Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition- Suicide Mission (Paragon, Everyone Lives)

[@16Vagabond]

Gotta be one of the best endings to a game of all time. Still gives me chills.

[@sandrols7]

Same. Even knowing that, when fully equipped with all upgrades and loyalty from the crew, I still get anxious and ecstatic during the whole of the mission!

[@albertoj.mollinedo4116]

And that’s why ME2 with all its imperfections is the GOAT!

[@nakfoor1846]

The weight and stakes of the situation feel so real!

[@deb585]

I love watching how others played missions I've played. This is still my all time favorite mission ever and I'm a gaming grandma so that's saying something.....I've played ME2 so many times just to get here and play it again!!

[@s.o.q2914]

It was tension but worth it

[@jeremytung1632]

Play Shepard full paragon and he’s basically a deep space captain America, or captain humanity more like it, the very best we have to offer.

[@FillmGeekOfDoom]

Yeah, that's how I play him.

[@twotailedavenger]

Captain Alliance

[@mileselon1339]

Shepard is without a doubt the best of the best! And I see no reason how he could possibly die in ME3. I swear if that rumored ME4 doesn't have Shepard, then what are we doing?! The the guy just never dies. The last time he did he didn't even stay dead! NO I was necromanced back to life!

[@zackjattack1531]

Still one the greatest finale missions in video game history. Yes it is that good!

[@albertoj.mollinedo4116]

Too bad greed, idiocy, and politics messed up ME3, shame really. ME went from a cool space opera action RPG, to then the greatest game of all time in the genre, with amazing story and char. devlpmnt, player engagement, and dark blade-runner like atmosphere, to a rushed, half-thought, pointless, soulless game, filled with plot holes, questionable marketing, woke appeasing, hot pile of mess put together in a very lazy way. Casey Hudson must be ashamed and Drew Karpinshin must be really disappointed.

[@albertoj.mollinedo4116]

And I thought Andromeda would be a redemption story for the series, instead it was a rushed badly put together game. The story was lacking and the content was sub-par for the legacy of ME. Still I found it a good, fun game nonetheless.

[@joshuaromani4241]

It really holds up through all of these years. Every single choice you made in the game comes to a head in this mission. From the ship upgrades, to the companion missions, to who you choose to bring on your final team. An absolute master class on game and character design. I miss this bioware a lot.

[@Lajos_Kelemen]

You are shredding them with the Avenger, I thought nobody uses that thing after getting the Vindicator

[@Moeflyer6213]

1st Round: Send Tali as Tech Specialist, Jacob as 2nd fire team leader. 2nd Round: Jack as biotic field, Garrus as diversion team, Mordin to escort the Normandy crews. 3rd Round: Take Miranda and Grunt to fight the Human Reaper.

[@DesertStateInEU]

I'm glad it worked out for this guy in the video, but for me this looks different. 1st Round - Legion is the tech specialist, Miranda is the 2nd fire team leader. My own team is Garrus and Zaeed. 2nd Round - Samara is the biotic field specialist, Miranda is the diversion team leader, Jacob escorts the survivors. My own team is Garrus and Zaeed. 3rd Round - Garrus and Mordin come with me to fight.

[@mileselon1339]

@@DesertStateInEU it all comes down a very distinct algorithm. You want everyone to live? FULLY UPGRADE THE NORMANDY! And make sure everyone is at max loyalty to you! If all units are at high affinity and your ship is fully upgraded. Right after you get Legion, DO HIS QUEST! And make sure to side with both Tali and Legion after his quest is finished. Then finally do what Moeflyer here did. Though I don't think round 3 matters. Aslong as everyone is at fully affinity and you left behind damn good units to hold the line it won't matter.

[@DesertStateInEU]

@@mileselon1339 For round 3 you need to leave behind at least 1 well trained fighter. You have 3, Garrus, Zaeed, and Grunt. I leave behind 2 just to be sure. If you don't leave behind anybody, I believe Mordin is the first to die, if hes not present then its the next person in line, but somebody will die.

[@KritoSkywaker]

My teams with my Paragon MaleShep the following was. Tech Specialist was Tali. Second Leader was Miranda. My team was Kasumi and Zaeed. Biotic Specialist was Jack. Second Leader was Garrus. Sent Mordin back with the Crew. My team was Samara and Thane. For the final push, I took Miranda and Jacob and I chose to destroy the Collector Base.

