Zaeed was genuinely a breath of fresh air in ME2: the average conversation with the Normandy crew revolved around morals, Cerberus' good stuff, Cerberus' bad stuff, the threat of the collectors and so on. Zaeed was like “you pay me, I help you, end of the story” it's good to have simple but fleshed out characters in games like this: it makes clear that the galaxy isn’t just black and white.
This game definitely looks made of “art station sci-fi concept portfolios” put together Understandable if it’s a small team though, I respect the ambition
I commented this same thing on the last video and some douche was like "You must be a child, because I've heard of every shovelware game he plays" and I thought that was really funny
You know what? Props to the devs for their ambition. They clearly worked hard on this, and I applaud their effort. I mean, it will probably be all for naught, but still. I hope the next project is a smashing success!
@@awraithssoul2527heres how I see it why the hell would you trust the ai that is the reapers? Levithians wouldn't have been destroyed if they didn't kill them also funnily wnough the geth being friendly nullifies the point of ai destroying organics the control ending is better but I'm just not a fan of it destroy makes the most sense
James Vega is actually a pretty funny meathead guy that radiates himbo energy. I love it when you tell him to hack the geth turrets and he proceeded to kick it. Also I completed his pull up mini game twice. Zaeed is also hilarious because his stories are just him going in with a team and being the only one to escape alive. Guess what happen during the suicide mission if you pick him to lead the second team. Speaking of which I love that you fell for the Thane in vent thing. He is much cooler in ME3 when he saved you and the Salarian ambassador but then died and it's the saddest death. Also is Morinth technically Billie Eilish since Samara is voiced by her mom?
KOTOR list is solid but with one nitpick: Atton Rand is easy A-Tier for me. Great character and backstory making him a nice twist on the Han Solo/Rogue archetype. Also Carth Onasi/Kaiden isn't that bad, I like them and their voice actor.
@@Hugsloth I saved him because I hated Ashley and I was playing soldier Shepard so I needed a Biotic, plus he was there from the start. He's the definition of milquetoast but he wasn't annoying like Ashley.
I salute Oboe for making B- and C-list games work for him. Me, back when I was still drawing a game reviewer paycheck, I tried to train myself to steer clear of these stinkers, especially when no one in their right mind would read a text review of CHORUS or The Chant.
>Be G0-TO >Be an anti-droid specialist >Can only join after you've beaten most of the droids in the game Also Atton and Visas should be at least B. Bao-Dur can stay in C because his VA should be in the same room as the mic next time.
@@faresfares-ultra oboeshoes said he'd play it if we liked a video a while back n now I am going to have to insist that he play it. A verbal contract was formed!
Fun fact: that exact same shoot through wall trick caused by 3rd person camera wonkiness worked in mass effect 1 and is what carried me through a lot of the final level
Oboe's talk of Lego Team Alpha reminded me of the old online Lego flash games on the official Lego website. Anyone else remember the Lego Agents one?? I loved that one! Edit: Or the Lego Indiana Jones one where you had to run away from the boulder by jumping, sliding and swinging with your whip.
"Well they've given me no reason to kill them and they're trying to cure a space plague, *but killing them all would be way funnier so lets go with that*" absolute gold
Or you can get the happy ending mod and actually have a good ending. Also get the citadel epilogue mod! Edit: Personally, I’d put Ashley at B tier. I think she gets a decent arc but because she’s out so much in Mass Effect 2, it’s not as fleshed out as it could be. Also would put Tali at A Tier. Agree with the rest though.
I would have taken the most soul wrenchingly foul dumps in every cabinet in your house if you put Mordin in any tier but S tier. You’re safe, this time
Had the exact same thing happen to me with Thane! I thought dude would be a master in those air ducts... The shock and sadness when he got blasted in the face. 😢
Never heard of this channel and was suggested this video b/c algorithm. Subbed. This is gold, the tier list had me in tears. edit: 2:37 - I haven't laughed this hard in a while, lmfao where's the F tier hahaha
Samaras arc in a nutshell: *yeah I'm a bad guy, especially sending my lesbian gf almost to her death, so if you miss this skill check, I'm killing myself*
Funny thing: when mass effect 3 come out, an italian game journal had an interview with one of the developers. They explained that the ending has inverted colors: Destruction even if it's red, it's the right choice. control is the bad one. the idea was that the color inversion was to indoctrinate the player into making the wrong choice, like the reaper indoctrination.
30 Seconds in, and I already see the same space alien-armadillos that I can find in Empyrion: Galactic Survival. Truly, we're looking a quality experience here.
Ashley at least has character development, Kaiden is just like "hurr durr my school days were reall traumatic and my head hurts durr" and that's it. He does have the superior bonus power of you save him for ME3
Every video I think there's no way he can fit a Star Wars IX text crawl joke in there and every time I'm proven wrong. Also since the release of the remaster all Mass Effect dlc is free so Javik can go up to S tier
clorophyl does have to be green on a planet with a yellow sun (which that planet either has based on the lighting or the fact that the plants are green)
Dude didn’t even know who Zaeed was and he still got S tier.
Such is the badassery of Zaeed.
Zaeed Masani never takes a L
Lol that got me too. "I don't remember him" Instant S tier.
Zaeed was cool tho. Very angry, would save the galaxy with him again.
Zaeed “Lets be goddamn fucking heroes”
Zaeed was genuinely a breath of fresh air in ME2: the average conversation with the Normandy crew revolved around morals, Cerberus' good stuff, Cerberus' bad stuff, the threat of the collectors and so on.

