OK so I haven't jammed the demo, can you play like in me3 with cover based shooting instead of flying around? My wife said she hates the super zooming and poo poo and with my new TV it's going to make her hurl.

Is there like a regular rear end cover shooting build?

It's still a cover shooter. You spend most of your time in cover. Jumping makes it faster to change cover/attack however. No need to do so if you don't like it. Not a big fan of the soft cover system though. Have died a few times because I thought I'm in cover when I wasn't.

Sounds good, the thing that killed DA:I for me was the unengaging combat. If I can cover shoot for 100 hours fine whatever I'll stomache Shrek en the gang. Maybe I'm a dweeb but I liked ME combat.

Trial havers, how is the weapon weight and cool down system effecting your load out choices? Are you taking a noticeable hit for too many or too heavy weapons, do you get any benefit anymore for just carrying a pistol?

Unless there is a heavy rear end pistol you will never have a reason to roll with just a pistol. I have the starting pistol and a researched AR and I'm still under the weight limit. No bonus for being underweight anymore.

I was thinking rolling with a sniper rifle and shotgun. I'm expecting that they'll be heavy enough that you'll get cooldown reductions unless you dig into their passive trees to make them lighter.

Yeah, new weight system really opens up the weapon loadouts, especially in MP.

Quite a penalty without spending skill points actually. With a Viper Sniper Rifle and a Mattock Assault Gun I have -45 % recharge rate early on.

As dumb and as wild as this thread is, it ain't got poo poo on the rest of the net with people literally coming out and saying poo poo like "WHY WOULD YOU COME UP AND RUIN SOMEONE'S HYPE FOR THIS GAME?!". Of all the stupid things to defend in this industry, the sanctity of blind hype is beyond me.

So it sounds like the weight penalty is probably worth it early on when powers are kind of rear end anyway?

Not only did I ask him not to do similar in the Switch thread recently but he devolved into insults and attacks and pretty nasty posting.

I do not want that sort of thing in Games. We can be nicer than that.

So how is the multiplayer? Is it basically the same as 3 where I level up guns with loot boxes? If so I'm still buying this game. The horde mode in ME3 was action packed, matches were quick, and had the fun/dissapointment of gambling with loot boxes. The whole time I felt like I was chasing the dragon and I mean that in a good way.

I'm not as dissapointed in the animations as much as other people seem to be, and I won't mind the single player as long as I can just switch to some good MP whenever I get bored. DA:I would have been a lot easier for me to get through if the multiplayer was good.

Also did anyone figure out how.multiplayer affects single player or can you not get far enough in single player yet to find out?

Yes, its the same.

For the SP-MP thing, you can send teams out to do missions, like the War Table in DA:I, but some of them you can run on your own in MP. They will have some kind of modifier, like less weapon damage but more power damage or whatever, and after you extract, you get your usual MP rewards but a loot chest for SP. There maybe other SP rewards, I dunno.
