@KahliPlaysGames You're going to love some of the characters! Hahaha I'm ready to see all shades of Shep. I generally love being nice to people, but sometimes, I've gotta let my chaotic and sassy side out depending on the context and circumstances, even more so if they don't deserve kindness hahah. I can't wait to hear your thoughts throughout the entirety of this series, 'cause there will be LOTS of interesting things to think and talk about.

No thanks
Haha it was so epic and beautiful that I had to look 😂 Dude that part cracked me up. The mechs were absolutely shook be the level of disrespect Shepard and Jacob were showing them 😂 I can tell the game is going to be amazing just by that scene.

Nice! Always a treat to see people go into this one blind. Now that the world's established they can go nuts. You'll undoubtedly be getting a lot of "hints" / spoilers for this one in particular as the playthrough goes on, best of luck staying blind!
I like you. You’re funny. I love this game and I’ve just seen you’re playing The Evil Within, so I’m subscribing at least for a while. I hope you have a good time with the games. I look forward to sharing in your journeys.
Nice to see you starting ME2. The the hood that was mentioned in the email was the full face hood you saw at the Lazarus base. if you look in the armour station you will that each piece of armour gives you unique bonuses, as you find more you may well switch some over so that you get bonuses suited to the soldier class.
The opening is so good. The shock of the attack, the death of familiar characters, the details as you go to rescue Joker. Then you die.... first time I played it took me a second to realize that the blackened stuff I was looking at was Shepard's organs. The levels are a little bit more compartmentalized than I usually prefer, but they nailed it.
My head canon for the butt pads is for leverage when moving heavy stuff in space. Humans use our hips to push stuff all the time, spaceships and stations could get very cramped so having a textured spot you could reliably use to shove a crate or a rock or something aside would be pretty useful. Also just sitting down would be a pain in the ass while wearing hard, smooth armor, so having a spot with more friction would be nice. They are also silly butt pads too.
ME2 introduced paragon and renegade interrupts, all I’ll say is play the game as you want and have fun with this new mechanic. Just be ready at all times. Have fun on your journey.
Fun fact about the interactive comic Genesis; it was originally created with PlayStation players in mind as the first game was originally an Xbox console exclusive but when EA bought BioWare they made the sequel multi platform and need a way for PS owners to make the choices of the first game.
never heard it even was on xbox lol only seen it on PC at the time it was in the gaming magazines and all that, all I ever read was that it was a PC game, had no idea back then that it even existed on console, but the no headshot part now make me think it was console and then changed to pc
And now that we have been able to play the first one, we hate that comic with a passion. lol. It just defaults so many choices to "No, Shepard didn't do that." No Conrad Verner, no Gianna Parasini, etc. Just the major choices.
Soldier is such an under rated class. Playing on Insanity actually becomes fun when you just use Adrenaline Rush and Incendiary ammo while spamming squad powers using the d-pad (hint hint)
@@KahliPlaysGames classes was changed. Not perfect, as for me, especially in ME2, but "not bad, not bad" in ME3. Any way It will be a good hell of the ride through Milky Way. Enjoy!)
Looking forward to seeing how you enjoy this game after watching the first game playthrough! The structure is pretty similar; it's worth exploring the Normandy and talking to your crew after each mission, even if Kelly doesn't tell you they want to talk. Sometimes they'll have things to say and sometimes they won't, but they have a LOT more to say than they did in ME 1!
I must confess, I haven't finished with your ME1 playthrough yet. I was unable to for a while due to stress at work and I was sick for a few days, too, but now I'm going to continue (I'll ignore the stress at work and destress with this instead), but decided to catch up to ME1 in my own time and watch your ME2 playthrough regularly instead. It's probably my favourite game of the trilogy anyway (I don't know how many hours I spend with this one and how many playthroughs I did).
No worries! I hope things at work calm down soon and that you feel better 😊 hopefully you can get some rest and a nice break for the holidays. I've heard that ME2 is a lot of people's favorite of the series. I'm really excited to see what the hype is all about 😊
I’m so glad you’re starting ME2! The opening really does blow your mind. I can’t believe they started off by blowing up the Normandy and killing Shepherd. Enjoy the game! It is incredibly well done, and all of the characters are great. You might like to know that a lot of those emails you got are related to DLC’s and bonuses. Specifically Project Firewalker and Overlord are DLC’s. Zaeed and Kasumi are DLC characters too, so you’ll notice their dialogue choices are very different than everyone else’s. Lastly you should probably know there are two unskippable missions in this game. So if you are getting ready to end the recording for the day, and either Kelly or Joker tell you that the Illusive Man wishes to speak to you, don’t go talk to him!
