Um, most of that is in the collector's edition, and is probably mostly cosmetic. Stop getting your knickers in a twist, this is such an over-reaction.

That's what I did too.
I preordered at Gamestop first but Origin preorders get a free copy of BF3.. so.. that's enough extras for me to switch over.
The amount of extra bonus preorder exlusivity content is annoying.
this thread is falling apart and I am enjoying every second of it
So what, the Prothean is still in the game without the DLC, it just adds him as Squaddie and gives a side mission?
I just want everyone to take a step back and look at this more objectively. I am not on the side of EA nor the people who want to burn them down.
It's based on the DLC sniper from ME2, of course it sucks.
This is pretty immature, by nature.

A source on this would be nice, I'm seeing people say "don't jump to conclusions" and "quit being such a dumbass he's still in the game", and a source would further their argument.
How the hell is this thread falling apart.. we're still discussing Mass Effect.
Anyway, you can't blame them. EA is just trying to make money just like every other for profit company..
You respecting the Bioware community is a larger issue that you and I don't have time to delve into right now.
And continuing the cycle instead of shutting the fuck up is a brilliant way to solve that annoyance.
Should've taken the insulting sarcasm and ran with it into 'shutthefuckupville'.
Clearly.
Made evident by the fact that he responded to the people talking about it in all caps and continues to respond with the fury of an angry fanboy.
Brilliant deduction
-
You motherfuckers are silly as shit, all of you.
No it's not, the Incisor you can get too, this isn't burst either
and the ME2 one was awesome
Valve don't have to resort to 50 billion pre-order incentives and they make plenty of money...
I mean it feels like a riot in here
and not a funny riot, an actual riot with burning buildings n shit
Valve hardly releases games!
I love the rage you and every nerde here is giving.
Whine more about a game that you don't have to buy, none of you are entitled to a game series.
Actually, I was referring to the Facepunch community, and who I respect is none of your business.
A delayed game is good eventually, a rushed game is bad forever.
That's really over-dramatic. Its just a forum and drama.
But VALVe has a genius marketer at its helm, pretty much a monopoly on digital stores (as we've seen with the reaction to Origin), and has no publishers to please. Comparing them to a regular company is like comparing a magnifying glass left on a windowsill to the sun itself.
Edited:
well I do get the shakes quite a lot so maybe thats whats happening
Unless it's been delayed for so many years general interest has been pretty much lost (see: DNF).
Just as people are jumping to a conclusion that the DLC will have plot crucial stuff or interesting stuff about the story people are jumping to a conclusion that it won't have anything crucial to the plot and nothing interesting to the story.
The higher chance is that it does have something to do with the lore of the universe in the game giving information about what happened to the protheans, to the interested fans. The chances are also that the prothean will be in the actual main game and be woven in to the story and the DLC will just add more personal stuff about the prothean. Either way it's a day 1 DLC that takes production time away from the game which isn't okay, so they have already lost on that part unless they change.
What really draws the line tough is if the prothean has some really fucking interesting shit involved with him in the DLC that explains a lot of what happened and is a major story event, this is unconfirmed tough. But as I stated they have already fucked up by making a day 1 DLC that has some semi-important stuff (It's a freakin shooting prothean as a squad mate) and takes them away from development time adding up with the other CE stuff (which is fairly minor but acts as the final straw)
So, I`ve been doing my first ME2 Insanity runthrough
First Thoughts:
Holy shit.
-Every enemy having shielding makes a lot of powers useless.
Holy shit.
-YMIR mechs become final boss-worthy enemies
-Recruiting Garr-bear was one hell of an ordeal
-I'm starting to feel sexual thoughts towards the Mattock
Man, I've only played through Me2 before once, but, Insanity is a whole new game. I don't really have the luxury to pick squaddies based on personal favorites, but now actually picking stats to compliment me. (Mordin's actually pretty sweet! Who'da thought that?)
Fuckit, pre-order uncancelled.
