I will never save Kaiden lol. Not that xenophobic Ash is any better. I read that the morality system is being tweaked to be more forgiving. So hopefully that means we all could gain some flexibility in what we choose without fully forcing us to always make paragon or renegade choices.

Every once in a while, IGN makes an informed and interesting video that speaks directly to the lore of the game they're speaking on. Was not expecting we'd open up to the leviathans. Props to Kenneth SHEPARD!
Yup. Sovereign or actually "Nazara" was just the Reaper who stayed behind after the prothean wipe to check the status of the galaxy and activate the Citadel relay to ensure the return of his Kind. I mean who am I telling that you obviously know that 😂
The Mass Effect lore is IMPECCABLE. It's the only franchise in existence that hooked me in reverse. What I mean by that is usually with videogames you get sucked into the lore and world building by playing the games. But for me with Mass Effect I was addicted to the lore long before even touching one of the games for the first time. And it's not like there are any movies for series based on it. I got hooked purely on the story that I consumed through videos made by other passionate fans. It's truly a unicorn of a great story.
I’ve never played this series and just finished mass effect 2 in the legendary edition. I cannot believe I missed such an amazing game series. Saving this video for when I finish mass effect 3. Also thank you to the community for being so welcoming and supportive of new players! We appreciate you!!
That music at the end of ME3 section at 16:50 always reminds me of how emotional i was that the journey was finally over and that 'we' had won. Even tho many people found the ending disappointing, i still remember it fondly and always remember: its about the journey, not the destination.
In case you’re going to play this series for the first time on Friday, here’s a timely spoiler for the entire trilogy just in time for a game that won’t be released for at least a year.
I am so happy that this is finally coming out! Now I can experience the full epic that is Mass effect 1 2 and 3. I never played the first game I only played two and three.
Salarians didn’t infect the krogans with the genophage they just made it. It was the turians the salarians were actually upset with the turians for using genophage against the krogans
Spoiler alert, despite the age of the series..., there are people who haven't played it. They may think this is just some background before you play Legendary Edition.
But why post this video before the entire trilogy gets re-released? The people who are new don’t want to see this and people who are replaying would probably rather re-discover things themselves. This kind of set up works if the third game in a series is dropping or something.
Isn’t a “story so far” video usually done when there’s a sequel? Not when a remastered collection telling the exact same story recapped here is about to be released?
I'm just glad you included Andromeda here. I know a lot of people didn't like it and keep insisting that it didn't happen, but I liked it. It has problems, sure, but overall it was a good but problematic game. Still hope we get some kind of conclusion to the couple of dangling plot threads it left.
@@onyxtomahawk4788 I wouldn’t say “lame”, but I agree that both the story and the characters weren’t anywhere near as good as any of the trilogy. Drack is the only one I’d say is good, everyone else is OK at best. Story-wise I thought it was only decent but it did get interesting once the Jardaan were introduced. The problem is that Andromeda is a 60 hour game, and they’re introduced only 58 hours in. There’s not enough time to delve more into that plot line. That’s why I want a follow up, be it a game or even a book: let’s flesh out the Jardaan and the Benefactor storylines because there could be something good to scrounge up there.
@@RandomShinigami7 I disagree with some points, some of the teammates in andromeda were better that some team mates in the original trilogy, Cora IMO is better than xenophobic Ashley, Liam is better than Jacob and Kaiden etc, mass effect has a lot of squad members, but we can’t pretend like some of the original mass effect characters were flawless because they were part of the original trilogy, a few of them were lame and generic
The timing of this video just makes no sense at all. "Mass Effect's trending popular again, let's break down everything that happens in the games that are about to re-release!" Break it down for whom? New players hopefully wouldn't be after full spoilers, Old players likely want to experience it all fresh. This should have come out in the run-up to Mass Effect 4 releasing, not just now because Mass Effect is on peoples' minds
I'm not a player of the game but I do enjoy a great Sci-Fi/Fantasy gameplay as a spectator. I thought I best find out about the backstory so that I don't ask dumb questions in Livestream. TY for sharing.:)
@@bloodslayer9994 I was in the same boat as you a few days ago. I just finished the franchise for the first time. By the end of ME 3, you’ll be begging for ME 4 to come out soon.
@@nisl9039 I’m saying ME4 under the presumption that the next mass effect is a sequel of some sort to the OG trilogy. May or may not have Shepard. I don’t really consider Andromeda as being ME 4, it’s it own thing.
Why the hell would you create let alone post this video before the Trilogy is about to be released. Why spoil it for new comers, and seasoned Mass Effect Players already know the story. I was expecting you to cover the events of the codex before Mass Effect 1 not the events of the 3 games
I kinda wonder about harbinger he took off after blasting shepherd, we didn't see him die. It's assumed all reapers are destroyed, but maybe we haven't seen the last of the reapers, I wouldn't expect a full force but maybe some that held back in dark space.
