![Mass Effect 2 - Normandy: Galaxy Map / Scanning Themes (1 Hour of Music) [4k]](/img/n.gif)
I like how they reuse this theme in ME2 and ME3 for special moments that are supposed to tug at our heartstrings. And it works, every damn time.
Of course they would, like we can all hear how majestic and beautiful and peaceful this is, I'd be mad if they didn't use it
Especially during Liara's gift to Shepard before the push on Earth in ME3. Many theorize that the memory she shares with you is her birth, or the beginning of her consciousness. I think that's fitting, because this piece, titled "Vigil," is used when Vigil informs Shepard about the Reapers and how to preserve life. And so, the last time we hear it, that being Liara's gift, I think it's fitting that it be during a moment that symbolizes the new beginning of life.
When vigil talks about the last protheans awakening from cryostasis and realizing that there weren’t enough of them to rebuild their species… with this music playing it always makes me emotional.
every time
Bro I swear!!
I wish I could experience this series for the first time again :(
As do I, so many great memories with this series. My favorite game series of all time.

Same here
Such an epic game
First place for me, doesn't even worth debating. I'm sure i will pick it up again in the future, if nothing else to reminisce about my 20's.
You can just go buy a copy like I did they are like 7 dollars it's a really great game
Eden Prime - The first stop in an unforgettable adventure that would span across years.
Eden Prime was an amazing opening, but poor, poor Jenkins, nobody told him to change the batteries in his kinetic barriers :(
Shame the ending was shit.
@@ft1992 Aye, they dropped the ball big time.
@@kompav5621 The sky is the limit with Mass Effect 4 now announced. I have faith, I want to have faith.
@@fenrys_v We'll see. The trilogy gave me years of substantial enjoyment which I am glad to have experienced, so I ain't fussed if the fourth turns out one way or the other. I harbour no expectations.
It took me hours to press the Start Button.
When I noticed the awesomeness of the combination of the visual and audio of the ME1 loading screen, I knew I was about to begin a mesmerizing enthralling experience like no other game could offer. The artistic quality of the soundtrack was so astounding and so nicely matching the visuals that I knew the production team had put their very best effort into this game.
That moment when, during the opening the dialogue wheel poped up for the first time and I was like... wait, wait WAIT.... THIS IS GAMEPLAY!!! The visual style was blending so nicely with the atmosphere and music I was sure it was still a cutscene. Truly the moment when I became a gamer. Also the final section from meeting Vergil to the end was so hype. I'm not sure if I've ever been more invested into a game.
When I beat the trilogy for the first time last week.. I looked back at my Mass Effect 1 saves with this playing in the background and I had a happy cry... I wish I had these memories from before like so many others but I am very happy I could experience these games for the first time.
I will always remember you, Lucy Shepard, my Shepard.
@@Viewable11 I originally started with ME: 2 first and the Start screen BLEW my mind back then and still does in Legendary edition.
I just sat there and cried when I booted up the legendary edition
There will never be a game like this again...
correct. :(
this was peak gaming era in general
You've got that right, few more years and it's only ever going to be downhill from there. Just enjoy the greatness while it lasts because that period is coming to an end.
You never know,maybe one day a game like this will rise back up from its grave maybe not mass effect,but something just like this but new,maybe better(but let’s be honest nothing was better than this game like this)
Good luck N7 FANS

Listening to this music gives me hope, but seeing the reality of EA....there should change all the managers there
yamato2301 well if you lose hope then your really telling yourself there will be no game companies can change you know maybe not always,and it takes a long time for that too so don’t lose hope
This one brings nostalgia for good old days when Bioware was at its peak, its games were great and the stars were brighter.
yeah. but it was another people
And then came the EA.
Max Shepard yesss on god 👏🏼
@@swtoni4464 I honestly don't know what happens to these developers.
Bioware. Mass Effect, Dragon Age. Dropped the ball with almost all their recent titles.
Blizzard. Warcraft, Starcraft. Overwatch was a spark of hope, but some days it feels they're drifting on reputation alone.
Irrational Games. Bioshock 1, 2, and Infinite had almost universal praise. Rebranded, gone.
