I was glad Jacob got married or whatever. He seemed like a nice kid….Although it was like walking through a minefield trying to just be friends with him. What were they thinking with Femme Shep’s voice direction in every conversation with Jacob? I cringed sooooo hard.

I think all the Dead cells takes are just you being bad and frustrated. Oh noo the FIRST Boss is a simple easy pattern to understand bohoo. You cry about every boss being hard thats just sad xD

I hated this DLC. They couldn’t come up with a better reason the Alliance Military would want to keep Shepard under lock and key after they’d been brought back from the dead by Cerberus? It was absolutely necessary for Shep to destroy a solar system? Do a war crime? Hey, if it’s that easy to destroy an entire solar system, why did the reapers have so much trouble conquering the Milky Way?

It's a bit criminal to me that you never mentioned Thane's last lines to Shepard in Citadel because those are some of my absolute favorites in the series. Thane is one of my favorite characters in the trilogy and having such a genuinely touching final send off had me crying.

Damn, the line "you cannot proceed to a genocide in self defense" didn't age well

Wait just a damn second, THE MAKO HAS ROCKETS, HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS

I was going to write a comment about how he probably wouldn't have been hated as much if he was introduced earlier but you beat me down with logic with the first 3 minutes. He really does suck, it's not even worth trying to justify his existence in the games plot.

13:30 thats why i dont play mass effect as a renegade

BioWare rushed the fuck out of mass effect 3. thats why half the game is dlc

I thought in ME1 they said in one of the codex that others tried to damage the relays but couldn't Or maybe im misremembering

Tbh, i played the ME trilogy LE edition for the first time ever in my 24 years and didnt really notice when i was doing a dlc besides the longer mission structures. I legit only thought there was the bring down the sky mission in 1, overlord/shadow broker/arrival in 2, and the citadel, leviathan, and omega in 3 and beyond that i figured everything else was supposed to be in the game. Kinda surprising there was much more added content than I thought at first

The Normandy could have easily required a port to install the IFF. What if you landed at the citadel and joker informed you that it was installed and the they plan to do a shake down run, and test going through a few relays while your crew is out and about on the citadel. They leave you the shuttle and next thing you know a ghost ship returns to port

at about 11:00 this is literally my favorite piece of dialog in the entire series. Kenson says "you've changed nothing!!!" and in LITERALLY THE NEXT SENTENCE she says "You've ruined everything!!!" What the actual eff?!?! It's so bad it's hilarious.

I never liked Jacobs character especially in part 3 if he didn't give me war assets I would have killed him off Mass effect 2

This was a great breakdown. Now I'm curious what your breakdown of the female romance options would look like. When I didn't even have the option to ask about my daughter with Liara in ME2, I went with Tali for the remaining 2 games. Maybe things would have been different if she wasn't locked behind DLC, but now I see her entire relationship path as a corporate money grab. The worst form of relationship is someone who's only with you for money.

POV my skin is melting:

For me, Omega belongs somewhere at the bottom. Aria is horrendously edgy and in a series about making choices you're not given the option of having Nyreen take over Omega and finally putting Aria down - the argument that you can't do it because "It would be a bad decision" is stupid considering how many bad decisions you get to make throughout the series. The antagonist had potential but all he does is pace around in his base and play with his chess board, occasionally moving a piece and saying something dumb like "all the pawns are in play, Commander" like he's a fucking batman villain or something. I know it's a common trope to establish someone as a master tactician but it's a tired one that has the opposite effect - especially when his tactics are dogshit and he's easily defeated. Don't even get me started on the fact you can't pause and continue it later. You have to do the entire thing before you can leave. You're stuck in this boring environment listening to Aria talk about how she's queen bitch of the underworld. Arrival suffers from the same issue of having to finish it all in one go, but at least it doesn't drag on half as long as Omega. Overlord also belongs there. Horrible pacing and full of cringe. Oh, he can communicate with the geth because he's autistic! He talks about square roots, that's how you know he's super intelligent! I hate it.

Definitely agree with Arrival, to the point I will never play it again.

Oh no! One black character among several are represented badly! Let's cancel them!!!

If I were writing Jacob, I would made him the Illusive Man's right hand man and top assassin instead of Kai Leng.

