Aaaaaaaand here I go again. 1. Find a video about Mass Effect. 2. Remember how incredible the franchise was. 3. Get blown away by nostalgia. 4. Try not to cry. 5. Cry a lot. 6. Re-install the games.
+TheNameCannotBeFound Back when I played ME2, I got the worst ending possible. I actually cried but when I found out you could actually save everyone I started playing again. No other game did that to me.
+TheNameCannotBeFound At 0:41, these 4 notes made me cry... They remind me the cinematic when you're living the Earth in begining of ME3 (even if An end once and for all and Leaving Earth are slightly different)... Mass Effect is really the most soulful game I ever played. And i m planning on doing the trilogy once more soon, even if i m going to cry again at the end of ME3...
Kalahira, this one's heart is pure... But beset by wickedness and contention... Guide this one to where the traveler never tires... The lover never leaves.... The hunger never starve... Guide this one Kalahira... And he will be companion to you... As he was to me...
Pack your bags, boys and girls, we're going on a feels trip. Say what you will about the ending, Mass Effect is one of the greatest games of all time. Epic story, perfect music, memorable characters, the list goes on. Also: Taylor's dress.
Bearcityman *hugs* same here aww fuck i'm crying even no!! ahh and its been a year since i heard this music!! haven't been able to play Mass Effect 3 after the first... err 13 playthroughs or so that i did. too damn heart breaking.
I want a remake on PS4,XBOX ONE and PC. So everyone can enjoy this epic journey. I always felt guilty when I did something wrong in ME. I always cry when I think of Shepard jumping into the green ray of energy. Imagine Liara, sitting crying in her home and looking at a pic of Shepard.
Hey Kevin. It's literally the only game that ever captured the real-world nightmare of "no matter what you do, how HARD you try, we're all going to fail." ...and then we actually do keep trying, as hard as we can, to do EVERYTHING, be---- ----because what else is there? We can just give up. Look at it, it's obviously hopeless. STOP making it more painful. Just give in. No. Even if we're going to lose, we're going to tell EVERYONE that WE did EVERYTHING WE could. I don't need a legacy, MY legacy is that we didn't stop, we didn't cower, we didn't cave, we put *EVERYTHING* we were right up to the line. And you "reapers" aren't qualified to "quantify" that. You can't "know" what we are, WHO we are, and what we've done and given. You're the worst and smallest of who we were. We now? We're your failure. We're hope.
"I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian. I've studies species Turian, Asari, and Batarian. I'm quite good a genetics. It's a subset of biology because I am an expert, which I know is a tautology. My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian. I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian!" - Mordin
Replaying the trilogy with the Legendary Edition. "Not sure if Turian heaven is the same as yours, but if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there... Meet me at the bar."
This war's brought us pain, and suffering, and loss. But it's also brought us together, as soldiers, allies... friends. This bond that ties us together is something that the Reapers will never understand. It's more powerful than any weapon, stronger than any ship. It can't be taken or destroyed. The next few hours will decide the fate of everyone in the galaxy. Every mother. Every son. Every unborn child. They're trusting you. Depending on you to win them their future. A future free from the threat of the Reapers! But take heart! Look around you! You're not in this fight alone. We face our enemy together, and together, we will defeat them!
The First three games are a miracle of storytelling, one of those rare gems that changes your perspective and broadens your mind JUST a LITTLE for having played it. They are eternally marked on our souls. #N7forLife Andromeda is about beginnings. It is the start of a new story, and if you progress with the memory quests has enough ties to the original that you can clearly tell it is the same Universe. Please for the love of the game, view it in its own light. It is magnificent, but it is meant to be a new experience, a new galaxy, and a very different array of stakes, people, and stories. Still phenomenal.
This song is perfect, it captures the feeling of the last game, fighting your last battle after a long journey, so much misery and sadness because you know this is goodbye. Great work from the composer
Here it is 7 years later and I still feel the same way after hearing this. This is one song that will last forever and I will always have the same emotions.
