BioWare: Mass Effect 2 DLC will be 'kick-ass'

BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk has said that his team has "learned a lot" from Mass Effect's DLC disasters and that DLC for the sequel will be "pretty kick-ass".

Considering they are charging for it, it had damn well better be good. I'd be more impressed if it was free, no matter how terrible it was, the gesture would mean more to me than a paid for product.

Simon_Brezhnev6027d ago (Edited 6027d ago )

i got respect for BioWare but this talk about DLC before full game even released is bullshít. All thanks to microsoft with this DLC crap.

evrfighter6027d ago

um...

I'm sure no one wants to hear how the DLC will "kick-ass"...

I'm sure people would instead like to hear about how Mass effect 2 will kick ass.

Bioware's biggest problems have been with expansion packs and now DLC.

morganfell6027d ago

They lied about the greatness of the DLC in ME1 so I am not stupid enough to jump on the Bioware fanwagon over the very same remarks. I will wait and see. They are the ones with something to prove.

But some people though just keep putting their hand on that hot stove.

Bnet3436027d ago

I don't think BioWare has to prove anything to anyone, DLC or not.

Ausbo6027d ago

The problem is morganfell has never played anything outside of his ps3 so he probably doesn't know the greatness that is bioware.

Bioware have NEVER made a mediocre game. I don't care about the dlc that much, as long as the full game is great. And Bioware doesn't disappoint.

morganfell6027d ago (Edited 6027d ago )

You obviously do not realize the sad truth other people here have been embarrassed to learn...

Whoops:

And Bioware has begun to slip. ME1 was hardly a technical masterpiece and their DLC that required you to restart the game was a joke.

How about that Dragon's Age? How is that for changing gaming... Mediocre at best. They have lost their edge.

LONEWOLF2316027d ago

Nice set up dude, im pretty much the same BUT its my PS3 that is picking up dust and not my 360. Last game i bought was the GOW collection played it once on release day havent touched it since. Its a great game just havent been able to get back to it since most of my gaming sessions are on MW2,L4D2 and AC2 on the 360. Back to topic ,i mean the game isnt even out yet and they are already calming that the DLC is gonna kick ass......successfully release the game then after its out start talking about the DLC and not before.

blogz4fanboyzz6027d ago (Edited 6027d ago )

i would be quiet if i was you

everybody, click the links and read morganfells comments...lol pure classics.

anyway, cant wait for this game, and doubt i'll be buying the DLC aswell. 2010 is shaping up to be pretty special if you own both consoles

Pebz6027d ago

Still waiting for a developer to promote their upcoming DLC as "boring and not worth buying"... sigh, some day perhaps.

Tony P6027d ago

I don't agree with morg that BioWare is slipping as a whole. ME and Dragon Age are very good. As good as BG or BGII? Hell no. But few devs ever match their very best games. And their latest games have been as impressive and daring as circumstances will allow.

I agree that the DLC for ME was an utter let down. Bring Down the Sky wasn't great and Pinnacle Station was TERRIBLE. And true, Pinnacle Station wasn't made by them technically, but it's deceptive to not come right out and say that.

Anyway, I dunno if it's being with EA, but Dragon Age: Origins has a much much improved approach to DLC. And although I've soured on the idea of DLC, if we're stuck with it you might as well get it right.

morganfell6026d ago

Oooh a change in publishing decisions is your ammunition? It doesn't affect this situation one iota.

You were just shot out of the tree. Also, thanks for revealing your new account king dong 1,2, and 3. I blocked them and your new account gets the same justice.

I'll be happy if Bioware can figure out 30 fps first.

user8586216027d ago

so don't brag about the actual game but the content you have to pay extra for?........

CAPT IRISH6027d ago

ill believe it when it happens

qwertyuiopasdfghjkl6027d ago

This is a prime example why video games today are a joke. Bioware knows Mass Effect 2 will sell regardless... so why not push back a few features into some DLC, make a few extra thou in the process.

N4G losers and Bioware huggers, don't even start commenting about DLC being developed afterwards, or left out due to time constraints, and how some DLC is free, because I know all of this.

What the general public and casual gamers don't know, is a lot of these so-called "extra content", could have easily been implemented into the initial release.

Why include entertainment, food and drinks into the plane ticket, when you can just get them on board, then let hunger and boredom do the work.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast536d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine536d ago

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.

anast536d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman536d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast536d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman535d ago

SimpleSlave784d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan784d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
