Guide this one to where the traveler never tires... where the lover never leaves... and the hungry never starve. Guide this one to where all hunters return... where all storms become still... and where all stars show the path. Guide this one... that they may be a companion to you - as they were to me.
This scene always make me cry. I never cried playing a video game until I played the ME series. RIP Thane, you shall always been remembered as the Normandy crew's finest.
This feelings, man.... This memories about 13 yo me, playing Mass Effect 3 after finishing ME 1-2 as soon as they were released, and then finishing ME 3, enjoying every moment of this game... And then, it just ends, and there are no more Shepard's adventures, no more Garrus and others from his crew, no more games and stories like this. I still remember this feeling of emptiness, as if I realised that there won't be games like this. Yes, it's An End, Once And For All
Only two gamming series managed to leave me with the feeling of emptiness... Witcher and Mass Effect. I just want one more story... I know, that we will always want one more... But goddamnit, this series was a masterpiece. Most of the characters in ME series has more personality in them than many real-life people. Even if they won't give us another game... i want to see Sheppard and Tali to make their home on the Rannoch...
“I’m proud of you” first time I saw Anderson die. Man that hit like I watched my wonderful grandpa pass. And I never knew either grandfathers. Mordins death was another one. 😭 The games had their own technical issues. But they were still masterpieces
Anderson does remind me of my late grandfather, too. I was using a mod that restores a final conversation with Anderson, so he was telling my Shep that he thought she'd make a great mother after the war, if the did choose to settle down and raise a family. Losing Mordin and Legion were also hard-hitting for me.
2022..Playing through the Legendary Edition. Had the entire series played on XBOX then PC.....New games can have the best fighting systems, bleeding edge graphics...but nothing holds a candle to this series, absolute masterpiece.
I just finished my first playthrough of the series, and I cried during the final scene. Yes, maybe because it was over, and maybe because I lost some characters I cared about (Legion, my robochild), but I think I cried because I know that when I get the urge to play through these games again, they will never have the same impact they had on me this first time. I will never again feel the same awe that I felt playing these games. Thank you Bioware for making this trilogy, but fuck you for breaking my heart
Play insanity if you havint. My second play through was on insanity and i felt so much closer to the characters and to my squad. I got more invested in them and relied on them in fire fights and I discovered at least 10% more of the games because i was hell bent determined to get "The" Ending. I found dialogue and whole scenes i had other wise missed. (I also recommend Vanguard for class, cause that is easily the most fun gameplay wise and there is just something special and rewarding about playin gon the hardest difficulty with a 'high risk, high reward' fight style like vanguard and the charge. Soldiers might be best in the frontline, but Vanguards thrive in the enemies' lines lol)
Every playthrough brings new opportunities, new choices, even when still opting for a positive take. And it never ceases to bring me that wonder. If you have Legendary on PC, mod it heavily. There's cut content that's restored, other things shuffled or reordered, sometimes additions, gameplay changes (combat remastered rebalances ME2 to drop power weapons, and it feels really good to play). Recruit Legion before anyone else and both get Tali and attend her trial with it without facing the repercussions of trying to do that late-game and losing crew of the Normandy. Play the other gender of Shep with a new class you've never done, and face an opposite-gender clone during the end of the Citadel DLC. Restore Pinnacle Station for the combat arena in the first game. Have Conrad Verner actually remember you correctly the entire trilogy, despite being a bumbling fool. Finally get a paragon completion to Zaeed's loyalty mission and still earn his loyalty if you're really fast at saving the workers. The trilogy is so vast that there's so many different ways things can unfold, smaller storylines, bigger storylines, who you hear say different things because of special connections from a character to a situation, and especially with extending what was cut or rebuilding it. I think you'll love it all over again.
@@ceralor This, just this. The mods breathe so much new life into the game and open scenarios that you never would imagine and bring so much new excitement to new playthroughs, I didn't need them myself but I wanted to experience new opportunities that the mods deliver. I always will come back to Shepard and the crew of the Normandy. No game series has my heart like this one.
I am not sure why, but when I made the choice to leave my abusive wife about 2 years ago, I was drawn back to this song. It felt like a 3-year battle that I had finally chosen to end. I myself find it unusual that these two things were connected, but when I listened, I knew that no matter the cost of my decision, I had made the right one. The beginning of the song helped me to reflect upon my experiences with this woman, and to assert that what she did was not right, and that I deserved better. The ending of this song is what gave me the strength to move on, and achieve independence and freedom again. I have since found someone much better for me. It is amazing how music can be so close to our life experiences!
In my case i have known my girl since my birth.she was and is my life but she cant understand that. I changed a lot for her but its same for her .i work hard for her and do everything for her but…no,one day she met one guy who she fell in love with . Im weighting this with me crying. I don’t know what i did wRong but this makes me cry this make me think ok suicide and….. many other crazy things but ….i have realized that you have future ,you are your future and you create that future which you will live . I have future i will find better soul and livemate who will love me until my last words…….
Good for you. No matter what there's one rule. Always have the energy to leave those who abuse your goodwill and save more of that for a new possibility that deserves it. Never backwards always forward. This is commander Shepard and this is my favourate store in the citadel;))))
my biggest regret is that I wouldn't be able to experience the story first-hand again. I was invested so much in the choices I made, that another playthrough with alternate choices just to see how things play out wouldn't feel genuine and immersive. I really really hope that ME4 will take us back into the universe of the ME trilogy.
