I love the mass effect games and ME1 is one of the better ones in my opinion. All of them are great, but as you will find out soon enough, there are some major problems that occur. My advice for tackling ME:2 and 3? Take it with a grain of salt, and enjoy the experience without thinking too much about the plot holes that occur. The characters are great, the story is fine, and the experience in and of itself is amazing. Enjoy the journey of the games, its truly the best part of it.

Personally i would say Mass Effect 2 is the weakest in the trilogy gameplay wise. Mass Effect 2 was just point and shoot. The weapons couldnt be substantually upgraded if at all and the powers and character upgrades are really stripped down. Mass Effect 1 has huge amounts of weapons and upgrades. The weapons can be upgraded, grenades can be upgraded, armour can be upgraded... Mass Effect 1 especially on harder difficulties was very strategic involving the correct usage and timings of powers. Unlike Mass Effect 2 or 3 you have to really plan on attacking rather than sit behind cover and heal to the max with regen shields and health. Even Mass Effect 3 had deeper gameplay, they allowed weapon upgrades, brang back the Mass Effect 1 upgrade point system back to its glory and improved it with upgrade branches... The problem with Mass Effect 1 is it was early Xbox 360, its rough around the edges and is clunky...

Gameplay wise yes, it hasn't aged at all. Yet ME2 isn't far ahead of it either. The gunplay was probably best refined in ME3 for me, and had Andromeda actually allowed me to access crew skills it'd be another step above that. That said, storywise it probably has the least plot hole ridden main story of the games where as the real meat of ME2's glory comes from the loyalty missions rather than the main story itself. Benefit of having Drew Karphysyn as your lead creative director, and his departure showed really clearly when it came to ME3. Which again had moments of greatness, but fell short due to the fact that the man who plotted the entire series was moved onto other projects and his 'baby' as it were given into the hands of someone who didn't understand the overall tone the original author had set out to write. (The story leak also didn't help, but it was Bioware who flipped and decided to write a new ending so that's on them.)

The original Mass Effect was a phenomenal game when it came out in 2007 and it still is even today. Since then franchise has been held in high regard and for good reason. The planets that you visited were worth exploring. The people and aliens that you encountered were worth caring about. The narrative was interesting and compelling. The voice acting and dialog system were really good. The combat was good but not perfect. Mass Effect 2 improved just about every aspect from the original title. The game's visuals were improved. The combat was way more satisfying. New and interesting characters were introduced. Mass Effect 3 was also a great entry in the series, despite criticism regarding its ending. It was also the most challenging entry in the series thanks to improved A.I. and the introduction of new enemies (Banshee, Brute and Geth Prime, to name a few). So much was at stake to close out the trilogy. Suffice to say, the Mass Effect franchise has been legendary thanks to Bioware's ability to craft amazing RPG's, including Dragon Age, Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and of course Mass Effect. Mass Effect Andromeda came out a few days ago and the game is a big disappointment, which I'm sad to say. The characters aren't interesting like they were in prior titles (Commander Shepard, Garrus, Grunt, Miranda, Mordin, Jacob, Tali'Zorah, Samara, Thane to mention some names). The story just isn't as compelling as the ones found in prior titles. The dialog, voice acting, character animation and movement aren't natural. The areas that you visit look good but the game's visuals as a whole aren't exactly impressive. Combat is actually fun and the game is lengthy but the experience gets dragged down due to the aforementioned issues. Also worth mentioning is the myriad of bugs and glitches that the game has. I remember reading a Yahoo article a while back stating that key members left Bioware which I'm sure is the reason why Andromeda ended up being such a lackluster release. In fact, the Bioware who created Mass Effect Andromeda isn't the same developer who created the prior entries in the series and it clearly shows in the final product.

Eiad Tarabulsi I have to respectfully disagree. The original trilogy was just as bug riddled and badly animated as MEA. MEA is planning out a different story to what the original trilogy had. Lets not forget the original trilogy was, well a trilogy of games, So far we only have one Andromeda game so it simply cant grip you yet as much as three whole games worth of back story, set pieces and character interactions can give you. I remember playing ME1 and i though it was "okay" but not great, but now that ME2 and 3 have rounded out the story I now look back on ME1 as a masterpiece, setting up one of the best sci fi stories in video games. And Im getting much the same feeling with MEA. Im really enjoying the story and if they make Andromeda into a trilogy (Not sure if they will after this) then im absolutely certain that i will adore and live the characters and story just as much as i loved the original trilogy.

So the big question is "how many playthroughs does it take to beat the game?" and I can't even think of it on the top of my head. Dragon Age: Origins has... -3 races -2 genders/sexes (duh) -3 classes -4 specializations per class -6 origins Technically, you would need a bare minimum of 7 playthroughs. Two playthroughs for each of the three classes in order to try each specialization, which inconveniently forces you to choose same origin, Circle Mage, twice. This is not including the Awakenings DLC and bonus content, and you're missing out on synergizing various specializations and classes together for several optimal builds which completely change your playstyle. If you want to go deeper, there are 12 possible origin/race combinations and double that if you want a playthrough for both genders.

