Is it wrong i have never really played SP?

But I am approaching 400 hrs of MP?

[Talon1571]

Single player?

Oh ... yeah ... Now I remember, damn it.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the multiplayer of ME3 since I got the game. I bought it expecting the MP to be aweful, and the SP to be amazing - especially the ending. Boy was I surprised.

[Taritu]

Any more? Once I started playing MP, I hardly played SP. That isn't just a reflection of how good MP is, it's a reflection of the fact that, imo, SP has significant problems (and not just the ending.) Such a disappointment. MP redeemed the game for me.

Since the ME3 single player disappointed me from the beginning to the end i haven't really played in a long time until the Citadel dlc came out and it fixed one of the top things i hated about me3 which was the ME2 squad getting side lined and their stupid reasons not to be able to help Shepard. I feel this dlc should have been in the vanilla game in the first place. Me3 single player has no replay ability unlike the first two games sadly.


So yea, there is nothing wrong with only playing multiplayer when it comes to Mass Effect 3.

I had done a second play through of the final mission just to comprehend wtf just had transpired. Frankly, me2 is my favorite in the series. Will do a run through once I have free time. Will kill Jacob this time though!

[LoonySpectre]

I've clocked much, MUCH more time in multiplayer than in singleplayer.

I can't play single player anymore, that story is over. I get sad just thinking about it.

This.

* I loved SP soooo much, up till this game.
 
* I had never played multiplayer anything, up till this game.

Most atrocious, gut ripping, callous, and self serving way to end a franchise. After all my work I watched the fate of my character taken out of my hands.

Now they offer DLC you can pay for to make you feel better about the story they screwed?!  F*** That! It should have been inserted in the original game I payed $80 for as a Collectors Pack.

I want to play SP sooo bad, but I can't. Not like this...  For ME3 it is MP or nothing.

ME3 ending gave me 2 weeks of depression.
Once I max my MP manifest again I am gonna starte ME2 -> ME3 with all DLCs again though.

The ending still depresses me to no end and I've mainly been playing the MP. Gotta love the MP.


When I do go back playing the trilogy, I most definitely won't be playing the ME3 without the MEHEM mod. Thank God for that.

I'm apparently in the minority regarding the ending. Sure it had its problems, mostly that none of my built up allies had anything to do with any battles and none of the choices I made over the 3 games mattered, but I kind of felt like that WAS the entire point of the ending.

No matter what you do, no matter how hard you fight, no mtter how close you are to understanding and stopping them, the Reapers win. The Reapers re built on a system of redundancies and backup plans. In the event that a species does figure it out in time to save themselves, they ultimately fall into the trap. You are given three equally systematic choices: 1.) "Control" aka Subservance, 2.) Assimilation or 3.) Annihilation.

Most players seem to think the ending was cheap & shallow, but I think it shows the depth of control the Reapers have over the galaxy. No, its not perfect. But what is, ever?

[Mad Scientist]

I'm kinda in the same boat as you, OP. Played through ME1 at least half a dozen times, also played ME2 to death, trying different classes and builds. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said I played it a hundred times. Now we have ME3. 400+ hours played in MP and 1.5 completed playthroughs in SP. The ending killed it for me that I still don't feel like finishing my 2nd playthrough, even with EC and all other DLC's installed.

[jamdjedi]

ME3 ending was FINE I really don't understand all the crying and raging about it.. society wants to be spoon fed EVERYTHING. He died saving the Universe, seems legit to me. I personally was fine with the original ending- some text like after DA Origins sorta like 'where are they now' would have been an easy tie up. Sure when some of your team magically appeared on the ship when it crash landed was ' OK how did THAT happen weird'.. I thought EA acquiesced to all the QQ fans nicely with the longer ending. ME 3 was still a great game one of the best games ever made period..

[Omnifarious Nef]

Not at all. Another victim of the ending here... The only reason I even still have ME3 is because of the MP.

[Bendigoe]

Well there's nothing to do anymore.
I figured the Citadel DLC could keep me coming back and I feel that's what Bioware Intended.
Within 2 and a bit hours I'd maxed Armax and got the highest score and subsequently SP lost It's only replayability for me, after about 7 playthroughs =/

[krknight]

is it wrong that i haven't even talked to a single person in the lobby on my campaign?

[10bears]

ME3 SP was too depressing. And the ending botched. I played Mass1 a dozen times. Mass2 half dozen. Mass3 1 time. MP is all that's left.

If it wasn't for Multiplayer my copy of ME3 would be collecting dust. My enjoyment of the SP was nowhere as close to the masterpiece known as Mass Effect 2.

so much this!

I don't necessarily hate the ending. I chose Synthesis, and I was, for the most part, satisfied with the story, (aside from forgetting to talk to Kasumi and Samara and somehow having them be killed) but I don't really want to replay because I know all of the endings and what happens. There is no feeling of "How will it all end this time?" It's more of a "Which ending will I choose..."

But I'm very happy to receive these words of encouragement and glad to know other people feel similarly to me. I may do another playthrough eventually, but for now I'm going to keep with multiplayer and enjoy it.

[HLP46]

Jup, ME3 SP is an atrocity. It's so bad that it has hardly any replay value. I have also only 1 playthrough and a half that i couldn't even bring myself to finish.

[RxP4IN]

Say what you will about the ending (and you should), but the SP was a travesty from the start. Auto-dialogue? Why? If you play renegade, it makes for a very schizoid Shepard.

MP all day, err day...

[silencekills]

 I sure hope not, pretty much all I did once I beat the game forever ago, only breaking for DLCs.

[weaselshep]

Lots of people are in that position now.

I myself found the EC endings to be passable enough to warrant other playthroughs. Personally ME1 is still the one I enjoy the most anyway.

[Alijah Green]

it is ok OP I haven't played SP since ME2, waiting for the servers to go off first

To me, the ending of Dragon Age: Origins is everything a game ending should be, and that is not just because of the 'where are they now' part at the very end, as you call it. Adding that part to the end of ME3 is something BW should have done in the first place and it shouldn't have taken them massive fan protests and an extended cut to do so.

But what made DA:O's ending so great, is that in this game I felt my choices really did matter. Sure, you always stop the blight in the end, but how you do that varies greatly and depending on your character's background, your love interest and your choices in the game you get several completely different endings, in comparision to the red/green/blue s**t we got in the original ME3 ending, leaving us without any consequences or explanations at all. 

Furthermore, the allies you win in DA:O actually help you in the final battle of the game, unlike in ME3 where they only appear for a second or two in a cut scene, but nothing more, making you wonder why you even spend so much time on getting them. And don't even get me started on the entire BS Crucible story. 


I've played all of the dlc and started ME1 again the other day to do a complete trilogy playthrough, but so far I didn't get very far as I rather play ME3 MP instead. The Mass Effect universe is probably the best thing that happened to science fiction in ages, but for me it only lives on in the MP, not in the SP. Who knows what will happen once ME4 comes around, but until then I'm emotionally done with the campaign.

Team of devs for ME3 MP > Team who threw ME3 SP together

Also: not one single $ on any paid DLC(Since Arrival)  Sorry, but SP was just too insulting to me and my fellow ME fanatics
