@@rambofan334 What on earth are you talking about? I assume you're including Kelly Chambers, as if the one weird animation of her dancing for you was a romance. The wiki lists Samara and Morinth, but come the fuck on. One of them says no and that's that, and the other one literally fucking kills you if you try it. You cannot honestly be counting these.

Man, I REALLY wished they added the ME3 multiplayer to the Legendary Edition as well. It was so much fun, addicting, and I played alongside some great ppl during that time. Bioware should really consider bringing it back.
From what I've heard, they said they want to see what kind of reception the Legendary Edition gets, and they want to see how much of a demand for Multiplayer there is, if there's a strong enough demand, they'll bring back multiplayer.
Me2. Really want to play the multiplayer again, without having to start my ps3. Plus, on ps3 the game freezes when playing platinum difficulty. On ps4 it probably won't freeze. I probably won't bother with platinum though. Will stick to gold.
Doesn't Liara make a brief cameo in Andromeda in an audio file? I have a vague memory of a quest where you find out your dad knew her before the ark ship left and they were discussing the Reapers together.
I am impressed. I am a ME fan, and I was expecting this video to have generally well known things. Pleasantly surprised that I only knew 1 of them! Great stuff!
Yes please. I completed all 3 MEs multiple times. Great games. I'm familiar with many people argue about story, but after ME1 you literally know what will be at the end of ME3. It's about how you get to the very end
Bioware then: "... something that's a new IP, on a new platform, with a new engine. With all those things, you've got to really focus on the core elements of the game" - Games nowadays: "It doesn't have to run, just put in multiplayer and item shop. The more colors the better. " Games look more and more like casinos.
Nope. All of your choices are reduced to an EMS score. Doesn't matter if you saved the rachni; the Reapers enslave them either way, because BioWare was too chickshit to give players consequences. Doesn't matter whether you save or blow up the Collector base: you get a small piece of the baby Reaper either way, because BioWare was too chickshit to give players consequences.
You can talk Wrex down on Virmire even if you have all the party members available, you have to do certain things and have a high enough level of paragon or renegade for it to pop but it can be done. It's not party size dependant at all.
Here is something to let the people know.... On PC Steam at least, the game will not start without first logging in with your EA account. IF you dont have one and make a new one....Then you can wait longer then it took to download the game for confirmation from EA. P.S. I am still waiting....going on 3 1/2 hours as writing this. What a wonderful company EA is:)
@@KingJohnMichael Yep it is my problem...And now still waiting 16 hours for verification. Just would have been nice to know so I could have made an account before Launch.
Okay.... you can't tell someone that already isn't a fan of ME: Andromeda that they TOOK OUT possibly the BEST side mission they probably ever made! Man, I do hope they try and use it later on.
Hope they'll add the multiplayer to the legendary edition. I've gotten the platinum trophy in all 3 games now, and I don't feel like replaying. Not even to get the 3rd paramour trophy for me2. But the multiplayer will make me play me3 so much.
I never played Mass Effect. If you had to define it like a mix of two movies, what would it be? For example a mix between Star Trek and Stargate? Let me know!
The most secret fact. The original Devs left the ship long ago and we will never get another ME . This is a EA product now and we are consumers not players.
@@kingmerck1538 It's the comment section under IGN. It could be the most wholesome video ever and you'll still find people having a problem with something or someone.
Mass Effect 3 was rushed and the writers changed a frw times, hence the mess on the final act and the disconnect between solving the Geth/Quarian conflict with a coexistent synthesis which was helpful for both species rather than the magic green beam.
The fact that they even considered calling it "citadel" is just further evidence that babylon 5 was the main inspiration for the trilogy, no matter what they say. Of course the trilogy references a lot of material (ME2 being very inspired by the star trek reboot), but overall mass effect is simply babylon 5 with more action
Mass Effect has been quite? We've been getting comics, books and merchandise almost every single year with the exception of 2019, it's not quite at all if you're not a games-only fan
I always had a hunch that the vision sequence used real elements. The brief glimpses of tech and flesh looks far to good to be CG at the time. It looked like something strait out of H.R Giger’s mind, and I was sold!
I remember the first time I played ME1 in 2009 or so, my 13 yr old self saw that part and it was so grounded in realism that it really excited me about the adventure to come... I was not disappointed
I was a bit disappointed, that you just get the same vision sequence, several times, when in-world, shepard supposedly gets progressively clearer versions..
7 things. Really. Try me. Edit: Not even close. Props for getting *some* things that aren't just the top things on wikipedia like some other channels though.
stop with the bullshit excuse that "they just had both actors record all lines just in case". Brian Kindregan has confirmed more same sex romances were originally intended. Bioware cut them because they were targeting COD players in 2007-2010 who weren't exactly the most cosmopolitan bunch. Neither were their parents at a time where parents boycotts of target and walmart actually had an impact. This is just an excuse to avoid backlash for not fixing this in the LE (along with a bunch of bugs they left in)
In the best possible way to describe it sadly yes. The same way your life story is cannon in someone’s life story in Asia. They are connected over lore but entirely different stories.
@@applecider2754 You guys need to quit shitting on Andromeda already, it's been 4 fucking years. The game was buggy and a mess at launch, but the story isn't as bad as you're making it seem. It's an above average game that had a horrific launch.
@@jossebrodeur6033 Personally I don’t care it’s been four years I’m gonna shit on that game just like I’m gonna shit on mass effect three and it’s ending and how all of the event seemed out of place and rushed as shit
I did not know::: That to play this game requires constant and never ending menu manipulation. Combat is clunky enough as it is, toss in the fact that for every action you wish to take, every skill or power you want to use, including management of your companions, you must access the menu or power or skill wheel. AAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!! This is a constant and never ending menu manipulation game. I cannot stand such a requirement for constant menu manipulation. Uninstalled the game. I guess you do not know, until you try. Now I do know. Cheers Kit

