Title: Free Pinnacle Station DLC for Mass Effect PC
Post by: ManaByte on November 11, 2009, 07:11:57 PM: If you grabbed Mass Effect for PC during the Steam sale and want the $5 Pinnacle Station DLC for Free, here's a deal.

Wendy's is giving out $5 coupon codes for the EA store here:
https://wendys.promo.eprize.com/bigscore/

Just fill out the info and they'll email you the code. It says EA Sports but it works for anything at all in the EA store and since Pinnacle Station is $5, it's free with the code.

Edit: And it DOES work with the Steam version, I just installed it fine.

Pinnacle Station came out in August and EA charges $5 for it, but the Wendy's deal will get you it free.

Post by: Joe Molotov on November 11, 2009, 09:57:35 PM: Oh well, it's free. I was getting ready to do a ME playthrough anyway before ME2, so I'll check it out.

Title: Re: Free Pinnacle Station DLC for Mass Effect PC
Post by: cool breeze on November 12, 2009, 02:08:50 AM: yeah, I got both this and the old DLC for when I play ME1 on PC later on. I didn't bother with them on the 360 since they came out after I finished the game, and I assumed they were just extra side missions as crappy as most in the main game. But for free and there from the start, why not.

Post by: Joe Molotov on November 12, 2009, 07:59:27 AM: LOL, it's a battle arena. Why would they think anyone would want that? It's like the combat in Mass Effect is soooo great, they knew you'd be jonesing for more! :yuck

I did! It's another one of the unopened ones in the queue which I should have just waited for. I hate it when I think I got a good deal, and then I still haven't played it by the time Platinum Hits edition or GOTY Edition is released. For less than I paid.

Post by: Kestastrophe on November 12, 2009, 12:14:01 PM: I paid for the 360 Pinnacle Station as well :'(. I had to preserve my 100% achievements in that game

Post by: Yeti on November 12, 2009, 12:42:19 PM: I never knew about the second DLC for Mass Effect either. It's just an arena? No story or dialog trees?

It's a fun game. If you don't care about completion or 'cheevs, ignore the off-planet sidequests (which are all the same: drive shitty Mako around, find an item or two, find base, kills some dudes. Repeat.) and just stick to the main game, and you'll really enjoy it. It was a good game.

It's free on the PC, so who cares. I wouldn't spend spacebucks on it.

I actually liked ME's combat. The shooting was crap but throwing enemies around with the force-like powers was fun.