That opening was the most epic and insane opening I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing! Thank you :) I'm so excited to play ME2, the first game was so amazing so I'm sure this one will be awesome as well. I'll give the illusive man the silent treatment 😂
Yay, more Mass Effect. Yeah there's no more over-heating of weapons cause they switched to ammo clips that overheat instead. Also without saying spoilers, it is very important to get to know the crew in this game and do their missions, more so than the first game. Have fun
Here’s some facts about the illusive man you will not find out in the games, his name is Jack Harper and he was in the first contact war were he was captured by the Turians and encountered Saren. It is his experiences that led to the weird eyes and anti alien views. None of this info is in the games you have to read the comics to learn it.
In the old days, Miranda and the Illusive Man talked about whether or not you saved the Council. This was changed in Legendary Edition. Did you actually do any of the Cerberus side quests in ME1? You can stumble on to them several ways, but Admiral Kahoku is the most likely path. 49:54 there used to be a third question here, about Anderson vs Udina, cuz originally they *forgot to implement that choice* 52:04 he said "Not as evil as you believe." He didn't say "Not evil." AI *is* illegal, but Cerberus doesn't care about that.
I tried to do as many side quests as I could but I don't remember Cerbrus being mentioned. I couldn't finish the Admiral quest because I killed the Thrasher Maw after Captain Anderson punched Udina in the face so I couldn't go to the Citadel to talk to the Admiral about his crew 😢😅
@@KahliPlaysGames ok well they were experimenting on Rachni and Thorian creatures. You don't see Miranda or the Illusive Man, but pretty much every lab of theirs winds up like your ressurection, things go south, Shepard goes in and cleans up. Along the way, you find Kahoku's body. :(
No, there's no overheating of weapons in this game. Instead you have a more traditional approach to ammo. The game tries to ensure a degree of consistency with ME1, by calling the "ammo" something like "ejectable heat sinks," but the bottom line is, you CAN run out of ammo, so you have to reload often, and look out for pick ups.
Bodies strewn about like scraps of meat, the Normandy is tore up from the floor up...Kahli; "Whoa! That's cool." 😑 Also, how many bald crew members were assigned to that ship? Men, women, it's like nobody had ever heard of a clipper guard...just straight to skull.
haha I mean that scene was really epic and intense. The whole part where we are trying to get to Joker and the whole top of the ship is gone and we can only hear Shepard's breathing...absolutely amazing and impactful.
Just a heads up ME2 is a big one, lots to do, especially with the DLC's in it, but it is also the best Mass Effect IMO. I think you will be surprised how much you enjoy this one over ME1. Time to worry about ammo now, aswell as the million and one things to do if you chose to.
Ooh, another player enjoying one of my favourite four games! - thinks I. I look at you in the intro, I hear you speak and I'm thinking "a nice person" and immediately "oh, no, not another nice lady doing that..." But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Let's watch the ME1 summary, please, prove me wrong, please, prove my snap judgement just from looking at you watch Normandy burn was wrong. But no, I was right. Of course, you killed off Ashley. No point watching me you play 2 if I can predict your choices. But I'll join you for 3 to watch you cry in the right moments. Enjoy 2, you're gonna love it and be surprised a few times. Do as many side missions as you can. And don't believe in order of them. If it becomes available it can be done and won't ruin anything for you, contrary to what people may say. There's just one side mission that is best done immediately, and if not - as late AP, to facilitate the optimal result. See you in 3.
"What just happened?" lol I think that is everyone's reaction (with various levels of profanity) to the beginning of 2, even if not said outright. ME2 missions tend to end abruptly or doors get locked behind you, there is rarely an opportunity to wander about after the goal is accomplished. Keep in mind to explore thoroughly as you go. On the plus side, it is much easier to keep track of all the star clusters and worlds you have visited in ME2. I don't replay me1 without a checklist. To give a definite answer to the question about Tali and her data. There is a "Prove it is you" option at the beginning of the first conversation with her that makes direct reference to the data if you got it for her. I think she is a bit warmer about refusing to go with you in the last conversation as well.(or maybe I just read that into her voice?) Kelly is often out of sync with your messages; she knows when you get them, she does not know if you saw them before she gets a chance to mention it.
The genesis comic is misleading or suggests that Shepard misunderstood one crucial piece of information from data gathered over the course of ME1 events. Not "all organic life", just advanced stage iii civilizations.
Is that my computer or the video is in a low definition ? I see a lot of pixels even if I use the HD resolution (1080p60) but the definition is not good, especially in the dark colours, I see a lot of pixels
@@KahliPlaysGames Thank you very much, Kahli I asked that because I changed some settings of my PC recently, and maybe I made some mistakes 😰 Tell me if you see pixels as well
"I thought AI was illegal" nice paying attention to the lore. Yes, that is the case. Which should tell you what Cerberus is wiling to do for the advancement of humanity. Also, the Recon Hood is a helmet for your armor.
