Every damn time I hear the Suicide mission theme I want to replay Mass Effect, not just 2, but the whole series! Without a doubt my favorite theme from ME :)
When I created my character and played as him for mass effect 1 and 2, there is no other character I can make, he fits the Shephard I see, not even the default one fits in right for me XD
I literally cried at the end of 2 and 3....This is my favorite video game series of all time, if bioware stops now....The can't stop...I need more. This series evoked emotion, simply, it is amazing.
I was so sure at the end of ME2 when my squad all survived andd all those reapers started coming through Dark Space. That Shepard was gonna kick their ass.
However they try to correct the mistake they made with ME3 they'll never be as prominent to their now divided fan base. Alls I want is to import my save and have my asari offspring calling the shots on a new Normandy with Garrus or Joker still going at it. Now old man joker that's something I'd wanna see
Weird how much this could fit with Halo. Don't shame me on this, I just saw a Master Chief figure standing on my shelf and the second half of track 2 started....gave me weird chills. Then I saw Revan, Mandalore, and an army of Clone troopers in the back...got weirder chills.
Jake Hebblethwaite Witcher, Gears of war trilogy, Dragon age... of course, these are franchises and not single games and ive not played all of them, which is why ive probably left out a host of others deserving of these spots
The music to ME1 and ME2 helped make a much stronger emotional connection to the game(s) and their stories; I question if it wasn't for the music whether they the games would have had as great an impact on us all? I for one can not imagine playing either game without the music that accompanied them.
The spin off should follow Thane. And it should play like assassin's creed, except cooler, more badass and filled with hot aliens :P Sere Krios, you were butchered far worse than the me3 ending, poor soul.
The first track isn't Suicide Mission, Suicide Mission is the main theme. The first track is a different version of the end theme from Mass Effect one. And the extra track is called Heart Of Courage-Two Steps From Hell.
Absolutely amazing...the best most unrecognized game in the industry...Cannot wait for the movie; I hope BioWare has their hands deep in it's development.
Sans doute la meilleure musique de tout les mass effect à mon goût. Idéal pour finir un grand jeu comme mass effect 2. Elle va bien avec le contexte de la fin. Très bon choix. Bon c'est pas nouveau que bioware a très bon goût pour les musiques de ses jeux. Après 70h à en baver on a bien le droit à une petite récompense. Enfin à chaque fois que je l'écoute, je me revoie shepard en train de regarder par la fenêtre (trou béant dans le vsx mdr) et on voit les reivers qui arrivent. Tu te dis ouais j'en ai baver mais finalement ça a servi à rien, et ça ouvre sur le 3.
" For a relatively long period in mankinds history Earth was known as the only planet to be able to contamine sentient biological life. But when we were able to put aside our grievances for a united vision, a common goal, achieve something greater for not just one nation, but for all for mankind, fusion technology soon made space colonisation a reality" . Even though the technology necessary to make such invention had existed long before, we had missed the effort, pieces needed scattered faraway
My shepard died, hell my entire universe got whiped clean... reject ending best ending. But the next cycle got them thanks to my hard work and non comprimising 100% paragon shepard
to an end, and that end will all lead to the same place, but what that end is, depends on what you chose. That being said, I do get what your saying too. Eliminate the "ABC choice", and put in ends that are triggered off of your choices in all 3 games, but all in all, its still the ABC choice throughout the whole game, you've just now moved it to all points of the game being ABC. "How do I want the end to be" vs "ABC, how do I want the end to be" Its all in all the same thing.
That still doesnt make a whole lot of sense. A ending is gonna be that.. an ending. Everything you choose up to that point converges to that end point. There is no breaking off of an end point. Its the end.. That being said, they give you multiple choices for the end, and those ends in the expanded version, are in depth. Alot more so than the original ending. Your game in ME2 still effects ME3 through the store, up to the end. Eventually all roads no matter how you lay it out, will have to come
The extended cut fixed nearly everything, and its a damn good ending to the story imo. Just because its not your Ideal perfect ending, or just because its not the stereotypical, hero saves the day all's well, hero lives story thats been done a million times over, doesnt mean its bad, or bullshit. your choices influenced your gameplay all the way up to the ending, and even the ending is influenced by your decisions, (did you take out the geth, or keep them? hint hint). I think the ending is great
That's not a ME2 OST track, and certainly not a hidden one. You just put 3 ME-songs together. From ME1 the reprise, from ME2 the credit song and the last one, that you claim at the hidden song, is just a trailer-song from Two Steps From Hell called "Heart of Courage". But nice try.
What are the conditions for this track to play? I remember hearing this song once at the credits on the original ME2, then never heard again. I played the game a total of 10 times (4x on Legendary Edition) and never heard the song again.
@N7Commando bioware as a company is baisically a master storyteller. it's what they're famous for. give them some credit. everything is already planned and will probably tie in in the last one. I must confess: one of my worst nightmares (in gaming anyway) is that they'll suddenly abandon ME like they did with KotOR...bastards. but they own ME and havent got to deal with lucas arts so ya as for the music, this is a pretty damn epic track, I think the left out part is really good actually, thanks
The question is, if they do consider to set the game after ME3, what ending to they pick as the canon one? And how do you avoid pissing off everyone who chose the different endings? The thing about the mass effect endings is that they can't just be ignored. If the reapers are stil around (control) you would have to make characters for them, and a synthesis ending would require entirely new models for each character, one with and one without the augments. And then what about refusal and destroy
yeah, they cant really go anywhere else with the franchise the only things they can do are shift around events that you hear about in the game i.e. arcaturis station, there has been talk of going to the start of the geth / quarian conflict or the prothian downfall. Personally I reckon they'll want to keep shepard in the game somehow the next game could have shepards son (if you choose a romance option) that way itll feature people from the previous games so everyones happy.
