I know a great workaround to avoid all these DLC problems you've hearing of Bioware.

Include the stuff in the game and forget about all DLC!

or

Just make it free.

shopsmartash5962d ago

the reason they do this is to give a bonus to those people who actually bought the game, rather than illegally downloading it. I'm sure someone will make this available to torrenters too, but for now it's meant to be a perk...if it worked lol

LONEWOLF2315962d ago

Too late for that shop!
As to what ive read both PC and 360(Jtag) DLC are already up for grabs.
Bastids dont waste anytime....anyways anyone know when the goggles and the sniper rifle will be available?

Pumbli5962d ago

I mean more like, why not just include it in a patch or something?

dabri55962d ago

I wasn't crazy about the idea at first until I realized something. I have Dragon Age on PC. I have Mass Effect on 360. I had to get Mass Effect 2 on 360 so I could use my previous save files. I thought because of this, I would miss out on the Dragon Armor but when I linked my EA account with my Live account/ cerebus network, it could see I had Dragon Age and gave me the armor. So I got two sets of new armor and a new mission (crash site) all for free. Call me a happy camper. :)

Its already available to torrent sites the Cerberus network served no purpose in that regard. I spent two hours on the phone with EA yesterday which the majority of that was being on hold just to get my PC ME2 CE Cerberus network code to work. An now I'm wondering well if I uninstall the game an reinstall at a later date how in the world will I get back onto the Cerberus network. Considering there is no place to log in it only says redeem when you click on the network.

interrergator5962d ago

my code doesnt even work period theres a lower case letter in mine which shouldnt be

BeaArthur5962d ago

Mine actually worked just fine but I think it's because my EA and Live accounts use the same email address. EA is stupid, just because they want hits on their website (or whatever the reason they decided to make this process so convoluted). If they had made the codes redeemable via Live instead of trying to make them accessible through the website this whole cluster could have been avoided.

R6ex5962d ago

I'm frustrated by missing codes & items as well!

Captain Tuttle5962d ago

Knock on wood (360 version). What's really annoying is that Shepard doesn't take his helmet off when he's wearing the Terminator Armor and the Dragon Armor. It really breaks the immersion. You can tell the EA was in charge of the pre-order bonus stuff...they just didn't take the details into account.
It's too bad because those armors are pretty good. Thankfully I didn't pay for them.

Great game otherwise.

BeaArthur5962d ago

I had the exact same issue. I don't use either armor because they have no customization.

dabri55962d ago

I noticed that too. Only time it ever really broke the moment for me was when Shepard was buying a drink and drinking it through his helmet. Other than that, the only problem I have with the game is the probing for metals....I have like the OCD issue where if there is a side mission and I can not easily ignore it, I have to do it. Every time I see a new planet, I have to probe it till the resources are depleted. I haven't even gotten to a part in the game where this task is explained/ what these things are used for. I get the hint they are used for research but at what point, I don't know.

interrergator5961d ago

i have a problem getting the armor idk how to do it on my 360

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

anast531d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine531d 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.

anast531d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman531d ago

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

anast531d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman530d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

DustMan779d ago

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

SimpleSlave779d ago (Edited 779d 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.