It's strange, but I always feel proud of TH-camrs who I've watched for a while eventually start pumping out proper looking videos. And that's not a slam against and of your older content. I wouldn't have subscribed if I didn't like your stuff way back then. What I mean is that it warms my heart seeing people who are genuinely talented starting to get recognition for the things they work hard on. Of course this production was a joint effort and I just made myself laugh at the word "joint," but regardless... My point is that you've come a long way and it's great to see all these videos coming out and looking great. Keep it up girl and don't start getting cocky either! The flame dies the lighter believes it'll burn forever...
Hey thanks a lot, I really appreciate that and the fact that you've been watching since my older videos :) It's actually been really rewarding going from those low quality older ones to what I'm able to do now because you guys have directly helped me achieve this! I didn't make any money the first 2 years I posted videos so for a while I couldn't afford the nicer videos, and I also had a day job so I couldn't really put in the time either, but eventually when I started releasing albums you guys showed your support enough for me to reinvest and create more albums, I eventually quit my day job and started pursuing this full time and I couldn't be happier. Now between people purchasing my music and supporting my videos on Patreon, I can work with professionals from time to time and also afford upgrades in equipment for my home videos! Sometimes it felt like a struggle getting to this point, but I know I wouldn't be here without all of you and I'm so incredibly grateful and always will be because you're helping me live my dream :)
8 years later, I finally play the entire trilogy and discover my favorite violinist did a cover of the best score of the game. Literally have a tear in my eye
This video brought back all the emotions. I remember the first time I played the trilogy. Then when there were so many losses in ME3. Mordin, Anderson, Thane, so many people
Daniel Jones the indoctrination theory falls apart if you realised that the third game does not follow the same story as the fist two, that is why there are huge contradictions in me3 based on what you have previously learned. an example of this is that in me3 the catalyst (the citadel) created the reapers. in me1 sovereign tells you the reapers created the citadel. there was actually an original ending to me3 that they threw out that was 10,000 better and actually made what sovereign said make more sense.
The way I personally see it is that the reason me3 is such a contradiction is due to the indoctrination attempts. the child says the catalyst created the reapers but I believe this is just a lie to convince you the kid is something more than shepards imagination. I may be entirely wrong though. Where can I find out more about the original ending?
Daniel Jones The Catalyst was created by the Leviathan race to end the conflicts between Organics and Synthetics. The Catalyst systematically chose the Leviathans as its first purge, and created the very first reaper based on their likeness -- the Harbinger.
Mass effect 3 was a good game from music to voice acting and story. It was a beautiful experience that I'll always remember and cherish. The only flaw was the ending not the whole thing the game should be appreciated , it was both creative and meaningful. I hope Mass Effect 4 will be just that and more *-*
Oh god, that tore me up. The Mass Effect trilogy are some of the most emotional games, if not stories in general for me, and this was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for this. I don't want to cry, but the more I listen to this, the harder that becomes. I think I need to go back and play the trilogy again.
I can't listen to this without getting choked up. This evokes something deep within that to me is beyond a video game. Thank you both for this lovely rendition.
I sometimes get asked why I still play video games given I'm a 38 year old male. This is usually followed by a comment about video games being a kids toy. I calmly tell them that it's not a "toy" but is rather a entertainment medium same as movies, TV or music. There are of course kid themed versions of all that but a lot of it is adult themed as well. I enjoy games like Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dragon Age, various Star Wars games, The Last of Us, etc. because they're generally developed for gamers who enjoy a good story, good game play and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that all the examples I listed had amazing musical scores to them as well. The music really helps with the emotion of the game and this excellent rendition of An End, Once and For All really sets the mood. Also, both of you ladies looks fantastic in your N7 themed dresses.
+Daniel Kunkle don't blame you mass effect is the best game series of this genre. I played it 6 times all way through 1-3 and I can play this on piano.
+Daniel Kunkle I'm 39 and I've been playing games since the original atari. I enjoy them immensely. From action packed shooters like DOOM to riveting story lines like the ME series, It's enjoyment for all ages!
