Mass Effect 2 game review

[@Tbear995]

In my opinion Mass Effect 2 is by far the best mass effect game in the trilogy. It is absolutely amazing.

[@GhostFace72911]

Couldn't agree more! One of favorite games of all time.

[@KingRudy10]

@Ultimate Warrior gross

[@Azzi_0161]

@Ultimate Warrior double gross

[@jaymartheone9483]

Andromeda is the worst out of them all but its not bad its just not that good lol

[@jaymartheone9483]

Andromeda has great game play too!!!shite story tho

[@nekocrumch7768]

tali is ok but garrus was just fucking awesome

[@dylangordon4741]

u knew is could replace tali tai from gow 2 (no not god of war gears of war)

[@francimarygarcia]

Mass Effect 2 was absolutely great, though i sort of missed Liara in my crew as i romanced her in the previous game

[@ndwwrestler2]

My Suggestion? Get the Shadow Broker DLC, it expands on Liara's story arc and the romance.

[@AnarielAnastil]

Thane, Garrus, Tali/Liara, uh Jack, uh . . . darn it. I was going to rate my favorite characters, but nope, I love all of them. Can't do it. Can't pick. Mass Effect 2 = my best gaming experience ever.

[@HonorableAssassins]

Easy. Garrus. Done.

[@The10Liam]

HonorableAssassins Thank you hahah.

[@HonorableAssassins]

The10Liam if i had the choice between the entire human race, and garrus, garrus is who i would choose to survive. he's also the only companion i really cared about, so when i played the mission (Minor) tali died in due to me making the "good" choice, and afew other missions where the "good" choices caused friends to die, i was like, the SECOND garrus gets a mission revolving around him, im gonna be the evilest son of a b*tch i can.

[@vero-kd8vg]

MORDIN MORDIN MORDIN MORDIN

[@Middlefingestudios1]

Top five favorite characters from this game 1. Garrus/Tali (can't choose) 2. Mordin 3. Legion 4. Thane 5. Grunt

[@amanibob1416]

I smiled, nodded and gave a like.

[@Veloziraptor111]

In retrospect, it's kinda sad to see how he's all hyped for Mass Effect 3, so sure it will be at LEAST as good as ME2 in terms of its ending... aaaand then we got the actual ending. Seriously, while ME3 beat ME2 in its missions, upping the scale by quite a bit, the ending mission in London doesn't come CLOSE to the Suicide Mission in terms of diversity and crew involvement and the structure of the mission itself. To this day I can't believe Bioware dropped the ball like that.

[@MsSomeone98]

Yeah, the Mako from ME1 did suck. Seriously, It was like trying to steer a hippo on a unicycle.

[@buca117]

I feel like people that played the original Halo and spent any significant amount of time driving the warthog and the tank probably had less trouble with the Mako. Honestly I hate the terrain a heck of a lot more.

[@mcguffindoe192]

Siddiq Ismail I agree. I do wish that they would have brought it back in ME2 only made it fun, like the arkham batmobile. Mako could have been awesome, but it sucked.

[@discogypsyfish9577]

But it's back!

[@Outlaw8908]

Actually no... it was the terrain that was a bitch.

[@Superyan115]

The best game I've ever played. Thane rules!

[@sethn5217]

I take it you played as a woman

[@Superyan115]

You are wrong.

[@sethn5217]

Superyan115 too bad... your missin out

[@Superyan115]

Why, you romanced Thane?

[@tkristians123]

Seth Norton Who the fuck romances Thane? I play as femShep on all my playthroughs and I always romance Liara. Best romance in the game.

[@addictedtors24]

Mordin Solas is one of my favorite characters in any game ever.

[@SplinteredX]

I agree 100% on the Renegade/Paragon points. I wanted to be renegade at some points, but I need the paragon to resolve certain conflicts

[@keasy666]

My favorite was Jack; the same reason why Shepard likes her: Cause she's different.

[@caseybv74]

Key Smith She's to emo, it makes her annoying. She's better in 3.

