THE ARRIVAL | Mass Effect 2 *TRUE* Ending - Blind Playthrough

[@Pir-o]

Interesting parallel to DLC from ME1. There you stop Baterians from launching an asteroid into a planet. Here you doing basically the same thing yourself and blowing up their whole system.

[@KingdomAce]

This completely slipped my mind in the moment, superrrr wild!

[@brexter5944]

47:41 That pyro caught you with your pants down bro lmao

[@KingdomAce]

I was so shook LOL

[@Kolic1984]

Your comment about wanting to play a game again for the first time is a big reason why I watch Let's Play videos like this, it lets me vicariously relive the experience through someone else in a way that playing it myself just doesn't do. GOAT

[@fadeddragon123]

Like I said. You should be even more proud of the finale. The fact you managed to save it at all was impressive.

[@Anonymos185]

"You've done a hell of a thing, Commander" Man, what a line to sum up the events of this DLC. Hackett is a real one. If Anderson is "Captain Dad", then Hackett is "Uncle Admiral"

[@user-zg6kb7jf4l]

Hackett is the cool old uncle that has your back.

[@WilliamCoyle-ll6bq]

Mass effect 3 is going to be fier watching you play I have enjoyed watching your journey through the series and 3 makes the world come alive and feel so flushed out

[@KingdomAce]

I hope you all enjoyed this series, it was the experience fo a life time! Don't forget I have a pretty big announcement @ 1:41:55, its a little long so I wont feel bad if you listen to it at 2x speed ❤

[@MumShepFromMars]

This is my first comment on any video on youtube (actually had to create an account to leave this comment). I just had to tell you that your Mass Effect videos are a delight to watch! I absolutely love the style of your videos, my favourite youtube-channel by far. I cannot wait to see you in ME3. GOAT! I should go

[@T7yronnie]

BRO!!!! GREAT PLAYTHROUGH!!!! You are in deep now. Mass Effect 3 is peak. Put on your big boy drawers because decisions and choices are coming your way my brother lol.

[@KingdomAce]

THANKS! I'M SO READY 🫡

[@balgafor]

The time has come! I can't wait for you to experience the decisions in ME3. GOAT 🐐

[@ascissordollynamedgwen9409]

Here is some feedback for the saved Finale. You commander sheparded very well, and put the illusive man in his place. Also it was very good! Great job Shadow broker!👍

[@geoffreycannon2197]

Playing through KoTOR and mass effect and dragon age... all my favorite games, my comfort games, my digital solitude and friends.. that's what I've subscribed for. Your love of the challenges and difficulties of the storytelling.. and your attention to detail and lore without getting bogged down in mechanics. Now, if only there was a way to see you play Planescape: Torment .. but that one is a bigger challenge to run than KoTOR- it was released back in 1999!

[@lucas.n.carvalho.artist]

Goat! Now this story is complete, and a new one starts! Once again, thank you so much for providing us such an amazing playthrough! I'll wait till the start of the ME 3 Let's Play before giving you any nonspoilery tips to help your playthrough, but I'll recommend these videos for specifically scanning in the galaxy map: Mass Effect 3 Scanning Guide by GTAVLoclock, and Mass Effect 3 Easiest Way to Scan by IGN. Everything else we'll leave for the actual playthrough to give you guidance without outright ruining the surprises or forcing your hand. It's your playthrough at the end of the day, and we're all on-board with you for this awesome journey no matter what!

[@LukeBrock-f6p]

Love this series so much! You're doing a great job and thank you so much being genuinely invested and immersed in the game. I see so many other people on youtube who play this series and just treat it like a job and they don't allow themselves to really get pulled into the game. They always talk during dialogue and don't pay attention when important cutscenes happen and I believe it takes away from the experience. So, thank you for doing a great job and it gives me great joy to see someone genuinely enjoy and get sucked into the game like I did! Can't wait for Mass Effect 3!

[@chiraakitteh4091]

I was giggling so much when you reloaded when you were fighting in the Object Rho room. 😂

[@mateuszprzybya4352]

Its almost 50 k subscribers i have personal wish for more people can support you even in smal degree -im very happy to see all episodes as soon as possible ):. It is like birhtday present for us that we will see ME3 on thise channel very soon (it sounds like christmas present for many of us). I sadly say that i know other youtuber from my country that end ME2 and dont start ME3 to nowadays(:(one of most idiotic decision ever!) -so im glad you avoid that mistake .These game is a few aspects is irresistible to the nowadays .I m a little sad for only thing-you cant feel ME3 in multiplayer unfortunately.(It was only in oryginal no remaster version game -we played as geth ,salarian even collector ).It is wise to not see bad endings-you invest much strong effort on your Shepard and team and whay you really schould see bad endings when you do everytching properly and have all good?

