That's a shame, Just armor and skins.

At least it's not an entire mission and campaign character
I'd prefer overall if multiplayer wasn't a big thing because it just distracts time away from the game itself which the mass effect series is known for.

Before ME3 I would've agreed with you, but the MP in that game was just so fun. It's definitely the best horde-mode-wave-game thing I've ever played and practically the only one I've enjoyed.

Great MP paired with amazing feeling shooting. ME3 MP is really great.
Is it me, or female Ryder just straight looks fucking ugly?

That is a good thing.

It's a good thing you can customise your character to make them look better, or worse! :smug:

It was boring as fuck imo

I don't know, ME3 multiplayer was pretty fun. I spent a LOT of time in it. Dragon Age Inquisition isn't too bad, either, though it being a bit dead ruins it. If Andromeda has co-op along side the game it can only be a good thing
ME3 MP had a lot of characters, they were all free as they were released, and they all played differently. I wish there was a bit more than the 10 wave system, looks like this time we'll get it

I can't be bothered to play multi-player in anything except games known for it. I don't want to get invested in something that's gonna die eventually.
I think tbh it'd be worth a shot to make the multi-player component sold separately (with a discount to the full game if you buy it later) and price that shit at like $15. The only games I've seen do this are the ones that don't really need to risk it. Rainbow Six: Siege had a starter pack for $15 multiple times, and I believe CoD: Black Ops 3 has it multiple times too. You get full access to playing the game, but progression is either slowed or capped (you only start with two operators in R6 and you have to grind out a bit to unlock the other operators, you can't prestige in BO3) These games both also have some micro transactions in them that a player might drop some cash on too, so they've got those maybe making them money too.
I mean shit, there's also singleplayer games like HITMAN where if you're on the fence about buying it you can pay $15 for essentially the tutorial and 2 levels and if the game suits you all you gotta do is drop the extra $45 to get the rest of them (so far, it's a bit flawed in that it's very possible they're going to have a season pass 2 soon).
Basically, my thoughts on this are that the low price of the multiplayer might get people into it and keep it alive, whereas $60 for a game with a reputation for being extremely focused on singleplayer might not, especially when the series isn't known for groundbreaking combat.

That's a given, but publishers in the games industry are afraid of trying new, risky things, especially when it's clearly shown that the current system works.
60-70$ for a new game in the first place is sorta dumb, and I definitely think a lot of games could have their SP and MP components sold as separate packages (plus one definitive package, of course). Hell, there are some games that I think would make some profit by just making DLC separate. I'd be willing to, and I have friends who would too, buy the new Division Survival DLC separately, for instance.

[QUOTE=Kabstrac;51655167]The ME3 MP was alive for a long time, I don't really know where you're getting this fear of not wanting to invest time into if it will die eventually. This sounds more like a "you" thing rather than a fault of the game for having a multiplayer.[/QUOTE]
It's still actually rather alive. I tried it for the heck of it and found multiple matches instantly.
