Maybe I'm just going crazy, but I'm almost certain Zaeed was day 1 dlc with Kasumi following a month later. Both had 0 impact on the story at all. Though to be fair, ME2 had a story? Lair of the Shadow Broker and the Collector Ship was about as exciting as the campaign got in ME2, I still to this day question its glowing reviews after 3 playthroughs.
This ME3 issue is just fans being whiny as always. They act self-entitled as though this is as bad as Capcom having all 12 DLC characters on the disc for SFxTekken. I bought the digital deluxe edition for 55dollars on the PC through legitimate means, I imagine a lot of individuals slamming the game on metacritic probably purchased the game at a similar price but for the standard edition.
Should Bioware be excused? Not really, I'm not advocate for day 1 DLC, but when that DLC is offered at launch with a specific edition just learn to shop around. Don't mean to play devil's advocate here but I also heard ME3s launch price was reduced by $10 at certain retailers, the day 1 dlc is $10. Put the two together.
This is the first time I've felt the need to ever defend a Bioware game, for I'm not fan of SWTOR or DA2 as they were beyond disappointing, but ME3 so far is a massive step up gameplay wise from ME2 and I believe they should be praised for listening to the few people that critiqued ME2's overall shallow package such as myself and not purely be vilified for day 1 dlc. Day 1 DLC which nearly every game has today but consequently said other game's do not get slammed on metacritic's user score. |
By the day 1 DLC for Zaeed was free with new purchases of the NORMAL game, if I remember correctly. Also I looked around a bit, all places around me seem to be selling it for 59.99, I might have missed one or two retailers and everyone is sold out of the collector edition. I would have picked up the CE edition had I known this fact. Day 1 DLC isn't typically a problem if it is free, or isn't absolutely vital in my opinion. Also no one I know is a fan of DA2.
I think the next option you have presented to me is always get the PC edition, pity I didn't invest in a good enough card for that at this time, and didn't start Mass Effect 1 on the PC.

Don't let save files deter you. I reformat my computer enough times to forget to backup my saves. There are websites and ME1 and 2 save editors that allow you to edit a ME2 save anyway you want. From every single plot, up to who you romanced. Just imported a ME2 save into ME3 and edited it the way I had my ME2 character before I reformatted.
As for the graphics card, the game isn't very taxing, I imagine you have a very old computer?
