AHHHHH WHAT A START TO A GAME!! I can't wait to see where this adventure leads, Commanders o7
Well, you started Fallout New Vegas being killed too!
Why be suspicious of Martin Sheen?
You should check the armor locker calmly. The customation is way bigger than ME1.
just 2 tips for some funny moments, wait after every mission behind joker and fly to Sol and send a probe down to Uranus ^^
It absolutely blew my mind back when it came out. I was shocked.
I love how every player feels more comfortable with the situation once we meet one of our old squad, especially when it's Tali.
A familiar face is so nice after being dead for 2 years and waking up surrounded by strangers in a terrorist organization's lab ☺
Of course, it’s freakin Tali, best companion
@@basicwitgirl or in Tali's case a familiar helmet visor 🤣😂
Fuckin facts to the maxx. Def my favorite but gameplay in 3 better but 2s story better then 3 but 1 has the best story but obviously older gameplay wise. Glad you found these gems.
Oh everything above just my humble yet I will say knowledgeable opinion.
@@basicwitgirl
A lot of people assumed when the first trailer came out, they thought the Normandy being destroyed was part of the 'bad ending' of the game, or some event that happened late. Not right from the get go.
Glad to have you woth us, commander. Looking forward to your reactions 😊
Rachni flashback interrupted by a Petco ad...I can't 🤣
HAHAHA OH MY GOSH 😂
Rachni being melted *Petco ad insert* do you love pets? Here at Petco, we have all your pets needs *ad disappears, goes back to Basique melting the rachni* 🤦♂️😂🤣😂
6:19- Pretty sure I've never seen anyone get THIS excited for Kaidan... (but they should)! 😂
Avoid spoilers especially for ME2 and ME3. The best part of your play-through is that it is played for the first time !!
This! This! This!
Also, to anyone who posts spoilers: may your crotch become infected with beetles.
Would you consider it a spoiler to say "if you want to do side missions, do them before __ as you won't be able to go back" and things like that? Cause me personally I wanted to do all the side stuff so I was really glad for info like that because it honestly would've made me really bummed out if I would've locked myself in and not been able to.
@@chateauarusiI can’t believe Darth Vader was Commander Shepherds father
Its such a joy to find a Kaidan enthusiasts.
As a Kaidan no1 fan i romanced Kaidan for the whole trilogy every time i play. I never regret that
So glad you found the playthrough! If You haven’t already, check out lucyjrobyn’s playthrough as well! She’s also a Kaidanmancer and absolutely lovely!
I love watching first timers experience the opening sequence of this game. Basic your reaction was priceless. I eagerly await the rest of this play through. Hint, you are in for a wild ride.
Ahhhh my adrenaline was pumping ALL NIGHT afterwards!! Such a fantastic intro and I'm wildly invested on how it all goes!!
Yeah seeing that never gets old 😂😂😂!
*exposition dialogue*
Basic: *HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ABOUT KAIDAN?*
he is my whole world☺
Love the "TWO YEARS?!!" bit. Made me laugh. 🤣
"Kaiden is just to your tastes. Vanilla, to be precise". as Lae'zel would say 😂🤣
All teasing aside, you're going to love this game Basic! ME2 is my fave in the series by far.
VANILLA IS A DELICIOUS FLAVOR AND ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE😂
Being a sweeeeaty ME fan, watching you experience everything for the first time makes my heart so happy😁 you have soooo many twists amd turns and fun headed your way and im so excited to watch it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do...and bring a box of tissues😂
30:19 The "does Kaidan know I'm okay" was literally me every 5 minutes 😅
The “TWO YEAAARSSS?!” Got me every time
TWO YEARS😩
@@basicwitgirl so where did the 2 years shout come from? It was from another game bc it was a different look and everything..
@@Pheylan Cyberpunk 2077 DLC!
@@basicwitgirl ahhh ok makes sense now. Thank you for that!
Talk about an intro that blows you away!
