jstout Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I haven't played a minute of multiplayer yet, but I like it. I was ready for another RPG-type game (like Skyrim and Fallout 4, with leveling up and improving your weapons/armor, etc.), and the space setting is fun. I'm interested to see how the story plays out. EDIT: Time was running out on my trial, so I decided to jump into multiplayer to see what its deal is. It's gonna be tough for me - I felt so sorry for my teammates having to constantly revive me until they just gave up on me and let me die. I never could swing into and out of cover soon enough, plus sometimes the enemy would wind up right behind me without me really noticing. Cover doesn't help when something's shooting you in the back at point-blank range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 stout, if it's any condolence, this is at the point were everyone is most vulnerable in multiplayer. I was having a lot of problems extracting on bronze, and I play Gold at a reasonably high level on on ME3. All of our weapons in teh early going are shit, our characters aren't leveled up, etc. It gets easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Multiplayer is gonna be interesting, with several of us that have never seen it. I've done a bunch of single player runs on ME1-3, but I've never touched the multiplayer in 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm about to make a rant about some of the ME:A launch real fast, but I'll give one little gif to sell people on multiplayer in ME:A first. http://i.imgur.com/qA13Vhw.gifv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems I would have to shoot them 300 times before even dropping their shields. Ran out of ammo a couple of times, too, that was fun. The game seems to me to have a gigantic learning curve, but I'm less anxious and more excited by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One key thing to remember about ME Multiplayer is you don't have to be the guy killing everyone to be contributing. As long as you are paying attention to the objectives, giving revives to teammates, and contributing some fire or debuffs, you are a key part of the team. God knows when I first started playing with Phil and J.T. I had nothing compared to them having everything, but I still found ways to try to help out. Also, that's not even going into potentially getting team builds going for some challenges down the line. Always fun to play as a total biotic death squad were everyone is priming and detonating each others shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yep, my local Gamestop called me to say I should be there between 8:30 and 9:00 so they could get my receipt stamped and get everything finished up as soon as possible. This isn't a huge town or anything, so I'm not sure if there are too many preorders for this thing, but I know I'm getting mine, and it shall be. . .

The Man Known as Dan Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Okay, reviews are literally all over the place for this game. Some in the upper 8s and low 9s, some in the 5s and 6s. I almost think theres a decent shot some of us won't stay with this game long term. We shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the negative reviews I've seen are mostly critical of "depth and complexity which may turn off audiences used to simpler experiences." To which I reply, "fuck those people," because I was indeed looking for a better marriage between ME1's RPG-ness and ME3 rapid combat mechanics.. I am pissed off about there being no quick save features and not being able to use the pause menu to execute squad abilities since that is the best way to set up and execute your power combos in Campaign Mode.

J.T. Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 As far as multiplayer goes, we will all suck until we get more map familiarity and unlock better weapons. Don't be put off by that. Use Bronze matches to get a feel for character builds, level grinding, and weapon performance and go nuts in Silver and Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 I am gonna say this now The only way I am going to hate this game is if it goes DA2 and I get a game breaking bug Other than that - I clearly will be the only person who loves it Fuck all ya all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'm very much looking forward to this game. The original ME series was so good, so immersive, I can't wait to get it on a next gen machine. With that said, I've always just played the RPG/campaign side of the game. I'm not a multi-player guy at all (in any game really) but ME was always good at making sure you could duck the multiplayer angle all together if you wanted to.

You are fucking kidding me, right. The days have returned where you will log on at four in the morning and find me in mid match with Eastern Europeans (since no Americans are awake at that hour) trying to earn some extra credits before I have to go to work.
