Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 06. 2024
- The day has finally come! Mass Effect Legendary Edition is in hand and I have played ~15 hours of the game! This combines my time with Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 on Xbox Series X as well as comparing/contrasting the originals and diving into the PC version on top of it all. The question is, does this game deliver on what we wanted? I aim to answer that in my honest impressions!

Me: "I am gonna be evil this time."
*3 hours in*
Me: "okay I gotta make sure to make everyone happy and save everyone."
That's something that I think they should change in the future ME game. You always feel like you get burned for picking Renegade options. Jack died in my first playthrough cause I picked a renegade option on the loyalty quest and you can't do any romances if you are renegade. Even Jack's romance is paragon based.
@@Braydzz I mean, I could see making some adjustments but that's kind how it would go. Renegade suggests you are doing things that are contradictory to expectations and that will usually cause situations to go awry more often than not. Sometimes that sort of against-the-grain approach is better in the long run, but will cause chaos in the short term, and chaos often breeds suffering.
Same 🤣 I can never bring myself to go full renegade
@@Braydzz that's not why she died you still gain her loyalty even if you pick the renegade option
Be careful if you get to reckless it wil l make life hard later. At the end of ME1 I chose to wipe out the commission and it bit me allot later on but still fun.
I'm so ready to play these for the first time
What were you doing in 2007, 2010, and 2013?
EXPLAIN YOURSELF!
Waiting to see how OP you make it, Kev. 😎
ps...you're gonna love it.
Can we change bodies for an agreed sum?
Dude you are so fucking lucky but seriously though you'll have all the DLCs too. Take your time, get to know the characters. But please, I repeat, TAKE YOUR TIME
Lucky!
Soon my Shepard will be giving Tali another legendary cheek clapping.
Tali was my romance too honestly one of the better portrayals of what it might be like lol
@@ughitstravis9243 I’ve played through so many times that I’ve lost count and somehow I always end up with her.
🤣🤣
I like Tali but Femshep is just so much better then MaleShep
@@linkfan6555 That may be, however I’m so used to Mark’s voice that the few times I’ve tried a femshep play through I couldn’t get far at all.
To any new players playing this trilogy for the first time, a big pro tip to keep in mind that will help you along your journey is TALK. Talk to everyone you can as often as you can! Explore and exhaust all dialog options! This is a dialog driven game so speak up. Best of luck and enjoy. You only get to experience it for the first time once!
Yes! Talking is literally so important and I’m glad I had that advice going in the first time.
But be sure to hang up on the council!
You are so damn' right! :)
@@mrsgamer9218 I love the fun little continuity bits. Like if you hang up on the council every time they remember in the second game, and if you beat up that reporter every game she remembers in the third one and actually dodges your attack.
Be sure to punch the reporter always. Worth it.
Whose ready to make the same choices all over again
Me before I start playing: "I want to be a badass this time"
Me 8 hours later: "Oh no. I made the NPC sad"
Liara, here I come...
I've completed the trilogy like 10 times and I've never done it with a male Shepard, FemShep voice is so badass. I think that this is the perfect opportunity to try out a different perspective.
@@ngarros1603 sammeeeeee lol
Haha so true!
Can't wait to bro out with Garrus & Wrex again
Garrus and Wrex are truly the greatest bros in gaming.
Can't wait for tali to...get drunk with her.
Bro whoever shot wrex gets the axe 🪓 from me don't @me
Wrex was always my favorite. They present the krogan in the lore as dangerous, scary & unstable, but the ones you meet are always so cool. I couldn't help but to like them.
Shepard Shepard Shepard
Did I got a platinum trophy on all 3 Games? Yes.
Do I need to buy this edition? No.
Will I buy it still and spend another thousand hours on this trilogy? You're god damn right.
I am so with you 😁👍
You got me in first half, not gonna lie
Same
Did I finish the game? Yes
Did I get every single ending? Yes
DLC? All of them
Do I need this edition? Hell no?
