The lights are on
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.
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.

wow that is surprising
Does it count if I've finished it three times? hahah
It's hard to believe that many people aren't finishing this game. It's a great story and filled with more action than ever. Seriously the final massive battle is insanely fun!
That explains why so many people are defending the ending, because they haven't seen it.
OH MY F***KING GOD here we go again. i thought we over this "i dont like the ending therefore all of bioware's work is crap" thing. can this be the last time we address this and finally move on?
Because the smart ones let marauder shields end the suffering
Proud to be one of the people who have completed every one of the games listed.
It's amusing that the anti-ending minority has come out in force to insist that the number is because of people not liking the ending... despite ME3 having higher completion numbers than the first game in the series and Dragon Age: Origins without being out nearly as long.
Frankly, how in the world does a company even accurately determine how many people actually finished the game?
I never played Mass effect 1 or 2 because it didnt interest me as much. But my brother gave me Mass effect 3 and i liked the story and the ending. Now im going to try mass effect 1 and 2. I guess it will be a prequel route.
It was a rather easy Platinum(PS3) only difficult part was fighting Kai Lang in the Illusive Man's room on Insanity, everything else was rather simple.
It is so odd to me that people don't finish games
One thing I didn't care for in the game was the constant trips to the citadel which for me was just a place where I gave people mission stuff and held no real purpose other than that. It just created a huge break from the action and the story.
I haven't finished it.... yet
