Ditto!

Ive started it a few times, but havent got into the story yet. Ive got a month off coming up in a few weeks when i have an operation, so hopefully get a chance to enjoy it then

I'd say stick to the main quest which is brilliant. The side quests are far too samey and are pretty much copy and paste, right down to having virtually identical map layouts.

I just had to replay the ending bits on Insanity

Good times!
Now to start the game over with my lv60 soldier git to see what this mission is like.

edit: lol @ wrex's pinky armour I left him with. Initiate Admiral Anderson Clenchfist

How much time does this add to the game?

Kainz · 10 Mar 2008 at 12:10

Apparently 90mins, but I'd estimate 30.

I'll not bother re-buying the game then.

Worth the dl, even if it is 30 mins.

Kyle009 · 10 Mar 2008 at 13:47

Well at the RRP of £17 for 2100 points its about £3.25

edit. damn too late.

Am I the only one who feels a little dissapointed that its taken them this long to release 30-90 minutes of extra content for Mass Effect - the game was hardly as long or epic as they promised before release and Im surprised its taken them so long to release something, as given the generic nature of the side quests, and cut down length in comparison to initial expectations, it'd seem simple to presume they had some unfinished content excluded from the release game, ready to be patched/added a short while later; whereas its taken them about 3-4 months just to get what seems a small side mission added

Must admit, I was hoping for a good few hours.

Kainz · 10 Mar 2008 at 14:37

Just finished it in 40mins. Thought it was pretty good for the price, a lot better then what I was expecting anyway. It is your average mission though - just a bit longer with FMV bits and a few important decisions on the way. Sick of that bloomin Mako though...