They were good characters, but they belonged in a different game. ME2 should have been about SHEPARD and the characters, not just the characters. ME2 should have been Shepard finding out more about the Reapers. Why didn't his old squadmates focus on the Reaper threat? The Council didn't want to believe Shepard, but Tali, Garrus, Ashley/Kaiden etc all knew about their impending doom. Oh well. "I'll become an admiral and fight the Geth." and "I'll become a vigilante." It doesn't make sense.
No, the ending was just simply bad. A random un-forseen character gives shepard some orders before giving him 3 options for an ending. This isn't what mass effect is about, I'd wager most of mass effect's success when it comes to it's story comes from it's plethora of intereasting characters with backstories, the ending is almost a polar opposite to what it is famous for. The rest of the game wasn't bad, but the catalyst was a poor deus-ex-machina, and the EMS system was worthless.
Agreed. I wanted an ME2-style ending to ME3 where all of the cruisial desicions came into play (who you helped in ME3, what you did with collector base e.c.t) came into play. Also, I wanted to see my war assets helping me in the fight (as opposed to wrex/kirahee giving a speach) and getting better outcome for having certain war assets or making better choices (moral wise, not through paragon/renegade) throughout the trilogy. Instead, starchild. Not even EC fixed this.
Message is not well interpreted. Remember the endings of movies and series such as Inception, Twin Peaks, The X Files, Memento, Shutter Island... I am not glad with my protagonist dead, missing or what else but they are all good maybe perfect. You can choose the end. You can think about it. You can be inspired. But the end of ME3! Confusing my friend. Good to you if you understand it. :)
I bet all they add is the rest of the crew coming out of the crashed normandy onto eden 2.0 Im not going to hold my breath. the whole game seems rather thrown together. i beat it in like what 3 days?! ME2 took atleast a week. maybe it was all that damned mineral mining, wich you got NOTHING for having over 1000000 in each save for EEZO. i felt that they spent all the time on the cinematics and not enough on the game play.
Ok, endings shouldn't have to be fixed though. And there are multiple endings. Here's what's wrong with them: 1). Only variety is in the optimal endings (the big 3), Sheperd has to choose 3 different ways to end it, but they all end up being the same. Even the ending CGI is the same, more or less. 2). Your paragon/renegade and even relationship/friendship choices are rendered moot. 3). For a game that spent so much screen time w/ cameos and tying up strings, nothing was answered. Nonsensical.
I personally think it was EA that drove Biowear to make crappy games I mean Biowear was doing great when they were an independent company but as soon as EA got their grubby hands all of them there was a suddenly and slight crappyness to their games. I don't exactly blame Biowear for all this but they did nothing to protect their Independence which is unforgivable I don't support EA so I don't support Biowear anymore. But I do agree that publishers don't care about fan-base all they want is money
You mean the theories the community came up with on the forums since day 1 (some people blaze through games, they must play on non-veteran/hardcore/insanity modes ;) )? The same community which, for Child's Play charity, raised enough money that spurred BioWare to release the real ending they were too scared to do, as FREE DLC? (Let's face it, it costs tens of thousands to release title updates/patches and even DLC over XBL and PSN, so the free DLC is also a nod for us raising $ for charity).
Who ever said ME3 was gonna have a happy ending? If you've played this series you should know it's anything but sunshine and butterflies. It's a game series about sentient machines sent to wipe out all life in the galaxy. The only way for the cycle to end is for the galaxy to sacrifice it's bravest and finest to stop the horde. Somone's gotta die to make it all end. There was no way Shepherd was going to cheat death in the end of this series.
@Mr108454 depends how you look at it, i love both elder scrolls and mass effect series, that being said bethesda make each elder scrolls game a standalone title, no importing from the previous one and make a new diverse and usually unlinked main story to their new title from their previous one. Mass effect continuous a story and reflects each of your actions, no matter how small. Storywise and for interesting gameplay - mass effect general fun and lots of things to do - elder scrolls
@aLucidMInd usually that's true. sometimes, it isn't. "barely costs anything" well, it costs more in my country than in yours I guess. I always buy the favorites, however I can do it like once a year (video games) and like 2 music CDs DVDs. So tell me, how the sweet mother of mercy should I take the rest? guess what? piracy... like I could download the new Equilibrium (music) cd, but I love it so much that I pay for it. Then I have no money to buy the rest...
Bloody fuckin' Hell, man. I went a website and played every single song [except for the DLC] trying to find a certain one and it isn't there. It's the faint background music that is played at the very start of the N7 "abandoned mine" mission when you first land and it's raining. You have to shoot both bombs to blow up the large shiny object that spawns husks. Ha ha! Figures...
@MissingMandible I don't offer any proof, but I seriously doubt that SOPA would do much against piracy even if it were accepted. After doing some casual research it seems like the games industry is faring quite well as of late. I have in fact read reports stating that games profit has increased. SOPA is about large companies being greedy at the cost of the internet. Whether piracy causes serious harm or not is a discussion for some other time :).
