Lol I love the "It takes years of skill and training to become a Pathfinder" "Pathfinder" was a last minute made up rank for the initiative, she says as if that was an already stablished and important role like a Spectre or N7.

[@nobody2996]

4 years late, I know, but I'm surprised no one else has talked about this. Seriously, Pathfinder is a position they made up for their initiative and hasn't been actually used until Ryder came along; why do they keep talking about it like it's long established title with a lot of reputation surrounding it? Everyone talks like the Pathfinder is some well known trusted hero that they immeditaly trust can solve the impossiable, which is especially odd when it seems like the qualifications for being a Pathfinder are more about being decent soldier than anything that actually has to do with establishing colonies in a new alien system. What would the Pathfinders be expected to do if it didn't just conviently turn out to be a bunch of terrorforming structures (that the Initiative didn't pick up when they mass effect telescope scanned the planet?) that would make the planet's livable? "A Pathfinder would relish the challenge." It makes no fucking sense.

@@dagothurik1815 Actually, Ryder was given N7 training from their father. That’s where Ryder’s N7 skills come from because they were given the training. Honestly, I don’t see the problem with the Pathfinder title. Their role is literally what a pathfinder is.

[@DarkVWolf]

Pathfinder is not a rank. It’s a title/role. It’s also not made up; the US military has Pathfinders.

[@kylegilliam5389]

Okay, KOTOR, I get. But the original Mass Effect? Wasn't Shepard experienced enough to be considered a Spectre? I don't get how he was a new guy who was being trained by someone more experienced than him, but dies. That didn't happen in ME1. :/

[@dbaash9749]

Storm you went from a N7 operative working under Anderson who was benched on the citadel so you could become a captain to a ship that's not yours (also a spectre)

[@SteveJonesGamingGWO]

Storm the Shepard being ready for specters thing seemed like an informed attribute as to why Shepard would be considered more than something the story builds up to

[@maxwuup2152]

interestingly enough, the plot he describes totally matches dragon age: origins story, too. maybe they should hire some new writers.

[@captainmattgamer5745]

Storm is sort of right. Commander Shepard was a N7 Operative with years of service, and was effectively mentored by Anderson (who could have been a Spectre himself if it wasn't for Saren), but Anderson didn't die until ME3. However before Shepard could become a Spectre, he was evaluated by Nihlus, a Turian Spectre who nominated him. Nihlus was originally meant to accompany Shepard for Several Missions and was likely to become his mentor, but on the first mission, Nihlus was killed by Saren. Shepard became a Spectre after proving Saren's treachery against the council and his alliance with the Geth, so the title wasn't really passed over to him by Nihlus, but arguably didn't receive the training to being a Spectre. The ancient alien Maguffin thing is spot on though.

[@nichtlesbar9813]

I think that applies for kotor as well though. You already we're a badass, you just didnt know. So after some days of training you again, easily surpassed anyone

[@CrystalCoyoteX]

Here's one for Mass Effect fans. Remember this line? "LEMME OUT! LETMEOUTLETMEOUTLETMEOUT!" *rams into wall, snaps neck* Am I missing something, or was that nameless Salarian character leagues better than the entire cast of Andromeda? It's cool if you want to argue that, but think about it first. No awkward lines, completely fitting with what was happening, real EMOTION that made you BELIEVE in their predicament... and their deployment? Absolutely superb. Your heart skipped a beat. You asked yourself what the heck you'd just encountered. You got nervous about it. You felt it, and for those reasons, I say that just that moment alone had more power in it than anything I encountered in the entire time I spent playing mass effect andromeda. And that guy wasn't even a character you met twice. He was literally there for forty, seconds, if that.

[@JTtheMid]

Not a ME fan, but for fuck sake, that sounds like a much better character than any of the one's I've seen in this video 😂 That's the saddest thing I've ever read in my life

[@victoriasharpe1661]

I remember that, and yes he's better, real emotion. More everything

[@sarasunshinemt4444]

That small interaction gave serious weight to the concept of indoctrination, which was the whole motivation of Saren and those who followed him. It answered the question of why a Spectre would betray the council just for limited power from a conquering species, especially since Spectres were, by definition, fiercely independent and bad@$$ fighters. "Oh, he was just following orders" is what you think, then this guy bashes his head in on a wall and you realize it's way more powerful than you think.

