Except that's not true. It's been stated so many times I'm not sure what else to say, other than you can still experience the full single player game without touching the multiplayer.BeastofShadow said:I'm defiantly in the category of it not sitting right with me. I don't have a gold account on my Xbox anymore (I play pretty much exclusively story driven games) so I can't get the full single player experience because I can't play multiplayer? That doesn't sit right with me at all.
No it's not, it just can make it so you don't need to get as many Military Assests, which are already sooo easy to get.Radoh said:Okay, so it helps the single player, but isn't a necessity? When I get it, I suppose I could spend some time on it, it looks fun.
So rather than check your own information, you come here to inform me that it is impossible to do without the multiplayer which flies in the face of people who have done it.18.99PlusTip said:Actually...that statement is misleading.

Someone did the math on the war assets in the game...so...
..I can't say I saw this myself: so take it with a grain of salt.
There are a potential 8000 War assets in the game if you do EVERYTHING.
You need 5000 for the "good" end.
If you don't play multiplayer your Readiness multiplier stays at 50%:
Meaning you get only 4000 points.
And thus you CANNOT get the best ending without playing Multiplayer.
I'm curious if the reviewer even checked this or he just trusted Bioware isn't lying.
My Jimmies are most certainly not in a rustle!18.99PlusTip said:Don't get your jimmies in a rustle.Radoh said:So rather than check your own information, you come here to inform me that it is impossible to do without the multiplayer which flies in the face of people who have done it.18.99PlusTip said:Actually...that statement is misleading.

Has it occurred to you that the fifty percent multiplier is actually a multiplier, as in, it boosts your war assets as opposed to reducing it?
I did say citation was needed and that you need to take it with a grain of salt.
I don't think you understand the Galactic Readiness. It doesn't make it so you can get more assests, it makes it so you don't need as many to get the better ending.18.99PlusTip said:snip.

I did take it with a grain of salt, as made clear by my questioning of it, I just don't like it when people bring hearsay into a discussion and make a supposition that the person doing the review as part of their job must be wrong because of it.
