Fantastic. Trully good job, this. I watched it with real pleasure. I've seen somone here critiquing your intro, as being too much,or too spoilery for people who don't know the ME universe. I disagree. I wouln't worry about new audience and people who never played ME in their life. Firstly, this is not made for them. Chances are that they won't end up on this channel anyway. For those that acctually do, well the episode either grips them or not, but rather on merit of whats in it, and not by flashy intro. If they like what they see, they will keep watching , and maybe even play games. If not, bye bye. Oh as for those with attention span of golden fish, who can be reel in only by flashy intro and action flick of constant lasr battle, who cares about them? You loose their attention as quickly as you get it. They wouln'd appreciate if this was made in Hollywood with budget of millions and some stellar cast too. They would just get bored. No reason to cater for that audience. Why do I say that? Because this philosopy of holding hands of newcomers was applied to games. Worrying about accesibility of the game for new players was an axcuse used by EA to pressure Biowere to dumb down ME3 "so it would attract new generation" of youngsters who couln't be bothered to play ME1 and 2, but wanted to start right in the middle of the end. Predictably this approach left real fans angry an dissapointed, while new players weren't all that thrilled with rather midiocre game. Those who got hooked and become fans anyway, ended up playing ME1 and 2 after that anyway. Then they joined army of dissapointed fans demanding better ending and wondering how good ME3 would have been if only EA kept their greedy paws off it. So keep up good work, do it as you envisoned it. For us, fans of ME this is good enough.

So I'm about a 1 minute and a half in and I gotta say the intro betrays your intent in a big way. It's very much made for fans who already know the story and want to see some kind of fan video kind of thing. Mishmashing stuff from ME2 and ME3 and showing a bunch of fan favorite shots in the very first minute of the show is the oddest way of presenting a series for a first timer I've ever seen. ME1 was gradual in it's presentation of aliens and what or who they were. This intro is basically "here's a bunch of 'em all at once!" To be clear I don't think it's bad, it's actually a pretty cool quick music video type thing that's very well made, but yeah when you say "This series is meant to be as *SPOILER FREE* as possible" but you have THAT as your intro... well sorry you gave a bunch already.

Ah, I admit it is one of the first parts of the series I made, so it might have been completed under a different mindset.

To be clear I don't think it's bad, it's actually a pretty cool quick music video type thing that's very well made, but yeah when you say "This series is meant to be as *SPOILER FREE* as possible" but you have THAT as your intro... well sorry you gave a bunch already. Just wanted to leave this comment here before I check out the rest of the vid.
Ah, I admit it is one of the first parts of the series I made, so it might have been completed under a different mindset. I really still don't believe it gives much away under under the assumption these clips have little to no context for a first time viewer, but still gives just enough away to see what the show might be about/generate excitement! However, I see where you're coming from. Thanks for the feedback!
I wouln't worry about new audience and people who never played ME in their life. Firstly, this is not made for them. Chances are that they don't end up on this channel anyway. For those that do, well the episode either grips them or not, but rather on merit of whats in it not its intro. If they like what they see, they will keep watchign , and maybe even play games. If not, bye bye. Oh as for those with attention span of golden fish, who cares about them? They wouln;d appreciate if this was made in Hollywood with budget of millions and some stellar cast too. They would just get bored. No reason to cater for that audience. Why do I say that? Because this philosopy of holding hands of newcomers was applied to games. Worrying about accesibility of the game for new players was an axcuse used by EA to pressure Biowere to dumb down ME3 "so it would attract new generation" of youngsters who couln't be bothered to play ME1 and 2, but wanted to start right in the middle of the end. Predictably this approach left real fans angry an dissapointed, while new players weren't all that thrilled with rather midiocre game. Those who got hooked and become fans anyway, ended up playing ME1 and 2 after that anyway. Then they joined army of dissapointed fans demanding better ending and wondering how good ME3 would have been if only EA kept their greedy paws off it.
This was awesome! Really like how you handled some of the more “gamey” aspects of the story. I really like a lot of the exposition dumps being moved to other characters. Hope you keep this up. This must have taken a lot of effort also don’t be discouraged by low view count.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. I tried hard to make it focused on more than just Shepard 100% of the time. Episode 2 has some really creative changes that took a long time to organize, so hopefully you'll be back next Friday!
SpaceBengal, I really enjoyed watching this, so I hit the like button!
Well... even after watching it over several times I still missed a (not-so-small) mistake. The actual release date is MAY 31, 2024 (not March, oops)
Nice!! Still holding out hope for Shep/Ashley but this seems so good I’ll be able to stomach any romance
Thanks :) I hope it lives up to the hype!
Is the first episode coming out this week? It’s almost the end of may
Check out the new trailer :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIh4pbqgqb2foqQ.html
