HoonDing Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Gaider did not write the male/male romances in DA:II. Didn't Gaider write Zevran? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Volourn Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 "Volo, we both know that this isn't going to be like BG2 or NWN" You don't known what i know so stop trolling by pretending to think you know what I know. It's MP cna't be any 'worse' than BG2's which was just a tack on that added nothing or took away anything from the campaign. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Volourn Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Should also be pointed out that BIO EDM isn't actually doing the MP. Another division is. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Orogun01 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Should also be pointed out that BIO EDM isn't actually doing the MP. Another division is. And this division of labor makes the prospect better how? 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.
Zoraptor Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 It means it shouldn't (yeah, theoretically) detract from the SP experience even if it sucks?
Orogun01 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) It means it shouldn't (yeah, theoretically) detract from the SP experience even if it sucks? I don't think that compartmentalization, works that way for video games. That kind of stuff is good for DLC because the other team has a finish product to go from but working alongside with no oversight of both team or with a large degree of separation is bound to give you noticeable different result. In short; MP is going to be wildly detached from SP.

That kind of stuff is good for DLC because the other team has a finish product to go from but working alongside with no oversight of both team or with a large degree of separation is bound to give you noticeable different result. In short; MP is going to be wildly detached from SP. If it's still running on the Unreal 3 engine, wouldn't it already have some MP code thrown into the bargain so to speak? The work then being in the design, fleshing out the game mechanics etc. to take it into account. Wouldn't make much sense trying to add it as an afterthought, as it would likely feel like an artificial, bolted on thing (like minigames and QTE's). “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Zoraptor Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 In short; MP is going to be wildly detached from SP. It may well be so. If that's the case it should not detract from SP though, the more separate they are the less effect they should have. And as Gorth notes, UE3 is fundamentally MP friendly out of the box. I'm not particularly expecting large amounts of awesome from the MP in any case, just that it won't really effect the awesomeness (or not) of the SP experience. At this point it's probably a combo DLC purchasing driver and further encouragement to tie copies to Origin accounts as much as anything.

Meh, I think their producers are competent enough to run an MP team on the side, and a lot of them probably saw work on Arrival anyway. While it wasn't exactly a five star Mass Effect Experience, it was still technically competent. Also, echo what Zoraptor said (which is why I quoted him) :D Edited October 14, 2011 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
meomao Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I believe that MP is just a feature added on request of EA to make some dollars out of the second hand market (online pass, project ten dollar and so on). I believe that it won't affect the game and that the "galaxy readiness" thing was created just to blend the viral marketing on the web with the main game. They should have called it ME2 readiness.. Imho, if you buy the game and does not care for anything but SP, you will have the complete experience without any kind of problem. Edited October 14, 2011 by meomao

Imho, if you buy the game and does not care for anything but SP, you will have the complete experience without any kind of problem. Is there even going to be a second hand market to this game, or is it going to be one of those DRM things where you only get one copy per machine and then it's just a table protector for your cup? At least for PC. I guess you could be right in regards to consoles.
meomao Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) At least for PC. I guess you could be right in regards to consoles. I do agree but ME is a consolle title: at least, it sells mostly on consolle and it's developed with the consolles in mind. ME2's PC sales were very low AFAIK. Maybe on PC they see the MP as anti-piracy measure. Edited October 16, 2011 by meomao
Jaesun Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 ME2's PC sales were very low AFAIK. I do not remember EA/BioWare ever mentioning exact sales numbers for ME2, or a mention of disappointment in sales. Or if NDP released some sales numbers. So that basically remains an unknown.

Agreed, there's no data that says ME2's PC sales were exceptional in any way. I'd still be hella surprised if they were more than symbolic in comparison to the x360+ps3 sales.
