Initial [non-troll] views on The Arrival from /v/:

(click to show/hide)

"Arrival: 3/10, Action intensive, Hackett! Awful 'bridging' mission, poorly written, no real choices, Solo mission only, short and very expensive for the content,"

"I read a preview that said Arrival would take 2-3 hours to complete. I steamrolled it in under one, and I never skipped a single line of dialogue. I've seen bigger DLC thrown out for free."

"Arrival is a monument to Mac Walter's influence on the series. Shit, linear, inaccurate, full of plot holes."

"Its like an hour long. It's only worth pirating."

"If you really like ME, then yes. If you plan to play it in any other difficulty other than Insanity, and you only moderately care about ME, then don't get it. It's kind of short."

so it's bad

Yup, probably. /v/ liked all of the previous DLCs, but they're also rather disgruntled after Dragon Age 2.

I will still acquire it and play it for myself, though.

just dl it from isohunt lol, no need to pay for crap,

the only character DLCs that were good were Kasumi and Liara's, anything else was probably arse, Zaeed looks like and arse as well

I don't regret buying it, though I have to agree with the shooting, there's a lot of shooting lol. Still worth playing, imo.

Now, I'm not one to encourage pirating games, but aren't the DLC downloads pretty easy to pirate? I mean, it's just an .exe file that seems to work for other people's installs as well?

It was satisfying to leave him to die, though.

So, I installed the Arrival today, to my surprise:
-Final DLC with Battarians, wow, didn't expect that theme to be in motion, I mean it, if there will be more ME (4,5,6) and they will put final DLC's with Battarians, i'm gonna laugh.
-Unstable package, again, no saved game working in the mission area, surprised-not!
-This is really weird, i played the game for the kicks a bit ago, and it was quite fine, now after installing the DLC the game is terribly choppy, and crashes on random, I can't even change the weapon loadout cuz it crashes the game down, really terrible work BioWare.
