Ah this trilogy is my favourite thing ever, I adore it so much. Awesome video, would love to see the rest of the trilogy get the platinum treatment, also good luck with the house move
If you play as Vanguard you can get all the trophies pertaining to power usage in one play through as all the powers you need you or one of your squad mates has.
I think you can do it with any class. I did it as a Soldier, I just had to rely on my squad mates to do it since they have all the other abilities you need.
One of the best trilogies out there My introduction to this series was actually through the Legendary Edition I now have 100 percented the game on Xbox I feel like I could do it again!
Awesome video as always, you are a joy to watch! The commentary and the gameplay is superb. I also quickly want to say thanks for inspiring me to create my own platinum videos as I just released my first video!
Currently going through the trilogy on Insanity myself. Got done with 2. I have it so the games stack in my trophy list. First the platinumed ME1, then 2, 3, then the soon to be 100% Legendary Edition list. Looks sick
@@MayorHairBear I already have the game on disc and from PS+, I just haven't got around to it because my backlog is like 50 games long. Will definitely do tho! But probably not on insanity like you did. I played Mass Effect 2&3 when I was like 14 years old and got stuck at some point on normal/hard 😂
As someone with 2k hours in the trilogy i cant wait for the follow up of this series. While I despise mass effect 2, its nice that others can appreciate it.
Hey, MHB, glad to see you rediscovering your live for Mass Effect. Have you ever tried a modded playthrough? I've been playing my first time with mods, and they really add to the experience. Especially in the first game. Not so much the second game, that hasn't received much attention.
i played all of one and 2 ive been trying to get secret dialogs and such but i love going for renegade because it brings a fire shepard needs i also go with paragon to be compassionate and shit when its needed
I’m thinking about doing these games for platinum’s 97-99. I haven’t played them since the PS3. The legendary edition has been sitting on my shelf since it came out 😅
Ashley is an infinitely more interesting and complex character. Kaiden is probably top 3 most boring Mass Effect Characters, behind the reporter and the swoll dude in ME3.
I broke my playthrough down into 2 runs. A normal diff Paragon 100% the content run... loved it. Working on my renegade Insanity run now, 1 is done but 2 is slowing me down XD Still love it thou
Best squadmates, I found are Miranda and Kasumi. Miranda as she has Warp and Overload to help with shields and barriers but Kasumi's grenade ability stuns enemies and stops them moving. Essential against Harbinger. Upgrade it to max and it's ultimate cheese. With ammo, I went armor piercing.
I'm not much into Sci-FI but I decided to finally give it a try last December. Did a full 100% playthrough of the whole collection. ME: LE shows how achievements should be made. None of them felt tedious and majority of them are unlocked by just playing and exploring. The story is definitely excellent, as well as the characters. Everything else was kinda mid imo.
How? It took me 16 hours to plat, first play through and I took my time with things. What could you possibly do the other 4184 hours? Around 30 hours for a second, 100% playthrough sure, but 4000+??
People who change the default male shep make me uncomfy. They always look like melted clay men. Mark Vanderloo did not look so damn hot in those reference pics for people to change his beautiful face! (great vid btw glad someone else has this plat on youtube. I have all 3 and the insanity trophies and theyre lovely)
A lot of people hunting for trophies/achievements who stay loyal to Liara in ME2, get mad for not unlocking Paramour 2 (since her romance in Lair Of The Shadow Broker doesn't count for some reason). So here I have the perfect solution called... *Throwaway A$sh0le Shepard* (BEWARE OF SPOILERS BELOW) > Romance Ashley in ME1 > Romance Tali in ME2 > Kill Ashley in ME3 > Star a romance with Liara in ME3 > Breakup with Tali in ME3 and then choose the Geth over the Quarians, forcing Tali to Oof herself > This will get you all 3 Paramour trophies without any issues > Laugh if you're evil or feel guilty af because you're the biggest dickhead in the galaxy 😂
@@MayorHairBear 😂😂 fair enough and to each their own but I just really enjoy Ashley’s arch of being an ignorant bigot in RE1 to someone who really cares about her all her squad mates in 3
@Pumba I get it mate, I'm just pulling your leg 😂 I agree Ashley does get a lot better as the series goes but for me, it's not enough to save her here 😂
@@MayorHairBear of course. It’s all fun 😂. my friends and I used to have a running joke about her. “She’s a terrible person but at least she’s not boring.” Regardless of who you chose to save, it’s hilarious to me that BioWare intended for that to be a hard/sad choice and everyone just picked one and happily looks at as a chance to kill the other 😂.
