Never underestimate how dramatic 'gamers' can be. Some clown on the BF3 cancelled his pre-order all because the beta didn't let him rebind his keys. Nevermind the fact that keys can be re-assigned in the full game.


Ah that reminds me, last day today.. im going back to playing BF3 on Origin.. pray for me :D

What? Maybe they'd already completed the SP element.


Well, if that were the case and I were going to be a nitpicking jerk, I might be somewhat annoyed about getting to wait another six months for the addition of something I really don't care for.

But yes. I'm not going to get annoyed at a 'zomg rediverted resources' thing, because for all I know they allocated additional on top of what they would've otherwise had for singleplayer anyway.

Smart lad/lass. I'm thinking that might have been behind the shift to 2012. Singleplayer should still benefit from the extra time though, if only in terms of bugs and other small bits.

Oh my god, this could be the best thing ever.

It's like they want me to stop playing Halo: Reach and Gears of War 3 forever, and just not touch anything else in relation to online shooters ever again in the history of anything, for all time. My body...

My body is ready.

well u didn´t get it....... the time and the resource spent on MP should have been used on the SP to add content or to polish the SP features...... if they want to use the ME uni to make an MP they should start a new game , and let the spard story finish as it started a SP history ...... if i want a MP i play BF2 or any BF series becouse that is a MP game , i hope that u understand my point of now :lol:

You misquoted me here, so I have no idea who you're trying to talk to...  Image IPB

I agree that if they want to do MP, wait until ME3 is over.  However, I don't think ME3 + MP modes = FAIL.  If it was an entire, fleshed-out MP campaign then I'd be worried but we have no reason to believe that's the case until (as I said somewhere before) Bioware Word-of-God confirms anything. 

*EDIT* Ahh, the quotes...what are they doing?!  Image IPB

Amazingly, I have Origin installed, and funnily enough, my PC hasn't blown up, or slowed down, nor have the FBI raided my place. Like Steam, it just sits in the tray, doing nothing most of the time. It starts up quicker than Steam too. Still waiting for the paranoid to say how Origin will turn your PC into a zombie.


It will be fine. Most of the people whining about Origin will still get the game because people lack discipline and impulse control, these personal traits being unfavorable in a capitalistic consumer society. So they will get the game, install Origin, play it and come to realize it's not actually the end of the world. Even so, they probably won't stop whining about having been forced to do so.


Not really when there are other options available. The undefined nature of what it looks for on the computer system combined with the privacy terms is what irks most people, not the fact that it collects data. Although if one thinks it turns the PC into a zombie then they're as big a dumb arse as those who dismiss any concerns regarding such
terms.


sure guy

ps: they could still require the Origin client to be installed, even on non-Origin hard copies purchased from Amazon etc.


That's not a good thing and I wouldn't be suprised if they did, nor does it really restrict whether people play it or not as they usually get hold of the game some other way. I don't paticularly like Steam's way of doing things much either, but at least it restricts the interaction to hardware and software which interacts with Steam software. Origin doesn't have that restriction, I don't care if they want to know my internet habits, what hardware I have installed etc. But, I don't like the implication that the client can poke around in files and applications which have nothing to do with it.

As long as it's optional and doesn't mess with the single player I'm all for it.

Also because I can't help it:
'Ah yes "Multiplayer". The ability to play co-operatively or online with others, allegedly included in Mass Effect 3. We have dismissed that claim.'

That's not bad actually, but I've just been so memed out be some lesser ones that I'm struggling to mange a smile.

Sorry, can't resist:

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that Mass Effect used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make that council dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.

But October 10th made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the BSN;
Mass Effect on my PSN.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read that multiplayer was no lie,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the single player died.

:P

Still waiting for that gammecon-whatever-the-hell-their-name-is-person to come on and start ranting about how BW sold out and ME will sell less than the first two.

I gots you, boo!  I just think assuming the SP will suck shows a distinctive lack of faith in Bioware that I find disturbing. /VaderVoice  Also, I reeeally wanted to use this link

If the SP indeed sucks I will get right on your bandwagon and hurl my vitriol at that accursed MP (the easiest target, certainly), but...the SP doesn't suck yet unless your psychic powers are informing you of such.  Are they?  Image IPB[/quote]

wait what...... i have all BW games execpt nds and phone one, im just saying that they could add the time and resourse into content for the game, and take the mp for other game based on ME

I don't get it.

You could have a purely SP game that you only revisit half a dozen times because, let's face it, the same missions over and over again will become boring. When that's done; WHAM! Your favourite game series is over, except for a few DLC's or mods. No more Mass Effect. Ever. Or, you could have a game which has the original SP campaign AND a MP mode which you can play with friends, extending it's shelf life by a year or two.

Other games franchises have show than this is a successful and financially sensible option. It does work.

Uninstalled ME 1 and 2. Once you made all the choices for the save file import, there's no point playing it again when you can watch the other endings on the Tube. Interestingly, I still have TF2, BF2, BC2 and BF3 installed.

6 hours and 32 pages! Wow!

Personally, as long as I won't need Origin to play ME3 and any multi-player/co-op doesn't detract from the SP Campaign, I am really more interested in seeing how the Trilogy wraps up.

It says fight alongside, which hints at co-op but personally i don't believe you'll be able to play co-op through the main campaign because that would require drastic changes to the game, so my guess is extra co-op missions (and perhaps sort of a horde mode), which nobody will play in a few weeks, ergo, a waste of resources.

I think the main thing here is MP is usually at the expense of SP. Can´t really say, except CoD Sp campaigns seem to be rather short.

And while I don´t care about MP, I see no reason to be thrilled either. To me it´s using Shepard´s and squad powers what makes ME combat fun. But most of those powers would be game breaking in PvP, so I don´t know if MP will feel at all as playing the main game.

Pretty sure ME 1 was met with hate when it was originally announced. A console-exclusive third person shooter without the traditional dialog boxes was bound to flop right?

I'm not going to read 30+ pages about this but has anyone actually considered that the MP component will developed by a separate Bioware studio? Meaning that there is no sacrifice to the singleplayer like I hear so many users worry about.

Look at Ubisoft, for example. Unless I'm mistaken, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood was primarily developed by Ubisoft Montreal but the multiplayer was developed by Ubisoft Shanghai.

I totally welcome a MP feature. Although, I do believe that if it's not some form of co-op it just will not last and will not be played.


I think its made by a seperate studio as well.But people will be blinded by their misguided rage.


What difference does that make???

Resources don't get magiced into existence just because they outsourse MP development! 

Any resource used to create MP could have been used to polish/expand the single player...

Huh.  I figured if they were gonna do it, it was gonna be in post-release DLC form as it seemed to be cutting it a little close to make it by March. I still think it pretty likely it'll be in the form of a day-one DLC.  BTW, Bioware Montreal is hiring an online programmer again:

https://jobs.ea.com/...50000000y2CVAAY

And it looks like they filled that QA position that required MP experience that people found back in (I think) August.