[@KingdomAce]

thanks for the kind words! however, end the end, I DID go and react to the bad endings :/ but at least it was comical in a way! As a member, it should already allow you to view the uncut version if you're interested! The edited version will be out tomorrow! kzbin.infoUgkxIKZLWBpjpVg1dmfu7bqiJf0MYQQwMJFQ

YOU NEED TO GET ON UNCHARTED. ID BE HELLA EXCITED FOR THAT. The dialogue is especially well written i think. Its super charming

[@Manuelz]

Cant wait to see you play ME3 hope you like it as much as I do! Goat.

[@tonybooth1438]

Goat. Loving your play through man.... Your obvious immersion is infectious... Bring on ME3 and engineer build for the drone!

[@WilliamCoyle-ll6bq]

You can do all that stuff but honestly I watch you play because you have a good attitude and a different style then a lot of people I like how you talk about the mission and your opinions and what you think is going on and you're pretty good at getting it right like with the human reaper I was impressed with the thought you have put into the game and I know the community is sometimes critical if you don't play to there standards but please play it your way I've really enjoyed it and I will be helping the channel as soon as my bills (daughter in college) are reduced. But I can't wait for mass effect 3 and hope you enjoy it as well.

[@chiraakitteh4091]

Excited for ME3! Also, GOAT!

[@aCupOfCoffee.]

goat. Always appreciate the time and effort you put into your content, thanks man.

YOU'RE THE BEST ❤️🐐

[@LatashaMoore-y7r]

I appreciate how you always teach me something new all of the time I thank you for it

[@matthewwilliams2093]

A quick note for ME3 because this DLC had it happen and it will happen on a few occasions in ME3 (including the opening): When the game gives you a new companion in the middle of a mission, PAUSE and take the time to assign the new companion's skill points, even if it is just to hit the "auto level up" button. If you don't, the new character will only have a single skill point assigned and therefore be far less combat effective than they otherwise could be.

[@vlastapiatimuzik5686]

Thanks for playing the ME series 🙂

[@JottQ]

Without spoiling anything: fyi the VERY first person you ever talk to in the ME3 beginning cinematic (before you actually start playing) has their own little anime movie that explains their backstory ("paragon lost"). Not majorly important, but i think its worth watching (not necessarily on the channel). The fan base seems to be somewhat divided when it comes to that person, and i think the movie helps understand them a bit better.

[@Lekuster93]

I was lucky to find that movie on DVD and I've made it a habit of always watching it through between playthroughs of ME2 and ME3. Makes the whole experience feel more complete 😁❤️

[@JottQ]

@Lekuster93 nice! I think it's available on KZbin as well, albeit a pretty shit quality version iirc - but I didn't mind that, just wanted to watch it in whatever form I could

[@chiraakitteh4091]

Good movies, they take some liberties with tech lore, but I still enjoy watching it every year.

[@coldriceproductions1414]

woahh i never seen this DLC before soo this was intresting, this now makes more sense on why mass effect 3 started .. (youll see when u play it)

1:04:30 Sure, Shepard is great. But if we talking literally the best video game character in history? For me Arthur Morgan from RDR2 takes the cake.

[@KingdomAce]

Have not played RDR2 yet!

[@lucas.n.carvalho.artist]

Great choice! I'm more traditional, so my choice for the best would be Sonic the Hedgehog. Still, there's no shortage of amazing characters in gaming. This art form is something special!

[@davida.j.berner776]

[@Macintosh1001]

Someone actually waited and left their game running for days for that countdown to reach 0. 😅

[@KingdomAce]

I assumed it just resets or doesn't actually hit 0?

[@Macintosh1001]

@@KingdomAce There's actually a horrifying game over cutscene.

[@coffeeveins]

The easiest way to see the countdown end is the final stretch before you radio the Normandy. There’s only 30 minutes left, so it’s a much smaller time investment(or can just watch video of others who did it.🤷‍♂️).

[@xdeathxcorpx]

1:38:08 I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Mass Effect playthrough on YT. 😊

[@Kukilu]

Looking forward to ME3, I think you'll really dig it. Some of my most memorable times are from 3. There are some great story happenings and the gameplay is smooth and fun. ME2 will always be my favorite tho.

[@chiraakitteh4091]

I also laughed when you said “the game always gives you enough ammo”… on insanity it’s pretty scarce, have to hit your headshots. They might have adjusted it a bit for MELE tho.