[@keasy666]

caseybv74 She is better in 3, especially her hair style.

[@Hitly96]

Key Smith I thought she wasn't as good in 3 because I romanced her in 2 but she wasnt a part of your crew in 3 and rarely showed up at all. :/

[@justinkubow9397]

I love tali she's just so cool and her people are interesting. Jack is just unstable and weird, in a bad way for me

[@steventan2754]

I ditched Ashley for Jack, didn't regret it :) And to those people who say she is too edgy or emo, I think it felt natural for someone who experienced what she's been through. This is not just some girl who's pissed at the world because she lost stuff. I won't get into much into the details but I think she deserves a lot more patience than most people would want to afford. And yeah, I'm also one of the people who were disappointed that she's not in ME3 that much as the other crew members. I felt incomplete when she's not around the Normandy. I would sometimes go down to her old spot in Engineering just to reminisce the talks we had down there.

[@PauLtus_B]

If you'll compare Mass Effect to Firefly Tali really is Kayleigh.

[@PauLtus_B]

***** Possibly. But my knowledge of Star Trek is really lacking.

[@PauLtus_B]

***** ... Well I wasn't planning to talk shit about Star Trek. know way too little about it to say something mean about it.

[@PauLtus_B]

***** IS THERE SEX WITH ALIENS!? Well I have been interested. Just haven't found a good moment to start. It's quite a "job" to start with that, there is a lot of Star Trek episodes.

[@PauLtus_B]

***** I did see those.

[@PauLtus_B]

***** ... Yeah I was joking I'm not actually interested in that.

[@angelherradora1108]

Got mass effect 2 two days ago for 4.99 best thing I ever did

[@stevenhughes5283]

Watching Jeremy’s reviews of these games again to relive even more of the nostalgia I’m feeling in the Legendary Edition

[@NightReaper213]

Garrus forever!

[@Middlefingestudios1]

I ended up falling for Tali, I just looked up the other romances afterwards because I was to lazy to do them, one thing that I noticed about Miranda that kind of scared me was that she looks kind of like Michael Jackson, I can never unsee that

[@przemekkrasowski540]

AT LAST SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!!!

[@sethn5217]

Przemek Krasowski You should of looked at Angry Joe's review of this game, he said that too.

[@przemekkrasowski540]

Seth Norton Thanks 😁

[@Middlefingestudios1]

Seth Norton I did right after I commented, pretty funny

[@psychobillynumbnuts1]

She has a wide nose and a wear constant smirk

[@venividivici2195]

what surprised me is how good mass effect 2 could run on even low end pc's at the time it was released and still look great considering 2010 graphics.

[@farldiemanie8775]

Veni Vidi Vici This game can run at decent framerates on my potato on low settings though

[@JeremyJahns]

@Texancoinz He can live, but That's up to you my friend.

[@Chico50445]

3:39-4:18 actually if you fully level up your Combat Mastery or Operative before spending points on other abilities(I'm assuming you play as either a soldier or infiltrator because you always talk about the snipers in these games) and do enough side missions or just interact with people enough, you can get the paragon or renegade points required later on so that can make the chaotic neutral a possible option. And if you're only referring to the Miranda vs Jack argument and Tali vs Legion argument you can gain their loyalty using the unlockable renegade choice, the difference is just whether or not you're a dick when you end their grudges.

[@cloudburst27]

Completely agree with how you felt about the new crew in ME2. The new crew does steal your heart and that last mission makes sure you understand that.

[@davidsonike]

Best Game Ever.LOVE THIS SPACE OPERA.

[@tkpat3893]

I have to say I really preferred using the Mako in ME1 than the surveying in ME2

[@ArcherAC3]

Same, I missed the actual exploration and EVA missions. ME2 and 3 feel like an infinite hallway the whole time.

[@brandontalbort]

Same ME2 is a great game, but ME1 even though with rough edges really made me immerse.

[@Drocksas]

Only thing I have to add to this video is Tali>Miranda in terms of romance. Tali's by far my favorite character from this entire series!

