Well, time for bed,

Play nice guys :)


Oh, we shall. When you awake we'll still be arguing over semantics. What else is BSN for, anyway?


I bet we could get a "definition of RPG" angle going in here if we tried.


RPGs don't have multiplayer! They're about a lone person against the world! RPGs have to let the player customize every single thing about their character, even the texture of their shoelaces. Can you imagine how long it would take for multiple people to do that? Half of them would want everybody's outfit to be unique, and the other half would want matching outfits!

So Jesse Houston, one of the main producers of Mass Effect 3 coming out and saying that "The MP rumours are just that, rumours." isn't enough for you?

That said, I will consider this official when Jesse Houston confirms on his twitter page that this is infact him and not someone else.

Rumors are just rumors isn't the same as saying no.



Remember when Kinect support was just a rumor?

Sure, but something as benign as optional Dialogue Selection isn't so terrifying, but I digress.

I'm sorry, I just love saying this...

"Today it's all 'visceral combat,' and 'big choices.' I remember when it took five miles to get anywhere, and you had to remember to drink water!"

Yet everyone cried "oh noes! memory!". It's the BSN, they'll complain about everything.

The Devs cast off the lesser shooter elements; the inventory, the Mako, and the omnigel! The multiplayer will be our downfall! The Word is clear!

The Word is clear on this friends. Bioware is the hands of EA, here to commit Mass Effect to ruin!

The multiplayer will not come with a bang, but with a sigh.

Repent! The end is nigh!

This crap again?

If he says that the rumors are rumors, then they're rumors. Duh.

Wait what?

The next thing you expect us to believe is that when they that something doesn't fit, then we shouldn't see it in-game.

It is obviously much more complex than that.

I can accept it. He called a rumor a rumor. Yes, the rumors about ME3 having multiplayer are rumors! It doesn't take a genius, or even a particularly perceptive individual to realize this!

What I am NOT doing, and what you ARE doing, is taking his vacuous statement as positive confirmation that ME3 won't have multiplayer. 


Seriously? I think that to anyone who's reasonably sane, Jesse was implying that the rumors are rumors without substance, but hey, whatever floats your boat. You want to take it as non-confirmation? Good for you - have fun being suspicious about everything!

We all have our own interpretations. My belief is based on what's been said thus far by Casey early on, not just by Jesse. I have to format books by the occasional actual conspiracy theorist/nutjob, so I've seen a whole lot of crazy on display (like that author who believes in stargates and writes about them in his supposedly fictionalized non-fiction work *rolleyes*). You'll forgive me if I prefer to accept what seems like the reasonable explanation instead of adding more crazy into my life.

The next time a dev tells me the sky is blue I'm going to call him a liar.

Yeah. About as complex as me going to the bathroom.

You have had a dev tell you the sky is blue before?


Also they didn't say the sky was or wasn't blue,they said the sky was simply that,the sky.

Stop projecting your craziness onto others. I've been rational all throughout this thread. ;)

Seriously, you need to stop reading all kinds of extra implications into what people say.

I'm aware of the possibility, and of the tendency for people with something to sell to tell potential customers what they want to hear, and to never slag their own product.

I'd have to agree that they didn't explicitly say there won't be multiplayer. Which does not mean "we should assume it's in," but rather "we can't assume it's not." Not from this quote, anyway. It's the perfect example of empty dev speak designed to give them enough wiggle room to go either way and have it not contradict what they said.

Subtlety is lost on some poeple. I think to people like Phaedon, Atrieya, Mesina, etc. the bolded statements above are both saying the same thing.

I'd rather not insult some of my own friends here by suggesting subtlety is lost on them. That's just my take on the quote. :whistle:

You know what they say about assumptions. All of the posters you named are intelligent people that are fully capable of making the distinction. In fact, not one of them is suggesting that MP is in the game (which would imply none of them are saying "we should assume it's in"). Either your purposely misreading their posts because you can't see eye-to-eye with them or you're not nearly as smart as I thought you were.

What I'm saying is that in this thread and others they've consistently displayed an inability to detect someone making the distinction--if you want a specific example, look at my discourse with Atrieya, and all of my posts in this thread. I've never once said ME3 has multiplayer, but he (she?) several times went off on a tangent about my being a tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. I even stated unambiguously that I don't think there will be an MP announcement tomorrow!

To Atrieya in this thread and others in other threads, saying "Bioware have never ruled out MP in ME3" is the same as saying "ME3 has multiplayer!"
