Seeing as I've 100%'d my Military Strength before the end, can I get the 'best ending' (subjective I know) if I don't play any MP at all before finishing the game in two missions time?

You need 5k effective military strength to get the "best" ending, which is 1 extremely short (like, less than 10 seconds) cutscene more than the rest. If you have that you don't need to touch MP.

Multiplayer is annoying me, the servers are crap can't keep a stable connection and every time I play about 15 mins gaining mass xp and coin only for connection to drop and I lose all my progress! They need to do like cod where you keep anybxp up till point of dropping out. I hate having to finishnto get anything. Also you can't mute other players a simple option but one massively lacking, I hate hearing squeaky foul mouthed Americans and gooseberry fool gansta rap in the background.
:?


Not had a problem with it online, games have been smooth for me even when I'm downloading on my laptop.

So if my Effective Military Strength is 2779, then I have no choice but to up my readiness to effectively double my EMS? :fp:

Yup. Aren't EA great?! Even better, your Galactic Readiness degrades over time, so even if you get it up to 100% if you take a sizeable break from the game you'll need to play MP some more!

I cannae be strawberry floated with this shite multiplayer, and to drop your rating while not playing is bloody annoying. I mean why? What's the strawberry floating point in doing that? Bioware.......twats!
:x :x :x


To keep people playing, simple as.

I wonder what they'll do when the MP inevitably dies a death and they take the server offline?

The Reapers will always win :cry:

After going against all the odds, who'd have thought Shepard's and Garrus' weakness would be EA Servers.

Soldiers of the Milky Way –

It is my honor to announce that Operation Goliath was an overwhelming success. By targeting the brutes of the Reaper forces, we dealt them a blow from which they will not soon recover. As I’m sure you’re aware, a brute is made out of the parts of turians and krogan, somehow melded into one. For them to replace those troops, they’re going to have to capture turians and krogan together and alive—and you can ask your turian and krogan friends just how rarely that’s going to happen from now on.

Over a three-day period, you downed a staggering number of brutes, and countless husks and other Reaper creatures in the process. As it is, the Reapers have been pushed back in key positions as they try to make up for the holes you left in their army.

I am confident that word of this operation will get out and that it will give people hope. The stories I am hearing continue to amaze me. They are stories of soldiers braving fire to pull a fallen comrade to safety; they are stories of biotics charging enemies ten times their weight to buy their friends a critical second; they are stories of engineers with their fingers shot off, hacking mainframes with the stumps because their teammates needed them. Thousands of strike teams ran successful sorties against particularly deadly Reaper occupations – those squads will be recognized with a special commendation.

This brotherhood knows no race or species. It is a bond you are forging together, knowing that when the time came, you heard the call, and you answered it with all the skill and passion you could muster. That much… you can say to anyone.

–Admiral Hackett

Congratulations everyone! The first N7 Challenge saw a tremendous level of success – the community goal of killing one million brutes was beaten handily by participants. Through your combined efforts, over THREE MILLION brutes were destroyed! Many thousands of players also managed to beat the Reaper faction on Silver difficulty and achieve extraction. As per the initial announcement, Victory and Commendation Packs will be awarded tomorrow (Tuesday, March 20) at 5 PM PST. We’ll be announcing additional challenges in the days to come – but be ready to step up your game…We hope to see you all on the front lines!

I was half thinking of trading this in now it's finished against the Witcher 2 but I've yet to even try the multiplayer and a re-play as a male Shepard is on the cards too. Without an imported save do you get the option to pick choices from the first two games ? I wouldn't mind playing through with Aisley and seeing the outcomes of other hard decisions.

No it's gooseberry fool. The only choice you make is kaiden or Ashley. Everything else defaults to crap choices and people being dead.

They should have done comic choice option like me2 on ps3. If I want to see new options I have to restart me2 and go through whole game again. I don't have any saves where wrex is alive :(

I'm currently playing through ME1, to get Wrex and Ashley to ME3. I'll probably take a break from mass effect once I import this save to ME2. Doing this though, reminds me how bad the original was, even though it's a great concept. Dodgy frame rate, terrible handling mako, (although this should have been developed and maybe combined with the ME2 scanning mechanic to limit the scanning), repetition of environments. The game and plot is pretty good and the quest tracking is better than 3! :fp:

ME2 Is the highlight, I'll go through that with some renegade choices and my latest original game import in a few weeks. A new run through of the finale in the summer.

Apparently this is massive, as in something amazon have never done before.

Personally, I'm hoping they don't change the ending. Add to it sure, maybe put back the Joker/Harbinger fight and explain why the Normandy was speeding away from earth at the end, but don't change it. It's over, it's done. It's shitty yes, but it's the vision the creators of this universe had for it.

Time to hop on over to the spoilers thread and get really angry. Start from page 1 too, it's worth it.

My friend at EA Canada just told me there is a protest outside from ME fans who want an alternative ending. They are seriously camped outside. Jesus Christ. :fp: The main Bioware office isn't even in that building. :lol:

I just finished ME3 for the first time. I really don't see the big deal about the ending I got. Seemed fine. /shrug

Angry internet nerds seem way too angry, even for their usual standards. I was half expecting Shepard to be the secret leader of The Reaper Invasion the way some people have been acting.

Think I might shelf my renegade playthrough for the time being. Kinda burned out on this game, I'll come back after all the DLC has been released and all the stupid bugs have been fixed.
