Mass Effect is not only my favorite game series (regardless of how painful the ending is) but its also the only game I play online. If it wasn't Mass Effect, I wouldn't still be playing. Its fun. Oh, and credits. Gotta get credits.

I'm whatever Mass Effect needs me to be.

I play because I love the Mass Effect universe and don't really care for many other online games. I am very picky about the online games that I play.

The cooperative aspect is a big draw. With a good squad, I can cover someone else's back worrying less about someone ganking me. The weapons selection is also interesting, considering some of the weapons and mods (like the thermal scope) we haven't seen yet in campaign. It's also the only chance thus far we've had to play someone in the ME universe that wasn't Commander Shepard (specific to main games, and not including Joker's sequence of course). Playing as a Volus, Vorcha, Quarian, or Geth is just plain fun. I hate to admit it, but the new challenges system kinda has me hooked too. Anybody else put in a few extra hours JUST to get that Halloween special?

Well, I only just picked it up again about two weeks ago (after my endingrage finally cooled down enough--yeah it took that long).  Mostly, I play for funzies, but it's also nice to run into cool people and blow off some Cerberus heads with them.

Quite a few reasons....

First MP - always pounded the hours into SP over the years

Have almost as much fun talking with friends as playing the game, there are some great and interesting people on the forum

Semi-Retired.....walk the dog, play a few games:)

The variety at this point is extremly good

Tried a couple of other games after this one.....they just don't cut it for me.

I like that as well.  I did try a FPS online a couple of times and did not get the same feel of being part of a team. The whole mission construction (computer upload, escort, switches) seems to lend itself to forming a team.  I frequently will text randoms I play with when they are really good team players.

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.


yep I have been there too! Sometimes it seems like they do not want anyone to pass.  But, I just looked at it like I am going to do my best and thats all I can do.  If you know you give it your best shot, you really can't expect any more than that from yourself. Hope it all turns out good for you. I would still play with you. Image IPB

When I get too enraged about Dota 2 and how bad I'm in it, I go back to ME3MP, because it's easy, and I'm having fun just playing as my favorite race. (Try to guess which...)

Co-op games are a real rarity nowadays and this happens to be one I greatly enjoy and has great support from both the community and the developers. It has so many weapons/classes that you can make each match feel completely different by choosing a different role.

It is so satisfying when your team synergizes perfectly and walks around the map destroying everything foolish enough to spawn. And then you also have those nerve-wracking moments when you have to carry a wave and are desperately running for cover from angry giant crabs after being taken down to healthgate.

Still on a mad quest to max out my manifest. Weekly release of new DLC character helps, at least something new and progressive. It was pretty boring before Retaliation. Now I still got a few weapons mod to unlock, that's nice inbetween the Ultra Rare.

Loving it so far, the new characters still interesting.

I play it because I find it fun, and I'll keep playing it as long as I find it fun.

That said Natural Selection 2 came out, so for the next little while games that aren't that don't really exist to me.

This.

They really managed to get a good 'feel' to the combat in MP. Honestly, I think the combat in SP isn't quite as good - it feels more like set piece combat, with all the pausing. The combat in MP is always bang-bang and in your face. There's just something about the tempo of it that just feels so good. 

Also, I think the revive mechanic delivers a lot of thrills. Knocking back an enemy just before they stomp, clearing the kill zone of enemies, and then rushing in and getting the revive just before they bleed out is one of the greatest thrills any game has ever given me. Just did this last night on Ghost. Friendly was down and about to be stomped, and all in one smooth motion I came running up and hit a would-be stomper with concussive shot, bounced a frag grenade across the ground to kill three Marauders surrounding the position, and then lept over some cover to smoothly transitioned to the revive. Upon conclusion I emptied a burst into the concussed enemy to finish him off. I felt awesome.

That's really what it is. When it's not making me feel like an inept idiot, this game makes me feel like I'm awesome.

I play games to to beat them. I am a completionist and once I put a decent amount of time into something, I have to finish it. I also love working towards things like reaching max level (or max manifest in this games case) and then stepping back to see what I have accomplished. Since I'm not too great at anything else in life, I figure that I should be good at something. And since this game really rewards being a completionist (Max manifest being better than a 'half way there' manifest,and all) It naturally has drawn and kept my attention for several months.

It's decent fun so long as you don't play it day-in-day-out. I have enough gear at this point (and have for a long time) that I don't feel like I absolutely need new stuff. There are some weapon mods I'd like to get and upgrade, but as far as getting anything else, I don't care about too much. So long as I have some friends to play with I enjoy the MP well enough (playing with randoms means your basically only in it for the credits. Not very fun, IMO).

My wife asks me this about once a week and she does have a point. Spending real time to obtain virtual money to spend on virtual stuff for virtual characters so that they can kill virtual enemies more quickly does seem a bit silly. However, the game play is not really the reason I continue to play. The banter among friends is quite funny, and a real laugh is worth $, time, and effort.

I was a rabid Mass Effect fan for a long, long time (Oh, you have NO idea... lol), and when I got deeply into MP I had to get my husband into Mass Effect. Now he plays MP matches with me, and I've convinced him to work his way through all 3 games so that he knows what I've been raving about for so long. Those above who mentioned a love of the game in its entirely, I agree with you. I want to share it with people. It's like reading a fantastic book that you keep revisiting because it holds a certain magic for you.

The reason I'm still playing is probably addiction, but, eh, what can you do.

The game is awesome, Mass Effect always had a great combat system *Even in those ME2 days, but we'll even talk about that* but the multiplayer, IMO, offers more than single player really. In SP your so invincible and after having every button ever, it's kinda hard to get any challenge out of it. In multiplayer it's teamwork or die(or run halfway across the map every other minute for an hour or more).
