Heck, most could. Though I love her, I don't see someone like Tali getting a game though, same with people like James, but the others? Totally! Garrus, an Omega game, possibly some flashbacks to C-Sec. Wrex, how he got his ideals, and his quest to save his race. Thane, going after those who killed his wife, with some flashbacks to Irika (if that's how you spell it). (Sorry for constantly saying "maybe with flashbacks".) However, they'd probably only do a few of these, most likely Garrus, and I'd so buy that! #BestAlienBro!
They talked about that - Mac Walters said that if he wanted to do a spin-off game for Mass Effect, it would be either an "L.A. Noire" type detective game with Garrus Vakarian, or a "Hitman/Dishonored" type game featuring Kai Leng. ... Please, God, don't let it be the latter one.
Smith Baran God, Kai Leng sucks so hard. Seriously, he was cool enough in the books (except for that last one, ugh) but in ME3 he just feels like a shitty ripoff of Raiden from MGS4. Even some of the poses he makes are ripped straight from MGS. And the way he acts is retarded as hell. "Shepard, you're so weak!" *Shepard proceeds to curbstomp him* "Argh, I'll have this gunship cover me while I recover" And then the email he sends you after Thessia is so childish. Seriously, he's supposed to be a professional assassin, but he acts like a 12 year old on xbox live. Also, everything about him makes me think of Poochy from the Simpsons. He's designed to be cool, by people who tried way too hard to make him seem cool.
"First Saren, now the Colectors...remind me never get on your bad side Shepard....i almost feel sorry for the Reapers". Garrus Vakarian....the best character in the Mass Effect Universe, period.
+BlackHellhound The best character in *any* universe, period. Webster needs to put his face next to "hero" in the English dictionary. And next to "calibration", of course!
Garrus Vakarian. True Mass Effect hero. We humans can only be honoured to be by his side. I romance him every bloody time. No Shepard without Vakarian. Best Garrus vid I've ever watched yet. Thank you so much for your talent. Now, I wish an ME game with only Garrus in his C-Sec days and as Knight of Omega. BRILLIANT VID!
Truly the best squadmember and the most perfect character in the game and deserving every admirations he gets . He really deserves to be honored with an own game in which his story is told to the little detail. The character and his story is a state of the art masterpiece and must not be let to die and vanish. I really hope that BioWare will do something on that matter.
I've had this video in my favorites for god knows how many years. Found it again funnily enough while playing through Legendary Edition. Still the best fan video ever made. It's been emotional
Every single time I watch a Mass Effect video, I always - ALWAYS - come across dialogue that I've not heard yet. It's amazing. This is a great video by the way, Garrus is a personal favourite!
I love the friendship that develops between Garrus and male Shepard. When you stop Garrus from killing Sidonis, the way Shepard tells him "Don't be too hard on yourself" is really comforting. Also in ME3 when they're sniping in the Citadel, "I'm Garrus Vakarian, and this is my favorite shop in the Citadel".
My backlog is way too damn big for me to consider playing these again, but dammit I just may now. Excellent use of Icarus here. I almost want some kind of Mass Effect/ Deus Ex crossover. Jensen wouldn't seem too out of place on the Citadel or something.
God damn this is so good. I watch it almost every day. I just love so much about the Garrus/Shepard dynamic, and Garrus himself. Its just.. so great how Turians and Humans have this tension between them ever since the contact war, and yet you couldn't find a more tight, inseparable camaraderie. Garrus is the ultimate wing man, and I could never NOT recruit him, ever. You did a superb job illustrating and paying tribute to such an amazing character.
Completed the entirety of the 1st instalment with him and wrex. 2nd one with him and grunt. And in the third game the Turian himslef returns and proceeds to kick ass alongside a prothean. How fucking awesome is that?
Wow dude, this honestly made me cry. Garrus is definitely one of my top favorite characters in this whole series, the dude just reeks of swag and you can't help but feel like he's one the guys. The kind of person you can sit down with, crack jokes while drinking a few cold ones and know and feel that life in itself is a beautiful thing. Especially when you have somebody like that with you as your best friend.
I think a series would offer more than a film could. Don’t have any intergalactic threats, just keep the scope centred around the characters and a smaller scale plot.
Garrus and Jack proved to be my kill em all squad. However on that last mission I figured He deserved to lead his own team cause I could absolutely count on him.