[@marthw1]

Just wanted to say their were loyalty missions in the first Mass Effect they just weren't labeled as such. Like getting Wrex's family armor, and giving Tali the data you find on the geth, and the Doctor Saleon mission for Garrus.If there were others I cant remember what exactly they were or if I just imagining that there were others, but those three definitely were some form of loyalty mission

[@dylan13droz]

Mass effect is my favorite sci fi game I love the characters love the story and the combat.

[@TheHowlingDark]

Aw man, the Mako. I loved that brick, you could go anywhere and over anything. Running down enemies was ever so satisfying, and I felt a great deal of amusement when I well and truly flipped the Mako upside-down or launched it off a cliff.

[@chimpychimp9285]

In me1 and me3 i fucked liara when i did a second playthrough from 1st to last i decided to romance a different character but i just ended up romancing liara again

[@JinX_11199]

Yep same lol

[@chimpychimp9285]

awesomekid120 i couldnt help it

[@phantomninja01]

I gotta say, seeing this video pop up in my sub box really made my birthday. Thanks Jeremy!

[@pezaventura]

Mojo should do "best asses in video games" #1= miranda!

[@leegsy]

I enjoyed the item management system in ME. The first time you play the game you don't realise how much stuff you accumulate and it sucks big time dealing with that when you get to you item limit but any other play throughs of the game I always keep on top of what I have and spend a lot of time selling stuff to the requisitions office on the Normandy. I really role play in the original Mass Effect. I love them all but the original is my favourite, even though it's a litte rough (especially on 360/PS3) at times, like the framerate is appalling at times on consoles but the game is so good you forgive these technical issues.

[@Jackscin]

*FREE ON ORIGIN GO GO GO GO!*

[@farldiemanie8775]

BluBlazez Flare *SPREAD THE WORD*

[@Gillian_Randone]

getting it right now

[@Hekdah]

too bad it didnt have the full dlc .....free game though...worth it

[@apscimio]

Love the Commander Shepherd outro. Miracle of Sound is awesome

[@Olivia-W]

I progressively like the gameplay in the series more, and progressively like the story less. It feels like ME1, the choppy, bugged, unrefined game really immerses me into the world of Mass Effect, whereas the polished, awesome ME3 feels plasticky and I keep getting kicked out of the experience. I mean, I love ME3 (sans ending), but it always feels like a _game_, same with ME2, and ME1 is more like an _experience_.

[@turtlelord9939]

ME1 did a great job establishing the world, but ME2 will always be better imo. I just got into the series about a month ago, and I can't see anything ME1 did better unless you count the intro into the series. I found the story of ME1 a little bit harder to get into because of how awkward it was as a game, while ME2 had me hooked immediately. Something about the high stakes of everything, the setup with the Collectors, and the damn suicide mission, not to mention the INCREDIBLE gameplay just made me immediately invested in everything. Haven't played to much of ME3, as my second disk is scratched. Still, I know a place that fixes scratched disks for a really low price, so it's more a matter of not getting around to it. Basically, ME2 took everything that made me like the first one and multiplied it by God. I love it that much.

[@szymonwarsocki3942]

Turtle Lord And, have you already Finished Me3?

[@CReaper210]

I personally liked Legion the most. You don't even get him until the game is almost over, but I think he is the most interesting character, only if he was introduced earlier. I really liked how you could take him on Tali's loyalty mission and have them react to a Geth like that. Hope he is in ME3.

[@damonlawson9447]

THE END WAS FUCKING STRESSFUL I WAS LIKE OOH SHIT NO NO AAAHH WHY DID YOU DID NOO WHY OH MAY GAWD IM GONNA KILL MYSELF. For real I was sweating I didn't know that a game had so much effect on me. It had Mass Effect on me XD

[@Stanlos]

+Damon Lawson I super-enjoyed Mass Effect 2. It is one of my favorite games of all time. The scoring is tremendous!

