@@tonycmac damn, that's impressive. It took me to my 5th playthrough, ME1 on the legendary edition before I finally mined all the materials, got all the medals, etc. Stating part 2, I had forgotten how much I hated scanning planets, so in gonna use a mod to clear each planet with one probe.
@@nautikient2151 Listen to the music. Breathe. Feel the patterns in tonality. THIS is ME2 - it is a feeling more than a place, and you are welcome to be here. I only ask that you please do not disrespect Admiral Hackett. He shall always be alive and in our hearts, and certainly so in ME2.
2010. Ten years later i reflect back on how much playing this game was like being on an adventure. I'll never forget it. So much good feels. Why cant games be like this anymore....
i am 40 and this just reminds me i will never get to experience space travel in my lifetime, mass effect is the closest thing i will get to experience space travel.
I totally get what you mean. Although, if you want to get close to what space travel is (presumably) actually like, play Elite Dangerous. It's not for the faint of heart and has a steep learning curve. Frankly, it's pretty stressful, lol.
We just gotta find the prothean beacon on Mars, remember 1st contact with aliens is only about 26 years before the events of ME1. Anything could happen.
While it is a shame I missed out on the height of Mass Effect...I am so glad I dived into Mass Effect with the legendary edition this December of 2022...This game is a blessing, and it's such a vibe for me this Christmas. I am very late, but words cannot express how happy I am playing these games now. Mass Effect is truly one of the greatest games of all time.
I've been eyeing up the legendary edition recently I'd love to replay the trilogy again from start to finish. I remember being so excited for 2&3 to come out back in the day I can't believe ten years have passed 😮😅
Weirdly enough, I also happened to stumble into Mass Effect around Christmas time. I try to do a full trilogy playthrough about once a year for that reason.
Agreed, 10 years later and its still the best game series ever. Nothing since it has been as great and honestly I doubt there will be anything like the MET again. It was a unique trilogy with peak Bioware character writing, same iconic protagonist throughout, choices mattering throughout the 3 games, a focused quality over quantity linear experience instead of open world filler bs etc. and the soundtrack was amazing too
I'm training to be a game dev, and if I can make a game like this, I will die a happy man. No modernisms, just adherence to amazing, immersive gameplay in an amazing world to experience.
@Novarcharesk games like this aren't made anymore, it's all about maximizing profits with minimal effort, sure some studios still put out mediocre stories but the games are riddled with "micro"transactions and honestly devs today just aren't creative enough to produce something on this scale but if you really are trying to become a game dev I wish you luck bc this industry needs some help
After finally beating the games recently I think the only game that has came close to accomplishing to what Mass Effect did in terms of immersion is obviously Red Dead II but other than that, I wholeheartedly agree 🔥💯
I’m so grateful that at the age of 30 I’m playing ME serie for the first time, thanks to the game pass. Already finished ME1, almost finished ME2 after importing the save and super thrilled to play ME3 and MEA. What. A. Serie. Holy moly. Edit: original games, not legendary edition stuff. Original graphics and gameplays.
We brother I never owned 360 I was PS3 guy actually a SONY guys since the very first PSX , so I got myself a 360 around 2015 Christmas and got the trilogy and man it was one after another I love the first MASS EFFECT so much but 2nd is probably the best in my humble opinion.
Recently finished my first ever play through, (since I was a ps gamer) but good lord, this took me back in time to when art was made. Goddamn masterpiece!
@@KraTu7 And the worst story and ending(s). The entire ME:U was left shattered. At the endings of Mass 1 and 2 I was on top pf the world. ME3's ending left me sitting there in disbelief.
It was during COVID when I binge played this whole Legendary series (DLC and all). No game ever felt like an extensive journey like this. I heard this theme alot because I spent a lot of time prepping Normandy for the Suicide mission by gathering resources. I was not gonna let anyone die.
believe it or not. i used to spend hours right behind this galaxy map, exploring planets and read about them. it was one of the most fun things i've ever done in any game !
Remember hearing this tune the first time. I was in awe. And I stayed on scanner even after depleting resources and places to find. Just because of this tune and the atmosphere and vibe. Christ on a crutch, 2010 where did you go? 😢😔
Games just aren't the same anymore. I haven't felt the way I did playing games in the PS3 era really ever since it came to an end and started the PS4 era.
I remember staying up until 9am in the morning playing multiple playthroughs of 1 and 2. I would binge drink powerade and had a huge collection of empty powerade bottles.
it'sthefirst game I remeber playing until the sun came up again, because I was so immersed into it I literally could not stop playing and wanted to progress.
