 ME3 multiplayer?


I hope you are pleased with yourself................ <_<

[Lumikki]

I don't get it even why someone would wanna destroy ME3 with multiplayer feature. I mean it's Shepards story, not team X story. So, I vote no to multiplayer.

They made ME2 so much smaller than ME1 so you cant blame MP for that or say that it'll take away from the SP. Their are separate budgets for that and they are owned by EA. Money and resources isnt an issue.

Say whut? Just look at this tread. . . social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/5792751

People there claim ME 1 is shorter than ME 2? How can you say one is smaller? Is it because of a lack of pixels? Read there words! I don't have to say anything. Those folks are claiming game times of 25 hours! And are able to rush ME 1 in 5 - 10??!?! Which I still say reguardless if YOU decide to not do the side quests or have modded the game in some way it's possible to do it in a short amount of time.

A couple quotes from that thread. . . And yes I'm going to leave these folks names out. . you will just have to search the thread as posted to find them.

Quote 1.
"ME 1 was far shorter then ME 2.

ME 1 takes me from 5-21 hours.

I haven't tried to go through ME 2 quickly yet but my longest was over 50 hours."

Quote 2.
"That was my experience as well. My first playthrough of ME1 was 10hrs, I
went straight to ME2, did all the loyalty quests and it took about
30hrs."


Separate budgets? I'm sorry man but NO, that isn't how it works out there. You do realize they are in the process of developing a massive MMORPG investment cash cow right now right? And there are mulitple projects on the floor just with in the BioWare studios alone? There isn't such a thing as separate budgets, unless the head of EA has lost his mind and is trying to justify something that is potentually rather bad for the players / buyers.

No I'm sorry but these costs are passed to the buyer. PERIOD. . .

And each title is budgeted. . It's how they weed out the lemon games. Upper management makes these decisions based on budget constraints. If they are not making the grade (aka making the development studio and those producers money they get cut rather fast.) Controls with budgeting on these games is done though manpower time allotment - deadlines how that is tracked varies from company to company. The workerbees don't always see it though all they usually know is their getting tasked something else to work on for a period of time.

I also get very suspecisious when I hear 'play time' and this game is less than that game in postings. . . It tells me that you are less interested in the story,  which don't get me wrong that is fine. (In the case of the ME 1 -vs- ME 2 thread above one game's story took root within some while the other didn't! They also spent the time to say why this or that didn't work for them.)

Still though your entitled to your opinion and if you want it to be apart of ME that is what you want.

For me though I value the story much greater than MP. . . And I know how much effort it takes to put MP into games properly. I also know that it's a gimic with most games right now and it's simplified in many cases and kills innovation within them. But again as I've said in a prior posting, at some point they will charge you some sort of fee for access for each game probabily on a montly basis, reguardless if it is a MMORPG or just a simple Shooter - MP.

The market forces some odd things upon these folks and game rental is going to become more and more popular with each increase in the costs of newly released games.

Oh and since I forgot to put it in clearly. . . I am against MP in Mass Effect 3 as well.

No.Bioware dosn't need to go wasting their time building a multiplayed element. All they have to do is build a great singleplayer element and it will be game of the year

Was a thread really necesary for this OP? There already exist at least one.

More like one every week.

But as long as this thread keeps getting made, it's necessary to keep saying this: No, introducing a multiplayer component to a singleplayer RPG whose combat system is clearly not real-time is not, in fact a good idea. I don't understand why this even needs to be explained.

That said, I'd have no problem with games of other genres set in the ME universe. Say, a co-op multiplayer game about Garrus' team in the time between ME1 or ME2, maybe with a heavy stealth element. That would work. Or a Killzone-style shooter set during the First Contact War.

[Talogrungi]

I'd also like to support the "no" opinion.

Sure, a multiplayer/cooperative game based in the ME universe would be great, but attempting to tack on multiplayer to the final act of a single player epic RPG is just a terrible, terrible idea and will only harm the game.

Im going to add my voice again because once is never enough on this subject. NO.

5 months of Mass Effect play time extended to 2 years.I hope EA implements multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 just as much as i hope we get a vs dlc.I would love to take a walk in a turian or krogans shoes in a versus multiplayer mode.For all the nay sayers do you realize that multiplayer did not effect the story of EA published game Dead Space 2?So why would it effect ME 3?Any ways I am pretty sure Mass Effect 3 will have multiplayer because EA is on a mission to knock Call of Duty off the throne:)

Do you realise that pretty much most of the reviews I have read or come across, not to mention the opinion of many gamers who recently purchased Dead Space 2 agreed that Multiplayer was a nice addition, but wholly unecessary because the single player of the game was good enough by itself? I'm not trying to be one of those 'naysayers' and don't want to bash away the MP sections of gaming but quite frankly Dead Space 2's singleplayer is all I needed, just like it's predecessor. They chucked in DS2MP and though it's fun, it feels like an absolutely simple and meagre version of... heh, dare I say, Left 4 Dead Space 2, minus the things that make it fun (such as typing to people, using mic and having better co-op) as the MP is orientated around that. 

But anyhow this isn't a thread about DS2. All I'm saying is that Dead Space 2 is a frigging unbelievably good game that I enjoyed playing and I do not think BioWare need to give Mass Effect 3 the slapstick addition of a multiplayer mode. Not saying they can't do it, but rather we're better of with a spinoff game that is based on the MP mode, one that is not titled Mass Effect 3.

Notice to tl;dr's, my post is based strictly on IMO in the 2nd paragraph. IMHO. Danke.

