Did no one watch the video? You can still get a 100% ending only using the single player. It's OPTIONAL, and not required. If you don't like it then you don't have to use it.
Haters gonna hate I guess.
This could be an amazing add on to an already great franchise. Bioware is not perfect, but please don't dismiss multiplayer at face value. MA is not becoming Call of Duty. Please wait and think before attacking them. Don't you think they have at least earned a little of our trust over the years?
You guys are all fucking morons for disliking this so much. What the fuck is wrong with the multiplayer? Seriously. Name anything. They've already confirmed that you can get a perfect ending without playing co-op in the first place, co-op just HELPS, it fits into YOUR Shepard's canon, it benefits YOUR Shepard, there are no fucking problems with it. Just because YOU don't want to play co-op doesn't make this a bad idea.
Why does this video have so many dislikes? Mass Effect getting a multiplayer is nothing bad. To those who are complaining that it would ruin the single player experience are idiots, Bioware isn't forcing you to play the multiplayer. You could still get the S ending without the multiplayer, multiplayer just makes it easier to get it. As an avid ME fan myself, I'm really excited to see how the multiplayer plays out.

I bet it's not just to deter pirates, I bet they're also going to have it so only the first buyer can play multiplayer without paying to attack used game sales.
Do not know why people bash DA2 so damn much. I really enjoyed it. I've played ME, ME2 (3 times each), DA, DAO, the KOTOR games (3 times each) etc and I don't see why DA2 must be considered bad just because it's not AS good as the other games they've released. Haters be hatin'.
so many butthurt fans based on the dislikes. pretty simple guys, don't like the idea, don't buy the game. then bioware will see the sales figures and learn from it. but most likely you will whine and bitch but end up buying this. prove me wrong and don't buy the game and let your voices be heard.
Are u guys so lonely that u have no one to play multiplayer with? If u dont like multiplayer, than do single player. Problem solved. I'm gonna enjoy multiplayer
I wouldn't have mind if it didn't effect single player...that pisses me off. Mass Effect series was all about that single player experience. Adding multiplayer devalues the game series.
Ok, DAII was a dud yes but for crying out loud they made DA:O, KOTOR, ME I AND II and Neverwinter Nights. Stop complaining for pite sake and enjoy MEIII
@GodLike66669 True true, altough Mass Effect is more of a COCK-therapy-sim then a date-sim, since our hero Shepard solves every problem his partner (male, female & whatnot) have with his mighty and trusted penis (If Shepard is a male that is.. or a tranny).
@RobbyTheSheef He's not wrong though. DA2 was nowhere near as good as Dragon Age. It wasn't horrible, but Bioware has a bad habit of making things "better" and "streamlined" but just yanking those features in the first place. Same rings true with Mass Effect and ME2. I'm really, really hoping this isn't the case with ME3.
@TheRipePunani If it wasn't a sequel the game would have been considered amazing. Personally I enjoyed it more than DA:O. It flowed better and the characters were more interesting. The skill trees worked better, too. Lockpicking was no longer a skill on its own so putting points in it didn't feel like a waste as far as combat. Spells were more varied and worked better together as well. People act like it was a crappy game, but it was awesome.
@RobbyTheSheef Good points. DA2 definitely was not a crappy game, but it kinda lacked the substance that DA had IMO. Just me though, I'm sure other people found it just as awesome as DA.
@RobbyTheSheef Maybe the fact that there were a grand total of 3 maps, used over and over again. No armor/weapon customization for allies. The plot was spread so thin that it felt like you were just playing a few segments of shortstories rather than one cohesive narrative. Oh flee ferelden. Work as slaves. Make money. Deep roads. Suddenly, Qunari. Anders and the chantry. There's no epic narrative story telling aspect that we've come to expect from Bioware. Also the gameplay was really simplified
@ClockwiseWitness So that makes it a horrible game? Maybe it had flaws and things you didn't like, but "horrible" is a strong word. It was still pretty damn fun.
@RobbyTheSheef I actually ran out of character space. Here, let me continue. Who were you in DA2? You were hawke. In DA:O there were so many choices you could make on your identity. Dalish warrior, elf slave, Human noble, etc. In 2 you are hawke. you have no say in how you came be in the intro, you are just hawke. instead of combat being satisfying, it was just oh hey, here's 4 more waves of dudes to mow through. Also,DAO ended with huge satisfaction where 2 ends with you just going, Is that it?
@ClockwiseWitness Still doesn't really make it a horrible game. Honestly I was disappointed that I could only play a human at first, but when I realized that it allowed the developers to do more with the story I was fine with it. Your family stays with you the whole game long. Having races would have made that a bit more difficult. It could have been better, but it was far from horrible. Had it not been a sequel, you probably would have said "That was a pretty decent game" instead.
@InfectedBeats I actually enjoyed Dragon Age 2, believe it or not. I guess I'm just a sucker for well written characters. Besides, the team working on Mass Effect is a different one relative to Dragon Age. The explanation that Casey gives for these Co-op missions left me impressed. I'm greatly looking forward to being able to play as an Asari or Turian soldier, giving us a real look at the actual war that's going on while Shepherd is leading his small team.
@Swizzler121 It's an alternative. He said it but i guess you were raging so hard to listen. You can still get the best ending only with single player.
@LeftyFlip1 Yeah, its a form of DRM. The multiplayer they mentioned literally adds nothing to the value of the game. It's an RPG, not a MMORPG, there's really no need for MP. What the "feature" adds isn't relevant at all, you can do all of that by yourself with your party. They added this so people who pirate won't be able to experience the full game. I'm not saying pirating is right, but DRM is getting out of hand.
@pyistazty Ok, even if this was the reason why Bioware added multiplayer, why the hell would they make a game that panders to people who are going to pirate it? I'm not judging people who pirate video games, just this post, and the fact that its one of the top rated makes no sense to me. I guess people are just set on hating Bioware.
@mmclenna They don't have to. But that's the reason this multiplayer is in the game. To deter pirates. That's the only point I was making. But, companies methods to deter pirates, I.E. DRM, is turning off a lot of people who actually buy the game. Have you tried to play any recent Ubisoft games that you bought when their servers are down? Guess what, you can't. Same with some EA, THQ, and Activision games. Crackers actually made more playable games than devs because of DRM.
@pyistazty I still disagree, but I think you misunderstand me. I'm saying that multiplayer is not DRM, that makes no sense. Would you say multiplayer for CoD or Battlefield is DRM? No.
@YourMotherx900and26 you know that button that says 'play multiplayer' used a whole team to make? that team could have made the single player even better but NOOOOOOOOO they chose to make a shitty online that will be useless and unplayable in 1-2 years time.
