Hmm spoiler free eh?

Okay, 10quid well spent. I'm rating this by how long i've played it against how long that tenner would have lasted in the pub so take that however you like

Yeah, story is quality, lots of dialogue, lots of shooting, some truly epic backdrops with a lot of attention to detail, read the notepads btw, lots more lore explained, and finally the M55 Argus Assault rifle, and to a lesser extent, the AT1 Raider shotgun, some multiplayer weapon mods made it into the dlc too, which is nice You'll get about 2-3 hours out of it on it's own.

out of ten? Solid 8.

how is it accessed, does the main game interfere with it or can i do it at any time.

Load a save or continue.

You should get a new message from Hackett I think saying to go to the citadel to meet a guy.

Sin é

Today. (at about team-time is usual).

Pricing confirmed at 10e..

EG gave it a 7/10

It's up on the psn store now, it did not show up for me in the game's DLC option or searching the store for mass effect, found in the "latest" section of the store.

Downloading it now with my shìtty 3 mobile broadband. 2% done after around 15 minutes, should be finished sometime around mid-September at this rate.

I'm thinking of waiting to see what other DLC gets announced before buying Leviathan. If there is a lot of single-player DLC like ME2 I might hold off and buy a ME3 Game of the Year Edition.

I've got UPC internet since start of the month and my PSN download absolutely crawl. I really don't get it

My older broadband was so much quicker.

UPC's speedtest (laptop) says I have a download speed of 21.08mps.

Just finished it and I think it's the best DLC in the series. Reminds me of the first Mass Effect. Full voice cast really makes it feel like a proper mission.

Mine is the same. This is something Sony really has to address with the next PlayStation.

Leviathan seemed very short to me.

Finished it and I wasn't expecting it to be over.

Might reload it cos I may have missed something.

noodler

I am reloading the same section in Act 2 because the same cut-scene keeps freezing.

Third time now - required two forced PS3 shutdowns already.

EDIT: Third time seems to be a charm.

noodler

Okay finished the DLC.

Rather big Meh.

6/10 at a push and not worth 10e.

If you haven't bought it I'd say just youtube the ending - its he only payoff.


EDIT: A mod can take this down if they like but within the spoiler tags ahead I have a link to the end of the DLC. Could save you time any money.

Thanks for that noodler , I was waiting for feedback from players before I bought the dlc. going to pass on it for now.

FutureGuy

I really enjoyed the DLC. It was a bit short but adds a nice chunk of lore into the game.

And...

well played Bioware, the misinformation that Leviathan was a rouge reaper completely fooled me.

I'd heard already about that, both from rumour and from those EC files (mistake by BW).

noodler

By the way:

Some Levi discussion:

If the Reapers only started with Harbinger and they only increased their numbers by one every cycle (i.e. every 50,000 years).....then how would they ever get sufficient numbers?

Perhaps I misunderstood that part.

Operation VIGILANCE Weekend Operation September 7-9



Unexpected attacks have taken out several squads and damaged vital Alliance equipment. We will deploy drones to repair damage and investigate the nature of these attacks.
Squad Goal: Complete up to and including wave 10 on any difficulty without using a consumable (medi-gel, ammo, Ops pack or Cobra missile launcher)
Allied Goal: Complete 250,000 escort missions on any difficulty.
Special Circumstance: None

Individual Goal Success: All individual players awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack

:pac:

That looks incredibly easy. Pity my computer is broken.

The Squad goal is easy, but only if everyone know that there actually is a goal. Also, do not forget trolls who will have their goal completed and who will blast off a rocket with a few seconds to go. In addition, you cannot track if each of your team mates did not use an expendable.

You you need to do this witha friend on bronze imho.

In answer to your question noodler, the Reaper Extermination cycle has suppose to have been repeated for at least 37 million years. At least 740 cycles, so I guess that the minimum number of full Reapers.

That seems like a ridculously low number it has to be said.

Although maybe thats just the main ships rather than drones, destroyers etc.

Azza

Correct only 1 race each cycle is turned into a fully fleged reaper capital ship. The other species of a cycle are turned into destroyers and other support ships. Destroyers make up the bulk of the Reaper ship forces.

Bare in mind 37 million years may not be how old the Reapers are, its just the oldest known Repear after Habinger was a reaper corse that was 37 million years old.

You can find this info over on wikipedia and the Mass Effect wiki.

Is it enough for you yourself not use a consumable for this operation? Or does it have to be your entire squad that has to avoid using them?

I did solo runs on Bronze in an attempt to do it but

1st time: Got Bansheed on Wave 10 when attempting to upload

2nd time: Phantom out of nowhere one-hitted me...on Wave 10

3rd time: Upon reachong wave 10 I, for some unknown reason just used an ammo refill (reflex action)

4th time: I was blindsided again by another Phantom...on bloody.wave.10

if any team member uses any consumable, ye all fail the requirements.

Bronze geth solo. Geth cannot instakill. Also sellotape a coke cork over d-pad. That's the advice I was given.

J. Marston

Krogan, Firebase white, Geth, melee all the things.

You'll breeze through it, Krogans are bullet sponges on bronze.

If you use a vanguard or probably any of the newer N7 classes you can solo it, even if your weapons are ****.

noodler

Yeah, as I said, its not the difficulty.

Just bad luck with one-hoit kills.

More single-player and multiplayer DLC on the way but what's more interesting is a new game seems to be on the books.

Executive Producer Casey Hudson and his team are coming off an amazing eight-year run with the Mass Effect trilogy. But they’re not done yet. We are releasing more multiplayer content and we have more single-player stories coming throughout the next six months, including Omega which is coming in the Fall. But the Mass Effect universe is vast, and Casey and our teams have plans for another full game. “Where to go next?” with such a project has been a question a lot of us have been asking, and we’d all love to hear your ideas.

Not bothered about the single-player DLC anymore, finished with the story for good now and multiplayer is fairly dead too but a new game interests me.
