Mass Effect 1 DLC Announcement ... Delayed

Mass Effect 1 DLC Announcement ... Delayed
Written Saturday, June 27, 2009 by Dan Webb

Earlier on in the week we reported that there would be Mass Effect 1 DLC news before the close of the week, as per BioWare's community manager, Chris Priestly, via Twitter.

Priestly, or Evil Chris as he goes by on the tinterweb, recently tweeted that the news would in fact not be coming this week after all.

The tweet read, "due to circumstances beyond my control (me being stupid on timing), any news of more ME1 DLC will have to wait. Sorry folks."

Despite the initial disappointment, we can't help but think that the news is still awfully close and will keep our ears close to the ground.

Watch this space.

No tears shed on my part, it comes when it comes and I'll either enjoy it or I won't. Just the fact that its Mass Effect seldom disappoints me.

Most likely a day one purchase for me as well. Can't wait to see what it is.

I thank Chris for at least trying to inform us on the dlc even if he jumped the gun a bit. I eagerly anticipate the new content

I'm used to DLC being delayed, but I've never seen an announcement about DLC delayed before.

i deleted my old save and i sold my old copie i was saving my save for ME2 but now i have to get it again and actually play it.

I really can't see the point in them bringing more DLC for ME1 seeing as how ME2 is on the way? Unless of course they're using it to introduce some of the new things in the next game?

They don't call him "Evil Chris" for no reason.

@ #17

um, to put it lightly I find it amusing you call the retail release of Mass Effect a 2/3 finished game when i spent roughly 130 hours total with this title.

what do you call the recent Terminator Salvation? 1/32?

At the end when you got through the relay on illos my game just says its not readable. Hopefully I will fix or rent before this.

@17

For somebody who hates MS so much you seem to have a pretty high GS.

im still planning on getting this no matter wut, i got mass effect this year so im still playing it

Comment #37 by The Globalizer

Hoping there's a fair amount of GS tied to this, and a good amount of XP in it. (I only have Extreme Power Gamer left before I 100% it.)

a little late to be coming out with DLC. But I am sure to get it. What a pain in the ass 100% but a very good game. At least the first 2 playthroughs!!!

Watch it be some type of patch that allows you to stop and swap between this game and mass effect 2. No new content, not really even DLC.

Monday, June 29, 2009 @ 06:34:45 AM

Well, the delay doesn't bother me cos this is the first i've heard of it. Should be awesome, hope its got some substaintial gameplay unlike the first dlc, better be more than a pescy 50 points tho, i mean seriouslt WTF is the point in just addng 50 points. I guess the 1st dlc was only 400MSP tho

Comment #45 by IWi11KickU
Monday, June 29, 2009 @ 07:35:47 AM

I'm holding about 1200 points, just so I can get this day 1, no matter the cost.

#17: How is Mass Effect incomplete? I've beaten the game over 13 times and I still play it from time to time, it isn't incomplete.

I wish the gameplay had been better. The storyline was the best out of any game in this console generation besides Braid but the game didn't play smoothly when it came to shooting and taking cover. It was hilarious seeing Seth Green.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
