User blog comment:JakePT/Mass Effect 3 Revealed at Videogame Awards/@comment-774818-20101210050310

I suppose I should weigh in on this discussion, seeing as how every reputable editor on this site has...

Personally? I don't care what it is: DLC, ME3, ME spinoff, I dun really care. I know Mass Effect 3 is in the works and that's good enough for me. I'm not going to get my hopes up. No hopes up, no hopes crushed. Personally, I'd rather see nothing than a Mass Effect multiplayer spinoff (that means resources are going to something uncool and as opposed to something cool like ME3 or ME2 DLC).

I will say this too: take multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. People can go play Call of Duty or Halo if they want to shoot something with multiplayer. Keep it out of my Mass Effect.

I will tale a killer story and innovative features over multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 any day of the goddamn week.

If BioWare wants to release a spinoff that has multiplayer, fine by me, but just keep it out of Mass Effect 3 for the time being. Or, if it is in, don't sacrifice kick-banging story for it.
