"If youre going to trash talk me you'll have to do better than the last guy who was a couple kilometers taller than you."
That's a great line.

I "finished" the Citadel DLC just now. There's still a lot left to do after you finish the main mission in this dlc, so I'm going to keep my thoughts brief until I do it all.
Bottom line, if you fell in love with the ME series for its characters and its universe, you need to play Citadel. It is hardcore fanservice to the max, and it is well done fanservice. It's a fitting and final send off for the Shepard trilogy that is a bit cheesy at times, but never sappy.
I finished the main mission in 3 hours, and there's still a lot of content still left. The story is actually a lot of fun, and surprising. You get to see A LOT of new Citadel areas, and each of them are visually distinct and beautiful.
I really like this dlc. I felt a bit melancholy at the end when I realized that this was it, it's the end, no more new adventures with the cast of the ME series as we knew them over the past 5-6 years. I didn't feel this way when I finished ME3 a year ago, or when Leviathan came out, or when Omega came out. Citadel felt like a proper goodbye, an almost surreal and bizarre epilogue to the series.
For those who've been rebuffed by the ending of the game, this dlc will do nothing for you unless you love the comraderie between Shepard and his crew. That is what this dlc is all about.
I have no doubts that Citadel is the best of the bunch in regards to ME3 dlc. Well worth the money and time.

^^totally agree with you plasmid! I can't add much to what you've already said without sounding repetative but here are my 2cents.
This was the best DLC and definitely the ulitimate goodbye. I too "finished" it last night but still have quite a few things to do.
Like you said, if you play this game and enjoy the characters/team I think this ending can be somewhat emotional if you're attached to your crew. The banter between the crew was great! I really can't wait to play it again with other party members to see how some of the dialogue changes.
I can't see anyone who loves mass effect (hell even just likes the series) picking up this DLC and not liking it.
And as a bonus, my LCS finally got in my PAK Commander Shepard. Kind of a strange coincidence but a welcomed one

Thanks for the reviews on the DLC. That is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear. 
I loved my ME crew....LOVED THEM! And I'm excited to see my old friends from all the ME games on here. I will miss them and I'm still sad that Shepard and his/her crews' story is at an end. It was one hell of a great ride and my very favorite game franchise.
It was the relationships among the crew that made this game so special to me. No other game made me tear up like this one when friends were lost or their lives in peril. When I lost Mordin - I was so damn upset. And then shortly after that I thought I might lose Grunt (but I didn't ) and I was going nuts. Granted it was 4 am and I was incredibly tired...but man did these moments really hit me hard....that right there makes this one of the best games for me.

Yeah the replay value is really high with this one. I took my love interest with me and Wrex throughout most of the dlc, so I want to go back and switch out party members to hear all the funny lines.
Practically every line is comedic in one way or another. Packed with jokes, this dlc is.

Drop whatever else you're playing and jump into Citadel, Jen! Every squad mate in the series gets some attention in the dlc, even those who we lost during the events of the story.
Finished my custom Shepard.
Really great work! Inspired choice of armor for Shep.

That piece is inspired! Very nice!

If you haven't played it yet, you definitely have to!
I'm not going to lie, I too got very upset/emotional when stuff was going down with my crew. Hell, I even got sad when Navigator Presley died in ME2 especially when you go to the SR1 crash site and read his data pad.
I was pretty sad at the end of this DLC, more so than I was at the end of the actual game both regular and extended endings.
Finished my custom Shepard.

Frickin badass Remy! totally would've never thought to use IM armor for this.
Also, is that Mr. Holmes I see behind him?
:Yep! I, too, took my LE and Wrex with me. I was cracking up while playing this thing b/c it was great to see/hear your crew actually say things that makes it feel like they really know each other. the dialogue was very organic. Sometimes while on the ship it seemed like everyone just kept to themselves to some degree (except in ME3 where you'd catch them occasionally mingling). I'm about to begin with my femshep

Really appreciate the compliments. Lots of TLC and elbow grease went into making the custom figure. Love this game sooo much!!!
And Gipetto, yup...That's Elvis1976's Sherlock Holmes that I feel like I won the lottery when I was able to snag it when he sold it.
He repainted the face and added real hair.
I did some tweaking to it also, I retailored the pants cause it was loose, re-dyed the jacket to look darker, and changed the shoes.
Seb included a nice gun to go along with it, but at the moment, I have him holding a small 1/6 book I found.
On another note, I fixed my ps3 last night by changing the bluray drive!!! Woo Hoo!
Finished Omega and up next...Citadel.

Finished main story of Citadel in a few hours, how much is left after that? If that was it I isn't really feel that was worth the $14
Finished main story of citadel last night.
On the contrary, I think it was well worth it.
It was also a nice refreshing break from some of the somber elements of the game.
With being able to save everyone in me2, and have several of those characters die on you in me3, the game is definitely darker, more emotional game.
Very rare do you actually feel sad when a game character die on you.
This dlc gives it a much needed break from the emotional story, and it was nice to see all the characters fighting along side, and hear the funny sarcastic banter they throw at each other while fighting.
I found myself literally laughing out loud with some of the comments.
It was good to see the team, even with the seriousness of what is looming, have fun and see the comradery.

I'm gonna go back tonight and do the whole party planning stuff, maybe that'll flesh it out more for me, as it stands now I liked it but I think $9.99 would've been a more appropriate price tag. Don't misread what I'm saying though, I am literally obsessed and love all things ME. Man if they would just put out a quality 1/6 line I could die a happy man!......not that I plan on or want to die anytime soon, just saying' is all.

Dam ! I need to get all the DLC for mass effect 3.
There's a good amount left even after the party planning, and there's a bunch of dialogue at the party. I will say this that isn't a spoiler, this DLC made me like Javik who I didn't really like in the first place.
also, grunt was my FAVORITE part after the main story. He had me literally laughing out loud at the party and when you meet with him on the strip

Okay I'm officially doe now and I can say after all the "goodbyes" it's easily worth the $14! My only gripe is that they had. Yet another chance to make good on the Tali face reveal and they didn't (she's my romance). Other than that it felt great to say goodbye.....wish in a weird geeky way I could print out that group pic and carry it in my wallet! Also It made me laugh yet tear up over Mordins messages, as goofy as he was he was easily one of my all time favorite crew members.
