Bioware said it was possible to get the best ending without multiplayer but after playing the game and reding about it all over the internet I disagree. I mean I beat every side mission and had every war asset and I didnt even come close. The best I can get is in the 7,000. This is the biggest disappointment for me. I mean seriously Bioware!? I personaly hate multiplayer but when you guys mentioned you were ading it I just said fine whatever because you guys siad it was NOT needed. If its really ossible then you guys need to address the issue and tell us HOW please!

The only solution I hace heard is that you need a perfect playthrough however since I have a PS3 I cant get a perfect playthrough because I dont have access to Mass Effect.

Also I know there are a lot of these threads but they were all locked and the admins said to move the thread here so I did.

Bump.

That seems to be the case... which is very very irritating...

Yeah you need to get near 100% in all parts of the galaxy map and around 5100 resources to get the best ending. You also need to save Anderson from TIM through renegade or paragon convo options.

Honestly, I didn't mind getting a worse ending (as it really doesn't change THAT much) but the simple fact that there's really no way to earn the best ending through singleplayer only does kind of bother me. Especially since this was such a touted feature of the game before release. I love the multiplayer, but the idea was that people wouldn't have to play it if they didn't want to...

Yea I mean im cool with it being implemented and I am happy o many people liked it. I think Bioware proved it didnt take away any of the actual focus on single player. For me I had hears casy Hudson say the best ending was possible without multiplayer so I wasn't to concerned. Yea guess that was not the truth.

I had no problem with the multiplayer at first although I don't play it. But seriously, the way they implemented it into the sp constantly reminds you of its existance, making you feel penalized for not playing it by taking away 50% of your aquired war assets instead of adding a bonus for playing the mp, that should only be visible in the sp, if you choose to play it.
I did every frakking mission I could find and after the malus I have abut 3.5k EMS and I feel like I have to play the mp, but I don't want to and I won't, but it deminishes my enjoyment of the sp.
Next to the ending, the biggest flaw of the game, imo.

I agree, I feel like I'm being punished for not playing MP here, I'm on a second playthrough just before the mission on Horizon - Sanctuary and I have 3450 EMS - no way I'll get ~600 more so yeah - this blows...

Also I wonder, all people refer to this +20 second scene where Shepard lives as the best ending - but what if this is the secret ending and indeed a bonus if you play the MP. As for the so called "best ending" - since you need to gather more resources to get it is this green-thing when synthetics and organics are merged - how much EMS you need to get it?

Getting the best ending without touching the multiplayer is possible.
Not 100% sure about renegade but if it's a paragon playthrough it is possible.

Please provide or reference documentation of a means of attaining an Effective Military Strength of at least 4000 without raising Galactic Readiness above 50%.

[Renjin]

 There are only ~7600 ish points. At 50% its impossible to get the best ending.

[BBK4114]

I abso-f'ing-lutely hate this. I have never played ANY game w/out being able to pause. My 15 year-old son offered to play it for me enough to raise the percentage. But he's an xbox multiplayer and my ME is all PC. How are the servers?

This is the 2nd suckiest thing in this game!!!!! Bioware always tells the truth! Oh, wait...

None, did it myself. Although now that you mention it mine could have been slightly over 50% when I started the last priority mission. I just checked mine, and it's around 6300 and I couldn't have had more than 60%, which leaves me at around 3780. So I really doubt you need more than 4000 to get the best ending possible.
I did also read that playing the co-op was not necessary to get the best ending. Can't be bothered to find links now, since this was several months ago.

[CorThor]

It seems impossible without MP or DLC.. I had a perfect ME2 game and did every sidequest and got only 7700 with a galactic readiness off 50%. It may be that could have gotten more if I didn´t cure the Genophage and gotten the full help of both Salarians and Krogan but i am not sure if that is possible.

Dont worry there is no best ending.

Weird, I got the best ending (so called) w/out playing multiplayer. maybe past decisions made a difference?

Please provide visual documentation of your Effective Military Strength in excess of 4000.

[Fredvdp]

How much do the war assets matter? I had over 6000 (with 92% readiness). Are the choices in the end different if you have less?

I think what they call the best ending is about 3000 (2800 ?), when you save earth in all cases. You only need 4000 or 5000 to see the 1 sec shepard video when you pick destroy... which is probably just a bonus (I guess time will tell, but I would'nt be suprise to learn that Shepard lives anyway).
Now of course, this one sec bonus is probably impossible to get without MP, but other than that, 2800 is enough to get the "best ending".

A minimum Effective Military Strength of 4000 is required for the "Shepard lives" teaser.  No legitimate means of attaining this strength with a Galactic Readiness of 50% has been discovered, and evidence derived from the data files suggests such an accomplishment impossible.

[Ilysail]

I went through the official guide on my second playthough, did all the side quest and still couldnt break 3700 EMS

But there is one thing i read which bummed me out:

I was wondering if was possible to please both the salarians and krogan in the genophage act like you could with the geth and quarians, according to the guide, its possible to get both Salarian and Korgan support, but not if Wrex is alive.

If you sabotage the genophage and wrex is alive, hell find out later and withdraw war assets, but if Wrex is dead and his brother Wreav is in charge he wont discover your sabotage...
No idea how much difference it makes, i dont have a save where wrex is dead and i dont plan to make one

Would play MP long before i kill off wrex
