The Citadel Gets Intriguing in Mass Effect 3's Final DLC

If you guys want to just go ahead and turn this into Mass Effect 4, that would probably be fine with us.

I could go with Mass Effect 4: The Genesis of Garrus

Also, everyone say "Fan service!"

Not to say the DLC isn't great or interesting that adds to the story, and I still love Mass Effect; I just don't feel like playing this stuff since we already know the end, though that feeling was stronger just after I beat three; now I'm feeling like I want to go back through the entire trilogy... At some point. I'd be willing to buy an enhanced trilogy edition on next-gen that mixes the best of the RPG and action moments together in one making the entire trilogy consistent from a gameplay and visual perspective, with all DLC. Honestly, this DLC looks awesome.

ppfffff i hope ILM this week has some reactions to this trailerrr

leviathan, omega, ending aside, this is one DLC i hope everyone plays and looks like something everyone can enjoy (Wonder if jeff will un-grump for this dlc)

I'm really excited for this one. everything about it seems great and I cant wait to see all the romance scenes on youtube the next day ;-)

The extra hub world content you get after beating it sounds incredible too.

This would have been great if I hadn't already finished it. I guess that can be said for almost all DLC though.

Final DLC for ME3. Guess that's good, although I didn't play any of the others... yet. Maybe someday it will be on sale in the near future and worth checking out.

Do those EA cheapskates ever release a GOTY edition with all the DLC included? Cause I'll buy and play ME3 only if they release something like that, I ain't buyin' those 15 buck DLCs, it would cost me more than the actual game to get all of 'em!

There are parts of this that look like Mass Effect: Die Hard... and I'm very OK with that.

it does, and it looks terrible.

but why do i think it might be the best thing to come out of ME3?

i'm ashamed to say it looks like what i was wanting out of 3 this whole time.

Since seeing the stuff that they've done with DLC that should have been in game, I've been fine with not buying any of it and just leaving my second playthrough unfinished. But then they showed Jack in this trailer and damn them I may have to play this and might as well play the other ones as well if there is a glimmer of hope for something better with Jack then what there was to begin with.

Oh god everything's fucked on Earth but we're fighting to the last man, just until Shepard brings help.

Hey Shepard, you should hit the bar and rent a room.

to hell with that dlc, will youtube it instead. old wounds with that series havent healed yet with the piss poor way they handled the ending of the retail product

this dlc, and Leviathan, would have foreshadowed made the ultimate conclusion of mass effect 3 much easier to tolerate. even though i still think if ME3 with this dlc had ended with the feelgood ending, this series would have been the greatest trilogy ever imo

mass effect 3 i think should have been delayed so that those pieces of dlc could have been integrated into the retail game.

I don't remember the animations in that game being that stilted and awkward looking, that trailer looked rough.

To be honest, character animations have never been Mass Effect's strong suit.

Nothing will ever get me to touch Mass Effect 3 again. I'll gladly play 2 for my 4th time, but I won't even play 3 a 2nd time!

I beat Mass Effect 3 when it came out and it wrapped the story for better or worse.

I played the DLC for Mass Effect 1 & 2 but, 3 left no room fir further story in my opinion. The end was the end.

Now this is some Mass Effect 2 style shit. I might actually try this, it looks much more interesting than the other stuff they've put out. A little fan-service-y, though.

I've closed the book on the Mass Effect story, and my Shepard is dead (or lives within all life as some Space God-Jesus, whatever). This filler/fan service probably would have hooked me if the story wasn't over, but it is. So wake me up when you guys explain what happens next to the universe I just fucked by turning everyone into bio-robots. Good luck! zzzzzzZZZZZZzzzZZZzzzzZZZZZZ

I can't tell if this is lame or awesome. I mean, yeah its fan service. But... its still pretty cool. Instead of being super serious, it looks like its just trying be fun. It reminds me of all the "happy ending" fanart that came out.

You won't win any arguments on the internet like that! This either has to be the greatest piece of content ever created for any medium anywhere or the biggest pile of pigshit you've ever seen crapped out by corporate overlords.

I've not played any DLC for MA3, just due to my OCD about "changing" the story when I already finished it, but this is probably gonna break me.

Looks like exactly the kind of stuff I want.

Do you get more characters in this if you play the DLC in a new game instead of an old one, or are guys like Thane and Mordin not included?