Rare. Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie. Where the heck have they gone to?
I mean, at least some devs are still pushing out awesome new stuff, but man, where has the love gone?
@@BlueShellshock digital extremes. great example of not giving the fs about that modern crap tendency, they done unreal tournament, now Warframe is steel good
Didn't see it in the comments and I'm sure most Mass Effect fans know, but this song is called Vigil.
I love that they use this music for one of the most important moments.
It’s also poetic as hell because this is the first song you hear and the last song you hear and the very end of the trilogy. Fuck. My. Heart.
@@wj2429 Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Was it really this long? I haven't noticed any juxtaposition. it seems like one endless composition. But how?...
@@kitandco Gaming Ambience looped it - they are actually REALLY good at it. I recommend looking at more ME1 videos from them, such as Ilos: Archives, Noveria: Port Hanshan Plaza, Citadel: Upper Wards, Citadel: C-SEC Atrium and many more.
Mass Effect was, in a word, magical. There was really nothing quite like it at the time. Could you believe that Elder Scrolls Oblivion came out a year before this?! It was just insane the difference was in storytelling, animations, and overall atmosphere. For its time it was in such a league of its own. Two sequels followed, the Bioware we knew is now gone, and even then I'm not sad it's over. I'm glad it ever happened.
Did you insult Oblivion?
Keep your mouth closed, human trash.
@@Cynwale fanboy fuck of this post
@@Cynwale when it comes to front presentation, theres no dispute at all ME was better.
Nobody said Oblivion was bad. Both do things the other cant.
@@tequilawhiskey Well, at least €A did not use a game engine that, in its very core, is _23 years_ old (NetImmerse), that already looked and felt immensely outdated more than 10 years ago and that has stuff floating over tables etc when you touch it. Or had countless re-releases of their game on various platforms which all came with the very same bugs and glitches the original release had 10 years ago.
@@Furzkampfbomber most of that doesnt really apply to Oblivion though. Its got problems, but its got strengths.
Im probably bias, but i dont think bethesda was nearly as complacent then as they are now.
"Shopping for another house?"
"Beachfront property."
"Claim it fast. It´s a buyer´s market."
"I bet you say that to every guy who gets you a planet."
"Only the cute ones."
Goosebumps
I kinda teared up reading that tf
Goddamn, such a good moment in the series. ME3 is full of those culminating moments, no matter what people say about how it ends. The genophage, the Geth and Quarians, just mmmph. The game manages to make this big galaxy-changing moments also personal through the use of the companions you've gotten to know over the years. All great stuff.
"Does this unit have a soul...?"
"Legion... The answer to your question was "Yes" "
"I know Tali, but... Thank you. Keelah se'lai..."
Totally just made me tear up reading that.
"Legion, you were thinking about when we first met?"
"It was highly significant. You were the first organic to openly cooperate with Geth since the end of the Morning War."
I killed them all. Probably one of the few players that did.

It's 2020 and even after 10 years, I still find myself thinking about Mass Effect 2 more fondly than any game or film before or since. I miss Shep. And Garrus. And Tali. And Wrex. And Liara. And Joker. And the Normandy.
Nothing else has came close to those feels.

This game and Red Dead Redemption 2 gave me slight depression after finishing them; I was so attached to and loved all my companions and the world I’d spent hundreds of hours becoming a part of.
Mass Effect isn’t a game, it’s an experience.
I felt the same exact way for the same games. After you finish them it’s like there’s this void inside of you that you know you can never fill, but the memory of our first experiences will always be there.
You got that beyond right 👍💯💯💯 Mass effect is a one of kind experience!💯
Exactly.
I'd also add Witcher 3 to this list.
Mass effect trilogy and red dead redemption 1&2 will forever be Immaculate stories with endless gaming experiences. I’m grateful to have experienced them.
