Oh damn, I just realized that mass effect 3 could turn out like Dragon age 2. Still a good game but so many corners were cut.

no need to cancel pre orders, if the multiplayer turns out to be sucky just don't play it. as long as the singer player is no less awesome for it.

Hopefully its like Uncharted 2 where the MP didn't make the single player any less awesome!

If not, then Fuck You EA!

I don't care at all about multiplayer. Like all games with it that I buy, I'll likely put about 20 minutes into and never play it again. ME3 could always prove to be that exception for me, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I just hope the single player campaign doesn't feel cut short because of the focus on mutliplayer.

Neutral until I've tried it. But would prefer a huge final battle with all teammates instead... And really getting a final battle not push a button and win (like Deus Ex more or less was)...

I just hope (and believe) they don't put so much effort in to the MP that the SP suffers... But as long it won't be necessary to go MP to get the "full" Mass Effect experience then fine I wont mind a useless MP...

I wouldn't mind it as a sort of thing that HL did: A different story done in Co-Op. A co-op story focusing on different characters than Shepard and his crew and such like that would be somewhat fun and interesting. If it is competitive multiplayer however, I see the servers being dead within the opening month.

Allow me to save everyone time and effort by pre-emtively summing up the rest of this thread right here:
- "Noooooooo! Why?!"
- "Eh, no big deal. I'm just in it for the single player."
- "EA, please remove your dick from Mass Effect."
- "Hey, maybe it'll be okay. There's no telling until we get to try it."
- "Fuck you! I'm not buying it now!"
- "Multiplayer is ruining the games industry!"
- "Well shit, this is going to remove resources from the single player."
- "Uh, game development doesn't quite work like that."
- "Yes it does."
- "No it doesn't."
- "Bioware sucks now and has totally sold out and started giving blowjobs on street corners."
- "This actually sounds potentially fun."
- "It's DA2 all over again! Another abortion of a game coming up!"
- "Hey, extra feature. Score!"
- "I didn't care anyway, ME2 already ruined the series forever."
- "Call of Duty sucks!"
- "It's all Obama's fault!"
that right there, is the entire thread. I do believe you missed out "Activision are money grabbing, and so are EA!!!!"

Yup, that should about cover it.

Oh well, least it's actually confirmed now.

My personal opinion? Unconcerned. Whining about the addition of multiplayer to Mass Effect would be like a Gears of War fan getting pissed off about having 'Beast Mode' in Gears 3. "Oh no, extra features! My world is ending!"
Give this man a goddam medal.

Can we just take that and make it into a poll? It'd save a lot of time.

Personally, I don't care. As long as the main aspect of the game is good, I'll be happy.

However, I see no reason why Mass Effect multiplayer can't be good. It could be quite fun and enjoyable and may even extend the enjoyment a lot of people get in the game. It could also be tacked on and pointless. We'll know when we get the game. But for perspective, Uncharted 2 had a pretty decent multiplayer mode.

Well, it worked really well in Dead Space 2 and added loads of replayability and was really profitable an inclusion, so I can see why they'd do it in Mass Effect 3 as well...

I'm hoping that it won't be CoD or BF multiplayer, but rather the kind of multiplayer Bioware has added in the past. If so, this could be good. If it's just a slaughterfish arena battle thingy, I probably won't bother with MP :p

I am willing to bet that the single player mode will be 4 hours long and the multi player will be like gears of fucking war [1,2,3]. I can't wait until they announce downloadable map packs!

The squad based gameplay revolving around teamwork using different classes is a huge premise for coop.

If it's competitive, that's cool. I'm sure there will be plenty of people that would love to play it, but I'd love to have some coop campaigns for myself.

I don't see how the introduction of this means an automatic fuck up/failure for the rest of the game development. It's not like other series haven't introduced multiplayer into their originally single player games, and turned out to be a great success. It's possible to make it work. But I'll hold my breath until I see exactly what kind of MP we're talking about.... If any MP at all.

The point of MP in ME3 would be what?
To sell more copies? The common attitude is that multiplayer "adds replay value" and makes a game more "fun."

I suppose it's kind of moot. They lost me at 2, so I don't really care if there's MP or not.
