This would be great if I wanted to play adept or sentinel but, I don’t anymore. Adept used to be cool and fun for me and in andromeda it still is but, in ME1-3 not so much. Same for sentinel not anywhere near my favorite. In fact if vanguard is my least/never ever used. Then sentinel is the 2nd lowest on my list for how boring I find it. I prefer infiltrator sniper or engineer for casting these days but, thanks for the tips tho

There is a nice dialogue exploit on Noveria that lets you make both renegade and paragon points. It does make that game a bit too easy afterwards though, so either skip it or just use it for a small boost.

I swear I’m the only person on earth that doesn’t care about the suicide mission. I actually prefer priority earth way more, the gameplay challenge it poses is just so well done. It is so rewarding perfecting your build and holding off the waves of reapers. I think what really pushes it over the edge for me is the required movement. ME2 LOVES to make you get behind cover, but three is constantly punishing you for playing that way.

Another thing too is to do as many non combat missions as you can such as the normandy crash site to bring up the xp and credits for later. If you're in for the story and unique squad banter lower the difficulty and come back later in that same vein, skip Tali's recruitment mission, it's just so so painful on insanity.

Easy tips: Give Garrus, Zaeed, and Thane the Incisor. Go for weapon damage passives. Give Miranda, Mordin, Kasumi, and Samara the Tempest. No recoil + high rate of fire for them = shield stripper. Jacob with Eviscerator and Phalanx does great damage on all types given his ammo ability. Vanguards with Geth Shotgun until you get the Claymore. Now nearly every enemy dies to a charge plus shot to the head/body. Survivors can eat an elbow before eating another charge + shot. Use Area Reave for Shepard and Samara. It will save your life and keep crowds controlled very well. Spam Kasumi's Flashbang grenade on ALL the things that are humanoid. It stuns and staggers plus it has a short cooldown.

I remember the first time i had this moment. I was at Dunboro on MT, i was there to pick up a helmet and after i noticed a really tall spire you could climb and after i made it to the top i just sat and watched the sun rise. I think its these quite moments of reflection that make this game something that will always draw me back

And Mass Effect 3 isn't?! It has the rare distinction of being both hated AND overrated! Most people, including yourself apparently, are under the delusion that the ending was the only thing wrong with it! That could not be any further from the truth! The script was bad from start to finish, there's so much auto and bad comic book dialogue, too few choices that mattered, pointless new characters, a shallow and incompetent attempt to make the main character deep (whilst taking away player control), and the worst villains of the trilogy help the Catalyst make it the worst game of the trilogy; and it's not even close! This franchise has not been the same since Drew Karpyshyn left and it's not hard to see why!

I love ME2 but I have one really big problem with it. ME2 is easily the most removed from the Reaper conflict out of all 3 games. Hell, in one side mission and a couple other random pieces of dialogue, ME Andromeda mentions actual conflict with the Reapers almost as much as ME2 does. Whenever ME2 mentions events in ME1 it’s always Saren, what happened on Virmire, or Shepard being awesome. Not the Reapers. And the Reapers don’t even exist anymore during the events of Andromeda! It also doesn’t help that, out of the OG trilogy, ME2 is the only game in which the Reapers do not physically appear. If you do the Arrival DLC after the Suicide Mission, which you should, then Harbinger does appear in the hologram thing rather than the Collector General he was controlling. And at the end of his speech you do get a view of thousands of Reapers all in Dark Space just waiting to invade as ominous music plays. But I don’t count either of those as physical appearances and both are from a DLC.

Can't stand mass effect 2 Played them all as they came out when I was a teenager I'm replaying as an adult and I loved the legendary edition of mass effect one I'm about 15 hours in the mass effect two and I don't know if I can beat it The combat is just god-awful sitting behind a box. I hate it. I hate so many of the things they did differently from the first game. Don't know how I didn't notice it the first time I played, though I'm thinking I might've repressed it lol

This. I feel like people enamoured with 2 are coasting on nostalgia and havent played them side by side. I have, I just started the series for the first time a month ago. 1 is a blast, with rpg elements and fun worlds and characters. 2 is a hallway-cover-shooter snoozefest; i havent even gotten to 3 and i can tell 2 will be the most forgettable of series.