Will I buy it? Hell yes!
Hell yeah
Aahh the elevator rides;
Garrus: Let's talk about your immune system.
Tali: I have a shotgun!
Glad you put "honest' in the title, otherwise I'd think you were lying
Lol
It could be worse he could have said "brutally honest" in his title.
Anybody remember his cyberpunk review?
he has no idea what he's writing or saying
Someone lie after seeing honest *Never*
Imagine how exciting this is for me. Ive never beat any of these. Its like 3 new games to me
You are so lucky. Wish I could go in and re experience it as if I hadn't beaten them each like 3 times lol
Avoid all spoilers and enjoy one of the best video game experiences of all time man.
You're going to experience Masterpieces of course! Enjoy!
I envy you!
I never played the first one. I played half of the 2nd one and really liked it, but new job at the time took me away from gaming for a while.
I’m super hyped to finally play all of them.
*The day Mass Effect Legendary Edition releases*
Modders: _"Ah shit, here we go again."_
"Nobody beat any of the games in two days"
YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY DEGENERACY
sure you can but ME isn't a game to be rushed in my opinion.
@@AuntieBlockbuster I mean 48 hours is more than enough time for one game even if you want to do everything.
Reviewers never beat any game usually I mean look at acg and days gone he never beat the game yet reviewed it like he did
@@deathstalkerx4415 I'll take this to mean you haven't done everything in Witcher 3 then lol.
@@Vthd7604 did i miss something or whos talking about the witcher 3?😂
Man I literally remember when the idea of all the mass effect games being remastered was just speculation last year and Matty was (and still is) the go to source for Information 😭
Maybe he’s the Shadow Broker!!!
The community willed this remaster into existence lmao
Unfortunately based on different game plays it doesn't look improved enough especially the gameplay of ME1.
@@leonardodavinci7425 it actually did alot as far as remasters go. You're thinking of a remake, which would've been a complete overhaul.
@@kuma8093 facts, from the gameplay I’ve seen I’m sold on ME1 alone. That gameplay looks infinitely better then the 360 version
I would argue that the brighter light in the Mass Effect 3 intro gives one a greater sense of "Judgement Day"
Yeah I think that they made the right call.
Me too. I also prefer the changes to eden prime in the first game.
Here here!
I do prefer the changes the changes as well. I never loved the contrast. I'm curious to see what Omega looks like now in ME2 though. That's where I think the art design really worked well in the original version.
Personally I agree with you, I prefer all the visual changes in remastered, personally i hate film grain and its too dark, etc but I can see why some people would love it, it's one of those things they probabaly cant please everyone. so im happy with their choice but some people aint
Just reaching that Mass Effect 1 menu again pretty much brought a tear to my eye. I forgot how powerful "Vigil" is.
The music through out the Mass Effect games really is something next level in terms of what quality gaming music can do to you, so powerful and emotive.
The Virgil song is very iconic. I also really love the legendary edition menu song "Resynthesis". It combines a feeling of nostalgia, hope and foreboding that is quite unique.
I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to play this for the first time
same dude, nothing quite like the first time, you never get it back. Happy others get to have the kid in the candy shop feeling.
It Feels like I'm playing it for the first time again
The game is on sale and I've never played it, Was thinking of buying it as it's on sale
booted it up for the first time 2 weeks back, havent put it down since. top 5 rpgs ive ever played, all three of them
That's me,but I'm really not feeling it.only 15 hours in
My whole life I watched my big brother play the original series and talked about it with his friends and me but I never had the chance to play it, now it's getting a remaster for new players and I'm walking into unknown territory and I'm ready
I played the originals upon release... I was 20. I am insanely jealous of you!!! You're going to love it, slog through the first one for the story and enjoy 2 and 3 for the combat.
"I never had the chance to play it"
And why is that exactly?
You'll get a lot of people (like me) telling you how jealous they are that you get to experience it for the first time, so hopefully that will let you know that you're in for a treat if you enjoy story & character driven RPGs.
