The listing appears to be an unlock key, as there are no downloadable packages. Is that right?

Yeah, the game has a 9 gig patch now. I actually checked a few games last night and quite a few seem to be going this huge patch route now, somewhat troubling, kind of wondering if it's still worth tracking patch sizes.

Helldivers is good but I'm getting tired of PS+ games being games I bought on pc two weeks earlier. :argh:

I'll probably poke at Nom-Nom Galaxy and Nova though, which is more than I can say about last month's stuff.

No, they're all sidegrades for existing weapons and stratagems except the snow boots.

None of them are strictly necessary, but the Ranger pack's Humblebee UAV is probably the single best call-in in the game because it reveals all samples on the map.

My favorite opening is probably Graces, cause I really like the song.

Xillia 2 going on sale is also good, though I should really finish Xillia 1.

the characters are pretty solid and the combat feels good. the only thing that kinda sucks is the camera can get hosed up if you get into a battle in a narrow hallway since there's no separate battle arena screen anymore. otherwise it plays like a nicely streamlined tales game.

On the other hand I did not enjoy Zestria as much as the others. Holy poo poo that bad camera, and then there's the combat which takes a while before becoming more flashy & over the top. Xillia 2 has everyone in classy suits and there's quite a bit of jazz, making it my favorite of the bunch that's on sale. There's some bad stuff, though, like not being able to switch characters on the world map, reused assets, but I thought the setting and combat made up for it.

Tales of Vesperia is quite a step up from every other Tales game I've tried, especially in terms of characters, plot, and dialogue. I keep trying new Tales games hoping one of them will live up to it and am always disappointed.

Same. It was also the first Tales game I played. I kinda regret that as every Tales game I've played since feels like a step back.

So, I need a non-spoiler guide to Mass Effect 2 and 3 as regards DLC. At what point should each one be played? I've held off playing the sequels for years, and want to make this run as good as possible.

The DLCs for Mass Effect 2 can pretty much be played anytime without any serious effect on the story. You'll generally want to finish everything (sidequests, loyalty missions, etc.) before the final set of missions (the game will be pretty clear when that is).

With regards to ME3, I haven't played Omega or Leviathan so I can't tell you anything about them, but Citadel should be played near the end of the game so you have all available characters.