You guys had better be right about this though or I am never buying another Bioware product.
Actually, the final product of DNF was really in development for no more than 2 years, each build of the game from other devs were very, very different from the final product. (Obviously)
I'm genuinely frightened at the thought of the Collector ship on insanity
:C
HOT
(Mass Effect 3 plot spoilers/speculation) It's entirely possible that this Prothean was a part of The Crucible project during his time but had to go into stasis for a time where he and his comrades could come out before the Reapers arrive, create the Crucible or whatever anti-Reaper device, destroy them, and be heralded as gods. In fact, the Prothean data cache on Mars may even direct Shepard to what he believes to be a secret weapon when in actuality it is the last remaining member of the Crucible Project. Cue Crucible construction, Prothean assists you and tells you important shit needed for the Crucible. There may even be more to the Conduit Project from Mass Effect than we realize. Whatever.
Other than that possibility, he could give insight to the Protheans as to who they were and fill in some gaps on what we currently know of the Protheans.
Bottom line is it's too early to tell anything for certain and our best bets are to wait for the game (I've said this no-brainer comment before)
A handful of people who frequent this thread have been doing that since the leaks first surfaced. I'd just ignore it/them.
Harbinger is a CUNT on insanity.
You literally have to get used to clearing a room of collector's faster than he can spawn. He's so fucking annoying with that black hole thing. argh.
Eh, we're supposed to be talking about this.. whether it be arguing or not.
I like how you call everyone a nerd when you disagree or dislike something going on inside a thread in the most dismissive manner, like dysphemisms are the only 'language' you know how to speak in times when you're too lazy to engage in an actual conversation, because it might require some effort.
And then, after being certain that you've avoided the need to use your brain and what little debate skills you may have, you run up into your ivory tower and act as though you're not the cancer of the ME thread, responding to everyone's posts and telling all of us that you have a boyfriend every five or ten minutes.
This guy.
Okay, I'd actually love some help from strategists.
I'm running a Soldier (boring, I know, slag me for it later, KK). What's my best loadout with squads and guns?
I usually roll with the
-Mattock
-Collector Beam
-Geth Shotgun
-Phalanx
-Default Sniper (can't remember the name)
And my standard crew is usually Garrus/Miranda
Advice?
Day 1 DLC is not a double negative, several other Bioware in the recent future had it, including (the spotless, flawless, no mistakes ever blahblahblah) Dragon Age: Origins and (the bad, horrible, incredibad blahblahblah) Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 2.
Step outside and take a deep breath, this is just a game, dude, relax.
Except he turns out to be indoctrinated anyways, so literally everything he says is suspect.
can I have less RUINED FOREVER in my mass effect thread
Good but I'd used:
-Vindicator (mattock works here too until you get the Revenant)
-Collector Beam
-Geth Shotgun
-Phalanx
-Incisor
with Mordin and Zaeed.
I actually haven't mentioned my Boyfriend, (untill just now) and whenever I do, its just in passing. If the fact I have a lover sets off something deep inside you, I'm truly sorry for how lonely you are.
And you're right, I can't be assed to join a bunch of people flipping the fuck out over stupid shit like DLC and tiny add-ons when the game isn't out yet.
How about you act like an sensible adult, wait for the game, and than make a judgement before flipping out and proving you never had to deal with a real problem in your life?
I might be a gottam minority, but I'm counting down the minutes until ME3
Pre-ordered Collectors edition, baby! SO EXCITED!
I don't see why you're all "RUINED FOREVER, BIOWARE SUCKS!"
Game's not even out yet! I'm certain it'll have all the things we loved about ME2. Little secrets, witty dialogue(I predict at least 3 memes), great character moments, and above all else, shooting and lootin' that's tighter than a nun's vagina. IF the combats as solid as ME2, I can't wait!
Although, I bought DNF balls of steel, so I might not be the best judge of things.
ME2 day 1 DLC was free.
ME1 and ME2 were good and has the same writers. I don't think ME3 will cock this the fuck up.