(I only played ME about a few months ago) though my Shepard survived the end, this whole sequence had me crying like a bitch because I thought Shep was really dead and I was never gonna see anyone again, Garrus, Joker, Wrex, Grunt..... Tali :'( I just wanted to build that house, but then Shepard took the breath, and I don't think I've ever been so happy about something in a video game in my entire life, you did an excellent job paying this song :)
I just got to play again recently, and I feel exactly the same. I'm quite sad that the breathing scene was the end though... we can't actually see the reaper-free world with Shep's view :(
The ending was bad but I don't really care. I loved the game and can't wait for mass effect 4. A first look with the developers at E3 showed all new characters.
fear not because i can help you in a way. if you are up for a good read m.fanfiction.net/s/8260224/1/ it will most likely fit the criteria of your play through. for me it matched my play through perfectly
Viking Warlord I don't ever read fanfiction, like ever at all, but I read a certain story because I was looking for more closure (not this one that actually fit it better than this one) and am now at peace with it and happy, though I will read this for the hell of it
Reasons why this is awesome: 1; Mass Effect is my favorite video game series. 2; Mass Effect also has absolutely amazing music. 3; Taylor Davis is one of my favorite musicians. 4;........classified. 5; Genuinely beautiful regardless of the 4 reasons above.
of course kootra would comment on this. i have to agree i haven't played the games but this is absolutely wonderful and thismakes me want to play the game. Keep up the great work Taylor your music is amazing
You can only have one first impression, and the majority of people didn't have that as their first. I was lucky and waited to play so avoided the disappointment. Ending was great for me.
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it (thanks to the ME3 ending). It reminds me of the love that Shepard had for Ashley (i chose Kaidan as my loss and made Ashley my loved one) and it all going to waste as Shepard sacrifices himself to make sure the generations that came after him would live in peace. Mass Effect is more than a game, its an experience. As we play through the game we grow strong bonds with the characters within it like EDI, Joker, Tali, Liara and the many other characters. We can even fall in love with someone in the game and we can watch as that relationship blossoms, we can really feel how strong that relationship is towards the end. I played as a MaleShep and as soon as I set my eyes on Ashley I fell in love with her. When I got to the end i chose to control the reapers as I felt that Shepard wouldn't truly be gone, he would only be inside the reapers. But when the flashbacks of Admiral Anderson and Ashley started going that's when I started bawling my eyes out, it was as if i was feeling the grief that Ashley would have had to go through. Not a lot of games can do this... The Mass Effect experience is like a dream, its amazing while your inside but unfortunately like every other dream.....we all have to wake up at some point p.s. I love how you even went the extra mile by wearing the N7 shirt/dress. Subbed :)
WOW!!! That's the best way to explain it...I get goosebumps listening to it. All the feelings & emotion of that final moment of Mass effect comes across in this & a really heartbreaking & breathtaking musical piece & an outstanding performance.
darkhope97 natural way is blue or green.green promises peace in the milkyway cus they all united as one and that would preserve life.or blue and u could moderate
That was simply beautiful and amazing, that track makes me feel so many emotions and it is just so majestic. I honestly would love it if you also did "I Was Lost Without You". By the way, awesome dress.
This could be an ode to the fall of Bioware. :( These games are something special and I don't think we will ever see anything like them again. The golden era of gaming.
I haven't finish ME3 yet but the beginning of he song tuck into my heart and been looking everywhere for songs like this. This is really cool. Something about this songs is beautiful and brings back memories.
I happened to discover this roughly the same time as I finished Mass Effect 3 (with same character). I can honestly say that I am glad to have found it, it captures the poignancy and emotion of original tune and I can't imagine anyone else doing it better.
Bruh I remember when she first released these videos and I commented . Millions of views later and subs . Taylor you did it . Has always been my favorite to cover music with a violin. Can't wait to see when she announces another live show on TH-cam. #og fans
Im right now playing what most be my 890538593093580920 playthrough of the game. Best Game series so far ever created. Oh and also. Awesome Awesome song :)
So true mate it is the best game series ever i think i have made the most badass looking shepard ever im biased though lol i have a few vids on my channel check them out and see what you think but this music is so stunning really captures the sombre mood at the end but i really have not experienced a game that has left me feeling so empty at the end just gotta play it again though enjoy ur reaper bashing
Björn J I dont know if its the best ... but it ceartanly is a great game I nearly poured 1200 hrs of gaming in. I dont know if i like it as a Game but I certainly LOVE the depth of the Masseffect Univers with its species, economie, kultur and indivudel charackters.
