so I fail to why you are complaining about something you got for free??


So if you went to a restaurant and ordered a burger and one half of the patty was burnt and the other half was raw, you would just say, "Hey, it comes with a pickle!" and then happily eat the pickle and tell the cook how good the pickle was?


I paid for the whole patty to be cooked, so no, I wouldn't be okay with that. But if they threw in a second burger for free and it wasn't to my liking I would be hard-pressed to complain about it.

I paid for the SP, not the MP, as did just about everyone else. The SP is fine, minus their interpretation of an ending, so being able to play past the SP is extra and something you don't get with most games. They didn't ruin what I originally paid for, they didn't even ruin what they are giving us for free. If you don't like it then move on.

What started as a simple question thread is now getting in flame bait mode.

First of all i play because i have fun, except against the Geth though lol, second, i personally think Bioware did a very good job building multiplayer for ME3, yes it has flaws that im not going to get in to right now but at the end this is the best multiplayer experience i had in years, i have a lot of fun, i met a lot of awesome people so i can only thank bioware for that. I only wish that instead of giving more attention to balance changes they fix the bugs of the game first, but overall i think bioware was succesfull on implementing multiplayer in a game like Mass effect and i hope they will do this again in the next mass effect game with even more features like challenges inside mp, more armor customization, more enemies, game modes and so on.

Sorry moater boat, logic fail.

By playing MP, you are telling them they did a great job on MP.

It has no bearing whatsoever to SP.

There is nothiong wron with SP either other than the plot holes in the ending.  They are well aware of this, and are fixing it.


No, it is not a logic fail, must just be beyond your limited capacity for comprehension. First of all, it does have a bearing on SP (EMS), but that isn't even the point. The point is that the people at bioware want to make games that people like, by playing multiplayer we give them a pat on the back, one that they don't at all deserve.

Also there is plenty of things wrong with the game besides the horrible ending, this has been discussed in detail in the story forums.

It seems to me that playing multiplayer is the same as telling Bioware that you are happy with ME3...


For those of you that weren't happy with the way ME3 turned out, aren't you kind of sending the wrong message to bioware?

Edit:
maybe I am not being clear, don't you realize that by playing multiplayer you are telling bioware they did a good job, when they obviously didn't?

I really don't understand what you're trying to say.  Your conclusion is 100% subjective and is only your opinion. "When they obviously didn't"  You are obviously someone that isn't happy with the endings.  I myself had no problems with the endings and aside from that, the two are mutually exclusive.

I play multiplayer because I enjoy it and find it fun.  It has NOTHING to do with the single player game.  Two totally different things.  I would recommend keeping your bitterness to the general single player forums where you can complain more.

I play MP because its fun, i had not played a MP before and only did so because of the SP, once i had played a few games i started to enjoy it, my hubby even brought a copy so he could join me as i was having so much fun (now he moans when he plays COD because he is still thinking ME play style lol). i have been lucky with the people i have played with and thank them for reviving me when i die (especially on silver last night).

They did. Well, if you perhaps ignore several minor things (and things that depend on POV), everything up to the Death Beam was a great experience, in terms of story and gaming.


Wrong, but I am not going to go into it because this isn't the right forum. However, if you want to know what else sucked, there are no shortage of threads on that subject in the campaign/story forums.

apparently multiplayer attracts people who are incapable of answering simple questions...


OK. So tell me, what sort of answer were you hoping for?

Clearly you made this post looking a discussion with people that may or may not share the same sentiments you had for the game... Or just plain flame bait.

Let me ask you a question, what's the reason for this thread?

Answer me this, and you may actually get a serious answer from this extremely sarcastic person. ^_^

I like the gameplay my problems with the story but I guess I'll just take lemons and make lemonade and enjoy what's good and call it a day.

And those forums are exactly where you belong.  This is the MP forum where we come to talk about the MP game, not "Why are you guys playing this when BW failed so miserably on the SP game?"

Lock this crap up.

by posting my criticisms in the relveant threads and places for feed back im letting them know what i thought of me3 which is by my standards a dissapointing game and the worst in the series for more reasons than just the ending. 

multiplayer is however a seperate component of the game(regardless of what they say) and on the whole is pretty good it also gives me a way to enjoy mass effect without having to despair at the horrible dialogue system, broken story and the miriad of other issues in ME3.

I disagree with the bolded part. I'm not entirely happy with the product, but there are only a few aspects of it that I'm annoyed with. For the most part, I loved this game, and I do think Bioware did a good job on it.

The most important and obvious reason, though, which has absolutely nothing to do with what you said, is that it's fun. Who gives a **** what message it gives? The point of a game is to be fun. If it's fun, then why NOT play it?

Because I enjoy it. Why else would I play any game.