@@KahliPlaysGames Pretty much a collective sentiment. lol. Though, I think there are valid arguments to be made. Jacob: No one else is doing anything. Kelly: You can be for humanity without being against non-humans. Those are the ones made so far (in your playthrough) that I remember. Now, let's see what Cerberus does.
@MagiaErebea028 weird I felt like I did almost all of them but I don't remember hearing much about Cerberus. I remember a few side quests about ExoGeni that did horrible experimentation, though
1) AI is illegal, but Cerberus is a vigilante/terrorist group, and doesn't care 2) EDI is a shackled AI Have fun with the game, it is a classic for a reason. Try to dodge spoilers, you only have one first playthrough.
Enjoy the game, read nothing, be true to your choices, stand by your decisions. Dont try to min max the game, there are sometimes no easy options, and there are sometimes difficukt choices that come back on you. And your choices not only affect later in the game, but also the following game. Enjoy, ill be watching
@KahliPlaysGames just to confirm when I say read nothing I mean don't read spoilers. You are going to love these characters and you don't want to spoil yourself
Here's some unsolicited advice: I know there are people who think they'll get brownie points from a pretty girl if they tell you how to reach the "optimal" ending. While there were only two real spoilers you could get in ME1, it's completely different in ME2. If anyone starts telling you the order you should do missions, what characters to bring for missions, or, especially, anything related to the final mission, please stop reading; you'll taint your playthrough. I'm here for the genuine experience, real choices and real consequences. Otherwise, I could just play the game again myself.
@jakerscythe good to know, I'll make sure to just play how I want :) I didn't really get any spoilers last time so hopefully that trend will stay for this one. If not I have someone moderating the comments for spoilers😊
@@KahliPlaysGames mostly agree with the @jakerscythe, the only (two) thing you should know: don't rush with main story and do "loyalties" first, and "Arrival" mission is a direct bridge to ME3, do it after you finish the game (it's a former DLC and placed in game not logically, and it WILL ruin your story sense if played in the middle). Anything else is completely up to you!
@@TheOriginalDarkSheep if you played the game, you know what Arrival is and what it does to storyline, and you know that ME2 is tricky in that term. If OP want to ruin (intentionally or not) Kahli's playthrough, that exactly the reason why I made this comment.
@@ingvarsimons7548I’ve replayed the trilogy many times. Only on my first playthrough did I make an unoptimised run, and that is why I still remember it fourteen years later - It was NOT perfect. Arrival advice is fine though.
Ahhh yeah I didn't get to finish that quest because I tried to complete it after we escaped the Citadel (when Captain Anderson punched Udina in the face 🤣)
The Normandy SR2 is close to the SR1 but not identical, when you arrive, you already can notice the differences... The SR1 was angular, the SR2 has a more curvy design, I prefer from far the design of the SR2 !!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 (and of course, the colours are different as well : the SR1 is more in cold colours : blue tones... The SR2 has got warm colours : red and gold)
It's definitely illegal. It is mentioned in several parts of ME1 but the one I remember is when talking with Tali about the Geth, you can literally ask "Isn't AI research illegal?" to which Shepard says "Why didn't the Council step in and stop you?", so AI research is illegal in Citadel Space at least. You can check on Kahli's playthrough of ME1, the 3rd video on minute 41:45. Kahli has a wild imagination but she doesn't make stuff up 😅
@@Ghaladd Mass Effect is full of VI everywhere, in ME1 (go to see the Citadelle for instance), the Geth that are equiped by computer programs, etc. But I think you mistaken about the word AI does not mean "Autonomous Intelligence" but "Artificial Intelligence", and the artificial intelligence are everywhere in the Mass Effect trilogy... The root is a mistake from BioWare who calls AI ("Artificial Intelligence") "VI" (Virtual Intelligence), but using AI myself everyday, I can tell this completely different to an Autonomous Intelligence called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), but at the time in 2010, AI were not very known yet and even today while it is, a lot of people mistaken and are TERRIFIED about AI thinking they decide anything in a complete autonomy, that's not the case at all... EDI is an Artificial Intelligence the game Mass Effect would call a "VI" and VIs in the Mass effect trilogy are allowed Just to say 😉 PS : Please, be careful of not making any spoiler (for Kahli), thank you 😊😉
@@elodie2404 no confusion here, I'm just stating what's literally in the games 😄 Avina also explains the difference between AI and VI if you wanna go back and listen to that conversation. Real world examples don't work since this is work of fiction lol, Citadel Space outlawed AI research after what happened with the Geth
@@Ghaladd I didn't say you confused, but there is a misleading data that led to a confusion between what I am talking about and what you are talking about, and the misled is rooted by unappropriated words about the artificial intelligence... I know what is a virtual intelligence (except, of course if you have a completely different definition of what it means, based, yet again, on misleading data made by the fiction universe) They messed up everything if, because of it, we can't even understand each other when we talk By the way, I skipped any Avina explaination in ME1, I found Avina a so boring... VI ! 😂 And I want to add, I never said Kahli made up anything... I was just making a joke... But times are harsh and I can understand people sometimes forget about the fact other people can sometimes make jokes 😄 That's okay, don't worry... I understand 😉
