Worst kept secret, AKA ME3 MP confirmed!

*remembers ME2 combat*

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW.

All the developer effort that went into whatever tacked on multi-player they add should have gone to create more content to the single player.

But isntead we get some throw-away multi-player, and pieces of the single player chopped off to be sold to us as DLC.

Will it work like Assassins Creed and Bioshock or will it fail and just feel tacked on like Dead Space?

As long as the SP is solid I have no problems with this.

I wouldn't want to jump to conclusions thinking that it would be bad. I did that with Uncharted 2, but that turned out surprisingly good.

At the same time, ME has lousy combat compared to, well, anything really.

I'm not going to be a moron and judge the feature before playing it myself.vashkey

As long trophies/achivments arent attached to it im fine. I proboly play once or twice with my friend,but besides that ill leave it alone. I did the same thing with dead space 2.

These days all the games include multiplayer, nothing new and all is left is for Final Fantasy to have multiplayer. Online pass confirmed also

Depends what the MP consists of. Some standalone story based co-op missions with different characters could serve to deepen the plot and universe further, that would probably work, if they do it right very well in fact. PvP? Eh, I'll pass, I'll stick to the SP. I'm just waiting for some actual footage or at least conformation that it exists, let alone playing it, before I make any rash judgements.

EDIT: Ooh, would you look at that, a Twitter comment from Casey Hudson:

"Yes, co-op MP missions for [Mass Effect 3]: they're real, and they're spectacular. Rest assured it's nothing of what you've feared. More soon…"

ME3? Lol what's that :lol:

what a depressing day this is, everytime i hear bioware talk about me3 i get less and less hyped for it, it may end up like dragon age 2, and that is something which no one wants

*sighs* well ME3 just became horrible.

Meh...Not gonna judge it yet.

maybe it will be good (when others are willing to play as well), but this means there is no excuse if ME3's story has any cut corners or plot holes.

If it's anymore than co-op I'll just skip ME3 and check out the ME wiki to see how the story ends.Moriarity_

So because it has multiplayer you'll skip out entirely? Obviously you're not even an ME fan so why do you care about the story?

I really need to stop coming on this website. The amount of stupidity makes me want to just kill myself..

I have several things to say about this.

1. Its co-op. Considering Mass Effect was already a party based game to begin with I doubt adding co-op multiplayer will be too much of an issue.
2. Look at Baldur's Gate 1+2. Both had co-op MP, yet BG2 is considered the best Bioware game ever made.
3. So far, I dont see any way having co-op will detract from the overall experience. I am not saying it wont detract, but lets not judge until the game comes out.

It may be a waste of resources, it may not be.

As much as I don't like the idea of MP, EA ultimately has the ultimate say on what Bioware does. EA funds the project and Bioware essentially has to follow what EA says. If they refuse to things they would be breaking the contract with EA (EA owns them, so they are pretty bound to it). Now Bioware can argue with EA kind of expressing their opinion, but it's still up to EA to make the ultimate decisions. EA really wants to slap mp on everything when it's clearly not needed. Ultimately I hope EA wises up and will realize that half-baked mp slap on's are not needed for future games. Dragon Age 3 better not have any mp attached to it!
