EuroGamer Italy: "The first real DLC for the controversial Mass Effect 3 is a two hours long adventure attempting to tell the story of one of the most important creatures in the main game. The plot is definitely better than the gameplay but why now and why so late?"
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

"The plot is definitely better than the gameplay but why now and why so late?"
Because if they released it sooner people would accuse them of already having it in the works alongside the actual game and ask why it wasn't on the disc, which would lead to boycotts and more people angry over nothing. But we seem to have gotten that already. I've played the DLC. It's much better than a 6/10 but it's all I seem to see it getting, if not lower, because people are still sour over the ending.
Seriously the biggest complaint I hear about this DLC is "It can't take place after the ending so what's the point." and to that I say "Look at Mass Effect 2." All that DLC took place before the ending but nobody complained. There wasn't a single post-ending DLC for that game. So why are people making a big deal about it for Mass Effect 3?
I didn't like the ending much either, but that was 10 minutes out of a 30 hour game, that was near perfect (minus those last 10 minuets). The missions were fun to play and had interesting scenarios. This feels like it could have easily been a part of the campaign and people would hate it no more than the missions of Tuchanka or Rannoch.
Sorry this comment is so long but I just don't understand what people want from this series. You didn't like 10 minutes of a 30 hour game so the whole thing is dead to you?