For all the hate this game got, finishing out the series gave me a feeling I have yet to experience again. Bioware had massive success with these games, and I can't wait for when a singlepalyer narrative trilogy (even two or a single game) capture what Mass Effect captured and made the player feel, from the music to the characters to the story, it was just so compelling. Of course they weren't completely perfect, we only remember the good parts, but there were so many good parts which remain in our memory. This is why I will never go back and replay a great game again. Never went back to replay the ME trilogy dissecting the game picking all the different choices. Never went back and played FC3 after that epic ending. Never went back to AC 1 or 2 (before they became repetitive and shit AC:BF was decent) because they all just left this good feeling, a good taste in my mouth, a good memory, I didn't want to spoil by going back and experiencing all the bad things again (mostly aged graphics). We need the game industry to pull back in this direction, constructing masterpieces that can be praised for years to come. Compelling narratives that become our second life, publishers and companies that *care* about the very people that keep them in business. Games can be an art form, but right now it seems people are just throwing their poo on a canvass.
There will be peace with synthetics in the future. Tali knows. Joker knows. I'm sorry I had to leave you Liara, I'm sorry Kaidan, Ashley, EDI and Legion, but Shepard had to make the call that nobody else could.
gassnake2004 lol dought it.i mean the reapers got how many dominate races?asari,salarians,krogan if cured,humans,turian,volus,quarians kinda.each makes a soverign ship XD.also lets not forget they can take control of geth and make another collector like race.what im trying 2 say is that unless the future species can supass all prvious species there fucked.or just clone calros,bitch bigger than a sovergin class reaper.sovrrigs are 2000m long,kalrois is 2800 or so
Steej You're referring to Leaving Earth of which An End, Once And For All is basically a reprise. Leaving Earth contains the 'reaper sound' and accompanies the Normandy's departure, leaving Anderson behind. This piece here plays at the very end after you have made your choice and the crucible fires, when the reaper threat, symbolized with the blaring horn sound, is over one way or another.
Aaaaaaaand here I go again.
1. Find a video about Mass Effect.
2. Remember how incredible the franchise was.
3. Get blown away by nostalgia.
4. Try not to cry.
5. Cry a lot.
6. Re-install the games.
I find myself replaying the games twice a year at least. I just keep mine and all dlc installed permanently

I'm literally still here playing this on an endless loop. Everyone who comes back to this even after all this time is a legend.

As much as I didn't like the ending, this music still gives me goosebumps because of the profound sadness it evokes. This is just beautiful.
8 years later, I finally play the entire trilogy and discover my favorite violinist did a cover of the best score of the game. Literally have a tear in my eye
This video brought back all the emotions. I remember the first time I played the trilogy. Then when there were so many losses in ME3. Mordin, Anderson, Thane, so many people
The ending of Mass Effect 3 was brilliant..some people just don't understand it, they were only expecting "happy ending"...
YOU are the one who does not understand the ending for you to make such a statement. i assume you have only played the third?
- Harbinger - Indoctrination theory ftw! (Played all three games)
Daniel Jones the indoctrination theory falls apart if you realised that the third game does not follow the same story as the fist two, that is why there are huge contradictions in me3 based on what you have previously learned.

*There are very few songs (I can count them on one hand) that I find so hauntingly beautiful that I'm left in tears. This is one of them.*
Oh god, that tore me up. The Mass Effect trilogy are some of the most emotional games, if not stories in general for me, and this was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for this. I don't want to cry, but the more I listen to this, the harder that becomes. I think I need to go back and play the trilogy again.
Don't. You'll only cry more.
I can't listen to this without getting choked up. This evokes something deep within that to me is beyond a video game. Thank you both for this lovely rendition.

The music really helps with the emotion of the game and this excellent rendition of An End, Once and For All really sets the mood. Also, both of you ladies looks fantastic in your N7 themed dresses.
Don't feel bad about playing games. Most of them are made for adults and at least they don't make people as stupid as the tv does
+Daniel Kunkle don't blame you mass effect is the best game series of this genre. I played it 6 times all way through 1-3 and I can play this on piano.
