 Seriously. What a waste of space.

[IceTrey1987]

The multiplayer is great and there was room on the second disc so they put it on there too. Why complain about not having to swap discs when you feel like playing mp?

they shouldve put campaign on one disk and MP on another. or something.

That definitely could have been space for more campaign, dialogue, better ending, etc.

You're assuming that the whole singleplayer fits on one disk. That seems highly unlikely. Disc swap in SP would have been required at some point. So putting MP on both disc has no disadvantage at all, but a small advantage for MP player.
Now, the campaign stuff maybe could have been distributed a bit better as the first third of the game can result in too many disc changes, but the inclusion of the MP isn't the problem.

Apparantly that kind of talk is blasphemy.  Or something.

Honestly the more annoying part is shortly after you have to do the first disc swap you unlock an N7 mission and have to swap back to disc one to do that then back to disc two to do the next story mission which unlocks another N7 mission which requires another swap back to disc one. Someone wasn't thinking **** through.

I suppose the alternative is even more linear gameplay.

I think this is a fair complaint. The multiplayer takes up at a conservative estimate 200mb per disc.

That is still hell of a lot of space that could have been used for extra single player dialogue.

Now that isn't a slight against the quality of the multiplayer in Mass Effect 3, it is after all very good, but to say it didn't take anything away from the single player is also wrong.

What's a disk?

On a serious note, I don't really see a problem with it. Lack of disk space wouldn't have had anything to do with the design decisions in ME3. If they needed the space on one disk for more SP stuff they would have just used it. Or even made MP it's own disk. Disks are fairly cheap. But they didn't so it's on both the disks so you don't have to keep swapping. Seems reasonable.

I doubt that the amount of dialogue depended on disk size, writing and production ressources are more important. And it's not like the campaign has a shortage compared to ME1 and 2. You might not like how they used some of their ressources (squad banter and lots of ambient dialogue), but it is there.

Multiplayer has a better story than the single player

Not blasphemy. Merely idiotic. There's no reason to think that more disk space would have meant more content.

I don't think you quite understand how things work. More space always = ability to have more content.

Actually Alan is right.

Space on discs is main limitation but it doesn't mean that free space = more campaigns and dialogs. Money, work time and such is quite more important here then free space on disc.

Or do you think that developers looks on on disc and say: "Hey, look, 1 mega of free space, we have to work another month and spends another thousands dollars to fill it." ? Because exactly this suggesting first quote in this pyramid when he claimed that space occupied by MP is reason for less campaings, dialog or  better endings.

Whose bright idea was it to put multiplayer on both discs?

Presumably the same genius who didn't implement proper HD install in the age cheap multi-TB hard drives (and swapping hard drives is not exactly rocket science either compared to other brilliant ideas like having soldered-on 256MB memory in the age of 4GB RAM modules)

Wow... You folks really are running out of stuff to complain about....

True, "consoles suck" is hardly news.

[We'll bang okay]

i go away for a few months so people stop complaining about shep the ending tails face but i come back to see more complaining about the most pointless things really does it matter that much if mutiplayer is on both discs it so you don't have to switch to play multiplayer and switch back to play single player.

[Bendigoe]

People seem to forget that a lot of the Single Player DLC we got wouldn't have been anywhere near as good (or maybe even created) if it wasn't for the money garnered from packs bought with real money in multiplayer.

Although I suppose you could then argue that if multiplayer was not in the game there wouldn't have been any need for certain DLC's as more time would have been spent on creating SP content for the discs.

Then you have to remember EA says it's mandatory every game they publish has multiplayer...
But the multiplayer was good anyway so...

What if the MP uses parts of SP (like textures and models) and only for that reason MP is only 200MB?
