Mass Effect 2 Insanity - Adept gameplay - Collector ship
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Insanity difficulty.
My fav class - Adept gameplay.
Fighting husks as adept is fun! Silly squadmates being scaredy-cats and making me fight the Praetorian alone though... until I died.
Also using texmod with:
optimized high resolution texture pack for squadmates
high resolution textures for kasumi
high resolution texture of femshep's default armor
high resolution Normandy uniforms
high resolution LotSB Liara
And a few graphical/engine tweaks for sharper shadows, slightly less dark shadows, etc.
Shepard: Haha you guys suck!
Collectors: Don't make him say it...
Shepard: Who? Say wha-
Harbinger: ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
I always bring miranda on this mission, it's so satisfying to hear her fangirlism over cerberus getting destroyed)
My favorite game out of the Mass Effect trilogy. This trilogy is one of the best gaming trilogies ever made and the best story choice based games👊🏿
Wait.
WAIT WAIT.
You actually picked Jacob for the hardest mission in the game?!
I don't know if you deserve respect of if you're simply mad. MAD MAD! MAD I SAY!
Hahahah
@@JediNg135
Is this hardest mission in this game coz I just finished this 10 minutes back.
Great action, but cleared easily also the story got revealed a lot more.
@@sharathvasudev "Insanity" difficulty? And your class is?..
Jacob is actually quite good if you're taking advantage of combos if you ask me. Barrier, Pull (to set up combos) and Squad Incindiary Ammo all on one guy? Actually awesome imo.
I find he pairs best with Sentinel but is also good with Adept and to a lesser extent Vanguard.
Hardest mission in the game ? Not even close.
It's not even the hardest main story mission ( the hardest one being Mordin's loyalty mission, the part where we need to face many Krogans in the building. Oh man, these Krogans are no joke ! ) .
One of the other hardest main story mission in the game has to be Freedom's Progress, because of that YMIR Mech.
We're still pretty low lvl when we get there, so the powers aren't that good. We haven't been able to pick the guns we want neither so we have crappy stuff, on Insanity, this YMIR can be a real pain ( I got lucky during my run, cuz a bug happened, it got stucked and couldn't shoot at me, so I took it down easily, but yeah, that was all luck ) .
Except for these 2, the rest of the main story missions are incredibly easy.
Some of the side quests are much much harder than the main story ones. In particular, the ones involving YMIR Mechs, especially when playing as an Adept ( since Shep don't have any power to take down their shields, they can quickly become...... problematic ) .
I've literally spent hours back then, to finish 2 of the side quests: the Eclipse Smuggling Depot, and the Blue Suns Base. Just mentioning them, even after all these years, still gives me shivers down my spine.
But the main quests ( including recrutement and loyalty missions, except for the 2 mentionned at the beginning of my comment ) are very easy when playing as an Adept, even on Insanity difficulty. As long as we stay in cover as much as possible, spamming powers, and only shoot the gun occasionally, none of the main story missions are hard. I'm pretty sure the only main story mission I've died to was the Mordin's Loyalty one ( and died many times there ) , but other than that, pretty sure I didn't die a single time on any other main story / recrutement / loyalty , missions.
The Adept class is probably the best class possible for an Insanity run, since many enemies of the main story missions only have Armor and Health bars. The Adept has Warp who is extremely helpful against them ( and so are Singularity and Throw ) . Few have a Barrier, but Warp is also helpful against them.
Jacob is actually one of the best choices for main story missions. As he has Pull ( useful when ennemies only have their Health bar left ) and Incendiary Ammo ( helpful against their Armor, and it can benefit the whole crew when on Rank 4 ) , even though I prefer Mordin ( to have Incinerate, also very helpful against Armor ) over Jacob. But he's still a good and smart choice nonetheless .
Miranda is a great choice in every situations. She has Warp for Armor and Barrier bar, Slam for Health bar, and Overload for Mech's Shield bar. She's very helpful in every situations, making her one of the best teammate possible in the game. But hey, she was designed to be perfect, so that makes sense. She wouldn't be perfect if there was situations where she would be useless.
Adept Shepard has to be one of the most powerful Biotic in the galaxy.
Except vs shields or armor
He's no Biotic God though
@@blackyvertigo warp and warp ammo or incendiary eats armor like ice cream sandwiches, as for shields- energy drain, or just let miri or garrus deal with them.
@@KIT2142LAW Energy drain is tech though and that ruins immersion, imagine a soldier using a biotic power all of a sudden.
@@Tacticaviator7 that's fair, but on the other hand-there are hybrid classes already and from immersion pov- what stops biotic from learing some tech skills?
It's not like tech skills and inborn, like biotics
How come nobody is talking about the reflections at 7:00?
It's always puzzled me.
Not sure why you brought Jacob on this mission. During that first big platform fight (the one that gives fits to so many) Shepard and Miranda did almost all of the heavy lifting while Jacob sat in cover. Best play I've found there is to take Kasumi, and take STASIS as your bonus power. Stasis takes out that first Scion instantly, and Kasumi's flashbang grenade renders Harbinger silent and powerless. After that the fight becomes far more manageable.
You did well for method and setup you chose though. The hard way, but very well done.
