GAMING NEWSFewer Players Finished Mass Effect 3 Than Mass Effect 2Posted on Monday, August 13 @ 19:00:00 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
![]() At a GDC Europe panel, BioWare's online development director Fernando Melo shared some game data on completion rates for their past titles from Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchises. The data is fascinating, really. Mass Effect 3: 42% Mass Effect 2: 56% Mass Effect 1: 40% Dragon Age: Origins: 36% Dragon Age 2: 41% Also, the number of people who play the game doesn't seem to matter. Even though the numbers for Mass Effect 3 were incredible and despite the introduction of cooperative multiplayer, the length of time people have played the game hasn't changed. This says a lot about single-player RPGs. Even if a game is critically successful, the completion rate is only about 40%. Which begs the question: If you have those games, did you finish them? (I did, several times in fact.) [Source] [Image Credit] More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

I you buy Portal 2 retail they give you portal 2 retail seperate while when u install they give you the digital for free as well, in case you decide to lose the game. I still regret KOA:R to this god damn day.

I mean by the time you get to the third iteration, I bet people buy it without knowing what it is and then find out they don't like it at all (jumped on the wrong bandwagon).
I, however, finished it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I may not have been enthralled by the ending, but neither was I enraged.

Maybe one reason why 3 was finished less is people got distracted by the multiplayer? Also I'm guessing the bad press around the ending didn't help people's desire to finish it.

no other games leave me wanting more than the bioware series (minus currently SWTOR)

On another note, have you guys got access to completion rates of any other games? I'd be interested to see how many people even touch the single player of games like Call of Duty. Although now I'm wondering if Melo's stats are adjusted to take into account the few completely offline players there are.