[@brandontalbort]

I honestly loved ME1 way more. The immersion and openness on the side missions and planets was pretty fantastic. Always on my toes when a crazy overpowered troop of geth could just surprise you. That planet with the sphere you find... one of the biggest "holy f this is cool" moments. While ME2 is super clean and polished with a top tier visuals, story and great characters, it removes some of the vastness, freedom and space for the player's imagination with lots of linear 3rd person corridor shooting.

[@brandontalbort]

12+ years later lol

[@Wayne_ward]

Kinda a low blow to Micheal J. Fox, you should respect people with disabilities. No Sub.

[@RowanJColeman]

Mass Effect 2 is a prime example of a developer who cares about their fan base. About 97% of all problems from ME1 (still great game) and made an even better and brilliantly crafted game.

[@marjunv005]

before i buy/play game or watch a movie... I always check JeremyJahns review first! can't wait for the review on MASS EFFECT 3!

[@PILGRIM_Official]

I love the mass effect series and I agree Tali is one of my favorite characters

[@ChuckBrowning]

@jstein1992 It's rather complicated, but there is a method to the madness. If you want any teammate to survive, he or she HAS to be loyal. There is no way to save a non-loyal member. Only a loyal Jack, Tali or Kasumi can survive on the vents; only a loyal Samara/Morinth or Jack can survive after deploying the biotic barrier; only a loyal Jacob, Miranda or Garrus can survive as the leader of the second fireteam; and only loyal memebers live after holdig the line and helping you defeat the Reaper.

[@CdrJohnShepard]

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite reviewer on KZbin!

[@JohnZaun]

I felt how you did about Paragon and Renegade the first couple of times in the game but then it got to the point where it was like 'screw it' I was going to play the characters how I wanted, and it still worked out pretty well.

[@TeeMayneTV]

It's so awesome that you reviewed Mass Effect 2..I love these games and Mass Effect 3 is my most anticipaed game of 2012

[@ShadowNetWeaver1]

You sir, are a genius to put that song at the end of this video.

[@MrPhilsterable]

Nice! Miracle of Sound at the end.

[@Dannyos20]

Loved mass effect 2 just as much as Mass effect 1 but i would've liked to have seen more of kaidan rather than a 5 minute argument. Your right the gameplay and mechanics were improved alot and ofcourse Tali is the favorite crew member in 2 casue she is just so darn cute. :)

[@vashrises5433]

I didn't mind the landrover so much -- like being on an away team. All in all, these M.E. are some of the most fun games ever made. You should mention the gorgeous soundtracks too. Pure epic gaming joy.

[@Snkcc5]

Actually in mass effect 1 the squad mates did have loyalty missions except for Kaidan and Ashley. Garrus had Dr. Saleon, Tali asked for a copy of geth data, Wrex asked to find his family armor and technically Liara asked to be there when you confronted benezia

[@baldingsan457]

My favourite is Garrus. I always took him in almost every mission during the three Mass Effect games. Also Miranda, Jack, Thane and Mordin

[@nicksmi56]

Do a Knights of the Old Republic review once you finish with Mass Effect 3. Given that you're a major Star Wars fan, you'll love it

[@TheGrimmCommoner]

Great story, action, characters, dialog, graphics, missions and mission structure (loyalty missions were a genius concept), diversity of enemies, score and conclussion.

[@PauLtus_B]

I really think this was a huge improvement over the first game. And I played this game because I thought the first one was great. Plays better, no more insane micromanaging, building your suit's better. Better dialogue and the loyalty missions gave better characters. Overall you team contol is a lot better. Honestly I do prefer a overheat system, or at least something where you don't have to go around to get ammo. If it's a long reload time or overheat it just feels more like a dimension in the gameplay rather than having to find stuff. Thane's probably my favourite character.

[@PauLtus_B]

Inquisitor Trevelyan I understand that you like the control of this inventory, but I think it kind of breaks the game that every time you pick up an item I'd stop to check wether it was a better weapon.