I'm 8h in and will continue, but... first chapter was a slug, getting better after that. overall setting is cool but the writing/dialogues are horrendous and the delivery and voice acting is beyond B-movies... still, enjoyable and if you can get past first chapter you'll enjoy it probably. for the combat I stringly recommend playing on easy though, no point wasting more time...

Thank you Legendary Edition. I have been trying to convince people for over a decade that Mass Effect 2 is the weakest in the series. I watched a group of friends jump straight into when it launched and I couldn't convince them to play Mass Effect 1 first. People tend to love the game that first introduced them to the series. I have a friend who argues Mass Effect 3 is the best, but it was the only one he played, because of the multiplayer. With six characters played through the entire trilogy, Mass Effect 3 gets better and better for me. The complaints about the finale stem from the RPG community's expectations of ending slides. Fallout had them so now every RPG "has to" or it will be considered inferior. People forget that Fallout also had in-game consequences. Recently, ending slides have been used to mask lazy developers who don't want to spend the money for in-game consequences. With the Mass Effect trilogy, if you roleplay completely different characters, you'll find that most player satisfaction comes from character interactions and not seeing the consequences for every action you take. I find the community "games" the dialogue a little too much. Too many are worried about racking up their paragon or renegade points rather than choosing the dialogue that best represents the character they are roleplaying. There are more options in the dialogue wheel than the community gives it credit for, especially in Mass Effect 1.

Gun rights aren't American rights, they're human rights. Any adult who isn't currently incarcerated or adjudicated as being mentally unfit (which I think should be limited to no more than a 5 year renewable term of being disallowed) should be able to carry a gun and use it to defend themselves or another person.

I never saw any reason to play the hardest difficulty in any game. Most of the time, it is like being tied to a chair and beaten to death. Unless you like being beaten to death? LOL. I don't, I love stories, looking at things through other people's eyes. People can tell you how they think by telling stories. I've noticed that people have become sadistic. Not just the creators but the people who praise the stories or entertainment. Entertainment should be an escape from human being's insanity. But yeah. I used to love games, but now, I'm very cautious. Even direct messages and visuals of children being harmed are being added to stories. In games like Gears of War and Mass Effect, there are hints to children being harmed. This is a reality in real life, so I get it. But it is only hinting at it. Where in some new games is being thrown right in your face. A Plague Tale is a prime example of this right in your face. I finished the first game and part of the second before I realized the sadistic storytelling. I won't even attempt to finish the second game. It's too bad that I didn't see it sooner. There are boundaries in everything, even the news tries to contain this insanity. Well, good job with this video very useful and informative. A good day and my best wishes to all.

The jump from ME1 insanity to ME2 insanity is literal NIGHT AND DAY. Holy crap ME2 insanity is rough in the early stages of the game when you have less upgrades and damages yea but once you start getting more gear and upgrades it starts rolling. The tech armor explosion saved me alot of times because of how it can knock enemies down.

My problem with mass effect 2 especially playing on insanity is the less powers and the combat. I enjoyed mass effect 1 on insanity it was hard. But but not grinding hard. Like I'm only just onto Morton recruitment mission. And I'm struggling so bad on the fan bit cause I can't use snipers to held against the rocket guys. I'm sentinal as well as I like versatile powers but I can only use a pistol and SMG. If I could use all guns would still be a grind but not as difficult

I've been convinced to buy it, one of the greatest rpgs of all time, they said, as good as new vegas even. that is simply not the case, at least in fallout you have your own creation, not some boring ass military politics shite.. wtf.. I should not have bought this and neither should you, if you value your rpgs. This is an action game with bad action and made for children, and boring at that. So do not make my mistake. .

Me2 wins in character building. Me1 set the stage with its world building, which me2 used as the backdrop to develop all of the different personalities we got to discover. Then we didnt really get much character building in me3 because of the war i guess but the citadel dlc is a great final send off for all the characters. But yeah, playing through LE, many flaws of me2 became clear, especially with the combat. Also, because i mainly play on insanity, its hard not choosing miranda as a squadmate every time. Warp, overload, AND 15% squad damage makes her the best squadmate for everything, which is annoying because i like taking different ppl for their dialogue and different play styles (although on my last playthrough i played infiltrator and took garrus and thane/legion everywhere and we were all sniping lol)
