I'll play through this on my old save first. I have a feeling she's going to be a big help with my second play through on insanity. With Bioware dropping new content all the time, makes me want to wait on that S-Rank... Hmmm.

Looks more like what was stolen is his fashion sense.

I don't know what game you played because Mass Effect 2 is far from boring.

The Arc Projector is available in your armory after you download it, you don't need to research anything!

I'm kinda dissapointed that male Shepard's formal wear is basically a reskin of that one existing casual outfit.  Female Shepard gets a nice cocktail dress.

Man, I wish they gave Kasumi more talk time when she is on the ship but she is still a good character.

Is there anything about male Shepard that isn't disappointing?

With the way people were complaining I expected this dlc to be playable in the time span of a quick look.  7 bucks is a steal for dlc with what seems like over and hour of decent gameplay.

Dollars and cents, it's probably not a good deal for your average player. For me, the release of this DLC turns into another 20+ hour playthrough.

My favorite part of Kasumi's room is the bar. You can watch the terrible pouring/drinking animations any time you want!

I think it's time for me to play Insanity. The villain sure knows how to get some cool collectables.

This DLC was OK I guess. You play it through and get a nice Submachine Gun and then you forget about it immediately. It's just nothing special, and I will never use Kasumi in my Squad. Whatever, if it has Mass Effect in the title, I will buy it.

I got Morinth instead of Samara. She fit my Renegade led crew better than Samara. 
This was a good QL guys. The only one that i have not been upset that the game volume was low.

I can't complain about the male formal outfit since it doesn't have the Cerberus logo stiched into it.

Compared to female Shepard?  The hair choices.

You know why Moradin is dead Brad?  All those unresearched techs just sitting there.  Its all your fault for cutting corners.

You do realize you can skip those movie animations, right? Those aren't load times, they're just animations. The load comes after them.
 
Too bad Bioware just doesn't know how to do DLC properly. Either that or they aren't willing to pump the resources into it, since they treat it like the lowest possible budget cash-cow that most developers have been treating DLC.

 In before Mass Effect 2 haters.
 
Awwww... Too late.
 
Game of the Year right here folks. Maybe even Game of the Decade. Too bad so many people are just idiots and would rather play their role-playing grindfests than playing a real RPG where you play the role of yourself, and actually make decisions that have a big impact (more so than most modern games)
 
And really, people bought stupid shit like horse armor, AssAssin's creed 2 cut content, etc... It is great to see people being such hypocrites and overall being a bunch of sorry-ass bitches.

No,it won't spoil anything really the only thing that you see in the DLC that has any refrence to Mass Effect 1 or 2's storyline is a vague refrence to Saren from the first game.

You have to realize at this point that anyone talking shit about ME2 in a public fashion is just trolling, whatever their actual opinion of the game may be. Your post is exactly what they're craving.
