Mass Effect 3 Stats Infographic

An infographic was released on the Mass Effect Twitter, detailing the choices of all Mass Effect players world wide. It is quite interesting to compare one’s playthroughs with the general populace, and knowing just how wrong they are.

im in the 100% galactic readines, completed it on insanity, and also long service group! woohoo i feel good1

CaptainYesterday4800d ago (Edited 4800d ago )

64% didn't have Wrex that blows my mind he's my favorite Krogan and I can't believe most people played as Soldier, Sentinel is where its at!

anime_swag_pro4800d ago

My boyfriend didn't have Wrex because he never played mass effect 1. His view on the krogan was completely different because Wreav was the leader. This made him believe that the Krogan were a bad race that lacked redeeming qualities. I was shocked and almost angry at him for thinking this, since I love Wrex and I love the Krogan.

It is amazing to me how the entire interpretation of a major race in a game can be so different over one decision. A decision that is also difficult to pull off considering you need a high renegade/paragon score to save wrex (or do his character mission and get his armor).

masterabbott4800d ago

I have Wrex and in ME3 and its the best thing i saved him back on ME1 as he's the best especially with the ME3 Citadel DLC! This infographic is awesome. I play as a Sentinel and there's not many of those around by the looks of what the stats ar saying.

Ryder494800d ago (Edited 4800d ago )

I saved him in ME1 and thought he was an awesome character (along with the rest of the race).

Still didn't cure the Genophage...

kneon4800d ago

I didn't have Wrex because I couldn't stand him, nor any krogans for that matter, I find them annoying.

And I've only ever played as an engineer in the single player. Not that it really matters as I don't use the powers much.

Thefreeman0124800d ago

Why do so many people play as a soldier... That's so bland

anime_swag_pro4800d ago

Because most people just blast through the menus to start playing. A lot of people didn't realize that playing a femshep was even there because they never paid attention to the menu options. Just default default default play.

masterabbott4800d ago

I have to agree playing as a soilder is so boring. Im playing as a Sentinel and if you find the right gun either Paladin or the Suppressor you can blow up stuff just as good as soldiers with the added bonus of using hardcore biotics! LOVE THIS GAME!

ZacE4800d ago

Yeah, some of these stats surprised me... Vega being that popular over longer-term characters?

anime_swag_pro4800d ago

This is actually because he can't technically die canonically unlike the rest.

If you have low EMS then your squadmates die while running to the crucible. James was probably rarely taken on that mission while the more popular characters were, explaining why they "died" more often than him.

Aloren4800d ago

And Vega was not a bad character, he was actually quite cool.

It's hard to compare though, since there's those you get early and keep all along the game, those you only get really late in the game, those who can die halfway through the game...How could Tali be more popular than Vega when you can only get her near the end of the game ?

ZacE4799d ago

She can be more popular because she was in the prior titles...lol

Aloren4799d ago

Well, by more popular, I obviously mean "used more often in ME3" since that's what this stat is about. The fact that she was in previous game is completely unrelated.

It doesn't take a Phd to figure out that a character every single player can use in every single mission in the game is going to be used more often (and therefore be "more popular") than a character who joins you only in the last third of the game, who could have died in ME2, and who could die soon after she joins you in ME3; whether or not she's more popular on message boards. That's why I said it's hard to compare.

Mass Effect - N7 DAY 2025

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno188d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos188d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg188d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb188d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum188d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

BioWare needs to follow Larian’s lead and just “embrace people’s cool choices”, veteran EA developer

Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.

contra157188d ago

Who didn’t see this coming lol

Armaggedon188d ago

BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.

What the EA deal could mean for BioWare, The Sims, and more

If you’re worried about EA’s future, you’re in good company. The acquisition is unprecedented on many levels, and it throws the future of EA's studios and some of its biggest franchises —including BioWare, The Sims, Apex Legends, and Battlefield — into doubt. Industry analysts have varying predictions about what could come next. However, there are a few constants — namely, that EA will likely implement large-scale spending reductions and sell off its less profitable studios.

thorstein218d ago

How can you be an analyst and not look at Tencent and know exactly what's about to happen: massive layoffs, decline in quality, and loss revenue.

It is Toys R Us all over again, and JCPenney and Sears and so many more. EA lost is vision before 2000. It's an old stodgy corporation. It's not going to recover.

Retroman218d ago

If Ea sell studio that develop NFS wishful thinking Saudi investers put Blackbox studio back together. get rid of online racing, drive to a race or no races at all wasting time playing nfs for NO reason at all thanks to Unbound, Heat, Payback, Rivals.

They'll start working on FIFA, Madden, UFC, and some mobile games.

gold_drake217d ago

i think that games that are not Sports games or Shooters will cease to exist, since they are the big money makers.

not sure why anyone would agree to this. especially to rich saudis of all people ha they have more money than they'll ever need