[@ReturnOfMonke]

My team was Legion for tech, Garrus for second team leader. Personal team was Zaeed and Thane. Samara for biotic. Garrus for lead again, Grunt was sent with the crew, and my team was the same.

[@TrickyTalon23]

Yoooo I picked the exact same squadmates for those roles! Tali, Jacob, Jack, Garrus, Mordin, and I brought Miranda to the final mission! Sweet!

[@zexalpower3895]

Helpful fact for when get to the part when you need to shoot the injection tubes for the Human-Proto Repear: Make sure you’re equipped with the grenade launcher, and shoot at each one as fast as you can. You can get the opportunity hit 2 of them before they close up, 3 if you’re lucky & fast enough.

[@FujoshiRaper]

I'll just use trainer to fuck them .idk why but i dont like ME2 fights ,i prefer 1 . Im here for story . Im tired .

[@bluesrike]

Which grenade launcher? The M-77?

[@zexalpower3895]

@@bluesrike The M-100.

[@albertoj.mollinedo4116]

I think they fixed that where you can only shoot one at a time. If you’re fast enough you could knock out 3 in a row and then a final one. Some insane speed runners were able to get them all 4 in one go. Definitely not like it was intended.

[@graemewyllie2023]

Collector laser with adrenaline rush. Can take out all 4 if you get lucky

[@PiecykM]

Ending of ME2 is best ending ever. Even Witcher 3 creators take some ideas of Suicide Mission and put it into battle of kaer morhen, but they know it's not enough to end a game. Good old Bioware, please come back...

[@baz1388]

This ending still gives me chills

[@cadendicky1855]

A hard ending to get, not for being hard in of itself when it comes to combat (unless you're on insanity difficulty), but because of how much grinding and preparation you need for it. At least that's my take away from it.

[@nobodycares3333]

Are you sure you are talking about mass effect insanity ??? That game is only meant to be play on insanity & They have already given so much clues on how to save your crew

[@albertoj.mollinedo4116]

Even in insanity I found the suicide mission too easy combat wise. Too few enemies. The final mission should be a final exam of everything you learn in the game. On a difficulty scale from 1 to 10, the final mission/final boss should be a 11 or 12. That’s what gives you a great sense of accomplishment.

[@cadendicky1855]

@@albertoj.mollinedo4116 man, I miss being able to turn it up to 11.

I got this ending in my first try and extremely happy about it Round 1: Legion as tech specialist Garrus as the fire team leader Round 2 : Samara as biotic specialist Garrus as the fire team leader Then we gotta chose a two more people to take with Shepard and like rest will defend the door I choose samara and mordin with me and the rest were gating the Door Pls note I loveeee Miranda but couldn’t take her on any mission in the end cause she was not loyal after I choose Jake over her in the argument and didn’t have enough points to make her loyal again

we need a proper theme park on this but not just a ride a full on theme park

[@conorcahill5422]

20:15 was where I stopped playing this game when I got to this point. And it was about 6-7 months ago. I was hit in the face with a HORRIBLE twist when I had worked so hard to get everybody loyal and alive, only for Dr. Chakwas to tell me EVERYONE on the crew had been killed and harvested, and she blamed me for it. It was too much, and I quit. I'm prepared to try again after many months away, thinking I would never play this again, and therefore never complete my Mass Effect experience. I just wish I had an inkling how I can avoid this heinous gut-punch.

I did everything you did and at the end cut scene my miranda died...... WHY????? can some one please explain. .. :-(

[@CrowYaeger]

Could be a couple of things, realistically. Off the top of my head Miranda wasn't loyal Your score at the end wasn't high enough for everyone to survive. The way this works in ME2, everyone has a score for the Hold the Line part. Garrus, Grunt and Zaeed have a score of 4, Thane, Legion, Jacob, Samara/Morinth have a score of 2 and Jack, Kasumi, Tali and Mordin have a score of 1. Your score at the end needs to be a 2 or higher in order for everyone to survive, anything lower and at least one person dies. By choosing Grunt, you essentially gimp yourself because he's worth 4 points.