@@Pumba424 She's not actually a terrible person. Even one of the Devs came forward and said that she is NOT a space racist, and was never intended to be seen that way. He admitted that they screwed the pooch on the "animals" line on the Citadel, but said the intention was just to highlight the evolutionary aspect of Mass Effect. That many of the Citadel races were evolved from what would be animals on Earth. Jelly fish, lizards, avian species, etc. They used Ashley, and kept her in character as a soldier with little to no experience with Aliens. Soldiers are known to talk with no filter, saying what everyone sees, but fear saying because they don't want to offend. You see, they wrote Ashley, so they know all about her, such as how she called out Terra Firma, and said that while some of their goals were noble, it was ruined by their racism. So the Devs went out of their way to repair Ashley. For instance, if Tali is killed in ME2, or in ME3 due to choosing the Geth, Ashley will not be happy about it, stating that Tali was like a sister to her. She can only be referring to the time they spent together on the SR1, in ME1. Ashley also hates the actual space racist organization, Cerberus. Hates them with a passion. Not exactly in keeping with being a space racist. As for her questioning Shepard about having Aliens on the Normandy, this was very realistic, and would have been the prevailing attitude on the Normandy. How do I know? I was on the first U.S. aircraft carrier to have a Russian helo land on it. I assure you that was a very surreal feeling. They were not, "one of us." It should also be noted that Ashley's distrust was proven right, time and again. The Citadel races weren't exactly sitting around the fire singing Kumbaya. Something lost on most players, is that what Shepard was doing, creating such a diverse team, was actually unheard of. In fact, the Citadel literally financed the creation of the Normandy to encourage cooperation between Turians and Humans.
I’m Mayor Hair Bear and this is my favorite store on the Citadel
You're god damn right!
Never having played ME, getting it for 6 dollars in 2024 blew me away at how good the writing was
Still holds up so well today, glad you finally experienced it!
I'm playing it now for first time
Mass Effect is THE science fiction game - the one everyone has to play atleast, like, 11 times.
I'm with you 100%!
You knows it’s gonna be a good day when Mayorhairbear releases a new video, we need more!
Plenty more to come mate!
I'm like 4 trophies away from the ME2 platinum and I wasn't even going for it. I'm gonna finish ME3 and then I'm grabbing that plat!
You went through the exact same gripes I did when I platinumed this in the hardest difficulty 😩 2 is a... Doozy, especially in the final missions.
Yeah I definitely remember 2 being a lot more challenging on Insanity, excited to see how it goes! 😂
Bro last mission on 3 was a pain especially the survive wave after wave
What do you mean, to "platinum" the game? Is this something to do with consoles? I've played the game many many times on PC.
@@leroyrussell8766 to "platinum" is to get all the trophies (achievements) on Playstation versions of games.
this video was so entertaining! thank you for managing a challenging move and completing this gem at the same time.
Thank you so much mate!
Ah this trilogy is my favourite thing ever, I adore it so much. Awesome video, would love to see the rest of the trilogy get the platinum treatment, also good luck with the house move
Thank you mate! Yeah I'd love to keep the series going!

One of the best trilogies out there
My introduction to this series was actually through the Legendary Edition
I now have 100 percented the game on Xbox
I feel like I could do it again!
Mass Effect is such a masterpiece! I love this franchise so much.
It was incredible to re-experience this game, can't wait to replay 2 and 3!
@@MayorHairBear I can’t wait to see it!
Awesome video as always, you are a joy to watch! The commentary and the gameplay is superb. I also quickly want to say thanks for inspiring me to create my own platinum videos as I just released my first video!
Thank you mate and that's awesome!
Hope moving goes well man! Keep up the great work!

