When I first heard that Mass Effect 3 was going to have multiplayer, I laughed my ass out. Then I heard that it was going to be 4-player Co-Op and you can choose species and class, a tear of joy came out of my eye as I realized that wittle casey wudson was all grown up now. 

But seriously, why even bother? Is EA/Bioware missing a few brain cells? Who the heck are they competing with? I mean it's one thing to have co-op or competetive player in games like Saints Row & Assassin's Creed respectively, both of which offer a unique gameplay experience than just run & gun. On the other hand Mass Effect with it's rather cookie cutter, by the book, cover based, third person combat, broken only by the liberal application of powers seems like a poor choice to put multiplayer in.

I'm sorry Bioware Montreal (they are developing the Co-Op) but most won't touch your hard word because people don't play Mass Effect for the experience of consuming cheetos, drinking mountain dew and fightin **** with their homies. They play it for the charecters, exploration, the lore, the galactic scale, the science fiction etc.

Who are you competing with? Modern Warfare 3, Gears of War 3 & EA's own Battlefield 3? You think developers dedicated to multiplayer who have been doing this for years will suddenly be usurped by a bunch of newcomers? People would rather play those games for their multiplayer 3rd person combat. Talk about wasting your time. 

Not to mention that while back in the day even games like Deus Ex (some of the custom maps were CRAZY!) & Neverwinter Nights had multiplayer and was considered a welcome addition but that was in the hey day of PC games. Now multiplayer is miostly the realm of drunkard fratboys and immature 12 year old reatrds screaming obseneties into a mic. These people are unforyunately more common than smart, mature people who also play games.

Sure, we'll all give it a go. But then stop when we realize it doesn't have the magic of singleplayer and is just us and 3 friends on a frentic shooting spree while spouting species appropriate dialogue/game quotes and maybe making the Krogan teabag the Asari while the Salarian makes sex noises and the Turian watches in abject horror. 

Don't feel bad. It's good you gave it a try. But then don't feel bad when people stop paying attention to the co-op and EPIC or DICE show up at your doorstep and pinch your cheeks while declaring, "AWWW! Look at wittle Bioware thinking they can play ball (multiplayer) with the big boys"

Again, nice try Bioware but you just wasted a ton of money & time.
Mass Effect will always be the handsome geek to the mutated monster jocks of multiplayer shooters
