I still don’t like the idea of having multiplayer injected into an excellent singleplayer series. It feels like an attempt by EA to broaden the game’s audience at the risk of alienating the existing fans. Of course that’s something they’ve already risked by scaling back on RPG elements from ME1 to ME2, and I still enjoyed the second game more than the first.
So I’m trying to have some faith in BioWare, even if I don’t have any in EA. Seeing this multiplayer video helps.
Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer
That video does look fun. However, I have to say I’m still skeptical of the multiplayer until I learn more about it. One thing I’m really curious about is how you gear up your multiplayer guys. I know that they can be leveled, but will there be randomized loot ala PSO or Borderlands? If so the multiplayer could end up being a fun Diabloesk side game. I just hope it at least ends up being more than an annoyance you have to deal with to make it easier to get the “good endings” in single player.
