That makes absolutely no sense. I can understand not finishing a game like Call of Duty. The single player experience isnt that great, but the multiplayer is a lot of fun, but why the hell would you buy a story based game and not finish it? Why waste your money like that?

Here's a Crazy idea, maybe they didn't like it?

By the end I was grinding my way through it and even without the Ending issues, I could never enjoy it for a second time

There are plenty of posts listing out issues within the game that could turn people off depending on their own views.

the game was fine story wise until the orginal incomplete ending. i say its incomplete because there still adding to it via leviathan dlc

because to the trigger finger shooter fans the mp is the selling point to them

id love to see the % of people recorded that played mp but i dont think bioware will do to possibly another backlash

either way they basicly kind of are in a rut when it comes to the hardcore fan base of theres

Without knowing exactly how these statistics were gathered, they don't mean anything.

And this hypothetical MP one wouldn't either. I tried 2 matches of MP to see if I liked it. I didn't. But I would count towards the percentage of people who play MP.

But you finished it. And I hated the ending too, but I still finished it. And the numbers for mass effect 2, which almost everyone liked, are only at fifty-something percent. I can't believe that there are that many people out there that just ignore the story.

Whenever I play public MP (Xbox 360) I compare achievements with other people in the lobby, and about half of them have hardly any story-related achievements gathered.  So those people are most likely the reason why the game has a poor completion percentage.

I've noticed this too.

In fact, one of my friends whom I play MP with told me of a time where he encountered somebody who asked him "Who's Commander Shepard?"

It was both sad and hilarious.

Why would anyone buy ME3 just for the MP? There are clearly better MP games. ME3's MP is generic horde mode v.163.

thats why me3 sold so many if you think about it

from a buisness point yea its smart to add multiplayer but you do kind of shut out the fans who helped put you on the radar for the gaming community

how many people from todays generation of gamers do you think would play the single story for mass effect 1 -3/ none because now a days everything is multiplayer

now dont get me wrong im not hating on bioware or the mp but the truth hurts when you notice gamers today are spoiled with the mp craze

I think it relied to much on the heavy emotional scenes, the first time ou see them they are powerful but after that they lose their special place ( in my view anyway)

Honestly I don't think it was a fine story, more like a Micheal Bay movie.

That's what you get for advertising it as perfect place to start. I guess about 40% were people who at least played ME2 before.

Just my opinion.

As people have already noted, 40% completion is actually pretty damn high for a video game.  The majority of people who play a game never actually finish it.  There's a bunch of reasons given as to why... but when you realize how few people finish the games they buy, you start to get a sense why the endings of games tend to get the least amount of attention.

It's a machine that kinda winds up feeding itself.

[Khayness]

They got money from the other 58% too, assuming it doesn't include used sales.

Only that counts.

[blueumi]

so knowing the core gaming will get to the ending more reason to make it good for those of us who bothered to complete all three games

You would be even more surprised to learn not many people do the horrible romances.

I fail to see the connection between the romances and game completion in this context.

Regardless, congrats on the troll post.

lol bay cant even touch a emotional scene correctly.

Yes because I was a hardcore fan that went into spoiler free mode months before the game, preordered and played right through and didn't look at anything till the Ending. Had I done otherwise I may not even have bought it or maybe put it away. The few games that Ive bought since are well spoiled to avoid this debacle.

The real shocker is the low figure for DA:O.

What I meant is that Bay compensates for his weaknes by sfx.

Bioware compensated for the weaknesses in the main plot by the emtional scenes in the subplots.

Yes the first time you see the scenes they make you feel but that changes. What were your feelings watching the Brat die the first time? What were they the second?

Oh I agree, but some people just buy anything and everything MP related.  They play it for a couple weeks, then go out a purchase the next MP cash grab.  It's sickening.

Hearing stuff like this makes me thinkg that ME3's completion rate is actually higher than should be expected, if there really are a lot of those MP-types around now.