Yeah I think most of us that played the games wished we could start all over and go through it again, it was just that good. I also hope the next ME will do the series justice and not fall apart like Andromeda did.
You feel so great listening to this song as you see the Reapers being ripped appart by the Crucible's energy and see your allies cheering in triumph! It feels like shedding a huge burden and tasting freedom again! The Catalyst didn't have the last word, WE DID!
But when you played the game without dlc ending than those happiness dissapears quickly after seeing what's happening. Mass relays completely destroyed. Normandy crew landed on some planet starting a new life there. And no info if someone survived the explosion of mass relays.
I made Shep crule, made decisions I hated to save the galaxy from the reapers, killed the rachni a queen, killed wrex, saved a cold blooded murder and killed her mother, left the council to die, killed Mordin, sabotaged the genophage cure...... But from all that evil, I chose the synthesis ending... And saved everyone. Rip my Shep, made the choices others wouldn't and truly saved everyone, gave life to synthetics. Now my Shep, sits beside my warden Commander to ruthless but ultimately heroic figures ready to fight whatever comes next.
"You were born to do this" -Garrus Vakarian "You trying to make me cry Shepard" -Urdnot Wrex "Why is it when someone says with all 'due respect' they really mean *kiss my ass*" -Ashley Williams "You will always be my captain" -Tali vas Normandy "I'll always be looking down on you" -Commander Shepard And so much more lines from our beloved characters from this legendary franchise, I'm glad I played it ❤️👏👍
"James told me there is an old saying on here Earth...." if you can finish this quote AND if you also instantly know who said it, then you are a true fan.
Because it brings the many buried emotions to the surface. For a moment you can break and stare into the abyss. If only for a moment you can feel the surge of determination. And maybe for just a fleeting moment you can feel the pride in victory.
@@justcreed4024 Ever since I completed the trilogy years ago, it’s been my go to music to go to sleep and now that I’ve replayed it all over again through the Legendary Edition, it brought all those feelings back out 😭
Still remember popping this into my 360 back then and going into the ship watching the Reapers destroy anything that stood in there way watching escape ships being blown down while Sheperd just looked angry and sad that there was nothing he/she could do with this song playing made the scene a lot more emotional and I enjoyed it
I finished my first playthrough of 1-3 almost a week ago. Yet, I still cannot get past the grief. Shepard is Tali's home. She said "come back to me," and Shepard couldn't. Even without the Talimance, which has devasted me still, I'm so sad there won't be anymore adventures with the gang. Is it immature for me to refuse Shepard's death and make a headcanon where he survives? The message of the game is to choose and live with the consequences. Have I grown as a player if I can't accept any ending offered; anything the story finishes with?
Maybe, maybe not. The replayability from different choices, different responses, different partners, playing the other gender and romancing Garrus instead, another class sometimes even unlocking interrupts (Engineer on Omega in 3). Mods restore cut content and can alter gameplay flow, including rerouting DLC timelines to fit the story instead of instant availability. Some even alter the ending, some are too happy ending, others can force an ending choice instead of even having the star child exist. Some can alter the dream sequences in 3 to be led by people Shepard knows who have died, and turns them into a much stronger nightmare driven by those they know and fear. See what happens if Udina is selected for the council instead, save the council if you didn't the first time. Be an asshole to those who deserve it. Every playthrough I've done has felt new. Precious playthrough I used the LE3 Diversity Mod that adds a ton of things, and I felt like it was a new game. Did the same but with Project Variety mod this time and same feeling. Even without mods, sometimes knowing what can happen to a character hurts more when you spend time with them, or may make you make different decisions this time, and live with _those_ consequences. There's always consequences, of every decision.
Played the trilogy twice and found out that Liara loves Shepard no matter who he chose, even if it were never Liara herself. Mordins Death hit me hard.
I only have recently played all three games and I will say for sure that mass effect Is a gem in gaming and with mass effect 4 or 5 (whenever you want to call it) coming out in a couple of years I am sure I will enjoy it as much and the three game I just play and thease games are some of the few games that can get emotional. all of the characters in the games I love and feel sad every time one of them died or sacrificed them selves of the grater good.
thank you bioware it is a great game series all the things you done and i am only 12 and i completed all of mass effect 1 2 and 3 it made my heart really proud and all the characters all of them are my favorite but my really favorite is Garrus Vakarian he well be my bro forever thank you so much bioware and it is one of my favorite games out there i got nothing else to say but at the end of mass effect 3 it made me cry thank you bioware at the end you made it i am proud
I like this comparison, but personally, I compared it more to Reach. In Reach and ME3, you personally lost, so that a brighter future could come to pass. A future you would ultimately never see.
I want either this or Take My Hand to play at my funeral. If this one then just the beginning on repeat as I don't feel that there will be any victory in my death. Those around me will find their strength without me. That will be their victory.
as tumultuous as my relationship with ME3 has been, I'll never deny that the soundtrack excelled at setting the tone That tone being "no matter what happens, it'll all be over soon"
I liked Tali a lot While playing the game. Even though she was my main choise as a romantic long term, i did try all the other available options once, except for the Krogan female. :)) imagine going to Tuchanka to flirt with a Krogan female. Would the males respect your courage or kill you on sight?