@@allopic3764Grunt and Wrex was great in their respective games
I like that you spent 30% of the total video time rating characters from not the game you are playing 🤣
You'd almost think that was intentional!
It was much more interesting than the gameplay.
You watched the video too??
It’s called ADHD.
and that was the best part of the video
The protagonist is just Nova from StarCraft. There's no way they did it by accident, they even named her Nora.
Came looking for this comment lmao. Also some of the unnamed NPCs are listed as "Nova Troopers" down in the subtitles lmfao.
THE DEAD SPEAKS always manages to catch me by surprise, i somehow never see it coming
The best reoccurring gag on the channel for sure
⅓ of this video is ranking Mass Effect side kicks. And it was more entertaining than the game...
This game definitely looks made of “art station sci-fi concept portfolios” put together
Understandable if it’s a small team though, I respect the ambition
I was going to say it looks AI generated but that would be too mean
@@0uttaS1TE
I mean, most AI art generators just use Artstation portfolios sooo
@@sneedclavehere8918 Which makes me rather _annoyed_
This is not worth $24.99.
There is definitely a genre of games made specifically for Oboe
Yeah, it's called oboeshoes games!
Dolmen-like
"the game ever made"
Oboe is keeping Koch Media afloat
7th gen-like
Oboe always finds the most unknown games
And im all for it

I don't. I'd much rather it be a moderate success.
@@sabastianheinle9095 I mean Greedfall is getting a sequel and that game is in the dictionary next to mediocre and yes I am looking forward to it.
"EmERGency-inDuction-porTT."
Tali S tier.
Oboe's gone renegade.

Props for correctly guessing that Zaeed is S-tier
Guess that makes Oboe a real goddam hero
S for shit ? I can't really remember what exactly happened but I left him behind on his loyalty mission. Dude was a jerk.
@@Gatorade69 If you put him in his place he ends up much cooler in ME3
@@Gatorade69 cringe
"They pay me to shoot at the guy not kill 'em" is the most honest video game and move phrase ever.
I really hope the Dolmen meme never dies.
"I don't even remember this guy, who is this guy" **still puts Zaeed in S tier** love that he at least ranked him right
LMAO i love how this video is just 80% mass effect tier list
I was like wait a minute 😂

“Last and definitely least” *Sticks Zaeed in S tier* lmfao
Im fairly certain there is an editing error in this video because there is no way Tali is anything but S tier.
"Destroy is the only correct answer to the mass effect ending"
No no, he's got a point
That twilek sith lady on korriban that helped you get the gilded lightsaber should've been a recruitable npc, she was so based.

