Mass Effect DLC live!

Hour-long Bring Down the Sky expansion up for purchase on Xbox Live
The first piece of Xbox 360 Mass Effect downloadable content, the hour-long Bring Down the Sky pack, has just gone live.

The pack includes a new mission on a renegade asteroid, that introduces the elusive Batarian race talked about in the prequel book (not that we've read it, cough).

A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, the story goes, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova.

Naturally Commander Shepard has to save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid hits, or you're going to get a lot of renegade points on your profile.

As previously explained, the new content doesn't take place after the game's conclusion, but in fact exists as a side-mission in the middle of the game. That means you'll need to dig out those save files if you've already completed the game.

It's up now for 400 Microsoft points (about three quid) - go, go, go!

Not a bad price.

Lets hope they produce more DLC for this great game.

I will be having this, bet it does'nt take 1 hour to do the mission though. Shame it's in the middle of the game as well, i'm going to have to do another playthrough.

Terrific game - only recently bought it but completed it (completely by accident) without doing ANY sidequests - the whole "rush to save the galaxy" I didn't feel I had time to stop and look around!

Just going through again trying to do all the side quests, THEN I'll look to buy this!

don't.....destroy......last......boss.......can't.......use.......extra......dlc........ :lol:
Posted by kricca
roger4000, I found that if you keep moving around the room in a circular fashion then the boss got stuck on the scenery loads.. free pot shots!

Exploit the bugs!
Posted by pishers
the last boss isnt that hard! must try harder roger4000 :D

i scratched my bleeding disc at the weekend so i cant play it until i get a new one :(

love this game, favourite in a long, long time. i hope the sequel isnt too long in the making

i would try this but i just can't drag myself away from online cod4 :?

Actually, the DLC is completely inaccessible as soon as you go to attack the rogue arbiter's base, just like how the rest of the galaxy is cut off in KotOR once you crash into the unknown planet.

SWEET!!! i'm at work right now, but best believe i'll be downloading this baby as soon as i get home.
Posted by funkyjack
I started a second play through on hardcore mainly just to play this, so I've been waiting patiently for a few weeks :)

Fantastic game, really enjoying it & off to download right now ...
Posted by Asaron
Mass Effect is absolutely fantastic, particularly as it draws towards its conclusion. Having said that, I thought the side quests were pretty tiresome and didn't bother doing many.

Presumably this extra content has the same kind of care put into it as the main storyline, but I'd be interested to know what people think of it.

Yup, ME is potentially my favourite game of all time.

I'm on my 3rd playthrough now (one paragon, one renegade), and I intend on leaving this one open so I can take advantage of all the upcoming DLC.
Posted by Macethy
I'm going,I'm going,Sheesh stop shoving. . .recently fininshed this (Awesome RPG thank you Bioware) gonna start again on Hardcore so can have something new to look forward to on my 2nd play through. :D

The Side-missions usually only took about 30mins from touchdown in the buggy. I was hoping for a full 1.5hr mission. Still, i'l get it for £3, cant complain about price.
Posted by bagofbones
just get a high charm skill and convince him to blow his brains out

tried and tested :D

also, the d/l content took my closer to 60min, thats exploring everywhere, finding the three dead engineers, finding the "radio", skipping no dialouge and getting killed once hehhe
