Leviathan pre-view

No, I do not know anything about the Leviathan DLC. No, I haven't played it. Nobody at BioWare knows who I am and that's not likely to change soon.

So this blog post is just going to be me pre-emptively complaining about it. Because we all like that.

So there are two things I know about it: that you're hunting Leviathan, a Reaper-killer; and that you'll be cruising around underwater in a special ATLAS mech.

Psst, if Leviathan could kill Reapers, recruiting it sucessfully would totally change the ending, not just "foreshadow" it or whatever word BioWare wants to use. So my guess is that Leviathan is dead or dying, and won't really make that big a contribution to the overall war effort. Or best case scenario, it's about as useful as the Rachni Queen.

As for the ATLAS mech... look, Mass Effect 3 has the greatest gameplay of the three games, everything's smoothed out, the added diving/rolling mechanic is pretty awesome. That said, the ATLAS stuff is the most boringest part of any combat. At least on the PC, the thing takes forever to turn around, you can't use the shift key to access your radar like you normally can, and its very low firing rate honestly makes hijacking the thing more trouble than it's worth.

By the way, I'm totally buying the DLC anyway.
