I had 22 runs on ME2. Do I get a prize? If so, I want pizza and a beer! I don't understand how anyone can have so many playthroughs *and* recall their number exactly. When asked, I could only answer "several". More than 8? Almost certainly. More than 15? Debatable, but possible. More than 20? Unlikely, but still possible with my tendency to replay the same characters. That's for ME2, the number for ME3 was lower, but the answer would still be "several".
As for what I'd want, nothing really. For me ME is firmly in the past. Unless they put a really interesting twist on a new MEA game. And a new protagonist. And make it less formulaic - less Bioware-formulaic, at least.
Well, I do have a good memory. (also I have done 32 playthoughs of ME1 and 12 playthoughs of ME3). And that's including NG+.

Well I know I'v done more than 20 DAI playthrough ssomethimng like 25 or 26 I think as I'm getting closer and closer to 30. But tbh I kind of stop counting once I get past 20 as I get just too busy enjoying the game rather than how many timeas I've played it. I know I've done abou t14 or 15 of MEA but I'm pretty sure I can see myself passing 20 on that too eventually because I just enjoy it too mucjh to worry about how many I'm doing Need to finiash my currentrun of DAI first though and do the final season of my latest run of Fifa's Journey I'm playing but after that I likely will start my latest ME run. Must admit I'm looking forward to heading back to Eden Prime.

I imagine its as simple as some players actually keep count. for me, all I can say now is that I'm in excess of the '25 or so" I stated in the thread, probably over 30 each since I've played through the OT a few times since then. For ME:A, I'm probably up around 10-12. For time, I was keeping notes on each character's responses and probably arrived as my response of "25 or so" based on how many of those Word files I had on my computer at the time. I did, however, lose the bulk of those sheets when my laptop crashed awhile ago and I had to move onto a new computer. People could also possible get a count for ME1 on the Xbox by the number of available save imports they have going into ME2. ME2 handled save imports differently, so that count would unlikely be accurate since it displays any manual save made after going thorugh the Omega 4 relay as eligible for import... even if it is the same character just finishing off DLC.

As I said, how do you expect people to react to rumors. All that can be done with them is to wait to see whether or not they turn out to be true or false.
We're not lemmings... gone are the days of "jumping" off cliffs or jumping onto bandwagons at every little tidbit of rumor.

I'll never recall how many playthroughs I've done. I know it's more than a couple dozen, at least for ME1 and ME3, but without some analytics to look up, I guess that'll just be a mystery forever. I've come to terms with the idea that Mass Effect may well and truly be dead, but I do suspect that BioWare/EA is not so willing to write off this IP as lacking enough value to warrant further development. I'm keeping my expectations low either way, but I feel a bit parched for more space opera goodness in game form. There's just nothing out there. I'm not holding my breath for whatever Bethesda's got planned, since their inept hackitude seems to have gone full tilt as of Fallout 76.

I long ago lost count of how many ME1 runs I've had.
ME2 and ME3 were in the dingle digits. I only got a second run out of ME3 thanks to MEHEM
I got bored with MEA partway through my second run.

I long ago lost count of how many ME1 runs I've had. ME2 and ME3 were in the dingle digits. I only got a second run out of ME3 thanks to MEHEM I got bored with MEA partway through my second run. Had about 10-12 ME 1 runs. Did about 3-4 ME 2 play throughs. Only managed 1.5 go-arounds with ME 3. And ME:A? I couldn't even manage a singe completion of that one. I think I stalled out somewhere around halfway through? Hard to tell with how grindy everything was. It also really didn't help that the whole game felt like a Hot Topic rip off of the original trilogy; made it hard for me to keep my attention. Overly pushy PC talking points. Cringy dialog, with no real sense of fear or seriousness from nearly every character. A total lack of anything even remotely 'alien'; despite the game taking place over 2 million light years away. And the complete abandonment of the title with not a single piece of DLC content; this contrary to BioWare's claims of wanting to support the game for over a year. Etc. Let's just say Andromeda 2 (if we ever do get it) is going to have to change my mind on a lot of points before I even consider picking it up.

I don't know how many playthroughs I've done. Many is likely an understatement. I played ME1 many times on the 360 then I got it for PC and played it many more times then ME2 I did many runs of both games and same after ME3 I've done many runs of the whole trilogy. MEA I've done 2.5 runs. I love it but the length limits how many I do. I started a third but stopped to replay a series that i really wanted to replay. The Witcher. After that I'll hop back in.

I played the OT 6 times, and played MEA 1 time.
How much MEHEM and Better Dreams mods improve ME3 it's an understatement.

Length of MEA run is ... big. I clocked 172h 18minutes on the latest. Anyway I'll play them only every year these days. DAI+DLC's took 142+ hours. ME Trilogy takes what 40+40+60 - though I dont think I'll play 2 and 3 anymore.

I would like to see games get shorter overall... something in the order of 60-70 hours for 100% completion is great by me. Too many of them are shooting towards that 150 hour mark... and that's just too much time to devote to getting through a game just once, IMO.

Yep, but somehow I'm left yearning even more after third playthrough of MEA... I may have literally lived there took everything very slowly, actually read everything and listened to countless missed banters from different characters and places. Between 40-100 is okay for me, but as I played MEA it didnt even feel that long this time.

Yes, ME:A is more immersive when time is taken to read everything and when you slow down travel in the Nomad enough to avoid cutting off a lot of the banter.

Pretty sure I am in the sixty or seventy range for each game. At seven for Andromeda so far. That's why I say give me more of both galaxies! Hell throw in the triangulum Galaxy too. I'll just play them over and over.

I know I'm planning on doing another run soon but tha twon't be until I'm finished with DAI and finished my lastes trun of The Journey in Fifa but I've onl ygot the final season of the Jourbney t odo and that will take 3 or 4 days. Not suer how long that'll take me t ofinishj yet but I'm guessing at least another week. As I am nearing the end of my DAI run as I'm almost level 18 I've only got the DLC's to open up and I'm up rto Whast Pridehad wrought in the main story so I've not got that far to go As I finished Hawkes ques tyesterday and did Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts the day before so I'm getting there. It's mainly down t ohow long the DAI DLC's end up taking me this time since I am going t obe approaching them slightly differently than I have in other playthroughs. But as I asid I'm looking forward to running through the 4 games again could mak efor a good warm up for the new Jedi game should I decide to jump into tha twhen I'm finished as it should be out by then.

As I am nearing the end of my DAI run as I'm almost level 18 I've only got the DLC's to open up and I'm up rto Whast Pridehad wrought in the main story so I've not got that far to go As I finished Hawkes ques tyesterday and did Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts the day before so I'm getting there. It's mainly down t ohow long the DAI DLC's end up taking me this time since I am going t obe approaching them slightly differently than I have in other playthroughs. But as I asid I'm looking forward to running through the 4 games again could mak efor a good warm up for the new Jedi game should I decide to jump into tha twhen I'm finished as it should be out by then. Same. I'll always keep my copies to play. Yeah ME2 is still my favourite game so I don' tthink I could ever drop it. I'm looking forward t ostarting up my sentinel Shepas I'm planning on giong Sentinel this time round but then it's been a while since I've played them so I'm not surprised I'mfeeling the urge considering the last time I played them was back in April according to my Origin account. So I think I'm kind of due another run.
