TVGB: "Mass Effect 3's online component is in for another addition in the form of an "Earth Multiplayer Expansion." Due out a week from now, July 17th (next Tuesday), the content will be available free of charge."
(Mass Effect 3, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Been debating whether or not to uninstall this game now that the EC came and went. It simply doesn't have the staying power and replay appeal that ME1 and ME2 had, even with multiplayer.
Its because its the end. Theres no speculation like with ME2 with what would come next because the story wont continue.... to my knowledge atleast. Cant be too sure with EA these days.
They claim we should hang onto our saves. There will obviously be more Mass Effect games, connected or not. EA will drag any franchise through the dirt for as long as it's profitable.
I think we can expect it late August, mid to late September. Remember, they were working on the Extended Cut for the most part while most likely a small team were designing the Leviathan DLC.
I was expecting single-player related dlc but with the extended cut just being released it seems unlikely.
I'm sure all of these free DLC packs came from an original price model as well...but with all the flak and Bioware trying to do right by the fans, they probably agreed it's best to release them free of charge.
I do enjoy the multiplayer every now and then though.
What the hell happened to all the single player DLC?!? Mass Effect 2 was one example of DLC actually done right this gen.
I want more characters, extra missions and side stories, to see the worlds fleshed out more and stuff. They could have some really cool missions on smaller planets where you have to turn up and fight off the reapers, with different outcomes for each one, as well as missions that steer away from the reapers completely. Some of the best bits of ME2 had nothing to do with the main story.
Come on Bioware, surely you can at least alternate between releasing multiplayer and single player DLC.