Godspeed commander ✊
@@yggdrasil1969 I'll let you know when I finished ME1, I promise
I remember reading about Mass Effect in a game informer magazine then completely forgot about it. I then stumbled across Mass Effect back in 2008. Just by chance it was on sale for like 6 bucks at a Blockbuster, bought it and completely fell in love with it. I've been addicted to RPGs ever since.
I loved Dragon Age but was hesitant about Mass Effect since I never play shooters and struggled massively with the combat ('til I discovered hang-in-the-back, scaredy-cat Infiltrator with sniper rifle, LOL). So glad I made myself try it again and love it almost as much as DA!
A friend gave me his copy of ME2 back in high school since he didn't like it. That game didn't leave my 360 for about a month.
Haha damn bro this is exactly how I came across mass effect too , right down to the T .
@@janzaldua17 So the real question, wtf was wrong with your friend
@@mithcee lol he was just more of a Call of Duty/Gears of War guy from what I remember.
i’m 26 and i’m finally able to experience the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time.
Same well I played the 3rd one and loved it soo its gunna be 👌
@DCgameGuy85 1 heard the first game is abit clunky but still amazing I can't play it yet till I finish work 😅
Enjoy!
Welcome, Commander!
I'm 28 and played it in 2007 😂
Thank you Matty for doing this! I have looked forward to each one of these videos and I have loved speculating it’s existence, then finally realising the joy of this actually happening to now to finally being able to play it again with all of you guys!
it’s been a great ride!
Some would call it the best!
Matty Yesterday: I didn’t get a review code 🥺👉🏼👈🏼
Matty Today: I played 15 hours of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, let’s get into it.
I had a feeling when he said "I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say" that something was up.
HONEST!
He played 15hours of each game
Nah when that was recorded, it was on Monday hahahah I legitimately didn’t have a code at the time of recording that.
The legendary level scaling is great to hear as well, I remember starting a recent playthrough of ME1 with new game plus at level 55 and did all the content and still didn’t reach level 60 by the time it was over lmao
Yeah it seems like it was the right call to make
This man is on FIRE with these videos. Perfect time stamps. Going through the effort to compare different versions. Beautifully editing video. Fresh take. Wow. Keep it up man. Proud.
Omg I can only imagine how excited you were to make this video. We have been talking about this game for so long it feels almost impossible to believe that it is finally here 😭
Only a few hours remain till we can all get our hands on this magnificent game series again and I feel more excited and yearning to play than ever before lol 😂❤
Time replay this masterpiece, and make all the same choices!
I haven't played any me game before xD can you imagine my hype man, lets goo. My preload is done just starting at the countdown 🤩
@@xiRePeNTx I envy you getting to experience this for the first time. Honestly, this trilogy, Skyrim, and Dragon Age, were incredibly helpful for me from 2012-2015. I was battling with PTSD and these games felt like home :)
Same bud. I keep telling myself I'll be going renegade this time. I know that's not going to happen lol.
@@jimdavies9354 Yeah I always go male Shep and romance Liara. What I love about Paragon is it makes Shep more humble and creates a more familial vibe to the entire Normandy crew.
@@xiRePeNTx I envy you. I also envy those that haven't play skyrim or fallout new vegas. Those experiences are unique
I took the day off work tomorrow to go get my copy. I would take all next week off if I could. I started playing Mass Effect in 2008 when I rented it from Hollywood Video and it has been my all time favorite series ever since. To say I'm excited for tomorrow would be a monumental understatement.
Same here! I lost all my original saves in the cloud! It’s gonna feel like a new experience for me! I’m all for it!
Hollywood Video - deep cuts, my dude. Same here, though a friend rented it when we were hanging out and driving around town. Rented it almost as an afterthought, and we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning playing. (And now I feel like an old man)
You are awesome.
I bought the game when it was released, so hyped when it came out then SUPER HYPED that they're finally remastered 😂 especially since I have to constantly hook up my 360 to play the game. Can't wait for Friday!