Well done, sir! You sifted through a lot of cinematic footage, cut it into ~3sec chunks, some of them from playthroughs where Garrus' model was hacked over Sheppard's, did some post-processing on some of the video, and assembled it all into a collection of awesome. I hope Bioware doesn't try to exhaust Garrus' character potential. I am happy to leave it as is, with me still thinking he's awesome.
Just gotta say, been watchin this same video off and on sense I was a kid. A true, artistic masterpiece that will forever haunt the halls of my mind. Cheers
2 years later and this still gives me chills when I watch this, man. Amazed something with such amazing editing like this doesn't have a million views.
With my excitement for Mass Effect building... It's videos like this that truly do keep me sane. But besides that, this is definitely one of the best fan videos I have seen in a long time. Sequence, highs and lows, and great pains to get the right shots from what I can see. Truly a masterpiece.
Out of all the Mass Effect characters, Garrus is my favorite. Out of all the background stories,his was by far the most(lack of a better word) Human. His character has real depth to it. Five stars to the creator of this video
acavyos, you deserve some kind of award. That was hands down the most impressive fan tribute video I have ever seen. I still have chills from watching. Bravo sir/madam. Bravo.
Garrus Vakarian. one of my favorite game characters of all time. Deus Ex. one of my favorite Action/RPGs of all time. Put the two of them together like this? and you got yourself something seriously special.
When Mass Effect posts videos of this on facebook, you know it's something worth watching. And, I'm glad I did. I'd love to see something for Wrex, or Tali. Something for the people who meant the most to the ME universe, and who have been with Shepard since the begining.
To me Garrus Vakarian many things. Aa amzing shot, an even greater turian, and a better leader than he realizes. Garrus is, to me, the best wingman anyone can ask for. I can honestly say he is like a brother to me. We have both spilled the same blood in the same mud. This video is one of the best character tributes I have seen in a long time, and I for one thank you.
I.....really cant believe this only has 30,000 views. This is one of the best Mass Effect related videos I've seen since the 2nd game came out. It almost feels like a movie trailer.
Because of your Mass Effect video...I can still remember why I freaking love the Mass Effect games :D I bet I'm one of those player that still keeps Garrus in their squad...and Tali too.
The only thing I can say about this is it captures; not only the spirit of the game but the personality of Garrus himself, its amazing work you have done here & I look forward to more, if Mass Effect fans dont like this video, then we know their minds have been Indoctrinated.
How badass is Garrus, you ask? On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is Justin Bieber and 10 is Batman, Garrus is ranked as... Chuck Norris. Meaning his badassness cannot be assigned a numeric value.
Other than Wrex and Grunt (gotta love the Krogan mentality), Garrus is my favorite character from the ME series. He's a straight-forward, pulls-no-punches kind of guy. and this video does him justice. Great vid!
its wonderful how all of Garrus' voice overs can be used to create one giant epic voice over for a great vid using Deus Ex: HR trailer music and dialogue. :)
I implore you to update this already chilling video with clips from ME3. There are some heart wrenching and memorable moments with Garrus in the third game that should be honored as well. It will give him the epic send off he so truly deserves.
I love your work! Your editing prowess is rapidly becoming legendary. Great look at Garrus...one of my favorite characters and especially love the Deus Ex music, very fitting.
This video brought a manly tear to my eye, Garrus was an all time favorite for me since ME1, and that feeling just got upped by every game after it. He was a true badass, and also being a very complex character all around, and I honestly thought they did an amazing job writing him. Kudos my friend, the video is top notch, amazing job!
Just wanted to say how much I LOVE this video! Like you, Garrus was pretty much my favorite Mass Effect character. By the third game, I couldn't imagine the plot without him and took him on every mission. Thanks for making this video! I'm adding it to my favorites. :D
I honestly didn't think id like this, but YOU SIR have done an AMAZING job at making an AMAZING tribute to the best character in video game history! Thank you SO much! I tip my hat to you Sir 1000+ times
Ohh man, I cant stop watchng this. It sends chills down my spine, just amazing, so fitting for his personality. Keep up the amazing work, I hope to see more like this from you.
Amazing how every voice acting sounds 200% more epic and emotional with the Icarus track, isn't it? Found this after seeing your Mass Deffect videos and this is also pretty awesome. Nice summary of this character.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen! the music, the text that Garrus said.... Just everything is perfect! I wanted to make a second playthrough where I was going to romance Kaidan, but after seeing this I just wanna stick with Garrus. Amazing video! You really caught Garrus' personality!
