Please let the thread die peacefully.

Bioware is only good at one thing, delivering quality interactive movies.

Their combat systems have always been pretty crappy. 

[Sashimi_taco]

Well maybe what would work is if we play as an alternate character in MP. You make up a whole new character and background as just a plane old recruit or soldier and we can customize her/him too.



That way we can have multiplayer without ruining the story and roleplaying for everyone!

[Pwner1323]

Damn it! people take a hint!

[DJBare]

Anyone else getting that deja vu feeling?



I'll just get me coat.

[Ibanez2009]

Hmm.... Perhaps the OP should go and play Call of Duty or Counter Strike... then he will feel like he is at home...



*sigh*

[Vena_86]

This is so subjective... On top of that you try to tell others what they think...

And yes many people actually have been let down by BioWare, although probably not in epic scale like it happened with the Gothic franchise or Silent Hill.



It has been said so often...ME is a single player franchise with a focus on story and characters. Attemting MP for the first time would just be a waste of resources that could go into an epic conclusion of the story arc - an experiment that should not be done in the final chapter of a trilogy. After that, sure go ahead, but now is not the time.

Its been brought up in other threads about how it impacts the SP game.
Assassins Creed: 30+ hours SP
AC II : 30+ hours SP
AC Brotherhood: 10ish hours SP, but it has MP. Woot <_<

While shooting things up with Grunt might be fun, but going afk for 5 mins to make some food while the host is having a conversation with somebody isn't. The gameplay is so focused on the main character and deliberately made as cinematic as possible that I would be bored out of my skull and just leave to play my own campaign.

It wouldn't be co-op, but Follow the Leader.

Everything you're describing is why I want co-op. I love watching my friends play the game, combat, dialogue, or otherwise. The only "boring" part about it is I can't help them shoot people.

I wasn't going to put this out publicly, but you leave me no choice. 

Multiplayer in ME3

All joking aside, if there is even a chance the SP game could be messed, then no.  Keep it out.  A MP DLC or true expansion, fine w/ me.  Better yet, a whole second game.  I just don't want it incorporated into ME3 in any way.  I tried MP a few times and hated it.  I'd rather play D&D w/ a bunch of rules lawyers than ever touch a MP game again.  Because what I posted up top was not far from the truth as my last MP experience. 

I'm glad games like CoD exist for people who like them.  I'm also glad that SP games like ME and DA exist for people who like them. I'm glad everything doesn't have to be the same.

at its best, MP can only be coop. And that is problematic too.

Any sort of PvP would imply solving the problem of adrenaline/slowmotion effects. Basically you would need to redo soldier all together. Vanguard and Infiltrator would also suffer.

Or a separate game altogether. Then everyone wins.

So I ask pwner, what's wrong with that?

Nothing, but like all of you I have fears too. Mine is that there will not be a ME4.

They've already stated that ME3 will not be the last game in the franchise.

[Element_Zero]

Ya know there is another aspect that Jamie did hit on.



There is a lot of harassment going on in MP - MMORPG games these days.



Over that lovely VoIP (which also has to be developed / implemented or at the vary least some kind of text message program.) VoIP or what ever peer to peer text interface that is used also pulls from the development time - budget. Rather they buy third party and shoehorn it in or write it themselves. Same thing goes with the anti-hacking software. This is something that will have to be part of the MP side of the game, unless you don't want to communicate with one another. And again a server ($$$) is going to be necessary if they want a muli-platform to beable to talk to one another.



There just isn't a bottomless pit of development resources for these games. It's also why there are major cutbacks in story development.



I wasn't going to bring it up, until someone else did but it is another reason why folks hate MP style games.

[NYG1991]

I think it's the law that all games released from now on are required to have a multi-player horde/zombies mode to be sold in stores.



I guess a horde mode wouldn't be too bad. four N7 alliance marines blasting away at endless wave of reapers/collectors/geth/muppets or whatever the mainn ground forces will be.

AC1: Full game
AC2: Full sequel to the full game.
ACB: Spinoff to expand the story of full sequel of the full game, also adds MP as an experiment that for the looks of it succeeded, and general opinion agrees that regardless of the length AC:B still had a great SP.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is NOT a full game in the style of AC1 and AC2, it's a SPINOFF, the 30 hour campaign will be on AC3 which is the actual sequel, hopefuly with the MP since Ubisoft showed that they can do both things right at the same time.

Also, why has nobody mentioned the possibility of another EA-owned studio, like DICE, developing the MP separately from Bioware's SP experience? It worked for Return to Castle Wolfenstein (id Software), the SP (Gray Matter) was awesome and the MP (Nerve software) was one of the best MP components of the time.

Well DustArma respectfully it has been posted.

Edit: Had to edit this, didn't intend the post to go directed at you DustArma I was trying to reinforce the standing as to why many don't want MP in ME3.

To those who don't understand:

All of the MP options posted are figured into the cost per unit makeup of each game. Putting another team on it has to come from that operational budget. Anything they tack on or buy or is part of Multiplayer and ME 3 pulls from that operational budget.

And many of us continue to shout that we want the full development expense going for the, AI mechanics, story, NPC interaction, fewest bugs / glitches, etc for this last chapter of the Shepard story. Even if it means we get another hour playtime for the story, it's really what most of us want. Most of us want to spend our time in the story and not loose time for muliplayer, in which some will not partcipate in.

And a few of us have suggested that maybe a better way to go is to sell multiplayer as a stand alone product, this way those that want MP can get all the goodies they want and it doesn't pull from the operational expense that makes up ME 3. It can have zero story to it, you can be who ever you want to be in it. etc.

Can someone please the thread please?

"Hello, thread. Look at your game, now back to me. Now back at your game, now back at me. Sadly, it isn't me. But if it  stopped using forums to promote multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 and switched to enjoying the game for what it is, he could smell like he's me.

"Look down (backup), where are we? You're on a forum with the man your man could game like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it; it's an escape hatch with two DLC codes for that game that you love. Look again, the codes are now credits. Anything is possible when your man games like a human being and not a squeaker.

[Undertone]

No.



Just no. I barely survived after hearing about SWTOR and no KotoR3.



If ME becomes multiplayer, I am done with video gaming.

I want a multiplayer that lets us use our own Shepards to fight other peoples Shepards.

Pretty much. If he wants MP, I simply can not fathom just why the hell he won't go play a game developed for MP and instead feels the need to slam MP down the throats of those who don't want it for a game that doesn't need it.

He isn't an X-bro, this thread turned into a surprising coming out that "zmg Mass Effect 3 will be the end of Shepard's story".