Great video, you guys are killing it as usual. One little thing I would like to suggest though: I understand the Completionist rating goes from "Donate it" being the lowest, to "Complete it" being the highest. But ever since the change to the new presentation for the show, the correlation between the final ratings is no longer clear as the "rating meter" is gone. For those of us who have been following the show for years it's not a problem, but I fear that newcomers might not understand the value of each rating - given the lack of a visual representation that makes it clear that "Complete it" is not just better than "Finish it", but also the best rating. I think it would be a shame because I personally find the Completionist rating system as the best one out there.
@sporemaster9108

Hey Jirard, if you want more completionist bonuses, some of the trophy bonuses and choices you've made (in both base game and DLC) transfer over to the sequels to give you a nice starting boost and help you settle back into the swing of things, it will primarily be experience, a portion of your paragon/renegade scores, money, relationships with other characters and how you've completed some of the missions. [SPOILERS BELOW] For example, if you spared the Rachni Queen during the conclusion to Noveria's plot, she will send a message of thanks in ME2 saying that the repopulation of the Rachni is going well, and provide both a cameo and bonuses to the war effort with the naturally prolific engineers that are the Rachni in ME3.

PS. Sounds like you'll enjoy Mass Effect 2. It was less enjoyable for me because it's more of an action game and less an RPG (anyone can hack not just engineers) and i loved the MAKO exploration and that's gone. So sounds perfect for you. The reason i prefer 1st ME is the story and dialogue choices are way better and more nuanced. They lose a lit of that as the games go on until the dialigue choices feel like a tacked on feature in ME3.

The Nomad can't make it up gentle inclines without turning on six-wheel-drive and slowly grinding up a hill, it's like driving my grandmothers old car up Mount Everest, only for the Nomad light slopes equal Everest. I'll take the Mako and launching myself around with its hilarious physics any day of the week compared to the ponderous, unfun Nomad.

Eridang Slampora - Oh man, with more time in the game since my last comment I miss the cannon and the weight of the Mako the most. While my previous comment stands I have "gotten used" to slamming it into sixth gear and maintaining as much momentum as I can so it's not as huge an issue as it was when I started (still not fun though). But the fact that the Nomad has no oomph to it is really sad. You run something over and you don't even know if you damaged/killed it, there's like zero impact. And while the cannon was a bit overpowered at least you didn't have to get out for every little skirmish (or blast past them in my case).

Android 19 Mass Effect: Great story, riddled with bugs, bad animations and poor gameplay, Fairly open to exploration and open mission structure. People laud it as a masterpiece. Mass Effect 2: True Sci Fi drama with an excellent story. Riddled with bugs, bad animations, but the gameplay is great. Much more linear and not as open as ME1. Widely regarded as one of the best sci fi games ever made. MASS Effect 3: A much more emotionally charged story with satisfying or upsetting payoffs to the stories you have built up over the trilogy. Riddled with bugs, bad animations and a fair few badly implemanted "alternative" characters added in that practically shout that they are Gay/ Lesbian/Alien but sexy/Trans/SJW appeasing. Best gameplay in the series up to that point with amazing blockbuster set pieces but the game only had three endings so everyone hated ME3. Mass Effect Andromeda: Story is fantastic. Open ended exploration with easily the most exploration heavy gameplay. Gunplay is a series best with set pieces to rival most current gen games. Game is riddled with bugs and bad animations though so Everyone hates it. This here is the double standards and hypocrisy of gamers. How come every bioware game has bugs and bad animations, and they not only get a pass but get numous GOTY awards. And yet Andromeda offers big improvements over nearly every facet of the Mass Effect formula but because it has bugs (LIKE EVERY BIOWARE GAME HAS) its hated to the point of attacking the staff that worked on the game? I just dont understand why the gaming community is so damn toxic nowadays. Sorry for going on but i had to add my two cents.

Here's my take Mass Effect 1: Space Opera with RPG mechanics. completely new and ambitious IP, but a bit buggy and at times Mass Effect 2: Soap Opera with Cover based sbooting. very polished; builds on previous game, but the storyline feels like nothing more than filler between 1 and 2 Mass Effect 3: Sci-Fi-Action with Action-RPG mechanics. storyline concludes in a giant war. game is massive in it's size but lacks a bit of polish (story and gameplay wise) i think i like Mass Effect 1 the most, since it feels so fresh and intruiging.

Android 19 I think it's the opposite for ME1 and ME2. I love the gameplay for ME1 immensely, I'm basically unstoppable, even on hardcore. ME2, however, is more about staying behind cover and that's it. You can't heal yourself or your shields, you can't shoot people effectively, you can't upgrade your guns however you like (or your armor), the cover system doesn't fuck you over, your companions are actually extremely helpful and makes it very difficult to work without them, you can use the mako to dodge any rockets with extreme ease (I barely die in the mako, as I can be surrounded and dodge any projectiles with the thrusters and then run one of the enemies over to get out), and more. ME2's gameplay sucks but the story and dialogue are much much better.

What I didn't have a problem with: the planets (it makes sense that the small areas that you're allowed to explore - being mission-relevant - are usually abandoned/unsettled), the Mako (usually, but then I'm someone that likes to drive it up 80-degree inclines), and the combat (most enemies, at least for me, actually used cover; on the player side, it struck a nice balance between FPS and RPG). What I did have a problem with: the plot (the whole beginning of the game, post-Eden Prime, could have been avoided had Anderson followed proper investigative procedure), the need to take two support characters with me for 80% of the game just to get their trophy, and the misunderstanding of Ashley by the fandom (seriously, one comment taken WAY out of context turns her into the female version of Saren + the Illusive Man in the eyes of a lot of players).

I don't know if people just suck at driving it or they say that as a pure joke but it is really amazing (except when you get stuck between steep hills). However, in that case, it's due to the environment, not the Mako. I don't know any other tank that allows you to dodge rockets by making the tank jump, nor do I know any other tank that allows you to instantly do a 180 to take out hostiles behind you.
