 That 40+ hours also has to be non side quest eatra things to do in game.


Even though neither of the other games has given you any reason to expect such a thing?


The previous games all lasted 50-60+ hours playtime for me from start to finish.


It took you that long without all the side-quest stuff?  Because that's the requirement of yours I'm responding to.

I get the distinct feeling Bioware no longer wish to make single player RPG's or maybe even RPG's and instead wish to make hack and slash or shooter action titles now in order to compete mainly with GoW and such games, adding MP onto it because those other action and shooter titles have it. There is reason for lack of faith in Bioware from ME2 to DA2 to Kotor being made into MMO aswell as being decieved by manipulation of truths over past few months regarding MP in ME3.


Bioware started with multiplayer RPGs as an RPG maker, e.g. BG/BG2/NWN


The games were also huge.  BG2 was five disks.  Six if you include the Throne of Bhaal expansion.  I believe NWn was similarly huge.  WIth extra disks for two expansions as well.  

Gimme a fifty hour+ rpg experience in ME3 and we'll talk. about shoehorning in some MP

Geez. That has always been the most weak sauce argument for not having exploration. In a war you need: rescourses to keep fighting that war, Intelligence to try to learn as much about you enemy as possible,  Clandstine Star systems and Worlds for providing a save haven for non-combatants and staging areas for assaults. All of these material needs can only be found through EXPLORATION! Without them the War is hopeless.


The Council is a galaxy spanning government that has already gave the Normandy all the resources it needs. Seriously There is no time to mine **** for one frigate while the Galaxies military is getting so butt ****ed to the point where one of the enemies smallest ground vehicles can take ship weaponry!

Do you honestly believe that the Normandy is the only ship capable of gathering resources?

You conveniently left out my other examples for having exploration. And if you honestly think that I believe the Normandy is the only ship capable of exploration then you are lost. It is one of a likely dwindling fleet of ships. Everybody has to do their part to sustain the war. 

As far as having "all the resources given by the Council" If you honestly think that enough against the Reapers much less to sustain war (likely of attrition) that wil rage for some time then you are fooling yourself. The War is probably gonna require the Entire Anti-Reaper task force to retreat on a massive scale. Whatever the Council may have given you or whatever you have at your disposal would most likely have been either destroyed/repurposed by the Reapers or would be (or will eventually) exhausted by Shepard's task force. More will be needed, Intelligence must be gathered and secret bases must be found.

Throwing all of you forces at the the Reapers as you seem to suggest would be a needless waste of lives and rescourses and would quicken the Galactic genocide.  


Nice twisting of words It is lovely the way you do it I just can't find a way out of it.

Lets talk about your other examples then.

1. Worlds to provide safe haven.

Not a job for a ship sent out to unite the Galaxy and take out specific Reaper bases. The Council has millions of other personnel for that. Also where could they necessarily go? The Reapers knows the Relay network perfectly and can 

2.Gathering minerals 

Also a job for other groups in the military not a highly advanced Frigate. Also the Reapers haven't destroyed all Council resources. So far they only attacked 2 Council home planets out of dozens more planets. 

Now regarding your assumption that I said the resources the council had enough (which is a blatant lie on your part) to stop the Reapers well then you didn't read my post. It is enough resources for the Normandy. Shepard's job so far is to unite the other races to fight the Reapers and find a way to defeat them. The resources you are likely thinking about are required to be build military equipment, vehicles, ships , weapons etc. The only thing in a war like this that would manner is a fleet. So far any conventional means of fighting the Reapers are insufficient. Any resources Shepard fine couldn't be used in a timely enough manner to be an effect. That is why the Council has other forces to deal with that duty. 

Also the Reapers are too powerful to deal with by gathereing resources and even allies. There would need to be a different way to defeat them which is likely a superweapon or Shepard somehow negotiating with them.

Priestly came out in the thread and commented about the 4 player coop missions. The reason why it wasn't in the OP was because I have a life, I was outside picking up my copy of Dark Souls, give me a sec to add the link to read Priestly's comments.

Nah. If they announce Origin is mandatory for all ME3 PC copies, it will be even worse.

Honestly guys, I'm so happy now. It seems I will buy the game on day one after all. Sounds like I should play Arrival then.

I am not happy about this MP mode in ME3. Take a look at Fable 2 and Fable 3. The MP modes sucked. In Fable 2 the MP/Co-op mode was tacked on and was useless. Hell it was hard to get any of the MP/Co-op achievements for the game. Fable 3's Co-op/MP mode was a bit better than the second game but the Co-op/MP mode caused bugs in the game, caused achievements to not activate, caused characters in the game that were developing along a certain path to develop along all 3 paths.