You should play red dead redemption 1 if you haven't
Scrolling through the comments brings me so much nostalgia. Not many pieces of music can make the hair on the back of my neck stand up, or trigger wonder about the universe. Truly one of the greatest games of all time
I have only recently finished Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2, with all DLC. I am more than 2/3s in Mass Effect 3, with all DLC. Honestly, I cannot recollect myself. I don't, I really don't want the game to end! In my eyes, this trilogy cannot even be described in words, from every point of view possible. I am not a socially awkward person or introvert. I'm married, with kids, I have 3 bros for life. It's just that I grow attached to persons who gain my trust. It may sound stupid, but, that's what happened with the Mass Effect crew, universe, characters, story. It's almost like I can't let go. I still want to be on the Normandy, with all those great people by my side. I shed tears for Kaidan, Mordin, Thane and Legion. I look at Garrus, Wrex and Grunt and see my best friends, my 3 bros for life. And, the best part of it all, I look at Tali, Shepard's best romance, and I see my beloved wife. These games have become such a big part of me and I have played so many great games. I am a sucker for games with great stories. I just never thought Mass Effect would pull me in so, so much, making me miserable thinking about the characters and crewmen I have lost. I hate these games for that, but I absolutely adore them, regardless! It can't be described in words. I have just brokered peace between the Quarians and the Geth and I absolutely cannot decide what to do when the end choice comes. I look at the Reapers now and I am not sure everything is at it seemed in the beginning. This particular theme is the one which comprises the whole Mass Effect series simply perfectly. I am sorry for this long and, perhaps, weird comment, but, I have never played another game, read a book or watched a movie so intense and so good at messing with your soul and consciense. If some of you, Mass Effect players, feel this way, empty and sad, but, at the same time, happy and amazed of what you have acomplished during your experience, rest assured! You are not alone!
EDIT: One week later, I finished this fantastic trilogy and I am extremely grateful for this unparalleled experience, although very sad it had to end...
being able to play the full trilogy with all DLCs, including the Extended Cut and Citadel DLC is just... you are certainly very lucky. Enjoy it.
@@Matt-bg5wg, yes, it is amazing playing them this way. Thank you! Actually, after finishing my first playthrough, I only waited for a few days and started the second. I am already done with 1 and 2 and 10 hours into the 3rd. There aren't enough words to describe these games...
@@FirebonE_88 theres a whole lot of ways to play, options to take, people to romance... truly a masterpiece
@@Matt-bg5wg, agreed entirely. In my opinion, even the Star Wars universe isn't as vast and interesting. Not to mention involving.
EA/BioWare had more than just lightning in a bottle with this series. They had the potential to end this trilogy and make a franchise as beloved as Star Wars or Star Trek and possibly even as successful, too. And then they made Andromeda. :(
I've never loved the content of any kind of media experience the way I've loved the crew of the Normandy and their adventures together. Liara is my wife, Tali my little sister, and seeing Tali hookup with my bro Garrus was priceless. Wrex, Grunt, Javik, Jack & Miranda. I loved all those guys.
Reuniting with wrex in mass effect 2 with this playing, and seeing the joy in wrexs face was one of many of the great endearing moments in this series. Love these games
Edit: Wow, I think this is my most like comment. Thanks, my fellow commanders! My best friend and girlfriend hasn’t played this before, so I’m gonna make her play the remaster. I’ll probably cry more than her anyway X’D

As Shepard said, glad I hadn't to kill him on Virmire.
Even as a kid I could sit and just watch this with my mind wandering... About our lives, universes, how beautiful our planet is... Now years later when I recall those memories watching this, I have tears in my eyes - this theme still touches my heart, and I still admire this beauty here.. So nostalgic, can't express more how much I love it
This is exactly how I feel.
The game is amazing, no game could ever get close to to this, since everyone is greedy about money. If I made a game like this, id make it free, maybe a donation thing so i could make the next game better, still free, making the next game until it dies out, knowing I made a few people happy...
You were a ''kid'' playing ME1? It only mean 2 things. Bad parenting and I'm really old.
@Derek I spent almost a decade working on helicopters for the Guard and yet to this day I can just sit there and watch a bird do a cold start and take off and be: "You know what? That's still pretty cool to watch." Always been in love with aviation and I always will.
Those tones will forever be embedded into our souls. Every time I hear them I get full body goosebumps.
Happy N7 day everyone!
It's always a sign of a great game when you wish you could wipe your memory and experience it all again for the first time.