While this song is a nice wrap up, I definitely did not have the same satisfaction as I did the first time I heard ME 1's end credit song by the Faunts. That song was just so perfect for Mass Effect. It would've been really nice if they mimicked the Bourne Identity Series by playing the same song for the end credits on all 3 games. There's just something about it that makes you so pumped. However, the song they played for the final Suicide Mission in ME2 was epic, I LOVE that sequence!

@tomclancy008 true and true, except most krogan are not biotic, biotics unlike how it feels in the games is something that is extremely rare, like a one percent of the population have biotics, unless they are Asari. Krogan were battlemasters, extremely stragetic. Own personal note, Mass Effect is my favorite universe ever, my personal favorite games series and extremely detailed origin orientated books =) remember all my personal taste
@failurbanik Most krogan are biotic vanguards. This means they have that rush ability where they slam into the enemy with all of their might. And don't give me crap on brute force; I've taken their shots as Master Chief, who the Krogan clearly emulate. Krogan are actually intelligent strategists. Read the ME novels. It's just that the AI sucks. And I'm not saying you're rooting for Halo, nor am I a vid game zealot. I own BOTH series, and am trying to buy H:CE on Xbox Live. Don't lump me in.
@failurbanik I hope I'm typing the right thing, because the way you've written that is a little confusing. If you mean the enemies in ME and ME2 don't use strategy, you're wrong: standard infantry keeps you pinned down while their tank assaults your position. It's basic military strategy. Sure, allied AI is frustrating, but that's why you can issue commands to them. And, arguably, the Mass Effect AI is more helpful than the Halo AI: all your guys do is stay in cover. When they do shoot...
@failurbanik So that's why the Viet Cong beat us in Vietnam! Because they had bamboo sticks and semi-automatic weapons! Do you see my point? Equipment does NOT win battles; STRATEGY wins battles. Out thinking your enemies and luring them into traps wins battles. The Empire did not beat the Rebels in Star Wars. The British did not beat the Colonists. The Covenant did not beat Earth (though that has more to do with their Civil War than anything else).
@failurbanik All Master Chief does is jump, hit people with rifles, and throw gren grens. If you're a biotic, Shepard can lift you up and slam you into the ground, rip things off walls and throw them at you, or crush you with biotic power. Master Chief is awesome, but he doesn't stand tall with Shepard, ESPECIALLY when you consider the fact that you can make Shepard a hero or a villain (in temperament, not deeds).
@failurbanik Also, Shepard took down Saren while Saren was on steroids. Armor doesnt matter if you're dumb as a rock and can't use the abilities you've been given. Shepard also took down a thresher maw while on FOOT. Not to mention all the geth Colossi on FOOT. When you consider the bosses the Master Chief takes down, there is no comparison. Badass that Master Chief is, he's not as good as Shepard.
@failurbanik Those "scraps" are mass accelerated projectiles, and hit far harder than normal bullets. The MAC guns in Halo took multiple shots to kill that damn Covie ship. Meanwhile, Sovereign has what amounts to a laser cannon imitation that cut right through the shields of the Destiny Ascension. This is tech that far surpasses anything in Halo, and it takes place almost 400 years before. And before you jump on that, I know they're seperated universes and series.
Mass effect series are the best thing happend to gaming.Mass effect 2 is my favourite game and the 3 will be the best of 2011.the story,music,characters,gameplay ect. a true masterpeace.at the end of the 2-nd game i cryed because it feld so real and dramatic.I have a ps3 and i almost bouht a Xbox just because this game but when heard thats coming out for ps3 i went crazy.Again a masterpeace.Thank you BIOWARE
@callsignjoker It was mainstreamed, and for the better. I reckon it is a little more linear than the first game, but you have more things to focus on - Like upgrading your ship to the max and increasing your side-characters' loyalty so that everyone stays alive at the end. It would have been a pain in the ass to do all that while trying to find better gear, weapons, credits and omni-gel.
Whenever some political jackass or anti-video game advocate comes up and says "games are harmful, and they are not art", or if anyone in general denies that a video game can be a work of art, then I would direct them to Mass Effect 2. This track alone is one of the most epic, bloodpumping contemporary examples of music I've heard in years. This track made it onto my ipod the same day I beat ME2, and I come to YT every day to put it on while I work at the computer.
@TehHotRoD Maybe you didnt read my post, but Ive done EVERYTHING, several times. I have all DLCs(overlord and LotSB were fantastic BTW), Ive had every squad member in my team for about 2 full playthroughs each. Ive made every renegade and paragon choice. Ive explored every megabyte of that game. And yes I'll play it again just before ME3 comes out, but there are other games too. Plus other things I need to get done. Also ME3 is supposed to come out sooner, according to bioware.
@N7Commando Thats it, they just took out some RPG elements and youre pissed? Character upgrading is also far better in ME2, in ME1 every point youd put into a skill would make a minuscule difference. Granted I was disappointed at the lack of any real inventory system, but it wasnt all that fantastic in ME1 either. KOTOR had a much more interesting inventory system. ME2 is still an RPG, emphasis on ROLE PLAYING, youre asking for an FSG(fancy shopping game). Story is more important.
@N7Commando Humans are going to be important in some way in ME3, genetically I mean (making a guess), not leadership wise or something like that. I mean first of all, they had the story line planned out when ME came out for all three games because they announced it was going to be a trilogy when the first one was announced. Thus, they wouldn't make ME 2 with a completely pointless storyline. Something will be important that is tied into humans, since that was what ME 2 was all about.