Damn, that bastard is amazing. Hard headed, stubborn, a really good friend to have at your six and awesome to boot. Amazing work on the video! I always find it a bit weird when people play as another model than Shepard (something about it just spells "wrong-wrong-wrong!" to me) but doing it to make a video like this: Bloody brilliant!
If there was ever a squadmate to deserve his own game, it's Garrus.
TobyTime And Thane Krios.The assassin.
So Wrex too!
Heck, most could. Though I love her, I don't see someone like Tali getting a game though, same with people like James, but the others? Totally! Garrus, an Omega game, possibly some flashbacks to C-Sec. Wrex, how he got his ideals, and his quest to save his race.

However, they'd probably only do a few of these, most likely Garrus, and I'd so buy that! #BestAlienBro!
And Liara, since she got it now lol
Someone needs to make this. Like seriously I would pay to play
Not the calibration Omega deserve..but the one it needed.....
This guy needs a spinoff already.
They talked about that - Mac Walters said that if he wanted to do a spin-off game for Mass Effect, it would be either an "L.A. Noire" type detective game with Garrus Vakarian, or a "Hitman/Dishonored" type game featuring Kai Leng.
...
Please, God, don't let it be the latter one.
Smith Baran
God, Kai Leng sucks so hard. Seriously, he was cool enough in the books (except for that last one, ugh) but in ME3 he just feels like a shitty ripoff of Raiden from MGS4. Even some of the poses he makes are ripped straight from MGS.
And the way he acts is retarded as hell.
"Shepard, you're so weak!"
*Shepard proceeds to curbstomp him*
"Argh, I'll have this gunship cover me while I recover"
And then the email he sends you after Thessia is so childish. Seriously, he's supposed to be a professional assassin, but he acts like a 12 year old on xbox live. Also, everything about him makes me think of Poochy from the Simpsons. He's designed to be cool, by people who tried way too hard to make him seem cool.
Jimmy Joseph Also, he killed Thane.
+magmablock
But only if someone travels back in time and get's pre-2012 Bioware to do it.
Otherwise I'd prefer if it would stay a fond memory ;)
Hell yes! This guy defines Loyalty, Friendship, Badassery and god damn freakin calibration of giant guns!!!!
"First Saren, now the Colectors...remind me never get on your bad side Shepard....i almost feel sorry for the Reapers". Garrus Vakarian....the best character in the Mass Effect Universe, period.
+BlackHellhound The best character in *any* universe, period. Webster needs to put his face next to "hero" in the English dictionary. And next to "calibration", of course!
Garrus is my favorite squadmate. When he told me to wait at the bar up there in heaven, i couldn't give a bigger smile than i already did.
Although heaven is a lie. But it's a comforting lie.
Garrus has always been in my party... never leave home without your trusty Garrus
I’m truly in tears, I’m glad all my work and sacrifices have not gone unnoticed
Took him on every mission, in all 3 games. He always had my back.
There's no one else I had rather done this with.
Cheers to you Garrus
Even after all this time, this is still the best fan made Mass Effect video I have seen.
i agree, can't get enough of this video and monologue.. very inspiring.
In 2018, still one of the best videos about the best squadmate you could ask for.
@Benny! Scrooo Yooou! Hell yeah! 😎
33 people didn't wait for Garrus to finish calibrating.
After many years I finally rediscovered this masterpiece. I thought it was deleted from TH-cam.
I’m still watching this in 2019. I miss my crew, my friends.
Seven years later, and this is still the best Mass Effect video ever made.
In June of 2023, this video is still awesome.
"All empires..."
I had no idea he actually said that...
A powerful tribute throughout. Soulful work ACAVYOS.
Garrus Vakarian. True Mass Effect hero. We humans can only be honoured to be by his side. I romance him every bloody time. No Shepard without Vakarian.
Best Garrus vid I've ever watched yet. Thank you so much for your talent. Now, I wish an ME game with only Garrus in his C-Sec days and as Knight of Omega. BRILLIANT VID!
Truly the best squadmember and the most perfect character in the game and deserving every admirations he gets . He really deserves to be honored with an own game in which his story is told to the little detail. The character and his story is a state of the art masterpiece and must not be let to die and vanish.

I've had this video in my favorites for god knows how many years. Found it again funnily enough while playing through Legendary Edition. Still the best fan video ever made. It's been emotional
They should just make a game about Garrus.