I am SO HAPPY YOU play ME2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤💖🎊💐✨🎉🍀🌈🌺☀ About the opening DLC, Genesis... It is probably the worst DLC ever made in the History of video games, and it wasn't made by the team who made Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3... The Mass Effect trilogy has been made by BioWare Edmonton with a precise team The Genesis DLC was made by BioWare Montreal (a complete different studio with a complete different team... Normally, the game shouldn't be cut in full flight by that (badly drawn) comic recap' that breaks the atmosphere of the game in the very start... Adding to that we really didn't need that recap' as we already had one in the basic game, and their "interactive comic" is not very interactive, actually... 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I always skip it BioWare Montreal who made that DLC is the one who made Andromeda, a well known disastrous video game that almost burnt the Mass Effect saga and the reason why Electronic Arts closed BioWare Montreal and fired the team of that studio The problems with Andromeda was not only glitches, everything's wrong in that game... It is so far to be as good as the Mass Effect trilogy, including ME1 which is the lowest level of the three... With Andromeda we easily feel the amateurism, the scenario is filled with contradictions, it is very light, nothing emotional, no epic choices, not any good humour, the ship is so impersonal and cold, we don't feel what we felt for the Normandy, a lot of fed-ex missions... An open-world ? Yes but only to find nothing, it is an open-world for no reason... Adding to that, they created gadgets that remove any suspens : the jet pack and the scan are used too much, at almost every step you take... Where in the Mass effect trilogy you would feel fear for your Shepard if she climbs up a stip hill, here, you just use the jetpack, no risk to fall, no risk for anything... The Nomad looks like a tiny toy, not a real vehicle, the dialogs and the characters are empty, the main character lost her father and her brother is in coma but she doesn't care, not a single moment you see her worried or sad ! And everything in Andromeda is so repetitive... Kert, monolyth, monolyth, Kert, Kert, monolyth, kert... You take two steps and you met kerts, you kill them all, but you go and return just after, you find them alive again... Kahli, did you see how much from the very very start the game has been enhanced from the 1st Mass Effect, if you liked the 1st Mass Effect, you already saw nothing yet ! That's so impressive the way the graphics level improved in ME2, images became so shocking (the destruction of the Normandy and the death of Shepard ! Nothing less !!!! And from the very start on the top of that !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 From the very start of ME2, you already know you deal with something very new and very special, you feel it so intensely ! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@@elodie2404 Ahhh gotcha! I actually thought the comic was pretty neat but I am a fan of comic books and mangas so im a little bias. ME2 is absolutely amazing so far. I loved the first one so im sure this one will be awesome as well 😊😊
@@KahliPlaysGames You won't regret to play Mass Effect 2 !!!! You only started the game now, but the further the more in love with the game you'll be !!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Who's ready for some MASS EFFECT 2!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Also, reminder that this is my first playthrough and I am going in blind so please no spoilers

I love seeing all the characters from our crew again even if it wasn't that long haha, it always feels so nice to talk about what has happened in these two years 😄 Joker's reveal probably takes it tho, it feels so nice to have someone we know on our crew

Nice to see you starting ME2. The the hood that was mentioned in the email was the full face hood you saw at the Lazarus base. if you look in the armour station you will that each piece of armour gives you unique bonuses, as you find more you may well switch some over so that you get bonuses suited to the soldier class.

@@loganphillips2166 opening was absolutely crazy and amazing. What a great start 😊 the whole revival scenes where cool too.
Ah yeah! Missed the live for the most part, I'll watch the replay for sure!
No worries :) it was a prerecorded premiere 😊
My head canon for the butt pads is for leverage when moving heavy stuff in space. Humans use our hips to push stuff all the time, spaceships and stations could get very cramped so having a textured spot you could reliably use to shove a crate or a rock or something aside would be pretty useful. Also just sitting down would be a pain in the ass while wearing hard, smooth armor, so having a spot with more friction would be nice.
They are also silly butt pads too.
Great points 😂 that makes sense. They look hilarious though
I can't wait. this game has my favorite opening. Blew my little mind the first time
@@MagiaErebea028 the opening was insane
ME2 introduced paragon and renegade interrupts, all I’ll say is play the game as you want and have fun with this new mechanic. Just be ready at all times. Have fun on your journey.
Here we goooo!!!
Fun fact about the interactive comic Genesis; it was originally created with PlayStation players in mind as the first game was originally an Xbox console exclusive but when EA bought BioWare they made the sequel multi platform and need a way for PS owners to make the choices of the first game.