I rented me3 on ps at Redbox when it came out and literally kept it 😂 then went and bought me2 and when I realized me1 wasn’t on ps I bought a fucking x box to play it then sold it. When the trilogy finally came out on ps I bought it and played it twice more in order that time and now I have legendary downloaded and ready to go tonight 💀💀💀
I’m a massive fan of this series. The main thing I am excited about is that almost all dlc and extra missions and stuff is bundled in. I never played a few of the dlc because I just never bought them. And the fact they are all
Together makes me happppy!
Your videos have been the only thing making the wait more bearable
I preloaded yesterday. Took an hour. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to play. 😥
Next should be a Dragon Age remaster.
That would be AWESOME! If this does well, maybe they'll consider it.
Noooo i want remakes or new titles 😪
Specifically dragon age origins I love that game and it deserves a remaster as long as they don't mess up Zev like they did in dragon age 2
Dragon Age 4 will come first, and it will depend on that, if it's awesome they may work on a sequel to it. If it gets a mixed reception like Andromeda did, they very well could go to a dragon age Origins remaster
Mass Effect games are UE3 and as such a lot easier to remaster. Origins and DA2 engine is probably not worth the hassle.
Thank you for keeping the hype alive for the whole year!!! Love the channel and your content!!!😭😭🙌🏿🙏🏿💯
Played part of 2 when I was like 7 so this is going to be an entirely new experience for me. Thanks for all the videos on it Matty you got me hyped af XD
Great preview, included everything you need to know, thank you!
Yes!!!! I can't wait! One more day
That background music is haunting I can't wait to play renegade this time
as a youngling it’s my first play through, remember watching my older cousins play it, cannot fricken wait
Found you through Collin and I've listened to every episode of Defining Duke podcast, but this is my first time watching one of your videos and I love how much thought you put into it, I will be a fan of all your videos in the future 😀
Never clicked on a vid faster 😊
Really looking forward to this on my series X. It has been a long time since I played them so it's going to feel fresh.
Me too I can’t wait!
Same, series x also. I haven’t played this series since ME3 came out so it will feel almost new as I don’t remember much.
How did u manage to get a series x? Im stuck with the s. No 4k for me
@@billballinger5622 All Access. Once I decided to go all access I found one within a week.
@@KeytarArgonian huh ok so All Access users have priority over non Access users? Does it notify you when stock will be available?
love ur videos matty, glad ive been able to watch ur channel blow up and u get these opuurtunities
Thank you, you have me excited. I played all of these games so many times 1 and 2 especially. I cannot wait to get home from work tomorrow 😁
Damn, my passion for Mirada Lawson is coming back..
😂
Well don't, you saxist, Bioware doesn't like it
@@Sigilstone17 too true. Bioware will shame anyone for expressing attraction to an attractive character!
First time jumping into mass effect I’m excited
Enjoy man! You’re in for one hell of a ride ;)
@@TheMelancholicWriter thank you
Your going to have a blast, enjoy! 😎👍
Lucky! Power through ME1 if you feel it's getting a little stale. ME2 is one of the best games I've ever played. My first time with ME1 I stopped about halfway through. When ME2 was coming out, I replayed it from the beginning and started ME2 immediately. It was such a great experience.
I'm excited for you. Come back after you're done and let us know what you think. :)
Man what a journey this has been thank you for all your coverage and all your efforts
NOW LET'S SAVE THE GALAXY
MAN i cant believe it im SO excited, ive been watching and waiting for this since your 1st rumor video of a ME remaster! I've never played ME at all never had the chance and was bummed about it...UNTIL NOW! Now i can experience it better than ever! SO HAPPY!
I love how they fixed Eden Prime. I was always bothered by the overabundance of red, like I’m on Mars, or other red planet, and not on a planet which deserve the name “Eden”.
Now it looks much more like a place which is an actual paradise, but temporarily covered by dust and smoke.
Exactly! That effect always bothered me. It honestly never made sense.
