Just as a teacher can't promise that a test will be easy.

Yes they can as they hand over the answer sheet at the same time.

There's a bit of a problem with your logic.

Not really, feature not used = feature he doesn't want to pay for. It's pretty simple.

So the female version of Shepard is just an extra tacked on to the game? I'm afraid it's not that simple. A player can choose to be either female or male. We can choose either to play co-op or...not. It's not like you can't have Shepard, there's just two different versions. So, if you don't use FemShep, you use MaleShep by default...feature of being able to choose a gender is used. If you choose to not play co-op...it just sits there on your menu, unused, by default. Does that make sense?

Though, I have to say that we're not actually paying for the co-op feature per se...we were gonna pay US$59.99 for ME3 with or without it, it's not like they're charging extra or something. So I won't say, "Oh, how horrible of you, BioWare, for making me pay for a feature I didn't want!" However, I still maintain my position that the finale of Shepard's trilogy was not the place to throw in a co-op/multi-player experiment.

I really hope that this is like Portal 2's co-op...separate and away from the single-player game itself. I'm really hoping to be impressed by the announcement on Wednesday.

Ok Fine I have a legitimate complaint that bioware should address.

Will I be missing actual story content if I play only Singleplayer and not multiplayer. I missed stuff in Portal 2 from not having anyone to play with will it be the same in ME3

This is really the only issue I have with multiplayer. Sure, the main campaign is probably going to be totally awesome and I'll play it to death and then some, but I just can't stand the thought of missing out on content just because I don't have anyone to play with.  I hated that in Portal 2 as well. Felt like I was being cheated, even though the single player game was fantastic.

Though if the multiplayer is only going to involve mindless shooting, I don't really give a damn. And in any case, nothing will make me any less excited about the ending to the trilogy. My preorder ain't going nowhere.

This is kinda random, but has anyone ordered the N7 aluminum sports bottle from the Bioware store?

Just wondering how good it is. xP (for quality, etc)

Like I said many times....ME3 already looked like a very linear third person shooter. With energy swords and railgun sequences!!! Is anyone really surprised by multiplayer, since ME3 pretty much looked like a third person shooter, anyways?

Whatever the outcome of the single player....full effort wasn't given to it. Some of the effort was given to multiplayer.

How people cannot comprehend this simplistic logical correlation baffles me.

Your reasoning is based on the unverified premise that a single team worked on both the single player and the multiplayer, rather than have two teams working at the same time. I'll give you that there could be integration problems even so.

Very valid point since he already stated will be story based co-op, if you can't play unless have friends who also own the game aswell as the on the very same system you use aka PC, 360 or PS3 then thats story content you can't play if requires co-op to play. If it can be played as single player with AI companions like would do in single player game (if he didn't lie about it being story based) then technically it's not so bad because it can also be classed as single player content.

I know! Thats something I really hate about tac-on multi modes, they're abandoned so quickly and after a month or so you find yourself searching through forums like these and sending everyone friend requests just to find someone who plays it lol

I honestly don't see why people dislike this so much. If you don't want to play MP, then don't. And those who want to can.

While you are right in the one sense that the Reapers know the Relay network, their last last extinction cycle spared Ilos. My point is that Shepard or whoever can do the same thing and find an uncharted world that the Council nor any other power wouldn't have a record of  (for the Reapers to exploit) and use whatever worlds found as safe havens. Remember the Galaxy hasn't been fully mapped by any power. (perhaps not even the Reapers)

Remember what happened to those Protheans? The Reaper genocide went on for so long that power was running out. They couldn't let all the Protheans out since it would attract to much attention.

The reason I mention resource gathering is because The way I see it ,the Reaper war will likely be a war of attrition and Shepard will likely have to use a form of asymetric warfare to stay in the fight.  You appear to imply that there is a ticking clock that dictates what we need to do. Even if that were the case, the top priority should be prologing the war and keeping you fighting force viable until you can take bigger risks. Anything else is expendable.

Asymetric warfare only works when your enemy isn't nigh unstoppable to most conventional methods. The only way it could work if we commit and entire fleet to ambush one or two Reapers at a time. Even then we would lose more than the Reapers would. Also that type of warfare works with enemies who is capable of losing morale due to those attacks. Reapers are likely incapable of feeling fear.

There was nothing of any real substance that conters the fact that the Reapers likely have done some sever damage to the Council's resource gathering/stockpiling abilities. Neither of us really know how that will play out in the grand story. I assume based on what an attack force would do to an enemy, they would target resource stockpiles and defeat their capability to continue to wage war long term. 

The Reapers are advancing from the galactic south. So far they hit the Batarians and the homeworlds of the Alliance and Turian Hierarchy. The council still have a large amount of territory at there disposal and resources. 

Just as you accuse me of twisting your words, you assume that I think it would be strictly Shepard's job to explore and that we should somehow regress to ME1 style exploration. The way I see it, if it were up to me I would like to see a whole new exploration dynamic that is used to support the war effort. Have Shepard send some task force to find a perfect base or try to find some enemy intelligence. To me it seems like many of you want rush through the game like a lousy FPS. I prefer to take my time. 

False again I never accused you of that. A special ops team aren't necessarily sent to mine planets. It would be a waste of Shepard's time during a Galactic war. There are plenty of personnel the Council can send to do it.

I reserving judgment for when I get my hands on my copy. If the story is up to expectations, great. TBH - that all I care about. I'll probably try the multiplayer. If I like it, I'll continue. If I don't, I won't try it again.

We will all see in March. Until then, make up you own minds then or be swayed by some vocal people and never give it a chance. "Many decisions lie ahead...none of them easy"

That would be swell if you could play with AI companions. I mean it should be possible right? It's not like they have to solve any puzzles or anything.

Too bad that many of Bioware's games have multiplayer. So calm down.

There have been four major uproars about ME3's new features now - most if not all unnecessary.

-Omni blade: Use of this weapon is optional.
-s/s romances: Pursuing this in your ME3 is also optional.
-Fem Shep face voting: Playing as default Fem Shep is optional.
-multiplayer: Playing with others is also optional.

...Anyone else noticing a trend or is it just me?

It would have to include it imho if it's story based like Casey said. Because failure to do so excludes people from the story based content no different than having DRM to stop people playing single player game if not logged in to some spyware. Unless they force you to team up with random people in a LFG style nonsense or PuG if you happen to have not enough friends own both the same game and same system you have it for yourself.

Except the multiplayer is supposedly story based so saying it's optional is like saying playing the game is optional.  Technically correct but thats kind of why we buy the game.

I feel your rage man, but dont think this was Bioware's doing, mainly EA's.

EA has a wonderful reputation of f-ing up things. x| (Dead Space 2, C/C4, etc)
