Not "any" but the "best" ending at the least.
> You did miss out not playing the multiplayer mode in my opinion. It was very fun!
Wasn't it basically a competitive FPS? I don't want a competitive FPS in my single player RPG. Especially when it's made mandatory for the best ending.
No, it was a co-op third person shooter, and one of my favorites I've ever played. It was arguably better gameplay than the main game. It even still has an active playerbase.
The "hardest" ending to get in the sense of having the highest readiness requirement is the one that suggests Shepard survived. I still don't think that required multiplayer at launch, but even if it did, that did not last long at all.
It did. I read the reviews.

Don't care. It's EA's shitty attitude to players in general, and this is just one more example. I'm old enough to remember when they bought PopCap and made bejeweled IAP based after i paid once for it.
