ME3 multiplayer will last me until the day Borderlands 2 comes out, and then I'm gone until new content, which is unlikely at that point. Diablo 3 isn't nearly enough to tear me away personally.

[jamesfrom818]

I always expected the PC fanbase to die much faster. Part of the reason I've been getting my games in now before the community moves on.

[Bhatair]

I'm not really all that excited for D3, I'll be playing it because I'm getting it for free but I doubt it will really tear much attention from me.
Max Payne 3 on the other hand is something I'm looking forward to. I might also pick up The Witcher 2 Enhanced Ed.

I say the better personally. This will get rid of some of the elitists, and then also the people that just jump to whatever the newest game is. In my opinion, it will leave the people that A) actually like the game and want to play with people, aren't jerks, and C)people that know about the classes and use them correctly instead of just playing for funzies

So you're expecting both the elitists and the people that play for fun to leave?  

50-70% may have been too low an estimate...  

By funzies I more meant the people that will bring in an engineer with 2 heavy weapons or the ones that play a vanguard and just charge around rather than playing seriously.

How much one like's the game has no bearing on the population or desire to play said game.

Mass Effect is arguably my favorite video game series of all time. Period. To me, it's THAT good. But let's be honest....I, for one, can't pick up SP again since after doing two runs on Insanity and getting the same crap ending, there is nothing left to do since my choices don't matter. Waiting for EC is the only solution.

My N7 level is over 800 - i have all N7 weapons between Rank III - V. I play MP daily. I am not an elitist, and genuinely enjoy the game. But it is getting extremely repetitive with one game mode and basically just grinding for credits - there are no other incentives to get me to keep playing. It's just a moneysink for BioWare at this point for others as well. All i'm saying is MP needs a change of pace, and fast. Regardless of what you feel about ME and the RPG/Shooter genre, big games like Diablo, Max Payne, GH: FR and the BF3 expansion packs will significantly reduce the population - that's to be expected. 

But I feel like if BioWare takes their sweet time as more and more new games are relased, it's going to give THEM less incentive to bring out more and more content as the population continues to die down. In other words, stop with the weapons and character cards (unless it's a Volus or Elcor), and inject some actual, substantive game modes into MP. It's not that hard to comprehend what MP needs. Time is of the essence here.

actually im gonna stop for the witcher 2 and prototype 2. maybe diablo 3, i havent played it before. ohhh also halo 4.... wow all these predecessors...

[Trakarg]

Diablo 3 really isn't that fun.  I've been in a beta for a while, and the first 13 levels are... well, damn boring.

[nycmode75]

I don't think MP will die completely but it might be harder for people who get into ME3 later on to find a lot of different matches. This is where MP and SP should not impact each other.

[Seeten]

I have the D3 Beta also, and I was bored to tears. After I beat the boss, I never went back and played it again. Maybe the full game will be more fun, I sure hope it will, but the beta is completely lackluster.

good point! it does get rather stale quickly and they dont give you any incentive to play more beyond getting better equpipment. they really do need to add a few modes fast or this ships gonna sink by the end of the year.

[tMc Tallgeese]

I'm thoroughly entertained with both the single player and co-op play modes. I do play other games, but see no reason why I'd stop because of other releases.

I'm not saying I play all the time or even that I do have a life, but I don't ONLY play one game, maybe that is part of what keeps me able to keep playing this? I don't know.
And genre is a big thing in video games. I play almost ONLY rpgs. Don't get me wrong, I play halo and call of booty because my friends play them, but if I'm looking for a new game to play, I go to the RPG games before anything else. And I know that most people do this as well. And as many people have pointed out, your argument applies only really to pc players. I play pc games, but my xbox is where my mass effect saves are, and I'm not likely to go to Diablo 3 anyhow.

[joshynoob]

 Maybe bioware will bring back that protean object recovery mission that I heard was already on the disk. The new mission variety would be very attractive to me!

[AlexMBrennan]

Do Diablo and Mass Effect MP share the same target audience? Really? I thought the idea was to grab a slice of the shooter market.

I really, really enjoy MP....but without any actual gameplay enhancements and not just characters and weapons added...I feel like Diablo 3's imminent release will kill off at least 50-70% of the population.

Anyone else feel the same way? We need more game modes!

I am actually looking forward to the release of Diablo III and Halo 4, so that the hardcore fans can relax and enjoy the ME3 MP without all of the whiny new-release "fans" with a sense of entitlement getting int the way of our enjoyment.
Clear-em out, I say.

The only thing that will be dead soon is this thread.

D3 will cause a vacuum of players from every game on the market for about... 2 weeks. Most will hit the boredom wall early, because D3 is not very fun or engaging. It pales in comparison to D2.

[IonSilverbolt]

If people leave, they will come back when new stuff comes out. The mechanics are great in this game. It just needs some new opponents to kill, and new game modes and maps wouldn't hurt either.

That sucks to hear. Either way I'll be getting D3, but I hope to keep playing ME3 because there are still lots of things I want to do and try (both in multi and sp). Time will tell, I suppose.

[unchained wrath]

Waiting for GRFS.
when that hits,I will not be on ME3 MP at all,just is not enough meat here to keep my around.

[Purple People Eater]

With Max Payne 3, Ghost Recon FS, and Dragons Dogma coming next month...ME3 multiplayer will be pretty much dead for me. Not to mention im knee deep in the awesomeness that is The Witcher 2 right now. Unless there is something drastically new done to the multiplayer, I cant see giving much more time to it.

Diablo sucks, too much clicking.
Plus in D3 you'll be able to buy gear for real money (hm sound familiar?) so it will simply be a game of
whoever spends the most $$ = wins.

How is that different from ME3 MP? What's that? It's not? Oh ok.

This is actuall why I'll be playing D3. I'm not poor so it's gonna be a blast. = )

Diablo 3's

THERE'S AN OPEN BETA TODAY. IF YOU HAVE A BATTLE.NET ACCOUNT, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND PLAY TO LEVEL 15.

WHAT AM I DOING ON THESE FORUM?!?!?!

Oh yeah, I'm at work.

[LostinJersey]

I plan on playing both ME3 MP and Diablo 3 and probably borderlands 2. looks like I'm not gonna be sleeping much in the winter.

[Count Viceroy]

Play more than 1 game? Impossible....

[Anamaroth]

For me ME3 multiplayer is already dead. Disconnects happen every single match.
