I agree, I love the wave defense thing in most games but here it really isn't fitting. Can't wait to try it though, see how it plays, want to at least give it that chance.
But if they do make some DLC for it...
I want to be a Quarian!!!! |

| Perhaps you people at x360a can relay all of the messages from these boards of your articles to Bioware and save them the time and money. True fans of this series are not interested in MP. I agree with #3, story based DLC is what we want. Leave the MP shit (and co-op for that matter) to Gears, COD, etc. |

| The same was said about Assasins Creed having MP, but that turned out to be a great addition to the series. I love a good story based game and Mass Effect is ceratinly one of the best games i've played. I'm sure 3 will be just as good a single player experiece as 1 and 2 and i'm happy to give the MP a chance before I make any harsh comments. But in all honesty I have faith in Bioware and i'm sure they will deliver. |

They should have just finished the trilogy the way it was...a strong single player story driven RPG (fine, with 2 it was more of a shooter with RPG elements but still a great game).
They had said they wanted to expand on the universe after the trilogy...throw the MP/Co-op stuff in that. Why waste DLC on co-op/mp for this game? Keep the story solid and continue to support the story. What's next? Team deathmatch in Dragon Age 3??? |

I agree with 3 and 6 that I'd love to see more single player DLC as opposed to multiplayer DLC, but for them I ask this:
If Mass Effect 3 is supposed to be the final story for Shepard, what can you really expect to see in terms of DLC? I mean, I guess if they do amazing in sales (which I assume they will, it is Mass Effect after all) then they could do something that might set up for another installment. |

The only DLC I wan't for Mass Effect 3 is single player DLC. THAT IS ALL!
If for whatever reason, they want some co-op DLC, then let it be story driven co-op DLC, but definitely not "horde mode" DLC, because that is what it is.
When they do decide on single player DLC, I want truck loads. More than Mass Effect 1 & 2 combined. They promised Mass Effect 2 would get tons of DLC, sure it got a few, but definitely not enough. Dragon Age literally got more. |

@17 while it may the last Shepard journey, with the last game they made DLC packs you could play during the story.
They made my insanity play through much more enjoyable.
Now, they're gonna do what they're gonna do which is fine with me even if I don't agree with it/like it. I'm still going to get the game and probably future Mass Effect universe games regardless of MP. Just a bit disappointing to me. |

What single player dlc is there going to be? I mean, the game does END in Mass Effect 3. Once the galaxy is saved (or destroyed), my Shepard is heading to retirement (or his grave). He's had enough missions and sidequests, he doesn't need any more, though I would gladly accept them :P
I still cannot believe the number of people thinking that the mp will affect the single player campaign. IT WILL NOT. The campaign is finished, as designed. This is simply stuff they are ADDING to the game. Nothing is being taken away, and yet people are still bitching about extra content that in no way detracts from the main focus of the game and is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.
It's like complaining because the fries you ordered from McDonalds came with 2 packets of ketchup -_- If you don't want ketchup, don't use it >_> |

| @17, well in ME2 they added mission you could play before or after the ending, even Dragon Age had DLC that, when you played showed the text "this happened before the final battle" if you do it after you already finished the game. So there's some chance for SP DLCs. |

Apparently a lot hated it, but I loved the 2nd DLC for ME where one mission had you try and defend an area, or perhaps just survive, for 5 mins. I thought it was great fun.
However, I'd rather just get a good single player expansion pack if I'm honest. Then again, if this co-op thing is actually good then maybe my opinion will change. |

| If Mass Effect was still punlished by Microsoft, I'd be excited by that news (Halo, Gears), but since it's EA, I'm not holding my breath. EA is THE worst publisher in the world (non sports games) and needs to stay the fuck away from established gaming franchises. I think Bioware would've been 1,000 times better off had they gone to Activision. Say what you want about Call of Duty and what-not, but Activision knows how to publish an RPG like nobody's business (WoW, Diablo). And if ME3's campaign is anything like ME2's, then maybe the multiplayer would be a refreshing change of pace from the boring "5 minutes of gameplay, 10 minutes of cutscenes" formula. |

