I only did one playthrough of ME3 as well. After I'd done it, I tried MP and never looked back untill finding the MEHEM mod. I still can't get myself to start SP again, though. Once I learned the story, MP gameplay is just more fun.

We replayed ME2 repeatedly to fill in the empty void in our lives til ME3 came out.

But seriously I did full playthroughs of each game of the trilogy exactly the same number of times. And incomplete playthroughs exactly the same time.

I've done more playthroughs of ME3 than ME2.

This
I played ME2 because i was so hooked on the ME universe, and every single playthrough i have done every single thing to do in the game, every DLC, scannede every single planet so that every clusters says 100% on the galaxy map, just so i could see what effects it had when i imported into ME3. Sadly most things only resulted in an email. and a lot of stuff isn't even mentioned.

Because ME2 is head and shoulders above it's older and younger brother. Seriously, that game is near-perfect.

I think it has a little to do with the anticipation of carrying all your decisions over to the next game.

One of the biggest letdowns was the Collector Base decision...it did not matter.

The decision only effects low ems playthroughs

Because I felt like I actually had choices to make in ME2. In ME3 there are very few game defining choices and many of the previously made choices were either ignored or made insignificant.

The trainwreck of an ending is the main reason why i've onlycompleted the game 3 times so far in comparison to the 15 odd times i'd completed ME2. MEHEM fixing the narrative of the ending and removing the cancer that is bratalyst may help me import more of my Sheps through the final leg.

However the other big problem is the fact that they stripped back the ability to roleplay as the Shep i'd played for 2 games and instead forced me to swallow large dollops of a new defined Shep. Coupled with this was the removal of neutral choices when dialogue options were made available. A far less immersive experience all in all than ME1 or ME2.

ME1: Wow such a long time ago. I think I played it about 5 times, mostly to get my biotic to level 60 in preparation for ME2. Kind of hard to play this one after ME2/3; the gameplay seems so slow and powers are not very wel-defined in comparison. The story is great though and it's nice to go back and revisit characters and see how they have evolved through the series--for example, ever notice how Liara got some "work" done after ME1? I will probably take a character up to 60 one more time on ME1 for a final trilogy playthrough sometime.

ME2: I played each character through on insanity+ with some additional runs for different romances and paragon/renegade choices. So that's probably somewhere around 15-20 times. Great gameplay, great story, great graphics, great soundtrack--my all time favorite of the series. I really liked gathering up my squad and gaining their loyalty while prepping for the Horizon and the Collector ship missions--and then finally taking on the Omega 4 relay with my super bad ass team. And the music was so awesome, especially at the Collector base. It really helped to set the atmosphere and injected a ton of excitement. Everything came together on that game to really make it a classic.

ME3: I'm currently on my 3rd run with a fire/cryo/TB combo character. My next will be an infil prox mine fire combo slayer. I'll probably do a novaguard run as well. Gameplay is on another level compared to ME2--which I didn't think was possible--and allows multiple playthroughs with so many different unique setups. The faster combat took some getting used to but now ME1/2 feels slow in comparison. The story is just OK; ironically it doesn't feel very epic at all since you spend most of your time mired in petty politics, etc. The music was a HUGE letdown. There was one very poignant track in the beginning as Shepard evacuates Earth, but the rest was a disappointment--especially at the end when the Crucible is revealed. So very very anti-climactic and makes the Earth mission that much more depressing. Jack Wall would have KILLED it if he had the chance. In fact most of the great music in ME3 was re-used from the ME2 soundtrack. Bottom line though: I'm only playing ME3 SP for the new DLC and because I'm taking a break from MP.

ME3 is the best in the trilogy with that said I don't play ME3 by itself because I don't like playing incomplete stories so it is a must for me to play them in order

[Captain Crash]

Done the most plays on ME1 then closely followed by ME2. So far I completed ME3 twice.

[Petrikles]

I played ME3 exactly one time. The ending was just one factor, it was also the too dark, grim and drainingly dramatic atmosphere throughout. When Shepard's final speech was going, and all those melodramatic goodbyes, I just could not bear it anymore, I was worn out and bored out at the same time.

However, I played ME3 multiplayer with an intensity like no Mass Effect game ever before. I can honestly say that this is the best combat game experience I have ever had.

What is your story?

I can only speak for myself here, but I'd wager this is because ME3 is the final chapter of the trilogy, whereas ME2 wasn't. The fact that you have something to look forward to (in the case of ME2, a whole next game) does motivate you to play more in preparation for what is assumed to be the big finale. Which is not quite the same for ME3; once you've finished, you're kind of done as there is nothing more to look forward to.

[Mr.House]

I played ME3 more then ME2.

[MegaSovereign]

I play both games countless times.

[dreamgazer]

I've played them all a finite number of times.

[MegaSovereign]

When I say countless, I mean 12. I don't have the patience to count to 12.

For me, about 20+ runs on ME1 and ME2, only about 6 completed runs in ME3 so far, with a few more Shepards mid-game. 

A few reasons why:
1) ME3 has not been out as long as ME1 or ME2.

2) ME3 multiplayer has sucked more of my time than I first thought it would. More multiplayer = less singleplayer.

3) "Improvements" to combat system (including powers, protection system) actually lead to fewer builds and playstyles that are actually worth exploring. Improvements to combat system actually benefit multiplayer a lot more than single player. (Also, too many points to spend.)

4) Ending was rather dissappointing. I actually think the ending--even in its original form--was a good ending, but not a good end to the Mass Effect trilogy. In almost any other game the ending would be considered fantastic, but considering the standards set by the previous games, the ending came across as too sudden and its themes did not match the rest of the series, so it is considered too jarring, lackluster, and unsatisfying. I have more thoughts on it, but this is not the thread to discuss it. Just not a satisfying end.

Yeah, ending was OK but not for the END of Shepard imo.
