Have they commented on price for Leviathan?

Not that I've seen. My money's on 1200. Or at least I'm hoping it's long enough to warrant said price.

I thought we knew it was 800 points? Maybe I just imagined that.

Anyway, that trailer... Not to be "that" Mass Effect fan, but it seemed pretty shooty-shooty. More Arrival than Lair of the Shadow Broker. I don't know what to think yet. I want something that's character- and lore- driven, the way LOTSB was. Not just a "We Fight or We Die"™ shooting gallery.

Even the trailer shows characters using the wrong weapons?

God damn.

Hoo boy. I didn't even notice that the first time through, but now I can't unsee it. :(

Yeah, I'm hoping there's more to it, but I could very easily see it being what amounts to a handful of multiplayer maps taped together by hallways. It would be Arkham City's Harley Quinn DLC all over again, which seems to be becoming a new norm.


Tangent: I'll just leave this here.

Leviathan is confirmed 800 points. Regarding the weapons, aren't there new ones? Maybe those in the trailer are the new ones?

Excellent. Thanks, man.

Haha no matter what that trailer gave me goosebumps. SOB!

Wasn't there talk of Leviathan being free at one point? Ah well, it seems like it's going to be worthy DLC.

so Leviathon is the first, original reaper perhaps? he has the voice and tones of harbinger, which defined as "a person who goes ahead and makes known the approach of another; herald." which is fitting, leviathan in turn in described as, " Leviathan; and in Isaiah 27:1 he is called the "wriggling serpent" who will be killed at the end of time." which could be apt as it is rumored that he is the origin of the Reapers and brought the end to his cycle. The drawing and stuff shown are Egyptian, some cave man style, etc, all of which have a religion referencing Leviathan. If the end of a cycle heralds the Reapers, it seems to me that perhaps the noted Leafbug/cuttlefish look of the Reapers may have come from him, whatever it is. Perhaps the organic form of what the Reaps became embodied as?

Also, you notice all the biblical references and reapers? Sovereign (a group or body of persons or a state having sovereign authority.) calls itself Nazara which translates to "the Guarded one" or "Beautiful view" in Hindi, and taken from Nazareth, the home of Jesus or town of the creator. I am interested in playing through it for the story for sure just to get more info and stuff, and like how the cycles and overall story trends to the Christian Jesus tale from the main characters namesake, to his death and resurrection, to dying for the people, etc. Let's hope this gives us more story and not a 1 hour Brute Shoot.

NOTE: anyone catch the sphere Prothean relic at 0:27?

Encountered an interesting, although game-breaking, glitch today during a match on FB Hydra. Everyone familiar with how the screen spins while you're down/dead? I got downed, and died. Instead of going to the normal view of a teammate, the screen continued spinning from the gods' perspective while following my team.

When I revived the next wave, the view persisted though randomly zooming in/out and focused on me; I was stuck aiming at the ground and the left stick's directions rotated in accordance with the camera's degree of spin.

Anyone else ever encounter this? A brief google search didn't turn up any other instances.

IF it was 1200 pts ($15, for those of you unable to divide by 80 and understand Microsoft's utterly insane insistence on using points rather than real monetary values), it had BETTER BE longer than 2-3 hours (it's been confirmed to be around this length). I mean, ME2's DLC started at 560 pts ($7) and went up to 800 pts ($10). Why should ME3's start at 1200? That'd be REALLY stupid.

This is the kind of stuff that has me so excited for Leviathan. I love the depth (no pun intended) of the story and all the biblical references. Some may think it overkill, and prefer to not know some things, but I love it.

and anyone else see the water planet when it pans in and think... AHA!! it is the Kamino cloning planet!!!

me neither cuz that would be wrong making a bastard cross reference of Star Wars in my Mass Effect game. When i saw his custom Atlas too i thought it looked like a Mass Effect Bioshock Big Daddy suit

Chubby - if you want a lot of stuff referencing the hidden and religious material, spend a few hours in the mass effect Wiki and look up some of the names and events in there, there is some interesting stuff.

Heh. I have spent some time on the wiki, 'Mason. I'm that big an ME nerd. I eat that crap up because I'm a bit of a history and comparative religion buff.

Whenever I see the water planet, which I'm assuming is Dis (??) I always think of the battle on the Shadow Brokers ship. Not sure why, maybe the thought of fighting on that ship, with the weather effects beating on you just reminds me of the environmental effects in LotSB. I like in the trailer how they seem to give a legit reason for Shep to go on that leg of the quest alone vs. "this is a favor for me, this is a friend, you gotta go solo" like in Arrival.

And lastly: One doesn't simply refer to anything Mass Effect to the atrocity that was SW Episode 2. (even if they kinda do have a point.....).

I put nothing past EA. It was just a guess anyway.

I totally can't get into promoting characters again. For some reason I dread leveling back up to 20. Think I might just sit this weekend's event out.