I have missed this on the soundtrack for so long. where can I get it? :O fuckin epic music, love the end when the reapers are coming to our galaxy. I think first game didn't have a significant main theme, I think that bioware finally found their main theme for this game serie when they composed this music. This is for mass effect what the chorus and the orchestra music is for the halo games
@Xehnic There could actually be a number of reasons. Like the DLC's (Zaeed, Kasumi) are in the ending credits if you dowloaded them. Plus also Bioware (I'm only guessing from what Bioware stated) have plans for maybe an expansion for telling the story between ME2 and 3, which would then have all the DLC's downloaded and have this full ending theme. But that is me pondering, it is kinda unlikely.
@thepatriot117 We didn't need a happy Disney ending. We just wanted closure after hundreds of hours of gameplay and getting attached to those lively characters. We wanted to know that we made a difference in that lovely ficional galaxy. We wanted an end.
It would be nice to play as Shepards kid, but that will only be possible for Male Shepard or if you had an Asari as your romance as a FemShepard had no time in game to give birth to a child... coming to think about, unless you were in bed with any of the others just before the end of ME3, non of them would have time to give birth either.
I actually "found" Mass Effect a few weeks ago and played I and II so far. I took my time...just to make ist last as long as possible to ceep that epic story up as long as possible. I even don't want to start III, because I don't want it to end. That's not just a game....it's a Reaper taking control of your mind and fantasy....
See.... why do you care about this game? ME1 was SO much better. ME2 had NO plot, you only fought the main enemy THREE times, and the rest of the missions were basically dealing with people's daddy/family issues. Shepard didn't grow at all. This game was pointless. I'm sick of the ME2 fanboys... THINK for a second!
Thanks for generalising about how everyone who hated the endings hated the people who liked the endings. If you liked it, fine, but the story of ME3 was so much more worse than the other 2, simular to how DA2 was terrible in comparison to the original (although, to be fair the other aspects of DA2 were worse than the original, ME3's story was the only weak part to it)
ME2 was great, but the story kinda went a little south (I blame the hiring of Mac Walters). Drew Karpyshyn is the best story writer ive seen, He did wonders in ME1, wonders in ME2, even with Mac pulling it down. Its a shame they ditched Drew in ME3, it would have helped. Fuck Mac Walters. ME3 was still a wonderful game. But ME1 was the best.
@SuperSilverSaber The fans bought the game. The fans paid Bioware the money for the games, giving them the revenue needed for two sequels. EA took control of Bioware. EA raped the final minutes of an otherwise amazing series. We were promised that out choices mattered. We were lied to. We have the right to ask for this broken ending to be fixed.
@NonstopRam Haha, very funny. Oblivion has NO epic moments. Going to oblivion gate of Kvatch or mehrunes dagon vs. martin fight were NOTHING compare to moments from Mass Effect series. But I don't think comparing those two games is a good thing. Oblivion (and Skyrim) has great, big world, ME has great story. Both games are great, though.
@somzer It doesn't matter whether or not the price got cheaper; if people can get it for free then people will try to get it for free. How expensive it is doesn't come into place because many are too greedy and selfish to think that they're wrong to think they deserve everything free. Perfect example is music; barely costs anything to buy the song but people pirate it anyway.
@failurbanik My friend, ANYONE can melee a hunter to death if they hit the right spot. Krogan have no right spot, primarily because they use strategy to defeat their foes. I'm sure a single krogan could take out a hunter based on pure biotic power. More pathetically, I took out hunters with ease on Halo and ODST. It's not that difficult.
@failurbanik The Chief would only be a challenge in hand to hand combat, not long range. Even then, Shep has taken down many krogan, who are a race as powerful as a Spartan. As for BBMF's, I refer you to my comments on Saren on steroids. And besides, the universe might explode if the Shepard and Chief ever fought. NO ONE can withstand THAT level of awesome.
@failurbanik So does a grenade launcher, my friend. You cant really make that argument if you can blow the place down with something else. Plus, much like with the Energy Sword, you can MISS. COMPLETELY MISS. Trust me, I, sadly, have experience in that particular department. If only that slimeball hadn't moved up. Still beat him, but boy was it annoying.

He will be back, I dont stop believe. Maybe even after a few dozen years. Shepard is a Legend, the one and only 🙏
You have failed...we will find another way.
Releasing control..
@@murat8210 Looks around and realizes in non-verbal reaction, "crap I did".
Ngl after the ending this song made me get a bit emotional since I’ve grown so attached and captured to the story, characters and idea.
Listening to this in a theatre environment would be absolutely amazing. That extra track would just shake the entire room.
oh YESSS! Imax only lol.
Get a home theater system and turn it to a good level.
Every damn time I hear the Suicide mission theme I want to replay Mass Effect, not just 2, but the whole series!
Without a doubt my favorite theme from ME :)
ah, puching through the collector lines with Tali and Legion (go team Rannoch), while having Garrus stay back and protect everyone else, good times
The illusive mans face when you do the paragon ending, man was he pissed ;)
When I created my character and played as him for mass effect 1 and 2, there is no other character I can make, he fits the Shephard I see, not even the default one fits in right for me XD
And now for another replay this time through the legendary edition. I'm glad they decided to remaster the trilogy.