Bruh
First Joker ruins the mood with Kaidan twice, now he gets you killed smh
Joker TRULY becoming a thorn in my side.... 😂
But it’s Kaidan, so who cares? ;)
Sorry, just had to say that, it’s just a joke.
You have a Mass Effect on my heart. Ba-boom tshh.
I CRY😍
38:20 "I had a 'top' lieutenant once." - Yeah, we see you mostly-maintaining composure through the rest of Jacob's line while holding this quip back.
Hehehehe idk what you are talking about😇
honestly just the opening shows how strong Commander Shepard is. to "die" in the most horrific way possible. yeah she's brought back as we all see here but anyone else would have major trauma from that. perhaps wouldn't even be functioning at all. meaning they basically still dead in a way that way. Shepard? ready to fight still she is. well not 100% but still
I finished watching your ME1 play through just in time!!
NOW THAT'S TIME MANAGEMENT!
We stan Kaidan in this Normandy. That intro still puts a tear in my eye, one of many sequences that do in ME. What a fantastic experience! I look forward to seeing more of your stuff!
Great start Basic! I'm so excited to see you play this. You've already mastered the single most important part of Mass Effect 2, which of course is giving all the symbols in the hacking minigame cute nicknames. 🤣All kidding aside you did great and I'm glad you switched to a class that will suit your play style.
Gotta get the brain focused and firing on all cylinders 😂
So pumped to binge all of these while at work. Youre a gem!
I really enjoyed your ME1 play through and I was so hyped when I saw this pop up on my feed. ME 1 set a strong foundation of building this amusement park ride and ME2 is like getting in the car and pulling the lever. Can’t wait to see how things progress and knowing how much attention and care you put into ME1 I know you’ll do fantastic in 2. The stakes are a bit higher in this game but you’re going to crush it! Can’t wait for next episode!
I'm addicted already!! So fantastic from the start I find myself constantly wanting to play more!
@@benschultz1784 no no I left Ashley on Virmire, I romanced Kaidan!
@@benschultz1784 ok Doofenshmirtz 😂
27:24 the mass effect 2 eyebrow massacre strikes again 😂
I originally missed ME1 ,despite many of the gamers I knew saying I should play it. A friend of mine obtained a hooky version of ME2 and sent it my way. I loved it so much I went and bought both the games and the available dlc. Going through 2 again, this time with an imported ME1 save, transformed 2. As good as it had been from a vanilla start, the sudden extra storyline and callbacks to 1 were such a great addition. So glad you're enjoying one of my favourite series, Basic!
Rubs hands together..Oh goody, here we go again! Awesome start thanks so much Bw🙂 Strap in and prepare that speed dial you promised! You're going to love this one!!
a game playing tip: do not worry about paragon vs. renegade choices so much when you get the prompt to take some action in the dialogue. some of the renegade choices have rather amusing cut scenes and can have a positive effect in some combat that comes shortly after....most of your choices will be paragon, but the ones you make as renegade choices won't detract from your paragon score....you will continue to get paragon points in the basic dialog choices you make, as well as an occasional renegade point
Your reaction to the opening was exactly on point..jaw dropping! ME2 is incredible and my favorite ME game in the series, for many reasons. One being that stellar intro!
New 2 year sub alert sound: basic saying 2 yeeeaaars?!
if I had a nickel for everytime a video game knocked me out for 2 years I'd have 2 nickels...which isn't a lot, but crazy that it happened twice😂
Awww the look on your face when the Normandy pulled in!!! Priceless!
Just finished watching the intro. Game over, on to ME3, lol. Best intro to any game i have ever played. And Taylor's first edit had me ROFL. It's going to be a wild ride with Basic Shep and i am here for it!
Taylor always there to remind me of my misdeeds 😂
You can map individual squad powers to the numbers on your keyboard. Makes combat very fluid w/o having to pause.
ME2 has one of the best openings! I was spoiled and it still blew me away. So looking forward to your playthrough of this one .
Mass Effect trilogy is the best in gaming and ME2 is my favorite of the franchise 🧡😍. The intro is still mindblowing and there is so many epic moments 🔥!
