little more exciting when I heard there was a new DLC, I am sure I will get the pack whenever I start playing again, it's pretty cheap and I will be playing the game a few more times prior to Mass effect 3's release anyway.
The 'Archon Visor' that "Manages omni-tools and biotic amps, reducing the recharge time of Shepard's powers."
The 'Capacitor Helmet' that "Stores power for kinetic barriers, allowing Shepard's shields to recharge faster."
As well as the 'Inferno Armor' that "Speeds up Shepard's movements and increases his tech and biotic power damage, additionally stress analysis software even gives him an edge in negotiations outside of combat. "