One of the best video games and sci-fi trilogies EVER made.
Replaying ME now. God,this music. This fucking amazing music.
0:50 first reaction when finishing it the first time. ".......Ahhhh fuck."
I literally cried at the end of 2 and 3....This is my favorite video game series of all time, if bioware stops now....The can't stop...I need more. This series evoked emotion, simply, it is amazing.
Let's hope ME4 is going to be as good as the trilogy.
I assuming direct control!
rip inglish
best game soundtrack of all time
I like M2 Faunts more, but this is almost just as epic.
I was so sure at the end of ME2 when my squad all survived andd all those reapers started coming through Dark Space. That Shepard was gonna kick their ass.
5:32-Two steps from Hell-"Heart of Courage"---this song is so...EPIC :D
I LOVE IT!
Best game everr. I love the Normandy by the all eternity!
Now the real war begins......
Thank you, to whoever made this video. You helped lessen the pain we all felt.
However they try to correct the mistake they made with ME3 they'll never be as prominent to their now divided fan base. Alls I want is to import my save and have my asari offspring calling the shots on a new Normandy with Garrus or Joker still going at it. Now old man joker that's something I'd wanna see
Weird how much this could fit with Halo. Don't shame me on this, I just saw a Master Chief figure standing on my shelf and the second half of track 2 started....gave me weird chills. Then I saw Revan, Mandalore, and an army of Clone troopers in the back...got weirder chills.
Like Halo 3 ending with this tune?
The nostalgia... it hurts so good
mass effect is officially in my top 5 favorite franchises of all time... just finished the series last week
Halo 1st place
Mass Effect 2nd
what is your 3rd - 5th ?
Jake Hebblethwaite Witcher, Gears of war trilogy, Dragon age... of course, these are franchises and not single games and ive not played all of them, which is why ive probably left out a host of others deserving of these spots
The music to ME1 and ME2 helped make a much stronger emotional connection to the game(s) and their stories; I question if it wasn't for the music whether they the games would have had as great an impact on us all? I for one can not imagine playing either game without the music that accompanied them.
This is not a game... when you drop tears after it ends... it is something different.
Sorry but last song isn't mass effect. It's Two Steps from Hell: Heart of Courage.
The spin off should follow Thane. And it should play like assassin's creed, except cooler, more badass and filled with hot aliens :P
Sere Krios, you were butchered far worse than the me3 ending, poor soul.
Maldita sea ..!!! Que recuerdos ..!!!
Then what is this extra missing track called? If the first song is called "suicide mission", what's this one?
The first track isn't Suicide Mission, Suicide Mission is the main theme. The first track is a different version of the end theme from Mass Effect one. And the extra track is called Heart Of Courage-Two Steps From Hell.
First one is "The End Run" of Mass Effect 2 the other one was never a part of the ME series
GenScottMitchell Why did they put it in the video then if it wasn't part of Mass Effect?
Trolling
GenScottMitchell Actually Hearth Of Courage is used in the game trailer, it's not part of the game, but well it's in the trailer.
Absolutely amazing...the best most unrecognized game in the industry...Cannot wait for the movie; I hope BioWare has their hands deep in it's development.
Releasing control!
Sans doute la meilleure musique de tout les mass effect à mon goût. Idéal pour finir un grand jeu comme mass effect 2. Elle va bien avec le contexte de la fin. Très bon choix. Bon c'est pas nouveau que bioware a très bon goût pour les musiques de ses jeux. Après 70h à en baver on a bien le droit à une petite récompense.

Tu te dis ouais j'en ai baver mais finalement ça a servi à rien, et ça ouvre sur le 3.

The extended cut fixed nearly everything, and its a damn good ending to the story imo. Just because its not your Ideal perfect ending, or just because its not the stereotypical, hero saves the day all's well, hero lives story thats been done a million times over, doesnt mean its bad, or bullshit. your choices influenced your gameplay all the way up to the ending, and even the ending is influenced by your decisions, (did you take out the geth, or keep them? hint hint). I think the ending is great
That's not a ME2 OST track, and certainly not a hidden one. You just put 3 ME-songs together. From ME1 the reprise, from ME2 the credit song and the last one, that you claim at the hidden song, is just a trailer-song from Two Steps From Hell called "Heart of Courage". But nice try.
What are the conditions for this track to play? I remember hearing this song once at the credits on the original ME2, then never heard again. I played the game a total of 10 times (4x on Legendary Edition) and never heard the song again.
I didn't PLAY Mass Effect (1/2), I LIVED it!
These two games (and most probably the third one too) are better than BOOKS!
My rage senses are tingling..
OH LOOK GUYS A XBOX FIGHT! PEOPLE ARGUINZ ON TEH INTERBUTTZ!
Brb popcorn.
but the last song is Heart of Courage by TSFH.. Sorry if I'm wrong since they really sounded alike
Two Steps From Hell!! HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! MASS EFFECT >>>>> HALO!! BEST OST's EVER!!!
There won't be anything if you choose the refusal ending. Unless you want to start with a Yahg...
thumbs up to that, DA2 was pure garbage. Heres to hoping DA3 is as awesome as the ME series.
feels
Ah yes I remember this ending thats where I still had hope the perfect ending in 3 would be a happy one....
@MOnsterPCable No!
He always says "I'm commander Shepard and this is my FAVORITE ...."