Mass Effect Trilogy, another game on my "Platinum Backlog" 😁
Great to see we share similar taste in great games. Sleeping Dogs as well ❤
Highly recommend grabbing this one when you get the chance, it was incredible!
@@MayorHairBear I already have the game on disc and from PS+, I just haven't got around to it because my backlog is like 50 games long.
Will definitely do tho! But probably not on insanity like you did. I played Mass Effect 2&3 when I was like 14 years old and got stuck at some point on normal/hard 😂
I just played this game and wanted to see someone platinum it and I’m surprised at how good and how recent this video was
Thank you mate!
Keep these awesome videos up dude! Definitely my favourite platinum channel, you just play all the same games I do😂
Hell yeah mate, that's awesome!
@@MayorHairBear legit was about to make a video on podracers for the channel I upload to the day you posted yours😂
As someone with 2k hours in the trilogy i cant wait for the follow up of this series. While I despise mass effect 2, its nice that others can appreciate it.
Kaidan protectors unite! Laughed out loud at the “ahem, Ashley”!
It's like not even a debate, Kaiden is just far superior 😂
@@MayorHairBear You're not one of those people who still believe Ashley is a "space racist," are you? LOL
"trashley"
I would love to see Mafia 2 on this series so much, especially your retrospect as well!!

Get 'er done mate, it's a good time!
@@MayorHairBear I’ll certainly try 😊
I hope that, whenever you do the third game, you give us the God Garrus build :D It helps quite a lot of the insanity difficulty !
Imma put this on a playlist. Haven't played the games… Yet.
Totally get it mate!
I love this series I’ve played this game so many times
It's incredible!
Yo bear I highly recommend you platinum bulletstorm
I consider it to be one of the “most video game” video games
already on the wheel i also commented it last platinum vid and it is indeed one of the video games of all time
Ashley is an infinitely more interesting and complex character. Kaiden is probably top 3 most boring Mass Effect Characters, behind the reporter and the swoll dude in ME3.
So, when are 2, 3 and andromeda happening?
Babe, wake up! There’s a new MayorHairBear video!
Legend, thank you!
As always great video, really enjoy watching you content.
Any idea if/when you will be doing the rest of the Bioshock games?
Thank you mate! The next BioShock video will get going once I've settled into the new place. I don't want to stop start that one!
@@MayorHairBear ideal hope the move went well and looking forward to it.
I broke my playthrough down into 2 runs. A normal diff Paragon 100% the content run... loved it. Working on my renegade Insanity run now, 1 is done but 2 is slowing me down XD Still love it thou
Absolutely want 2 and 3 next!
Such a great way to connect with viewers my game is (Horizon Forbidden West)
I did a casual playthrough and then used new game plus to do insanity with top level Spectre gear
Smart move!
I always go through on easy first to get all misc trophies and level up then NG+ on the hardest difficulty
ME1 is my fav in the main trilogy. From gameplay to story I thought everything was great. Yes I even liked the Mako missions. 😅😂
If I somehow find a mass effect friend who can help me play the game for the first ever time then I shall
Oh trust me my man the Mako in the non-legendary edition was far FAR worse! They really updated it for the legendary edition.
Yeah I thought so 😂
You should try to go for the A Night in the Woods platinum!
Looks really interesting, I'll add it now!
Shadow of the colossus game platinum video
If I don't see an INTENSE makeout session with Garrus by halfway through this thing, I'm reporting the video! 😂❤
No Garrus love making in the original, only heterosexual relationships in the first game 😂
Dragons Dogma: Dark arisan. The game has absoluty awesome combat and an interesting pawn system.
I've got the mass effect 1 platinum and i'm set on getting 2 and 3
I can't wait to get 2 and 3 done next!
Hell yeah I already got the platinum trophy of mass effect trilogy is amazing and easy well if your not playing on the ultimate difficulty
Truly incredible and not too hard for playing on the hardest difficulty!
You should add dishonored 2 to the wheel i think u would like it
If you let Kaiden die, the first Saren fight is actually pretty easy. I only died a couple times
One of the games I would love to pay but just don't have the time. Main reason being trying to keep up with FF and we got mabey 2 more coming.