Ohhh interesting! Thanks for letting me know :)
never heard it even was on xbox lol
only seen it on PC at the time it was in the gaming magazines and all that, all I ever read was that it was a PC game, had no idea back then that it even existed on console, but the no headshot part now make me think it was console and then changed to pc
@ yeah the first one was published by Microsoft studios so you’re probably right about it going to pc after Xbox.
And now that we have been able to play the first one, we hate that comic with a passion. lol. It just defaults so many choices to "No, Shepard didn't do that." No Conrad Verner, no Gianna Parasini, etc. Just the major choices.
@ I figured it would do that, it doesn’t even mention Feros so I can’t imagine the confusion on some people’s faces when it’s referenced 😆
Soldier is such an under rated class.
Playing on Insanity actually becomes fun when you just use Adrenaline Rush and Incendiary ammo while spamming squad powers using the d-pad (hint hint)
Soldier just a total badass.
@Slird heck yea, I think solider is so much fun to play as (at least is was in the first one) I'll make sure to use those skills too😎
@@KahliPlaysGames classes was changed. Not perfect, as for me, especially in ME2, but "not bad, not bad" in ME3. Any way It will be a good hell of the ride through Milky Way. Enjoy!)
Looking forward to seeing how you enjoy this game after watching the first game playthrough! The structure is pretty similar; it's worth exploring the Normandy and talking to your crew after each mission, even if Kelly doesn't tell you they want to talk. Sometimes they'll have things to say and sometimes they won't, but they have a LOT more to say than they did in ME 1!
Thank you! 😁 I'll make sure to talk to everyone after any main missions
Really looking forward to it! Will be there at 9 pm (German time)
Yay more people playing mass effect is always great
It's absolutely amazing so far 😎
I must confess, I haven't finished with your ME1 playthrough yet. I was unable to for a while due to stress at work and I was sick for a few days, too, but now I'm going to continue (I'll ignore the stress at work and destress with this instead), but decided to catch up to ME1 in my own time and watch your ME2 playthrough regularly instead. It's probably my favourite game of the trilogy anyway (I don't know how many hours I spend with this one and how many playthroughs I did).
No worries! I hope things at work calm down soon and that you feel better 😊 hopefully you can get some rest and a nice break for the holidays.
I've heard that ME2 is a lot of people's favorite of the series. I'm really excited to see what the hype is all about 😊
wow epic I am curious how it will continue 51:01 🙂 greetings from Germany ✨ I got goosebumps already at the intro 🙂
Hopefully good 😅 that intro was insane! I was not ready for that
let's goooooooooo
I’m so glad you’re starting ME2! The opening really does blow your mind. I can’t believe they started off by blowing up the Normandy and killing Shepherd. Enjoy the game! It is incredibly well done, and all of the characters are great. You might like to know that a lot of those emails you got are related to DLC’s and bonuses. Specifically Project Firewalker and Overlord are DLC’s. Zaeed and Kasumi are DLC characters too, so you’ll notice their dialogue choices are very different than everyone else’s. Lastly you should probably know there are two unskippable missions in this game. So if you are getting ready to end the recording for the day, and either Kelly or Joker tell you that the Illusive Man wishes to speak to you, don’t go talk to him!
That opening was the most epic and insane opening I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing!
Thank you :) I'm so excited to play ME2, the first game was so amazing so I'm sure this one will be awesome as well.
I'll give the illusive man the silent treatment 😂
Can’t wait!
@@mr_chill77 🥳🥳
Vamos!! Llevo rato esperando su reacción a ME2
😂😂 well it's finally here 😊
Yay, more Mass Effect. Yeah there's no more over-heating of weapons cause they switched to ammo clips that overheat instead. Also without saying spoilers, it is very important to get to know the crew in this game and do their missions, more so than the first game. Have fun
Thank goodness that overheat is gone 😅 and will do.😊
Here’s some facts about the illusive man you will not find out in the games, his name is Jack Harper and he was in the first contact war were he was captured by the Turians and encountered Saren. It is his experiences that led to the weird eyes and anti alien views. None of this info is in the games you have to read the comics to learn it.
Ohh incredible 😮😁
You can map your squad members' abilities also (one for each), makes using them easy during a fight.
Ohhh nice!! Thanks for letting me know!
It has begun
i so loved this game back at release i think this is one of my most favorite games of all time at the time there was soo much to do in it.
If you're still looking for the Recon Hood that was supposed to be in your quarters, you already unlocked it at 50:37 :)
Thank you 😊😊😊
There is something about the happy Kahli rocking that makes life feel better ..... enjoy 🤩
Lol thank you :)
In the old days, Miranda and the Illusive Man talked about whether or not you saved the Council. This was changed in Legendary Edition.
