Felt like this should be shared. I tend to binge watch Watchmojo on YouTube. Though I do have a difference of opinion with them concerning this list. Of course, that's part of the fun, as at the end of every video they ask what you disagree with.
My biggest quip is that Vigil isn't even on the list. And I would rank the #9 Moment much higher on my own personal list. I also find the #1 choice to be quite predictable (albeit understandable)
What do you and don't you agree with?
Pretty good list, though I personally feel the conversation with Sovereign should've been a lot higher.
Vigil's not on there? Not worth watching. Thanks for saving me the time.
it's still a respectable list minus that glaring omission. Though any list of something so beloved is sure to be scrutinized. Which, as I said , is part of the fun and Watchmojo welcomes it.
Actually that's a good point, Vigil should be on there. I know it's not my personal list, but come on now.
Vigil is absent but somehow Leaving Earth snuck onboard the list and ME2s intro made it to #3 lol.
Never change Watchmojo.
watchmojo is cancer to youtube, and the world

YA how dare they share an opinion that conflicts with other peoples preconceptions. Shameful

That ironically sounds like a typical youtuber comment.

I stated in the OP that it's absence was my biggest issue with the list, by far. It'd be top 3 on my list, easily. Another snub that would also be high on my list is meeting Leviathan (but I understand that's not a unanimously epic moment amongst fans). It's one of my favorite moments of all 3 games.
the only moment I agree with is Sovereign and the suicide mission

Watchmojo have a huge bonner for ME2. They include it in pretty much anything they can, best theme, best final mission, etc
Also, yes, not having Vigil is a crime. There's a reason they keep using this theme troughout the whole trilogy.
I found the #2 like wtf that is one of the press the "I win" button moments that ruin ME3 and they makes it sound like the save them both choice is hard to obtain it is almost 100% guaranteed if you make rational choices over both ME2 and ME3.
Number #1 was one of the worse moments in the franchise for me because it was the first time we have evidence that the writers had created the cost free victory outcome. That they showed they were afraid to create an outcome that at its best wasn't unicorns and rainbows.
Mordin's death is a great example of how to write in a scripted death and Virmire is a great example how to write a choice with real consequences, death. Where there are no paths to a "perfect" outcome.
Meeting sovereign and vigil are both in the top three for me I'd almost put them as a tie for number 1. I go back and forth as to which was the most impactful.
But these are subjective and what is impactful to me isn't impactful to others and I am guessing that if you didn't play the games as a series the impacts will be different. What i mean by series is when I ply ME i always start with the previous game then play the current one. So when Me2 came out i played ME1 first and when i finished I started me2. Now I obviously start playing the earlier games before the current game is released so I am ready on release day but my playthrough is of the series not the current game with a save from the previous game that I haven't played in years or months. Obviously when ME3 came out i started with Me1, then immediately jumped to Me2 then started me3. It was actually playing the series like this that convinced me the ME2 while the most liked of the series is the weakest written of the series. You can removed Shepard from the story and put in any Human commander and poof nothing ruins the story. You can't remove Shepard from Me3 or Me1 because Shepard is the first spectre so is required in me1 and me3 is when all of Shepard's warnings come true. Yet Me2 really doesn't need Shepard, Jacob or Miranda could have been in command and it would have worked fine story wise.

For me Vigil's theme is the Mass Effect theme. When i think Mass effect i think of this score.

I think of it as one of the main themes of the Shepard Trilogy. And I would really like it to remain unique to those 3 games.
The only musical score I want to return for ME:A is Uncharted Worlds (the Galaxy Map theme). Charting my course across the cosmos without hearing that therapeutic entrancing music would be sacrilege.
the only moment I agree with is Sovereign and the suicide mission
I would've put Sovereign's revelation in the Top 5 at the very least.
Yeah, #8 I didn't really think deserved to be on the list at all. #9, yeah, I would've placed that much much higher. I do agree with #1 though. I still cry my eyes out whenever I play that.
I agree about Vigil. Another moment I would have liked to see on the list is the opening to the first game.
I disagree with quite many in the list, though there is some I agree with like Joker's mission and Suicide mission and Geth & Quarian conflict.. and Citadel party and romances.. okay I agree with quite many, but not all 
I'd switch Mordin's death with Thane's death, but I guess that is up to which characters you feel close with.
I had to actually google Vigil to find out what people are talking about, but I agree, I think Vigil was best explaining what is on the stake and make threat of reapers more pressing. I hate Vigil's theme though. I didn't find meeting with Sovereign being moment that needed to be in the list.
And the scene with Anderson and Illusive Man should have made it out to nominations to the list ^^
Lol Watchmojo. It's a pretty poor channel but I do agree that for some bingewatching, if you don't take it all too seriously it's entertaining. Thanks for the link 
I actually thought it was one of the better watchmojo lists. Of course it's always a personal thing to make a top 10 and I don't agree with all, but not bad.
WTF, no Biotic God on the list?!
Vigil's not on there? Not worth watching. Thanks for saving me the time.
What's so great about Vigil? It amounts to a codex entry. Not feeling it, sorry.
By and large a pretty good list. Mordin's ME2 singing sequence only getting an honorable mention though? Weak.
Retour en haut
