Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of the single player campaign, giving players an alternative method of achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind – and the entire galaxy – has ever faced.

Thanks for saving me sixty dollars, Chris. At least you guys are being honest about it.

I said when multiplayer was first confirmed that I would reserve judgment until I knew more about.

Now that I know more about it, my judgment is: OMG this is so totally awesome!

You must have missed the part where he said that it's totally optional and you can achieve the best possible ending without it.

When I first heard 'multiplayer' I cringed, and hid under my sheets, and prayed for the best but was prepared for the worst. Then, Casey tweeted that it was co-op and it was nothing we'd feared - which provided some relief but still minor skepticisim. NOW I'm seeing this - and I couldn't be more excited. This is one of my favorite series' ever, and this looks like it's gonna be an incredible addtion to an already amazing game... HELL YES!

Just wondering... You have read the next parts of his post and understood them, right?

I don't get it. If you don't want it to have impact on the single player campaign, don't play it?  Posted Image

What I am more worried is that if you choose to play the MP that your SP will be easily influenced to the positive side. I don't want to play an evening MP and almost automatically get the perfect SP ending.

I wouldn't mind if by playing MP you get resources (can be actual resources or weapons for troops or whatever you have to manage in ME3) instead of planet mining that you can choose to spend in SP on your weapon upgrades or on something similar to ME2's ship upgrades that actually influence the story.

So in short, I want the option to choose if MP influences my SP. Hope to hear more on that tomorrow.

I'm so not happy about this. It's one thing to include stand alone multiplayer, it's another thing entirely to have it impact the single player campaign.


did you miss the part where he said it was optional, and that you can still get the same results by playing single player


Did you miss the part where he said  "Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of the single player campaign"  They can spin it anyway they want about being able to get the same result in the single player, but the optimal way is going to do it through MP.


Completely agreed. If co-op can in any way affect the SP then it's no longer quite so "optional". It becomes mandatory, and this is where I have a problem with it.

So, made the call, cancelled my pre-order this morning.. I'll wait for bargain bin.

"It is important to note that the system is entirely optional and just
another way players can have control over your game experience – it is
still possible to achieve the optimal, complete ending of the game in
Mass Effect 3 through single-player alone."
......
"it is

.....
Did you skip that?


Did you skip this:

Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of
the single player campaign, giving players an alternative method of
achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind – and the
entire galaxy – has ever faced.


And you clearly don't understand what the "whole statement" means.
It means this. You are rewarded bu playing the MP with the same rewardS you can get with the SP.
If you play the sp alone, you lose nothing and still gain everything you get in the mp in the sp. If you play the mp you can get the sp rewards.......

So in the end, it's an alternete way to get thing in the sp if you don't have an import for the game.

No.

Try reading again.

"Galactic Readiness," not "a crutch for what Shepard did in the past games"

-______-

They stated...
"Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of
the single player campaign, giving players an alternative method of
achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind – and the
entire galaxy – has ever faced........It is important to note that the system is entirely optional and just

....
I wonder what those two statments together mean.:whistle:

This is a concern of mine as well. If things begin to sound more and more in-line with this fear the solution will be simple though -- I'll avoid playing co-op until I've completed the game.

Why include 4 player Co-op multiplayer in Mass Effect 3?

You sold out to the multiplayer crowd. That is the only reason you added it, don't hide behind the pretty marketing speak.

I laugh at anyone who cancels their preorder over this. I'm sorry, but how stupid and ignorant can you be?

MP interacting with the SP in any way is not to my liking. At all.

So besides more information about how the whole GaW stuff works right now I need to know:

Can I play the coop missions by myself?
Does this mean Origin is definitely a must to play ME3?

And how arrogant are you to think that they are ignorant for choosing to change their minds on what they spend their money on for whatever reason they deem applicable. Free will and freedom of choice.

I don't question their choice for doing so.  I question their reason for doing so.  Multiplayer has been said to be entirely optional feature.  And yet for some reason I still see someone complaining that they're making it a requirement for the best ending, when it has been specifically stated that it is not.

All sounds good to me.  I'm a little wary of the co-op having an impact on the SP game, but I will do a SP only 1st run through so no reall worries there Posted Image