Technically the last Species to arrive in the galctic community were the Raloi. They made first contact in 2184 with the Asari... Arround the time Shepard was "aways" In 2186 after you are reinstated as Spectre you can listen to a announcement by Alliance News Network in the Spectre office that says. The Raloi after learning about the end times are upon them, broke down any signs of space faring and would went out into hiding... Hoping that the Reapers they just learned about would see them as too primitive and would not have them on the harvest list... masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Raloi That is the only time in the original trillogy you hear of Raloi though...
Super confused about the point of this video. If you played the Trilogy, you know the story already. If you havn't, why would you watch this and spoil the BEST part of this trilogy? What group is this video intended to serve? Love IGN but don't think this video was necessary 4 days before the release. Maybe a few months after? My 2 cents.
@@Stephen_Black why would veterans be going back to watch and then play Andromeda? I've already beat Andromeda and the first three. I'm a veteran and remember the story. So I still don't see the point.
Anyone else finally get into mass effect and want to know what the actual fuck is going on? I’m playing andromeda rn and I have no idea why I’m shooting some aliens but others got the same uniform, how the hell we got from not even having a moon base to stepping foot on planets like it’s nothing, and why the pathfinders are just a cooler version of a character I was designing for a book I wanna write. Ok that last question is just me but still, this is some crazy shit
Is it just me or this video is totally unnecesary? I mean, we are 5 days away from playing the ENTIRE story, some for the first time. Weird choice of video
I’m currently half way through ME3 and got andromeda ready to go next. But watching the first minute of andromeda story, isn’t it really grim if Shepard saves the world and there’s a team of thousands who have left their families and lives behind to a new galaxy and have no way of knowing or returning that their original galaxy was saved???
Anyone else notice how IGN missed out a lot more info? From andromeda there is a lot missing I noticed and was waiting on to see if it would be said....
Organic life in the Milky Way: we can't control our AI creations! Leviathan species: hold my squid beer AI is killing organic life in the galaxy, and their solution is to create their own AI?
Excited to begin my journey anew by trying to make a non-fugly, customized male Shepard this time. Already played through as Paragon and Renegade Femshep... ...Honestly I’ll probs just make another Femshep. She’s the best.
The unknown planet the Normandy crashes on is actually the planet the humans inhabited in andromeda at the end but hey that’s just a theory…A GAME THEORY😂
At the end of my first playthrough (just like 10min before typing) when the kid gave me the choice, I decided to screw 50hrs of my life and try shooting the thing. Didn't end well for Shep.
Whats the point in this video? Its just gonna ruin the story for those whos first time it will be to play the trilogy. This makes more sense to do when ME4 releases. Which is currently in development. That actually looks to take place after ME3. IGN as boneheaded as always..😑🙄
Don't get me wrong I was excited to play resident evil 8 but man I think mass effect trilogy remaster is my most hype game this year so far since we pretty much have no clue whats coming out 2nd half this year
I only played the first ME, but dude slow down with the explanation. It's not a race. You don't have to pay RUclips per minute of video. You talked too fast and made one off references without context
This really should have just been background on the different races of the galaxy leading up to the beginning of Mass Effect One. I don't know who this spoiler video serves?
I’m too excited for the remaster. I keep wanting it to be a new Mass Effect game :( Imagine if Bethesda actually pulls off a winner with Starfield that’s as good as Mass Effect, not holding my breath....
I didn't play the games until all 3 were released together in a box set, so I missed all the waiting and hype. I was fine with the extended endings, but I could imagine them being underwhelming/bad for people who played them as they released.
This should have a GIANT spoiler warning for those who haven’t played the games and are about to! The story arc from the first game is almost as good as KOTOR.. And should be discovered from playing if one chooses to.
Will i buy the trilogy and make the same exact choices all over again? Of course i will

Played it 3 years ago and was really surprised by the story. A Great trilogy worth a playtrough
The Greatest Trilogy
That music at the end of ME3 section at 16:50 always reminds me of how emotional i was that the journey was finally over and that 'we' had won. Even tho many people found the ending disappointing, i still remember it fondly and always remember: its about the journey, not the destination.

Haha IGN experts....
Nope truth is...
Spotted a mistake, might edit after finding more. The Bahak system isn’t the batarian home system, it’s just a colony
There were several small lore mistakes throughout this video but for the most part, it was ok.
In ME: Andromeda, Jaal is not the leader of the resistance, he is merely part of it. The leader is named Evra (i hope that is spelled correctly)
Salarians didn’t infect the krogans with the genophage they just made it. It was the turians the salarians were actually upset with the turians for using genophage against the krogans
