How do I get 100% readiness? - Page 2

yeah seriously getting sued means absolutely nothing, you can sue anyone you want. especially to a company like EA\Bioware that have a team of lawyers able to ROFLstomp the case out of court. the judge will just laugh and go have lunch.

keep in mind though its very likely the ending on the disc is not the true ending, and that Bioware did it to test the waters and see what kind of reaction they would get. also because its never been done with a video game before, so a stunt like this would ensure ME3 would go down in history and be remembered if only for that. a lot of us think the real ending will be released as free DLC sometime before summer like maybe May.

EA + Free = ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION *blue screen of death*

If you don't play multiplayer, you have to go through a very strict path from all 3 games in order to get the "best" ending. In short you can't really get the "best" ending without multi-player. Not that it matters, the ending is as stated before, a 3 second clip tacked on to the "worst" ending.

EMS is what affects your ending. (Hah, that's a joke, all three endings are pretty much the same)

Galactic Readiness is a multiplier (50%, 92%, etc) that affects your war assets.

So if you have 3532 war assets but only a 54% Galactic Readiness, your EMS is only 1907. (I know, I know, but it sucks, I've only played one game of multiplayer in the full game, and your GR lowers in the PS3 version)

JSYK, your the same is true for the Xbox version. I'm not inherently against it but the speed which it lowers is rather alarming (something like 3% a day in my experience).

I like the multiplayer, sure. I like it a lot in fact, but I don't know if I like it all THAT much. Those who know me know that I've gotta get 100% heading into the ending. :/

Have all your planets up to 100% at the main menu (somewhere around winning 20 MP games) and do EVERY SINGLE SIDE MISSION POSSIBLE in campaign. and I mean scanning every last planet, talk to every last person in the citadel until your journal has nothing left but the final mission. I did this and collectively I finished the game in about 35 hours with 835/1050 gamerscore.

well now for sure I think I'm missing something here :/
I've done every side quests (plus all from me2 but not zaeed if he's on me3 because I forgot to get him at the last moment)
Also majority of my systems are 100% searched, (only 3 or 2 leftbut their fuel spots) except the few fuel spots I didn't want to use at the time just as a precaution at some solar systems. I do not have DLC sadly but I ended up with around 28-29 hours (counting final stuff after cerebrus so that added on the extra 2 hours from before) literally either hit 7000 points for the final battle or it was like 6900+ and was on normal difficulty so it bugs me how I zoomed through it faster then others... I'm hoping I missed SOMETHING besides zaeed encounter if he's in me3.
although I played the hell out of multiplayer.

Well thx for the help guys just got my plat thx

if it helps, you can do it with only a ME2 save, that helped achieve it for me. Right before the final mission, I went around to every single location and made sure there were 100% assets recovered, it's tedious (especially with reapers after you) but worth it, you'll find all sorts of things to add to your readiness. Start to finish I wound up with about 27 hours and that got me about 850 Gamerscore, I left no stone unturned. Now just need to buy the DLC and finish it on Insanity :X and i'll have it complete (for now)

From Ashes? it adds only like 1-2 hours, not very long.
