    I remember browsing the fallout Reddit page almost a decade ago when I saw someone link the Fallout:NV YOLO run. Topic was something like “This guy is playing FO:NV on one health bar”. That’s how I found MATN and I’ve been following ever since.

    I remember discovering your RUclips channel back when I barely spoke English. I think I either finished or was deep enough into FO:NV to want to watch content about it. I started with some video essays and at some point I saw a recommendation "Fallout: New Vegas Kill Everything", being the edgy kid I was I instantly started binging the entire series! And since then I've been watching your content.
    You have no idea how much English you taught me :) When I finally got to change my legal names I took yours as my second name - to always remember how your channel has kept me company for so many years, and how much I learnt by simply listening to one passionate Brit play video games. Thank you Jon (and Claire, and Tabby, and Ted

    @inkyGhosty Месяц назад +104

    Everything you say about Mass Effect 1 is correct. It's the best introduction to a new universe, and its first mission: from the character creator, Udina and Anderson discussing Shepard's background, the little stroll around the ship before the Eden Prime,to the introduction to Saren... is as PERFECT a first mission as there will ever be. But the game rarely lets up from there, and the ending is the most blood pumping, I can't wait for a sequel satisfying ending ever. They would never recapture this, for as much as ME 2 was "improved", it lost just as many things.

    • @malachibiffle7418
      @malachibiffle7418 Месяц назад +12

      I genuinely feel 2 is the weakest entry in the franchise and is saved purely by A) Mordin Solus, and B) people being really invested in the plot reveals in the last 20% of the game and their contribution to the overall canon. 3 has the exact opposite problem, where it's phenomenal right up until the bloody end. And if Andromeda had come out before 3, people would have loved it. It's a perfectly enjoyable game. It just wasn't grand enough and original enough to stand alone after the epic trilogy that the originals were.

      Always felt that ME1 was an action RPG, and ME2 was an ACTION rpg, if you get my drift. They almost felt like two different genres at times. Not a fan of game studios making everything 'streamlined and slick' at the expense of pretty much everything else but ME2 hadn't gone that far down the rabbit hole at the time.

    One thing I loved about the original Mass Effect is they built into lore that weapons (ostensibly) have unlimited ammo bc the tech had advanced so that the metal slug being chipped away at would take a very long time to expend thus in gameplay terms meant infinite ammo (with a cooldown). This spoke to the balance of RPG and Shooter (and idk just think it was a fun concept) but they dropped that with the sequel bc gamers love reloading or something.

      Lore wise, you still weren't firing "ammo" as we have it today. You were still firing the same little metal shavings, but, you had a swappable heatsink. What I don't understand is why they didn't have some sort of bandolier that would rapidly cool the heatsinks for re-use. Giving you time to "reload" but giving you an almost infininte ammo pool that you could exhaust if firing enough rounds quickly enough. They explain it in-game. The geth calculated that more rounds fired = more win. Waiting for cooldowns = fewer rounds fired = you lose.

    Was gonna argue with you Jon about Mass Effect vs Mass Effect 2, but then I realized you’re right. I actually tried MS2 before MS1, and I really didn’t like it at first. It wasn’t until years later that I grabbed MS1 on a sale and played that through entirely, did I go into MS2 once more and have an absolute blast. Mass Effect 1 had to walk so Mass Effect 2 could run.

    Jon, after listening to your opinions on Mass Effect (which I for one wholeheartedly agree with, BTW), if you haven't read Seamus Young's ME retrospective (googling should bring it right up), you really, really should. It's a frankly alarmingly deep dive into the trilogy and why ME1 was so important and did so much that the following two games shamelessly exploited and let go to waste. (While still acknowledging the gameplay changes that were largely if not always entirely for the better). One of the best internet reads out there, imo.

    Rome Total War is in my top 3 too. I would not remotely be surprised if I had over 10,000 hours in it, if you also include the first Europa Barbarorum mod. I think if RTW had RTW2's map and graphics, it would be my perfect game. The mechanics Creative Assembly introduce, and then never feature again, are just heartbreaking; and they have never made a comparable game since.
    Jon and I are very similar, as far as being goofball nerds who share Classics education. Besides having 80% commonality in favorite games, we seem to share the same values and sense of humor. So even with series I hate, I can't help but watch because it's a good time. I also value that for many people it's a safe space. I am 39 years old, and until 3 years ago, I never watched any video content of any sort on the internet. But I just love this channel, and I wish I wasn't dirt poor, so that I could show appreciation in a way that's helpful.
    Only difference in favorite games is that I stopped playing consoles by the year 2000 or so. So mine would include more older PC games. No One Lives Forever, C&C Red Alert, Dune 2, Star Control 2, MechWarrior 4. I hope Jon can survive off this channel for a long time to come, because I am so jealous that he gets paid to do what I desperately struggle to find the free time to do for fun.
