Uh, that they have to assure us of this is already alarming.

Well, it is an interview that focused on the multiplayer aspects of the game. Considering that was quite a bit of initial complaining regarding ME:3 having multiplayer (you know, the usual, why throw multiplayer in my single player game, you are ruining everything, etc. etc.) it isn't a huge surprise they are specifically pointing this out. We don't remember much in the way of initial complaints regarding the existence of multiplayer because it ended up not being a tacked-on mess and the negative focus was soon drowned out by the whole ending fiasco.
ME3's co-op multiplayer was a refreshing surprise that I think was pretty well executed overall. I may have ended up playing it more than than the single player mode since it was a lot of fun to play with friends. |
That's because everyone's instant fear would be them trying to turn ME into a vs mode-only cash cow ala Call of Duty in space.
Eventually everyone figured out they couldn't replicate the success of WoW, and then they had to learn that CoD was its own phenomenon too. |
the older I get the less social I am. screw multiplayer in a single player game, if I want to listen to some twat trash talk my mom I'll start up a game for that.
damn kids, get off my lawn! |
I'm looking forward to the multiplayer more than the story mode. ME3 multiplayer was my perfect chill out after work game and my play time was a shade under 500 hours.
It wasn't the deepest game out there, but man it was fun experimenting with different classes/races/guns/gear/skills and going in and just wrecking shit. |

I guess maybe they are commenting on the rise of Dark Souls-esque games where multiplayer is part of the single player experience. |
