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

CaptainYesterday4044d ago (Edited 4044d 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_pro4044d 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).

masterabbott4044d 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.

Ryder494043d ago (Edited 4043d 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...

kneon4044d 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.

Thefreeman0124044d ago

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

anime_swag_pro4044d 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.

masterabbott4044d 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!

ZacE4044d ago

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

anime_swag_pro4044d 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.

Aloren4044d 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 ?

ZacE4043d ago

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

Aloren4043d 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.

BioWare Could be Working on More than Just Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4

Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.

If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.

So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,

You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups

Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was

anthem......

Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....

They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table

bababooiy16d ago

Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.

Michiel198916d ago

Inquisition wasn't broken, it just had some flaws and on the contrary it also had some strengths. If you call inquisition a major screw up then idk what to say.

That said with what happened to the study since then and now, I'm not really confident that their next game will be any good.

just_looken16d ago

If you played it fully to get plat like me back in its novemeber launch window you had that castle with empty area's endgame missions not there or working and a mp that was made around loot box grind like the mass effect mp.

Its hard to explain to those that played it years later after they tossed out the dlc/patch's

Michiel198916d ago

entitled much? I played it at launch too. Why you even platted it if it was a "major screw up"?
It was good enough for you to sink 100 hours in but also a complete fuckup at the same time, make up your mind.
So either you like shitty games or you're just talking out of your ass.

RaidenBlack16d ago

Well just wanna say, Archetype Entertainment is the new BioWare, composed of mainly ex-BioWare vets.
And they're developing Exodus (starring Matthew McConaughey), a new sci-fi RPG (spiritual successor to Mass Effect, dare I say?)

CantThinkOfAUsername16d ago

I hope it's a single player game with Anthem's gameplay mechanics.

Becuzisaid16d ago

They're owned by EA. What makes you think that they wouldn't publish for PS5? Shoot, if your fridge could connect to your bank account EA would try to release it for that if they could!

Double_O_Revan17d ago

How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.

Becuzisaid16d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