Did you actually do any of the Cerberus side quests in ME1? You can stumble on to them several ways, but Admiral Kahoku is the most likely path.
49:54 there used to be a third question here, about Anderson vs Udina, cuz originally they *forgot to implement that choice*
52:04 he said "Not as evil as you believe." He didn't say "Not evil."
AI *is* illegal, but Cerberus doesn't care about that.
I tried to do as many side quests as I could but I don't remember Cerbrus being mentioned. I couldn't finish the Admiral quest because I killed the Thrasher Maw after Captain Anderson punched Udina in the face so I couldn't go to the Citadel to talk to the Admiral about his crew 😢😅
@@KahliPlaysGames ok well they were experimenting on Rachni and Thorian creatures. You don't see Miranda or the Illusive Man, but pretty much every lab of theirs winds up like your ressurection, things go south, Shepard goes in and cleans up. Along the way, you find Kahoku's body. :(
@RealArcalian oof that's awful. The Codex said something similar but that's so sad. 😰
No, there's no overheating of weapons in this game. Instead you have a more traditional approach to ammo.
The game tries to ensure a degree of consistency with ME1, by calling the "ammo" something like "ejectable heat sinks," but the bottom line is, you CAN run out of ammo, so you have to reload often, and look out for pick ups.
Glad the overheating is over 😊 😂
You meant "Maybe Kaidan Alenko became a Corsair" ! Yes, that's possible, I didn't thought about that possibility 😉
Yes that's the word I was looking for lol
Bodies strewn about like scraps of meat, the Normandy is tore up from the floor up...Kahli; "Whoa! That's cool." 😑
Also, how many bald crew members were assigned to that ship? Men, women, it's like nobody had ever heard of a clipper guard...just straight to skull.
haha I mean that scene was really epic and intense. The whole part where we are trying to get to Joker and the whole top of the ship is gone and we can only hear Shepard's breathing...absolutely amazing and impactful.
Just a heads up ME2 is a big one, lots to do, especially with the DLC's in it, but it is also the best Mass Effect IMO. I think you will be surprised how much you enjoy this one over ME1. Time to worry about ammo now, aswell as the million and one things to do if you chose to.
Heck yea, I'm so excited 😊
Ooh, another player enjoying one of my favourite four games! - thinks I. I look at you in the intro, I hear you speak and I'm thinking "a nice person" and immediately "oh, no, not another nice lady doing that..." But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Let's watch the ME1 summary, please, prove me wrong, please, prove my snap judgement just from looking at you watch Normandy burn was wrong. But no, I was right. Of course, you killed off Ashley. No point watching me you play 2 if I can predict your choices. But I'll join you for 3 to watch you cry in the right moments. Enjoy 2, you're gonna love it and be surprised a few times. Do as many side missions as you can. And don't believe in order of them. If it becomes available it can be done and won't ruin anything for you, contrary to what people may say. There's just one side mission that is best done immediately, and if not - as late AP, to facilitate the optimal result. See you in 3.
"What just happened?" lol I think that is everyone's reaction (with various levels of profanity) to the beginning of 2, even if not said outright.
ME2 missions tend to end abruptly or doors get locked behind you, there is rarely an opportunity to wander about after the goal is accomplished. Keep in mind to explore thoroughly as you go.
On the plus side, it is much easier to keep track of all the star clusters and worlds you have visited in ME2. I don't replay me1 without a checklist.
To give a definite answer to the question about Tali and her data. There is a "Prove it is you" option at the beginning of the first conversation with her that makes direct reference to the data if you got it for her. I think she is a bit warmer about refusing to go with you in the last conversation as well.(or maybe I just read that into her voice?)
Kelly is often out of sync with your messages; she knows when you get them, she does not know if you saw them before she gets a chance to mention it.
Hahah seriously though, that intro was INSANE! I thought Kelly was messing with me lol 😂
Are you playing on a shared account? Usually you only get to pick the bonus power if you progressed in the game on another save file.
Yeah I'm playing on my ps5 but my partner has played the series on it before. I haven't played it though 😊
1000times yes lets go
The genesis comic is misleading or suggests that Shepard misunderstood one crucial piece of information from data gathered over the course of ME1 events. Not "all organic life", just advanced stage iii civilizations.
I've said it before on your channel, ME2 is my favorite entry in the trilogy. Let's see what you think of it once it's done! 😄
It's already amazing, I'm sure I'll love it😊
Everyone who has ever played ME2 has the same reaction as You, on intro where You die.
