There goes our thread. Get in here DuckSoup!

I wonder why they couldn't just have waited with it and do MP outside the trilogy.

You know, so I could skip it entirely.

Concerning the last comment I made in the other thread, I didn't mean Infamous 2, I meant Far Cry 2.

I'm not saying that there's no multiplayer. I've accepted that there is. I'm saying that [/b][b][/i][i]co-op is implausible. Co-op would end up either messing with the original controls or annoy the other people.

You DO realize that:

1) Coop is the most obvious multiplayer choice for a story-based game. Also, BioWare has done it several times in the past, such as the aforementioned Baldur's Gate and also Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2. And I know for a fact that in NWN2, you can play through essentially the ENTIRE campaign with a companion.
2) The freaking magazine says "Fight alongside your friends as the galaxy goes to war!" Reading comprehension, much? Deathmatch wouldn't be "fighting alongside." Team deathmatch POSSIBLY, horde mode POSSIBLY, but that would make the sentence poorly worded. Also, it's a PC magazine, and I have run across very few PC gamers that care about things like horde mode.

Haha, this topic was 4 pages before I went to sleep. Anyway, I'm not too concerned about multiplayer being in ME3. I trust BW knows what they're doing, and who knows, MP might be *GASP* fun.

You should have a play of DA2 then becuase I'm not sure they know what they are doing anymore

Totally different team... THANK GOD.

So this is how Mass Effect dies...with unwanted multiplayer.

Kind of appropriate that the side I oppose would use references to the *prequels.*


I think a lot of people fail to realize how important projected sales are for EA. You guys are talking about cancelling your preorders (which you'll desperately - and futily - try to re-preorder the CE for later; trust me, I see it all the time). D'uh. You had your preorders in the first place BECAUSE of how important projected sales are. GameStop pushes it, EA pushes it, even BioWare proper pushes it (see the DA2 launch bull). Multuplayer will increase preorders for the game, whether a thousand too-serious "fans" have a heart attack or not. Multiplayer will increase the number of sales after the initial release drastically, reducing the fall-off seen in many single-player titles (including games like - yes - the original ME and ME2). Most important, multiplayer will increase demand for a digital multiplayer pass, reducing losses from used game sales.

In other words, multiplayer is projected to vastly increase the profits of ME3 in at least three different ways. EA increases BioWare's budget accordingly, and BioWare hires the staff they need to make it happen. Fortunately, the hard stuff related to multiplayer pretty much happens at the engine level. So no, it won't slow any other work on the game. They might need to record a few extra lines of dialogue. For instance, if you play as Garrus and are now allow to select comments on the conversations the first player is engaging in. This to is paid for with the additional budget.

End result is there are more people working on the game than without multiplayer, ME3 is a bigger/better game, and EA/BioWare make more money.

Hehe! Screw you man, I'm done arguing. There's no more fun in it for me.

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here and call BS on this. Until there's a statement by BioWare, or actual concrete details with screenshots, something on the more official manner, lets keep MP discussion in one thread:
 

That’s right - Mass Effect 3 is getting multiplayer! We travel to BioWare’s office in Edmonton for hands-on time with the series’ first foray into online gameplay, and chat with Mass Effect Series Producer and Mass Effect 3 Project Director Casey Hudson about the decision to go multiplayer in the epic battle for the galaxy.

Come on, this kind of takes it a few steps beyond "I call BS", doesn't it?

You can still skip it.

[Pink_Pyro]

You know you could just ignore the MP button, Mass. Get a piece of paper and stick it over the menu so that only New Game and Quit are visible. Problem solved. Just don't forget to remove it after the loading screen.

[didymos1120]

This forum really needs a thread merge feature. Either that or the mods need to start using the one the already exists.

This.

Seriously, none asked for MP. Why? WHY?

MP is fun for some. Games are played for fun, not for boasting rights about how big your brain is.

Dead Space 2 and Bioshock 2's single players sucked.

So did Far Cry 2's. (although I wouldn't blame that on the addition of multiplayer)

That's not true at all.  I've seen plenty of people on here who've asked for MP.  The anti-MP people just tend to be louder and more prolific.

[Blooddrunk1004]

Far Cry 2 campaign sucked.
Dead Space 2 felt like a shooter and not horror anymore.
Bioshock 2 campaign sucked aswell.
AC: Brotherhood has alot more shorter campaign when you compare it to the second one.
Don't know for Driver: SN never played it, but i agree for RDR, Portal 2, BG and Uncharted though.

Seriously though I think mp campaign could be fun. Whoever hosts plays as Shep and your buddies as squaddies.

If it were to have MP, and I've yet to see anything convincing to suggest it will, I'd probably be quite keen on it.

I may be forcing BioWare to sleep downstairs on the couch right now for DA2, but the reality is I'll probably still buy ME3 just to give it a go - and TBH multiplayer might just be the thing that peps up ME for me, since I've yet to truly "get it".

Also, I can't be alone in having enjoyed multiplayer RPG without it having to be some MMO thing.

Just take this as the confirmation that the singleplayer in ME3 is the best experience it could possibly ever be.

And here's the problem with these kinds of demands:

Poster A: "Show me X number of Y."

Poster B: "OK, here you go..."

Poster A: "I don't personally like these n examples, so they're disqualified. The fact that others do is irrelevant.  I WIN!"

Okay, I'll give you that one with Bioshock and Far Cry 2, but Dead Space 2 was still pretty good.

Add Metroid Prime 2 to the list of crappy multiplayer.

And [apparently] more numerous.

On all the other gaming websites I've visited anti-mp always outweighed pro (in both threads + polls)