[@iamboringvideos6832]

37:20 you could actually just wait that timer out and see the results but best to do that for when the timer gets shorter later in the DLC 42:52 you can survive this encounter, to a point, not sure if there is an achievement but some have lasted a very long time. i havent succeeded but thats alright, im always taking risks.Yet again i do play on Hardcore difficulty, which is noticably harder then normal. But congrats on getting to the very end of that fight. but yeaH this DLC does have some plotholes though but what ever. 1:21:18 yeah the skybox is pretty neat, but you can notice getting closer to the mass relay. Hackett is like a grandpa to you 1:41:44 Goat, damn the next series is in paying peoples hand, despite me wanting half life content.

[@frostedcrabcake1592]

26:27 Personally I wouldn't recommend that. In ME3 personally i feel like the drone got a massive debuff and isn't as good anymore. However you go whatever you wish, loving the series and how you handled your last video! You did an amazing job saving it!

[@coffeeveins]

Actually, I find the Engineer Class(main class with drones)to be the most powerful in the third game. Not for just the drone, but for the turret AND the hack ability that lets you turn what’s normally one of the more frustrating enemies(enemy engineers)into a bonus for you, since you can hack their turrets against them, so you have twice the normal firepower(3 turret/drone combo, and you and your teammates with your guns) shooting at foes, and twice the targets for them to focus on.

[@Daralyndk]

for the record I would love to see you do Uncharted series. That is one of my most favorite games of all times

[@insertnamehere6659]

Once more, spoilers for those who haven't played this DLC! This DLC was developed, written and finished during ME3's production cycle, which is why some of the dialogue feels... confusing. There were other factors, but for the sake of your experience with the next game I shall not bring them up. Just know that corporate BS is the reason why Kenson's dialogue was a bit strange.

[@insertnamehere6659]

[@chiraakitteh4091]

You do need to remember that the Reapers are going to genocide every advanced race in the galaxy.

[@megaman7374]

You should watch the 'bad' ending of arrival, when the countdown actually reaches 0. It's a scary little cinamatic. Long enough for a short if you're so inclined

[@iamboringvideos6832]

26:20 well Vanguard is pretty broken though, and fun, cant say the same for Engineer, which has the combat drone, but if you want to Destroy anything that moves with nothing but your body as you fly at them and cause explosions in there face (even heavily armored enemies aint safe from you), Then Vanguard is the way to go. Its hard to not pick Vanguard considering how lethal you are in medium to close range Plus incendiary ammo and cryo ammo are pretty sick. And as someone said the combat drone in ME3 isnt great, and in Mass effect Andromeda, its useless, besides being a distraction.

[@lukezuluaga9243]

They really tried to Order 66 the GOAT

[@kurtslavain]

I think the guards not taking damage at first was a feature. They wanted you to do the stealth thing. Still, idk why they didn't just make the mission failed and let you try again, instead. Maybe because you have to die for the misdion to fail and let you reload.

[@WilliamGuy-k3z]

Can’t wait for me3 and kotor

[@chiraakitteh4091]

It won’t have more points but your powers will transfer less randomly. It’s not a spoiler to say that you can respec in me3, just not at the beginning.

So glad you are enjoying this game it is my favorite games series of all time, even though you have probably started ME3 at the time of us seeing this let me say the engineer is awesome but please do not discount the Vanguard, Infiltrator, Adept or Sentinel as they are all powerhouses in ME3 the soldier is the weakest in ME3.

Off of topic but, all the Hallf Life games are on sale, even Half Life Alyx, their on a Huge discount. Take advanage when possible,i dont think i seen it go this low before.

[@iamboringvideos6832]

@KingdomAce oh, so you already gotten all 8 games? Nice, though im sure you got a plan for Half life alyx, to be able to play it at the best possible experience no doubt?

[@Belnick6666]

Can you still use the app with dragon age origin for the origin ? not played it for superlong, just remember I liked the storyline of Dwarf Royal the most, followed by human royal, I think lol It is such a great game, but Veilguard is NOTHING like the epic Dragon Age Origin, veilguard is not even a dragon age game, as they removed ALL dragon age game mechanics lol just googled, apperently it was not an app, but something you did on the servers, on the website and it seems they shut it down now?

[@Kendermagocska]

The reason why I think it's not fitting storywise if you do the Arrival DLC last, because this way you end the Mass Effect 2 by stopping the Reapers from arriving. And than in Mass Effect 3 (minor spoiler) you'll see immediately them arriving anyway. So you cannot even say that you delayed the Reapers arrival so you can't justify blowing up a solar system when the next day they are knocking at your door.

[@MADGGDL]

6 months passed since Sheppard turning himself in to the beggining of ME3, he did delay them. Maybe not as much time as we'd like in a way but he did.

[@CmdrVictory]

Bro, he did delay them. Not just for one day.

[@Pir-o]

Someone didn't pay attention to dialogue at the beginning of ME3... also I would still count this as spoiler