My favourite game. In this game, the soul is projected literally in every detail. Everything is done with such respect for the player that for me personally, this is the best space trip in the world. I'm glad to be a part of this big boom on game history)))
Perfect for exploring the night sky full of stars looking for constellations and planets of the Sol system with the Milky Way visible. Breathtaking indeed. 🌌
I remember when I was 10 or 11 with this game, got it with the Xbox 360 as it came with it and MW2, oh man do I wish I could travel back in time and relive those moments when games actually meant something and had a meaningful effect, I’m 18 right now and just hearing this as I spend hours on this is such a flashback, no other game will ever beat this...never life was different then now of course as I am now 18, still will forever love this !
same,except i was 16 in 10th grade winter,probanly the only year i can remember where i wasnt miserable,i had some girl sleeping over to go snowboarding next day and i wasripping this the whole time,back when that wasnt an issue lol
I can recall many a time when I fell asleep on the the couch while playing this game and listening to this music. My mind refused to stop playing, so I would just sit in this mini menu contemplating my next space jump. Eventually, I would succumb to exhaustion, and would be soothed to sleep with this melody. I still use this song to help me fall alseep many years later.
I used to play this whenever I do my math and science homework in high school many years ago. It gives off the actual feeling of studying like a researcher
Ive finished reading Asimov's Foundation recently. Whenever i was in a part where he tried to describe the navigation interface of the various Empire and Foundation ships, this is the map that was coming into mind! So embedded, botht the map and the music. If only he could have seen that game
I always liked space, I played a lot of Kotor and Star Citizen but I had never tried Mass Effect before. Currently I am finishing the 2nd and I must admit that this music is probably the one that leaves me most easily dreamy to the point of sometimes opening the map without moving, just to appreciate it. Mass Effect is truly a video game monument and I really regret not being interested in it when I was younger.
The feeling you get from these games is something else even all these years later, so glad I got to play through the legendary edition without spoilers.
An ex of mine loved the Mass Effect games and I used to fall asleep to this music nightly whenever he was playing them. Still the most soothing background music to have on (and the games aren’t half bad either).
I stg I always felt like in mass effect 2s galaxy map there’s a slight addition with the illusive mans theme in the background almost as if it’s engrained into a Cerberus ship. Love it
If space travel ever becomes a thing in the near future this has to be the official well known song everyone knows when you hear it, someone is working on a Itinerary from Earth to Mars. An intergalactic flight.!
I’ve never played mass effect, but my dad loves it. He played it a lot when I was younger, and I can remember hearing this so much. Its nostalgic at the fact I’ve heard this so much.
This track was able to put most of the family to sleep. I remember my parents 'letting' us mine planets for them before bedtime knowing half of us would be asleep before we got a turn. The kids were put to sleep, and they got free planetary resources out of it. Well played, mom and dad. Well played.
This absolutely beautiful piece of music reminds me of happier times. My first Mass Effect was 2 and the whole adventure, the story, the hidden gems that could be found were fantastic. In my opinion, possibly one of the best game series ever.
When the legendary finally comes out I am going to cherrish everything and take my time and enjoy this game for what it really is which is a masterpiece
I love the Galaxy Map in ME2. So much excitement - so many new worlds! Where shall we head next? Perhaps Illium or the Citadel, or Tuchanka? So many dreams - glorious dreams of worlds filled with ancient secrets of those who have come before us.... Playing this game for the first time was truly amazing.
this game is so nostalgic, so amazing. everything about it was just perfect. a 10/10. even for farming materials the ost was magic. damn time to replay this gem!!!!!
