I don't know, I started the game on Insanity when I first played the game and almost regret playing it that way. There were many "fuck you, game" moments.

What does 'HUB' stand for?

For me, it seemed to crash if my cursor was moving when I "dropped" the skill into the slot. Try to make sure the cursor is still when you release the mouse button.
Edit - I really hope today's Overlord release for PC comes with the patch, so ridiculous that this crash still exists (not to mention I'm very tired of the squad ammo bug).

I too started on insanity, but I had the almost opposite reaction; Lots of fuck awesome moments. Then again, I am pretty good at breaking RPG systems (Also started Dragon Age on Nightmare).
And yeah, it is the level scaling that fucks things up. Both you and the enemy are th same level, but they have fully upgraded gear, you do not.

lol ).One of the biggest reasons why I am happy I got the Pc version. Halfway through the game, I went to town on the .ini files.

I see, why do you write it all in caps then? Are you one of those people that writes MOD or VALVe as well?
On-Topic, I'm really looking forward to this DLC, will be buying tonight.

it was pretty easy (especially compared to something like Gears of War on anything but easy).
And yeah, I know it is not directly the level scaling that is the issue (though if you think of upgrades as being stats you get for being at a specific level, then it might as well be. In that case you start at level 1, the enemy at 30(or w/e)).

Nah, I wasn't sure and ended up picking the wrong choice. If only the magic blue text existed in real life
:lol BTW, to those playing, be careful when picking up the packages because they're only saved after completing a mission, so if you pick up five and die, you'll have to pick them up again. I suppose it's best to get two at a time.

I'll probably replay it all before the release of ME3. I'm still hoping they will somehow release a patch or dlc that will change the NG+ system.Finished! It's actually four missions plus the collectables. Probably Bioware's best DLC to date, I think. It didn't bridge anything, but it was a very enjoyable two hours of Mass Effect 2 with an uncharted planet which isn't bad at all. The "story" missions were similar to the ones in the game, with a few light puzzles and the waist-high structures a bit better integrated, but where it really shines is the hub world. If they manage to make the transitions between the hub and the missions seamless (just let me choose my squad once and let me change it in the menu if I want) and some more verticality for the exploration ME3 will be awesome. I hope they can cram in 20 or so of these as sidequests.

Man, the last DLC I got was Zaeed.
I cannot wait until they release the last one and I play it all in one glorious playthrough...

this is their best dlc easily
took them long enough but they finally got the vehicle sections right. the way you platform through and fight in a open ended area to collect the data packets in the over world is how mining shouldve been in the game. hope they flesh it out and make this the mining part of Mass3.
Landing in a planet, fighting some stuff while exploring/platforming to get the minerals with the hammerhead is amazing

Agghhhh I want this so bad. The PC version better be out by 3 when I get home later.
Completed. Definitely the best ME 2 dlc yet. I guess the one that is the most similar to Bring Down the Sky. A hub planet (not huge by any means, but very pretty) where you're rewarded for exploration (it was a bitch looking for that last data pack).
I think the Hammerhead this time was more enjoyable than it was in Firewalker, so that's a plus. Just a shame you can't actually exit the vehicle.
The DLC itself, is varied enough through mission to mission. I really enjoyed it, a nice follow up to Kasumi. I think fans are going to like this one.

They added NG+ late in the dev cycle. The option wasn't originally intended to be in the game. On the old BioWare boards they made a thread asking for feedback and the overwhelming response was to please bring it back. The devs came in to work on their personal time and shoehorned it in. That's why it's not as full featured as the NG+ in ME.

So I take it I need to complete the Firewalker DLC before I can play this, seeing as it uses the Hovertank?
From a Joystiq interview.
Not surprised they're talking numbers this big, but after ME2 I'm certainly not expecting these variables to make much of an impact.

Damn, Overlord was fucking good. There was a great piece of new music (I think) during the final cutscene. Art as usual was fantastic. The Hammerhead gameplay is great as well. I loved the Firewalker pack so it's good to have more of it here with new twists thrown in. The variety in environments is superb.
My favorite moments were:
While it doesn't really tie into main story, it's a really nice piece about the darker side of Cerberus. I really want more DLC along these lines (set up mission > hub > couple missions to tackle in any order > finale, all on one world with locations as nice varied as this) and an expansion because I am a junkie for anything Mass Effect.
For the first time, I did experience a couple crashes though
My favorite moments were:
taking out the Geth cannon while it targeted you and the final segment before the ending where everything is basically Tron. The effects in both those sequences look awesome.

So, what's this now? Any specifics?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Bought and finished Overlord.
Really, really enjoyed it. BioWare were talking out of their ass when they said this would have more dialogue though. There's hardly any. Luckily the dialogue that is there is great, and the story is pretty great even if it doesn't add much to the base Mass Effect 2 plot.
Considering the price I'd say its worth it.
