New Mass Effect 2 DLC Revealed: "Lair of the Shadow Broker"

damn you DLC-era for screwing me over.

I have not yet bought a DLC, and I will continue to do so, even though it is futile to be the boycotting minority when looking at the MW2-addicts and the sales of the overpriced jokes they call mappacks

Just a friendly heads-up: the real ME2 DLC has been priced at $7, and you can't buy $7 of points from the ME website...but you can buy just that amount from Bioware's other major website - Dragon Age.

Further proof that the points system is retarded.

DLC is a bit of a mixed bag, but imo the quality is improving drastically.

For example, in ME2 - the item packs were not worth it imo - nor was the exploring the Normandy crash site. Sure it's a nice little idea, but in reality, that experience added nothing to the game.

On the other hand, the two new characters and their loyalty missions, Kasumi and Zaeed- These were great. I particularly enjoyed the Kasumi mission, but think both characters were fantastic. I havent yet played through Overlord, as I am saving it. I am currently playing back through the whole game with the DLC loaded in, and it feels much more robust than the first play-through.

My only complaint is that I wish Kasumi and Zaeed had more value in the game beyond their individual missions. Zaeed is an awesome character imo, I just wish he was more involved going forward.

There's the whole debate about whether or not this content should have been in at release, but to be honest, I think that adding it later gives more incentive to play through it again, adds a little more excitement - the freshness of new content. If they released quality content like the last few packs on an even more regular basis, i would buy it. Other than the first few minor packs, the rest have been great - even when short.

They really should make it easier to purchase these without using the retarded point system that makes you spend more money than you're using. These expansions are notoriously simple to pirate; I can't help but think they are losing more money than they think they're gaining by being so sneaky.

Price the DLC in a frame that I can purchase points for, exactly. Or just charge me plain money, I will buy it. But don't insult me by trying to get me to spend money on virtual 'points'.

Looks like Shepard gets a chance to spank those blue titties one more time!

these days if i know a game is going to ship with bundled DLC or that sort of thing I just don't bother to buy until a GOTY with all the DLC appears, such as FO3 GOTY, on a Steam sale. Then I get everything in one purchase at a much better price point.

Now their statement about ME2 DLCs being a link between ME2 & ME3 becomes clear.

Still don't think the idea of DLC into a game as Mass Effect is good however (or ultimately, you'd have to play the game anew when all DLCs would have been published)

Hopefully this is more compelling then any of their previous DLC. Looking forward to filling in more of the story around Liara since ME1 regardless. Maybe even learning who the Shadow Broker is?

I hope it's $5, but I'm sure it'll be $7. If it's any amount that I cannot buy the specific amount of bioware points, I am not buying it.

Can't wait!

If their DLC was on Steam, I would buy it.