Any part of this soundtrack makes me smile and grin like an absolute weirdo 😆 I remember downloading the legendary edition with the mindset of just trying to get the last game asap since these games were “old”, the first Mass Effect is by far my favorite one; EVERYTHING was so alien about the games story and characters, even what was supposed to be taken as the norm - I can’t help but feel like the game developers nailed it by making me, the player, feel an alien visitor in a real life economy, civilization, unique cultures etc, it was like playing a book! Anyways I whipped past the first 3 and found myself upset, not only was I annoyed with myself for not playing the games sooner, but also annoyed I felt like I didn’t savor the story (I had max charisma and didn’t have to shoot Drax). Playing Andromeda now at a snails pace, sometimes not even playing the game just “staring” out the window into deep space, contemplating my next real life jump in life…
OMG... I wiped all planets of all systems clean of any valuable materials. Guess how much time that took me. Guess what played during that time. ...and the occasional "probe launched" voice
In my opinion, this is the best video game theme in all of gaming anywhere. There are plenty of amazing themes in gaming that fit really well with the game or certain specific situations, however this one is good on its own and fits that. It conveys the feeling of mystery with a space like rhythm to it in a perfect way of making its very good sounding rhythm that is supposed to be the main beat this. Most gaming themes have a base theme then a lot of different background mini themes that add to the theme as a whole. This theme has that, but it conveys the feel of a mystery and space adventure so well that the mystery part blends perfectly with the space feel to make it sound absolutely perfect and make you sit there and ponder maybe through memories. Or perhaps the meaning of life or what you are gonna do when you grow up etc. it makes you wonder while also making you especially have a fun time exploring while in the world of mass effect, while playing the game. It's feel is like mario galaxy, but instead of calm it's mysterious; making it teach a different lesson than Mario Galaxy. Mario Galaxy teaches you sometimes you need to step back and take a breather whether it be stress, arguing, or even working out or dealing with a problem. This theme alone in Mass Effect teaches you how to wonder what the answer to certain questions are in your life while the feel also inspires you to keep going to see what's next like future of human race, future of your favorite game franchise, future of space travel, future of your family, But most importantly, The future of you
There is nothing else in Mass Effect that makes me want to play the whole trilogy and do everything possible than THIS song. It was such an obvious, yet perfectly chosen decision to have this exact same track play in all three games. It's like the music thread that connects them all together paired with the visual thread of the galaxy map itself. But unlike the galaxy map which had visual improvements over the entries, this track remainded pristine.
@@Theloststreamer I like fem shep's voice too much. One week I will give it a go some year for male shep. Nothing wrong if you like the male voice more.
I just put this on to help me focus on a work task (editing a very technical and dry 40-page report). It does help. ... aside from the fact that I'm browsing TH-cam comments instead of working. I should get back to that...
@@thereclaimer2945 I just got LE myself. It’s good to see them looking better than ever. Especially ME1. I’m still sad that pinnacle station isn’t here though
Just play the originals. If you like, you can get mods on the Nexus for free that look and play better than the ME:LE, which is a cheap and pathetic cash grab.
Play the song while you're looking at Google maps to look for stuff it's kind of feels like Mass effect except you're not harvesting resources except for enjoyment of your mind I guess.
Mass Effect gave me so many great memories. I truly love this game with all my heart. Music, Character, Lore, everything about Mass Effect 1 and 2 are amazing. I would literally just listen to this song in game for hours. I remember I would wake up every morning to drink coffee and play Mass Effect. This game is undoubtedly my favorite games of all times.

Any part of this soundtrack makes me smile and grin like an absolute weirdo 😆 I remember downloading the legendary edition with the mindset of just trying to get the last game asap since these games were “old”, the first Mass Effect is by far my favorite one; EVERYTHING was so alien about the games story and characters, even what was supposed to be taken as the norm - I can’t help but feel like the game developers nailed it by making me, the player, feel an alien visitor in a real life economy, civilization, unique cultures etc, it was like playing a book! Anyways I whipped past the first 3 and found myself upset, not only was I annoyed with myself for not playing the games sooner, but also annoyed I felt like I didn’t savor the story (I had max charisma and didn’t have to shoot Drax). Playing Andromeda now at a snails pace, sometimes not even playing the game just “staring” out the window into deep space, contemplating my next real life jump in life…
This is strangely calming for some reason.
When I look at the map I just remember how tiny we are in the universe. just wow
OMG... I wiped all planets of all systems clean of any valuable materials.
Guess how much time that took me.
Guess what played during that time.
...and the occasional "probe launched" voice
EDI the cylon SIx with you all the way haha
Feels like home.
