Hey, i just started playing this on insanity and i keep getting me shit wrecked, i have good accuracy and play pretty conservative but i keep getting shit on. I see you in this playthrough shoot and kill stuff super easy with the shotgun. I try and play like you and my shotgun to face is a dud. So what is your secret to Insanity? how can i be more successful, all the shit you do, i copy. but for some reason my weapon does less than what i see in these videos
@RomanceOfHelenTrent you hide whenever you get shot untill your shield gets up, don't be affraid to act like a pussy and only pop your head out several times to shoot, use your allies abilities whenever you can, and get extremely lucky.
For those who've actually played this game && not just talkin outta their asses :/. Can someone tell me the difference between Vanquard or Infiltrator class as far as harder more difficult gameplay?
@NickSoFlyy vanguard is good for dealing with groups of enemies especially husks but only if you upgrade your shockwave and if you can get warp ammo from jacks loyalty
Aw man i did my insanity play through with the vanguard and you basically have to save after nearly every fight because sometimes you just get straight up ambushed and die instantly
Yeah, vanguards, adepts and engineers are the hardest classes to play as. I beat the game two times with soldier and sentinel. First time with setinel on hard, fairly challenging, 2nd w/ soldier insanity f'in cakewalk I found the soldier really disappointing as you can blow through the game with any need for tech or biotic. Only thing you need is a shield skill and rush maxed and the M16 of ME2.
@TheShortSoldier can you compare this to the first one? but more importantly can you compare it to dragon age origins (gameplay and story telling -wise) because im debating whether or not i should get this to prep for the third installment. thanks for your input, much appreciated.
@Spleenatron9 lol no Black Ops isn't bad but it's boring. The campaign was mediocre and made no sense and the ay they changed the MP from MW2 also the graphics are worse than MW2.
@TheShortSoldier actually i was just being sarcastic, but while we're on this topic, i like the multiplayer in BO better than MW2. i don't know why. probably because everybody snipes in MW2 and some of them aren't good at it either. i just find it annoying.
This, and red dead redemption, are the two greatest experiences a man could ever have. Thanks for doing this playthrough Xcal, I am gonna watch every single one.
@XENINDSX Mass Effect is one of the most exciting, well made games of all time, proven by its staggering amount of GotY wins. To say its not challenging causes me to believe that you've never played it. Even on the easiest difficulty its not a game where you can just run in and shoot every AI that moves. You'll get your ass handed to you.
@xcalizorz Y'know what's odd? I've been told that playing Vanguard on Insanity is exponentially harder than playing Infiltrator on Insanity, but when I switched from my usual Infiltrator to the Vanguard, I actually had it EASIER than usual.
Love the mass effect series. ME2 was my first , after completing it i bought me1 just to finish and import into me2 and doing it over again, probably have replayed it 5-6 times easy.
Any xcal visions in finishing your Fallout New Vegas Play-through? Or did the all mighty "loading screens" defeat the all amazing Bruce A.K.A the mask crusader.
@ak47popper ..... Xcal just finished his Batman play-through hence the mask crusader remark...... If you don't get what I previously said by now... all hope is lost.
@TheLegitNick Did you not read the section directly above the comment box? You know, the one that is labeled, "Uploader Comments (xcalizorz)" Obviously not since xcal explains how the game actually wasn't over....
If it wasn't too late I would tell you to play it on PC. Better for the adept class because you don't have to press RB for your other powers. (P.S it's more beneficial to go paragon in me2)
believe me i've considered it, but there are just too many annoyances with pc recording for my liking. i'll take the ezmode console way thank you much!
@xcalizorz By the way Bruce, have you played Dragon Age Origins? It's made by Bioware and the story is amazing. I'm not sure if you like the medieval setting though...
@xcalizorz Hey xcal are you a fan of the Elder Scrolls at all? I just though with Skyrim coming out soon that maybe you would do a playthrough of that, that would be pretty awesome
@bballer9520 Because it's a direct sequel to ME2, you might be a bit confused with the story, but you'll understand it as you play it. So, no, you don't need to play ME1.
Also, not true Xcal. You can have Liara too, and given that Kaidan is as you said, Mr Generic, and Ashley is far too bitchy, Liara's the only choice. :P
i'm in the process of installing this to my xbox 360, so that i can actually play it for the first time.... you and kootra have inspired me to play it! no joke, i got this game near its release date, and haven't even gotten past the armor customization terminal...