+Daniel Kunkle I'm 39 and I've been playing games since the original atari. I enjoy them immensely. From action packed shooters like DOOM to riveting story lines like the ME series, It's enjoyment for all ages!
two ninerSavoy Yeah, I got my start on the NES to tell you the truth. My first game was Super Mario Bros that was combined with Duck Hunt.
It gives me the shivers
Beautifully played by both of you. A lovely haunting rendition of one of my favourite theme tunes. Thanks!
(I only played ME about a few months ago) though my Shepard survived the end, this whole sequence had me crying like a bitch because I thought Shep was really dead and I was never gonna see anyone again, Garrus, Joker, Wrex, Grunt..... Tali :'( I just wanted to build that house, but then Shepard took the breath, and I don't think I've ever been so happy about something in a video game in my entire life, you did an excellent job paying this song :)
I just got to play again recently, and I feel exactly the same. I'm quite sad that the breathing scene was the end though... we can't actually see the reaper-free world with Shep's view :(
The ending was bad but I don't really care. I loved the game and can't wait for mass effect 4. A first look with the developers at E3 showed all new characters.
Louis Wolliston the end of mass effect 3 was predictable dude he has to die but i was expecting an epic death
fear not because i can help you in a way. if you are up for a good read m.fanfiction.net/s/8260224/1/
it will most likely fit the criteria of your play through. for me it matched my play through perfectly
Viking Warlord I don't ever read fanfiction, like ever at all, but I read a certain story because I was looking for more closure (not this one that actually fit it better than this one) and am now at peace with it and happy, though I will read this for the hell of it
Still waiting for Garrus..
...in that bar
Boi....
We'll be watch his back...
@@GeckoInept yes we will......
Reasons why this is awesome:
1; Mass Effect is my favorite video game series.
2; Mass Effect also has absolutely amazing music.
3; Taylor Davis is one of my favorite musicians.
4;........classified.
5; Genuinely beautiful regardless of the 4 reasons above.
I dont know Taylor, Мass Effect пройден раз на 7, с кайфом, я обожаю эту игру
This song always manages to bring a welling tear to my eye, incredible.
so many memories attached to this song.... mass effect was brilliant. RIP mordin. crazy old frog.
quite wonderful this was
of course kootra would comment on this. i have to agree i haven't played the games but this is absolutely wonderful and thismakes me want to play the game. Keep up the great work Taylor your music is amazing
KOOTRA
i know but all my friends have played and spoiled it for for me cause i know what happens. so i lost interest in it
dgrayman1231
I think you need new friends.
dgrayman1231 You should play it anyway. Ending aside it's still a great and fun experience. :)
The Mass Effect music always captivated me.
Not sure what is better: The absolutely phenomenal musical skill or the N7 dresses...
I love this song so much, and I personally believe that the extended ending doesn't get nearly enough credit
You can only have one first impression, and the majority of people didn't have that as their first. I was lucky and waited to play so avoided the disappointment. Ending was great for me.
The whole game is like one big climax capping off the trilogy. Loved every minute of it
This song brings tears to my eyes in so many levels.... Sad moment in the game beautiful song and skillfully done by you both.
And now i know where to go to listen this theme, thanks.
My jaws drops automatically. great performance mind blowing music. One of the best games ever!!!
Thank you!
Taylor Davis +1 for the cute smile after the tricky parts
+Taylor Davis
I look at you and think that the violin in your hands has become almost a universal tool
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it (thanks to the ME3 ending). It reminds me of the love that Shepard had for Ashley (i chose Kaidan as my loss and made Ashley my loved one) and it all going to waste as Shepard sacrifices himself to make sure the generations that came after him would live in peace.
Mass Effect is more than a game, its an experience. As we play through the game we grow strong bonds with the characters within it like EDI, Joker, Tali, Liara and the many other characters. We can even fall in love with someone in the game and we can watch as that relationship blossoms, we can really feel how strong that relationship is towards the end. I played as a MaleShep and as soon as I set my eyes on Ashley I fell in love with her. When I got to the end i chose to control the reapers as I felt that Shepard wouldn't truly be gone, he would only be inside the reapers. But when the flashbacks of Admiral Anderson and Ashley started going that's when I started bawling my eyes out, it was as if i was feeling the grief that Ashley would have had to go through. Not a lot of games can do this...
