I don't want to be forced to play multiplayer, because I can't, and above all, I shouldn't be forced. You said, that multiplayer won't affect the single player for those who don't want multiplayer, but actually that's the case.  I tried again, and now I am sure, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO have the best ending without multiplayer because of this issue. There aren't enough war assets in this game.

I can't play mass effect 3 again right now, since whatever the playthrough, I can't have the best ending.

Not entirely about "best" endings. I simply want to be able to get "all" endings playing ME3 alone.

If there is a 5000 EMS check, Single Player alone should allow us to get more than 10000 TMS; to account for the many decisions.

Please consider removing the silly Galaxy Readiness. Sever all ties between Single Player and Multi Player.

We play Multiplayer for the sake of playing multiplayer, with friends. It is fun and rewarding in itself.

We play Singleplayer for the experience, the journey.

Please do not choose the "Merge" option for us. We do not want to be "Merged". We do not want to be part organic, part synthetic [part SP, part MP]. Forcing players to play is a very repulsive thing to do, especially in the Mass Effect series.

I dont want to stop playing my campaign right before the point of no return to do multiplayer because the freaking GR depletes if I dont KEEP PLAYING!!!

Besides, I remember Bioware stated that even if they make multiplayer, it will NOT AFFECT single player. This is clearly another "Cake".

p/s: I play MP whenever my connection allow for it.

Indeed you don't get the full ending with 4000 EMS and I can't even get 4000 EMS without MP, I have crap Internet were I live and I am crap at MP yet Bioware force me to play it. This is not what you promised

[silentspec111]

It seems MP is compulsory to get the shep lives ending. Doing only SP will not even you even 4000 EMS. Most you played SP got stuck at 3800.

I thought BIOWARE said you can get the good ending even while only doing SP?

Did they lie or am I missing something?? 

[TheIdiocyWizard]

I hate not having a reliable internet connection at home. Single player is all I have, and now I can't eve get the "best" ending.
Oh well I guess.

[Degs29]

I actually like the idea of galactic readiness. It makes sense. However, I'd rather there be an option to complete the multiplayer missions solo as an alternative. Not sure why they didn't allow this....

[LeBurns]

Yeah my brother is on X-Box without X-Box Live so he can't even patch his game, let alone play MP. No help at all for those playing the game as it is in the box. Bottom line you pay for all of it but you only get to see part of it.

[silentspec111]

atleast they should have given us enough war assets to get 4000EMS. from what it seems now you cant even reach the 4000 mark. Despite bioware saying time and again 4000 is achievable by only doing SP. If that was not the case then they should have not lied to us.

[Sanunes]

The way multiplayer was described I have no problem with it, for I thought it meant that you wouldn't have to go and do all the Citadel fetch quests in the game, but the way I have experienced it so far if you need 10,000 points to get access to the hardest to achieve ending. Right now the only way I can see a way to get the final ending without multiplayer is to find a checklist on the internet and my all my choices based off that not how I would be playing that Shepard.

I don't know if they lied, but it is impossible without multiplayer. Thanks for all those who don't have xbox live right now.

I enjoy the MP in ME3, but I keep asking myself... what if I hated it? What kind of game would ME3 have been for me? I don't know how the numbers break down, though, so I can't say that the best SP ending requires MP. Has anyone done the numbers?

Is it simply a case of not being able to get the max ending because you didn't do a good job bringing the races together in SP? Usually, an alliance requires some compromises... If you refused to make those in SP it makes sense you don't have the full war assets, and therefore you can't get the best ending.

They can easily make Galactic Readiness a real value and not a percentage.

That way, maybe a few months from now, when I decide to do a quick run and dont want to do the sidequest, I can skip them.

Notice how Galactic Readiness depletes if you do not play for a while? That is the most sinister thing I have seen in the game industry. They are blackmailing us to play the MP continuously. 

Bioware, your MP game is great. Have some faith in your own product. You do not need to blackmail us, force us to play. Those who like MP will play it regardless and those who like MP more than SP will NOT care about SP.

On the contrary, you should reward MP players for playing SP. Getting the best SP resource allows you to sponsor your specialist in MP so they can buy more gear. Not the other way round. You got it ALL WRONG.

Yeah I would not want to call Lee (the one who wrote the stickied post) a liar.  Perhaps he (or she) was just grossly misinformed.  But bottom line, Lee was wrong.

It took me maxing my rating in MP to achieve the best ending, I did literally everything I could and I think my rating had I not played MP would have been roughly 35-3800. I don't mind the MP but that I had to stop playing my game, and just play multiplayer for a few hours is a little ridiculous for a single player game.

[Texhnolyze101]

They won't because they want you to play there lame MP

[AllThatJazz]

Agreed. It sucks that I either have to metagame the entire trilogy (not just ME3!) or play multiplayer to get the ending that I ... well, want is an exaggeration, but you know what I mean :/ Of course, I could also play that App, except I don't have a tablet or iphone or whatever.

In theory, it's cool that MP and the App stuff ties in, at least I think it's a neat idea, but it shouldn't hinder the SP experience to this extent. Please, Bio. Either change the system, or just provide a few more war assets to the SP game ...

This!
We's screwed.

[Rogue Unit]

They're not even acknowledging that this problem exists so I doubt they'll be fixing it anytime soon.

[Odd Hermit]

There's a save editor out now, haven't tried tinkering with war assets, but that's an option at least assuming you can use it to adjust that.

[G00N3R7883]

I don't want to get in to details about War Asset numbers and which ending is "best" and if its possible to get it without playing multiplayer. For me its a very simple philosophical statement that applies to every game I ever have or ever will play:

Multiplayer should not affect single player in any way. And I mean, literally *ANY* way. I do play multiplayer games, but I feel that they should be seperate from my single player experiences. They are simply too different gameplay styles and emotional moods to have any kind of connection.

I won't ever be playing ME3 multiplayer, nor will I buy the inevitable war assets DLC. If that compromises my ending, so be it. As it is, I was able to make the choice I wanted to (kill the reapers). Maybe that's the "worst" ending, but its "my" ending.

This. They have never acknowledged it. Right now their PR machine is focused on users angered over poor ending.

[streamlock]

What am I missing with the war asset thing? I completed all the side quests and stuff and as far as I know had more then enough.

Is it if you make some bad calls there is no way to 'make up' for it somewhere else outside multiplayer?

[insomniac13]

I haven't even touched multiplayer...

Is it really that important to the main story?

[SalsaDMA]

It's a feeble attack on the used games market. *shrug*

Money wants money, and in EA's case the drive for it never stops.

[Everwarden]

This issue would ****** me off royally if not for the fact that even the 'best' ending is still completely pathetic. So.. really, who cares? When they have an ending worth getting I'll worry about it.
