David Rodriguez writes, "Much like the rest of the Mass Effect franchise, Leviathan seems to be derived from numerous established science-fiction franchises. There are characters, events, and cutscenes reminiscent of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and The X-Files. Additionally, there are science-fiction-horroresque segments reminiscent of Alien, and the climactic chapter of the DLC has a lot in common with The Abyss.
Despite the very appreciated and tasteful references to film, the content is a mixed bag. Leviathan’s strengths lie in the presentation and the soundtrack that compliments each cutscene and action sequence. The score, produced by Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan (both of whom collaborated on the score for Mass Effect 2’s Stolen Memory DLC), at times surpassed some of the best sequences used in both Mass Effect 3 and its predecessor."
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?"
Yeah if you are stuck on a 360 that is the best value for $5 you can get. Just keep in mind Half-Life 2 is 10 years old, and Halo 2, is also 10 years old, and a better game. If at all possible throw that $5 towards an X1 and The Master Chief Collection.
LOL, where can you get a XB1 and the Halo MCC for $10? I'll buy 10 more!
Am I being really dumb and missing something?
Anywho I bought the Orange Box, Last time I played it was on Steam years back, Portal is always a joy!
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.
