I bet all the people who didn't finish DA:O stopped at The Fade.

Why do you think so? I loved the fade.


long, boring, having to go thru one are to have to go to another to get a form to return to the previous area and finish it, and the golems on Console had a weir way of opening doors (at least on the Xbox 360 version)

After reading some of these replies...

... Am I the only person here whose "gamer buddies" (and myself) routinely finish the games they rent and purchase?

First thing I do is play through the campaign whether it's ME3 or MW3.

These figures don't mean that most gamers don't finish the game. The figures aren't tracked by individual player. It simply means that of the X number of games started where the stat tracking was turned on, 42% of those games have been completed so far. In my case I finished the game once, started another play through and have never finished it. That makes my finish rate 50%.

For example, if 80% of players finished the game and then started a second play through that they didn't finish, the completion rate would be around 44%. The figures don't simply mean that only 42% of players that purchased the game have completed it. It's much more complicated than that.

I wish I was one of those lucky 58%

I'm amazed at how many people hate backtracking. No wonder Bio's going linear.

42% is actually pretty high.


No not really, not for a finale of an series.

Number should be higher


It's high for a videogame.


Yes but not when the franchise is potentially ending since it's a trilogy.


How does that matter?


How to put it in way you can comprehend.....

If alot of people like the same game, then a fanbase established
Let say a game continues it's story, then a series is established
The game loving community should complete each sucsession of a game with higher percentage, well since they enjoy the storytelling or gameplay.

However when word gets out that the potentially last game doesn't deliver, then the completion number in percentage plummits to simular numbers like when the franchise is established or perhaps even lower.

What I mean is that it doesn't track how many individual registered games completed one play through.  It tracks how many games were completed.  If 10 players start a game and 8 complete it.  That gives an 80% completion rate.  If those 8 then start a new gane and only 4 complete that second game, that makes the completion rate around 66%.  That doesn't mean only 66% of individual players finished the game, it means that 66% of games started were completed.  80% of gamers finished the game, but the the completion rate will be much lower.

This is actually normal. For larger games which take some time to clear, you will see many players stop playing due to burnout, or they just haven't had the time to play through it. If I had started in March, with the Schedule I had up through May, I would be done by mid-June.

Plus, I think most gamers that start a game and stop to play something else can relate to this. It's no wonder really. I was more surprised about the completion rate was that high in just 5 months. :S

If the data is coming from Bioware I would presume through all the feedbak systems then they would know the exact number of finishes and would stucture the results accordingly?

Since this is inline with the other gamesI dont see why you're suggesting it's flawed.

I think we represent the clear majority now, perhaps even the 99%.

Is it on a per-player basis or a per-playthrough basis? From the way the article was worded, it seems it's the latter, but I'm not entirely sure.

If you read the article, it said that ME2 completion rate rose just prior to ME3 release due to people getting Sheps ready for a ME3 play through. That would suggest that the figures are based on total games started, not on total of registered individuals who start a game.

Indeed.

If I don't get at least two complete playthroughs out of a game, I feel like I've wasted my money.  I've done three full runs of DAO and currently partway through a fourth.  I've lost track of how many ME games I've completed  Even did four ME2 runs.

Of course, I only did 1.5 ME3 runs, so...:whistle:

Yea, you might as well rent a game if you don't plan to beat it.

 I was gonna make a troll thread but this article will be just as fun to share!

Saving Earth and stopping the Reapers didn't seem appealing for most gamers it seems. In its five months since release, BioWare says 42 percent of players actually finished Mass Effect 3.



No wonder so many people aren't mad at Bioware! They didn't even see star kid!

You actually trolled yourself pretty well.  Gratz, I don't see that happen very often.  Nice cherry pick on the article hoping others wouldn't follow the link though:

BioWare online development director Fernando Melo revealed the data during a talk at GDC Europe today, as reported by Eurogamer. The completion rate is actually down from Mass Effect 2, which saw 56 percent of players finishing the game. Melo noted that the completion rate for Mass Effect 2 actually saw a jump this year due to players wanting to prepare their save files to import for the third game.
The developer says Mass Effect 1 only saw completion rates of 40 percent. Dragon Age: Origins was completed 36 percent while Dragon Age 2 was completed 41 percent.
Mass Effect 3 is now coming to Wii U as a launch title this holiday.

Nice self troll post.  An informed gamer, looking to bash, would have considered this as well, provided by AFW: http://articles.cnn....mers?_s=PM:TECH.  Of course, somebody just looking to troll would try to pretend that this is some kind of isolated problem inherent to this game, which would, of course, explain the cherry picking of the article to support their point, instead of copy/pasting the whole thing while there.

Given all the controversy, I'm surprised the completion rate isn't higher than ME2. I figured most people who bought the game would at least be curious. I guess there's YouTube.


This might be the reason.

Yes, it couldn't possibly be that the controversy made people curious enough to play the game to the end, instead of getting tired half way through.

It could very well be.  However, this doesn't compute with what the OP thought he/she was providing, proof that the game sucked so bad that 58% of the players didn't finish it.  Imagine their shock and surprise to find out that more people finished it than DA:  O, which I find hard to believe, considering how many times I've finished that compared to all three ME games combined...Image IPB

What, you didn't read the first line and the second post? :P

From what I can recall, you can't import save games from DA to DA2? So much less incentive to run through it again, really.

What?  You didn't create any characters in DA 2?  You most certainly can import saves, you just can't import your Warden.  Regarding reading any of the OP's other posts, no, I didn't, there's really no need.  It's clear that it's just more "Let's bash something different about ME 3 today", only the OP made a mistake about what to bash.  Did he post a retraction?  That would be worth reading.
