Mass Effect 2 in 15 minutes - No Death Ruleset, Edited in Cinematic Fashion (720HD)

This video is nearly all of Mass Effect 2 re-edited in 15 minutes depicting a no death style ruleset with deep, heart pounding scifi music.  The game was played from a PURE paragon point of view with some controversial decisions.

Will you accept the challenge?

It's your turn guys, currently in underground gaming exists a no dying ruleset for games that deserve this style of play.  Epic games deserve epic gameplay.  With enough support maybe we can get the no death ruleset added into Mass Effect 3.

No Death Ruleset

- No Dying, if Shepard dies you start the game over. Example if you're 30 hours in and you die, YOU'RE DEAD, you're done. Delete career and start over.
- No Pausing, completely in real time.  Shepard can't pause so why should you?
- Acceptable levels of difficulty: Casual, Normal, Veteran 
- (Yes you can take breaks as many as you want lol)

Imagine how it feels 20-30 hours in the game? Every victory becomes ten times more exciting.  Every challenge you overcome means a lot more since you risk certain death.  Your entire gameplay style will change, your perspective will change, you will see the story and all its characters in a completely new light.   Blur the lines between cutscene and gameplay. You will become highly involved in every adrenaline fueled fight and every emotional cutscene.

You'll be surprised what you're capable of when so much pressure and adrenaline is coursing through your body.

Once you experience the no death ruleset with a complete playthrough you will NEVER ever accept the death of your character ever again. You will be addicted to this ruleset.

Think about it? You die, you learn, you reload, BORING.   Why not attempt to overcome every scenario in the game the first time you experience it?  

Please give it a try and when you succeed come back to this post and share your results.  I PROMISE you the most epic experience you'll ever have in a single player game.  Start with casual.  Even on casual you will feel a huge amount of pressure halfway through the game that just makes everything ten times more exciting!  If you're an experienced FPS player I suggest normal.  If you're a biotic god then attempt Veteran.

Good luck and I hope this playstyle/rulset catches on in the gaming world.

Sorry but I have a job, a family, friends and a house to take care of to spend all my hours playing and replaying mass effect 2 without pausing good luck though.

[Skarwael]

No breaks allowed?

Do you have to do the whole game in one sitting?

Same here, job, friends a house.  I played Mass Effect 1 no death ruleset over a period of about a year casually.  No excuses.   Actually if you truly respect your limited time you would experience the game in the most epic way you could.  Try it.  Do one hour a week no death.

You can even have two characters. One where you play for fun with no pressure and one no death ruleset character.

OMG, of course you can take breaks. You can play an hour a week if you want.

what about when I have to pee? Do I wear a diaper or do I just stand still and die in a firefight?

That's ok then, I thought at first when I read your post "Wow! Even I wouldn't be able to do that!

[Da_Lion_Man]

TC makes this challenge sound compelling.

But you mean that if you die somewhere around the 9 hour mark you'll have to start all over again? O_o Or can you reload your saves?
Dead Space 2 on hardcore is hard enough for me lol.

Yes all over again, delete career, restart.  But you have to ask yourself how will you feel if you succeed? It's the most epic feeling ever. Up there with any type of risk either physical or mental.

No pausing runs contrary to the game design. How could you activate powers? Adept, Sentinel, and Engineer would be screwed.

Hotkeys, no? 

[Whereto]

op, are u the guy that complete normal dif with out deaths and posted it on the forum

[Paragon Gabriel]

Hahaha, imagine you being in the ending of the game and then you see one enemy and think "It's just one collector, I take this guy down with my handgun", and then you accidently fail and dun dun dun, start over

[xentar]

I prefer turn-based combat.

[naledgeborn]

What if you save Arrival for last post-SM and you die in fight for your life?

So basically it doesn't work on the xbox :/

Anyway I don't mind this whole no death thing myself, but personally I prefer to play very differently. It's more fun for me to take chances and see what I can get away with. If I die, no big deal.

Oh. And I think if you challenge people to play the game with no deaths, you should allow the higher difficulties as well. I don't get this part about only allowing the easy difficulties.

Unless there's a way to remove pyro's in game and Hammerhead is NOT included, I'm out.

Because that's the most tedious "challenge" ever made in video game history. Repeat entire stage because of 1 ahole that tricked you.

How about we raise the stakes: died in the game, kill yourself.

[CroGamer002]

^Deal.

[marshalleck]

Meh. I'd just play Demons' Souls instead, since every gameplay mechanic is designed to be pretty hardcore by today's lax, casual "everyone can win" standards.

I can't get through Mass Effect 2 without my Shepard glitching out and getting stuck standing on top of cover during a firefight and subsequently dying, so this challenge would be hopeless.

Very cool vid.

I think Bethesda had quite a successfull  'hardcore' ruleset in FA:NV that was available at all difficulty levels. So I would certainly welcome a similar no-death ruleset to ME3. The old mechanics of realism options, independent of difficulty is something I'd love to see back in gaming.


A practical question, how do you assign hotkeys without pausing? I assume you allow yourself pausing at the start of a mission for preparation?

Yes there are points where you HAVE to pause (not during combat) just so you can drag powers to the hotkey bar and change your squad mates weapons.  But once the fight is in progress you never pause.

Demon's souls gets respect, it's brutal from what I hear!

Happened to me four times. Press escape as soon as it happens and reload.  I didn't wait around to die, as soon as it happens reload fast.

The second you see a pyro overload it or hit it with the engineer ability that one shots it.   If I pyro gets in close on me I throw up barrier fast and try to stun him in anyway possible. As an adept i'll throw a shockwave, singularity or even a warp to stun him back while I make distance. 

Do Overlord first, that is what I did. Get the hard stuff out of the way.

I'm doing arrival today for the first time, I have no idea what that is, but are you telling me SHEPARD DIES again?! NOOOOO that would ****** me off... Do you get critical mission failure?  Uuggh..

Yea people who play hardcore/insanity with pausing get respect, it's like a hardcore chess match still very challenging.

Drag to hotbar and activate them in realtime.

[Empiro]

I feel that ME series is not the type of game to do a "no death run". You need more of an open world type game where you can run away from combat or avoid it altogether. If you want to try it, I recommend doing it on one of Bethesda's games.

I actually tried it and succeeded in not dying once in Fallout NV (on my first try, no less). I plan to at least attempting it on Skyrim.