[@AustinEEEE]

playing through it right now as a vanguard and I'm loving it, getting ready for mass effect 3

[@01Andor]

Oh my god, that song just made my day!!! I haven't heard that in so long!!!! Tali and Garrus are my favorite crew members, easily, but followed by Mordin and Legion, and... honestly, they're all amazing. We don't need to pick! Cannot wait for Mass Effect 3!!! (Assuming control)

[@A7XMetallicaFTW]

Okay, I almost never like videos, I don't know why I never click the like button, I just don't. BUT, when I saw the end of this review and it started playing the Commander Shepard song, I just HAD to click the like button. Good job JJ. From now on I will exclusively like your videos now. You made me break a habbit by playing the Commander Shepard song.

[@WillBNunn]

Jeremy, I highly recommend u download the demo for Mass Effect 3. Its incredible and at one point, very emotional. U guys should download it too. It came out today

[@ThePorterStyle]

Ive had the preorder since August. Bring it on.

[@love2game4life]

@fullenangelcindy12 the purpose or need for games is a truly immersive interactive experience where you feel connected to your character and the people around.the art of the media is making feel what they feel because you feel you've been on a journey with them and that is something no other media can do.if you have a console I recommend you renter or buy a game like portal 2 or mass effect 2

[@WillBNunn]

Jeremy, your Michael J Fox Metal Gear Solid quote was probably the funniest thing I've heard you say in a long time. Review Metal Gear Solid!!! And are u gonna play the Mass Effect 3 demo next week?

[@DJET-ss4bj]

Playing the legendary edition now and fell in love with the series all over again. Your visual description of the Mako from ME1 had me on the floor! LMAO 🤣😆 It's so true for the 3 people in the world who haven't played this series yet.

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

Haven't played it

[@johnharris721]

Just came across your reviews of my favorite game of all time, Mass Effect. Without the dlc for all 3 games, its ending is unsatisfying, but with it, i find it amazing. Played this game hundreds of times. I do think ME2, is the best. Truly exciting. Love your reviews.

[@Legion617]

loved the ending song

[@jason8897386]

I loved Mass Effect and at first was not in favour of the changes in Mass Effect 2. After about 3 or 4 hours my opinion had completly changed and I was in love with this game. I got all the downloads and am just waiting for Mass Effect 3 to come out. This series is a must play if you have an Xbox or play PC.

[@aurathedoof3037]

Miranda's weird face animations kind of killed her hotness factor for me. Still a good character. Also, the sun is bright, grass is green, and my favorite character is Garrus.

[@DeathGodRiku]

I like talking and interacting with the crew members. As for the planets, yeah I'm with you there. I would have liked to been able to land on planets and explore them.

[@josephsteven9520]

Jeremy thank you for this! Mass Effect is my new favorite game series and i would never have played if it wasn't for you! Thanks so much!!!

[@lildrumrboy2001]

i already have my pre-order for ME3, so pumped for it

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

Played Mass effect 2, haven't gotten far but love it, looking forward to ME3

[@TheNatureFreak1]

As of now, I am halfway through Mass Effect 2 for the first time, and started it right after I fnished Mass Effect 1. And holy fucking shit!!!!!!!! This game just blew my mind after the first 10 minutes. Mass Effect 2 improves EVERYTHING from Mass Effect 1 and took in all they learne from the shortcomings in the first game. I am so addicted to the game, I don't even want it to end! This might just be my new favorite gam of the 7th generation along with Red Dead Redemption and Uncharted. Definitely a fan

[@StormsEyeScepter]

I haven't played the third game yet at all, not even finished with the second one, because I am taking my sweet ass time with ME2. I freaking love this game. I just can't stop playing it. Garrus is the cutest out of them all. No question.

[@zales20]

After all my years of gaming ME2 is w/o a doubt one of the best games i've ever played. It also holds the prize of having one of the most epic intros to a game i've ever seen.

[@bvishal2kn]

GOD! how long have i been waiting for this!!!!!!

[@101mattlewis]

happy 400 vids buddy! :)

[@Olivia-W]

Muahaha I mastered the Mako controls btw. The sense of accomplishment when it goes (and shoots) precisely where you want, when you want is amazing.

