[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7457635, member: 37579"] Nope. [url]https://www.destructoid.com/mass-effect-2-player-choice-statistics-are-surprising-188362.phtml[/url] [url]https://kotaku.com/5992092/two-thirds-of-you-played-mass-effect-3-as-a-paragon-mostly-as-soldiers[/url] From statistics, only half the people who played ME2 finished and only half imported a save. That went down for ME3, where only 40% imported a save from ME2. That means 60% of players DID NOT play ME3 worrying about choices from previous games mattering. So right away were're looking at the protests being some percentage of 40%. Less than 40%. Small. Vocal. Minority. Choices like curing the genophage and other elements were always going to be optional and have no effect on the main plot. The game didn't expect you to get to "100% completion" before letting you finish. There were always going to be choices that had no impact on the final story. That doesn't mean they didn't matter... And that couldn't be because that's the ONLY SimCity game on Steam and you can't buy the other SimCity games on Steam. Which also came out two years after SimCity. You think that might be a factor? Oh... it's also on Steam, which is a much bigger platform than Origin, and would be subject to a lot of Steam sales. But it still ended up selling fewer copies than SimCity. I just did. The women soldiers one? Yeah... pretty sure a lot of people will buy the game BECAUSE of that controversy. So... yes. [/QUOTE]
