@@Pax.TH-cam Mass Effect 1 gunplay is better without striping it of it's rpg rng mechanics. Something that Mass Effect 2 and 3 does which makes them feel more generic. I can now say ME1 is the best looking game in the trilogy now. The latter two games especially ME3 has a different art style and atmosphere. I never liked the art style and character model changes in the third game. I really wish they brought ME3 to look more like the other two games instead of the other way around. The faces in ME3 are off and the remaster doesn't change that. ME1 is even better than ever but my problems with ME2 and ME3 are far too large to ever be addressed in a remaster. The original is still the best game in the series. I didn't like how so much of what the first game had was tossed out. The gameplay,tone,atmosphere and narrative all took a turn for the worse. The Collecters are unnecessary and I hate that Cerberus is everywhere in thie third game and how you're forced to work with them in the second game. They're the two worst things about the series because they take too much time away from the setup of the first game.
Mass Effect 1 had a strong atmosphere and vibe that ME2/ME3 could not recapture. All the ME games are amazing, but there's just something that ME1 has that the other games don't.
It was ambience music and the music in general that mass effect 1 did much better then 2 and 3, it had this type of electric music in some areas that genuinely felt like you were in space compared to mass effect 2 and 3s mainstream action copy music
Mass Effect has far better atmosphere writing and world building. It's sequels were mindless shooter fests that gutted the plot and world building this had set up. Worse nothing they ever did ever came close to what we lost.
I missed that. It gave even the side mission a sense of urgency without it feeling like it was forcing you into it. In the sequels you just stumble into side missions.
I think it was on rotation in Mass Effect 2. I faintly remember checking the songs on the sound system, hearing this and going "Eeeeehh." maybe I'm misremembering things, but I'm confident about this.
It should have been. Unfortunately the later games wanted to not be constrained by the original scifi universe of me1 and decided to blaze their own path and we ended up with generic cliche filled action scifi .
Now playing Andromeda and every *ucking time I'm on Tempest I am waiting for this theme to kick in but then I remember Shepherd,Liara,Urdnot,Garrus and other team members are already 600 years dead and it hits in feelings :(
I fucking love this tune. Never have I come across a piece of music that so perfectly reflects the mood of what you're about to encounter. A dark, serious, yet futuristic anthem of command as you drift through space with an increasing sense of urgency.
Saren No problem mate, I also loved the original but wanted more. Searched the internet and found some but nothing good enough imo, so I though wth I'll just make it myself.
It would be fine for a morning alarm call, but as much as I LOVE the music of all Mass Effect games, having this play in the station 24/7 would eventually drive them damn insane!
Once I was super sick, lying in bed not able to move, with agony inside of my body. This theme was stuck in my head, felt like I was about to die, yet this kept me going
I remember starting this game back in 2009 at the behest of my late good friend, after playing an hour or so, I was relatively unimpressed and told him I was going to stop. He insisted. Pleaded even. "Just keep playing it.. trust me".. and I'll forever be grateful.. for once it had it's hooks in, it became the very best gaming experience of my life (still unmatched even today), in no small part to the momentous soundtrack. ❤
No it doesn't. Bioware intentionally made them annoying to tempt players to doing it. I really wish we could do that to the non-character The Illusive Man. Besides just at the end.
Synthwave didnt originate in ME. Its been a genre for well over 30 years. But it really started to blow up around 04-05. how is stragner things btw? Looks like a show I would like. Based on the setting alone.
End of 2023 here, meaning full 16 (SIXTEEN!) years of technological progress since this game was released. And still, this music is unrivaled when it comes to matching the overall mood and feel of the level. 🎵🪐🌟
god i love this theme from the beginning with that little beat it has from the pauses throughout the song. it really captures the mysteriousness of the galaxy and the fear of chasing saren
AH FINALLY!! I've been wanting this theme to be extended. I still want it to play for longer than this, but it's better than the minute and a half versions I've seen floating around.
Really felt like this was sorely missing from the next 2 games. I get that it was maybe a bit too much for the tone of them, but maybe a remix would have made it work really well. It just felt so lonely without it. Everytime I come out of the map screen, I just find myself mimicking a corrupted version of this theme, simply because of how badly it got stuck in my mind/I miss it.
Mass Effect is the only game that made the hub sounding like a real war room, to focus, study the next approach and learn. I hear that music I immediately get the serious dialogue mode.
It's only been a year since I got into Mass Effect but this already makes me so wistful... then again it's because Mass Effect 2 and 3 really have nothing to compare to this and the Collector themes and Sovereign's Theme don't make me wistful so much as excited.
This was just a little quirk of my playthrough, but I always imagined that the Quarter Master also doubled as the driver for the Mako. It made sense to me, since on some planets you went into a facility in one end and came out the side and the Mako would suddenly be right outside with you. He's kind of like the 7th squad member, like the 5th Beatle, since you never saw him in action.
It would be so epic to travel onboard the real SSV Normandy through vastness of the universe among countless stars and planets with that song playing in the background, but sadly this isn't possible 😞😖.
Sure it is. It's happening somewhere in the multiverse. Until we figure out how to put you there, how much simulation are you willing to accept as a life? Ready Player One is a good suggestion of how that might work.
This game without question has the best Normandy music. It also has the best Normandy design. I can never remember the Normandy music in ME2 even when I'm on a playthrough of it. ME3 doesn't even have any music on the Normandy. Hell in the war room you can hear chatter from Vigil. That absolutely needs to be fixed in the remaster.
It would be so cool being on the real Normandy, cruising among countless planets and stars with that music playing in every part of spaceship ☺️, it really has that feeling of going into unknown, especially from 2:20 on.
This music give me a sadness nostalgia when i play my life was a shit except for the happiness to play ME1. In fact this soundtrack is the perfect spacesong i have heard.
The remaster has made this game even better via its minor tweaks. This was already one of my favorite games but now even more so. Mass Effect 2 and 3 are still so disappointing to me for various reasons.