And for the record, I think BioWare did a great job with ME3. Sure, the ending was 'meh', but the missions are fun, there's plenty to do, it has reasonable replay value, the combat is great, the levelling system is good, the way it handles weapons and weapon mods is good, and some of the characters and subplots are fantastic.

As long as Extended Cut or whatever it's called is free- and remains so- I'll continue to call it my personal GotY.

I enjoy the combat and playing with others. There is no connection for me between sp and mp ME3. Also it isn't like we have had to buy anything yet with mp dlc so again I fail to see how that might be sending the wrong signals. The first and real test will come when we have to pay for something. Then again even mp is getting boring how many will still be around when that time comes.

The guy's just bitter and he is a prime example of why I avoid the story forums nowadays.  All it is whining and moaning about the endings and such.  He needs to go back there and be around other miserable posters.  This forum is for MP discussion.

I had a question about MULTIPLAYER, it's other people who continue to try and argue with me about the quality of the campaign. If you think the campaign was great, then just say, "I enjoyed the campaign, so your question doesn't apply to me", or better yet, just don't answer at all, because this question obviously has nothing to do with you.

But your question serves no point but to criticize BioWare because you are unhappy with ME3 in general. In your OP you said "...because they obviously didn't."

This has nothing to do with MP at all. It has everything to do with you trolling BioWare because you obviously have problems with the SP game.

I play it because its fun, its mass effect, and I already frickin paid for the thing so how us boycotting it going to harm them? Also why would I want to harm bioware? They are my favorite game developer by a landslide.

If you intent was to get feedback on why people are playing MP, why were the first few answers "wrong" in your opinion? They were directly answering you topic question, were they not?

The main story is over, and multiplayer allows me to feel as if I am still doing things within the Mass Effect universe. They will probably never make a game in which you choose your species and go through the campaign, so this is my closest shot.

Plus, my girl-friend is helpless without me blowing of the heads of all the enemies she forgets. :P

Yes I added that edit because people seemed to completely miss the point of the question. And if you think a thread that is based around the question "why do you play multiplayer?" has nothing to do with multiplayer... well I'm not even going to finish that sentence.

As for the statement "because obviously they didn't" They didn't do a good job, regardless of whether or not YOU liked it, enough people were sufficiently unhappy with it, that it is obvious that they didn't do a very good job of pleasing their customers, so regardless of your opinion, it is pretty well cemented that they dropped the ball, now will you please stop changing the subject. I am asking about why people who are unhappy with bioware choose to play MULTIPLAYER. If you want to discuss single player you are in the wrong forum.

I play because it's fun and strangely addicting. I don't know if it was BioWare's plan, but I don't care about the endings half as much as I did three months ago - or maybe I've just moved on.

Got to hand it to the dev team though, they really did a good MP game.

moater boat, what are you even doing here? You ask why people play the MP and turn it into a discussion about the single player campaign? If that's what you want to talk about, go back to the story forums or wherever whiners like you congregate. This forum is for discussion about the multiplayer. If people play the multiplayer, it's obviously because they enjoy playing the multiplayer. The single-player experience has no bearing on that enjoyability, and people aren't going to avoid having fun just because they want to send some sort of misguided message.

EDIT: YOU might, but that doesn't mean it makes sense. Bioware doesn't give a **** what one customer (IE you) does, and if you want to forego personal enjoyment out of some weird vendetta, that doesn't mean anyone else should tag along.

Why should we give two ****s about how pissed you are about the campaign here?

[that aside, fun fact: biggest plot holes in the series are in games 1 & 2, namely why did Saren need the conduit at all, since it lead to a place in the presidium that anyone could get to, why was Sovereign necessary if the collectors were around interacting with galactic society, and why didn't Sovereign recruit the Collectors as well as the Geth, since their stasis swarms could have eliminated all resistance inside? I still enjoyed the games, because I'm not a ****, and I understand the difference between fiction and reality.]

I have thoroughly enjoyed -- and am still thoroughly enjoying -- Mass Effect 3. I'm playing MP because it's fun.

Not everything you do is done to make a statement about something. You don't have to boycott MP just because you didn't like SP. But if that's what you want to do, fine; just leave the rest of us alone.

I play it with friends. It is a great time to cooperate and play together as a team. This was my first real game to do that for me. Previously I played single player campaigns. Opened up a whole new world for me.

I think that Bioware is getting the "messages" load and clear. People needed more answers to the ending and they are working on it. People are having fun playing the multiplayer so they are releasing new maps, etc.

We don't need "more answers" we need "less crappy storytelling"

You are not alone in being disappointed in the game. There are others that feel that way, but it is not correct to assume that because you feel that way everyone else should as well. I am genuinely happy with this game in all respects (SP and MP).

If you are happy with the game in all respects that is great for you, just realize that you are part of the minority.