Such an insane and amazing intro
Is that my computer or the video is in a low definition ? I see a lot of pixels even if I use the HD resolution (1080p60) but the definition is not good, especially in the dark colours, I see a lot of pixels
It should be up to HD. I would check the settings gear in the video to see what you are streaming it at :)
@@KahliPlaysGames Thank you very much, Kahli
I asked that because I changed some settings of my PC recently, and maybe I made some mistakes 😰
Tell me if you see pixels as well
"I thought AI was illegal" nice paying attention to the lore. Yes, that is the case. Which should tell you what Cerberus is wiling to do for the advancement of humanity. Also, the Recon Hood is a helmet for your armor.
@curlywhites sweet! I thought I remembered something like that . Yeah Cerberus is not a organization I wanted to be tied to buttt here we are 😅
@@KahliPlaysGames Pretty much a collective sentiment. lol. Though, I think there are valid arguments to be made. Jacob: No one else is doing anything. Kelly: You can be for humanity without being against non-humans. Those are the ones made so far (in your playthrough) that I remember. Now, let's see what Cerberus does.
Yea Cerberus were the bad guys for multiple side missions and there are lots of lore stuff about them in mass effect one
@MagiaErebea028 weird I felt like I did almost all of them but I don't remember hearing much about Cerberus. I remember a few side quests about ExoGeni that did horrible experimentation, though
@@KahliPlaysGames yea they suck too
@@MagiaErebea028 agreed 😅
1) AI is illegal, but Cerberus is a vigilante/terrorist group, and doesn't care 2) EDI is a shackled AI
Have fun with the game, it is a classic for a reason. Try to dodge spoilers, you only have one first playthrough.
I knew I heard something about AI being illegal ahah thank you! I will hopefully avoid spoilers 🤞
Mommy Miranda
😂😂😂
Enjoy the game, read nothing, be true to your choices, stand by your decisions. Dont try to min max the game, there are sometimes no easy options, and there are sometimes difficukt choices that come back on you. And your choices not only affect later in the game, but also the following game. Enjoy, ill be watching
@@JeffPearce-sx1os thank you! 😊
@KahliPlaysGames just to confirm when I say read nothing I mean don't read spoilers. You are going to love these characters and you don't want to spoil yourself
I always play soldier. 👍
@robschuder3210 soldier is such a fun class 😊 just come in and f%ck shit up
yup, almost word for word what I said on my first playthrough... WTF??? What's going on?!?! Did Shep DIE??? 🤣
@@Flatspare absolutely INSANE 🤣
Here's some unsolicited advice: I know there are people who think they'll get brownie points from a pretty girl if they tell you how to reach the "optimal" ending. While there were only two real spoilers you could get in ME1, it's completely different in ME2. If anyone starts telling you the order you should do missions, what characters to bring for missions, or, especially, anything related to the final mission, please stop reading; you'll taint your playthrough. I'm here for the genuine experience, real choices and real consequences. Otherwise, I could just play the game again myself.
@jakerscythe good to know, I'll make sure to just play how I want :) I didn't really get any spoilers last time so hopefully that trend will stay for this one. If not I have someone moderating the comments for spoilers😊
@@KahliPlaysGames mostly agree with the @jakerscythe, the only (two) thing you should know: don't rush with main story and do "loyalties" first, and "Arrival" mission is a direct bridge to ME3, do it after you finish the game (it's a former DLC and placed in game not logically, and it WILL ruin your story sense if played in the middle). Anything else is completely up to you!
@@ingvarsimons7548 this is exactly the kind of comment OP was talking about.. lol
@@TheOriginalDarkSheep if you played the game, you know what Arrival is and what it does to storyline, and you know that ME2 is tricky in that term. If OP want to ruin (intentionally or not) Kahli's playthrough, that exactly the reason why I made this comment.
@@ingvarsimons7548I’ve replayed the trilogy many times. Only on my first playthrough did I make an unoptimised run, and that is why I still remember it fourteen years later - It was NOT perfect.
Arrival advice is fine though.
Working so I won’t catch the premiere. Going to watch tonight
@@MagiaErebea028 no worries :)

Cerberus killed Rear Admiral Kahoku
Ahhh yeah I didn't get to finish that quest because I tried to complete it after we escaped the Citadel (when Captain Anderson punched Udina in the face 🤣)
@@KahliPlaysGames ohh
Yea me1 got a lot of extra long quests
sorry for spoiler then :o
The Normandy SR2 is close to the SR1 but not identical, when you arrive, you already can notice the differences... The SR1 was angular, the SR2 has a more curvy design, I prefer from far the design of the SR2 !!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 (and of course, the colours are different as well : the SR1 is more in cold colours : blue tones... The SR2 has got warm colours : red and gold)
If you like the Mass Effect trilogy i say play future 2025 Dragon Age (fantasy) trilogy! Same team creat this game to!
good to know, thanks!!