Totally get it mate, I recommend keeping it in mind but I know how that backlog is!
Loving the series! Please can you put disco elysium on the wheel
The Vehicle was a lot more janky in the original version they adjusted the physics of the vehicle for the legendary edition
Is your platinum wheel available to the public I want some ideas to add to my personal wheel
It is yeah, if you go to the BioShock video there's a link near the top of the description to play for yourself!
Rest of series when
Would you put Enter The Gungeon on the wheel?
I believe it is already on their my friend!
Does anyone have any advice for a Soldier clas for Insanity ME2, I heard warp ammo is a must have, but I need advice
Best squadmates, I found are Miranda and Kasumi. Miranda as she has Warp and Overload to help with shields and barriers but Kasumi's grenade ability stuns enemies and stops them moving. Essential against Harbinger. Upgrade it to max and it's ultimate cheese. With ammo, I went armor piercing.
Yakuza like a dragon
i just finished playing this😂😂
U should put the first injustice game on the wheel
I believe Injustice is on there
Mate how can you play without default Shepard appearance?😂,but great video nonetheless as always
I regretted it almost instantly mate 😂
I'm not much into Sci-FI but I decided to finally give it a try last December. Did a full 100% playthrough of the whole collection. ME: LE shows how achievements should be made. None of them felt tedious and majority of them are unlocked by just playing and exploring. The story is definitely excellent, as well as the characters. Everything else was kinda mid imo.

4200 hours 💀
Could you put Monster Hunter rise/sunbreak or monster Hunter world/iceborne on the board?
Absolutely mate!
You should try Wolfenstein the new colossus I think it would be a challenge for you
Yeah Wolfenstein 2 would be a tough one!
I would like to see the hunter: call of the wild, I feel like it could give a mix up compared to the things you’ve played
Hunter is on the wheel, that'd be an interesting one to cover!
People who change the default male shep make me uncomfy. They always look like melted clay men. Mark Vanderloo did not look so damn hot in those reference pics for people to change his beautiful face! (great vid btw glad someone else has this plat on youtube. I have all 3 and the insanity trophies and theyre lovely)
I'll be honest, within the first hour I regretted my decision 😂
Idk if its on there already but please do Jak X: Combat Racing
Jak X is on the wheel, would be a blast!
Game is a masterpiece ... Trophees are just trophees
They certainly toned this down from the PS3 version, which I did a couple years ago.
Recommendation
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
I like it!
Do Mass Effect 2 soon!
You should platinum Bus Simulator 21
Sounds like fun!
Insanity isn't hard in this game. Only part that annoyed me was when the stalkers was introduced.
Yeah it's not too bad
Batman trilogy, idk if it’s on the list
A lot of people hunting for trophies/achievements who stay loyal to Liara in ME2, get mad for not unlocking Paramour 2 (since her romance in Lair Of The Shadow Broker doesn't count for some reason). So here I have the perfect solution called... *Throwaway A$sh0le Shepard* (BEWARE OF SPOILERS BELOW)

You should try the platimun for fortnite 😊 also love your content❤
Maybe one day 😂
Fair enough 😅
Wow.. how didnt the game mess your trophies up. I got 2 Glitched trophies cant get the game platinum because of that.
Ah damn mate, that sucks! What ones bugged for you?
Man you GOTTA play borderlands
Borderlands would be a fun one!
@@MayorHairBear trust me borderlands is one of the best games of all time
do silent hill 2!!
Please platinum saw the video game
That's a good one!
Dragon age
Put fortnite's platinum on your brutal wheel trust me it's probably alot harder than you think
Oh I know it is, looks like an absolute pain!
@@MayorHairBear yeah that's why I suggested it
Mannn I get not liking Ashley in the first game but her arch over the series is so much more interesting imo. Kaiden is so boring.
I don't need Kaiden to be interesting, I just need him to not be Ashley 😂 I've got plenty of other storylines and archs for characters to enjoy

Do need for speed unbound please
I'll add it now mate!
Still asking for Call of Duty Black Ops 4
please add (original) san andreas
Stranglehold!
Why you would choose kaidan over Ashley is beyond me. I don’t think kaidan is very useful.