Yeah this is just the The End with Heart of Courage tacked on at the end.
Mass Effect is everything that Halo wished to be. And oh so much more.
@N7Commando bioware as a company is baisically a master storyteller. it's what they're famous for. give them some credit. everything is already planned and will probably tie in in the last one.
I must confess: one of my worst nightmares (in gaming anyway) is that they'll suddenly abandon ME like they did with KotOR...bastards. but they own ME and havent got to deal with lucas arts so ya
as for the music, this is a pretty damn epic track, I think the left out part is really good actually, thanks
The question is, if they do consider to set the game after ME3, what ending to they pick as the canon one? And how do you avoid pissing off everyone who chose the different endings?
The thing about the mass effect endings is that they can't just be ignored. If the reapers are stil around (control) you would have to make characters for them, and a synthesis ending would require entirely new models for each character, one with and one without the augments. And then what about refusal and destroy
yeah, they cant really go anywhere else with the franchise
the only things they can do are shift around events that you hear about in the game i.e. arcaturis station, there has been talk of going to the start of the geth / quarian conflict or the prothian downfall.
Personally I reckon they'll want to keep shepard in the game somehow
the next game could have shepards son (if you choose a romance option)
that way itll feature people from the previous games so everyones happy.
They were good characters, but they belonged in a different game. ME2 should have been about SHEPARD and the characters, not just the characters. ME2 should have been Shepard finding out more about the Reapers. Why didn't his old squadmates focus on the Reaper threat? The Council didn't want to believe Shepard, but Tali, Garrus, Ashley/Kaiden etc all knew about their impending doom. Oh well. "I'll become an admiral and fight the Geth." and "I'll become a vigilante." It doesn't make sense.
No, the ending was just simply bad. A random un-forseen character gives shepard some orders before giving him 3 options for an ending. This isn't what mass effect is about, I'd wager most of mass effect's success when it comes to it's story comes from it's plethora of intereasting characters with backstories, the ending is almost a polar opposite to what it is famous for.
The rest of the game wasn't bad, but the catalyst was a poor deus-ex-machina, and the EMS system was worthless.
Agreed.
I wanted an ME2-style ending to ME3 where all of the cruisial desicions came into play (who you helped in ME3, what you did with collector base e.c.t) came into play. Also, I wanted to see my war assets helping me in the fight (as opposed to wrex/kirahee giving a speach) and getting better outcome for having certain war assets or making better choices (moral wise, not through paragon/renegade) throughout the trilogy. Instead, starchild. Not even EC fixed this.
Message is not well interpreted.
Remember the endings of movies and series such as Inception, Twin Peaks, The X Files, Memento, Shutter Island...
I am not glad with my protagonist dead, missing or what else but they are all good maybe perfect. You can choose the end. You can think about it. You can be inspired.
But the end of ME3!
Confusing my friend.
Good to you if you understand it.
:)
I bet all they add is the rest of the crew coming out of the crashed normandy onto eden 2.0
Im not going to hold my breath. the whole game seems rather thrown together. i beat it in like what 3 days?! ME2 took atleast a week. maybe it was all that damned mineral mining, wich you got NOTHING for having over 1000000 in each save for EEZO. i felt that they spent all the time on the cinematics and not enough on the game play.
Ok, endings shouldn't have to be fixed though. And there are multiple endings.
Here's what's wrong with them:
1). Only variety is in the optimal endings (the big 3), Sheperd has to choose 3 different ways to end it, but they all end up being the same. Even the ending CGI is the same, more or less.
2). Your paragon/renegade and even relationship/friendship choices are rendered moot.
3). For a game that spent so much screen time w/ cameos and tying up strings, nothing was answered. Nonsensical.
I personally think it was EA that drove Biowear to make crappy games I mean Biowear was doing great when they were an independent company but as soon as EA got their grubby hands all of them there was a suddenly and slight crappyness to their games. I don't exactly blame Biowear for all this but they did nothing to protect their Independence which is unforgivable I don't support EA so I don't support Biowear anymore. But I do agree that publishers don't care about fan-base all they want is money
You mean the theories the community came up with on the forums since day 1 (some people blaze through games, they must play on non-veteran/hardcore/insanity modes ;) )? The same community which, for Child's Play charity, raised enough money that spurred BioWare to release the real ending they were too scared to do, as FREE DLC? (Let's face it, it costs tens of thousands to release title updates/patches and even DLC over XBL and PSN, so the free DLC is also a nod for us raising $ for charity).
Who ever said ME3 was gonna have a happy ending? If you've played this series you should know it's anything but sunshine and butterflies. It's a game series about sentient machines sent to wipe out all life in the galaxy. The only way for the cycle to end is for the galaxy to sacrifice it's bravest and finest to stop the horde. Somone's gotta die to make it all end. There was no way Shepherd was going to cheat death in the end of this series.
@Mr108454 depends how you look at it, i love both elder scrolls and mass effect series, that being said bethesda make each elder scrolls game a standalone title, no importing from the previous one and make a new diverse and usually unlinked main story to their new title from their previous one. Mass effect continuous a story and reflects each of your actions, no matter how small.
Storywise and for interesting gameplay - mass effect
general fun and lots of things to do - elder scrolls
@aLucidMInd usually that's true. sometimes, it isn't. "barely costs anything" well, it costs more in my country than in yours I guess. I always buy the favorites, however I can do it like once a year (video games) and like 2 music CDs DVDs. So tell me, how the sweet mother of mercy should I take the rest? guess what? piracy... like I could download the new Equilibrium (music) cd, but I love it so much that I pay for it. Then I have no money to buy the rest...