I loved your reaction to this ❤. I definitely had to sub and watch more from you 😁!
Maaate as much as I have enjoyed watching your ME1 playthrough I have been waiting for this moment and you absolutely did not disappoint.
Everything levels up from
Here, not just the graphics
Some hints for you
Definitely do the Mordin mission asap as that helps with Upgrades, and speaking of which ask squad members for Upgrades for the Normandy
Your health and shields will regenerate automatically just go to cover
Scan and Probe every planet even in the Local cluster as this is vital for upgrades and lots of hidden finds.
The Paragon and Renegade options happen a lot so be ready to click.
Eavesdropping on conversations is always a good idea
You have a little more weapon options available to you so look into the armoury and even the mission loadout screen for you and your squad as some weapons do way more damage than others even if their fire rate isn’t as high.
Looking forward to seeing your playthroughs as this is absolutely my favorite in the series and hits sooo hard.
😊
It’s good to be back
ME2: Are you sure about that?
narrator: she was in fact NOT back
Lol, truth. ME 2 definitely makes you work for it (especially finding specific characters)
makes me wanna replay the trilogy again even after i replayed the game 3 times lol
Absolutely love the cast in these games! Already we've seen Martin Sheen as The Illusive Man and Yvonne Strahovsky as Miranda (in a rare case where she gets to use her actual Australian accent). In addition to the already great cast from the first game like Seth Green as Joker and Raphael Sbarge as Kaidan. They could easily cast a show or movie of this series and just have many of the voice actors play their own characters 😂
Just wait until Space Gale shows up as a companion
White man, dark hair, implant that causes him pain, exceptional capabilities in his field of expertise? yeah he was in ME1....his name is Kaidan Alenko
@@basicwitgirl I'm not sure Kaidan is supposed to be white (IIRC his face model was a latino man) but he is basically space Gale 😂
It makes my ME heart so happy to see how much you love this game. Its so good. Been loving your reactions.
Rockstar I am ADDICTED!! I love it so much😭
I’ve been waiting for this I’m so excited this is one of my favorite games ever
I love your reactions!! Keep playing!!
I love your editing style!
I can't wait to see what armor design you choose.
I have an absolutely fantastic editor!! Our humor is extremely similar and bc of that we work very well together 😂
so excited for this new adventure!
I'm amazed the intro of this game was never spoiled for you. It was huge when the game first came out.
I wasn't really paying attention to gaming when it came out in 2010! So luckily the hype and spoilers completely missed me!
What a joy to watch !!! The brutal opening , to the rebirth to Tali Joker and the awesome music revealing the new Normandy. Enjoy the ME2 adventure Commander . P.S the new Shep looks even better xo
Thank you for watching!! o7
Such an awesome and shocking opener. It hit so hard to see an imported character go through that!
I love watching newcomers reacting to this. Even if ME2 is my least fave, this beginning is SPECTACULAR ❤ I love the "TWO YEARS?!?!" edit😂😂😂 Your videos always bring a smile to my face ❤
Awwh I'm so happy to hear that!! Thank you for watching!! 💖
That "Shepard's dead" reaction was priceless and better than the actual scene itself lol.
You most likely would like this game because of some celebrites is in it like Martin Sheen who voiced the Illusive man and the woman (forgot her name but she played in Chuck) voiced Miranda and provided her likeness.
Yvonne Strahovski.
@@maximyudin32 right. That's her name.
Yvonne Strahovski, who is Miranda's voice actor, played the character Hannah in the DEXTER series on Showtime
Oh such fun! The queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach when you realize you are working with Cerberus and it looks like you really have no other option if you want to continue protecting the galaxy. Besides Joker seems happy so they must be okay? right? ME2 throwing everything at you but the kitchen sink when all you really want to know is "where is my sweet boy!". Mass Effect writers are sadists I tell you! 😱
PLEASE JUST LET ME EMAIL KAIDAN TO LET HIM KNOW I AM ALIVE 😩
“My body is mostly intact”
> Literally every single bone is shattered to pieces
doing the comic sets what happens in ME1, if you import you do not do the comic, but it looks like it does the recap if you import
Watching everyone have the same reaction to the prologue is really funny. Such a good game.
