Cut dialogue content
Slapped on Multiplayer
Day one DLC

I've gone into detail about this before, present my case eloquently (without insults, yes, without insults) and the only response I'd get is "IM GOING TO BUY IT JUST BECAUSE" = that is the very definition of a fanboy.
The topic creator reaks of fanboy too. Before he/she added their 'reflections'. The topic post could be summed up as "I LOVE MULTIPLAYER THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH" It's nauseating. I want some good reasons not your bioware cult reasons.

I don't see how giving the CE edition an extra character that is basically the equivalent of Zaeed in ME2 is a bad thing. All it does is give another face for the mission, it isn't cutting out a major portion of the game (as you've claimed in the past), it isn't some super important story arch that you can't possibly live without, it's simply something extra to give to the CE because companies can.

Also adding multiplayer isn't always such a terrible thing, I was pleasantly surprised by the games multiplayer. Challenging, exciting, has a bit of an addicting quality to it. Sure I won't play it constantly, but I won't be passing it up because it was added to the game.

As for the cut dialogue, I'll hold out until the full game before I make my decision on that. Seeing as the demo was already it's maximum size allowed, I allow a little bit of room in terms of what might be include, and what might have been cut to give a well rounded demo.

And to be honest, it isn't that fanboyish to want to finish a storyline that is ending. That's stupid and arrogant for you to claim that. People enjoyed the first two games the Bioware released and they want to finish it, so why is that such a terrible thing?
First, lets get this out of the way. When have I ever claimed they are cutting out "major portions" of the game? That's a full out lie. It doesn't matter to me, personally if they are cutting out major or insignificant parts of the game. The budget was paid for with the customers money, any content designed and produced on budget belong to the customer. This is simply a customer issue with me. I do not like companies getting away with screwing others over. Even if it's just a 'little bit'.

Well, I'd say adding multiplayer where not needed is always a terrible thing. That's like adding flames to a Van. A useless addition can only be a useless addition. Even if you pretty it up. I'm unimpressed by the mulitplayer (not surprising) and I've yet to find a valid reason for its inclusion.

All the dialogue options in the game were 2 choices and there was a shitload of auto dialogue too. I don't know about you but that spells trouble to me.

I'm not saying your goal is fanboyish, I'm saying your reaction to any critique is fanboy. When people simply shrug their shoulders at every fault and go "im still getting it". That's fanboyish. I know you want to finish it. So do I. I'm just not going to let every fault slip by because I want to finish the story.

The only 'terrible' thing in this situation is that people are supporting Bioware massacaring the series. The reason these changes bother me so much is because I enjoyed the series so much. I saw great promise in me3 and to see it kind of being shot up the creek it's kinda fucked up.
its only fanboyish when the faults are game breaking and i haven't see any in the demo so who knows whats hiding in the full game

why am I not surprised about the response: OMG TROLL!!!

Put it to rest, wont you. It's such donkey piss. I dismiss any of your 'arguments' because it is so packed to the brim with fanaticism, it's like Bioware has their own special cult of gamers.

When it comes to multiplayer there isn't much else to say other than my opinion. When the other side is just going off about HOW SHINY AND SPECIAL IT IS AND OMG BIOWARE!! Do you guys honestly expect me to take that seriously? You guys are acting like a bunch of Justin Bieber fangirls at his concert. I can't take you seriously when the post is overflowing with bioware buttkiss. This is not a fault of mine, it's a fault of yours.

Finally, I already listed why I dislike the mulitplayer; generic, boring. You have to run around the whole freaking map looking for enemies. What is this? Hide and fucking seek? I thought this was horde mode, it feels like i'm playing peek-a-boo with Cerberus.

Plus dont get me started on crappy origins service. It sucks.
In your very first post here you said that bioware fans opinions dont matter.

As in you said that a people that like a certain thing do not have the right to the same amount of freedom of speech as you.

Logical conclusion = You are a cocksucker.
That is not what I said at all. There's a difference between Bioware Fans and Bioware FANBOYS.
Fanboys are those people over at BSN that defend everything Bioware does. Bioware could unleash a nuclear bomb and aslong as it doesn't hit them, the fanboys will defend it.

