Yeah Kasumi was mostly a bench player for me next time she might actually get some burn nowOn my insanity run rn and died 6 times on the platform part. Had Grunt and a loyal Miranda with me but they were getting slumped by the scion, Harbinger combo. Plus the collectors just laying down overwhelming fire on our position. Couldn't even pop up to shoot without getting my shields ate through and I'm a level 30 soldier.
Had to reload my save and pick a new squad. Ran with Kasumi and Grunt 2nd time around. Learned online that Kasumi's flashbang grenade renders guns and biotics useless for a time and it has a quick cooldown. Swept through Harbinger with her because he couldn't use his biotics. Used that time to wittle down the scion while the squad handled the collectors. Took out Harbinger and now we off the platform part.
I never used Kasumi in past playthroughs but she just entered the Garrus, Grunt, Miranda tier for me. That flashbang is severely overpowered but on insanity idgaf. We aint died yet.

Javik was outstanding, and he's also one of the reasons we got the shytty endings. He was going to be the catalyst that killed the reapers, but EA decided to make him DLC content instead.

If we keeping it a buck!
Mass Effect 1 was an Xbox exclusive bioware ported over to Playstation.
I was working at the Newnan Jcpenny when it launched a d I had to walk from the job under the I-75 overpass to the GameStop to buy it launch day (cause my terrorist stepbrothers wouldn't let me have the car that day), and it said only on Xbox 360 on the box!!

Since I never got into Call Of Duty I didn't realize how racist the gaming community was until ME2. The ME community tried to act like they weren't racist against Jacob, then those same people zeroed in on Liam in ME Andromeda. 
Tbf, Jacob was a trash character. Lame story and horrible stats. Way to weak to use as he was built.Since I never got into Call Of Duty I didn't realize how racist the gaming community was until ME2.

Also, if you follow any of his advice, you get a bad outcome in ME2.

There is no tbf. You had cacs talking about replaying the suicide mission over & over just to send him into the vents. His story was no different than all the other daddy issue stories that plagued Mass Effect. Zaeed was more boring than Jacob imo, which is why I usually let him die during his loyalty mission.

I thought I was the only one who notices that 
Beat part 1 when it first came out years ago and played like one-third of part 2. Replaying now, just beat part one all over again and now on part 2. Man ME2 blows one out of the water and its not even close

ME1 story is much better than 2&3, but the characters put 2 above the rest.Beat part 1 when it first came out years ago and played like one-third of part 2. Replaying now, just beat part one all over again and now on part 2. Man ME2 blows one out of the water and its not even close
Agreed. alt-right terrorists were going to be volatile towards Jacob regardless, he'd simply be an afterthought like Zaeed if he wasn't black.
The concept/issues with Jacob's character is nothing new: whenever devs create a character that's essentially a paragon duplicate of the mc... they either gotta age him up (Captain Anderson), kill him off (Zack in og FF7), or make him significantly boring/lame (Wyll in bg3) so that there's a clear distinction.
It's why the mc in most stories often look like a Mahomes/Brady star QB with his companions mostly women (who all fall in love with him), and any male companions being too old/goofy/nerdy/violent/monstorous/etc to steal his girl or be the real protag. Whereas Jacob was a NFL QB type: young, even-keel, experienced marine, already fukked Miranda, had Kasumi gushing over him, etc.
