Current Events > You want Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer? Buy the game and demand it

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have never played the games so I have no dog in the race. I just figured I would do a PSA to those who are passionate about it since its confirmed they will do it if there is enough interest

Legit put more hours into me3mp than the single player

---

wasn't the multiplayer in that game just a very basic co-op horde mode tho

I'll buy it when it's added.

Yes, but it managed to be ludicrously fun and surprised most people with how good it was.

---

I see they're taking lessons from the Capcom book of "how to fuck up gauging customer interest"

---

Couldn't care less about it. I played the bare minimum required to get the "good" ending and never touched it again.
That said, I'm not buying the trilogy to begin with.

do you want this thing that isnt in the game, just buy the game that it isnt in!

Just letting you know what they pretty much said. Do what you want.

---

ME3's multiplayer mode was the one in a million case of adding a feature literally nobody wanted to a series that by definition was single player, and it somehow actually worked.

So basically, not Metroid Prime 2

Co-OP multi > competitive shit fueled let's exploit the engine multi

---

Lol i was going to buy this just for the me3 multiplayer... guess I'm not buying it now

---

yeah Im not falling for that shit

Sounded like a scam to me too. Playing on peoples heart strings to drive more sales

It was amazing and way better than any horde mode I've ever played

---

Yeah theyve basically said that if sales go well, theyll add in multiplayer

---

Nah. That's not how this works. I'm not buying something and hoping what I want gets added later.

They can add the feature first, and then I'd buy it.

Same.

Uh, thats exactly how this works lol. Why would they spend time on a side-project not knowing whether or not the main game will even be successful?

Most people bought ME for the story not multiplayer

---

I'm getting it because I've never played it, but I've never cared about multiplayer in anything, so it's fine with me.

---

That's a bad sales pitch

It was a very good and entertaining co-op mode though. And I expected it to be the typical tacked-on EA garbage

dude buy the game and maaaaayyyybeeeee if it sells well will actually finish it

Its already finished though. Mulitplayer is a completely different concept from the main game, and only connected via a score system, which has been changed in the LE

So, youre just wrong lol

Because the "main game" is just remastered versions of games that came out years ago and intentionally leaving features out to force sales tends to leave a bad taste in people's mouths.

---

Also it did pay out, they already topped RE Village as top seller on Steam lol

---

I got it because ME1 required fixing and this delivered. Never played ME3 online tbqh.

Apparently not bad enough to negatively affect sales

maybe the multiplayer just wasnt that popular to begin with (which it honestly never was, it was very niche)

Popularity is irrelevant.

If we're going to get on Activision for releasing Modern Warfare Remastered without its campaign, then we need to get on EA for doing this

---

Seems like a case of them underestimating the interest level for it initially. But gamers are fickle af, there's a good chance this gets added and then no one plays it

---

Removing something that was in the game already and holding it ransom until they get enough copies sold.

Brilliant.

The huge difference here is that MW is a 6 hour campaign. Even at budget price, that's short. Mass Effect includes 3 huge campaigns and nearly all DLC released across all 3.

Two entirely different scenarios.

COD has been made popular through both its story and its MP

ME was made popular through its story alone.

Plus I'm pretty sure the multiplayer mode unlocked a secret ending for story mode so I'm not sure how that plays out

They adjusted it so everything can be done in single player.

ArianaGrandSlam posted...

no it didnt

no it didnt

Uh yeah it did and yes it has. I dunno what you've played but ME1 was janky as shit and this version brings it way more in line with 2 and 3 in terms of how the game plays. AI is actually mediocre instead of completely brain dead, and guns actually feel good to shoot. The cover system is way more responsive as well. So what are you talking about?

I'm not like the multiplayer mode requires much since it's 95% reused assets from single-player.

---

If they bring it back I hope they ditch the stupid random unlocks. I remember putting so much time into trying to get specific characters only to keep getting shit I didn't want or already had

Not for any reasonable person. I buy products that have features I want. I'm not buying something on the vague hope it'll get it in the future. Instead of I'll buy a product that offers that feature already.

*Biotic Charge into Nova spam*

Me and a friend of mine used to double vanguard with 2 others. Wear neon colors, do nothing but charge and nova. It would usually clear the map and they'd just get to stand there and chase after us. It's such a toxic way to play lol.
---

I think it would make more sense to release it as a standalone F2P thing now.

It's a good thing it wasn't competitive multiplayer because there was so much cheese

Yeah, there was some broken and ridiculous comps you could do. 4 vanguard teams only had weaknesses against Banshees and Brutes lol.
---

I forget which class it was, but there was a Krogan character who could fully recharge his shields using a biotic charge and I would just solo the fuck out of MP with that guy lol

---

The best allure of the MP was being able to play as these different races. I wish they included an Elcor, but oh well. At least we had the volus.
