Bolting on a silly Left 4 Dead type game to an RPG is not interesting, not fun, and not at all what I want. If I want to go play a multiplayer shootie, I'll fire up Battlefield 3. For Mass Effect 3, I want to play single player. The reason I buy Bioware RPGs (every Bioware RPG ever made so far for Windows) is for the great single player story experience. I buy other games for multiplayer of various types (like BF3).

Now what makes this such a bad idea is the influence on the single player game. I am not interested in the MP aspect. I fired it up to give it a quick try, and I hate it. No surprise, I hated Left 4 Dead. This would be fine but I'm not at all interested in having or participate in something totally outside of the regular game experience.

So, we'll see how things go. If I find that indeed the single player can stand on its own, you can win the war all in there, then I'm a happy camper, though I still maintain it is a bad idea. If I find out that isn't the case I'm going to be real pissed off and this will likely be my last Bioware RPG purchase.

People have different kinds of games they like and don't like and it is a real bad idea to try and force one game type on another.

So my advice would be in a future patch decouple the multi-player from the single player entirely. You've spent the resources on it, so no point in getting rid of it or anything, but basically acknowledge that you've made two games: A (hopefully) epic SP RPG and a mediocre L4D clone. Let people play whichever they like and don't have one influence the other.

I'm sorry you feel that way, Sycraft, but surprisingly, ME3 multiplayer has been getting an overwhelmingly positive reaction from ME3 fans. Not just overwhelmingly positive, more like overwhelmingly fantasti-awesome! Since the multiplayer demo was released, we have been getting a tremendous amount of positive feedback here in our community and elsewhere in gaming-land. And the best part is, it's completely optional.

If you don't like the multiplayer, you never have to play it. At all. You'll just have to play through more side quests in the single-player game in order to achieve the same results. in the future, i would recommend you do your research before making an angry doom-and-gloom post, because we've been talking about the multiplayer for a little while now.

thanks, and thank you everyone fro your support and enthusiasm for our multiplayer!

Hopefully you guys can all get on the same connection because ME3 multiplayer doesn't support LAN. Lame, I know.

You can create a game and filter it to private then invite your friends--works great.  We're already doing that.  We just want to hang out, BBQ, and play some games together this weekend.