Bruh they even had the fucking Legendary Edition to bring this theme back in the jukebox
It should never have been removed as the Normandy theme to beging with.
I knew clicking on this video was going to make me want to play this game again for the twelfth time... Time to boot up the X-Box.
Thanks for making this, this was one of my favourite songs in the game but I always felt that it was too short.
Saren No problem mate, I also loved the original but wanted more. Searched the internet and found some but nothing good enough imo, so I though wth I'll just make it myself.
+Ulfberht can you upload the furniture store theme in ms3 dlc
Whenever i listen to this, i feel like im aboard a space ship
Rest in piece, Normandy SR-1...
I love and miss that ship all of the time. Its probably why I play (re-play) Mass Effect 1 so much.
A nice background music for a NASA space station... or any other agency :P
Would be cool but I doubt they'd do it :P
You never know. For a while, the astronauts on the ISS got woken up by the opening theme to Star Trek: Enterprise playing on the alarm system.
Patrick Schulz Woah that's very cool! Nice to really get them into the spacey mood
They were also awakened by Duran Duran "Is There Something I Should Know" :D A perfect way to start the day
It would be fine for a morning alarm call, but as much as I LOVE the music of all Mass Effect games, having this play in the station 24/7 would eventually drive them damn insane!

".......That never gets old does it?.."
No it doesn't. Bioware intentionally made them annoying to tempt players to doing it. I really wish we could do that to the non-character The Illusive Man. Besides just at the end.
So the stranger things composer must have been playing a shit ton of mass effect when trying to create the theme of the show
when you're in the show and can only think of ME
I just started watching this show. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who felt this way lol
Synthwave didnt originate in ME. Its been a genre for well over 30 years. But it really started to blow up around 04-05.

ToasterNinja it's pretty good! Just finished the first season.

The original ME trilogy were each a masterpiece in their own right, and I don't think they'll ever be other games like them.
"You're kidding why would anyone want Krogan testicles?"
Nice loop to have playing in the background in ME2 or ME3 while you bop about the SR2 Normady as well.

"Wrex"

"
I'm commander Shepard and this is my favourite store on the citadel"

Yes.
However I find that the illusive man's theme is pretty good
i play this while im on the tempest
The fact that you got on the tempest is baffling to me. That tripe is not Mass Effect.
Mass Effect 2 and 3 never came close enough to topping the feel of Mass Effect 1.
The first 2 Mass Effects will always mean something special to me across all entertainment.
