Mass Effect 3 Patch Next Week

Your Commander Shepard's broken face will no longer be broken.

But then again, I'm assuming this is only if you re-import the data which in effect is useless for most people who have already played the game through.

Yea that's why I held off playing it when I realized there was an issue with face importing. Was just waiting for this patch to finally come, and now I can get back to playing it.

CC-Tron5078d ago

Maybe not. What you can do is import your ME2 Shep and write down the face code. After that just apply that face code to your current Shepard on the next play through.

I didnt get it yet b/c I was waiting for the patch. I didn't want to start playing and then not have my characters face imported from ME2. Plus all the other glitches I heard about. Want to see how they handle this new ending they are working on

6 new characters, 3 new weapons, and 2 new maps for free?

Thanks bioware ! The new content looks great (and for a great price)

TekoIie5078d ago

will these weapons be available in the SP???

Multiplayer DLC only.

But we clearly need more characters for SP, and it would add a lot more to the game than the MP. I know they said that the MP wouldn't get in the way of the SP development, But clearly it has. The character choices for SP suck and they need to do something about it whenever they stop focusing on the MP

In my opinion this is a great way to 'combat' 2nd hand games sales. Rather than using these online pass things just release a nice chunk of good free DLC a few weeks after launch and gamers will want to hold onto games longer before trading in.

Burnout Paradise is a perfect example of getting people to want to hold onto a game rather than trade it in. Didn't it have multiple good, free DLC packs?

Valenka5078d ago

Glad to know they're fixing the errors. But multiplayer DLC? Couldn't care less. I want to extend my campaign experience - this game was the best yet.

trouble_bubble5078d ago

The best? Best job of completely decimating the status quo of an IP maybe. I LMAO at the "desperate" storylines behind these new maps. If you've finished the game, you know these battles mean nothing in the end. Ultimately nothing anyone does in ME3 matters, including the effective military strength in MP. Such a disappointment. The irony in playing as a Geth fighting for survival. Waiting for a Catalyst skin, I imagine it'll just be a walking middle finger with DLC weapons.

Valenka5078d ago

Well that's fine if you don't like it, but don't be sour about those who enjoyed the game.

ChocalateDog2035078d ago

Ya know, considering ME3 is like 25-35 hour game, why the fuck does 10 minutes of it make the entire thing terrible? Mass Effect is an excellent series and if just 10 minutes of shoddy storyline makes the entire series suck, than I feel bad for you. You obviously don't have the thinking capacity of a wrench. Are you allowed to hate the ending? Sure. But why condemn the entirety of something amazing because of it.

Lilioups5078d ago

Yes its the best just because the ending was bad doesnt mean the whole game was...

@chocolatedog

Its actually really sad... ME3 was fantastic except for those last 10 minutes.

And how the "fans" are treating Bioware is also sad, the name Mac Walters is spat on, and people praise Drew, even though he stated he recieves to much credit for Mass Effect, and everyone at bioware should be credited equally

LeoDDestroyer5078d ago

@chocolatedog

It because the last ten min makes all your choices meaningless. You could play the game the complete opposite way and reach the same choices. This lessen the impact of your choices because they don't matter which is something bioware has said many times that it would.

RyuDrinksTheDew5078d ago

finally, they are addressing some of the PS3 freezing problems.

it locked up on me 6 times, so i stopped playing the campaign.

glad i get to jump back in now.

kneon5078d ago

I wasn't even aware there were any freezing problems on the PS3. I've played it through twice, got the platinum and never had a single freeze.

RyuDrinksTheDew5078d ago

ya, like they said on the change log, there were a couple bugs on the citadel that would cause the game to freeze.

really got annoying, but im glad it isnt completely widespread.

Ah, EA greed strikes a- wait, what?! Hell yeah! Thanks!

I don't even care if they're just trying to win people back. It's free stuff, no point in complaining!

SoundGamer5078d ago

Yup! I have noticed a few developers doing this a bit this year. Free DLC that is.

I'm not a fan of paid DLC so I welcome it very much. :)

Mass Effect has never been about multiplayer, I haven't even redeemed my code that came with my game. I want SP content and I don't want pointless MP produced at the expense of SP.

_Aarix_5078d ago

I cant seem to enjoy it. Ive been spoiled by gears 3, its hard playing mass effect 3 when its really clunky as oppose to how fluid and awesome looking gears of wars horde 2.0 is.

BDSE5078d ago

You're the problem. People like you are the reason why fantastic SP games get MP shoehorned into them.

FlashBack5078d ago

No, I am not, I'd love a better SP of course, but since I can't change that, why moan and stop myself from enjoying the multiplayer?

Lilioups5078d ago

SP content will come thats sure...once they release the extended cut i think the next dlc will be taking back omega with aria

Ippiki Okami5077d ago

....why would you want that? Omega is just gona get blown away by the relay thats right next to it anyway lol

I didn't even try the MP. I would rather get SP DLC.

TrueStoryGuy5078d ago (Edited 5078d ago )

Does it fix the glitch that forces the game's ending to end abruptly?

SoldierX5078d ago

This will make a lot of gamers happy happy joy joy.

mauinho5078d ago (Edited 5078d ago )

Mass effect 3 is a 25-35 hour game???? you must be kidding me. Ive clocked 95 hours on ME1, 120hours on ME2 and im 34 hours in ME3 and not even a quarter way in it. Will hv to restart to acomodate the patch. you can probably complete it in 25 hours but why would I want to do that? miss all the details,most missions and amazing story the game has to offer? Go back to playing COD dude :)
Oh and thank god they fixed the game my shepard just never felt the same in ME3. Been waiting for a while now.

limewax5077d ago

Personally I also try to get as many hours out of the game, I never rush. But our playtime figures reflect similar results to a point.

ME1- 74 hours on first play
ME2- 56 hours on first play
ME3- 32 hours on first play

Like I say I didn't rush it, but I also didn't have much to do in the game, Every mission followed a return trip to the citadel after talking to my crew. However only 3 trips back to the citadel actually held anything new. Personally I feel ME3 was a lot smaller