The Mass Effect experience is like a dream, its amazing while your inside but unfortunately like every other dream.....we all have to wake up at some point
p.s. I love how you even went the extra mile by wearing the N7 shirt/dress. Subbed :)
Don't know if you knew but Shepard can survive the destroy ending.
This brought a tear to my eye.... Mass Effect is truly a masterpeice in every way. Allso musically... You your cover was just beautiful!!!
WOW!!! That's the best way to explain it...I get goosebumps listening to it. All the feelings & emotion of that final moment of Mass effect comes across in this & a really heartbreaking & breathtaking musical piece & an outstanding performance.
вот это то, чего я ждал!
Cталин одобряет!
this made me want to go back out and fight the reapers one more time, but I don't know if I can handle seeing everyone die again.
dude hows that in my first (and only to the moment playtrouhgt) almost all characters survive
darkhope97 depends on playthrough style and person.im pue paragon so its easy for me.just listen and ull hear the answers
TheNukedGamer sure dude but at least for me felt the natural way
darkhope97 natural way is blue or green.green promises peace in the milkyway cus they all united as one and that would preserve life.or blue and u could moderate
TheNukedGamer For me, only red felt natural. Watch the indoctrination theory. It's fascinating.
That was simply beautiful and amazing, that track makes me feel so many emotions and it is just so majestic. I honestly would love it if you also did "I Was Lost Without You". By the way, awesome dress.
omg! omg! You almost bring tears in my eyes, beautifully played, remembered me whole Mass Effect Universe.
I'm not crying, just the final scene of the mass effect hit the eye (((
Феерично! Fanstastic! Потрясающее! Amazing! Эпично ! Epic!
Стократно плюсую!
This could be an ode to the fall of Bioware. :( These games are something special and I don't think we will ever see anything like them again. The golden era of gaming.
Why am I just seeing this for the first time?!?!?
SomeBlackGuy Didn’t know you were a fan of Mass Effect?!
SomeBlackGuy Lol I'm just now watching this. I just finished ME3. The withdrawals are making me skim through the soundtrack :-P
Hey man keep up the great works with your videos. Glad you are also enjoying such a talented woman as her.
This is one of my fav pieces of music in the franchise and you have done it justice ...amazing
I haven't finish ME3 yet but the beginning of he song tuck into my heart and been looking everywhere for songs like this. This is really cool. Something about this songs is beautiful and brings back memories.
i Usualy dont comment on videos but just wanted to say thanks for this amazing song , i just love this song thanks!!
Well thank you, I appreciate the comment for sure :)
The Feels...
***** The Feels on the bus go round and round
Why Bioware??!!
The Omnipresent Nerd
I was going to build a house on Rannoch.
***** Because the ending IS sad dude. The trilogy was EPIC. Its tough some of the decisions one has to make in the game...but you take them.
The Omnipresent Nerd And I was gonna be a father to little blue babies. Fortunately, Shepard can survive...
All Fleets! The Crucible is armed. Disengage and head to the rendezvous point.
I repeat! Disengage and get the hell out of here.
Usually don't care when a person puts their own twist to something I think is already good, but I couldn't stop listening to this. Amazing
I happened to discover this roughly the same time as I finished Mass Effect 3 (with same character). I can honestly say that I am glad to have found it, it captures the poignancy and emotion of original tune and I can't imagine anyone else doing it better.

Their silence is your answer
I'm commander Shepard and this is my favorite music on the citadel.
" You did good son - I'm...proud of you "
Listened to this so many times now. Beautifully played.
Got chills down my spine listening to this. Absolutely beautiful.
For me Mass Effect 1-3 is one of the best Game Trilogy ever.
It sounds so good, awesome job both of you!
oh man this song always gives me tears ;-;
Bruh I remember when she first released these videos and I commented . Millions of views later and subs . Taylor you did it . Has always been my favorite to cover music with a violin. Can't wait to see when she announces another live show on TH-cam. #og fans
Possibly the best arrangement I've heard yet. Thank you!
Beautiful!!
Shepard...
Shepard.
Shepard :c
Wrex.