Glad to see others who agree most people are pretty negative to the change but I agree with your points
@@wesleycolvin7158 It makes plenty of sense. Honestly. It's symbolism. It's a style. Just not yours.
@@Vthd7604 Why is my opinion the one that got your attention? I was agreeing with the opening comment.
@@wesleycolvin7158 Then say it doesn't make sense to you. Not a blanket statement. It makes perfect sense to me. But I see your point. Sorry
I can’t wait to get off work today and play this, I have an early shift and I’m totally prepared to pull an all nighter playing until I have to go to work again tomorrow
Don’t do that trust me done it before totally not worth it.
Same.
Take your time man, I took the weekend off to play through 1st game. Prob won’t get to 2nd game till next week.
@@starscream6629 I know the first game like the back of my paw
@@NewWasabii back of your paw? Lol
It's been really fun to relive the series again like this, worth the wait 100%
About to start a first playthrough, really excited! Thanks as always for the great videos, Matty.
That “rugged” look you talk about in the beginning of the 360/PS3 version of ME3 was why I loved Fallout 3 so much and worry a little about a remaster of that game. Those rough textures help sometimes add to the vibe even if they’re technically inferior.
Can't wait to play again, the series gave me so many feels
Thanks Matty, I really like the fact your honest about your time with the copy and ups and downs. I also appreciate that you are a fan of the series. I am excited to play Mass Effect again, but I know my nostalgia glasses probably make it impossible to be unbias booting it back up.
Thanks for the impressions Matty! This definitely seems in line with my expectations.
This will be my first playthrough of the series. I'm excited!
All I can say is lucky!
You will have a blast, enjoy!
ME1 is amazing, I know you’ll enjoy it and ME2.
*UPDATE:* Abso-fucking-lutely amazing. I'm so glad I didn't sleep on this series again
Definitely with you on the og Shepards design.
I'm replaying Andromada atm I'm thinking this was a bad idea because regardless of what people think of the game it looks absolutely fantastic.
This is exactly what I needed to here after being so cautious with the pre order. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
Hell yea keep it up bro I love your vids I've installed it just got to wait until midnight
Schedule is clear, phone is automated to go on silent. I do not exist in the real world this Friday and weekend
The getting stuck in the wall on Noveria is a bug I had in the original version! I remember how frustrating it was and how it killed the moment!
Probably the result of untested technology those sneaky corporate types are developing there.
Also that audio bug. Lol I’ve totally experienced that on the 360 versions
Love this this man that’s why I subscribe I like how you go into detail
looking forward to seeing more of your thoughts and playthroughs of this game Matty :)
ME1 was always my favorite of the trilogy, and knowing that there have been improvements to most of the least desired features really excites me. And I can give Shep a legit taper fade????....Legendary
ME1 is my favourite as well, my third favourite game I’ve played.
Same here the atmosphere of ME1 was just amazing I loved the armors and all in all I just loved it
Conversations with Sovereign and Vigil are two of my favourite gaming moments. Two from one game is impressive.
Why so many fans love ME2 over ME1 is beyond me
ME1 is probably my favourite too but I don't know how I feel about dialing down the RPG stuff
My man! This is why I’ve been here for the last 6 years. The most thorough breakdown of Mass Effect anywhere.
Thanks Matty! Can’t wait to dive in!
Bravo! As someone who has watched multiple reviews and has been playing through the games personally, you nailed this review.
You got me with that opening song. Ahh the tears. Cant wait until tonight!!!
The first one are the most inportant one. That they did it good I mean.
I agree. It was definitely the most dated.
Mass Effect 1 is still the best Mass Effect game and it's not even close.
@@comicsans1689 ME2 >
@@TreTalksMusic ME2 is the popular choice, and sure, the game mechanics are more streamlined, it feels better to play, but when it comes to the story, ME1 did all the groundwork. The level of worldbuilding in that game simply puts it into a league of its own. 2 and 3 feel more like a shooter game first, and an RPG second, while ME1 is an RPG game at heart. For those who look for a compelling story and an immersive world, this isn't even a question.