In my opinion, this is the best video game theme in all of gaming anywhere. There are plenty of amazing themes in gaming that fit really well with the game or certain specific situations, however this one is good on its own and fits that. It conveys the feeling of mystery with a space like rhythm to it in a perfect way of making its very good sounding rhythm that is supposed to be the main beat this. Most gaming themes have a base theme then a lot of different background mini themes that add to the theme as a whole. This theme has that, but it conveys the feel of a mystery and space adventure so well that the mystery part blends perfectly with the space feel to make it sound absolutely perfect and make you sit there and ponder maybe through memories. Or perhaps the meaning of life or what you are gonna do when you grow up etc. it makes you wonder while also making you especially have a fun time exploring while in the world of mass effect, while playing the game. It's feel is like mario galaxy, but instead of calm it's mysterious; making it teach a different lesson than Mario Galaxy. Mario Galaxy teaches you sometimes you need to step back and take a breather whether it be stress, arguing, or even working out or dealing with a problem. This theme alone in Mass Effect teaches you how to wonder what the answer to certain questions are in your life while the feel also inspires you to keep going to see what's next like future of human race, future of your favorite game franchise, future of space travel, future of your family,
But most importantly,
The future of you
Who else read the entire thing?
@@Subuzy nah
i'll wait for the game
Oh no, why did this have to be the channel trailer... instant involuntary inner contemplation.
The build up of great things to come.
I came to this video just for nostalgia and forgot it was on in another tab for 10 minutes, it just fits as a sleek audio background so well
im on a mission, i gotta go get that money go get it

Mass Effect 1 brought me a beautiful dream. Mass Effect 2 brought me the companions to experience it with. Mass Effect 3 brought me an alarm clock.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
pure perfection, soo damn good
There is nothing else in Mass Effect that makes me want to play the whole trilogy and do everything possible than THIS song. It was such an obvious, yet perfectly chosen decision to have this exact same track play in all three games. It's like the music thread that connects them all together paired with the visual thread of the galaxy map itself. But unlike the galaxy map which had visual improvements over the entries, this track remainded pristine.
If the next Mass Effect ends up like Dragon Age Veilguard. Sheperd will be spinning in her virtual grave. Games are going to hell so fast.
@aliensounddigital8729 Am I the only one who plays as male?
@@Theloststreamer I like fem shep's voice too much. One week I will give it a go some year for male shep. Nothing wrong if you like the male voice more.
I swear the male Shepard VA sounds like Gene Starwind from 1998's anime Outlaw Star, dub version of course.
I love this so much. Great for work/study. Mass Effect 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
I could listen to this all day long so peaceful
I love this game. Simple is.
I used to go to the galaxy map and just leave it running when I was studying in law school.
it really gets the thinking juices flowing
I just put this on to help me focus on a work task (editing a very technical and dry 40-page report). It does help.
... aside from the fact that I'm browsing TH-cam comments instead of working. I should get back to that...
@@Phlebas did you do good on that report?
@@donosporidium Well, I got it done and nobody complained about my edits. So, well enough.
@@Phlebas good stuff bro
ME2 even had the best galaxy map, it's insane how perfect this game is.
Ahh the nostalgia, the memories of a much simpler time. Like a warm blanket for my soul, nothing calms me down more than this
This is what I live for..... ;)
I also.

Can't comment enough. So thankful you post this content, it's all I listen to at work. Keeps me focused
Man this really puts me on a nostalgic trip
The new remastered is coming out soon so hyped to play through all 3 games again!!
yeah boiiiiiiiiii
How was it friend?
@@sheparedcomanderN7 pretty good. They’re just as good as I remembered them when I played them originally!
@@thereclaimer2945 I just got LE myself. It’s good to see them looking better than ever. Especially ME1. I’m still sad that pinnacle station isn’t here though
Just play the originals. If you like, you can get mods on the Nexus for free that look and play better than the ME:LE, which is a cheap and pathetic cash grab.
Play the song while you're looking at Google maps to look for stuff it's kind of feels like Mass effect except you're not harvesting resources except for enjoyment of your mind I guess.
😆
currently writing my final to this, very relaxing.
This game was a chunk of my childhood. I snuck into my older brother’s room to play it 😂
Mass Effect gave me so many great memories. I truly love this game with all my heart. Music, Character, Lore, everything about Mass Effect 1 and 2 are amazing. I would literally just listen to this song in game for hours. I remember I would wake up every morning to drink coffee and play Mass Effect. This game is undoubtedly my favorite games of all times.
I love the Normandys. They have such great setting ambiance.
Biiiiiig Tangerine Dream vibes. They absolutely nailed the sci-fi synth tones. Brilliant.
Would have done better myself. ;)
Therapist: your not supposed to hear pictures
me: sees any picture of space, this song starts in my head
Literally my soul is singing this ❤️❤️
I think this is the last game I pre-ordered. Skipped out on work early to pick it up. Good times
I cant believe it took me till the trilogy remasters to play this masterpiece
