So according to you, games are not allowed to evolve? Feel free to go back to your single player green screen text-based adventure games from the 80's then.
Now, you are missing the whole point here, perhaps you are just busy putting words into peoples' mouths.
I didnt' say games shouldn't evolve. Multiplayer is not "evolving", it's one of the oldest forms of gaming, you know that. My point is that we have a game series with two past releases neither of which had multiplayer. Both were fantastic single player games and worked well that way. Introducing a new element to a perfectly fine product is not necessary and is a waste of resources that could well be put safely on assets we know and love. Polls show that a small minority of fans want multiplayer, which means people want BW to focus on making a good single player story with good gameplay. It's just that simple.
I am not saying that multiplayer is a bad thing, and I obviously don't know what ME3's multiplayer is going to be like. But I do know that it's not necessary, and as apparently a minor gameplay factor will be rather short lived.
Now I suggest you stop acting like some self-righteous degenerate and take others' opinions into consideration, too. You know, not just insulting others and dramatically overreacting to everything.
No matter what any of these trolls say, they will all buy ME3 and then complain AGAIN why they shouldn't of bought it. those that complain about DA2 have probably played through it more than once. Bioware delivers. even if they changed their games up a lot.
Stop making such assumptions as they are wrong.
I had two playthroughs in DA2, one as Warrior male and one as Female Mage, and I considered DA2 that "great" I didn't even register it to my account here. The story was intriguing but it was nothing like DA:O. Too many unnecessary changes, and absolutely abominable gameplay. I loved the characters but all that potential was wasted by pulling my hair out when another dozen of generic bandits spawn behind my back and kill Anders.
Co-op was developed by a seperate team to SP. Co-op hasn't taken anything away from Sp and has actually added to it. If they weren't making Co-op, then those guys wouldn't be working on ME at all.
Why should Bioware stagnate with their self proclaimed "hardcore" fanbase instead of inovating and incorperating new ideas? There isn't a single legitimate reason to NOT buy ME3 because of the MP but there are several good reasons as to why somebody would pick up ME3 because of it when they otherwise wouldn't have.
Some people just fear change.
I understand you point but all I'm saying is that there are probably a limited amount of dollars in developing the game and all the dollars spent on co-op could be spent on perfecting single player even further.
I think BW should indeed stagnate - for now. We have two Mass Effects both entirely single player so why change it now? They know what the fans want so why not keep Shepard's last voyage the way it was in the previous titles. They can make all future games MMORPGS for all I care. But if they decide to make co-op anything else than a minor extra for separate mini missions it WILL result in gameplay eating the story. It's inevitable.
But I suppose I am "afraid" of change, that much I admit. I am a "play it safe" type of person anyway. Got a good thing going - keep it that way.
Furthermore, I am not such a drama queen that refuses to buy ME3 because one thing there doesn't amuse me. Hell will freeze before ME3 will be a game not worth buying.
