I always go on loyalties and side missions and Upgrade ships and buy stronger weapons first and then the legion mission and then the suicide mission. This is how I made it to the perfect ending! SIMPLE!!! 😁👍🏻
I did the mistake when my crew got kidnapped I continued doing side missions, didn't know that the game is that serious. Now I will load 9 hours save before and save them before heading to part 3 xD
Literally the most epic ending to any videogame I've ever played. The epic music coupled with the satisfaction that you made all the right choices is just perfect.
Before getting the IFF, we literally have to finish ALL loyalty and recruitment, then you could do it And after that immediately going for legion loyalty
Better than any film and worth playing and watching multiple times over (over 100 houra of games play). Only game that is on par with mass effect was witcher 3 ( over 200 hours of game play). Best games ever
Witcher 3 had okay ish main plot, excellent dlcs and inconsequencional side quests (if you would ask, i mean quests like killing Radovid). Mass effect exceeded witcher in every way, just not the dlcs (just one mans opinon)
Not me rewatching this as a cleanse because even though this is the ending I got, out of morbid curiosity I looked up the worst possible ending and scarred myself, and keep having to remind myself that everyone's okay in my run cause I haven't gotten far enough in 3 to see any of them yet 😅😅😅😅
Little plot hole, or not: If Reapers feed on the essence of species used to make them, which results in them appearing like the species used to make them, then why do all the Reapers look like the Leviathan race since Reaper Harbinger is supposedly the only Reaper crafted from Leviathan essence? Remember what the Leviathan of Dis said about each Reaper being born after a harvest, which means that Harbinger would be the only Reaper born after harvesting from the Leviathans.
i don't think it was ever stated that each Reaper looks like the species it's made from. The human reaper we saw at the collectors base might be only a skeleton, maybe only the central chamber of the future reaper.
I've had more playthroughs of this brilliant trilogy than I can count, but I have NEVER romanced Tali or Garrus. Something about the grasshopper legs and 3-digit hands that don't sit right with me. If I play as FemShep, it's Kaiden or Thane. BroShep, it's Miranda, Ashley, Liara, and Jack. I love to see Tali's growth as a character, but she has a permanent home in the friend zone.
I know this is a bit of a nitpick but @ 23:28 You should have seem the human reaper's final moments of it reaching up before exploding instead it goes into a black void. It's my one issue that the legendary edition has. It's pretty jarring
Compare this with the shitty final mission in ME3. That said, destroying the base is in fact idiotic. Not in game, where the ilusive man is a moron but had the plot been better, the collector base would've been the thing that could've gave data about the reapers weakness
I've never even used a custom face for the game, the original Commander Shepard face is the face of Mass Effect and in my opinion, there can't be another Mass effect without him just like there can't be another Witcher without Geralt.

I never get tired of this especially the Tali pounce.
🥰
Jesus..
I don't give a shit that Bioware is tryna make Liara the canon romance, Tali is THE wifey of Shepard
Mine died 😢
The Mass Effect Trilogy is and will stay one of the most amazing gaming experiences ever.
The last 20 seconds is pure goosbumps
I will never forget the first time I finished the original ME2 and saw this ending. Never.
Thats so true for me aswell! I was just screaming at the screen "Whaaaaaat!! OMG!"
14 years and Mass effect is still amazing
Awaiting this to launch for the switch
ME2: The TRUE Suicide Squad
"Garrus - you're in-charge of the second team" - every single time! Does anyone even choose anyone than Garrus
I thought Zaeed would be better cuz of his experience
Jacob, if you want garrus in your squad
Man, this "You have failed. We will find another way" moment still gives me chills. ❤
Not only that but its so sad in a way, the little guy looks so defeated and lost in the final seconds of his unindoctrinated life 😢

The ending of this game was one of the most satisfying I have ever experienced. The music, the dialogue, the action, and the story are all top tier.

