Re: New Mass Effect Expansion
It adds nothing to the story anyway, so...not really worth it.

Nothing to the main story perhaps, but Bring Down The Sky was actually pretty good as its own little aside.

Re: New Mass Effect Expansion
True, and it still cost money for us XBox users.  Worth the $5 though.

Re: New Mass Effect Expansion
All the comments I've seen have said not to bother wasting your money.

I didn't.  BioWare/EA's support of Mass Effect has been absolutely shameful.

Re: New Mass Effect Expansion
Nice little expansion if you like shooting a lot of people. But way too easy if Shepard is Lvl. 61 and has uber-pwn weapons. Its a good distraction if you have the money to throw around.

it's a ****ing joke, quickly packed together to fulfill the promise of more DLC (calming the fans) and to promote the sequel.

Is it downloadable for windows live, bought the PC version of the game.

More important though,

Is it worth the money?

Lovely, the Australian version seems to be going for the equivalent of $6.90.

It might have been worth it if it was 2-3 times as long.

Re: New Mass Effect Expansion
As much as I hoped for a new content, I'm not going to pay for some stupid "holodeck" theater, even if there seems to be a new weapon as price (which is pretty unnecessary, because I use the High-End Specter weapons for my team anyway).

To bad there is modding community/possibility to make some new planet side missions with new (and better structures). So it's just waiting for ME2 for me

I believe the point is referred to as "making money," or something like that.

  
Re: New Mass Effect Expansion
I actually thought it was worth it if you had one of those gift cards you can use as a credit card lying around. Had to use it on something right. That, and it got me from 56 to 60 just in time for Ilos and Citadel, Pt II. Plus, you finally got a place to replenish grenades :).
I shat all over that Shivan fighter....right up 'till his buddy got me.