Now they are giving the finger to the loyalist of fans by adding the one thing we don't want. And why? Because EA are a bunch of money grabbing bastards, that's why. |

Well, it's good to see that nothing surprising comes from Bioware anymore.
We're almost nearing the end of a generation, but instead of evolving as the company they used to be, they're degenerating into an average company.
I used to always be on the lookout for what Bioware does, but i've been less and less interested lately. It has been truly sadenning to notice what has happened to them.
I'm still getting ME3 to finish off the trilogy, but with a dissapointed face due to their decisions. I will probably get my RPG fix from Witcher 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur next year though.

In other words, they're releasing it regardless, as they'd have wasted time and money creating it. I highly doubt they've not started programming it.
Mind, BioWare aren't exactly great at single-player DLC, so god alone knows what they'd punt out for MP. |

In fact, if you would do the same with the whole co-op mode, that would be fantastic.

| This has EA written all over it. This MP mode is only being put in the game so that they have an excuse to sell you an online pass for $10. It would be much better to actually put in co-op missions or even have drop in/drop out co-op for the main story instead of a poor-man's horde mode. Oh how I long for the pre-EA Bioware days... |

| Actually I say yes, let them make more co-op DLC. That way we can all safely ignore it. The only truly great DLC any Mass Effect game has seen so far is Lair of the Shadow Broker. Everything else has sucked, especially Pinnacle Station and Arrival. I say we let them make the crappy DLC for the co-op mode instead of single player and then we can all safely avoid wasting our MSP on more crappy Bioware DLC. |

| Probably comes back to sales, as it always does. When it's campaign only, most people will say, "I'll just buy it used" or "I'll just rent it". But with multiplayer games, people want to get in on the action the same time as everyone else, so they're more inclined to buy it new = more revenue for the devs. Always come back to the cash money. |

@ 50
We aren't downing the developer or not supporting them. We all love Mass Effect and don't support the introduction of competitive multiplayer into a game that was made to be and is a stellar single player experience.
Games that just add in multiplayer for the sake of adding it only take away from the core content. The stories, characters, gameplay, and etc. all start to suffer as result of developers following a trend.
Multiplayer is and can be quite enjoyable, but it's just not meant to be in every game that comes out.

Do you know the line between appropriate and inappropriate content for certain games? Alienating the majority of the Mass Effect followers is a no-no.
This is a poor excuse to include the online pass, and i'm sure you love to rent or buy used games. If they really wanted Multiplayer, then they should've made an entirely different game for it. I'm sure they would see some interesting sales numbers for an MP focused game. |

There is so much bitching here that it's un-friggin-believeable.
You don't want or like multiplayer? Fine, DON'T PLAY THE DAMN MULTIPLAYER. It being there and you not touching it won't be the end of the goddamn world.
In any event, I don't care. I trust Bioware to make a great game, reguardless of what is included in the game. I'm optimistic about the whole thing, and I'm actually looking forward to trying this Co-Op with other friends that enjoy Mass Effect. If I had one complain...it's that quarians arn't an available race for the Co-Op, thats it.
and @#24
Activision doesn't know how to make a damn thing. I've played better published games from EA than Activision....Not to mention Activision didn't make World of Warcraft or Diablo, nor publish them....those were both made by Blizzard...which merged with Activision to form Activision Blizzard. I'm of the firm belief that if you think Blizz was gonna let Acti screw with their babies, you're out of your fucking mind.
In fact, after looking it up to double check myself, Acti had no hand in publishing Starcraft 2, which came out AFTER the merger. The development studio AND producer are both Blizzard Entertainment.
Take this knowledge and incorperate it into your preconceptions as to how great Activision is for "making" such great games that you enjoy. When you wanna talk about how great a company is for its creations, make sure the company made the damn game first before you praise them for work that isn't theirs. |

"The Co-op multiplayer won't effect the single player" but you can bet your sweet ass it will effect(pun not intened) the achievements!! And I'm guessing everyone who is on this site likes getting achievements, won't like to get them on co-op if Webb's preview is to go by.
The co-op will need a massive overall or it will be garbage, either way, your gonna play it to get achievements.
But still don't think it will take it away from single player, which I think will finish an epic game from start to finish.