[@ninja4187]

@@CrowYaeger thank you for taking the time to explain that to me. It helped alot. Much love and good day.

[@KritoSkywaker]

My headcannon was that you did not resolved the conflict between Jack and Miranda, am I right? Just for future context, before you launch the Suicide Mission, you can talk to Miranda or Jack, depending on which side you took, to regain one of their loyalties back. According to the OG Mass Effect 2, you need high amount of Paragon/Renegade points to do that. Namely, 4 Full Bars of either of them.

[@fluorideinthechat7606]

Pro tip: Gain her loyalty, then DO NOT select her for anything but Tech Specialist. Then either send her or Mordin back to escort Chakwas and crew. If you didn’t send her back, then keep Garrus, Grunt, and Zaeed behind to hold the line (since she’s high on the death list, but those three being behind has them each cover a weaker party member) or take her with you to the final boss. Otherwise Tali bites the dust.

It Just Depends On Who You Talk To The Most In A Personal Way. I Did My First Time Too. Liara My 2nd Time And Tali My 3rd Time But You Can't Romance Her Until The 2nd Game. Other Woman Like Miranda, Jack, Kelly, And Samantha Was My Attempts After. Just Be Careful How You Respond Back. I Think It Locks The Romance Pact When She Asks If You Wanna Drink To The Grandfather's Surrender. With Liara It Comes After Her Mom's Death.

[@addanametocontinue]

Illusive Man was right, salvaging the Collector base would have been ideal. The war with the Reapers wasn't over and there was technology there they could acquire. At this point in the game, the Alliance did not have anything close to what they needed to defeat the Reapers. It's no different than picking up a rifle an enemy dropped and using the tech to make your own weapons better; it's just the pragmatic thing to do.

[@hitthetarget982]

Maybe giving him access to more reaper tech isn’t the best idea. Look how it ended up in mass effect 3.

[@ElStink4K]

@@hitthetarget982 His indoctrination intensified. He had good intentions without the manipulation.

[@GOODYGOODGOOD789]

Giving a madman more power is a horrible idea. Especially since if the Illusive Man had what he wanted the galaxy would be in an even worse position than if the Reapers won. If the Illusive Man had all the power in the world sure, he would be the cure to the Reapers problem, but a cure that just makes this worse than the disease ever could is never a good cure (or a cure period).

[@wilder11]

LAAAAME. XD I mean I love the ending too, but...literally everyone but the colonists surviving a SUICIDE MISSION? I don't care HOW loyal your squad is, this kinda makes the Collectors out to be Grade-A pussies. For reference, there were more casualties on VIRMIRE, and while that was essentially dubbed a suicide mission, the team had no idea of how bad it was going in. Even if you save Wrex, one of your human squad dies, and Salarians die even if you help them during the assault. I always hated the loyalty mechanic. I'm not necessarily in favor of RANDOM deaths, though that would be more realistic, but SOME mechanic that was more realistic. Maybe if you learned it, you could effectively decide WHO dies, rather than IF anybody dies at all. Honestly I try to get Jacob killed every time I run the Suicide Mission. Because he not only sucks in ME2, but he's even lamer in ME3, so what's the loss? My mission seems more realistic and I'm not burdened with his lame ass any more in the narrative. XD All that being said...the ending cinematic never gets old. The soundtrack is incredible.

Doesn’t Captain Kirrahe survive Virmire (if you provide support by destroying enemy drone refueling stations, comm stations, etc)?

[@Hermaeus62]

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

Still to this day makes me mad how they messed up after ME2 with woke writer. ME2 was perfect. ME3 were killing good characters, wrote them poorly (Jacob being family person even when femShep did choose him as romance aka he dumps femShep) and gave Thane sickness. And Miranda romance is poorly done where Liara gets the cake screen. Every character personality is done excellent in 1 and 2. In 3 they added more but killed good characters and showcased so little the others (Zaeed and Kasumi).

[@samuelw4380]

I mean, there were logical reasons why they wrote them "poorly", because whole ME2 squad can die in last mission and Kaiday/Ash in ME1. Bioware didn't have enough development time to equally give screen time to everyone, so in the end Liara got most of it, because she's the only one who cannot die
