People are really canceling preorders over MP?
Wow, just wow.
Also, This is now a flame war thread. Where are the PC elitists?
I just love getting bashed for my console preference.
People on BSN need to grow the **** up.

This thread was already on fire when MP was announced. We just missed someone saying.

"Let the games BEGIN!!!"

 

and here we go... the  net rage is going to be  glorious to behold.

And how are thermal clips idiotic? Infinite supply of fire with frictionless materials was idiotic as it destroyed anything challenging about the concept of the shooter part of the RPG-shooter ME is anyway. This is what I mean, every single ME1 elitist refers to things they don't like as stupid, as if people who don't like them are stupid. ME is just as much shooter as RPG, and guess what, a shooter with infinite ammo isn't challenging.

1) Play old-school Mega Man, or ME1 on Hardcore+ for that matter, and tell me a shooter with infinite ammo isn't challenging.

2) Ammo is stupid in the Mass Effect universe because there was infinite ammo two years ago, not because infinite ammo is better than finite ammo or vice versa (that's a matter of taste). Every military in the galaxy would have to be a bunch of hopelessly incompetent idiots to not give every soldier at least one infinite ammo "ping" gun. (I'd vote for the SMG, but I'm a big fan of More Dakka.) Of course, since Shepard is literally the only combatant in the galaxy who has to worry about thermal clips, maybe the Illusive Man is just messing with him.

To everyone saying "Hurr you don't have to play multiplayer durr." You don't understand at all. All of those resources SHOULD have been put into what made Mass Effect the game it was: the Singleplayer story.

N7 Edition Preorder cancelled. Thanks for dumping on your fanbase Bioware.



Ya except they were happy with the single player 6 months ago when they announced a November release. Then delayed it 4 months, obviously to work on a multiplyer, I mean are people really that blind?


You are assuming we have any faith in what the company claim. They hid the multiplayer plan for 4 months so that people would pre-order the game and not cancel later. Say what you like but there is now a crisis of faith.

I'm not a fan of a multiplayer part in Mass Effect. Why? A classic multiplayer feature would feel forced and it would just be there for the sake of it. Mass Effect isn't like other games, it's all about the singleplayer experience. That's were the spirit of the the trilogy is.

However, perhaps this won't be the kind of multiplayer that we've believed. I hope that this is well thought out because it could be really nice if done right.

I just hope and wish that the singleplayer part is still the core of the trilogy and that it won't suffer for something that the fans, in the end, don't want.

One of the first thing I learned, don't worry about it. Still won't stop me from kicking some culo though.

I've invested way too much time in the ME series so far to cancel my pre-order and lets be honest to those who have, you'll still buy it....you know you will. Not happy with the co-op inclusion, it's like serving a side salad with the dessert at the end of a great 3 course meal, completely needless and unnecessary.

So does this mean that the game is going to have multiplayer achievements that will penalize me for having a work schedule that makes it hard to game synchronously with my friends?

Isn't it wonderful that they hid the multiplayer from you for 4 months so you wouldn't have the chance to re-consider?

I posted this elsewhere, but I'm disappointed that multiplayer has been bundled into ME3. Here's why:

Basic combat mechanics are only the simplest aspect of how this will play out. It' should not be too difficult to deal with the issues of party members having worse damage and weapon/skill selection. Though It's also importatnt to know how the players will work together and how those skill selections will function for individual people.  How many people can play? Two? Three?  Who picks who comes along for the mission? Is it the host player? Or is the other person/people? What if a squadmate is mandatory for a particular mission? What happens if players two/three do not like the skill selection that the host player has made for the particular squad mates that are coming along for the mission? Can the players jump in and out whenever they want?

How will ammo management work? What if one person can pick up all the ammo if they run over it?  What happens if someone goes down? Can they be brought back up like in Gears of War? What happens if Shepard goes down? Can the squadmates revive him/her?  These are just some of the issues that need to be dealt with if introducing co-op play to a game.

Making a game MP is not as simple as changing a few variables and you're done. Not even close. As someone who has done modding/coding for both single player and multiplayer games, let me tell you that the amount of work required to make something multiplayer friendly rather than just single player is substantial.

Even more importantly, Mass Effect has always been about the story. It's about the player making decisions, engaging in dialogue and making decisions as well as combat. The introduction of co-op MP will mean either:
a) Secondary players get bored while Shepard does all the talking and makes all the decisions.
B) Dialogue and choices are reduced to alleviate the above boredom problem.

Personally, I don't like either of these options. I sure as heck don't want to play second fiddle to someone else's Shepard, and I even more passionately don't want the amount of dialogue and choice from the first two games to
be reduced to cater for MP co-op play.

The process of turning a game into multiplayer is not a simple task, even if it's co-op. There  seems to be a commonly held belief that "MP means sales", but it's an unnecessary addition that is simply likely to dilute the Mass Effect experience.

I've just finished Gears of War 3 co-op with a friend - and we've been through the entire series together. I enjoyed it a great deal, but it's a very different experience from Mass Effect. I'd prefer them to stay different. I like both because they offer different things. I don't want them to be the same. I'll likely get accused of complaining before we know any details or "being a whinging BSN idiot", but I'm responding in anger here. Whether co-op or PvP, I believe that multiplayer is a completely unnecessary addition to Mass Effect 3.