| @ 61 No way could I have said that any better. I love the sound of popping achievements, but I won't play something I don't enjoy just for that sound. I'll give the co-op a shot, but if I don't like it I won't play it. They've already said it won't affect the "optimal ending" anyway. As far as the rest of this game goes, nothing anyone writes about it is going to stop me from being there for the midnight release. |

lol, this community is so awesome.
Developer A (with game gold and shipped): "Our game is set to release on
time and we already have 3 DLCs planned."
Community: "WHAAAAT?!? Just give us everything on the disk, dammit!"
Developer B (with game not yet released): "We're going to listen to our fans and wait for their feedback on if we'll release DLC or not."
Community: "WHAAAAT?!? We don't want DLC for something we keep blasting even though we haven't tried it yet." |

I love how everyone on here is saying people are "ignorant" for not wanting/liking Co-Op multiplayer in a game that was BUILT upon it's intimate single player experience.
If you take a stroll around the internet, you'll find Dan's hands-on isn't the ONLY negative impression of this useless, tacked on, and shoehorned in mode. EVERY major game site/reviewer that's played it has reported something similar, unless some major magic overhaul is done (which it won't) this will be a dud that will taint one of the greatest series of this generation.
And since this is an ACHIEVEMENT based site and not the official BioWare forums, it's a safe and reasononable bet the Co-Op mode having achievements (which it will, along with Kinect achievements) WILL affect people playing this game. And rightfully so, as consumers all we can do it vote with our wallets we don't want worthless multiplayer and peripherial based stuff crammed into pre-established series. |

| If there are achievements attached to it then I will be pissed off but even if the co-op is mediocre I bet EA will force them to make DLC packs with achievements attached to them. |

| God, I feel sorry for Bioware at the moment. They clearly want this to work and yet every indication so far is that it's going to be hated by most of the fan base. Still, the fact that they are waiting for the fans reaction before starting to work on DLC for co-op shows one thing: they are aware it might fail. |

@82 very good point. Either way, I don't care if every achievement is co-op. Yes I wnt to get all the cheevo's I can in this game, but I just want to complete the story which for me has been nothing but epic, which I think will have an epic ending.
Either way This Game. Bioware. Was my first real experience of RPG. The only other game that I have been more intrigued is halo. So thanks Bioware, and long may the Mass Effect series continue. Or Ass Effect, as my good gayboy of a mate (Treadstone82) calls it. |

@82
It sort of seems that way, but on the other hand BioWare was BUILT upon listening to their fans and giving them what they want. At no point did any sane fan who played Mass Effect 1 ask for the series to become a dodgy cover based shooter with almost no RPG elements whatsoever or beg for a four player Horde Mode or wonder why the hell there was no voice command gameplay.
Ever since they joined the EA umbrella, they've been slowly (or fastly, depending on how you want to look at it) declining in quality. It's only a matter of time before they go the way of Origin or Pandemic or Maxis. And THAT will be one of the saddest days in video game history. |

| Man, what a bunch of Debby Downers. I wish they'd add multiplayer to Fallout and Dragon Age, too. All games should have some form of multi-player component. Honestly, if you don't like it, don't play it. Not sure how it being included effects the people who enjoy single-player in any way. O_o |

The idea of Co-op in the Mass Effect universe is not a bad one. To be honest, I find it rather interesting. However, the strength of Mass Effect is story and being Paragon or Renegade - all parts that are not included in the co-op mode. What is left is just a bunch of shooting in the ME setting. I'm sure it could be fun for a while, but it's not what ME is about.
Co-op should be done as a separate story, a "somewhere else in the galaxy", a bit like how it was done in SC: Conviction, a separate story that added some background to the single player campaign - but if you never play it, all you lose out on is a bit of background events. *Spoiler* Two agents stole some stuff and they were killed. *End spoiler*
Co-op should have a story, some fun characters and choices. Not be a "GoW3 does this 50 times better"-type of experience that omits most of why we play the series from the start: Story, characters and choices. Bringing "Pinnacle Station 2" feels like a swing in the air compared to the competition on the market, like the previously mentioned Gears of War 3's Horde 2.0 mode. |

