Mass Effect 2's Weak Link "The Arrival"
Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games of all time, in my opinion. It doesn't mean that it does everything perfectly. Specifically, the game is known for having some of the best DLC content in gaming. However, one of them has always stood out to me for having been incredibly weak, at least in comparison to all of the other wonderful story based content in we were treated with over the course of the trilogy.
Arrival. It's overly simplistic and way to quick to be a proper lead in to Mass Effect 3 as it was intended. I remember years ago playing it and having this reaction of "That was it?" As usual, as time goes on, opinions and tastes change, so I figured I would withhold my judgement, until I experienced it again with the Legendary Edition. I had the same reaction.
It doesn't ruin Mass Effect 2, or it's impact on me and gaming, but it leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to story telling and pacing. In this video I provide a number of ways that they could have provided more drama and suspense throughout the DLC.
