I guess you' ve never seen or played demon's souls. Shall i feel pitty for you?
I mean what you' ve just stated isn't the full Mp-action that take place.
Actually there are pvp-battles and that is why your comment doesn't seem quite accurate.
Finally it's only wikipedia, give this game a try and you will see that your description isn't exactly right (only partially right because the message system really existed.).

I  stopped playing wow too , been 8 months now!! I am in love with Thedas, if they come with good DLC and expantions they'll have my money. if they go Multiplayer, then I will stop buying the new games, and keep playing the single players ones.

Same for me. I love Dragon age world (especially DA2)  for the story, the characters and the romance ..I really don't want an MMO or CO-OP game in the DA universe.I will spend my money for DLC, expensions and /or a full game like DA3-4-5 but only if it's a single-player games.

So i hope this rumor is a rumor and nothing else and will not become reality.

Fair enough!  I'll dig up some reviews, but I =love= the idea that was presented.  I had not thought about hybrid co-op/single player like that before.  Kick ass idea.

Do some independent research if you don't believe me. The data present on VGCharts supports the official numbers of DAO and shows that DA2 is not selling at the same pace as DAO in the retailers that VGCharts tracks. I have yet to see official sales figures for a game that does not closely match the estimates found on VGCharts. In lieu of exact official numbers, estimates are the next best thing and are certainly better at forecasting sales than someone with no numbers at all.

False statement bolded. 

Made up numbers are not better at forecasting sales than no numbers at all.  Made up numbers are still made up.  Made up numbers are used to push an agenda.  :wizard:  


/conversation: the epilogue

Made up numbers are how you forecast sales.
Doing an accurate estimation is a science.

Yes, feel pity for me please.

The game looks amazing and I've been hoping we will some day see a PC port for Demon's Souls or Dark Souls, but I'm not going to hold my breath. (Unfortunately, I don't own any consoles.)

Which tears?

The ones soaking out of your post.  :D:D

DAO sold 2 million units on the Xbox360 ALONE. And Bioware is celebrating about DA2 selling 1 million units (all three platforms combined).
You can ignore that fact and go "Lalala I don't hear you", it's not like I'm going to care about that.

Fact:  Your DAO numbers are over a much longer time frame than DA2.
Fact:  You have no official numbers, just the VGACats website.
Fact:  You drink too much coffee, your tears are getting bitter.

:lol:

Oh yes, I'm crying, crying bitter tears of sorrow.
Gotta love fanboys. A company can take a dump in a shiny box, and they'll still defend it to death.

Would walk from the series if they decided to go down this path for DA3. If BioWare-EA want a multiplayer game then go for it, make a brand new game series and show they mean to utilise the game with such features from the off rather than potentially damage existing game series, otherwise they’ll end up crapping on the franchise like Capcom did with Resident Evil 5.

[Loup Blanc]

I am glad that DA3 is in development. I have become attached to the lore and story too much to enjoy seeing the franchise crash and burn... I am however really sad to see there is going to be a multiplayer. I just hope it won't impact the quality of the single-player. Allow me to have serious doubts and looking at what DA2 turned out to be, I have all the rights and reasons to be worried.

As much as it pains me to say, if they rush and screw up DA3, I will be done with Dragon Age. And possibly Bioware games made by Laidlaw and co (understand the team).

As much as I liked RE 4 and thought that 5 was a pretty good game, they didn't feel like a RE game. I pray capcom goes back to the old formula/zombies. And I agree with the rest of your comment too.

DA becomes multiplayer, I go bye bye. I play DA (or did prior to DA2 which I did not like) for the epic story, single player cRPG, choices effect the story like those old 'choose your adventure' type books which DAO reminded me of and not 'Dragon Age 2: Jutsu Chronicles' and not multiplayer.

However I do not think they will be so silly as to try to tag in a multiplayer element tbh because I have some faith in their common sense... But saying that if Mike is lead on it god knows what will end up with... I shudder at the thought. TOR should be the only multiplayer game they are working on imho.

I agree with you dragoonlordz. If mikes left unchecked in the da candy store it will be a desaster.

[GodBID]

MP in the DA Universe?, that can only have 2 outcomes either it floops crashes and burns harder then playboy in indonisia, or it will simply be "Meh" at best, also the development time would probably also take a hit in the face because of it.

I just don't feel it :/

Multiplayer means weak. perfunctory single player campaign. The development effort to make it is taken from the single player campaign, weakening lt. Mages versus Templars in "capture the flag"? No thanks!

