Poll: Mass Effect 2 DLC or Section 8: Prejudice

[AnAngryMoose]

Right, so I'm doing some shopping on XBL and I'm in a conundrum as to what to get. I only have enough MS Points for what's in the poll, so what should I go for?

Right now I'm considering Lair of the Shadow Broker, Arrival and Section 8 because I already have Overlord and Kasumi doesn't sound quite as awesome as the other two.

I would go with Lair,arrival and section 8 Prejudice
I havent played Section 8 Prejudice yet (considering it havent been released to computer) but it seems like a lot of fun.

Whatever you do, just make sure you get Section 8 in there.

TONS of content for your $15.

Lair of the shadow broker is the best DLC I have ever played so if you like mass effect you should deffinitely get it, Arrival was pretty good, I like Kasumi but if you don't want her she isn't neccesary to have, I don't know what section 8 is.

 

[IAmWright777]

I'd say get Lair of the Shadow Broker, and if you want to spend 20 minutes playing it, get Arrival. Kasumi was kinda useless to me, but whatever floats your boat. Oh, definitely try out Section 8. The original was a waste of money (for 60 bucks, it was the biggest rip off I remember), but for the price they are asking I say try it.

I played the original Section8 on PC and it was hardly....stellar. Might have been better on console. This also apparently contains more content than the original. Dunno.

 

[MAUSZX]

I would say MAss effect 2 Dlc, i haven't played section 8, but you can wait for a deal of the week. I guess

 

[Penitent]

You're going to get most votes for the option without Section 8, simply because Section 8 has so little publicity and there are a lot of Bioware fans here.

But I implore you, do not miss out on Section 8. It really deserves the love. For everyone whining about how repetitive the shooting genre has become, here's a game to put your money behind.

Kasumi's quest is actually pretty awesome.

Ever see the episode of Firefly called Shindig? It's kind of like that. You go to a fancy party and sneak around, trying to break into a vault and steal stuff.

Would have to say Section 8: Prejudice as well. It's great fun, especially on line & you can take on a roll that suits yer play style and get rewarded for it, not just yer K/D ratio. Also, what other Xbox game allows you to host your own dedicated servers?

Arrival was a massive letdown for me. I can honestly say its the only Mass Effect 2 content I didn't enjoy. Lair of the Shadow Broker is spectacular, though. It's...perfect. I love it, I get excited every time I play it. Kasumi's mission is probably my second or third favorie ME2 DLC.

I wouldn't recommend Arrival, honestly. I've never heard of Section 8, but you seem interested in it. Go for Shadow Broker/Kasumi/Section 8

I would do Lair of the Shadow Broker and the Section 8 thing. Kasumi and Arrival both aren't worth the normal asking price. Kasumi is both short and uninteresting (I thought so anyway; too much whining and trying to make us feel emotion towards characters we haven't met before), and while Arrival is longer, it's pretty much all combat without any of the other things that make Mass Effect a great game. Wait until they go on deal of the week again and save some money.

 

[Blind0bserver]

Well, I suppose it depends on how invested you are in Mass Effect in general.

For what it's worth Kasumi is a decent squad member that, depending on where you are in the game, you'll probably get good use out of until you find a replacement for her and the Lotus SMG you get from that DLC is, in essence, an assault rifle masquerading as a sub-machine gun. That sucker comes in handy.

I'd say all of the DLC missions are pretty fun, but Shadow Broker is definitely the "must buy". Even more so if you romanced Liara back in ME1. I'd push for Arrival, too, but to a far lesser extent. What happens in the Arrival missions will lead in directly to the events of ME3, but then again you're forced to play the entire DLC without a squad, so take that for what you will.

Kasumi is not whiney. She has one moment at the end of her mission and its perfectly understandable. Aside from that, she's the definition of cool and calm.

 

[EvilPicnic]

Lair of the Shadow Broker is fantastic, the best level in any Mass Effect game. Buy it.

Kasumi is ok: it's an enjoyable mission, with some stealthy bits which are actually quite fun; it is worth getting, it just depends if you want something else more.