AI never has been illegal in Mass Effect, I think you might confuse with the humanoids in Detroit Become Humans 😉😂
It's definitely illegal. It is mentioned in several parts of ME1 but the one I remember is when talking with Tali about the Geth, you can literally ask "Isn't AI research illegal?" to which Shepard says "Why didn't the Council step in and stop you?", so AI research is illegal in Citadel Space at least. You can check on Kahli's playthrough of ME1, the 3rd video on minute 41:45. Kahli has a wild imagination but she doesn't make stuff up 😅
I think the correct response here is. I thought ai is illegal. Umm you work with cerberus now, they don't care about the law.
@@Ghaladd Mass Effect is full of VI everywhere, in ME1 (go to see the Citadelle for instance), the Geth that are equiped by computer programs, etc. But I think you mistaken about the word AI does not mean "Autonomous Intelligence" but "Artificial Intelligence", and the artificial intelligence are everywhere in the Mass Effect trilogy... The root is a mistake from BioWare who calls AI ("Artificial Intelligence") "VI" (Virtual Intelligence), but using AI myself everyday, I can tell this completely different to an Autonomous Intelligence called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), but at the time in 2010, AI were not very known yet and even today while it is, a lot of people mistaken and are TERRIFIED about AI thinking they decide anything in a complete autonomy, that's not the case at all...
EDI is an Artificial Intelligence the game Mass Effect would call a "VI" and VIs in the Mass effect trilogy are allowed
Just to say 😉
PS : Please, be careful of not making any spoiler (for Kahli), thank you 😊😉
@@elodie2404 no confusion here, I'm just stating what's literally in the games 😄 Avina also explains the difference between AI and VI if you wanna go back and listen to that conversation. Real world examples don't work since this is work of fiction lol, Citadel Space outlawed AI research after what happened with the Geth
@@Ghaladd I didn't say you confused, but there is a misleading data that led to a confusion between what I am talking about and what you are talking about, and the misled is rooted by unappropriated words about the artificial intelligence... I know what is a virtual intelligence (except, of course if you have a completely different definition of what it means, based, yet again, on misleading data made by the fiction universe)
They messed up everything if, because of it, we can't even understand each other when we talk
By the way, I skipped any Avina explaination in ME1, I found Avina a so boring... VI ! 😂
And I want to add, I never said Kahli made up anything... I was just making a joke... But times are harsh and I can understand people sometimes forget about the fact other people can sometimes make jokes 😄 That's okay, don't worry... I understand 😉

About the opening DLC, Genesis... It is probably the worst DLC ever made in the History of video games, and it wasn't made by the team who made Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3...
The Mass Effect trilogy has been made by BioWare Edmonton with a precise team
The Genesis DLC was made by BioWare Montreal (a complete different studio with a complete different team...
Normally, the game shouldn't be cut in full flight by that (badly drawn) comic recap' that breaks the atmosphere of the game in the very start...
Adding to that we really didn't need that recap' as we already had one in the basic game, and their "interactive comic" is not very interactive, actually... 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always skip it
BioWare Montreal who made that DLC is the one who made Andromeda, a well known disastrous video game that almost burnt the Mass Effect saga and the reason why Electronic Arts closed BioWare Montreal and fired the team of that studio
The problems with Andromeda was not only glitches, everything's wrong in that game... It is so far to be as good as the Mass Effect trilogy, including ME1 which is the lowest level of the three... With Andromeda we easily feel the amateurism, the scenario is filled with contradictions, it is very light, nothing emotional, no epic choices, not any good humour, the ship is so impersonal and cold, we don't feel what we felt for the Normandy, a lot of fed-ex missions... An open-world ? Yes but only to find nothing, it is an open-world for no reason... Adding to that, they created gadgets that remove any suspens : the jet pack and the scan are used too much, at almost every step you take... Where in the Mass effect trilogy you would feel fear for your Shepard if she climbs up a stip hill, here, you just use the jetpack, no risk to fall, no risk for anything... The Nomad looks like a tiny toy, not a real vehicle, the dialogs and the characters are empty, the main character lost her father and her brother is in coma but she doesn't care, not a single moment you see her worried or sad ! And everything in Andromeda is so repetitive... Kert, monolyth, monolyth, Kert, Kert, monolyth, kert... You take two steps and you met kerts, you kill them all, but you go and return just after, you find them alive again...
Kahli, did you see how much from the very very start the game has been enhanced from the 1st Mass Effect, if you liked the 1st Mass Effect, you already saw nothing yet ! That's so impressive the way the graphics level improved in ME2, images became so shocking (the destruction of the Normandy and the death of Shepard ! Nothing less !!!! And from the very start on the top of that !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
From the very start of ME2, you already know you deal with something very new and very special, you feel it so intensely ! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@@elodie2404 Ahhh gotcha! I actually thought the comic was pretty neat but I am a fan of comic books and mangas so im a little bias.
ME2 is absolutely amazing so far. I loved the first one so im sure this one will be awesome as well 😊😊
