There is a definite adrenaline rush when you're extracting and stuff is coming at you. Also, it's just pure fun to me to shoot moving targets, throw them up the air, etc. ME3 combat is entertaining to me. And when the team gels just right, and everybody is doing their job properly, you feel like you're on top of the world.

I play MP because I like MP games with co-op. Never been a big fan of PvP because that relies on you being on top of your game all the time, whereas co-op focuses more on teamwork. (No, Team deathmatch games imo don't have the same teamwork component, if any).

I play because I have a PS3, so I don't have the first game. Once it comes out, I can finally make a perfect play through in a way that makes me understand what the hell is going on (the comic thing in ME2 just confused me).

I find it taps into some sort of basic addictive and hoarding part of my personality.
I never intended to really play the multiplayer, it just came with the single player campaign.    I only tried the MP one day in order to increase my readiness.  That was close to 6 months ago.  Now every time I start up the game thinking I'll go a bit farther on the SP... I see that readiness rating... and it's not at 100%... and I NEED it to be 100%...
Also, it's fun!  Image IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPB


I definitely agree with the addictive part.  I have found myself staying up too late and getting up early to play!! It is fun and the challenges make me feel like I have accomplished something when I get a banner

Mass Effect is probably my favourite game franchise of all time. The world just grabbed me and didn't let go. I love how brilliantly full the world feels.

I hated the ending, but that doesn't change the fact that I adored the other 99.9% of the series.

As for multiplayer... well, I didn't even want it in Mass Effect at all to begin with, but it's turned out to be one of the deepest multiplayer games I've ever played. It has all the classes and gameplay that I loved about the single-player campaigns, but it lasts forever.

I have a lot of unlocking left to do, more than a few characters and guns that I've not had a chance to use. I cannot play much though, few games and I'm good. Gold and Platinum and maybe only two. Though I like the multi I think it's lame that it's the only reason I'm going back to the game.

i play cause they continue adding stuff. in the beginning i only played MP due to the SP character import issue, and i liked it. then i moved on to SP, which was a quite forgettable experience and made me forget the whole game. i would never have touched the game again without free MP dlc but since earth i play veeery much again.

I continue to play because so long as I do it doesn't feel like Mass Effect 3 has ended and if it hasn't ended, then the terrible endings don't bother me very much. It feels like what I achieve through my characters still matters, not like they are all doomed regardless of what they do because Shepard puts a quarter into the "Endings vending machine" just after reading the "no refunds" sign on the glass but just before noticing all the good endings were sold out.

 Pretty simple, really: I still think it's fun. 

Or, to use a visual aid:

My reason right now?
Escapism.
Pure and simple.
I'm already invested in it and don't have the time or energy to invest in another game right now.
Being absolutely swamped with reports, Retaking tests (and failing them again), Job training and other stuff I really don't even have the time to play or even have leisure.
Least if I do a mission or 2 every now and then I can forget that I have 8 reports to write 2 due next week and after that a report a week... While doing the job training... Just venting and ranting at this point...

I am so screwed... so screwed.

The End.

I win.

If you play and it's not fun to you, you are a masochist

I have a mother in law. She has all the Mass Effect memorabilia, including a working Predator, meaning she has a gun. I have a head. I play for survival until she falls asleep.

Good thing she sucks with computers or she might see this. If anyone reading can, please send help. I fear no death, but death by Predator... what would my children think?

I find it is a good escape for me.  When I come home and start a match, I pretty much forget about everything thing else.  Even in a gold match, it still seems to relax me.  Sounds kinda weird doesn't it?

Seriously though, you sound like a very responsible person that has a lot going that will pay off for you in the end.  Good luck to you and I would play with you anytime!

I'm just stressed out... a lot.
I like being responsible but there are times I just blow up pure aggression in the missions.
That's also why I don't like playing with people I know or talk too much in missions. I may say something like ''out of missiles, use yours please'', but that's kinda it. Not much of a wisecrack in missions.

Although I haven't been this stressed out since... I dunno 2-3 years.
So maybe should take a break from the missions. Other peoples eardrums might be saved...
Oh and if this **** pays off someday it'll be a goddamn miracle. The quality of our curriculum feels like pure murder atm... and spring is worse. A test where out of 42 people only 2 people pass should kind of raise some alarm bells in the ****ing facualty!!

Gah sorry rave and rant and derail. Thanks for the kind words dood.

I am in college and I work, so I love the MP in ME3 because I can game with fellow peeps, but I don't become overly absorbed for hours like I do in Skyrim. In fact, I have to lay off Skyrim until this semester is over. Then I will pick up my Dragonborn persona once more!! =P Fus Ro Dah!!

You haven't experienced Skyrim untill you've modded it so badly it doesn't run or start anymore unless you're jabbing it with Script extender, FUS ROH DAHED Lydia off Throat of the world and my favorite PUNCHED A DRAGON IN THE FACE!

'Cause it's fun?

I like the variety of characters, weapons and builds. I play mix and match all the time. With the new challenge system, I can now track some of what I've done. That was a big upgrade for me. I love the teamwork when it's good. I like taking mixes others suggest and trying them out. Adapting them to my style or adapting my style to a particular weapon or skill.

For me, the manifest is not an end unto itself, it is a means to open up new ways to play the game.

I like taking a character from level 1 to level 20 and the different play style required along that journey.

To distill it all down, variety and teamwork make it fun for me and having fun is why I play.
