I'm curious as to what Bioware is hoping to accomplish with adding multiplayer to Mass Effect 3. Better sales? Are they hoping to conquer the market for 3rd person cover shooters with four co-op missions? That seems... optimistic, to put it lightly.
It's official - Mass Effect 3 has multiplayer.

I've never even played a Mass Effect game, so my thoughts on this matter will probably end up being overlooked and frowned upon by everyone and their dog.
My question is, why is it such a big issue having multiplayer? Surely the answer would be just to not play the multiplayer.

Hmm... Interesting idea. I'd prefer one player, as that's been what the trilogy's all about. Your choices. You're the bloody saviour of the galaxy. Do NOT want teabagging on that.
But Bioware's always been interesting. I'll gladly see how it turns out, but I'm doubting it. Ah well, if it happens, it happens. Just think it'd sell better as a separate game.
I'd love to play something with the turian first contact. The first contact war as multiplayer? Hell yes.

*GASP* MULTIPLAYER?! THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE WORST GAME TO EVER BE MADE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!
See how silly that sounds?
Relax, it's just co-op. Stand alone co-op, mind you. Think Portal 2 multiplayer but with more killing.

This is going to afflict ME3 with what i call "Multiplayer-Cancer" A perfect game for single player has its single player story slashed with a rusty fish-scaler to make room for multiplayer "features" if you pronounce features as "tumors" when a game that has worked PERFECTLY as a single player game has multiplayer shoehorned in, both modes suffer.
If you don't care, spiffy. Play whatever you like. And the world keeps on spinnin'.
If you don't like the multiplayer, spiffy. Play the single-player until your eyes fall out, then learn to play by sound with those high-speed surround-sound gaming headphones. And the world keeps on spinnin'.
If you think it'll detract from the story or single-player experience, this is friggin' BIOWARE here, the company that is practically built on the reputation of story- and character-driven gaming experiences. Shut up. Play whatever you like. And the world keeps on spinnin'.
And more importantly, Bioware sells 10 billion copies in a day.

Derp on me. I didn't even not see the word "player". I read it as "four...player co-op missions" not "four-player...co-op missions". I guess that's what happens when you don't play any multiplayer...and you're derpy in the head.Zhukov said:
I still say it isn't a big deal. I'll just be able to sell my online pass for however much they go for, assuming it isn't also tied to single-player content.
It's co-op guys. CO-OP! Co-op is an awesome thing. And if it's co op for the same campaign as the single player it won't drain many of your precious single player resources. I can't wait to play this with my best friend.
Great... now we're going to have so many Shepards the entire Galaxy would need call for a wizard to save them.
If the co-op feature is rooted in the campaign though I have no problem whatsoever. Oh and Can I Haz Garrus?

Wait is this real multiplayer or just Co-Op? I'm actually OK with Co-Op, so long as it doesn't detract from the single player game.
If we're talking deathmatch-style multiplayer... WHY? Who the hell thinks that's a good idea?

I'm not interested in the multiplayer in this story driven Action RPG.
I would like to see how they make it however.It will be awkward to see multiple Sheps or Femsheps shooting each other.

This better not be a co-op thing, if its separate and the campaign is on par with something like Mass Effect 2 (hopefully longer) then it won't bother me.
Co-op ruins the individual experience for a single player game like this.
