40 hours? How long were the past ME games?

20-25 hours main quest only content, anywhere from 35-60 hours with sidequests. The first game ran towards 80 for completionist but it was a lot of filler.

40 hours isn't bad or anything although if its the usual dev exaggeration then there might be a lot less side content than even ME2.

Just wait and buy the ultimate GOTY pack 12 months from now. There's no need to reward this if you don't like it.

That'd be a good idea, except ME2 never had such a release... Ergo, Latin, there's a good chance that you then never get it.

Also, as far as I can recall, the ME2 DLC NEVER went on sale either.

For the record, I started and finished Mass Effect 1 and in the process of finishing Mass Effect 2 and realised that there is a lot of content missing from the main game, made as DLC:

Kasumi - Stolen Memory: 2 Missions, 1 Squadmate, 1 Location, 1 Submachine Gun and 1 Upgrade.

Overlord: 4 Assignments, 1 Location and 1 Upgrade.

Lair of the Shadow Broker: 1 Mission, 1 Temporary Squadmate, 1 Location, 6 Upgrades and 2 Cabin Items.

Arrival: 1 Assignment, 1 Location and 3 Upgrades.

All this are long, are not included in the main game (even if you have Digital Deluxe Ed. or Collector Ed.) and some (like Arrival or Lair of the Shadow Broker) are really worth playing, but damn, they are really expensive!
DLC is getting out of hand. I know that A LOT of content wil be missing from Mass Effect 3 from day 1 and made as DLC. Its a shame as I dont plan too buy it, as I didnt buy Mass Effect 2 DLC...

"- The content in “From Ashes” was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification." Yeah right...

I don't actually agree with any of these. All these DLCs came out LONG after the main game, so in that case I think it's clear they were developed after the main game shipped. i have no problem with those, especially since I quite enjoyed all of these.

Zaeed's DLC pack and this From Ashes pack were both created at the same time, were ready at launch day, and are simply being sold separately to raise profits.

Why is people so retarded about RAGE and it's textures? Megatexture is a tech that will do better as hardware progresses... RAGE is 22gb and uses ~1,2gb of video memory in my system.

Why on earth would you want higher res textures? To whine about a 50gb download? Or to whine because your video card can't handle it?

Yeah, Space Marine was a steal at sixteen bucks, too good to pass up.

Oh THQ. If only you'd done Red Faction Guerilla II :P

Armaggedon was not as bad as people make it (I actually enjoyed as long as it lasted) but a Guerilla II would have been at least 10 times more exciting, that's for sure.
