Yeah but like GOT, i feel like i need to say this everytime, it's not because the end is not great that the whole thing was trash i know you probably don't think it or meant it, but so many people complain about bein disappointed by the endings, and get so triggered by them that they act like the whole franchise was crap
It’s a joke, but it’s also not a joke. It encapsulates the player’s frustrations at going through all three games, supposedly making decisions of galactic importance, only to reach the end and have some random alien child moralizing at them and claiming credit for their efforts.
@@mushyroom9569, honestly, I'd have preferred the original ending over the one (and the "updated" one) that we got. Still sounded terrible on paper, though, so I don't think they were really capable of closing out the trilogy with much grace.
As someone who modded my ME3 install years ago to change those name plates, unless there's a tool now or something, it takes a crazy amount of work in a hex editor to change those. Crazy dedication. Small fry compared to the rest of the video, but still.
1:40 dying with the catalyst bit. Not only the VFX getting Michael in there but the camera and sound is on point. And one of my favorite line: "I'm an adult, i don't have to think or do anything" 🤣
@@Alvaro89RusNah, no way there's an ending where every husk becomes sentient... Or an ending where Shepard ASSUMES DIRECT CONTROL of the reapers... I mean, seriously that would be so stupid, right?
Your rotoscoping, cameratracking and colour grading is always so on point...but what really gets me is your ability to craft really immersive narratives. Bravo.
It reminds me of a TH-camr who has a game review series called Ross's Game Dungeon. He is able to construct a whole different story and narrative around and alongside the plot of the games that he reviews. It takes a an impressive amount of creativity and raw skill to make they both posses.
Indeed. As Dwight Schrute said, "His rotoscoping, cameratracking, and color grading are acceptable, I guess, but what really impresses me is his narrative prowess. Crafting a compelling story is no easy feat, and he's a master at it. He's got my begrudging respect."
Dude, the moment I saw the notification, I started jumping and smiling. This is a masterpiece, and Michael punishing the Catalyst is pure gold. I have nothing else to say but THANK YOU!
As someone who has watched The Office all the way through at least 25 times and have played Mass Effect in the past, I can't begin to describe how perfect this is.
@@JohnDoe-qy6oq I tried it before the US version but it's just too cringe, I can't do it. Loved Ricky Gervais in other shows but that's just too much. Also fun fact, I used to live in Slough where that show is set 🙂
The memorial wall sign reads “MICHAEL SCOTT” in the same typeface as the game. I’m impressed by your editing skills. Also, the way you integrated The Office dialogue and the Mass Effect trilogy dialogue shows your dedication to both established narratives.
@Jagar Tharn what a stupid comment, you know what I meant by saying all in and if you don't then your a idiot, that or a poor attempt at being a troll lol, either way nice try 😉
This was terrific, just as the original. Better, actually. Somehow you make Michael Scott fit so well within the Mass Effect universe, and have it actually look like episodes of The Office. Absolutely amazing job.
these interviews, sometimes called "confessionals" (idk what else to call them) often happen after the fact, but the person speaking is being directed to use the present tense, to describe as if the thing is still happening and undecided. it's the case with Survivor and I believe with mockumentaries as well
everything about this is so perfect, it's just as incredible as the last one. I could watch a hundred of these, please make more Commander Scott content
This is absolutely PHENOMENAL. I thought the previous one you did was pretty much perfect, but this one was somehow even better. Also, the Starchild deserved that.
The Office is the last great comedy to ever be made on television. Name me one show funnier than it that they've aired on TV since then. (No, Community, Rick and Morty, and other Dan Harmon shows are "quirky," but they aren't "funny.")
The production value here is off the charts. Look at the reflection in the table at 1:26. Beautiful. Edit: Having looked more closely, it looks like the tabletop may just be semi-transparent, which simulates the effect of a reflection without having to actually create one. Genius shortcut.
@@tommarsdon5644 You have to roto out the table anyway in order to put Michael behind it, so making it semi-opaque rather than fully opaque doesn't take any extra work.
The GOAT returns haha. I freakin love this series! I also enjoy the continuity of Michael pickin Miranda as his love interest. And Michael delivering punishment to Starchild... *chefs kiss* Edit: Also, can we take some time to appreciate all the small details Eli puts into these vids? The edit of "Citadel" on Michaels foam hand and the N7 on his shirt is a nice touch. The camera work is spot on with the zooming and slight shaking. Even the sound design. You can hear the hum of the Normandy in the background when scenes take place on the ship. In the Starchild scene and in the first video in the Citadel Embassies, you can actually hear some reverb and echoing as the scenes are shot in a large open space. There's a ton of attention to detail which just adds to the immersion!
This might be some of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time. It feels so perfect the way he’s cut in and how the comedy works with the mass effect characters. How you even thought to put certain scenes from two entirely unrelated universes is beyond me but these are gold.
Having just recently binged watch The Office from start to finish, this is amazingly done. He fits in so well, and you did a great job picking the right scenes to put in the game lol.
The unbelievable editing and timing of these videos man… I’ll never get tired of this. Was rolling for a flat minute by the time you showed Michael explaining why he picked the Destroy ending. Catalyst getting what he deserves too 👏👏👏
“This is Michael Scott, and this is my favourite store on the Citadel”
The facepalm after the "Collar Blind" joke was absolutely perfect lmao.

Agreed.

The fact that Michael's voice echoes in the room with the Catalyst really shows your dedication. This is awesome, and hilarious.

So Mike chose the Destruction ending which means he survived, good stuff lol
