My dad played games with me on Nintendo, Gameboy, computer, Old Doom, Duke Nukem, some of my oldest memories are watching him game. I'm 40 now and we still play Xbox, mostly stuff like Halo, Borderlands, Remade Quake 1 and 2, he's even played ME series.
This is one of the first themes you hear in the game. I remember it playing right before the first mission on Eden Prime when I was first introduced to the awe-inspiring world of Mass Effect.
I was driving in the car with my mother, this video was playing on the radio. Mom said that the music seemed to be calm, but it caused anxiety, as if it foreshadowed something terrible. She knew nothing about Mass Effect and the Reapers. The composer is a GENIUS, so he can convey the entire plot of the game in short music.
I just wanted to share something with you. Thanks a bunch for these ambience tracks. They helped me tremendously during my finals. I have a master's degree now, and it's hugely thanks to these ambience tracks. I just played this one + Normandy engineering deck and it made me feel like I was doing some sort of logistics for next Shepard's mission. Anyways, thanks again and take care.
I was very happy to find this, and genuinely appreciate you posting it. This particular theme isn't very popular for some reason, and most of the version online are of somewhat low quality for one reason or another. And never come with perfectly looped animations like your videos do. I still remember when I finally got to play Mass Effect 2- the introduction cutscene RIGHT when this music kicks in again on the SR-1 I got actual nostalgia chills. Before it gets thoroughly eviscerated but that's beside the point. Cheers!
I loved this theme because made me feel that space opera ambient. It helps the role-playing. Also sounds mysterious just like the whole game is. We don't really know at this point what is happening, why is Saren screwing us over, or what the reapers want. this game is the best opening and is very much appreciated that they created a big galaxy history and characters to tell a story.
It makes the game feel more immersive. The other games became less engaging because Bioware narrowed the level design and because they had fewer tracks such as this, probably to make the series faster-paced and more action-oriented.
Commander Shepard, something uncomfortable has just come up. During the First Contact War we fired a lot of espionage probes into Turian space. We just received a mission complete burst from one of them.
Counciller Tevos: "Commander, do NOT cut me off like last time. I fail to find it amusing." Shepard: (cuts transmission) "Whoops!" Joker: "Aaaaaand we're out."
I don't get why they removed this track (as well as others) from ME2 and ME3. Hearing nothing but ambient engine rumbling in the background really lowered in the immersiveness and excitement from the trilogy.
One of my favorite themes from the game, and the whole soundtrack from ME 1 is the best in my opinion, and still Mass Effect 1 is my favorite in the series.
Ah man, it felt good running around in the original Normandy after not having played ME1 for many, many years. I have played the second one probably the most I have out of any game, and the third one many times as well. I do hate that slow ass elevator though. Noveria is great as well
I took it off once and switched it back immediately. All the character models looked like plastic GI Joe action figures. When games are done right they can easily get away with sub par graphics
Tbh I have no idea why they didn’t bring this back for the Alliance version of the Normandy in ME3. I hated the Normandy in that game. I swear it seemed like there was a total of about 8 people working on it. Lonely and dull. Music would have made it a much better atmosphere.
Yeah it does feel a lot smaller in ME 3. Even though I would get totally lost on the Normandy in ME 1 I much prefer it compared to the other two games.
Parts of the ME soundtrack sound similar to the original Nightmare on Elm Street soundtrack. I wonder if it was inspired by the movie's soundtrack. th-cam.com/video/gZPeTcE1Z0k/w-d-xo.html
I keep hearing a distinct series of beeps and boops from a game called Tribes 2 and I can't hear it in the Ambience only version of the Normandy CIC. Did you add that yourself or is this a pure capture from ME? Here's the clearest clip of it I can get, but I doubt you'll recognize it unless you've also played Tribes: th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxdcqUpt9uEwbwUnlK8d1ZEzo2ccn6hZy3
I played a demo of Tribes I think from PC Gamer back in the day lol. But nope, this is all from Mass Effect. Never added anything extra. Not sure the exact location I recorded the audio in that room, probably near some terminal or something.
@@GamingAmbience I'll go hunting for it! Thanks for these videos btw. You're the reason I tried ME and it's been an amazing experience. All the best in the new year!
Played me1 for the first time last year one of the first rpg genre games ive played……on le never played the games prior couldnt get this out of my head playing the game finished me3 2 days ago Trilogy overall 8/10 Me1 8/10 sure the plot is a bit basic but the twist of the cycle was amazing saren was great Me2: 7/10 very cookie cutter in its get a team assembled for a villain also being forced to work for your enemy (kina like the movie suicide squad) more a stepping stone for the third game Me3: 9/10 loved this game only reason its not 10/10 it felt short imo and also the ending was a bit anti climactic also its on me cuz i kinda goofed up in the order i did misisons lol gonna replay the trilogy but overall it just is so surprising they made andromeda (which i wont play cuz i hear its bad and has nothing to do with the trilogy) yet didnt make me4 cuz shepards alive in the secret ending Overall: will replay all 3 overall as a trilogy really damn good. Must reccomend it to anyone tryna get in the rpg genre.

