actually the politicians putting their heads in the sand until it was too late is the most believable thing in Mass Effect

Anyone else watching this “7 years later” video 7 years later?

"except Jacob" never before has a phrase been so true.

Romancing Tali. Removes her visor to finally see ner face.

I was replaying mass effect 2 and was talking with Liara and found out that she had to get your body back from the shadow broker and then she gave you to Cerberus.

Around the 26-28 minute mark, there are some counterpoints I'd like to point out.

Mordin dying: If you had imported an ME1 save where Kirahe survives and talk to Mordin about it, Mordin outright tells you he hates protracted battles. "I hate holding the line. I'd rather get the job done and go home." That is the gist of the dialogue when you talk to him.

Zaeed not being a good squad leader: Entire Blue Suns crew outright betrayed the guy. Even if you bother talking to him on the Normandy, he always mentions some poor sap dying even if someone were to go out for ice cream. Not exactly a good recipe for a team leader.

"Geth do not intentionally infiltrate."  I still love that damn line lol

Suicide Mission is to video game scores what Duel of Fates is to film scores. A pinnacle of their medium.

Also Garuss' dialogue in this game cemented him as the ultimate video game bro.

This game put Garrus on to the ultimate bro pedestal

Mordin's loyalty mission (specifically his dialogue) is my favorite one. He is, far and away, my favorite character in the game. Torn between the choices he had to make, and forced to live with them, knowing only he could ever (if he got the chance) do right by them. He lived with it, searched for answers, and made peace with his choice.

"The game is outshined by the universe created" couldn't have said it better. I love Mass Effect, but not the games so much. I love the people in the universe, I love the universe. The games are all right, but I'll replay not for the game, but to have another conversation with Garrus, or poke fun at Tali.

13:38 gotta disagree with you there. Paragon is not just about being a symbol of virtue and niceness, it's about standing up for others. In that scene the C-sec officer was being an unsympathethic dick to a Quarian that was being harassed for no reason and he was making it seem like she was the bad guy.

ME2: 7 years later: 7 years later.

Mass Effect 2 was literally "Daddy Issues the Game".




Jacob: Daddy issue.
Miranda: Daddy issue.
Tali: Daddy issue.
Thane: IS the daddy issue.
Mordin: Father of the genophage issue
Grunt: Daddy issue
Garrus: Mentions issues with his father

fun fact: BioWare started off as a medical software company, hence the name Bio-Ware

Best story: Mass Effect 1.  Best characters-Mass Effect 2.  Best gameplay-Mass Effect 3.

I'm imagining Raycevick actually playing some of his proposed changes to the collector ambush mission, and then hating it because the 'game's combat is not built for timed missions, yet being good at the timed mission is essential to getting the best ending' or something like that lol.

I will forever remember this as the game that got me into the Mass Effect franchise.

Mass Effect 2.... 7 Years Later..... 7 Years Later.

Most underrated improvement from 1 to 2 was the addition of frequent auto saves. Auto saves were nearly non existent in ME1, so you had to restart entire missions if you died. ME2 fixed that in a big way