@@MasterDracer the interesting thing is what you get in your first game I lost kasumi and half the crew the feeling was horrible
@@firekeeper3243 damn xD
I did the same, but somehow i lost Tali, Zaeed and Legion...
@whitepanthier369 I lost Tali and Mordin
29:19 Always love this scene of Shepard staring out into space, knowing the Reapers are coming in force and he's ready to take them on.
Literally the most epic ending to any videogame I've ever played. The epic music coupled with the satisfaction that you made all the right choices is just perfect.
Your gameplay and decisions are perfect
Thank you!
I pretty much lost all my original team first playthrough
Shafting Miranda off every responsibility is the way to get the best ending...got it
Before getting the IFF, we literally have to finish ALL loyalty and recruitment, then you could do it
And after that immediately going for legion loyalty
You can do two missions, which is a cool way to do Legion's loyalty mission and then Tali's where you get unique dialog if you take him along.
The best movie ever
When i played this, Miranda, Jacob, legion, and thane, died
RIP
I end now. Jack, Mordin, Tali and Thane Dies. F
I only got zaeed killed

And cyberpunk 2077 is also coming close to them but mass effect will stay on the throne for me so I agree. And don't forget dragon age
@@frantisekbabica824 in my opinion the me3 citadel dlc is the best dlc of all time
And that’s how you deal with life as cool and collected as illusive man.
After making out with Tali you already know this is gonna be good
Yeah, makes you feel good after seeing that
ME2 had the best ending of the 3 games.
when you realize that in the mass effect universe, the lights in the sky weren't stars but distant reapers in dark space...
Ah yes Tali. I see you too are a person of high class.
Exactly, her personality, her accent, her... curves, and she's so shy too at intimate stuff. Tali all the way!
Omg! I got the perfect ending!! Yes!!
Now make sure you have around 7700 Tms in me3 and pick destroy ending for the perfect ending
@@mrfrayfray9214 Thank you so much!! I'll do that!
@@mrfrayfray9214 Destroy isn't perfect. It ends the Geth. A perfect ending is where *all* your allies survive. Control is best
Destroy, with near max EMS is confirmed the perfect ending. It’s also the only ending shepherd survives
Max military readiness, whatever it is. I don’t think it’s EMS. Been awhile.
Best trilogy of all time. I wish i played this back in the day
Congratulations

I know it's a cliff hanger, but god damnit...
THIS is how you end a videogame

Yep a plot hole
i don't think it was ever stated that each Reaper looks like the species it's made from. The human reaper we saw at the collectors base might be only a skeleton, maybe only the central chamber of the future reaper.
The outer casing looks similar for all reapers and is based on Leviathans. Only their core and their DNA comes from different species.
I like to believe that ME3 never happened, and that Shepard tracked down harbinger and beat the crap out of him
Ahh, they still dont fixed bug with Tali's 'eyes' turning off
That's not a bug
@@MasterDracer That is bug
after watching the worst ending possible ending video this is sooooooo fucking satisfying it's crazy how good this game is
2023 and it still feels good to do the perfect ending, especially getting overhyped by Joker saying "How'd you like that ya sons-of -bitches?"
Am I the only one who wore the default armor but with a blue stripe instead of a red stripe
Ooo flashy and a white for the third color
@@YoungMrBlue yeah I am not only one
I go full black with red
I've had more playthroughs of this brilliant trilogy than I can count, but I have NEVER romanced Tali or Garrus.
Something about the grasshopper legs and 3-digit hands that don't sit right with me.
If I play as FemShep, it's Kaiden or Thane.
BroShep, it's Miranda, Ashley, Liara, and Jack.
I love to see Tali's growth as a character, but she has a permanent home in the friend zone.
Tali...i lor her so so much... indescriptible
Kinda feel bad for the Protheans here. Did the collector General release the reaper specs to Shepherd in his one second of free will?
I know this is a bit of a nitpick but @ 23:28 You should have seem the human reaper's final moments of it reaching up before exploding instead it goes into a black void. It's my one issue that the legendary edition has. It's pretty jarring
Why did Tali die as hacker in my playthrough? I also did her loyality mission.
Jacob survived. HOW is this a perfect ending?
I am assuming direct control...
Compare this with the shitty final mission in ME3.
That said, destroying the base is in fact idiotic. Not in game, where the ilusive man is a moron but had the plot been better, the collector base would've been the thing that could've gave data about the reapers weakness
You cheated. You chose Zaeed but then switched it to Garrus
FUUUU i killed three people zaeed, jack, and jacob
I only killed mordin and thane the scientist and the assassin
I got Grunt killed, and somehow losing only one crew member feels worse than losing them all
Hah~ Tali is precious.
Big ups for using the iconic default face, armor and colors for Shepard instead of some ugly, goofy shit that looks nothing like Commander Shepard
I've never even used a custom face for the game, the original Commander Shepard face is the face of Mass Effect and in my opinion, there can't be another Mass effect without him just like there can't be another Witcher without Geralt.

As long as the game was good what does it matter?