Bioshock 2 multiplayer = dead
Dead Space 2 multiplayer = dead
Previously single player games adding multiplayer in the sequel = pointless. |

Doesn't matter. They will make MP dlc just so they can tack on 2 achievements worth 50 points to fuck up people like us who got all of them for Mass Effect 1 and 2.
This game has no use for MP, make a MMorpg or another RPG later. What if I demanded all these huge MP games had storys longer than 3 hours? They'd go mad. |

| I agree with #1 entirely. It started kind of appealing. A small multiplayer mode on the side that they were trying to make a fun little distraction. Now they're contemplating DLC... I mean, we may all be jumping the gun here and it might be one of the best multiplayer experiences of 2012... Pfft. But the point is, it should be a solid little part of the game, and I don't think, even if it's great, it should be expanded upon. But honestly dim the second multiplayer became final for ME3, I figured there'd be DLC for it. |

| Well, we all know that the Mass Effect series is based on the protaganist of Shepard and the game has been purely story based. Yes, there are those who wish to keep it that way, but the game will not come with multiplayer attached. Bioware have said it will be dlc. Which does mean, if you don't want to play it, you don't have too if it does get the go ahead. No one will force you. The way I see it is, this would create more revenue for Bioware, to continue making amazing games. |

To those who don't like multiplayer on single-player games:
Quit your damn whining, already! If you don't like it, just ignore it. Just because you hate it, it doesn't mean everyone else does. No one likes a crybaby. Just take your complaints and shove them up your asses! |

| I notice how many people are saying "WE" don't want/need multiplayer, correction, YOU don't want it because you don't realise that developers like to think of other people than you, My friends and I would love ME multiplayer, and what's this about needing it? there are millions of things that games have and don't need, technically, no games Needs multiplayer, they can stand on the single player alone, but some people like social interaction, and so it gets included. They have said time and time again that you don't need to play it and you act as if it's very existance will damn all of humanity to the infernal fires of hell, to put it simply, don't assume that you represent the entire gaming world's view on ME multiplay, and if you don't like it don't play it, I'm sure you have much better uses of your time than whining about something that if you ignore it will have no effect on you whatsoever. |

| I seriously hope that if there is dlc for what is more than likely to be a shitty mode it wont take away from the story driven dlc. Also to the people telling people to stop whining its the internet we can whine and complain about whatever we damn well please and its kinda retarded that your whining about other people whining. |

Winge, winge, winge I don't think this will hamper your single campaign.
It could actually be fun to mess around with friends etc when you want a break from single play.
I can't see Bioware taking the gamble to ruin everything of the single campaign. I bet it will be constantly seperate.
Peeps need to embrace change sheesh. |

The only reason for 'hating' a MP Mass Effect is the possibility of MP achievements - and any subsequent DLC MP achievements. I really would be surprised if Bioware let the story of the single player campaign 'slip' after how awesome it's been so far (they did use 2 discs for ME2 - maybe ME3 will be 3 discs?).
Cautiously trying to remain open-minded to the co-op (which is better than deathmatch, etc) but being hopeful that there are no MP achievements. |

Why is it that every time I sign on to read these new updates from mass effect 3, I get all excited about it and then I read tons of messages disparaging it?! I love mass effect in all forms, I have played both games to the point I can say quotes word for word to practically the whole of both games and what people don't seem to grasp is that the MP is optional!!! You don't have to play it if you don't want to and there are people out there who want to give it a go and see how they've managed to do it so QUIT DISPARAGING IT! All I see are moans from people, why not just enjoy the bloody game and THEN make decisions about it! I for one am excited for multi-player because then I can share the experience of the game I love with my friends. The only people giving this game a bad review so far are the ones not willing to give it a chance and THAT is what is ruining it so far.
....Rant over. |