Lastly, your second sentence is completely nonsensical. I didn't say "you're a fanboy so don't speak". I said and i'm parphrasing here "you're a fanboy so you shouldn't speak" Huge bloody difference here. One implies freedom of speech is determined by how fanatical you are, the other believes fanboys have nothing of value to share, so thus their opinion should be void.
You are still implying that these fanboys opinion matters less then yours.

You are still trampling on their freedom of speech.

Logical conclusion = you are still a cocksucker.
I don't know how you keep coming to this conclusion. Slow down a second. I don't care IF they use their freedom of speech. I just think they are idiots.

And ofcourse I think my opinion matters more. Do you honestly think I go through life giving every opinion equal footing? Don't be absurd.
You think that your opinion matters more...well if you're using that logic, why should anyone care about anything that you have to say?
Because I can construct a reasonable argument. Not some silly strung together fanboy spazz out. It's not about just "believing" in my opinion. I present a strong case, any 'reasonable' person can accept it or not. They can also challenge it, if they want. Instead of you guys doing any of that, you've fell back to the tired old 'they are a troll' position. I called you guys out on it but instead of changing your tactic, you continue to critique HOW i deliver the argument instead of the ARGUMENT itself. Very fucking stupid in my opinion.

Especially since fanboys hardly, if ever, present a strong case. It's just them spazzing out about DERE FAVURIT G
Buddy, some advice, if you want people to stop calling you a troll, maybe you should, oh I don't know, stop acting like one? Seriously, every time you talk about ME3 you whine like a little kid and swear like an immature teenager, that's why no one cares about what you have to say, it's all about delivery and maybe one day you'll wake up and accept that. Everyone, even Dexter111, who pretty much agrees with all of your points, thinks that you seriously need to calm down, everyone tells you it, and you refuse to believe it. And now, a Penny Arcade strip to highlight the situation.

Holy shit!

Vanguards are fucking insane!

Light load, a shotgun and an SMG so your powers recharge quickly. Biotic Charge, wait a few seconds, Nova, Biotic Charge to recharge your shield, Nova, rinse, repeat.

I fucking love this game's multiplayer, and I was firmly in the 'oh great, tacked on multiplayer' camp.

I'm so glad I was wrong.
Yeah, Vanguards are awesome. At the early waves on bronze you can practically solo the whole wave with good play. My female Vanguard is focusing on Charge and Fitness, with the aoe knockback on charge level 4, so I can charge into a group and just mow them down with my shotgun. Back up to reposition and recharge, and do it again.
They're certainly a high risk, high reward class.

Definately takes skill to use them properly, but if you can keep a rythm going and keep your momentum up, you can wipe out enemies like they're nothing.

I hate Phantoms, they're a pain to kill. But as a Vanguard?

[HEADING=1]Vanguard crush puny phantom![/HEADING]
Pretty much. Especially with a Claymore shotgun. While it makes my charge cooldown way longer, with my upgrades in Fitness for shields I can charge someone and nearly kill them with just that, then mow down every nearby enemy in one shot each. Even as a Vanguard I was always scared of Phantoms since they can dice you in seconds, and now I am like ROAR COME AT ME BRO. The instant I see a Phantom I Charge them down then cut them in half with a Claymore blast.

I always love my Salarian Infiltrator. I maxed out the invisibility, so I can roam the battlefield peeping all the grunts in the head no problem. No enemy is safe.

Then you agree that any fault that breaks the Mass Effect universe or Rpg genre is "bad enough" to be valid? Cause if you want to go there, we can.

you know damn well I'm not talking about cutscenes. I'm talking about the every-5minutes-watch-something explode-or-trip-over something-scenes No doubt they pulled that bullcrap from Gears of war or the Call of duty franchise.

Plus the reporter chick wasn't a mistake. They decided thats what they wanted their game to include. None of these are red flags to you? I mean seriously, you can't be that naive.

No sir, auto dialogue is not a choice. I don't remember choosing my shepard to say "WE FIGHT OR WE DIE". He just did it. In me1 and me2 almost all, if not all dialogue were choosen by the player.


