1. Do you usually play single player or multiplayer games?
Multiplayer has more staying power, especially PvP, but single player tends to have more narrative.
So both.

2. What agegroup do you belong to:
B) 18-25

3. Do you play ME3 multiplayer:
c) Less than 5 hours per week

4. Do you play ME3 multiplayer mainly on:
a) Xbox

5. Do you like the shop system with random cards? (Yes or no).
Yes.

6. Why do you keep playing ME3 multiplayer (choose the one that describes you the best):
d) Just enjoying how the game "feels"

7. Would you have played so far without MP DLC's?
No.

8. Would you have played so far without weekly challenges?
Likely not.

9. Do you do any roleplaying in your mind when playing ME3 multiplayer?
In-between waves and in lulls of combat, maybe. When I'm shooting things, there's no reason to. It's distracting.

10. If you had to choose, would you rather play (in a good team):
B) 11 memorable (in a good way) waves and get 45.000 creds

11. Which of these is the most important to you?
c) Fun game

12. Would you rather have as a new weapon:
B) One ultra rare that has different kind of function, but not standing out as "the weapon of choice" (functions for example like acolyte or kishock)

13. If you had to kick one player on gold difficulty after a match you won, who would it be:
B) Veteran player, with N7 of over 9000 with bad attitude against others and bragging about his/her skills trough the game

14. Do you like to finish the extraction wave or just get it over with?
Prefer to extract, but won't sweat the medi-gel.

1) Usually SP games. For MP, Mass Effect, Halo, and SW Battlefront are my go-tos.
2) a
3) It has been a, but since school started has gone to c.
4) PC
5) No, but it doesn't bother me that much.
6) d, it's fun!
7) Yeah.
8) Probably.
9) A little bit, but it's not my focus.
10) b, I would much rather enjoy myself than get credits.
11) c, but b is a close second.
7?) b, variety is nice.
12) b, I don't like Leet jerks.
13) Finish Extraction, no one likes to see a failure screen.

1. SP

2. B

3. A or C (kinda off and on about it)

4. A

5. No (but I already have so many rares maxed out at this point I could care less, check my manifest for details)

6. D (how it feels? I'm hoping this is the "I play for fun" answer)

7. Probably, 90% yes.

8. Yes.

9. Just a little, privatly.

10. B

11. Let me answer this as a Most Enjoyable to Least Enjoyable list: C, B, D, A. I want to have fun. If no one is bothered by cheating and it even helps make the game more enjoyable for everyone then I'm ok with it (Borderlands). Otherwise I do not approve. (Rocket Glitch)

12. A or B, depending on the special function (odd question, but ok)

13. B, every day of the week.

14. Yes. I never die on purpose.

Good luck on your thesis. I have a cusion who just got his Dr. in Physics, he said it was the most difficult thing he has ever done. (^_^)

1. Do you usually play singleplayer or multiplayer games?
Mixture of both.  Perhaps I enjoy MP slightly more.


2. What agegroup do you belong to:

c)  26-35

3. Do you play ME3 multiplayer:

a) More than 10 hours per week

4. Do you play ME3 multiplayer mainly on:

a) Xbox

5. Do you like the shop system with random cards? (Yes or no).
I'm sorry, but although it is frustrating at times, I neither like nor dislike it.

6. Why do you keep playing ME3 multiplayer (choose the one that describes you the best):

d) Just enjoying how the game "feels"

7. Would you have played so far without MP DLC's?
Hard to say.  To be honest, probably yes.  I don't share the same feelings most people do when they create threads on how jaded they have become with the game.

8. Would you have played so far without weekly challenges?


Yes

9. Do you do any roleplaying in your mind when playing ME3 multiplayer?


Aside from ingame Krogan headbutts, Vorcha breakdancing, or Destroyer high fives (light melee), not really, though I would love to spontaneously pole dance between waves as an Asari.

10. If you had to choose, would you rather play in a good team:
a) 5 easy waves and get 99.000 creds
B) 11 memorable (in agood way) waves and get 45.000 creds
Tough choice, but I'd opt for B.  A sounds like it could be boring.


11. Which of these is the most important to you?
a) Challenging game
c) Fun game
Sorry, can't choose just one.


7. Would you rather have as a new weapon:
B) One ultra rare that has different kind of function, but not standing out as "the weapon of choice" (functions for example like acolyte or kischook)


12. If you had to kick one player on gold difficulty after a match you won, who would it be:

B) Veteran player, with N7 of over 9000 with bad attitude against others and bragging about his skills trough the game, but pretty much carried all of you
How could playing with someone with a bad attitude ever be fun? 


13. Do you like to finish the extraction wave or just get it over with?

I prefer going for extraction, but I'd rather not waste consumables in doing so.  It also depends on the lobby.  If anyone is under level 20, I'll go all out, even using consumables.

Thank you for your time Image IPB.


You're welcome.  Now, based on the evidence I've given you, tell me how many people I've killed in the last 3 1/2 years.

8. They're nice, but not dealbreakers. Sure.

9. No.

10. Honestly, probably A.

11. C

7 part 2:  A.

12. B. I will kick the s*** out of you if you're just an arrogant schmo who thinks he's doing everybody a favor.

13. Get it over with. I'm 20, he's 20, that guy's 20, the random guy's 20, and I get kicked off of the servers way too much as it is to risk my payday on a pointless enemy rush mode. In fact, me and my friends have a race to see who can bleed out the fastest after the wave 10 objective is completed.

I buy for the campaign, I stay for the multiplayer. Probably multiplayer.

Yes


6. Why do you keep playing ME3 multiplayer (choose the one that describes you the best):
a) Trying to max all guns
c) Trying to accomplish all challenges
d) Just enjoying how the game "feels"

7. Would you have played so far without MP DLC's?

No. Without the incentive of future content, the MP would have died out months ago.

8. Would you have played so far without weekly challenges?

Yes, but they've helped.

9. Do you do any roleplaying in your mind when playing ME3 multiplayer?

With my girlfriend, yes. :D

10. If you had to choose, would you rather play in a good team:
B) 11 memorable (in agood way) waves and get 45.000 creds
^ Only provided that the team is good. If I'm carrying, I'd like the 5 waves 99000 payout.

11. Which of these is the most important to you?
B) Fair game 
c) Fun game

7. Would you rather have as a new weapon:

B) Veteran player, with N7 of over 9000 with bad attitude against others and bragging about his skills trough the game, but pretty much carried all of you
^ It's a game. Bad attitude makes the game not fun.

13. Do you like to finish the extraction wave or just get it over with?
I'll usually finish.

Happy to elaborate on any point. I hope this helps.

10. B) 11 memorable (in agood way) waves and get 45.000 creds

11. c) Fun game
12. Neither.  That's a choice between a weapon that would ruin the diversity of the game and a weapon I would never use.  So I guess if I had to pick I would pick a unique weapon that I would never use.
13. B) Veteran player, with N7 of over 9000 with bad attitude against others and bragging about his skills trough the game, but pretty much carried all of you
14. Full extraction!

6. D, with a touch of A.
7. No.
8. Yes.
9. A little bit.
10. B
11. C
12. B, as long as it was still worthy of being UR
13. B. Realistically, I'd just leave the lobby. I'd be happy to show a newbie the ropes but not on gold.
14. Whichever the rest of the team goes with. Extracting is fun but I've lost my earnings on wave 11 disconnects enough to happily consumate with a banshee if that's everyone else's prerogative.