I do not like Co-op/MP modes in my single player games. Especially those that require you to do the MP/Co-op to get achievements. Because not everyone does online gaming like this.

Seriously they just ruined ME3 for me.

Welcome to BSN, where we blow everything out of porportion. Good, bad, unneeded, who cares? Everything deserves a 90 page thread of rage and hate.

On topic though, I have to wonder if this means ME3 will require Origin.

I guess its not a big deal. I mean its only a game right? I can still go play hockey with my bros, or go mountain biking, spar with my buddy's at the dojo, or even go kite boarding in the winter. I guess yes, your right I shouldn't be upset with this because I have a fullfilling life outside of video games, however THIS does upset me. Not sure why it should, and I never nerd rage Never have. I didnt even nerd rage at Jar Jar or C 3POs lame comments in the prequels (and im a huge SW fan). But this actually upsets me
Again like I said, likely just pissed off at huge companies controlling the creativity of smaller developers that they bought out
Just shows you where bioware is heading in the future I guess....
There goes our SP games boys

Why? Why is it automatically a bad idea? You have no idea what it will even be like. Calm the hell down and wait until you know something about it.


Hmm, lets see.

1. Not needed in this SINGLE PLAYER GAME

2.  Majority of fan base does not want or care about co-op so it is a wasted effort to begin with.

3. It shows EA's fingers in Bioware and the decreasing independence that they have from their corpoate masters.

4. Any kind of multiplayer takes resources and time aways from perfecting the Single Player.  It can be said that the Single player could suffer just by there being MP because of this. 

So if we add this all up it comes down to: Why waste money and resources for a traditionally single player game to add a co-op mode that most of your fans of the game will NEVER use and hardly ever play?  It can't be for new players because this is:
A). A terrible time to bring in new players since it is teh END of the trilogy and

B). An RPG.  Adding co-op is not going to change casual fans perceptions of the game and what it is.


You're making too many assumptions to be taken seriously. You assume that you speak for the majority of ME players. You assume that Bioware is adding this because their evil overlords demand it and not because they want to extend the life of the finale of their biggest IP. You assume that they don't know how to make a MP mode that works well, even though a lot of the people working on TOR are also working on ME3. You assume that they took resources away from the story/campaign to do this and didn't have a separate team working on it. You assume Bioware should be fine with each installment selling just as many or fewer units than the previous installment.
All you're doing is making assumptions and not making an argument to support your pessimism. I'm optimistic and hopeful. This could be a great way to add life beyond several playthroughs to observe the differences choices make. And it should help ensure a lenghty DLC schedule.


Good for you, glad your optimistic.

I don;t think those are assumptions at all.  I do think they really can't do multiplayer well.

I think it is a waste of time.  I don't need multiplayer to extend the life of a game series I have beat four times with different Shepards.  I think it is extended enough for most of us.  And DLC? Really?  Lol, whatever...

It is time and resources however you slice it by the way, but whatever you want to think.  Check the net, lots of people don't think this is a good idea.  I

Yes? Maybe? Possibly? Plausible? Other words?

Yeh took me around 35-40 hours in ME1 and ME2 took less if counting pokemon style main plot alone or about 25 which is one of reasons sold it. I'm not a rush person myself and choose not to play on easy really those times are me taking it slow without sub quests and such with sub quests I tend to end up with around 60+ hours on ME1 and only 35-40 on ME2. If ME3 is same as ME3 but without all the side quests and such that previous games had then I worry the game will only be the equivilant of 25-30 tops for me. As I do not know how Casey plays without knowing how slow he is taking it or more people playing to get an average time then it does not alleviate my concern. Like said though thats 1 of 3 concerns I have listed earlier.

Fable 2 had MP?

And why would ME3 have the same kind of MP as Fable 3? They are completely different games.

Charming. 

Nothing in the opening post backed up the claim made in the thread's title, so pardon me for requesting clarification.

I guess Half Life's the only one left that can carry that title whenever lifetime Valve decides to finish the damn thing. xD 


...Half-Life has multiplayer...


Faliolurez... considering that Half Life gave birth to both Team Fortress and Counter Stike... you're dumb sir.


Faliolurez.

Hm.

I'll have to remember that one.

>_>

VALVE gave birth to Team Fortress/Counter Strike, I was talking about the main Half Life
games; HL1/Blue Shift/the other one, HL2/episodes

Yes there was addons and remakes that included multi but thats not what I was talking about. :/

Look I'm upset too but maybe we should wait till wednesday. Maybe they will show us some gameplay into how it works.
