I understand the number crunching.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to have missed when I finished the game. I confronted IM and got my choice of 3 final options - these numbers mean there was something more to Sheppard's story?

I'm pretty sure the "extra" war assets are going to be in future DLC.

"Retake Omega! and get their ezo mining for +50 assets!! isn't that worth the $10 for it?!?!! of course it is!"

Although let's all take a step back for a minute..... why bother with trying to max the assets? the endings don't justify them.

Load up youtube to see an ending you can't get..... all 10 seconds of it!
and play whatever quests you like and whatever you don't like... you'll miss nothing

[VolusvsReaper]

Unless something major changes with future DLC, achieving a "Perfect" ending in Mass Effect 3 is kind of a nil point....besides isn't the difference only a 5 second breath clip?

[devSin]

Indeed. It's a shame people are still having to do all this legwork themselves to "prove" it, when we've been showing and saying that it's impossible for nearly a month now. It's ridiculous that anybody who works for BioWare continues to claim that it's possible, and it's disappointing that they continue to refuse to acknowledge this.

Thanks to you, OP, for putting in the effort of researching it yourself (something BioWare so far seems unwilling to do), and to providing your data to everyone else.

Right now, it's the principle of the thing. But more importantly, what happens when the extended Cut is released? Are we going to miss out on even more?

Hmm... The multiplayer is awesome. I don't know why someone who loves Mass Effect wouldn't want to experience more of it, but to each their own.

What the OP says is true though. I did damn near everything in the game and didn't come close to 4000 EMF. It was around 2900. Just a 2 hours of MP pushed it over 4000 though.

[Tietj]

Sigh... But some of us can't play multiplayer, because of slow connections or no XBOX Gold account and blah blah blah I'm sick of making what should really be a very obvious point.

And there are plenty of people who don't like multiplayer, and if the devs said we wouldn't need it, we shouldn't need it.

It IS awesome, I do enjoy it, and I love playing it.

However, BioWare said that there would be enough assets to get the best ending without being forced to play MP. There aren't.

That is something that needs to be addressed and corrected.

Maybe that is a reason why people don't like EA. It's messed up that in order to see all SP content, you have to either buy DLC or play MP (which could get you to buy MP crap) or play an app on an iPhone.

I don't like being forced to spend time or money to get the SP content. It's not right.

[bluewolv1970]

and yet no one from Bioware will respond or acknowledge...just another example of false advertisement

[Edrick1976]

I really wish I could return my ME3 but I got it with their Origin deal and I am regretting it bigtime.

[Tietj]

We have a better chance of getting a response if we stay firm but non-accusatory. I really think this was just a mistake and if they just admitted it, or said they would look into it without being dismissive, we would mostly be fine with it.

i feel the same way. on my first play through i got 3 choices at the end without playing any multiplayer, and i thought that was the best ending. what am i missing here?

[Tietj]

An extra scene at 4000 EMS, possibly expanded in the extended cut.

An admittedly short but potentially important scene at the very end.

Watch it here, starting at 7:56 (CRAZY MEGA SPOILERS obviously):

There are those of us that play Mass Effect for the storyline alone. And MP has no story. And then there are those who have ridiculous latency issues due to living in the depths of nowhere, and can't play at all. There are many reasons. Don't assume you know everything.

[oblique9]

This, and everything else, it's almost like Bioware was hoping people wouldn't play the SP campaign...

[Siduri]

I consider this a serious issue too. I have no interest in MP and I don't own an iPhone. It's ludicrous that I should be penalized so heavily for failing to buy into the add-ons for what has been a *single player* franchise since its inception. If I wanted a multiplayer game I would have bought one.

[Banelash]

I hope they learn never to mix MP with SP ever again. Seriously, seemed like a novel idea, but they could have made it better by just increasing the default rating to 60-70%

[metawanderer]

I hope that sometime in the future (a year or two down the road), they will take out the Galactic Readiness percentage in the Single Player Campaign. If I wanted to play this game five years from now, I would hate if I was not able to complete the game the way I wanted because EA's servers will be offline.

Sry kind of small was taken on my phone as I play on 360. This is a perfect ME1 to ME3 play through for max war assets. Note I don't play MP nor do I have the IOs apps, so there is points there that are missing. I you have any questions PM me and I can answers them. EMS is 3707

As stated in the OP, you can get slightly higher than this, not that it really matters. But I think we should keep things consistent. The less conflicting information on this the better.

[Doctor_Jackstraw]

What do you want Bioware to say?  "Sorry, we're going to increase the turian war asset by 800 to help people get the best ending."  lame  :-\\

[Shephard Vas Eleen]

Agreed
