I think it's possible to get the best ending without multiplayer as long as you play the iOS game. They didn't lie, they just trolled you.

Wrong.

They litterally stated all levels of the endings would be availble through the single player experience.
In fact, they STILL state this in the ME3 FAQ.

Straight from the FAQ: "You can reach the highest levels of success in the single player
experience alone, but Galaxy at War gives you alternative ways to get
there."

Another one getting in before a lockdown!

This should have been sorted out ages ago - and I have no understanding of why Bioware haven't sorted it. I have said it before and will say it again - this being "fixed" will make a lot of SP players very happy.

I do not like MP and do not have the Apps (no iphone etc) so am stuffed until Bioware sort this out for us. If these other forms of play were required to access even the smallest part of the SP game then it should have been clearly stated on the games release so people could purchase the game fully aware of what they were buying and what was required. It wasn't and infact they said all parts were accessible via SP only.

So come on Bioware sort this out for us.....

The problem is fixed, but I am too lazy to inform you. Go do it yourself.

It's still relatively new. I still play ME1

[Elcor Pride]

Its pretty clear they're not gonna bother, I mean if they were wouldn't they have mentioned it? Or have they ?

[BatmanPWNS]

Cuz if they fix it then you aren't forced to play their MP, then you won't have to buy all their useless app games and then you won't have to stay logged into EA server. The whole purpose of galactic readiness is so Bioware can squeeze some money anyway.

The iOS game can be considered part of the single player experience since it is a single player game that influences the main game. My statement is still valid. If BioWare considers the iOS game as part of the single player experience, then they simply deceived players, which is not entirely the same as lying.

Also, it's only a game. Calm down. Shooting down any comment from someone who is half-joking would be a full time job.

The apps are not part of the single player experience. They DO add to galaxy at war, however, and this is also stated on the pages concerning them (feel free to read up on them on the official mass effect site). But since Galaxy at War is considered to be an ALTERNATIVE to the single player experience, Bioware own words refute you.

Nice try, though

Your statement would be valid if in the game advertising it stated that you needed a smartphone and the app to access all possible endings.

For your reference:
Definition of "Deceive" To cause to believe what is not true; mislead
Definition of "Lie" 1. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood.2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.

They look pretty much the same thing semantically

Caps lock is not a magic tool that will make Bioware listen. Everyone knows the Bioware-Listen-Spell is only castable by a level 61 Sentinel. It's obvious that if by now they haven't done something to fix it, they don't plan to.

I thought the app added war assets. My mistake then.

Just want to point out that while I encourage alternative reading of BioWare comments (they are often ambiguous), I do not approve of their ethics and I agree that EMS should be fixed, especially because EA closes game servers after several years.

Mutltiplayer content is more profitable than single player content.

I'm calling it now: The Single player game will have less DLC content than Mass Effect 2 did.

I guess it would be foolish to hope that the next Mass Effect game will be singleplayer-only again...

I think I read somewhere that either EA or Bioware (probably EA) has said that multiplayer will be a part of most of their games in the future.  I can't remember where I read it or I would go and verify it and post a link, so I may be wrong.

That said.  I personally, enjoy MP so it's not a huge problem for me.  Coming in to ME3, I wasn't an MP player but I wanted the 'best' ending (which is destroy+organics on the ground not dying+breath cut-scene) so I had a go of MP and enjoyed it immensly.  I now have many more hours there than in the SP game which I've only played through twice.  Also, I have an iPhone.  I don't enjoy the ME: Infiltrator game, maybe if I had an iPad instead that would be different, but the Datapad app, I've found useful occasionally, not for the galaxy at war minigame, but because it has the ME3 complete Codex on it which helps when I'm posting here about things in game.

I am willing to forgive them for the EMS lies, if they buy me an Ipad, totally fine by me

Mike Gamble recently tweeted this...

"Of the 3 choices, you have access to all 3 with just SP. You are not limited that way."


This was the man who said in a private tweet to a single fan that he was 'investigating the issue'.
Now he says this... and proves he clearly isn't investigating (among other things).

So the whole reason our mega-thread was closed down and we were all pushed to the (confirmed unofficial) tech support forums, was all for naught.

I have seriously never felt more disrespected by a company in my life, especially one I once held so dear to my heart.

That must be the most completely stupid quote ever. Really? You don't think that showing whether Shepard lives or dies is a big enough limitation on the interpretation of the ending?? Shepard, your main protagonist for over 100 hours of gameplay?

No wonder the ending ****ing bombed and people wanted unicorns and rainbows.

"You are not limited that way" now goes into the "BioWare Quotes to Forget"  bin together with "Lots of speculation for everyone!!"

Well, you can't get any more clear cut than this issue.  The ending quotes are one thing, but we were specifically promised that we could attain all endings through SP alone, which is not possible.

The convenient 'server hiccup' that removed Jarret Lee's sticky was fortunate, as that implicated them directly.
Unfortunately there are enough interviews, articles, blog posts, and videos with them claiming otherwise that I'm sure a strong case could be built.

Case in point;  pre-release interview with Mac Walters by the Financial Post, where he specifically says that every gameplay ending is available in SP alone and that multiplayer isn't required.


But here's the crappy thing about the 'law' in our capitilist North America... he who has the most money, wins.
With EA's deep pockets and lawyers, they could beat down any case thrown at them no matter how legitimate.

It's so disheartening... I would expect this kind of thing from other companies, but never from Bioware.
It just goes to show that the Bioware we used to know is dead.

[ZombifiedJake]

They don't care.

[Verit]

It's not acceptable that they're staying silent about this. People were worried that this might happen before release, yet even after assuring us they wouldn't lock out singleplayer content, the final game does exactly that.  "We're looking into it" doesn't mean anything, especially that long after release. They haven't even acknowledged the issue, but continued to state it was possible to reach 5000 EMS even after people had determined it wasn't. Now that it's painfully obvious their statements were "incorrect" (to put it nicely), they resorted to not responding at all and just locking threads. And it's not like this is a difficult thing to fix, they're just numbers. If people can hack their savegames to change the numbers, then it can't exactly be difficult for Bioware to change the EMS values of the war assets either. So either they don't care, or they really are trying to force people to play multiplayer. Neither of those reasons are something I would have expected to see from Bioware, yet here we are, all this time after release and still no real answer from them.