Good to see that I'm not the only one who thinks Garrus should get his own spinoff game.
Every single time I watch a Mass Effect video, I always - ALWAYS - come across dialogue that I've not heard yet. It's amazing. This is a great video by the way, Garrus is a personal favourite!
I love the friendship that develops between Garrus and male Shepard. When you stop Garrus from killing Sidonis, the way Shepard tells him "Don't be too hard on yourself" is really comforting. Also in ME3 when they're sniping in the Citadel, "I'm Garrus Vakarian, and this is my favorite shop in the Citadel".
i'm still here, holding the line
Waiting for the remaster
you're not alone ✋
Keelah se'lai
we need the legendary version of this
Best alien buddy since Chewie
“You don’t owe these people anymore! You’ve given them everything!”
“Not everything. Not yet.”
My backlog is way too damn big for me to consider playing these again, but dammit I just may now.
Excellent use of Icarus here. I almost want some kind of Mass Effect/ Deus Ex crossover. Jensen wouldn't seem too out of place on the Citadel or something.
Those were truly good times. Me and Tali really miss Shepard.
God damn this is so good. I watch it almost every day. I just love so much about the Garrus/Shepard dynamic, and Garrus himself. Its just.. so great how Turians and Humans have this tension between them ever since the contact war, and yet you couldn't find a more tight, inseparable camaraderie. Garrus is the ultimate wing man, and I could never NOT recruit him, ever. You did a superb job illustrating and paying tribute to such an amazing character.
This is amazing. Also, the part where Mordin said "Severe trauma. Can't do much" and Garrus just cut him off made me laugh
Completed the entirety of the 1st instalment with him and wrex. 2nd one with him and grunt. And in the third game the Turian himslef returns and proceeds to kick ass alongside a prothean. How fucking awesome is that?
Like a boss!
Wow dude, this honestly made me cry. Garrus is definitely one of my top favorite characters in this whole series, the dude just reeks of swag and you can't help but feel like he's one the guys. The kind of person you can sit down with, crack jokes while drinking a few cold ones and know and feel that life in itself is a beautiful thing. Especially when you have somebody like that with you as your best friend.
Mass Effect definitely needed a movie more than warcraft. Sorry but it's true.
unfortunately there r two words that will ensure that wont happen; Egotistical Assholes
At least we got Paragon Lost... right?
I think a series would offer more than a film could. Don’t have any intergalactic threats, just keep the scope centred around the characters and a smaller scale plot.
Still one of my most favorite videos on such an iconic character. Thank you so much for such work of art. Still so good after all these years.
Daaaaaayuuuum!
Garrus Vakarian, ultimate bro. Says so on his card.
a movie about garrus during his archangel days would be badass!
Garrus and Jack proved to be my kill em all squad. However on that last mission I figured He deserved to lead his own team cause I could absolutely count on him.
From 2011 to 2019 still amazing
Well done, sir! You sifted through a lot of cinematic footage, cut it into ~3sec chunks, some of them from playthroughs where Garrus' model was hacked over Sheppard's, did some post-processing on some of the video, and assembled it all into a collection of awesome.

I miss you
I miss the good old days
I guess you too
13 years later is still an amazing tribute video
Can't stop smiling...
2 years later and this still gives me chills when I watch this, man. Amazed something with such amazing editing like this doesn't have a million views.
"when the Reapers lie in ruins, then you have my permission to calibrate"
With my excitement for Mass Effect building... It's videos like this that truly do keep me sane. But besides that, this is definitely one of the best fan videos I have seen in a long time. Sequence, highs and lows, and great pains to get the right shots from what I can see. Truly a masterpiece.
Next Movie Title:
Vakarian : the Beginning
The Dark Knight of Omega
The Vakarian Rise.
I read about this vid on Reddit, and DAMN am I glad I followed that lead! This was brilliant!! Well done!
Garrus is one of my favorites he should be in mass effect 4
Garrus won't be it wouldn't be in the same time line so it is unlikely anyone we know from ME will be there
Honestreviewshow I know but he is awesome and something always needs calabrated
+Honestreviewshow well Liara *might* still be alive in Andromeda
Out of all the Mass Effect characters, Garrus is my favorite. Out of all the background stories,his was by far the most(lack of a better word) Human. His character has real depth to it. Five stars to the creator of this video
"It wasn't easy, I really had to work at it"
"It was simple"
o.0
Simple in theory,harder in practice
acavyos, you deserve some kind of award. That was hands down the most impressive fan tribute video I have ever seen. I still have chills from watching. Bravo sir/madam. Bravo.
the best companions are no humans garrus tali and liara to me any way
Garrus Vakarian. one of my favorite game characters of all time.
