Yeah, just take the time to vent. As long as you're not being malicious while you do so.

Aaaand Bioware crams multiplayer into Dragon Age 3, as well.

The page didn't feel like loading but is the multiplayer darksouls like? If it's just a traditional multiplayer I don't see the issue. If you don't want to play it you could always not play it.

Personally I liked ME3's multiplayer a lot. It did get tedious after a while but still I thought it was enjoyable.

From what I can gather, there are a lot of multiplayer aspects. To access online actions, you first have to be human, but even before that, you can apparently view bloodstains on the map indicating where others have died from enemies and traps.

Before metioning the actions, have to note that in the game, you can make an oath to a particular person or subject, called a covenant. This is a modifier for online interaction that make some allies and others enemies.

Anyways, if you are human and you haven not beaten the zone boss, you can summon an ally to help fight with you in jolly cooperation. You ally must use an item called a soapstone and you use a soul sign. Once the boss is beaten, ally returns to her / his realm with reward humanity and souls.

Three pvp mechanics available. There is regular pvp, where you invade a human player to fight for humanity and souls. There is gravelords, where players of the Gravelord covenant can infect three random players and summon Gravelord phantoms that last until the summoner is defeated or quits. Then there are vagrants, which randomly spawn and invade other players when you use/drop specific pvp items or lose a huge chunk of your humanity.

See, that's the multiplayer I see annoying for someone who just enjoys single player, but if it's a completely seperate mode from the single player in Dragonage I don't see the point of getting bent out of shape about it.

It wasn't that way in ME3 if I remember correctly you had to play multiplayer to prepare sections of the galaxy and that effected the ending somehow, or so I heard. Maybe you will be forced to play it a little bit.

Though seeing what Bioware did with Javik you might wanna keep an eye on them until the game releases. That I would find much more annoying than a meh-quality tacked on multiplayer.

[Guest]

I wish the multiplayer for Darksouls would have worked for me. I feel like I would have had better time with that game if it had worked.

[Vinylshadow]

I am definitely a single-player kind of person

multiplayer irks me, and it's not just the five year old kids with mics

I'll stick with games like Half-Life, the Jedi Knight series, Halo, etc

Now it seems like every (Good) new game is multiplayer-only - not like my 2007 computer can handle them anyway

In Mass Effect 3 if you did not have your "Galactic Readiness" high enough your choice of endings would be forced. Without playing a single multiplayer game your readiness would default to 50% meaning for every war asset you acquired it would only be worth 50% as much. Staying at 100% required something like 20 hours of multiplayer time and an extra two hours every week that went by as it would decay back to 50%. However if you were a perfect paragon or perfect renegade and acquired EVERY single asset and did EVERY single side mission and had no one die in the Suicide mission in 2 and saved the queen in 1 it was possible to still get all endings without touching multiplayer.


They eventually patched it so you only needed to do about 80% of the game to get your choice of all three endings. Or rather four endings with the redone ending which was still balls.

What kind of game are you looking for? Plenty of games out there that are not hardware intensive.

[Vinylshadow]

I think I have all the singleplayer games I need at the moment

Prototype, Republic Commando, Black Mesa, Cave Story, Shovel Knight, Fallout: New Vegas

[Kattlarv]

Welp, that was a longer than usual fizzle. And my browser seems to have misplaced the last topic... anyone mind helping me find it, or would you rather bury it?

[StoneSlinger88]

Republic Commando

Hell yes, an old game that actually had good AI that could function effectively.

[Vinylshadow]

The writing in RC was perfect; the ending really got me

We were talking about military things, then we got into games

That sounds very unreasonable, I enjoyed the multiplayer so I didn't have that problem. I was unlocking new guns and characters often enough that it didn't get boring for me. If you hated it though that sucks.

I'm liking Harmony Theory so far - on Chapter 11 at the moment

Also caught up with "Night's Favoured Child"

[Frost]

Frost, I read the first chapter of Harmony Theory and the way Rainbow Dash deals with those guards, constantly being surprised every time they rushed her (which I think was around 3) before getting distracted by the scenery... yeah, she seems pretty idiotic to me.

One can hardly blame the peaceful inhabitants of a nation that abhors violence to take a deadly fight completely in stride.

[Vinylshadow]

She was 'fighting' defensively...