Once again I reference Rockstar's achievements here,RDR and GTAiv both have excellent single player campaigns and multiplayer to beat the band,especially RDR.Granted they are not rpgs but a hell of a lot of thought and effort was put into them.Lets not forget ''The Orange Box'' enough said on that one.As for the notion that someone made above in regards to aiming at 14 year olds please give over with the ''you play online/console your a kid''.Most likely this multiplayer will be some form of co-op and it will sit in the background of development,it won't turn MMORPG as much as Ea would like to turn the table on Activision/Blizzard ,Battlefield 3 looks like it will put COD down a few notches with the help of Skyrim.Anyway rantng over !:innocent: as long as single player is focused first and any kind of multilplayer a distant 2nd it will ok.Really guys co-op is actually something fun,try it sometime:)

bolting mp and coop in to everything because it looks popular is just bad kneejerk design.

Well said!

The only option for MP I would consider is the NWN1 way. I liked persistant worlds, and co-op on campaign. No sh!tty MMO type crap.

I've played every kind of multiplayer game type there is for many years on all formats and genres and tbh if co-op is what someone wants there are other titles that can satisfy them. There is no need to add it to the DA universe at all since people like me and everyone else buys their titles for the single player story mode, so even as an added feature it won't get them any more money unless they start releasing map packs or subscription to it. Giving them no more money I would rather they drop the idea if ever pops up and spend their time on making the single player much better which is in reality why people buy their games. It's simply time better spent than faffing around in multiplayer modes especially when they have TOR coming out.

I second that sentiment, both really.  If I wanted to play an MMORPG fantasy I would go back to playing WoW.

That stupid Multi-player rumor had better not become truth. > Because if it does, I'll also go bye-bye.

[Macrake]

Multiplayer would just further my disinterest in future bioware games after da2. With dungeon siege 3 and diablo 3 coming up it would be a complete waste to focus resources on MP. Give us another b2/kotor/da:o instead please.

[NinjaCoopa]

If they did something similar to the multiplayer that they did in Neverwinter Nights, I'd totally be down. Me and my girlfriend had some great times playing that way. They managed to come out with a fantastic single player game with multiplayer option and they did it with less people working at bioware! And DA:O is very similar to that game so i can already see what it would be like if they did incorporate it.

[Guitarjoe91]

I enjoy playing multiplayer with a few buddies on Baldur's gate and Icewind Dale. If it is done correctly, it could work for DA also.

[Melca36]

If I want to play a multiplayer I would resubscribe to WOW.

Multiplayer has its place but NOT for games like this.

[Remmirath]

It would really depend on the multiplayer, for me.

Massively multiplayer? No way. I might give it a try so long as it didn't have a subscription fee - but past evidence suggests I'd probably stop in disgust partway through. If it had a fee, I'd ignore it completely.

Multiplayer as in how Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, or maybe Neverwinter Nights did it? I would actually like that. That's the sort of multiplayer that can make it more fun, assuming you have some reasonable people to play with (which I realise not everybody does) - because even if all the NPCs will eventually run out of things to say, your multiplayer party members won't. (Hopefully. They shouldn't.) 

Of course, it would be harder to do now, I expect. Certainly there would be difficulties in having all the NPCs recognise which character was which, and it would get a bit odd if they didn't (especially with the whole romances thing. Awkward). I obviously wouldn't want multiplayer as a trade-off for something else - but an already good game, with added multiplayer... yeah, I'd like that. Perhaps it's not the most realistic thing ever, but if it happened I would be in favour of it.

There really is a huge difference between normal multiplayer and massively multiplayer. If nothing else, the first one is entirely optional.

[ejoslin]

If anything, DAO should be held to the example that you don't need streamlining, you don't need MP, you don't need ninja warriors, you don't need everything simple, you don't need a space age UI to make a successful -- both commercially and critically -- RPG.  RPGs are NOT  going to appeal to everyone, but seriously, the better the RPG, the more people who normally don't play RPGs will be drawn to the game.  

Multiplayer would take away resources that could be used for other things. I'd rather play an amazing single player RPG than a decent multiplayer game.

Edit: I actually do like DA2.  But I'd love it if DA3 used the strengths of both DAO and DA2.  I'm concerned that they're going to be moving even further away from DAO in the next game.  But DAO was an amazing game.  DA2 was good.  Give me a bit deeper character interaction and a bit more interesting combat than was in DA2, I'd be a very happy person.