@@TreTalksMusic 2 is honestly the worst in the trilogy, as unpopular of an opinion as it is. It was a jack of all trades, but master of none. There's nothing that Mass Effect 2 did that wasn't done better in 1 or 3. 2 took a dump on the lore and the story, mainly with how it handled Shepard and Protheans.
Ahhhhh the music 😍 I can’t wait to play this.
I would have liked more populated planets too
Me too
Me three
Wow. Matty I would just like to say I’m beyond proud of you which may not mean a lot from a random guy on CZcams but I’ve been watching you since 7th grade and I am now a sophomore in college. And my man. The growth in your quality of content has just amazed me and I would just like to congratulate you on the hard work and dedication you put into your videos. Keep up the great work much love
So excited to get my copy later today, can’t wait to rediscover this series.
Always wanted to play these games but never did. Now I’m hyped and ready to play this remastered.
The second one is a masterpiece!
I just started. And after a few hours. This is a worthy buy. Some old feeling gameplay, sure. But a remarkable universe, and BioWare knew how to tell a story back then. It is like playing a very good movie in a good way.
Lighting looks fine to me in ME3, if they've improved the engine that drives how lighting works in the game, then it's bound to look more bright in certain areas. It doesn't seem to ruin any atmosphere from my own perspective.
I agree.
Some of the lighting looked ATROCIOUS in the original ME1 and ME2.
Like remember Hackett in the Arrival dlc of ME2? jfc its like they put a flashlight under his chin when telling scary stories.
Hi Matty great video, so now we are truly going to the cloud district and beyond, I been playing trilogy on series X and loving it and now just waiting for legendary edition to unlock on series X. Great video and thank you 😊 ❤️
Excited. Cant wait for this. Got it downloaded already.
Paragon Matty: What's 900 bucks these days anyway?
Renegade Matty: *Shoots it*
I played ME 2 and 3 but not 1. I know I know lol so I'm glad I can play all 3 back to back now. I think I'll appreciate this story and universe so much more because of it.
First timer to this channel. Just had to say this was a great review about my all-time favorite game. Very nicely done :D
I AM SO HYPED! My only concern was performance so if it runs well, I’m all on board. LETS GO!
I think a lot of those bugs you were talking about may get fixed in the giant day one patch. Fingers crossed🤞
I'm with you, man 🤞🤞
I did get stuck facing one direction and couldn't move sideways, while playing the rogue VI mission on the moon in ME1. But that been the only really bad bug so far. Even that eventually fixed itself.
Day one patch hopefully will fix the audio and glitches in that patch.
I missed this game the first time around. Never played it before but i've been told (over and over again) by my friends that it is an experience like no other. Looking forward to getting this in the mail tomorrow.
I really hope they released this to give us a character save for ME4 😉
ME5 you mean. Also why would they do that if Shep dies in 4 of the 5 endings.
It’s so cool to see that ME1s graphics are now as good maybe even better than the rest of the trilogy!
Yeah I’d say that there on par with 2 & 3
Great in depth review, the best yet.
Your early news on the legendary edition in like March was what attracted me to your channel. Hats of to you sir.
I cant freaking wait for 12am!!!!!🤩
I don’t think,You go for it man reach for the stars
What is happening at 12 am?
@@paulallen2680 it's when the game releases and is playable in my region
Platform?people on xbox can play right now if they switch to New Zealand
I'm hoping Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening and Dragon Age 2 get this treatment. Would love a Legendary collection for those too.
I'm glad you noticed the change in atmosphere due to the lighting changes and reduction of film grain and contrast. For me I can't help but notice it, and couldn't help but notice it even from the first screenshots. I hope they add some sliders in the options menu or something to allow us to better replicate the old atmosphere.
You can add film grain under the Graphics option.
@@perforongo9078 You can? Guess they must've added that in the update, will have a look, thanks!