The vaults in this game remind me of the vaults from borderlands. The vault's activation in borderlands caused a change to Pandora by triggering Irridium growth, both have ancient alien tech that is user friendly based on what power you have to manipulate it, and both create a narrative about some vilian who wants to harvest that vault's power for their own goals.

Which makes no sense because becoming a Spectre boils down to player choice/actions, and serves no purpose other than to open up a few easier dialogue options later.

i think you messed up your calculation somewhere. you know a light year is the distance light travels in a year right so it takes light 2.537 million years to get from earth to andromeda and they made it there in 634 years so theres no way they are only going 40x faster than light. if they were going at 40 times the speed of light they would have only went 25,360 light years in 634 years

You can't hold the developers responsible for the quality of their game, _it's not like it's their "job" or anything._ I've never made a game, but when you've played dozens of games, watched people play dozens of games, and learn pay attention to the details -- you learn how to define the good from the bad. I've also watched channels like A+Start, Shesez, Extra Credits, and several gamer essays. They all explain similar AND different aspects of game design. And besides, just compare this game's aspects to it's predecessors. That's fair enough, isn't it? Then try and defend it to anyone.

@@mystic0maggot401 Incorrect on the last point. ME3's ending sucked because Casey Hudson is yet another egomaniac of a writer who locked the other writers out of the writing room and threw out the original plot written by Drew Karpyshyn, aka the writer for most of Bioware's actually good games. He then threw a literal tantrum in public and on the Bioware forums over the reception to ME3's ending. EA is videogame satan, but Bioware is a hollow shell.

I actually think it made perfect sense to go colonize the Andromeda galaxy because it is the galaxy closest to the Milky way and also the drive cores in the ark are far more advanced than what was used in say any of the ships we saw in the other mass Effect games which hints that your information might be just as antiquated plus as you progress through the game you learn that the reason you went to colonize Andromeda was because of the Reaper Invasion the entire mission took off while Shepard was dealing with the collectors as a contingency plan so that if on the off chance Shepard failed all of the races would not die at the hands of the reapers. plus for anyone who read the books that came before this game came out you would learn that one of the jobs of the pathfinder was that in the event of Shepard succeeding in beating the Reapers the Pathfinder would have to find a way to reconnect with the Milky way and build a way for more people to come to the Andromeda galaxy and for people who wanted to visit the place they all came from easier than what the Arks had to endure.

I cant stop laughing to Ryder´s Derp Face 🤣🤣🤣

[@sirman-ez2tc]

Your use of sarcasm, is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I like the Kett, they're like discount collectors.

The dialogue looks horrible and so does the protagonist. Roses are red Violets are blue We came for hope But got only poo

