    I know this is only ME1 but I could not agree more with Joe when he talked about ME3 and how that entire game is an ending to this story not just the last 15 minutes. ME3 is also my favorite in the trilogy and I cannot wait to replay it. The way 1 sets up the universe and scope of the narrative is truly amazing though. Its just hardcore sci fi at its very best

    I am late to the party, but just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Ben was a great moderator and Joe and Sarah contributed many insightful and entertaining thoughts about the game. The conversation was lively, and natural. However, for the same (somewhat sadistic) reason that watching videos of people eating really bad tasting food is popular, watching Leo Vader suffer through this series was also entertaining. So much so that I'd happily tune into a live stream of Leo being forced to play ME2 and ME3. :)

  • @michaelhudson3737
    @michaelhudson3737 3 роки тому +2

    a big thing that i kinda forgot that help put Wrex and Krogan into perspective is that they seem to live longer than the Asari or don't even die from ageing. i think wrex is meant to be like 1000 years old which is why he is more introspective than most.
    but yeah having only even half beaten the game previously in the end i thought it was great but the whole virmire and ending section espically really helps bump it up into that great teritory.
    i'm well into 2 now and havening beaten that before i am loving it so much... Thank God for Variety.

  • @maniac6933
    @maniac6933 3 роки тому +3

    Sarah is somewhat incorrect regarding the First Contact war; humans were opening mass relays willy nilly yes, but had NOT YET met an alien race; the Turians saw the violations and chose to open fire first without making another form of contact.

    • @wezacker6482
      @wezacker6482 2 роки тому

      Loved Sarah's comments and insights throughout (MVP!), but, yeah. I was arguing with my computer screen when she said this too. Humans had no idea they were doing anything wrong, were never told not to do what they were doing, and, from the human perspective, the Turians DID just attack us immediately for no apparent reason. Add humanities experience with the Batarians in the Skyllian Blitz and you can clearly see that Ashley is not a 'space racist.'
      As a soldier, she's has taken on the responsibility of protecting humanity from danger, which, so far, has already included 2 races attacking us, one with a sucker punch out of nowhere. If she was a 'space racist' she'd be all about Cerberus. She hates Cerberus.
      At the point ME1 begins, humanity (AND Shepard) has more reason to be extremely wary in their dealings with other races than most players realize, I think. That doesn't mean that we can't eventually count aliens among our friends and allies, that's a big part of the journey Shepard and humanity takes over the span of this series, but at the start, humanity has good reasons to be wary.

    Awesome Deepest Dive! I’m just catching up now after rolling credits on ME3 last night.
    The Legendary Edition was my first time playing the Mass Effect Trilogy and I absolutely loved it! I’m obviously aware of BioWare’s stellar reputation and was a big fan of KOTOR but trying to be a realist, I went in with my expectations tempered and fully expected Mass Effect to be great but ultimately unable to live up to such lofty hype. I’m very pleased to say that Mass Effect was every bit as special as everyone says and in fact it exceeded my expectations of how good it was! It’s not a perfect game or series by any means but it’s up there for me now as one of my favourite series of all time! A simply phenomenal experience!
    Would love to see you do Deepest Dives for ME2 and 3 but totally understand if you can’t spare the time or feel you’d just be going over similar ground. I’m off to give Andromeda a go to help me come down from my Mass Effect high. What an incredible series!

    I've been to the California Great America theme park a few times and knew Mass Effect: New Earth was there. I'm surprised the gang did not! That particular theater attraction has had a few fascinating things over the last two decades, a Spongebob thing was there before Mass Effect, and before that was James Bond: License to Thrill. That experience was incredible, a first person 007 adventure where I specifically remember jumping a motorcycle onto a moving train chasing the baddie. The pre-show was hosted by Desmond Llwelyn as Q too. It seems like there's only one video on the internet about License to Thrill, but it will live in my heart forever.

    As far as the being more of a Captain question. It got me thinking. Considering all of the sci-fi influences, it would have been great to have some Battlestar Galactica references. We already have the Quarians and Geth relationship which is highly similar to the Cylons and the 12 colonies, but being Admiral Adama and commanding the ship during a enemy engagement that requires strategy to avoid losing crew members would have been really neat. Surprised that the series has yet to take that opportunity.

    Captain Kirrahe and his squad are also on the Normandy after the mission. They're down in the hanger in the corner to the left I think. There's nothing super meaningful from this (that I know of), just a cool touch they included.
    If none of you used the explosive rounds attachment I'd recommend seeking it out. Putting it on my shotgun plus giving it to Wrex's shotgun makes the game very fun as you round corners and immediately delete the enemy standing there or you see an enemy fly across your screen from Wrex's devastation. The physics of this game were overall satisfying between using the Mako cannon, biotics, or an explosive shotgun round to the face.

    Concerning the vulnerability of Sovereign and the Reapers; if you’re playing renegade or just feeling tough, while talking to sovereign on Virmire you have a choice that says “But you’re just a machine, and machines can be broken.” I think it kind of plays into the conflict between organically and synthetics that even when anyone who knows anything about the reapers says the unstoppable (never invulnerable I might add as well), that almost out of spite organics, humans, would rather die fighting that submit or be rolled over. Like the reapers are only unstoppable if you believe them to be so.

    Funnily enough, Bioware's older games, Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2 had you importing your save file from the first into the second and some decisions would carry over. I don't think it was as in depth as Mass Effect but it still affected the player character quite significantly.

    Why no male shepherd? Seems odd. Both sides of the story would have been better. 4 different presenters could have played 4 different ways. Male and female, paragon and renegade of both. Definitely a missed opportunity to show the ENTIRE game\choices not just "your fav" voice actor. Bias is very clear on this "deep dive" and with no ME2 or ME3 in sight despite it being a year later. Pathetic.
