Damn, no PS3. I would have had to bite and replay the trilogy for that.

I purchased a few during the last sale, and now want to buy some of the ones i didn't get.

Any advice on whether i should buy ME2: Kasumi - stolen memory or if i should go with ME 3: Omega?

Still boggles my mind how EA didn't release a trilogy with all DLCs for 60 bucks for current-gen consoles, maybe Switch. That's a couple million copies of games sold for very little effort, guaranteed. Even a lot of people who already played them would buy them again due to the fact only Xbox One offers the chance to play them out of current-gen consoles natively and the difficulty of getting all DLCs otherwise.

EA tested the remaster waters with Burnout Paradise. And then called it quits :(

What's this "1 of 2" mention on the Citadel DLC ? It's supposed to be just one DLC.

Also I thought ME DLC could only be bought with Bioware points and this was why they were never on sale ? When did this change ?

I'd imagine it would've been one of the best selling remasters had they did that. For whatever reason, EA just wasn't into remasters. I think this E3 is the last chance for such an announcement. If it doesn't happen then, our only hope would be for trilogy to be X enhanced by the BC team.

It was split up in two pieces for some reason. You buy part 1 and part 2 is a free download, so the total price is that of part 1.

Thanks for the info. Always wanted to pick up the Citadel DLC. I didn't play the game for years, I hope that's not a problem. I think I need to load a savegame right before the final mission of the game.

I might as well pick this up since it seems like I'll be waiting in vein for a PC sale.

Hey EA... buddy... I noticed you did not put the DLC on Origin for sale. Could you do me a solid and put those on sale too...

Pretty sure that they were on sale when they went up for sale digitally finally (that's not confusing is it?) but they really seem to not like to go on sale... (edit: no wait. Actually I think I'm wrong on this. I remember the base games being on sale when each was made available for purchase digitally, but not the DLC. I never noticed because I always just paid full price for all the DLC as they came out. No regrets)

so thanks for the heads up, OP.

edit: man... there are a lot of sales going on now. "Spring Add-on Sale" "Capcom Publisher Sale," and "Activision Blizzard Collection Sale" on top of the weekly Deals with Gold.

Really crazy it took decades for some of these to get discounted. What was EA thinking here lol.

Alright, there it is, bought all of it (finally). I've never even seen ME3: Citadel before and I hear that one is a standout.

Still can't believe EA's not released a complete trilogy remaster, the thing would print money for them.

So which ones are the essential packs to get? I own Shadow Broker from way back because that was one I remembered people liking, but besides Citadel I don't remember what the good ME3 expansions are. There was one that Brad from Giant Bomb was basically saying should have been in the main game, is that From Ashes or Leviathan?

They sometimes put the Mass Effect and Dragon 2 DLC bundles on sale. Although, I don't recall if they have done it this year. Last sale, they were full price.

Both of them. From Ashes adds a crew member who is plot critical to the whole trilogy and Leviathan adds massive context to the Reapers.

Too little, too late! I remember waiting forever for Omega to go on sale, which was the only one I didn't have. And now it's too late. Pass.

Overall, the DLC was good quality. Just a bit ridiculous to be full price years and years later.

Omega is the only one I don't own so I guess i'll pick that up for next time I'm doing a trilogy playthrough
