I'm surprised there was never an enemy that had all of the above with Health/Armor/Shields/Barrier bars. Like ME3 really should've had a final boss that did that. Or a final boss at all.

I do like how they at least found a pretence of justifying its existence, even though it was obviously hastily tacked-on because everything has to have multiplayer, but knowing how terribly rushed the third game was and how much cool content had to be cut due to time and funding, I'd much rather have had some of that back than a multiplayer mode nobody was asking for. If they really wanted it, making the Citadel DLC Armax Arena multiplayer would've worked. Or add a co-op mode to the campaign - it is a squad-based game, after all.

so on Thessia... I kicked Kai Leng's ass so hard I broke the game <_< I managed to get him down to no health... to the point where he no longer had a health bar and was listed as just an npc which is great except you can't move forward

Imo the citadel dlc is just terrible. the whole thing feels like I'm playing some fan made mod of someone's mass effect fan fic. Sure the party is fun and all but it just feels really out of place

I know my take is a def not the popular option, most fans love the dlc and honestly I wish I enjoyed it more then I did. But I just can't help but look at things they did for it and shake my head, like Mordin not only sleeping with Arya but screwing her over. And you see that and you'll think nothing wrong with that just a fun new mordin tidbit, but then you think on it for more than a few seconds and you go wait Arya is not the kinda of asari who would let something like that slide, especially not if he sticks around Omega (which he does running a clinic).

Do you mean that detective book he was writing? Because thats not something that actually happened. The joke is Mordin doing dumb genre stuff, playing on this singing and cultural interest. Its fiction. Anyway, to each their own. Its utter fan service, but for me the best kind. What ME3 nailed was understanding that the relationship with your squad is the best part of the game. As a narrative decompress but also a chance to celebrate that with a wink and a nod I think it's a tremendous success.

In a game as dark as ME3, the fact that it revels in its lightness makes it the perfect way to cap things off without anything any of the characters do ever feeling forced. It's a love letter to the fans who fell in love with these characters, and easily one of the best DLCs ever released IMHO.

I admit, when you take the picture of your whole squad on the couch I got a little weepy

Citadel was awesome. It’s such a heavy game that it’s good to lighten it up a bit. I always do it very last, before the attack on Cerberus.

I got really addicted to it when the original was released, despite not usually being a huge fan of online multiplayer. The co-op nature of it, and opportunity to play as the other species of the ME universe with limited character/colour customisation made it exactly up my street. That said, I was a sucker for the microtransactions, they drew me in more than any game I've ever played, so in a way I don't miss it.

I forgot about the MT's I don't think I bought any for it... but yeah... I could see not missing it for that reason. (I'm not surprised they had it cause EA... but still) but yeah teh squad coop thing was a ton of fun.

I'm surprised the DLC's for the original ME3 are still as expensive as they are on the 360. Like, you could buy Legendary Edition for like $20 more.

They were pretty expansive DLCs, except From Ashes. But that gave you a new character and a lot of backstory on the Prothians further on in the game. The other three though took a good chunk of time to beat and added a lot to the game. I’ll go one further than Mighty Attack Tribble went and say that ME3 has the best DLCs of any game period, not just Citadel. Leviathan added so much to the Reaper backstory and Omega was great. I’d have just done the ending a little different.
