EDIT: Speaking of 4chan, some guy with unverifiable sources claims that PC owners did Miranda's loyalty mission far more often than Xbox360 owners did.  Xbox360 owners did Grunt's loyalty mission far more than PC owners did.  Discuss.

Actually, they're verifiable.  And those stats are straight from the Hudson's mouth, via the interview he did at IGN along with some stats that BW's sharing.  They're currently setting the forum aflame.

So statistically, Jack might be alive in more 360 games than Miranda... Hmm... 

Why does doing Grunt's mission mean Jack lives more?

ps. I always have my entire team fully loyal before I do the Omega mission.

Ah, I misused the word.  I meant that he wasn't providing sources, which made me doubt the veracity of what he was saying.

My amateur analysis of that information is that Xbox360 owners like the shooting elements of the game more, and prefer characters who don't need complicated motivation for why they shoot things.

How did you reason that Jack might be alive in more 360 games than Miranda?  Does it have to do with Grunt and the suicide mission?

Because a non-loyal Miranda is squishy with a high mortality rate.  If she's holdling the line and Grunt and Zaeed aren't there, she's done.  If you take her with you to fight Pants, she's also done.  Meanwhile, a loyal Miranda, however, is unkillable and will, in fact, outlive you, even if you did everything else wrong. 

Of course, Less people may have done Jack's loyalty mission than Miranda's.  You never know.  I just don't like a non-loyal Miranda's chances.

I don't get how Miranda is the touchy-feely one.  Hell, her loyalty mission's one of my favorites in the game.  If I were gonna place bets on which loyalty mission would be skipped, it'd be either Thane or Samara's, for obvious, non-shooty reasons.

Am I the only one who thinks Jack and Miranda are heading towards some angry hateful sex in the future?

I'm concerned that the developers will take that "Players skipped 15% of conversations in Mass Effect 2" statistic to heart and make ME3 even less of an RPG.  There are many, many reasons to skip conversations, the least of which is disliking the game's RPG elements.

That the Soldier is the most played class tells me that people might have wanted to play ME2 as a GoW clone with incidental RPG elements.

I think he said something in the IGN interview. But it was all "what-if" stuff.

Does Jack ever mention what type/generation of biotic implants she has?

L5 implants. Or at the very least L4s.

Well, it's a double-edged stat.  Yeah, they skipped fifteen percent, but that means they sat still for EIGHTY-FIVE percent.  That's huge.  I don't think we're in any trouble.

As for the soldier stats?  I think that's also a double-edged stat.  You have to factor in the people who rented the game or borrowed it and left the defaults on.  The sphere of data goes much higher in those cases.

Four people played all the way thorugh twenty-three times on 360?  I think I might be one of them.  I'll get Jack's romance stats up single-handed if need be!

When does she mention that?  Or who/what mentions that, and when/where?

No she doesn't.  She has the schematics for the L5x's is all that we know.  I would assume she was implanted with and L3 since it is mentioned that Teltin was going to try to get involved with the Ascension project (which seems to imply that it was the beginning of the ascension project).  The L4 implants were only invented like 3 or 4 years ealier... Jack seems to have been out on the run for at least 7 or 8 years (if not 10-15).

Theoretically it should be possible for Jack to produce a singularity as much as it should be possible that Samara can do the same. Just not feasible game-wise, as usual.

The idea that Jack having a good memory just by glancing over schematics was something that perked my curiosity for a long time but wasn't really expanded upon in dialogue. Alas.

L5n's are for Vanguards and apparently let them charge. I'm assuming they put the differences about the implants in the game to give the classes unique flavors. Personally I liked it when it had to do with training and amount of eezo in the user. It would make an adept seem more badass biotically than a vanguard rather than having the difference be due to a variation of an implant.

No doubt. It's the only class I've not used.

It's the only class that seems like it shouldn't be used in combat.  Go gettem' giant basketball!

I don't think they mention the implants that Sentinels get, though, do they? I had assumed that Sentinels get the same implants as Adepts while the Vanguards got a more specific variety to use for Charge. Then, consider that Kaidan is a Sentinel but was deemed to be a particularly powerful biotic by his peers, specifically due to his L2 implant.

Probably a whole host of factors that make for a more powerful biotic though. 1. Amount of neurological change and eezo nodules 2. Type of implant 3. Type of amp 4. Amount of training

Seeing as Kaidan was considered a powerful biotic, I'd say he had a good level of all four. But I think that it's likely that Jack is an even more powerful biotic ('cause everyone says so, dammit) who also has a good level of all four turned up to 11.

I speculate that she's had surgery specifically to enhance the eezo throughout her body and she mentions the fighting she had to do while at Teltin. I also speculate that an organization like Cerberus would keep with the L2 implants, thinking the potential is well above the risk (and what's risk to Cerberus anyway?). Jack likely had a Cerberus-modified L2 until you give her the L5. Makes sense she'd find those schematics in Cerberus files, as that's exactly what Cerberus seems to give a rebuilt Shepard. Probably a further design off the one they used with Jack as well.
