I think what everyone is forgetting is that EVERYTHING that was spend to create this CO-OP, getting a second team and getting it ready for march of 2012 is exactly what they could have used to create a more compelling Single Player Experience.  You could have gotten more planets, more missions, every mission that was in Co-op could have been in the single player experience.

You could have gotten more interaction scenes with Tali, Garus , Wrex. ...etc

You could have gotten more maps for missions

You could have more weapons

You could have more armors

You could have a longer Tali adventure, or any adventure about your companions.

You could have gotten more of everything, those that was meant for DLC could have gotten included in the initial shippment , and those extras could have become DLC.

Anyone that says otherwise is just fooling themselves. In every game that we have played , something is always taken out to add another feature.

I am not against a Co-op , it sounds cool and everything but I didn't play Mass Effect 1 and 2 and waiting for 3 to play a CO-OP , I play those games so that I can continue Shepard's Story and more of his story. Mass Effect 1 and 2 both feel alittle short to me. Thats why I didn't want Co-op, I wanted a long , epic journey for Mass Effect 3.  I know that this Co-op will work, it will be a success, but what will not be a success is all the WHAT IF'S  




VERY agreed.

I know people feel really strongly about this topic, but let's cut it out with the name-calling and insults, please. Our posted Site rules--the very rules that you agreed to abide by when you signed up to participate in our community--are still very much in effect here.


It is indeed a real pity that alot of people are not able to have civil discussion online these days. Why do people feel the need to insult others simply for having a differing opinion or view on a subject than them?How is it such a threat to them?  I will never understand that kind of childish mentality.

I'm looking forward to more details. I didn't expect(I'm not saying I didn't want) them to impliment multiplayer. i see a lot of opportunity in this, since It might be cool to be able to affect the war with co-op.

I'm not going to make an informative post supporting why ME3 SP will be fine, because it will be ignored and pushed down 3 pages in about 20 seconds. You guys should just cancel your preorders like you say you will and permeneantly log off.

Or maybe you still have hope, which is why you are posting and not leaving.


I'm waiting til tommorrow.  But that show better have a lot of red/blue words to convince me.

I know my girlfriend got so mad when I started to set up some multi player action with this girl at work, she is so full of herself thinking that since I spent all that time only with her that is how it is going to be forever and that there is no way I would spend time and money on something new.

How full of herself and vain is that?

Okay, are you seriously comparing Bioware to your lover or are you making fun of the people that do?

So most of the doomsaying going on here has nothing to do with whether or not the game will be more fun, since you can just ignore the MP and have it not effect you at all, but because people are upset that Bioware cares about other people, too, and not just them.

How incredibly vain.

If you were trying to turn my logic around on me, you lost the plot somewhere in the middle. Unless you're comparing the relationship between Bioware and purists as a monogamous relationship, which is taking things off the deep end of crazy. Or you're just screwing around.

ME3 is about Shepard and finding a way to defeat the Reapers....or stop them....anything....to save organic life. Now Shepard has been swept under the rug and at the very least there are corresponding characters.


You mean Garrus, Wrex, Tali, Liara, Legion, Mordin, Grunt, Miranda, Jack, Joker, Jacob, Zaeed, Kasumi, Ashley, Kaidan...those guys? Because I'm pretty sure without them you wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the Collector Ship, and even if you did, that last leap would have sent you plummeting into space.

While the character the player is controlling is Shepard, and the action revolves around Shepard, it has never been solely about Shepard.

Ancient Metal wrote...

So much so, along with my girlfriend, that we have both cancelled our preorders of Mass Effect 3.


So you came on here to let us know you're doing that? Wow...that ought to raise a few eyebrows.

...I still don't understand what publicly announcing cancelling pre-orders really accomplishes.

No more cliche than arguing that MP is only added to sell dlc. Your generalizations are all rather weak. Portal 2 would also like to have a word with you.

The anti-MP crowd has more merit in their argument than the pro-MP crowd.


The 'merit' seems to be that Bioware is daring to cater to people that aren't them and they're throwing a temper tantrum.

Doug4130 wrote...

does it matter who has more merit?  The game will have multiplayer regardless


Of course it matters. There's still time to get Bioware to admit they're wrong and pull the MP mode.


I dunno man, I'm pretty excited to be able to play ME with my friends instead of just talking about it with them.  People who aren't interested in playing a RPG won't get ME3 just because there is an online component.  By that time BF3 will still be new, gears of war will still be thriving etc.  People who enjoy the mass effect series will play mass effect 3 and be able to do so with other people if they so desire.

They aren't wrong, and it's not gonna get pulled.  Would you rather they released a ME3 single player edition and a ME3 single player+multiplayer coop edition for the same price?

Because whether it affects it or not is completely your choice.  Nothing is being forced on you at all, in the slightest.  You can pretend that multiplayer is not there, never click it once, and it will not affect your experience in any way shape or form.  You don't want multiplayer?  Don't play it then.  People who do want it will play it.  Everybody gets to do it the way they want to.  


Your wrong. You are being "forced" to do it if there are multiplayer achievments. I feel it is unfair. I have always felt there should be two separate types of achievements. One area for Single Player, and one area for Multiplayer. That way you can still get 100% in the Single Player part and never even have to worry about the rednundant and trendy Mutliplayer band wagon everyone is jumping on. Games like Assassins Creed and Dead Space do NOT need Multiplayer and would be much better off without it. Some people work very hard to get 100% in their games, but being forced to play part of the game they really dont care at all to play in order tyo get them is unfair. I can't count how many games I would have 100% on if it were not for the stupid mutliplayer achievemtns ruining it. No, not everyone enjoys playing with others all the time. That is why I am looking forward to Batman Arkham City so much, not a spec of Multiplayer or Co-Op in it.


Your argument here doesn't get to magically work. If you want 100% on achievements in any game, you don't get to choose which ones to perform and which ones to ignore. By admitting your desire to obtain all achievements, there is always that significant possibility of finding a million different achievements that are either difficult or not to your taste, for whatever reason. If BIoware created an achievement for romancing Kaidan and I don't want to play femshep, I'm still going to be forced down that road or lose the 100%.


it isnt an agrument, it is an opinion. The same as yours.


Actually its a fact that you dont need all the Achievements


I also don't need to eat steak for dinner tonight, but I want to so I am going to.

The whole thing is opinions, some people want to get all the achievements and are worried that the MP may cause them to not be able to, perhaps because of skill, lack of people to play with, no internet hooked up to their system.

Do they need to get 100% on this game? No

Do they want to? Yes.

Do they find it unfair that there is a chance they may not? Yes

A better question is, why does their complaints bother you? A simple concern about the addition on multiplayer should not effect your life, yet it is, why is that?

Games are an artform, the same as cinema...WAS. When corporations get ahold of them thats when they only care about profit and milk everything to death until the art is gone. We are getting near that point in gaming now. Cinema has already fallen off the cliff.

Yes that is a good point, especially taking disk space into consideration - I would gladly axe MP in favour of any of those things you have mentioned.

(note, I am neither anti, nor pro MP - I am indifferent to it)

Most of the audience is not alienated.

What they indisputably are are assumptions, but that's it. Bioware is a business, they're supposed to try and raise their sales by pulling in new people. Why should they never attempt to expand the playerbase?

A) They are wrong. It was poor judgment on Bioware's part to include MP in this game.

Would I rather they released the game as a SP game, with the MP mode as DLC? Absolutely.

 Seriously, this sounds friken awesome!  How can people be angry with an optional multiplayer that doesn't impact single player one single bit?
