SmashPad: BioWare and Mass Effect 3 have seen their fair share of controversy over the last few months. From fans reacting negatively to the ending of the series to the creators of BioWare reportedly leaving the company because of the fans’ outcries, Mass Effect 3 seemed to be stuck in a perpetual loop of disappointment. But with bad press comes positive changes, as BioWare released an enhanced ending to appease fans (mostly) and they are still working hard on enhancing the adventures of Shepard and his crew. The latest, Leviathan, adds some neat backstory to the already dynamic ending, but the combat leaves more to be desired.
Neil writes "The new Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Publisher sale for 23rd-29th September is now active. Bargains are available for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners this week, but which will you pick up?"
BioWare released the Leviathan DLC approximately a year ago. Press Start to Begin takes a look back at the DLC now that the Mass Effect series is complete to see if and how it fits into the overarching story.
"Don’t get it for the story. The story in this DLC just doesn’t flow with the story in the actual game."
I wholeheartedly disagree. I have been recommending Leviathan to my friends for the story alone. When combined with the Extended Cut DLC, this served to fill certain gaps left in the plot. The finer points of the author's critique regarding the story amount to little more than nitpicking, in my opinion.
Keep beating that dead horse.. This DLC never added anything to the actual game in the end. Just a tease, not really disproving the Indoctrination theory but not really proving it exists either.
From the article - So, N7 Day was last Thursday and it came along with a special gift for all of Mass Effect fans: we could get to see the very first image of what will become –soon enough, we hope- the fourth console installment of the franchise.
The game is all about cycles, the ripple effect and the everlasting battle against extinction, but not only human extinction; it is extinction in a whole new scale, and the redefinition of the concept of life.
Nice review of the DLC. Makes me want to check it out, especially since I wasn't a fan of the game's ending at all.
