Mass Effect 2 add on lands in April
Bioware seemed ready to talk about ME2′s Kasumi: Stolen Memory add on today announcing that the add on will cost 560ms points (5 euro) and will include 90 minutes of new content, a new weapon and a loyalty mission achievement attached to the master thief character Kasumi (a female Thane by the look of things)
Players will also be able to play with Kasumi throughout the campaign, the character will react with other characters the same way Zaeed did in the day one DLC and will even unlock a new part of the Normandy where she will hang out in between missions.
That’s great and all Bioware but I kind of feel you should have created a much bigger world if you wanted to keep players playing for longer then 25 hrs it took to play though once.
Think Oblivion, why couldn’t there be more skill based side quests where Shepard could earn ranks in certain organisations and guilds. These could be added as cross trilogy DLC later this year that meant players would go back and play the last two games again, gaining resources that would help in the final fight with the reapers. Thats the kind of stuff I want from the Cerebus network, not another 90 mins (more like 40 if the last character DLC is anything to go by, unless Bioware skimped on the free DLC?) of a loyalty mission thats not going to have any real impact on me if I already played the finale.
