Duke Togo Posted March 19, 2010 Author Posted March 19, 2010 Mass Effect 2 'Alternate Appearance Pack' DLC adds new costumes According to BioWare, an upcoming DLC pack for Mass Effect 2 -- the Alternate Appearance Pack -- will feature new outfits for "your favorite squad members." Apparently, you don't like Miranda, Jacob, Grunt or Mordin, because this pack includes new costumes for Garrus, Thane, and Jack. While these new outfits seem like an appropriate fit for the Cerberus Network, this is actually the second announced premium DLC offering for Mass Effect 2. Available on March 23rd, the pack will set you back $2 on Xbox 360 or PC. Let's hope the upcoming Kasumi's Stolen Memories add-on will be a bit more reasonably priced than these costumes.
David Hingtgen Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 2 bucks is about as cheap as DLC ever gets. That said I will definitely be passing on these, as they're my least-used characters. I'll just wait for a pack with Samara/Morinth costumes (it'd be neat if they made a Morinth-only one). (no matter what a new Tali costume will still just be an environment suit--they can't change it much)
Duke Togo Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 I use Garrus alot. For 2 bucks they have me sold on it.
eugimon Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/22/mass-eff...lc-priced-at-7/ So the Kasumi DLC is priced at 7 bucks for 360 and PC.
Duke Togo Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/22/mass-eff...lc-priced-at-7/ So the Kasumi DLC is priced at 7 bucks for 360 and PC. Considering what Activision is charging for a few extra maps for MW2 multiplayer, this is a steal.
David Hingtgen Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I'm sure penty of people will have played through it all the day it comes out, so I'll see what they have to say before deciding.
eugimon Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I'm pretty sure I'll pick it up, I haven't started my second run through yet and it'll be nice to have all the extra missions and extra character to freshen things up
Duke Togo Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 Total stealth release of Firewalker. Haven't played it yet, though.
Duke Togo Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Underwhelming. The mini-story they are trying to tell is vague at best. No additional dialog outside of the Hammerhead talking to you briefly, and a few data pads. If played during the normal course of the game you might not notice this as much, but on it's own, it's not particularly well done. But hey, it's free, right? edit: Forgot to say that this DLC really feels like a test bed for vehicle exploration in ME3. Edited March 30, 2010 by Duke Togo
Axelay Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I have to say that I'd buy the costume pack simply because Garrus' damaged armor drives me crazy. Surely he could get a new suit at some point.
David Hingtgen Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 A gig? Yeesh. Do not have that much room. (2 discs for ME 2 takes up like 90% of the basic HDD, and MS wants WAY too much for newer/bigger ones)
BeyondTheGrave Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 A gig? Yeesh. Do not have that much room. (2 discs for ME 2 takes up like 90% of the basic HDD, and MS wants WAY too much for newer/bigger ones) try ebay. or buy the ffxiii bundle and never worry about hdd space again
David Hingtgen Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 I complain about the price of a stand-alone HDD, and you suggest buying a whole new 360 bundle?
eugimon Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 I complain about the price of a stand-alone HDD, and you suggest buying a whole new 360 bundle? that way you have a spare 360 for when your current one dies.
Lynx7725 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Its a win win situation. Given the certainty of RROD, more like a sure-win situation...
VT 1010 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 That's what I did. When my Elite RROD'ed, I popped the HD out and stuck it in my old Premium. I didn't have to worry about being without a 360--or running out of storage. I love redundancy...
Duke Togo Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 I haven't played it yet, but the overwhelming sentiment on the official forums is that the Kasumi DLC mission (missions?) is among the very best in the game, and worth the price.
Duke Togo Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Kasumi's mission was well done and fun. It's also a cake walk at level 30.

eugimon Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Liara DLC next? http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/19/rumor-ma...iara-tsoni-dlc/
David Hingtgen Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 That's an old rumor, similar info was found out a while ago---they just didn't bother to extract the audio and put it on youtube. I currently have about 99% faith in it. Since the exact same stuff/info pointed to "DLC about a thief named Kasumi" when ME 2 first came out. "DLC with Liara and the Shadow broker" was found soon thereafter.
Duke Togo Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 I hope this one is on the larger side. I wouldn't mind paying more for something with a bit more meat on it.
eugimon Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I hope this one is on the larger side. I wouldn't mind paying more for something with a bit more meat on it. considering it's about taking down the shadow broker I hope it's more along the lines of the Dragon Age expansion than just a mission or two.
David Hingtgen Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Playable Liara would make it all worth it.
eugimon Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Playable Liara would make it all worth it. I keep hoping there's something special setup for if you didn't sleep with anyone in ME:2 and stayed faithful to your ME flame.
David Hingtgen Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I find it kind of ironic that my ruthless renegade---saved the entire crew (even Kelly) and was faithful.
BeyondTheGrave Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 LEGO Normandy: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/188396 Coming soon... Lego Mass Effect And for some reason I'd play it.
David Hingtgen Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 He made Sovereign too: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/193819
eugimon Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 thousands of dollars worth of legos and the dude can't buy a camera that actually focuses?
Wanzerfan Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) I heard a rumor about Grunt concerning his skills once you gain his loaylty (or lack thereof) in Mass Effect 2. The rumor is that BioWare didn't want Grunt to have a skill set tied to loyalty and the way around it is to show he has one, but not to give the players access to it. My brother got his loaylty but couldn't put points into his loaylty skill set, and he's wondering if it's a glitch, as am I. Edited June 12, 2010 by Wanzerfan
kaiotheforsaken Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Pretty sure I was able to apply points to everyone's loyalty including Grunts.