Liara
guitarwhelp Grunt
The saddest, most badass piano in the history of gaming
Mass Effect 3's soundtrack was so epic, this cover is great
Im not crying.... you are!
Man, I hope people in the future look back and remember us for music like this, and not freaking Kanye and Niki Minaje
This. Is fucking music. Kanye and Nicki are just twats talking shit.
Lewis Graver Wait, who's talking shit? Because it looks like you.
Wow i forgot i even typed that, still stand by it. Gotta love Anaconda. The song basically gave me cancer.
DupeDupeftw Don't worry man... It's still a legend💓
This has just made my fucking day brilliant
Im right now playing what most be my 890538593093580920 playthrough of the game. Best Game series so far ever created. Oh and also. Awesome Awesome song :)
Wow. I've only played it 5 times...
Alright havent played 890538593093580920 times but maybe what i think is my 11th playthrough or something
Björn J I have 60+
So true mate it is the best game series ever i think i have made the most badass looking shepard ever im biased though lol i have a few vids on my channel check them out and see what you think but this music is so stunning really captures the sombre mood at the end but i really have not experienced a game that has left me feeling so empty at the end just gotta play it again though enjoy ur reaper bashing
Björn J
I dont know if its the best ... but it ceartanly is a great game I nearly poured 1200 hrs of gaming in. I dont know if i like it as a Game but I certainly LOVE the depth of the Masseffect Univers with its species, economie, kultur and indivudel charackters.
This is one soundtrack that always forces chills down my spine
Mass Effect 3 was so full of sadness, even the epic victory endings are tinged with sadness.
a sad ending, memorable. This game will live for ever in my memories
Oh YEAH I LIKE THIS ! MORE MORE !!
Urrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkk right in the feels >.
For all the hate this game got, finishing out the series gave me a feeling I have yet to experience again. Bioware had massive success with these games, and I can't wait for when a singlepalyer narrative trilogy (even two or a single game) capture what Mass Effect captured and made the player feel, from the music to the characters to the story, it was just so compelling. Of course they weren't completely perfect, we only remember the good parts, but there were so many good parts which remain in our memory. This is why I will never go back and replay a great game again. Never went back to replay the ME trilogy dissecting the game picking all the different choices. Never went back and played FC3 after that epic ending. Never went back to AC 1 or 2 (before they became repetitive and shit AC:BF was decent) because they all just left this good feeling, a good taste in my mouth, a good memory, I didn't want to spoil by going back and experiencing all the bad things again (mostly aged graphics). We need the game industry to pull back in this direction, constructing masterpieces that can be praised for years to come. Compelling narratives that become our second life, publishers and companies that *care* about the very people that keep them in business. Games can be an art form, but right now it seems people are just throwing their poo on a canvass.
Good luck getting a brilliant single player narrative from Bioware :P
Im literally crying, this has to be the greatest thing ive ever heard in my life, bravo, just bravo
I absolutely LOVE this. You guys are amazing together.
There will be peace with synthetics in the future. Tali knows. Joker knows. I'm sorry I had to leave you Liara, I'm sorry Kaidan, Ashley, EDI and Legion, but Shepard had to make the call that nobody else could.
they would be proud of Shepard and the future
+gassnake2004
You're right
gassnake2004 lol dought it.i mean the reapers got how many dominate races?asari,salarians,krogan if cured,humans,turian,volus,quarians kinda.each makes a soverign ship XD.also lets not forget they can take control of geth and make another collector like race.what im trying 2 say is that unless the future species can supass all prvious species there fucked.or just clone calros,bitch bigger than a sovergin class reaper.sovrrigs are 2000m long,kalrois is 2800 or so
Beautiful, бесподобно....
Really good. Glad it's not interrupted by the bloody fog horn of the original.
"HOOONK"
This is nice to listen to.
Steej You're referring to Leaving Earth of which An End, Once And For All is basically a reprise. Leaving Earth contains the 'reaper sound' and accompanies the Normandy's departure, leaving Anderson behind. This piece here plays at the very end after you have made your choice and the crucible fires, when the reaper threat, symbolized with the blaring horn sound, is over one way or another.
I thought it was "BWAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Words can not describe how amazing this is and both of you look wonderful.
This absolutely brought tears to my eyes.