Edit: Having checked, I realise that you simply mean that you can toggle it on or off, what I meant is the ability to increase or decrease it's intensity, along with the other settings noted.
Loving my play through so far!
I was waiting too hear impressions on this game, had a bad experience pre ordering mass effect in the past lol
Brooo me too 😂 mass effect andromeda was the only game I pre ordered the year it came out and I got burned 😭
@@austinidkneededtomakeanewa6303 same! I took off work for a week to play it.... given I only played 2 days and lost interest
Nice to know I'm not the only one who just uses the default models for Shepard, lol.
Statistics show that most players play default Shepard lol
Great first look! I was getting worried with it being the day before and reviews still weren't out. With the hype, I assumed embargoes would have been lifted a few days before. I think I'll go ahead and confidently preorder and play on my PS4 Pro.
Thanks, Matty! I played these games on Xbox One X for the first time last year - and Mass Effect 1 is easily my favorite thanks to its world building and RPG mechanics. Thanks for previewing ME1, and I'm looking forward to picking this up. Cheers!
Can't wait to see my favorite Quarian in 4k. 👍
Admiral Xen? :-)
Not gonna lie hearingn the Mass effect title music had me tearing up a bit in your intro...
Also can we get some appreciation for the Epic Codex voice guy?
Yes! Kinda wish they kept him for the second two games. It really added to the introduction of the game world & lore for me.
It's been a least 4 years since I last played through the Mass Effect Trilogy. I'm really looking forward to reliving those epic moments again.
It’s only been about 10 months for me
Very good vid, looking forward to playing ME1.
I wonder if they fix the ladder in Leviathan DLC, that ladder you need 20 min to 3 hours trying to get down.
Oh boy. That one was really tedious.
I don’t remember such a ladder. Maybe I got lucky.
@@xenon8117 It's a very specific one, most of the players do not go there, if I am right it's because like an achievement or hidden mission you need to get there, but sure if you search on youtube for "mass effect 3 leviathan ladder bug fix" or something like this you will find, it's a video for 8 years ago if they do not fix it, will be a huge shame. Before this video, I think I try to pass for 3 hours without success.
@@Ninjutsu2K So many runs and I didn't know this. Shame on me.
When youtubers put “honest” on their review video. Glad to know you’re not lying! 😐
He’s a huge fan, and he wants the audience to know he’s trying to take an unbiased approach to his review
This is much needed. I haven’t played Mass Effect in so long and it’s such a treat for PlayStation gamers because a lot of them missed out on it because the PS4 had no backwards compatibility. We also had wait to longer to play ME1 and ME2 on PlayStation as well.
Great video by the way
I know I'm in the minority, but the damn Mako was the only reason I couldn't play ME 1 more than once. I am so happy to hear about the changes to it. Thanks for your impressions! I am really excited to get into the ME universe again!
I'm with you. I'm a completionist who really doesn't like to skip content, even on replays. The clunky Mako controls just made those planets such a chore.
There are people that didn’t like the Mako?
That useless hunk of scrap is a damned gem. Sure it can’t drive worth a damn and the aiming is piss-poor but it has a heart. And if you ever want to go over a mountain instead of the fairly easy path around it then the mako will do it. Perseverance!
Ah the nostalgia!
Actually, I think your in the majority lol. I'm in the minority. Aside from it's shields, I never had a problem with the Mako. Course I've been gaming for over 40 yrs, so maybe that has something to do with it. Just don't get me started on that tissue box of a Hammerhead! lol
@@Vthd7604 haha, so I've been gaming since the first family Atari and I'm with you on the old gamer thing. I just wasn't a fan of launching into space because I hit a rock. Seemed like it was akin to a 2 year old in a bouncy house. 😂
@@julilla1 haha I was always doing that to see if I could get a reaction from the crew. No luck lol. But I am going to give the new controls a try. Supposed to have better shields this time round. Let's hope they did it to the Hammerhead as well.
