Malcador Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Wild guess time... Sheppard is going to find the "Creators" who build the Reapers and ask them nicely for the shutdown sequence code? He will BRING SAJUUK TO BEAR Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Purkake Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Would be nice to see them actually do something with the Shepard character, other than a heroic sacrifice, epilogue style. Way too many game either take the easy way out or just leave the PC's fate open/unresolved.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Nepenthe Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 "I don't get to do this often, but Volourn is pretty much right. The Bioware doctors were, post acquisition, moved to key positions within EA. It's safe to say that on some levels, EA became a part of Bioware, instead of the other way around." Not exactly what I claimed but , anyways... I know, I took what you said and expanded on it. Wild guess time... Sheppard is going to find the "Creators" who build the Reapers and ask them nicely for the shutdown sequence code? LotSB spoiler: The Protheans and their tech are definitely going to be involved. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Nepenthe Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 I hope the creators are space monkeys. That would make ME the Fight Club of gaming. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Labadal Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 I think we all know the true evil is the hamster in Shepards room. I didn't like how it looked at him.
Morgoth Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Mass Effect 3 to be a singleplayer only game. I know bio still has a MP related title in development. Possible reveil at E3 2011? Rain makes everything better.
WorstUsernameEver Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) That's jumping the gun. That moderator is not a Bioware employee and actually Chris Priestly replied to him on Facebook: People have put a lot of trust in what a non-employee said about the game. EDIT: Talking about GameStar not Morgoth. Edited December 16, 2010 by WorstUsernameEver

Purkake Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I don't see why anyone would care. No one's forcing you to play the hypothetical multi-player part.
Slowtrain Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I don't see why anyone would care. No one's forcing you to play the hypothetical multi-player part. I think the idea would be that splitting out dev time on multi-player lessens time spent on the single player game. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 They usually hire another studio for multiplayer on games like this. I know Bioshock 2 did, for example. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
alanschu Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I don't know the full details of the ME3 project, but I believe Montreal is helping out the Edmonton studio.
Malcador Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I don't see why anyone would care. No one's forcing you to play the hypothetical multi-player part. Eh, it might end up like DX's multiplayer. A tragedy like that must not occur. Course it might not, but the idea is still sucky. Why has elegance found so little following?

Bendu Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Well, ME3 MP could be as good as GoW, or as average as Bioshock 2 MP...
Slowtrain Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Spork syndrome is always a concern when games try to do to many things. Personally, I would give some kudos to BW for not falling into the "every game must have mp" mindset Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

sorophx Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Well, ME3 MP could be as good as GoW not a chance Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Nepenthe Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 They usually hire another studio for multiplayer on games like this. I know Bioshock 2 did, for example. As did MoH - they even used a different engine for the MP part. It's classic "I have no idea how game development or budgeting works*, but I still have a strong opiniong about it" thinking. Hell, generally the less people know about anything, the stronger their opinions are - why should gaming be different. *hint, bigger projected sales through adding multiplayer enable hiring people to do just that. People who might actually be specialised in that sort of stuff, as opposed to doing SP (action) RPGs. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Wasn't DX's MP patched in at a very late state and then developed by the community?
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I don't know the full details of the ME3 project, but I believe Montreal is helping out the Edmonton studio. I didn't even know Bioware had a studio here in Montr "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

Niten_Ryu Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Wasn't DX's MP patched in at a very late state and then developed by the community? It was offical patch. Warren Spector said that it was a huge mistake to develop multiplayer at all. Took a lot of resources and none played it. No wonder as 10 years ago multiplayer was still relatively small niche. Everyone just played Quakeworld, Quake 3, CS, TFC, Starcraft, Warcraft 2 or UT99 and didn't really jump from game to game like nowadays.