Ugh. So im playing andromeda and the gameplay looks so much better here. In andromeda it sucks. I dont understand that they would downgrade on that
Very well played despite the death (which was due to the bug that squad mates disappeared)
Thanks! I haven't 'finished' all the playthroughs I wanted still. Was intending to do all the main story bits as playthroughs. I still love the way biotics plays and feels in ME2
Why do you put a singularity in front of Harbinger? That doesn't do anything, does it?
I learned from different videos that you can do that to root them in place temporarily
@@JediNg135 Hmmm, I'll have to test this. I used to go Vanguard for my insanity runs, so that wouldn't have done much.
@@mrzoonix6368 yeah be sure to try it. if you watch in the video, Harbinger just kinda wiggles around in place for like 5 - 10 sec or whatever while they're ensnared by the singularity. IIRC that's what it does to any enemy that can't be immediately picked up by the singularity
@@JediNg135 That's super useful information, actually. The creeping forwards of the Harbinger is one of its most dangerous aspects. Being able to stop that could be critical. Things fall apart fast when you need to get away, especially with your teammates.
@@maynardburger -- Singularity puts armored enemies slightly off-balance. It also does a small amount of damage, but it's greatest strength is it puts its biotic effect on them, and when you then hit them with warp it detonates doing area of effect damage.
Kasumi's flashbang grenades are the better way to go for fights like this, though. Hit Harbinger with one and his powers shut down for nearly 40 seconds. Hit him with another grenade every so often and he's rendered utterly powerless for the entire fight.
I just got that game hope its good
You won't have to worry. It's pretty fun! Superficially, the a bad thing thing about ME2 that i can think of, off the top of my head, is the weird places characters look during dialogue scenes sometimes.
Ok thanks
Is no one talking about how cool and eerie the collector platforms sound? guess not...
I played casual mode and basically any husk I encountered got one shot with my throw and/or warp :-P thank god ME3 had a narrative mode. I didn't want my shitty combat skills to penalize me from furthering the story, but that's just me haha
Choice is great but I found that bioware games were the most balanced and fun when played on the hardest level
@@jefferyhall1646 I almost always play Bioware games on the easiest difficulty because I play for the story. If I want enjoyable combat I'd rather just play Dark Souls or something.
Love your username lol
Not gonna lie, this and what I've been reading saved my ass. Adept, Level 16, Grunt and Miranda, and a whole lot of praying, because that was way too stressful. Reminds me of an old saying.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but only by a smidgen. Thanks for this, I am grateful. Plus, I got a bandage on my index finger from a knife accident while cutting some cheese, so that didn't help feeling around on the controller.
Pretty good cheese.
Yeeeeaaaahhh, Femshep
I know this is a super late question,but how’s the pc port for this game?
I never played the console version nor read up about the differences, so i can't say one way or the other. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary with PC version though
I played it on X360 and PC so I guess I can help a bit.
Depends if you're a keyboard+mouse player, or more of a controller player.
If you're a keyboard+mouse player, then I guess the game is fine.
But if you're a controller player ( like me ) then you should know ( just in case you don't know already ) that ME2 don't have native controller support. You'll need to use a mod to be able to play it with a controller.
No worries, that mod is pretty easy to install. Even though I had some difficulties to actually make it work properly. Using the mod wouldn't let me load my save. The game was telling me that some DLCs needed to load the save were missing, despite the fact I own all of the DLCs and they were all installed. Took me 3 days to figure it out and make the mod work properly with the game. But hey, at least it ended up working just fine.
Other than that, not really any differences compared to the X360 version.
Well, except for the graphics who are a bit better on PC obviously. Also, it's only 30FPS on X360 vs 60FPS on PC, making the game run smoother and giving a better visual experience.
But I think that's about it. Personally haven't noticed any other differences. So if there's any other differences, I've never seen nor heard of it.
Gotta go shotgun Vanguard if you want some fun.
5:48 Wow
I remember making a bet that ill beat ME2 within 24 hours on Insanity...that was fun, i finished with like 15 mins remaining...i did sleep, eat, poop and even did some works... i cant recall now, but i think i took me like 14-17 hours to complete the game
Just the story you mean? With or without loyalty missions?
I'm currently going through ME1 as a soldier right now and plan to go to this game transferring my save data to it. But now that I think again, I guess I should just start fresh and play as an adept lol
Yes, do it. Soldier is pretty boring imo.
@@pablofenelon Yeah soldier is boring but the reaper IFF mission with the revenant is fun lol
@@JediNg135 Soldier is for standard tps gamers i guess, especially the adrenaline skill is very fun tho
I think it's too late, but it doesn't matter what class you choose in ME1. In ME2 even after transferring save data you still can pick any class you want.
You can change your class in ME2 you know, so when you carry your save over from ME1 just pick whatever class you want
this is the game I most played in my life like crazy. I love the storyline and concept. I quit being a pro gammer in 2011. today I played Mass Effect 3 just to test AMD APU system I bought for work and an HD screen of 27" as I was curious about what AMD claim, about AMD, I was shocked, it was giving me 30FPS on 2K settings with AA on. to get 60 frames on ME2 back in 2008 I had to spend £2000. WoW this is shocking as I'm getting a console like performance from AMD without GFX dirt cheap! but on the other hand game disappointed me. game play like movement and action is same? did they changed it? or am I rusty?
Mass effect game movement with 2 and 3 both are different. 2 is older so its slower and harder

Hey, I love your video! Also I have sent you a inbox about a potential business opportunity.