I feel like this is just a bad pool of games to compare to each other. They’re arguably the best in their Genre of rougelike, but they all have baseline similarities and that’s about it, like dodge roll, and resetting after runs. My issue with the ranking is that a lot of the things that make the game worth playing became complaints, but with gungeon that was apparently a good thing? I personally don’t think risk of rain or gungeon should be top on the list for boss fights.

Shepard is Solid Snake himself. Kai Lung is the sweaty neckbeard playing MG and reloading last checkpoint when anything doesn't go their way

You should watch Oboeshoes do his 10 minute rant about mass effecr 2 as a whole. It's hilarious, and points out some very dumb story aspects of the game

2/3 of the video is skill issue

skill problem on dead cells fr

If they gave Jacob an assault rifle instead of a shotgun, he'd have ONE redeeming quality

I really tried convincing myself that i didn't dislike Jacob my first time around. I think the nail in his coffin is that a year later, it took this thumbnail to make me remember he's even a character.

Wait the leviathan is dlc ??? Holy i only played legendary so they all seemed seamless

i don't think it's very fair the way you rated hades compared to ror2, it just felt like you were rating hades' bosses on stuff that doesn't affect gameplay while giving ror2 the gameplay exclusive review. granted, hades has a bunch of problems with the boss fights, but i've never felt like ror2's fights were strategic, i would just spam until they died (except that they and even normal enemies sometimes just have random one hit kos for no reason)

How many racial slurs can we come up with for batarians? (wait, what exactly would we call it? racism? specism?)

The biggest plot hole about this dlc is why didn’t they time the mass effects distraction with the reapers entering the system and how are the batarians not racist to Shepard since he genocided them

But….. they were indoctrinated

Kai Leng should've been a reanimated /cloned "whoever you let die in Virmire". That would've been better because Sheppard themselves were reanimated, so there is the doubt if they were still the same or not. It would gave emotional meaning too, in a way selecting not only a future companion but also a rival.

I've never heard Citadel described as "Shepherd's loyalty mission" but oh my god that is exactly what it is!!!! I can't believe I never thought of that.

Never really got the kaiden is boring thing, in me1 he can come across as unintentionally hilariously creepy, plus he takes the piss out of Vega in me3 lol.

It’s always just dumb when characters you know are smarter than what’s displayed do stupid decisions for story progress

Welp, I suppose Kipkip played you, It must have been its goal to doom your play list… either that or you just made the mistake of using rebar instead of nail gun, oh well. I can’t really say much though because I’ve never actually faced him… hold up I got to go play ROR2, be right back.

18:20 that’s not really true as Sax could voice that batarian

Funny how people shit on jacob for cheating, then go onto me2 romance after romancing liara in me1

I know the video is old but it randomly popped up, and I hate Jacob. Was waiting for you to get to the romance. Was not expecting you to compare it to the genocide route of all things lmao

Did you know that Hand of the King attacks behind him, and he can turn around?

Whenever my friends would pick it up back in the day I'd be like "This is the only spoiler I will give you. DO EVERY SIDE QUEST YOU CAN BEFIRE GETTING THE IFF!"

I mean they gave us the worst black character but also the best with Anderson

Killing Mordin is BY NO MEANS "one of the most heinous and cruel choices" in gaming. That distinct dishonor falls to another ME3-choice: Siding with the Geth on Rannoch. You choose to annihilate a sentient species older than humanity because some of its leaders are stubborn, in favor of a bunch of up-jumped toasters. No soldier should follow Shepard after this choice. Certainly neither Garrus or Javik. This choice makes Shepard quite literally worse than Hitler, Heydrich, Eichmann, Mao, Stalin, Guevara, etc, combined

Jacobs only good advice is him suggesting that he does the vent-job. But thats maybe the game gaining a self-concious and realizes that Jacob really is the worst character and deserves death

So I believed the “Do these units have a soul” to be the same sort of question as “do humans have a soul”. Like we are not a total soul. Do each of us have a soul would be the most obvious question. I’m sure this has been commented before, just this is what I am thinking as I’m watching the video

Jacob is the only black crewmate. Jaavik: *snorts* primitive

Putting risk of rain 2's bossfights above hades is actually so crazy

finally (youtube recommand you to me) someone actually agrees with me about jacob

20:15 I still think whoever wrote the original and "fixed" endings had no idea what they were doing, it ignored who Shepard is and the fact that no one before the protheans called the kill machines reapers. the extended cut DLC wouldn't even make F tier with me 27:22 and what did they do with this idea of an origin? make it just a convoluted and contradictory mess