Who would win, a rogue supersoldier who is more tech and biotics than man or a barely alive middle-aged lizard with chainsmoker lungs?
KOTOR list is solid but with one nitpick: Atton Rand is easy A-Tier for me. Great character and backstory making him a nice twist on the Han Solo/Rogue archetype. Also Carth Onasi/Kaiden isn't that bad, I like them and their voice actor.
Juhani and Mission are S

The only thing you missed on the KOTOR tier list was Trask in S tier
Trask is hilarious because he could've just been Carth but he's a different guy who's the same guy but dies for no reason.

Now that a game i never heard from a long time
@@faresfares-ultra oboeshoes said he'd play it if we liked a video a while back n now I am going to have to insist that he play it. A verbal contract was formed!
Good sign when the first creature that shows up is an asset I've seen in other games

I found this channel 2 hours ago.... I just can't stop! Keep up the good work!!!
3 things to expect when watching Oboeshoesgames
1- Mass Effect
2- Bionicle
3- Dolmen
Oboe's talk of Lego Team Alpha reminded me of the old online Lego flash games on the official Lego website. Anyone else remember the Lego Agents one?? I loved that one!
Edit: Or the Lego Indiana Jones one where you had to run away from the boulder by jumping, sliding and swinging with your whip.
Used to love playing those games in primary school, the Lego indiana jones one was hard ngl
At this point I'm convinced this man has played every game that exists.
Oboe I hope you see this. Thank you for the videos. Have a great day man, you are much appreciated.
I would watch the hell out of a Mass Effect video.
3:36 Oboe you nerd, you don’t get away with an obscure TNG reference on my watch!
"Well they've given me no reason to kill them and they're trying to cure a space plague, *but killing them all would be way funnier so lets go with that*" absolute gold
I have to thank Oboe for finding the most obscure games and just showing them to us
Shooting through the wall is also how you beat the early Uncharted games on Crushing.
Destroy kills Legion who is now part of the Geth as a whole, I will not kill Legion, thus Destruction is objectively wrong.
Man Everreach runs like she has to take a dump
Or you can get the happy ending mod and actually have a good ending. Also get the citadel epilogue mod!
Edit:
Personally, I’d put Ashley at B tier. I think she gets a decent arc but because she’s out so much in Mass Effect 2, it’s not as fleshed out as it could be. Also would put Tali at A Tier. Agree with the rest though.
Doesn't feel like a coincidence having Legion's VA, DC Douglas, in this game
Mass Effect companion tiers goes S: Garrus, Wrex, Grunt, Thane, Moradin, Javik, Legion, Jack
A: Kasumi, Samara, Ede, Tali, Zaeed
B: Liara
C: Jacob, Miranda, James, Kaiden
E:
F:
Ashley: Ashley
Ashley is the worst I always make sure to abandon her in the first game
Kaiden & Liara don't deserve that bro
I really don’t get the hate for Ash and Kaiden. I enjoyed every squadmate some more than others of course but I enjoyed them all nonetheless.
@@unionblue21 Kaidens ok, he's just abit, dull, Ash, however, is juat a bad character who is also xenophobic to boot.
@@unionblue21 Kaiden is about as interesting as watching paint dry. Still would rather do that then have to put up with Ashley.
Guys, its only $2.50 on Steam. They listened.
I bought it😂😂😂.
@@spider496 same honestly lol. With that price, easily.
I'd like to point out that Science Lady looks like Nova from Starcraft.
the fact starcraft ghost never got made really sucks
Explains the nuclear strike at the end, lol
2 minutes into the first one of your videos I've ever watched, and you're doing my favorite mass effect friendos dirty,
Also, I LOVE the little borderlands 2 "Corrosion!" you slipped in there, haha
oboeshoes sounds like caleb from podcast about list
I would have taken the most soul wrenchingly foul dumps in every cabinet in your house if you put Mordin in any tier but S tier.
You’re safe, this time
Surely now the Mass Effect Legendary Edition includes all the dlc Javik is no longer an extra expense and is therefore S tier.
i like how just straight up a Dark One from metro appears at the end of the game
I've never agreed so hard to a tier list. My hat's off to you, sir.
I do agree with the mass effect tier list. It will be 90% identical if I made one
Had the exact same thing happen to me with Thane! I thought dude would be a master in those air ducts... The shock and sadness when he got blasted in the face. 😢
I was just thinking the other day that we haven't had a Corrosion! Joke in a while.
Dude me too!

