KOTR II is regarded as the superior game to be honest.Quote:

Still yet to buy this game, will get around to it when i get time

I really hope they adjust the gunplay on ME1. I got it for cheap on Steam last year and the gunplay leaves much to be desired...
Not going to happen. Game is as is is. Hell they never fixed KOTOR and that had some significant performance issues.Quote:

Also Bioware put out an article on the making of the Omega DLC which was released a bit over a week ago.

Hi, my name is Fabrice Condominas, and I am the producer of Mass Effect 3: Omega.
The Mass Effect team has always had a special relationship with Omega, and it’s one of the most talked about locations in our community. Omega is home to the “lawless of the galaxy” as well as its calm, calculated ruler, Aria T’Loak. With the war against the Reapers requiring Omega’s resources, we had a reason to bring Shepard back to the asteroid and renew the Commander’s uneasy alliance with the station’s ruler.
Mass Effect 3: Omega promises an action-packed story that revolves around the themes of relationships and moral choices. During production, we first focused on character relationships. We decided early on to treat Omega, the station itself, as a character from a narrative standpoint. To do this, we needed to define the nature of the relationship between Aria and Omega—it is one of deep love, where passion and jealousy are involved. Aria’s thirst for revenge is not only driven by what typically motivates her—pride and power—and when she is faced with losing Omega, Aria becomes enraged like someone whose lover has been taken away.
To offset Aria, we introduced a calming force by ways of a brand new character: Nyreen. Former Turian military, Nyreen is the exact opposite of Aria—she is in control and pragmatic. Nyreen shares Aria’s dedication to the people of Omega and wants to liberate it from Cerberus occupation, and they also share a common past. This triumvirate between Aria, Nyreen, and Omega is the narrative anchor around which this pack evolves.
In this DLC, Shepard must make decisions based on Aria and Nyreen’s knowledge of Omega while balancing their radically different points of view on how to go about liberating the station. This leads us to moral choices, and we want the player to answer the following question: how far are you willing to go? Omega is a densely populated area, and the choices you make will have a tremendous impact on the civilian population. Following Aria’s vengeful path will certainly be efficient, but it comes at a cost. Nyreen’s approach will protect the people of Omega, but it’s a riskier mission.
Balancing Omega’s gameplay to accommodate Aria’s powerful biotics was a challenge for the BioWare teams in Montreal and Edmonton. Omega is a complex space that made combat design difficult. We also introduced two new enemies: the Rampart mech, a Cerberus killing machine built to control the civilian population, and a second enemy that I’ll let you discover for yourself.
Creating Nyreen, the first female Turian we’ve used as a central character in the series, was also a challenge. We wanted to make sure she would be identifiable as a female Turian on first sight. It took several iterations from our concept and character artists, softening the shape of her head and making subtle changes to her body, to reach that point while staying true to the turian morphology.
All told, we realized that to achieve everything we wanted in this DLC, we had to build a larger pack. The only constraints we had in terms of length were technical, and we were very lucky to have the luxury of developing the experience we wanted. I hope you will enjoy playing Mass Effect 3: Omega as much as we enjoyed working on it.

Operation Prophecy:
http://blog.bioware.com/2012/12/20/operation-prophecy/
Quote:
Operation: PROPHECY (December 21st-23rd)
Event Description:
Our successes on Earth have given us the capability to land materiel in several war zones. However, in order to conceal shipments to the resistance, each delivery needs corresponding strikes on Reaper targets to create a screening distraction. The operations to deliberately gain Reaper attention are extremely high-risk and will require increased numbers to spread thin Reaper reaction forces. For this mission, N7 commanders, wherever possible, will recruit and command supplemental volunteer units: recent graduates of our N7 program and soldiers who bring experience from other branches.
Challenge Goal 1: Extract once on each Earth map (London, Vancouver, and Rio).
Challenge Goal 2: Score 100,000 cumulative points against Reaper enemies.
Challenges can be completed at any difficulty.
Completion of both goals awards the player a Commendation Pack.
Completion of both goals also awards the player a banner, “Hero of the Last Days.”
New MP and SP DLC dated for Feb. 25/March 5th.

Went back and played ME3 for the first time in a about year. I forgot how good this game is.
First thing I did was play the Leviathan DLC, which had a good story. I'll probably buy the Omega DLC now, even though it's supposed to be too combat-heavy.
I still haven't seen the extended ending, so I'm looking forward to that. But I want to play the Omega and Citadel DLC first.
Awesome! Thank you!Quote:

I played the Omega DLC and the first hour of the Citadel DLC.
I thought Omega was definitely fun, and it had some great battle music, but it's not worth $15 since you don't get a new character or a new city. It's just a 3-4 hour mission.
I almost bought the Citadel DLC last night. How is it?Quote:

I only just got into it, so I can't really say. I spent a lot of time just going through the new apartment, which is really big and has some easter eggs to find.Quote:

I might pick it up tonight. Sounds fun.
I played the Citadel DLC for another few hours and I definitely recommend it now. Omega was only a mission, but this DLC also gives you an apartment, a new Citadel area with plenty of mini-games, and a virtual battle arena which is pretty cool. Plus, you can hang out with all your squadmates after the mission.
Be warned though; this is a very comedic and light-hearted DLC.
I loved the Citadel DLC. I liked it so much that I'm re-doing certain parts just to see what the dialogue changes are and I'm constantly and pleasantly surprised.
I was surprised at how much there is to do in this DLC. The party was really funny and I didn't even realize you can invite your squad-mates individually to your apartment after the party.
The combat simulator is also a cool addition. The fan mail requests/challenges is a very nice touch.