And for those of you who don't wanna read what I wrote, I'll sum it up as this:

MASS EFFECT 3 MULTIPLAYER?!

no

[GuitarShredUK]

No, let's not imagine ME3 with multiplayer. The game itself does not need it, even from a basic level of genre, RPG + TPS is fine, this combination is what the series is essentially known for in basic gameplay terms and that is why the first two games have been such big hits.

To put it another way and perhaps more bluntly, adding multiplayer to an RPG = MMORPG doesn't it, in essence so what the OP and apparently some other delusional people out there are all clamming for is an element of WoW in their crowning Mass Effect experience. Absolute bull, if I do say so myself.

[Forsythia]

If there is any multiplayer in ME3, I'd rather have it not resemble CoD at all. There is so much more people can do with multiplayer, why oh why does it always have to be the same old 'let's shoot the crap out of each other'? If anything, Mass Effect could work with co-op multiplayer. Not in ME3, of course, because that's Shepard's story and it would be quite boring for the other players to just sit there for a few minutes when Shep is having a conversation.



All in all, I really don't want multiplayer of any kind in ME3. If BioWare desperately needs to have multiplayer in the ME universe, please let it be a spinoff.

[james1976]

Multiplayer in ME3? We at this again?

Again my response to that is HELL NO!

[rma2110]

I'm sure Microsoft loves all this mention of multi-player. It's XBL GOLD baby! No way am I playing a dime for multi-player when I am a single player gamer to my core. I love a game with a great story and multi-player ruins that.

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer loby...

Me: Man, ME3's ending was so epic.

Random 12 year old: Wut lulz? U play'd the campaaaign...lolololololol

Random 12 year old: Lulz, bai f[insert explicit language]z!!1!!1

Me: *facepalm*


There's sereval big problems with the idea of multiplayer in mass effect 3.  For one, it's doomed to bring a boatload of idiots into Mass Effect that I don't want to deal with, and I have a bad feeling this board would swiftly turn into "halo forums 2.0", mixed with a good amount of WoW forums and whatever other unbearably bad communities you think of. 
Consider also the possibility or, in my opinion probability, that the game would be balanced around multiplayer if it was added. 
Finally, EA will want more resources devoted to mutliplayer, and less devoted to single player.

I agree.
Also, "random 12 year old" shouldn't be playing a game made for a mature audience anyway.  I swear that's annoying as hell.

[b00mQQ]

Why would it affect the game? It would take development time away from the story to be used on multiplayer. Have you ever noticed how games that have both multiplayer and single player has a ****ty story, but has amazing multiplayer, or vise versa?

Mass Effect has always been a single player experience, and it should be that way. If later down the road they want to make a multiplayer Mass Effect game, where they can dedicate all their time to the multiplayer for the ultimate experience, without gimping the campaign, then I'd be all for that.

However, I don't see this happening. BioWare has always been about focusing on the story, and hardly any of their game have multiplayer in them unless it's designed to be a multiplayer game (such as TOR).

Also, I forgot to mention while BioWare and EA have merged, it's still the BioWare studios who develop the BioWare released games. Like someone else stated, EA has BFBC for multiplayer.

It seems more than likely that BW will make a mulitplayer ME game but it will not happen until Shep's story is finished.

Thats one thing that Im dreading. Young teens ruining my Mass Effect on me when they shouldnt be allowed play games like this. I dont want to share ME with anybody, its my Shep and my story to play my way. Im the Hero in my ME, I dont want to be getting called a noob while playing ME.

This is why I'm always hoping for a game wich has some kind of (mental) age filter.

[Geth_Prime]

ME3 multiplayer? The more I think about it the less I like the idea of it. I mean it would be cool to grab a couple of friends and play co-op missions with them. Hell, it would be awesome! But Mass Effect is supposed to be YOUR story, and yours alone. And competitive multiplayer? Hell no! I don't want this to be Call of Duty, where you run around in identical maps listening to stupid kids swear at you. I'm only 14 myself but I'm more mature than to want Mass Effect to be another boring sci-fi shooter where the multiplayer takes centre stage and the single-player is a 2-hour pile of crap.

Maybe a spin-off could have co-op in it, but not competitive multiplayer. I want that to be as far away from Mass Effect as possible.

It always takes away. The only (and I mean only!) game who's single player didn't suffer from it was Red Dead Redemption (and even then imagine how much longer and even more awesome it could have been with no MP at all). That is one game, out of the thousands of games that have been made. Every game with MP has an average run time of what? 10 hours at the most?? Now look at the single player only games, RPG's especially, averaging at 20+ hours right? MP takes disk space which means less space for single player, it's simple math dumb-dumb. You only have 100% of the disk space so no MP means 100% single player; now if even 10% become MP then you only have 90% single player story...single player effected, duh

What about GTA IV, Uncharted 2, AC Brotherhood, Fable 2, & Dead space 2 all of these titles have just as much singleplayer content as there predacesser.

[ShadowOfInfinity]

Honestly, if they add multiplayer, I will start referring to Mass Effect 3 as Halo 3...They've already got the same plot set up!

[Someone With Mass]

I would rather not pay for something that was shoehorned in at the last second and something that I'd probably never use.



Not all singleplayer games needs multiplayer. Just look at Dead Space 2.

[ShadowOfInfinity]

Even CoOp would have its problems in mass effect, problems which couldn't be solved without dumbing down the single player, or dumbing down CoOp...

CoOp Game...

Me as Cmd. Shepard: So Liara, how's the whole shadow broker thing going...

Player 2 (Miranda): Oh gawd...wtf noob, letz go shuut stuffz.