Lookin' for supplies?
Let's see what you got.
You bet commander.
I still remember my first Christmas with ME1, eating cookies and roaming around the SR-1. Priceless!
Thank you for these!!!
My Christmas gift was ME1. My mother got it for me because she read "Mars Effect."
@@mattstorm360 A fortunate mistake! :)
@@mattstorm360 that's such a mom thing to do😭😭
@@mattstorm360 funny how that mistakes goes along with the actual lore of the Effect )
When I was younger, my parents used to tell me that I would regret playing videogames when I would have become an adult. They're wrong
Well, it depends on what games you played.
And how much it's detracted from other, important work.
THEY WERE SO WRONG BECAUSE SOCIETY IS MORE IGNORANT THAN GAMERS THEMSELVES.

I've been gaming for 25 years, and I'm in the same boat. Don't regret it one bit.
"Shepard."
"Wrex."
This is one of the first themes you hear in the game. I remember it playing right before the first mission on Eden Prime when I was first introduced to the awe-inspiring world of Mass Effect.
Oh that classic Mass Effect 1 immersion!!! I love it!
Character animation was really good in this game for its time.
Better than Andromeda lmaooooo
The voice acting was waaayy too good. I thought this was the standard for a long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed a lot
Very good, I loved it. Still do
Reminds me of Quest for Glory IV, how that was one of the first games with good voice acting.
And back when Jennifer Hale could actually act.
Facial expressions as well, specially liara

It inspires science, discovery but also preparation and war room militarism. Its perfect.
Always loved this track. Perfect placement and sci-fi feel. Makes me feel like I’m right back at home in the Normandy.
Playing ME2 now right after finishing ME1 and definitely miss this playing while on the Normandy.
Good luck shepard!
@@coinsagE46m3 I sometimes play it in my headphones on loop while I’m on the Normandy just for old times sake
I always intensify my eyebrows and slow jog through the house and sorta stare off at nothing to this.
that's a good move, I usually just put random elevators in slow mode and ride them up and down for a couple of minutes
I just stand in a corner staring intensely at the wall like I've left the controller on the couch.
The Mass Effect trilogy contains some of the best music and ambience in any game series in history. Just impeccable.
Remember that time when I told you about how the Turians almost wiped out my people. That was fun
So long Wrex

To quote another great sci-fi saga... "I'll be in my bunk".
We'll bang ok

"Aye aye, Commander."
The music playing when I'm browsing the map with where I'm going to order food from.
Oh my heart...Is that Pressly in the back....Poor sob, did not deserve such an ending.
*boom* aargg! Press- *boom*

Quiet and calm work environment they have, must be nice. My co-workers never stop talking.
😂👍 right

Nothing beats ME1 atmosphere
Is this Mass Effect is like Star Wars and Star Trek?
I don't get why they removed this track (as well as others) from ME2 and ME3. Hearing nothing but ambient engine rumbling in the background really lowered in the immersiveness and excitement from the trilogy.
Love how this is so crisp and clear. Love having this just humming in the background.. I wonder if Tali is busy?..
Such a cozy wonderful theme for being aboard a spaceship on an adventure with cool aliens hunting down a mysterious villain.
Excellent uploads Gaming Ambience. ME1's music is the sort of stuff you can listen to on loop for ages.
One of my favorite themes from the game, and the whole soundtrack from ME 1 is the best in my opinion, and still Mass Effect 1 is my favorite in the series.
Message coming in, big surprise the alliance needs you again!
Even tho I played ME1 this year I still feel sense of nostalgia listening to this.
These are great! Can you do Mass Effect 1 Citadel Normandy docking bay?
Yeah I'll for sure do a lot on the Citadel including the dock, just not exactly sure when I'll get to it.
Gaming Ambience Awesome!
Awesome as usual!
Ah man, it felt good running around in the original Normandy after not having played ME1 for many, many years. I have played the second one probably the most I have out of any game, and the third one many times as well. I do hate that slow ass elevator though.
Noveria is great as well
Ah man found this one! Thanks :)
Holy shit Mass effect 1 looks amazing without the Wired Grainy filter.
If you don't play Mass Effect 1 with the film grain ON, then you're lost lmao
I took it off once and switched it back immediately. All the character models looked like plastic GI Joe action figures. When games are done right they can easily get away with sub par graphics
Always great
This is my favorite theme
I want to see this redone when Legendary Edition comes out with a new hd animation loop 👀

Expanded Galaxy Mod adds is back in
So I just realized that computers/personal terminals in the ME universe have just one color... ORANGE. =_____=
There has to be a scientific reason for that.

Trilogy overall 8/10
Me1 8/10 sure the plot is a bit basic but the twist of the cycle was amazing saren was great
Me2: 7/10 very cookie cutter in its get a team assembled for a villain also being forced to work for your enemy (kina like the movie suicide squad) more a stepping stone for the third game
Me3: 9/10 loved this game only reason its not 10/10 it felt short imo and also the ending was a bit anti climactic also its on me cuz i kinda goofed up in the order i did misisons lol gonna replay the trilogy but overall it just is so surprising they made andromeda (which i wont play cuz i hear its bad and has nothing to do with the trilogy) yet didnt make me4 cuz shepards alive in the secret ending
Overall: will replay all 3 overall as a trilogy really damn good. Must reccomend it to anyone tryna get in the rpg genre.