[@Interloper567]

Just barely finished ME2 and I gotta say that game was insane. Gonna start ME3 before I hit the sack. I definitely recommend this game to every single person out there regardless of what you hear from reviews. This has got to be one of the best series available on the market. 10/10 all the way from me.

[@Thunderboom5]

@Thunderboom5 Other than that...the Mass Effect series is my favorite video game series of all time. I've played through ME2 nine times with four different Commander Shepards, two of which were imported from ME1. All of my squadmates made it out alive in each playthrough, but as for the rest of the Normandy crew, it alternates. However, I am absolutely psyched for Mass Effect 3 and I might just play it more times than both previous games combined.

[@masterman3178]

the best moment in that game is the ending when you get to choose people to split up and based on who u sent where they lived or died

[@lykan2]

To this day i dont get why people hated the Mako. I never ever had any problem controlling it. Its one of the best things to drive, right behind the Warthog.

[@szymonwarsocki3942]

lykan2 when i played me and got to mako i was like "ohhh so this is what the were talking about all the time, this is going to suck" but suprisingly, i enjoyed it 😁

[@ScreamingTc]

@TheSmokingLounge Firewalker's hover tank was a vast improvement over the Maco. I actually enjoyed it hugely in comparison. Plus the Firewalker story arc was actually incredibly well written. So was the 'Arrival' come to think of it. Hell the Mass Effect series has got to be the only series I've not felt let down by story wise (thus far).

[@OnlyRoke]

I only played ME2, didn't buy 3 yet and haven't played 1, but I gotta say that this game is fucking amazing! You just love all the crew members and in the end I tried it so often, that everyone survived the last mission. I felt somehow obliged to save everyone, because they are so goddamn cool!

[@rolandovega7471]

There are a lot of mechanics in ME1 that ME2 didn't have which made the first one a better experience for me.

[@useful76]

Just got done another full run through all 3 games. Took me from 4/28 till 6/10. Over 130 hours. Still love this series despite the ending.

[@1999benr]

Mass effect 2 is literaly the best game i have ever played

[@id0stuff]

mass effect 2 is my fav rpg of all time, can't wait for the 3rd one

[@Siimon204]

I love this game. One of my all time favorites. I play on the 360, and I love the scanning! c: Did only scanning for 7 hours.

[@Thunderboom5]

OH F*** YES! I've been waiting for this review forever. Thank you so much.

[@kpdrrn32]

I think everyone loves Tali xD I feel completely the same way about her that you do. I played as FemShep so I just got with Liara twice, it was cool. Cannot wait for ME3!!

[@TheGeckoNinja]

your ending music surprised me i was expecting *the clacky clacky beat* XD

[@aiwash2766]

Legit watching this 9 year old Jeremy jahns video after finishing mass effect 2 in the legendary edition, I could only imagine what it was like to play this on the 360 when it came out I truly missed but so happy I can play it now

[@monkeyjoe70]

yes indeed

[@xHumanCentiPadx]

My absolute favorite game series of all time.

[@MatiPryjomko]

Mass Effect 2 is my favourite game of all time (yes I did play all three of them).

[@angel07p]

i agree man the intro to this game was AWESOMETACULAR

[@UniversalLimbo]

I wonder when we'll be seeing your review of Mass Effect 3? How awesome is it so far Jeremy?

[@BrianSmith3614]

@JeremyJahns This is definitely one of my fave video game franchises and the only one where I won't be El Cheapo and wait for the price to go down. ME 3 will be bought on the day of release just like i did with ME 2. :-)

[@josephsteven9520]

Jeremy! i played ME1 for the first time 2 weeks ago because of you and its my new favorite game. i just started ME2 a couple days ago and it is soooo much more epic than ME1. i cant wait for ME3 and to see the epic fail of an ending everyone is talking about

[@winkledorf17]

@RIPROKU I love you.

[@MatiPryjomko]

ME1: Reapers? ME2: Ah, yes. "Reapers" ME3: Oh shit! Reapers!

[@sammydidds]

I'll probably get mass affect 3, I like the look of the multiplayer and how the kinect works with it.