Deus Ex. one of my favorite Action/RPGs of all time.
Put the two of them together like this? and you got yourself something seriously special.
Yeah... Just like old times...
Who needs ME Andromeda if it don't have Garrus!?
When Mass Effect posts videos of this on facebook, you know it's something worth watching. And, I'm glad I did. I'd love to see something for Wrex, or Tali. Something for the people who meant the most to the ME universe, and who have been with Shepard since the begining.

FUCK
YES
I.....really cant believe this only has 30,000 views. This is one of the best Mass Effect related videos I've seen since the 2nd game came out. It almost feels like a movie trailer.
we need a game where you just control Garrus. Please Bioware do it!
Because of your Mass Effect video...I can still remember why I freaking love the Mass Effect games :D
I bet I'm one of those player that still keeps Garrus in their squad...and Tali too.
I wonder if Garrus has one rule?
Don't Calibrate My Guns.
no civilian casualties I'd assume based on his dialogue in 2 if you ask about his activities on omega
The only thing I can say about this is it captures; not only the spirit of the game but the personality of Garrus himself, its amazing work you have done here & I look forward to more, if Mass Effect fans dont like this video, then we know their minds have been Indoctrinated.

Kudos my friend, the video is top notch, amazing job!
30th consecutive day!
A view of (your) Garrus's video a day,
makes the Reapers go away!
I wasnt even that dissapointed with the ending in the first place. these guys are are so great and nothing will ever change that.
The voice acting in ME2 is the best I've ever heard. 3:57 - 4:10 - wow, combined with the music - good shit.
I cannot stop watching this. Epic in its purest form.
Please dear god continue to make videos like this!
Dude, Garrus is by far my favorite character. Thanks for making this video!! Mass Effect 3 2012!!
This is just awesome. One of my fav characters. Such a badass and yet such a good soul. I love Garrus
probably the best mass effect fan made video ive ever seen in youtube so far.
Amazing tribute!!! Garrus has always been my favorite character and squadmate!!! Even if he doesn't work well with the class I'm playing at the time
Just wanted to say how much I LOVE this video! Like you, Garrus was pretty much my favorite Mass Effect character. By the third game, I couldn't imagine the plot without him and took him on every mission. Thanks for making this video! I'm adding it to my favorites. :D
I love how much the Deus Ex: HR OST really fit into this. Made the entire video a freakin' experience of its own kind
Mass Effect + Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack ... You're genius!
Best squad mate in any video game. Thanks for making this
I still cannot get over how massively awesome this video is. You've done one hell of a job on it!
I honestly didn't think id like this, but YOU SIR have done an AMAZING job at making an AMAZING tribute to the best character in video game history! Thank you SO much! I tip my hat to you Sir 1000+ times
Ohh man, I cant stop watchng this. It sends chills down my spine, just amazing, so fitting for his personality. Keep up the amazing work, I hope to see more like this from you.
Hands down, best fan made tribute video I ERR'R did see.
Garrus
Amazing how every voice acting sounds 200% more epic and emotional with the Icarus track, isn't it? Found this after seeing your Mass Deffect videos and this is also pretty awesome. Nice summary of this character.
This is just amazing man. I love it so much. Garrus Vakarian - The Arch Angel of Omega... It's just got such an incredible ring to it :D
The Deus Ex music fit this video so well. Really well done.
MY GOD MAN. What have you done? This...was awesome! I Got the goosebumps.
This is the best tribute for the best squadmate and friend i have ever seen.
This is far beyond just "awesome work", your work if really perfect.
This is truly amazing
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen! the music, the text that Garrus said.... Just everything is perfect! I wanted to make a second playthrough where I was going to romance Kaidan, but after seeing this I just wanna stick with Garrus. Amazing video! You really caught Garrus' personality!
Damn, that bastard is amazing. Hard headed, stubborn, a really good friend to have at your six and awesome to boot.
Amazing work on the video! I always find it a bit weird when people play as another model than Shepard (something about it just spells "wrong-wrong-wrong!" to me) but doing it to make a video like this: Bloody brilliant!
In less then a month Garrus will kick some ass again! Love the video, amazing work.
