Of course, the fanbois think I'm trolling. Having an opinion that disagrees with yours = trolling. Yay. If they want my money, they should consider selling the portion of the game I am interested in. You are trolling and you're pretty mediocre at it. Also I love how you're complaining about fanboys on a Mass Effect forum.... WTF did you expect????

I see your $30 standalone MP and raise you $70 for a character creator.

Overwatch is a multiplayer-only game, yes? It was $60 at launch. So, I guess MP-only AAA games are $60, so you can feel happy buying this game purely for MP for $60. Also Call of Duty, which many people don't play any of the single-player, is also $60. Market says AAA multiplayer game is $60, so that's what you pay for MEA MP. And for your 60 bucks, you even get a campaign mode, which is more than SOME multiplayer games have done lately. Wuttadeal.

So, your argument is, they spent as much time and effort, maybe more even, in making the MP good, so much so that the SP is secondary?
LOL
If that's true, the MP will actually be good. And I still won't buy it. I got into Mass Effect because it was a SINGLE PLAYER space RPG done by Bioware.
I now will get into something different. The burned hand learns best, they say.

And I still won't buy it. I got into Mass Effect because it was a SINGLE PLAYER space RPG done by Bioware. I now will get into something different. The burned hand learns best, they say. Whose argument was that? I double-checked the thread and was pretty sure I never saw that. They spent the majority of time and resources on the single-player campaign. However, many of the people working on the single-player also worked on the multiplayer, and they share resources between them, so if you are paying for one thing you have to pay for the other. You can't say "I just like the half-time show of the football game, so I should be able to get a cheaper ticket just for halftime!" It just doesn't work like that. One doesn't exist without the other, and so you get what you get. There's no MEA MP without MEA SP. There's no halftime show without a football game. MP will be good anyway. It's heavily based on ME3MP, and so if that's what you liked then you will like this! Same 3-power limit, same horde mode, same types of objectives, same waves of enemies, etc. Just different enemies, different guns, and a jump-pack! And it's not like you are going to get another new AAA multiplayer game for less. If it bothers you so much, just wait a year and pick up the game when it's cheaper. MP will still be going strong I'm sure, since ME3MP is still going strong 5 years later!

Yeah well it doesn't work like that. So I guess you'll just have to sit this one out, while the rest of us have a great time without you. Well, actually, let me respond in parts. ...it doesn't work like that.Your sleuthery rivals Sherlock. I am asking for something added, another revenue stream. While you may remain correct, I would pay for the MP-only game at something closer to full price, while I will likely never buy this game or any other EA product. Hands are washed, because I learn. ... while the rest of us have a great time without you.That remains to be seen, and I simply cannot fathom why a long time Bioware fan wouldn't be more wary as a consumer at this point. Perhaps it is because you are all rich, or perhaps it is Daddy's money that pays for your AndromeDaddy games... Any other reason smacks of something weird. Masochism. Or diminishing expectations. I don't get it. I'm sorry did you just imply that you have to be rich or a kid to afford a 60 dollar game? I mean really? Cry me a river so I can drown you in it.

You really gotta wonder how shitty, uninteresting and miserable some people's lives are; so much so that they get this upset (for pathetic reasons) and feel the need to make posts like this that are honestly filled with such incredible fuckwittery, you just have to believe that they're trolling. If they are really trolling, then their lives must be just as shitty to drive them to aggravate on people on the internet for entertainment.
Assuming you are mentally deficient and therefore being serious... that's never going to happen. Either buy the full game, experience it, and THEN make your opinions - or don't, and fuck off. byee

I don't get it. That you would pay this doesn't make it any less of a terrible idea. The multiplayer portion of Mass Effect is essentially the secondary mode that is akin to bonus content than being a full-fledged game in itself. It ties directly into the singleplayer campaign's narrative. The only reason anything is happening there is because of what's happening in singleplayer. By itself, it's just basic arenas with microtransactions. Why would BioWare ever sell this by itself? Why would they purposefully devalue their flagship product because some whiny cheapskate can't wait until the game is on discount to get the same thing? Wrong, the singleplayer story exists solely to give context and purpose to the multiplayer squads.

Actually Overwatch's base game is 40$ on PC, unless you are one of them lolconsole players who payed 60$ for the base game. So the MP only part should be 40$, because that is where all the money, & content is going.

I think it is more like asking for a version that EPSN charges you less because all you are interested in are the football games while blocking all other content the channel offers.

Qui_Gon, you're a good guy and I know you aren't trolling. I'm sorry to see you so salty. There are probably quite a few people who would like to pay less and get only the SP or only the MP mode, but I don't think it will happen. MP is tied to SP to try to entice the SP players into microtransaction land. While it might make some sense to sell the MP as a standalone (more microtransaction participants, yay) people would likely complain that it's too expensive no matter what price they put on it without the bonus of the SP campaign. I paid less than 3 cents per hour of ME3MP since I played over 3k hours and never bought packs with real money, so I figure I owe them a bit of cash now. Hope to see you there, though I'm gonna be playing on Dirt difficulty for several hundred hours.
