Spectral Jester Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 BioWare has moved to defend Mass Effect 3’s day one DLC, From Ashes. Responding to angry fans on Twitter, series executive producer Casey Hudson claimed that the DLC didn’t go into development until work on the main game’s core features were complete. "On ME3, content creators completed the game in January & moved onto the "From Ashes" DLC," he said. "It takes about 3 months from "content complete" to bug-fix, certify, manufacture, and ship game discs. In that time we work on DLC. "DLC has fast cert and no mfg., so if a team works very hard, they can get a DLC done in time to enjoy it with your 1st playthrough on day 1. On #ME3, content creators completed the game in January & moved onto the "From Ashes" DLC, free w/ the CE or you can buy seperately." From Ashes contains a new mission, a character and outfits. It will cost 800 MSP. The Collector's Edition bundles the DLC for free. It's all available on March 6th in the US and March 9th in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 so, the DLC is avaliable on the SAME DAY as release? wow, that's stupid. surely you would make more of a sale selling it later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 They probably just took a mission out of the core gameplay and decided to charge 800 MP for it. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperIntendant Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The DLC is idiotic, Bioware can't be allowed to do this. I'm not buying this game, not anymore... I would be fine except with it except taking something away, something that has already been made! Something that is so important to the game's overall story! And only giving it to people who want to pay more, that's just wrong. $20 is a lot to some people, and what is being taken away from ME3 by this DLC is only comparable in the Halo universe to taking out the one mission in Halo that would explain what actually happend to the Precursors and what the Flood is really for. Making people pay extra for that is just wrong in my mind and goes against my beliefs on what is right and what is wrong in the game world. If I buy this game then I will be nothing more than a hypocrite, which is the exact reason why I won't be buying it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