Bloody fuckin' Hell, man.
I went a website and played every single song [except for the DLC] trying to find a certain one and it isn't there.
It's the faint background music that is played at the very start of the N7 "abandoned mine" mission when you first land and it's raining. You have to shoot both bombs to blow up the large shiny object that spawns husks. Ha ha! Figures...
@MissingMandible I don't offer any proof, but I seriously doubt that SOPA would do much against piracy even if it were accepted. After doing some casual research it seems like the games industry is faring quite well as of late. I have in fact read reports stating that games profit has increased. SOPA is about large companies being greedy at the cost of the internet. Whether piracy causes serious harm or not is a discussion for some other time :).
While this song is a nice wrap up, I definitely did not have the same satisfaction as I did the first time I heard ME 1's end credit song by the Faunts. That song was just so perfect for Mass Effect. It would've been really nice if they mimicked the Bourne Identity Series by playing the same song for the end credits on all 3 games. There's just something about it that makes you so pumped. However, the song they played for the final Suicide Mission in ME2 was epic, I LOVE that sequence!

@tomclancy008 true and true, except most krogan are not biotic, biotics unlike how it feels in the games is something that is extremely rare, like a one percent of the population have biotics, unless they are Asari. Krogan were battlemasters, extremely stragetic. Own personal note, Mass Effect is my favorite universe ever, my personal favorite games series and extremely detailed origin orientated books =) remember all my personal taste
@failurbanik Most krogan are biotic vanguards. This means they have that rush ability where they slam into the enemy with all of their might. And don't give me crap on brute force; I've taken their shots as Master Chief, who the Krogan clearly emulate. Krogan are actually intelligent strategists. Read the ME novels. It's just that the AI sucks.
And I'm not saying you're rooting for Halo, nor am I a vid game zealot. I own BOTH series, and am trying to buy H:CE on Xbox Live. Don't lump me in.
@failurbanik I hope I'm typing the right thing, because the way you've written that is a little confusing. If you mean the enemies in ME and ME2 don't use strategy, you're wrong: standard infantry keeps you pinned down while their tank assaults your position. It's basic military strategy. Sure, allied AI is frustrating, but that's why you can issue commands to them. And, arguably, the Mass Effect AI is more helpful than the Halo AI: all your guys do is stay in cover. When they do shoot...
@failurbanik So that's why the Viet Cong beat us in Vietnam! Because they had bamboo sticks and semi-automatic weapons! Do you see my point? Equipment does NOT win battles; STRATEGY wins battles. Out thinking your enemies and luring them into traps wins battles. The Empire did not beat the Rebels in Star Wars. The British did not beat the Colonists. The Covenant did not beat Earth (though that has more to do with their Civil War than anything else).
@failurbanik All Master Chief does is jump, hit people with rifles, and throw gren grens. If you're a biotic, Shepard can lift you up and slam you into the ground, rip things off walls and throw them at you, or crush you with biotic power. Master Chief is awesome, but he doesn't stand tall with Shepard, ESPECIALLY when you consider the fact that you can make Shepard a hero or a villain (in temperament, not deeds).
@failurbanik Also, Shepard took down Saren while Saren was on steroids. Armor doesnt matter if you're dumb as a rock and can't use the abilities you've been given. Shepard also took down a thresher maw while on FOOT. Not to mention all the geth Colossi on FOOT. When you consider the bosses the Master Chief takes down, there is no comparison. Badass that Master Chief is, he's not as good as Shepard.
@failurbanik Those "scraps" are mass accelerated projectiles, and hit far harder than normal bullets. The MAC guns in Halo took multiple shots to kill that damn Covie ship. Meanwhile, Sovereign has what amounts to a laser cannon imitation that cut right through the shields of the Destiny Ascension. This is tech that far surpasses anything in Halo, and it takes place almost 400 years before. And before you jump on that, I know they're seperated universes and series.
Mass effect series are the best thing happend to gaming.Mass effect 2 is my favourite game and the 3 will be the best of 2011.the story,music,characters,gameplay ect. a true masterpeace.at the end of the 2-nd game i cryed because it feld so real and dramatic.I have a ps3 and i almost bouht a Xbox just because this game but when heard thats coming out for ps3 i went crazy.Again a masterpeace.Thank you BIOWARE
@callsignjoker It was mainstreamed, and for the better. I reckon it is a little more linear than the first game, but you have more things to focus on - Like upgrading your ship to the max and increasing your side-characters' loyalty so that everyone stays alive at the end. It would have been a pain in the ass to do all that while trying to find better gear, weapons, credits and omni-gel.
Whenever some political jackass or anti-video game advocate comes up and says "games are harmful, and they are not art", or if anyone in general denies that a video game can be a work of art, then I would direct them to Mass Effect 2. This track alone is one of the most epic, bloodpumping contemporary examples of music I've heard in years. This track made it onto my ipod the same day I beat ME2, and I come to YT every day to put it on while I work at the computer.
@TehHotRoD
Maybe you didnt read my post, but Ive done EVERYTHING, several times. I have all DLCs(overlord and LotSB were fantastic BTW), Ive had every squad member in my team for about 2 full playthroughs each. Ive made every renegade and paragon choice. Ive explored every megabyte of that game. And yes I'll play it again just before ME3 comes out, but there are other games too. Plus other things I need to get done.
