User blog comment:Commdor/Rumor: ME3 to Feature 4-Player Co-op Missions/@comment-2174252-20110617154052

I haven’t seen as much controversy about MP or SP in any other game as in Mass Effect. I believe this is due to the fact that ME is the first RPG that has incorporated the shooter component as an integral part of the game. Therefore, it has attracted numerous TPS/FPS fans that most of them are, as Lancer put it: “multiplayer junkies”.

As most of us in this wiki I believe ME, being primarily a RPG game, is a SP game that afford us a very personal experience which can’t be achieved in a multiplayer. There is only one Shepard.

However, in sight of the fact that MP fans keep flowing in, I think BioWare would be foolish not to listen to them. I’ll just quote a post I recently posted in the BioWare forum answering to another user’s idea of making MP as an option in a DLC:

“This is the best and most sane idea I've heard in a while. This will, IMO, satisfy both groups, giving MP fans the option to buy the DLC and play it to their heart's content, thus leaving the main game intact for the (true RPG) fans.”
