Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer?!

[JeanLuc761]

Fantastic. Shortest development cycle yet. Focusing on making it "the best entry point in the series". And now multiplayer mode.

The developers just aren't going to have enough time to make a satisfactory single player campaign. Dragon Age 2 proved they need time to work the magic, and this is getting crammed even more then that from the looks of it.

I agree on your second and third points, but Mass Effect 3 is definitely not the shortest development cycle. Mass Effect 2 took just over two years. Mass Effect 3 is taking just over two years. The development cycle for both is pretty much the same.

I'm surprised this move is generating so much hate, but Bioware does have the most bratty fanbase in the world after all

I'm not really a fan of the series, I didn't even play the second one, since it was too much of a generic cover-based shooter, and I still think it is a bad idea to dilute the series even more.

But what can I expect from people who want to make the last part of a series the 'best entry point' to said series...

I would love to dive in to my Mass Effect 2 complaint jar, but this man just did it all for me.


OT: Multiplayer in single player heavy games never works well, one day we will all learn this.
