Actually, no big surprise, Mass is wrong.
1. It's called Narrative flow, it gets completely disrupted when you interrupt it to go watch some random guy that has nothing to do with the plot. Doubt me? Go watch The Two Towers, and just as Helm's Deep starts, stop the movie and go watch Liar Liar, then come back. Tell me, do you still have the same emotions the director intended you to have? Nope. You've interrupted the flow and lost your audience's attention.
2. Do you have proof of this? Because I very highly doubt EA decided out of the goodness of their hearts to give people an extra game mode in a game that sells average, it's much more likely it's designed to sell Online Passes to used game buyers, than it is EA sinking a few million dollars into an average seller for the heck'uv it.
3. A few million spent in one place could've been spent in another place to improve some other facet.
4. You keep making the mistake of thinking this is meant to be some gift to the Players. Once again, do you really think EA spent that much money on a feature that doesn't improve the game, and very obviously won't make people run right out and buy it? Because I'm really confident no one looked at ME1 and thought "Nope, it doesn't have a handful of random co-op missions, not buying it". "Optional" feature is meant to improve revenues by getting used game buyers to pay EA something. As such, it's very highly unlikely to be Optional. Especially since OXM, who have seen the game, hint that it may not be as optional as you think.
5. Perhaps if you tried understanding what they're trying to tell you it would. They're saying that it's designed to be key to getting the Optimal Ending, making decisions redundant.
6. Once again, you keep thinking it's optional. Maybe you should try going back to the FAQ and noticing how Bioware completely dodges the question about it impacting Single Player, much like they did when they were asked if Multiplayer existed.
You really aren't getting what they're saying, which is *really* important since they've seen the game and you have not.
1. Okay, that's like saying that I'll interrupt the flow of a good story if I need to take a bathroom break, which is partially true, but I really doubt anything of significance is lost during that little break. Unless I have the attention span of a squirrel.
2. Yes. I have. In the beta leak. There are plenty of moments where you have to make a CHOICE. No amount of resources can make a choice for you.
3. Guess what. Throwing money at designers won't improve their workflow. And I like to think that multiplayer was taken in consideration when they were handed this budget so another studio could do it for them with different programmers that work in different ways than the main studio.
4. You mean just as much as people paid attention to the Mass Effect Galaxy app? Yeah. Just because they spent a lot of money on it doesn't mean it automatically makes it a better game. Same thing can be said about a lot of movies these days.
5. As I said before, War Assets, like fleets and troops won't make decisions for you, like...which person to protect/pick up or what part of a mission you should focus on. It doesn't make the decisions redundant. But it's nice of you to show that you're blinded by EA hate, as usual.
6. I have yet to see anything that indicates anything else. AGAIN: WAR ASSETS (which is the only damn thing you can get in the co-op, since the best you can do there is picking up supplies, upload data and bring certain object to pickup zones) ALONE WON'T WIN THE WAR. I don't think I can express that good enough.
There are plenty of choices (more so than in your precious ME1) in ME3 that dictates the outcome of the whole conflict between the two races/factions you're helping. By the way, if you had actually known what the goal with recruiting all these races actually is, I think you could easily see that it takes more than simple currency (yes, War Assets are used to purchase things like fleets, upgrades and such. It's glorified credits) to accomplish the ultimate goal with ME3.

Retour en haut
Multiplayer will probably drag in Origin for the PC and I don't want Origin either.