sin 30 - actually, it is also toxic, and is a serious issue even when the P.C. puts a small crack in their visor. trying to switch the helmet back and forth would likely end up getting both killed, and even with the helmet, the few breaths taken still knocked the player character unconscious. 36 - i will hold that the original trilogy was not someone with inadequate training. if my understanding of the universe was valid, being an N7 is being among the best of the elite. and being tapped as a spectre on top of that shows even among elites, shep was a cut above. i am surprised you didn't mention dragon age origins though. 57, ok yea that bugged me a bit until they patched it, but i wish the cross-system travel was skippable. dunno about anyone else, i actually had one human with my through the entirety of the game - cora. 64 i agree - MAYBE once or twice. 3 times a planet, occasionally allowing one to slip through? i came up with a way to blow through them without the bypasses, but it still doesn't make me dislike it any less. 70, i didn't know that scene existed, but Kallo's reaction was funny as hell. 76, this is a slight stretch, but it is possible there were scans of Ryder jr. in the area available, and they linked the two. a stretch, but still possible, assuming comperable tech. that, or he also went to eos and found a scan of the player character. 79 i blame SAM, though it doesn't explain how non-pathfinder crews would understand them, unless a VI is embedded in everyone's physiology or the omni-tool can do that. which i seriously doubt. 128 the game mentions early that SAM basically rewired parts of ryders mind. though that should probably not transcend the gap between biology and technology, i pretty much said "fk it" 131 i will straight up call out "the scourge has never once moved to follow a ship" - clearly didn't pay attention at the start of the game, where the scourge is clearly moving to intercept the Hyperion. it also moves when the tempest semi-crashlands onto aya. some i agree with to this point, others i see where you come from, this one, no. 138 i will give you though, i was disappointed there wasn't some sort of saren-style boss battle(though dear god if they did that DO NOT MODEL IT AFTER THAT FIGHT! bouncy bastard...). maybe the devs thought the brawl to get there was good enough, and that was a neat fight with the conduit, but i still wanted to end Archon Gears of War style. overall i thought the game was decent, though i usually look more at the gameplay over the animations etc. my major issue with it is actually not inherent to the game - my hard drive is damaged, and when the game taxes it a little too much, and this is fairly often, my framerate will DROP. sometimes in sets of 20-30 seconds looking at the same frame. from a gameplay side, i really liked the research aspect, they really wove the science scanner into the game, though because of how i build, i have milky way points coming out of my everywhere, and even more helius points. the only thing im short at all on is remnant points, and thats because i decided at level 30 or so i wanted to follow a different weapon to allow my weapon mods to come through. because i cant carry 2 of the same level of sniper barrel. though i would guess if the shotgun i went after wasn't one of the ones you can just always craft, i might be a little more strapped for R.P. What should have been a sin in my mind - you cannot carry more than one of any gun mod, even if you attempt to buy them from a vendor. i modded out my black widow with a Barrel V at level 30, and tried to do the same to my Inferno sniper. i could not use the barrel V i had just bought on kadara.

Basically Bioware accepted a challenge from Hello Games no man's sky "no one can mess up as bad as we did." bioware "hold my beer"

[@Kulbinator]

This game is comedy in its purest form xD Thanks for the round up, laughed a lot !

[@haziqtheunique]

This is my favorite episode of Game Sins, if only for what MEA does to my favorite gaming franchise. EA, why?

[@basicfailure101]

The entire point of a Dyson sphere is that you put one around a star, to allow the collection/use of 100% if its emitted energy.

[@gabrielathero]

I have no objections. Wich is sad because ME:A could have been so great. That´s what you get for not letting the original writers do the plot and for rushing the project.

[@passingrando6457]

"Letting the original writers" The original writers weren't about to be "let" shit. All of them fucked off from Bioware before ME3 was finished, and several have said you couldn't pay them enough to return for any reason, including the guy that wrote ME1 and 2. EA killed that company a decade ago, and it's just been parading the corpse around since.

[@Tomith]

23:40 Hey Hey Hey! Can we adress how good those animations were on the Arkon in this scene?

[@TheDeathNote91]

You think Commander Shepard had insufficient training? Please

[@Ventus_S]

The voice acting seems SO cheap budget in this game.. Like seriously? Check the Persona 5's voice acting, it's like diamond vs shit...

[@Gillyexp]

5:43 - Except that in KOTOR 1 you are actually the former Sith master of the present main villain that is still one of the best twists in gaming. Not exactly new on the job with that one, but I'll give you the rest. Oh and... Spoiler Alert

[@monotunezplus9588]

10:25 Did...did her arm just clip into Ryder's shoulder?

[@osirisjojo6876]

Yep

[@imarisharp6223]

1:26 "Hi. I'll be the human male teammate you never use past the first mission." Yeah I used Liam more times than I should, mostly because I got uncomfortable with Peebee with Cora arguing, Jaal flirting with the women, or having no clue on how to use Draak.

[@HunterRodrigez]

the text to speech sections are sad rather than funny... just like the writing in this game... and the game in general... and what Bioware has become...

[@joenesvick7043]

Here’s a trick about Sara Ryder, don’t use the default look, make your own. Even if you play the default Scott with default Alec switched on, just customize Sara. Was I the only one who did that? Cora & Suvi are hot. Peebee is the best looking Asari in Andromeda (still has nothing on Liara & Samara). Seriously any person that puts gameplay above story should love it, you can space boost (vanguard) whilst you cloak (infiltrator).

[@hussainvandeliwala5585]

I like a balance between gameplay and story.

[@BlackTiger001]

well I'm going to play mass effect 2 again

I vote Metal Gear. That would be fucking hilarious if you did it.

