Well, since you have to grind the multiplayer, facebook tie-in, and/or iOS tie-in to get your Galactic Readiness above 50%, and it degrades over time so you have the keep grinding them consistently through your playthrough, and Galactic Readiness is a major factor in what ending you get ... yeah.

Is even a word of that confirmed? Because it contradicts everything I have heard them say.

I guess I was getting overly pissed there. It almost seems like Progress Quest where you can just tap out a script or leave things running by themselves and cut out half the game. Although It would proably be useful for those completionists who have already beaten things to death and just want that last scene.

Pretty sure that's a fake.

I think Helper isn't working on Mass Effect (Thank God), so yeah that's a fake.

Still sounds like something she'd do.

Tycho talking about ME3's mutliplayer:

Quote

Ths multiplayer, though. Holy shit. “Horde Mode” is an insulting characterization. The characters you create in this mode accrue experience and invest in skills just like a single player character would, except here you’re earning money that you use to buy what are essentially CCG style Booster Packs of varying quality. These packs contain single use items to help you through tough rounds, weapons and weapon upgrades, along with alien races to play as. It has many, many barbed compulsion mechanisms affixed to tentacles which dance and sway.

Traps for the reptile mind can only get you so far, though, and what surprised me the most about it is how well it comports itself as a shooter. It’s not just a weathered sidearm resting on an ornate doily. It’s very “heavy” in my own estimation, methodical, a more nimble version of Resident Evil that retains that series’ omnipresent gravity. It had dodges, and cover, but when you traverse an area the sense that you are committed to it is impressed upon you. I didn’t entirely know what to think when they announced this portion; the rumors I’d heard were that it was intended as a stand-alone product at some point. I tried to imagine what universe such a thing would be desirable in. This universe, actually; it is desirable in this universe, as soon as is humanly possible.

That sounds cool and all, but if Battle fucking field 3 didn't get me to install Origin, Mass Effect multiplayer sure as hell won't.

It's not that bad, really.

Defenestration · « **Reply #609 on:** February 15, 2012, 08:05:28 PM »

No, I don't doubt it's not bad. It sounds really goddamn interesting! But it's not going to be nearly as good as Battlefield 3, and I sure as hell want that a lot more and even that didn't get me to use wannabe Steam.

As compared to what?
What is it competing with?

The Mass Effect 3 simultaneously pushes the COD XP Reward button and the RNG loot button from WoW:

See, every time you win a mission you get credits. You can spend credits on buying random upgrades/weapons/characters. You also get EXP from matches to level each character up. So it's basically calculated to keep you playing.

Shame it still feels sort of stiff because it's Mass Effect Shooting.

Also, Awkward zombie is great as always:
