Which doesn't explain your absolutely unnecessary and innate need to continue to rant if you needed nothing more than a clarification. Rational people merely ask the question and then remain silent. It's clear that you knew what was meant, you just wanted to continue to incessantly hammer at your keyboard. Hence my statement of "the rest of your rant is pointless." Just like your definition of "irrational" is completely backwards. "irrational" does not mean "I don't like it."
I couldn't care less about your preference, it is irrational because it is not based upon any categorical difference between the two modes other than the fact that one is titled multiplayer, and that word causes you to froth at the mouth due to an ideology. The gameplay in MP is practically identical to many of the combat sections in the singleplayer mode, and you can even play it alone if you so desire. Having you play some MP to boost readiness is functionally no different than making you do a SP sidequest get the same result.
The rest of your paragraph is itself a butthurt "rant" about me publicly deconstructing your horrible diction and crying about how mean I'm being to you. If you don't want that to happen then perhaps you should examine your posts for logic fails before crying them onto your keyboard.
Yeah, and if enough people don't like it, they don't buy it. Again, this argument makes absolutely no sense that you're saying. None. I ask for a clarification and you STILL say nothing but nonsense.
I don't even know what you're crying here for clarification on but "if enough people don't like it, they don't buy it" is crap. Want evidence, look under your own name or the names of countless other SP extremists in this thread. ME3 icons, DA:I icons galore. Clearly these features didn't stop butthurt people like yourself from buying the game, and as you represent what is almost certainly an extremist viewpoint on this issue (given the vast, vast majority of players don't actually care enough about the games to post on a forum about them), where is this market of malcontented babbies who are actually refusing to purchase the games? You certainly aren't one. You give them your $60 and then they laugh at you as I do, and continue to make games with intergrated MP and SP content because it makes business sense.
Cry all you want, EA/Bioware still has your money, and they will continue to get it. Meanwhile, including and encouraging people to play MP is in their interest as it both reaches a different demographic (people who enjoy MP game) and encourages those who may not have strong feelings about trying it one way or another, but could potentially like it (many of the MP forum regulars admit to having never tried an MP game before ME3MP) and support the product/ company in the future. A few tears on the forum from people who buy the game anyway isn't even a real price to pay.
This is the worst argument. It's not really a brilliant system. It's a system that is short-lived. It's not the type of system you'll see surviving for generations. It's extremely hit-or-miss. If you miss, you ended up with a rather lackluster game that no one pays attention to that has no staying power. You can see it with all of the FTP MMOs out there that crop up, last for a couple of months and then die.
And I fail to see how someone preferring the two stay separate is somehow irrational. What's irrational is feeling the need to berate people for having a preference.
Why, because you say it is? You're going to have to do better than that. Even if it were a "short lived" system (judging by the fact that there are MP games that have been around for decades that still have strong communities this is categorically not the case), what does that matter when games are a flat price that the developer doesn't collect profit on after the sale apart from DLC's and microtransactions?
Why is it inherently "hit or miss"? ME3MP still has a large, active community. The continued success of BF4 (a previously mentioned game with cross mode content) doesn't seem to be hurt by it. Have you ever considered the possiblity that games fail to have staying power when they are badly designed (as the majority of FTP games are), and it really has little to do with this particular feature? This isn't even a little relevant.
It is irrational because this demand is based upon ideological factionalism rather than judging content on its merits. People whine that they don't like Multiplayer being intergrated with Singleplayer, but they hardly ever iterate the reasons as to why, and if they do those reasons usually don't apply to MP vs SP in Bioware games. The only rational argument from the anti MP side I've ever seen on this issue was the one based on the need for internet connection, but that isn't a consideration for the vast majority of players.
I don't consider the breath scene and inconquestential or even an easter egg. Before it was patched it required to have an extremely high war assests and galactric readiness which forced me to play the MP mode more times than I actually wanted too. Because the GR drops really fast after you leave the MP mode. Sure BioWare fixed it but in my OPINION it should never been locked behind the MP mode to begin with,
Why?
Because it added no value to MP.
None.
Not a god damn thing.
It doesn't help you at all in MP mode.
So why lock it away in a mode where it has no value?
You can also stick your superior attitude up your ass.
It's about 3 seconds long and has literally no effect on anything in the narrative before or after it. It also isn't foreshadowed at all. It's inconsequential and an easter egg.
However the ability to only gain it via playing MP initially objectively added value to the MP. That content was impossible to access without using it, ergo increasing its value and impact on the game overall, and thus the number of reasons to use it, the number of players who used it and almost certainly the amount of money made through microtransactions. You making declarative statements to the contrary with zero rationale or evidence behind them while getting butthurt and swearing impotently because you can't defeat my arguments doesn't change that.
I could report you for getting so mad except that it amuses me, because I'm not a giant craibabby looking for reasons to get triggered.
I resisted giving in, but finally gave up. Wasted a couple of evenings trying to bring down a high dragon. WHen I finally got it, I was on a level 15 archer on Routine difficulty. And I died in the fight. But at least i got it.
So basically, you're mad because you're bad at video games? Why ask to eliminate MP? Why not simply ask for a baby tier difficulty like you get in the SP so even you can get those things without being bulled by the mean AI dragon in lolRoutine difficulty?
Not that I'd support Bio doing this at all. It's participation trophy babby entitlement culture at its finest. Everyone gets a pat on the head even though only a few of them actually have any ability. No one has to work for anything they want, even in a videogame where you aren't actually even "working" at all. Bioware should just give everyone a trophy everytime I solo ME3MP on Platinum difficulty, because clearly we're all special snowflakes.
