Countdown: Launch minus N1 day (and 70 Trailers) thread

/\ Ah, the good old days of red, green and blue colored characters in multiplayer dlc announcemets.

Launch minus N36 days to 3.21 Mass Effect Andromeda. (Counting down 70 trailers of Mass Effect)



Mass Effect 3 'Rebellion' (multiplayer) - May 29th 2012

"Retrieve that object and bring it in..."

The second multiplayer DLC hits the streets, including 'fetch the Pizza'...

How can you have a Cerberus defector? They're all indoctrinated and implanted with Reaper tech!

I never actually played ME3's multiplayer, but I have to admit these trailers make it look really fun, even for someone not super into combat like myself (I'm a story/character/romance/lore nut who thinks of combat as the mini-game addon ) Hopefully a number of the powers and weapons showcased here (I want those whips!) make it into Andromeda's SP campaign rather than being unique to MP characters.

I'm not even remotely conflicted about this trailer... it's basically garbage, IMO, in that it has so little to do with anything that actually was inside the game.  Not somewhat dishonest... basically totally dishonest.

Are they? I found Aria super underwhelming in combat for all her supposed bad-assery so I never bothered with her power (maybe I just leveled her up wrong, I don't know, but she was constantly dying on me). But good to know - though I'm not sure I wouldn't still use Reave or Dark Channel instead - the problem with those bonus powers was you could only have one at a time. But I also want things like that harpoon gun and that biotic bubble, the geth hunter ability, that blade gun the Batarian had, and that sword. I know some of these have been confirmed already - but my point was that the combat looked so much more varied and fun in those MP trailers than it was in the SP game. I just hope those weapons and powers aren't exclusive to MP this time (or that maybe we can carry them back into SP - that would actually motivate me to play MP a lot more).

Launch minus N35 days to 3.21 Mass Effect Andromeda. (Counting down 70 trailers of Mass Effect)



Mass Effect 3 'Earth' (multiplayer) - July 17th 2012

"Today, each of you must become more than a soldier..."

The 3rd multiplayer DLC: 'Earth' with its London, Rio and Vancouver maps.

Launch minus N34 days to 3.21 Mass Effect Andromeda. (Counting down 70 trailers of Mass Effect)



Mass Effect 3 Leviathan Trailer - August 24th 2012

"Something is very wrong here..."

This enjoyable DLC brought cuttlefish, The Abyss and endlessly checking an apartment... 

Leviathan is my absolute favorite DLC (I loved that apartment by the way - I love investigating and following clues and it was just a really cool space). It might even be my favorite side mission. Loved all the spooky stuff - from the people in that mining facility to just reading those notes on the ship and the underwater scene (so wish that was longer). The fact that I'm a fan of both Lovecraft and Bioshock may also be a factor in why I love this DLC so much. My only gripe with it is it should really have been part of the original game, since it explains the main antagonists (rather than just being a side plot - same with Arrival for ME2). And if you play it too early Shepard comes across as really dumb because all the main game dialogue assumes you don't know where the Reapers came from.

The Husk Head is awesome...

I remember calling those things Dominatrixes when they came out

Launch minus N33 days to 3.21 Mass Effect Andromeda. (Counting down 70 trailers of Mass Effect)



Mass Effect 3 'Retaliation' (multiplayer) - October 2nd 2012

"We have returned..."

Don't you just love those Praetorians?
And the first time a possessed Abomination exploded? Awesome.