Which reminds me about the silly "action mode" nonsense. red flags!
the reporter was a mistake they made when they added her not what ever you were thinking about. there was 3 choices at the beginning action role playing and story did you look and them or where they magically missing from your copy. one last thing its a prologue and a demo so some stuff may not be shown since there is only so much room they'll allow. they were being attack so i doubt there wouldn't be explosions

See this is something I've been wondering myself recently. Is there something that determines the number of a certain race/class on a team? Ever since I've started playing I've yet to see another Krogan on the same team as me.
There doesn't seem to be, at least not in the demo. And based on the sheer number of humans I've been playing with, I think the lack of Krogan is probably to do with most people being a lot less lucky with the character drops than you've been ;)

I've had some of the same problems which not ending up in a diverse team. But I'm pretty sure that you can change your class prior to the start of match if you haven't said you're "ready" yet.
True, but at this point I've only really got one playable character and I think that's how a lot of other people are approaching it too - I'm yet to see anyone who turns up to a three Vanguard / one Adept party and then changes to a Soldier or Engineer. Guess there's always that possibility though, and it could be interesting trying to be the one that does that :)

I think Mass Effect 3 is honestly some of the best multiplayer that I have played in quite a long time. It's challenging, it's dynamic, you need to use teamwork to succeed, and so many of the design decisions add depth to the combat.
And sadly that is why it will suck. Most 17 year old neck-bearded Rambo's don't want to work as a team, just look at almost every FPS on the market, even RTS'.
I understand your fears but I have to say that every mob I was teamed up with worked as a unit and backed each other up. Except for that one Vanguard who Biotic Charged the crap out of everyone before my infiltrator could draw a bead on them.

I've been messing around a little bit in each class and race, just to see what I might what to specialize in. So I have a level 4-5 character (at least) in each class to add a little diversity if necessary.

I thought I read somewhere that multiplayer opens up single player content? is this true?
No, playing the multiplayer doesn't unlock anything for Single Player.

However, they did do something interesting between Multi-player and Single-player. It's been announced that ME3 will have a good ending and a bad ending, and there are 2 different ways to earn the good ending.

1: By playing the single-player in its entirety and completing every side mission and objective.

2: By playing enough of the multi-player to fill a meter that determines how prepared you are to deal with the Reapers.

really? you guys all love it? cause i just cant help but feel its tacked on. like its jumping on gears of war 2's horde mode bandwagon. it is kinda interesting to be able to play as the other races, but they're not really any different
Thats what I think too. Also, I completely fore-saw this undeniably "OMG ITS SO GOOD!" Coming from miles away. Fans of anything will love anything if it has that brand on it.

I think the complaint here isn't deciding everything Shepard says because that would just get tedious, more that in the opening of the demo, you had no say in what Shepard said and he ended up spouting off like a retard.

That may have been cut from the demo.

The demo is the maximum size it's allowed to be, that's why some of the textures are a bit off, and some dialogue decision sections may very well have been cut in order to fit it all in the download.

I have no comment, save the one you're about to read following this sentence.

Just like always, I have no interest whatsoever with the sole exception of achievement grinding if need be. Otherwise, I'm just gonna roll through the campaign, cry manly tears as my FemShep goes out in blaze of glory/defeat (or so I'm expecting), put that particular character to rest, and patiently wait for the next game that grabs my interest.

And before anyone starts, the multiplayer probably is all that and a bag of chips - hell, maybe even two bags - and that's great. Really, it is; nobody thought BioWare could do it and they apparently caused a lot of people to, as we say in the streets, "shut the fuck up". I, however, simply don't care, and that's the end of that.

Good day.

Well I guess I can't argue with that.

YOU CAN BE A KROGAN?!? LOLOLOLOL THATS THE BEST THING IVE EVER HEARD IN A GAME EVER

Seriously people? Why does everyone think Krogan's are the strongest, most bad ass, smashiest things in all of fiction? Did we forget what a goddam orc is? Like....ugh.

Amazing? Meh. Its a horde mode with a leveling system to draw out gameplay hours. Made well? I mean, I guess, but its nothing that hasn't been done before.


Mass Effect 3 is not the messiah of the video game world.
(please don't freak out over this comment, its an alright series, but the hype is a little overboard)
The difference is that Orcs don't exist in the ME universe :p. I'd be more interested in playing as a Collector or a Yahg. Those things are fucking monsters (but would also probably break the game so yeah).

And it is fun as hell.

OT: I played multiplayer today with a few friends, except for some bugs and connection issues it was awesome.