Commander Sheppard having flashbacks to past actions is just fantastic. "Well, Basique - have the Rachni stopped screaming?"
Greetings BasicWitGirl! Amazingly... so few Players make the connection that the Comic is literally Shepard's life flashing before her eyes as she asphyxiates in space. You are in for a wild ride as you make your way through this fantastic and iconic Trilogy... and become a part of the ever-growing collective Zeitgeist forever marked by this game. An emotionally investing roller-coaster ride well worth the price of admission! 🤟🤯
P.S.... you say you never heard of the Rachni, but I don't see how as the Krogan gained their fame (and later infamy) having fought them on behalf of the Salarians & Turians? 🧐
Enjoy your playthrough... this game will stay with you long after you've put down your controller/mouse! ✌😎
For your next ME1 playthru… the orig Normandy does have an armory, it’s right next to Ash, you can equip every teammates gear there … then mark all the stuff you won’t use to either sell or convert to omnigel. On PC the little trash can icon on each item is very hard to see for some reason. This was a new feature added to the legendary position. Gear and weapons are much simplified in ME2. Also, since I’m caught up with all your ME videos so far I have to wait each week. Torture! 😉
ah the first time i played ME2 i instantly fell in love with that game and it has some of the coolest dlc in gaming and on top of the it has some of the best storytelling i have seen in a game, i will never forget the first time playing ME2
Halfway through this video, I realized it'll be best to watch your Mass Effect 1 playthrough first. Especially since you chose Kaidan. Subbed.
Welcome aboard! Heads up, ep 1 is shaky gameplay quality…but all is fixed starting ep 2!🫡
"Kaidan, I'm rebuilding our bank account" ...Mega LoL
our retirement fund 😭
Hahaha when the rachni part comes up lmao 😂😂😂
what rachni 😇
Watching your response to an old favorite. Put the itch back in me. Time to replay the trilogy. One of my favs!
A replay is ALWAYS a good idea!! 🫡
YOU KEPT GOING, LET'S GOOOOOOOO 💪😤
That is the start you’d never expect
BY FAR!!! the best opening in a video game EVER!
Your play troughs are so much fun to watch
thank you for watching!!
Nice to see that you were prepared. >
2 things you NEED to know before going forward!
Credits are hard to come by in this game! Spend it wisely.
Complete as much of the story/side missions and get as many upgrades as possible BEFORE! starting the "Reaper IFF" mission..
This game has a hidden in-game timer that starts when you start that particular mission. You'll want to do it that way for reasons....
I wrote down my predictions on your favorite characters, but ofc. can't share it yet to avoid spoilers so it'll have to wait till the end. Here's to another adventure!
8:13 the Normandy’s got a new sun roof :)
Welcome to Mass Effect 2! Enjoy the ride!
IPS - I'm not sure if you're aware, but Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan's voice actor) is available for personal video messages through a service called Cameo. He is one of the sweetest, kindest celebrities I have ever met. I have a yearly tradition of having a video made for my birthday. This year will be my sixth. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰)
Ahh that's awesome!! I love cameo! I've been incredibly lucky to have a few gifted to me by community members from Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) and Tim Downie (Gale of Waterdeep)! May have to add my space husband to the collection!
And thank you for letting me know that Mr. Downie is on Cameo - much appreciated! 🤩
Just to let you know, the choices you have available are there based on "You never played the first game" and "you have played the first game" with a choice or two thrown in for good measure. That's why you get some responses that don't make sense when talking to an old friend.
First of all, it is SO NICE to find another streamer who also romances Kaidan 🥺🥺 Second, you reacted the exact same as I did when I first played this game 😅
Joker steered into a beam...so dumb haha. The Normandy is super nimble, but he just weaved back and forth.
