Too bad this requires an IOS device.

What's so bad about multiplayer again? most of the people are silent and will try to help you win so that your ems goes up. The only way you could lose would be either playing on too high a dificulty, not attempting to get the hang of multiplayer teamwork or combat, and not aknowledging that you aren't good at it and not sticking close to someone else while they're playing. There is the factor of not having an xbox live account but you don't seem to actually be in this camp so I can't see how that affects your experince.

You only need to get your percent up to 60 to get the good destroy ending, and that's just 3 matches on bronze. Plus it's fun to roleplay with your multiplayer character, like I did for my ex SIU batarian sentinel, an exiled freedom fighter forced to work with what's left of the hegemony's forces for the sake of the galaxy.

What's bad about multiplayer is that I don't like multiplayer. I play games to get away from dealing with other people, not to do more of it.

[xsdob]

But not every person is someone you have to avoid. I have never seen so many people so dedicated to teamwork and making sure everyone gets out alive than in the multiplayer.

I once got caught in a gold match with a class and weapon I never tried before and wasn't good at, and the other much more skilled player helped me throughout the entire match, they even saved me form dying when I had made the noob mistake of charging into the enemy.

COD players don't try to save their teammates, GOW player don't do it for people who make noob mistakes, ME3 player do, some are dicks but the rest are saints in my book.

I don't understand all the consternation about not being able to get "the best ending". Literally the only difference between the non-MP best ending and the MP best ending is a couple of seconds suggesting that Shep somehow survived the massive explosion of the Citadel. That's it. People have speculated that possibility even without seeing those few, precious seconds.

There are so many other things you can complain about... This really strikes me as a non-issue.

It's because Bioware a) altered the SP campaign based on points achieved through MP and lied about it.

It doesn't matter how much of a difference it makes. The point is that Bioware explicitly stated several times before release that MP was an extra feature that would not be required for the game itself. They told us all endings would be achievable using SP alone. They lied.

Even worse is that they're unwilling to acknowledge this. They spent the first month and a half after release shouting that the "best" ending was achievable through SP only. Even put up a sticky about it on BSN. Then players went digging through the game files and found proof that the war assets don't add up to the required number. The next day the sticky disappeared and Bioware went into absolute radio silence on the issue.

I honestly don't care about those few seconds at all. For me the game ends when Shepard dies alongside Anderson as the Crucible does its job. All the same, I'm still going to be "consternated" when my favorite RPG producer decides to force me back into the MP environment I thought I'd escaped when I quit WoW two years ago. And then refuses to acknowledge what they're doing by hiding behind lies first and silence second.

EXACTLY! This is why I'm angry about it. I hate being lied to...

There's kind've a big difference in narrative between "the protagonist died" and "the protagonist lives"

Directly from the FAQ at http://www.masseffect.com/about/faq/

What if I am not good at / do not like multiplayer? Will my readiness rating go down?

    ME3 is a story about a war against overwhelming force where the most you can hope for us survival. The more you do to fight that war, the more you can change that story into a more optimistic one.
    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.
    It's about choice, and allowing players to find their own ways to stay immersed in the Mass Effect universe.

I think people have a right to be mad

I like the "the most you can hope for is Survival" in that FAQ given the fact you DON"T SURVIVE!!!

If I wanted to fight with other people I'd have gone to a FPS online game for free not payed $80 for a single player

Okay.

I gained best possible ending with only 50 glactic readiness. I spend hours doing annoying fetch quests on the Citadel, getting annoyed with Jacob "Ran off with another woamn" Taylor and almost punching that "Big Stupid Jellyfish" to get the best possible ending.

Actually I actually enjoyed all the side missions. A hand full of Citadel quests were actually fun too. Getting the mercenaries on board, the Zaeed and Kasumi cameos were fun. But "Damn if only I had this book, then I'll happily hand over my five ships to the war effort", was annoying.

But that reaper chase through the systems was a fun minigame in a video game that is literally starved of minigames. The only downside is going up and down the citadel after every mission to hand over items that "might" give me war assets. About 40% of them just gave me some experience and money.

I wanted to tell one of the citizens "no more war assets? I went into the depths of reaper occupied territory, almost got my crew killed to get you this precious artifact that you so dearly love. And in return you give me a handful of experience pionts?"

A more fun way to get the best ending is spending hours online choosing your favourite class and then promoting them for the war assets and galactic readiness. But I guess me being a completionist means that I want do play errand boy/girl just for the experience points. Besides I can only reach level 59 on an imported playthrough, despite pumping hours into the playthrough.

I loved the single player. I got closure for the Krogan and Geth/Quarian arcs. Sure some of the resolutions involve genocide which Javik actually applauds you for "In war we must make sacrifices" but at least I got the sense of achievement. In fact those two arcs are my favourite parts of the main campaign. You wanted consequences for past actions in ME 1 & 2. Well this delivered.

To deal the final blow to Cerberus and kill that stupid Kai Leng with your omniblade (yes even Adept and Vanguard Shepards bring out the omniblade) was worth it. Though my words wouldn't be "This is for Thane" or "This is for Captain Kirrahe". I would say "This is for wasting my time you Bosh Tet!"

Also a pro tip. Did you take Javik to Thessia? Definitely worth it.

Opertaion Earth was basically playing Wave 10 on Silver Difficulty. An area flooded with Brutes, Banshees and Ravagers. Then followed by a dissapointing ending. Still for the reasons above, I loved single player. I've done three playthroughs and I'm on my fourth!

Multiplayer is great fun. I've only unlocked my 7th class though. Spectre and Superior Spectre Packs aren't delivering on the class front (except for more costumes). The weapons are great though.

Ok we're going to need proof of over 4000ems at 50% readiness as literally no one has proved it's possible, though many have claimed

If you are on PC or 360 then use the gibbed editor and manipulate your saves. With that you don't need MP.

Tying MP to the SP was a cheap tactic to get people to play MP. I did play it but I've always played solo. I'm more annoyed by the decaying galactic readiness. Fine you got me to play MP, but that's no reason to make me keep playing as long as I'm playing SP.

You don't know that he's definitely dead in any of the other endings.  You don't have incontrovertible proof that he's alive in the "good" ending.  Not a big difference.

Then you increased your TMS past 8000 minimum by promoting spec ops teams to your single player game.  *edit* looking at your manifest, it is not possible for you to get the Alternate Destroy ending, did you mean Synthesis?

Yeah, I noticed that earlier.  This is hardly the only thread with major spoilers in this section, too.  Further evidence that the moderators close threads based mainly on personal preferences or the alignment of the stars or what they had for breakfast and not on any set of "rules".
