Multi-player is fun if you have your parents credit card and are ok with 10 ft by 10ft level constantly with no one else communicating. Also you have to be ok with friends not playing the game with you since they left for something better which is just about anything out there now. Protoype 2's ending was better and it was like 25 second cutscene with 1 line.
If you have to pay for things like mortgages, healthcare since company no longer provides it then Mass Effects multiplayer is a kick in the face since it is all about making more money. They wasted development time on crap M
me to play since to get the good stuff requires real money to be competitive. Multi-player is only co-op which draws in even less people who are the MP crows. Call it what it is... A money grab marketing test to see how stupid gamers are. To keep respect they should have never done multi-player and put that development into endings that took into account the rest of the series much less choices.
But from a business stand point the Multi Player is genius. It probably took a week or two to develop. Its a step above Pong in complexity and morons will throw real money at it to "get the good stuff" to experience a few 10ft by 10ft levels over and over again for the payoff of leveling characters then dumping them to SP to have to level them over again.
So...
We can't get the endings we want, but the simpletons got a game mode that will bleed their parents dry.
Bioware Montreal actually did the MP stuff. SP was all in Edmonton so no time wasted. Not to mention if they managed to screw up the ending this badly from one location, imagine the plot holes coming from multiple ones

Bioware's from Canada, we get free healthcare up here.
That being said, they have said that you don't need MP to get the best ending, pretty much everyone says that's not the case... I haven't gotten close to 5000 on SP. Also being said, EA did push them to get the game out the door thinking no one would care, they've learnt a valuable lesson and have already started changing things.. so in that case we've succeeded a lot in what we wanted from them.. just hoping they somehow salvage the ending to ME3 now.