They probably recorded this before it was released
No need to show off 😂
@@Maesterful thinkin the same bruh😂😂
Me who gets this recommended to them 5 days later...
Not mass effect :P
Heres another fact for ya. Mass effect 1 had controversy just because you could romance aliens and you can see Liaras ass for like 2 seconds
And because Liara was seen as a lesbian romance option. Fox News tore the game apart, showing brief clips of the sex scene with femshep over and over, convincing BioWare upper management to excise any and all gay content from the already in development ME2. Jack and Jacob were supposed to be bi. It remains the only Mass Effect base game with no same-sex romance (including asari).
@@wdya wrong, you can continue the Liara romance in ME2, because apparently gay sex is more controversial than alien sex
@@killyourdarlings1305 Wrong, that was in DLC, where they were a lot less restricted. I said "base game," which Liara is barely in.
@@wdya Are you fucking high? ME2 has 3 characters you can romance as any gender.

The Reaper ‘horn’ sound effect... was originally a rusty wheely bin lid in a park, they just dropped it in pitch.

They will. It’s rumored to be announced at EA play this year

On ps4 it probably won't freeze.

Element Zero woulda been cool too not gonna lie
Nah, "Mass Effect" has some gravity to it.
Element Zero sounds more generic to me. But hey, in an alternate universe maybe I'd be saying the same thing about 'Mass Effect'.
N7 or Specter would have worked as a title. Element Zero sounds like a fake movie in the Seinfeld universe like Prognosis Negative.
F#$k no lol
The Prothean Vision/grocery meats story is incredible 😂
Doesn't Liara make a brief cameo in Andromeda in an audio file? I have a vague memory of a quest where you find out your dad knew her before the ark ship left and they were discussing the Reapers together.
I am impressed. I am a ME fan, and I was expecting this video to have generally well known things. Pleasantly surprised that I only knew 1 of them! Great stuff!
That situation on virmire with wrex happened in ME1 you labeled it as 3
Lol
Yes please. I completed all 3 MEs multiple times. Great games. I'm familiar with many people argue about story, but after ME1 you literally know what will be at the end of ME3. It's about how you get to the very end
This video is nothing but spoilers, should skip if you haven’t played the games yet.
Thank you kind sir!
Oh crap. I haven’t finished the 3rd one. Thank you 👍🏽

LOL I was wondering how the prothean "meat" vision was made! Thanks!
I literally always thought the name *Mass Effect* meant your decision would have a *“massive effect”* on the outcome 😂
lol 😂
Lol true af xD
Mass Affect
Nope.

Wow I actually didnt know most of these... Also I love Mordin lol.

just bought this
estimated download time: 3 days, 14 hours 😭
can't waitt
Jeez, how bad is your internet?
you on dial-up internet???? LMAO
it's not even that bad.. but minimum download time for normal games is always at least 5h 😂
im not doing anything else
@@byventrex7597 man 5 hours is waaay too loong
Is it still downloading? lol
3:51 It is very possible for the situation with Rex to go bad and you do kill him,and the mission goes on.
You can talk Wrex down on Virmire even if you have all the party members available, you have to do certain things and have a high enough level of paragon or renegade for it to pop but it can be done. It's not party size dependant at all.
It's not, but if you have only 3 party members you can skip the check altogether
Sad multiplayer didnt make it. It was fun to use the different alien races and their abilities.
But marauder shields was the hardest boss fight ever

Awkward moment when you’ve got a renegade Shep named Kenneth… you killed Wrex bro
I never played Mass Effect.
If you had to define it like a mix of two movies, what would it be?
For example a mix between Star Trek and Stargate? Let me know!
Stargate and Serenity perhaps.
It reminds me of star trek meets the expanse TV show.
One of the best game series ever!
What I want to know is if Kenneth Shepard named his Commander Shepard, Kenneth...
The “medicinal” drug use plot/story in MEA totally still happened. On Kadara

What is that song at the beginning?
The fact that they even considered calling it "citadel" is just further evidence that babylon 5 was the main inspiration for the trilogy, no matter what they say. Of course the trilogy references a lot of material (ME2 being very inspired by the star trek reboot), but overall mass effect is simply babylon 5 with more action
Mass Effect looks amazing on current Gen
Mass Effect has been quite? We've been getting comics, books and merchandise almost every single year with the exception of 2019, it's not quite at all if you're not a games-only fan
8. Mass Effect 3 had a much better storyline in November of 2011. Among countless other things, Javik was originally part of the main plot.
I knew about all of this you jer...I'm just kidding man, good video.
Gotta say despite Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer being a soul-sucking dumpster fire of Microtransactions I'm going to miss it. FUNEST HORDE MODE EVER!
I always had a hunch that the vision sequence used real elements. The brief glimpses of tech and flesh looks far to good to be CG at the time.