Subbed. This is gold, the tier list had me in tears.
edit: 2:37 - I haven't laughed this hard in a while, lmfao where's the F tier hahaha
BRO I LOVE YOU FOR THAT TIERLIST
But jacob shouldn’t even be taken into account
Wait
Eradicate or let The Dark Ones go?
Ain't that literally the Metro 2033 ending?
Impromptu tier list was golden man 😂 love when you dork out on shit, very relatable
I haven’t thought about Lego Alpha Team in ages. Thanks for that.
Oboe has the same voice from 4 years ago yippee
Samaras arc in a nutshell:
*yeah I'm a bad guy, especially sending my lesbian gf almost to her death, so if you miss this skill check, I'm killing myself*
youve unlocked yet another repressed LEGO memory.. damn
RIP LEGO Alpha Team
0:57 I disagree with you, whatcha gonna do about it? 😈
Jack in b tier? Mad man she deserves a tier
No oboe you aren’t supposed to send thane through vent. You need to send Jacob
1. This opening area looks so much like the opening of Mass Effect 2. Those armadillo dogs look like the dogs from Satisfactory.
Your Kotor tier list absolutely checks out.
It's on sale currently on Ps4... around 3$
But I still don't know if I'll even give it my time.
Same, i saw trailer and it look interesting to play
“I am the very model of a scientist Solarian” 😂
Finally someone who understands destruction is the correct ending
You must have seen my comment on the last video thank you for not wasting anytime inserting a dead speak meme ❤️❤️
Your ME tier list is perfect.
Genuinely interested in seeing that alpha team playthrough
I love how your tier list had only alien characters in S and A tier. Though Tali deserved better
Funny thing: when mass effect 3 come out, an italian game journal had an interview with one of the developers.
They explained that the ending has inverted colors: Destruction even if it's red, it's the right choice.
control is the bad one. the idea was that the color inversion was to indoctrinate the player into making the wrong choice, like the reaper indoctrination.
lol i really wasn't expecting you to do the whole list of companions for Mass Effect
ill always remember a quote from a movie review, "if you are working on a limited budged, sci-fi is one of the last genres you should consider"
Damn. That space suit riding up so high that I'm unsure what the characters hair colour is. Real deer in the headlights moments.
I was more interested and invested in your opinions and ratings on the characters of Mass Effect than whatever else was in the video XD
I just want to say that I approve your KOTOR list, you can sleep calmly now!
Godam i love your random Bionicle comments in your videos
I will be waiting for that Lego Alpha Team video, Oboe
I can't believe Dolmen already got a sequel
Domen 2: Dolm Harder
30 Seconds in, and I already see the same space alien-armadillos that I can find in Empyrion: Galactic Survival. Truly, we're looking a quality experience here.
"I don't even remember this guy!"

Mass Effect: Eden Prime
Everreach: Project Eden
Someone needs to make a compilation of his Weezer and star wars references. I love them so much
Can't believe they got the actual voice actor for Albert Wesker in this
Suprised you didnt notice they took the optional genocide route at the end from Noveria with the Rachni
Holy cow I completely agree with your mass effect teir list
I couldn’t of done it better myself
Man really just pulled a tier list out of nowhere.
@1:42 Lmao I had the exact same thought process the first time I played it
I completely DISAGREE with Kaidan being in D-tier. In ME1 I upped his Electronics and Decryption to basically get free loot and MONEY
I lost Thane on my first run for the exact same reason plus in ME1 infiltrators were tech experts
the player character looks almost like Gem from tron legacy, and that's hot.
Thane, Garrus, and Wrex are my S-Tier boys for life ❤️.
clorophyl does have to be green on a planet with a yellow sun (which that planet either has based on the lighting or the fact that the plants are green)
Blue was to control Reapers, Red was to Destroy and Green was to synthesize!
Tali in B tier kinda hurts but the rest is perfect 👍