Also ME3 is supposed to come out sooner, according to bioware.
@N7Commando Thats it, they just took out some RPG elements and youre pissed?
Character upgrading is also far better in ME2, in ME1 every point youd put into a skill would make a minuscule difference. Granted I was disappointed at the lack of any real inventory system, but it wasnt all that fantastic in ME1 either. KOTOR had a much more interesting inventory system.
ME2 is still an RPG, emphasis on ROLE PLAYING, youre asking for an FSG(fancy shopping game). Story is more important.
@N7Commando Humans are going to be important in some way in ME3, genetically I mean (making a guess), not leadership wise or something like that. I mean first of all, they had the story line planned out when ME came out for all three games because they announced it was going to be a trilogy when the first one was announced. Thus, they wouldn't make ME 2 with a completely pointless storyline. Something will be important that is tied into humans, since that was what ME 2 was all about.
I have missed this on the soundtrack for so long. where can I get it? :O
fuckin epic music, love the end when the reapers are coming to our galaxy.
I think first game didn't have a significant main theme, I think that bioware finally found their main theme for this game serie when they composed this music.
This is for mass effect what the chorus and the orchestra music is for the halo games
@Xehnic There could actually be a number of reasons. Like the DLC's (Zaeed, Kasumi) are in the ending credits if you dowloaded them. Plus also Bioware (I'm only guessing from what Bioware stated) have plans for maybe an expansion for telling the story between ME2 and 3, which would then have all the DLC's downloaded and have this full ending theme.
But that is me pondering, it is kinda unlikely.
@thepatriot117 We didn't need a happy Disney ending. We just wanted closure after hundreds of hours of gameplay and getting attached to those lively characters. We wanted to know that we made a difference in that lovely ficional galaxy. We wanted an end.
Mass effect Has the Best theme songs of any game ive ever played
Heart of Courage?
In the Mass Effect 2 credits?
I don't think so.
Such a great, great game... What would this gen. be without ME...
It would be nice to play as Shepards kid, but that will only be possible for Male Shepard or if you had an Asari as your romance as a FemShepard had no time in game to give birth to a child... coming to think about, unless you were in bed with any of the others just before the end of ME3, non of them would have time to give birth either.
I actually "found" Mass Effect a few weeks ago and played I and II so far. I took my time...just to make ist last as long as possible to ceep that epic story up as long as possible. I even don't want to start III, because I don't want it to end. That's not just a game....it's a Reaper taking control of your mind and fantasy....
See.... why do you care about this game? ME1 was SO much better. ME2 had NO plot, you only fought the main enemy THREE times, and the rest of the missions were basically dealing with people's daddy/family issues. Shepard didn't grow at all. This game was pointless. I'm sick of the ME2 fanboys... THINK for a second!
Thanks for generalising about how everyone who hated the endings hated the people who liked the endings. If you liked it, fine, but the story of ME3 was so much more worse than the other 2, simular to how DA2 was terrible in comparison to the original (although, to be fair the other aspects of DA2 were worse than the original, ME3's story was the only weak part to it)
ME2 was great, but the story kinda went a little south (I blame the hiring of Mac Walters).
Drew Karpyshyn is the best story writer ive seen, He did wonders in ME1, wonders in ME2, even with Mac pulling it down. Its a shame they ditched Drew in ME3, it would have helped. Fuck Mac Walters. ME3 was still a wonderful game. But ME1 was the best.
@SuperSilverSaber The fans bought the game. The fans paid Bioware the money for the games, giving them the revenue needed for two sequels.
EA took control of Bioware. EA raped the final minutes of an otherwise amazing series.
We were promised that out choices mattered. We were lied to. We have the right to ask for this broken ending to be fixed.
@NonstopRam
Haha, very funny. Oblivion has NO epic moments. Going to oblivion gate of Kvatch or mehrunes dagon vs. martin fight were NOTHING compare to moments from Mass Effect series.
But I don't think comparing those two games is a good thing. Oblivion (and Skyrim) has great, big world, ME has great story. Both games are great, though.
@somzer
It doesn't matter whether or not the price got cheaper; if people can get it for free then people will try to get it for free. How expensive it is doesn't come into place because many are too greedy and selfish to think that they're wrong to think they deserve everything free. Perfect example is music; barely costs anything to buy the song but people pirate it anyway.
@failurbanik My friend, ANYONE can melee a hunter to death if they hit the right spot. Krogan have no right spot, primarily because they use strategy to defeat their foes. I'm sure a single krogan could take out a hunter based on pure biotic power. More pathetically, I took out hunters with ease on Halo and ODST. It's not that difficult.
@failurbanik The Chief would only be a challenge in hand to hand combat, not long range. Even then, Shep has taken down many krogan, who are a race as powerful as a Spartan. As for BBMF's, I refer you to my comments on Saren on steroids. And besides, the universe might explode if the Shepard and Chief ever fought. NO ONE can withstand THAT level of awesome.
@failurbanik So does a grenade launcher, my friend. You cant really make that argument if you can blow the place down with something else. Plus, much like with the Energy Sword, you can MISS. COMPLETELY MISS. Trust me, I, sadly, have experience in that particular department. If only that slimeball hadn't moved up. Still beat him, but boy was it annoying.