Kaidan got promoted! He is probably heading some task force in charge of researching strategic Canadian lake house defenses...
WOW I SHOULD JOIN HIM, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FUN TIME 🥹
You're rushing this. Please stop that. You'll be glad you did. You're missing out on things. Slow down a bit. Enjoy the ride. Listen to the story. Your choices matter. Remember that. Take your time. Choose wisely. Most importantly, have fun.
Peace, love and light, Earthling. ;-)
Could you imagine if that intro was the ending of the first game? What a cliffhanger that would have been.
I would have LOST my mind 😥
Watching through again in prep for Mass Effect 3!!!
@@DaniBoBani09 SUCH DEDICATION!!🥹🫡
Bioware "Are you a speed reader? Well that's the first thing you're going to find out if you buy our game"
Got my therapists on speed-dial. Better start dialing.
oh no...
My God this is just to damn funny to watch.
*TWO YEARS!?!?* 😦😦😦
8:11 You're in zero-gravity environment, what with the gaping hole in the hull. Meaning Shepard had to activate her magnetic boots to keep herself stuck to the floor and not floating away, that's why it's a slow and careful walk 😀
36:17 The feeling you know kaidan would move on if he thinks you were dead for 2 years 😂
No I think he’d be so sad he would throw himself into his work and never love again😭
Next episode tomorrow, yes please?
MONDAY😈
MAKE SURE to edit or have someone that know how to, the Conrad BUG with a savegame editor, like the Trilogy Save Editor
Vanguard was beefed up so much from ME1 to ME2^^. Not to mention that the class is crazy overpowerd in ME3 to an almost ridiculous level.
Cannot wait for you to meet Mordin. And Archangel.
ME2 is a masterpiece and holds up very well after 14 years.
Enjoyed your start to ME2. Would suggest that you use your own an your teammates powers by your choice and not do it via the game choosing when they get used. Biotic combos are powerful if used together. A singularity that grabs a group of enemies will explode if you hit it with incinerate, overload, or other powers causing damage or deaths to those close to the explosion. Your 2 years was hilarious
the vanguard is pretty cool in ME2, the shockwave skill especialy in the lower difficultys. with that u just throw husks and other smallfry throught the room like no tomorrow. which is pretty usefull in many sections of the game. such a shame that they changed the skill in ME3.
You might be the only person I know to not kill Kaiden. 🤣
REALLY??? besides me obviously googly eyes I make at him, he seems like the better choice from a capabilities stand point as well, right??
I have killed Ashley so many times I actually did another run just to see what happens when she lives 🤪
Ain’t gonna lie but this is a very good feeling video
The trilogy is a masterpiece. This one is generally considered peoples favorite. It has nod(s) to a certain movie classic, if you've seen said classic you'll pick them up straight away. If you've not, then I'll tell you on your final stream of this game. Not exactly a spoiler, but it is something of an "Oh s**t, REALLY?!" kinda thing. Enjoy. Just like the 1st game your decisions carry over to the 3rd game, so be sure to save on your final day. Quicksaves, save asses.
I played ME2 itself 7 times and the whole series about 5 times.... I had NO idea there was a fully voiced recap! I always played them back to back so I always skipped it!
wow I am also so so nervous to seeee ... what will happen 😊
Mass Effect 2 has one of the greatest intro in gaming
For some reason I found that the Bioware games always had a default romance interest no matter whom the player chooses. I mean For Mass Effect it seems that the game is ion Favor of a Liara Romance; and for Dragon Age they seem to want the player to choose Liliandra. Both characters have the easiest Romance options and it's there by default. You have to really put in the work to romance most of the others.
gasp, a Kaidanmancer, taste! (Likes, subscribes, sends an edible arrangement)
AN EDIBLE ARRANGEMENT?! Oh now we’re talkin! (I love that cutie lil canadian boy so much🥰)
You'll see a lot of familiar faces in ME2. They won't all join you, and you won't meet them all right away. But ME2 has a (mostly) awesome crew, give them a chance.