[@christinebouzas3090]

2:20 it's later explained that they found a Geth dark space satellite that was searching dark space presumably for the reapers that greatly reduced the time lag though it's conveniently did not say how much the time lag was reduced

The J. Jameson reference killed me.... lmao! Your sin count is 100% on the spot! I'm pretty sure you know where the light is coming from in a "Normal" Dyson's sphere.. but Meridian is way too small for that.

[@i.oshunsar7930]

Hey! "Kill me now" is one of the best scenes :). Ok, says much about the game...

[@i.oshunsar7930]

Sin 2 and 3 are wrong...

[@PsyrenXY]

I agree with most of the points in the video but just had one correction. The scourge isn't precisely what damaged the golden worlds - it's attracted to remnant tech, which just happens to be what the terraforming vaults on each of those worlds are made of. So when it reached and damaged each vault, the vault itself is what determined what damage occurred on each world (e.g. going crazy with heat, radiation, cold, plant life etc.) This is why the same scourge can have such different effects on each planet. The scourge being attracted to remnant tech also explains Ryder's strategy near the end, of flying remnant ships (which tow the scourge behind them) straight through the Archon's fleet, decimating it without the Initiative needing to have a fleet of their own.

[@LarzViking]

hahaha, this is bioware giving their fans the finger!

[@leodouskyron5671]

KZbin keeps putting this up on my TV on auto play and I laugh every time he asks where the light comes from in a Dyson Sphere ... then I realize that humor proves my nerdy nature.

[@Jel7841]

Wow this game is awful...

[@pest1l3nce]

lmao that text to speech was perfect we need more of this.

[@seanrogers3389]

(ENDING SPOILERS, just a warning if you're watching this and for some reason aren't expecting spoilers and just came to read comments) You can't even affect the ending at all! You can NOT fail the final mission because you didn't do enough loyalty missions and you were a downright asshole to everyone you meet. I have tried it myself, i did one play through on normal and did a good 3/4 of the loyalty missions and got the same exact ending as when i did no loyalty missions at all aside from one. I didn't help Sloane, i didn't colonise any other planets aside from Eos and basically ran through the game and none of the characters died and all of the same people came to aid in the end. Even if you say kill Sloane and keep Reyes alive i imagine it would also be the same as if she were alive just with different voice lines. It's like very very slight differences in endings with a new paint job. Another example is Vetra and her little sister who upon not doing any of their quests at all had the EXACT word for word ending as the previous time when i completed their missions. Wtf? This is not an RPG Bioware, this is you pretending to be playing an RPG when you're really being hand held all the way through. They stripped away what made Mass Effect so interesting in the first place and turned it into another Dragon Age inquisition. Come on Bioware, wtf is this?

[@sauce1542]

A RPG is not defined by multiple endings and I bet that when you played the trilogy you tried to get the best possible ending, what makes the whole thing with the consequences redundant. So it's not a valid argument against it.

[@seanrogers3389]

None of your dialogue choices really mean anything, whichever option you choose doesn't matter. You end you end up saying the same exact thing in a different way not to mention sometimes you don't even know what you're going to say at all. None of the choices you do make mean shit either outside of a few small dialogue options and such that might be closed off. Your choices will always result in you winning and no matter how you choose to go about it you win in essentially the same bloody way. For example in (SPOILERS AHEAD) Peebee's loyalty mission you can choose to kill the antagonist of the loyalty mission quest line and save this artefact or you can save her. Whichever option you choose it doesn't affect your romance options or even the way the mission ends. For some reason when you help her she takes you to her ship being flown by her minions presumably and then if you kill her you do the exact same thing for some reason allowing you to escape... Makes no sense and is just lazy af. Another example is the choice between making your outposts military and scientific and i tried both and both options look the EXACT same way. Not to mention there is another quest later that entails you stopping some Anagram rebels from attacking your outpost on EOS and it doesn't matter what type of outpost you have the quest goes the exact same way. No choice you make really does anything even the more major ones

[@tudorciubotaru3497]

sean rogers Wow, I hear that this game is boring AF, but you made yourself go through it twice?Da real MVP... Now, I personally LOVED Inquisition.The ending was meh, but the characters were likable and voiced pretty good.Now with this one other here...