Thank you EA for ruining everything.

When I think about whole Mass Effect experience a one moment comes to my mind... It's from ME3 citadel dlc after your party:
-We had a good ride.
-The best.
Those two lines simply tells everything about mass effect. The best fucking ride you've ever had...
I saw a comment on another thread that said "'Vigil' is Mass Effect's rendition of 'Tears in Rain'", and I felt all of that.
'Tears in rain' is a Blade Runner reference. I think that Vigil is more powerful, given the context.
This theme is so haunting and otherworldly, it really sets you up for more than just another videogame, it sets you up for a story like no other, I love this so much.
It really is an invitation.
I didn't get into Mass Effect until 1-2 years ago, so I don't yet have the nostalgia that many associate with the first game. I wish I had been able to experience it when it first came out, but honestly it wouldn't have mattered if I had been introduced earlier. This series will forever have a place in my heart, and I will always find myself coming back to it - no matter what happens.
lol u guys should play from the start to the end and keeping ur save from 1 to 3 to know the feeling . u do it once u get addicted to play it again and again and againnn . just like the dragon age series
I'm glad I'm not the only one still replaying these. And I'm glad it was you guys. Had to be you. Someone else would've gotten it wrong ❤
I got it a year ago, already have nostalgia
I only got into Mass Effect two months ago. I consumed the whole trilogy in like three and a half weeks, now I've got all DLC and im replaying them to complete the games fully. Thing is... I feel like it's always been a part of me, I don't know why. When I hear this track, it makes me feel like I am thinking back fondly on an old love. I feel like I've played Mass Effect for years; I guess thats just a power of compelling music and an equally compelling story.
I cant tell why, even if i picked the series really late like you this song just give me chills bro
Other day i was trying to play the first game again and could not exit the menu, seeing those characters with the back ground song... Just couldn't
I just started my 4th play through of the Mass Effect Trilogy. So this is perfect.
Just began my 6th play through. Yes it took me 5 attempts at 1&2 to survive the suicide mission with all my crew. But I loved every minute.
Rookie numbers bois, get up to 35 at least. 40 play through of any one cmon ,)
@@ayareece2498 Nice! Started 24th playthrough. Got a 2TB Hard Drive for Christmas, so I'm going to record all story/DLC cut-scenes. I did that on my old computer and it was well over 400GBs.
I'm gonna start my 9th play through soon. I'm reading the Mass effect tie in books this time just to add a little background spice. This series is one of the only things that gives me peace nowadays. Reporting for my 9th tour in the Milky Way
I have nine Commander Shepards myself, switching back and forth between Male and Female. Kell, Cairah, Future Kell, Rayne, Jack, Johnny, Zahd, Trish, and Benezia. After playing through Andromeda for the 3rd time, I think I'll start a 10th Shepard.
The only thing this video is missing is the "duuuung" when you hit start. Such a masterpiece. Rest in peace thane, mordin, legion, ash or kaiden. You will be missed
I first started Mass Effect when I was deployed in 2009. There was something about coming in from from the oven hot, lifeless, brown, dusty landscape, into the tiny, trailer like container I shared with three other women, and turning on my tiny screen in the darkness and booting up the first Mass Effect game with it's atmospheric title theme music that just took me completely away from everything.
wow...that sounds awesome
Just realized this is the song Liara plays in the apartment on the piano in ME3's Citadel DLC...
WTF is the Citadel DLC? Never heard of it - mostly because BioWhore gets none of my money for that horrid piece of shit game. The real Shepard is alive with their crew, awaiting shore leave.
@@tonycmac a
I think that one's called "Liara's Theme." It's my second favourite next to Vigil.
I'm Commander Shepard and this is the best music on the citadel. Seriously though, this music brings memories and emotions back. A whole lot. Beautiful games.
Im in Australia. I remember having this game per-ordered and getting massively surprised when Australia happened to release this game 3 days earlier than everywhere else, meaning we got it on a Friday afternoon right before the weekend. I collected my pre order on the way home from work that Friday, booted the game up on my 360 and was hooked from the moment I was met with this epic title screen and amazing intro track. This game has stuck with me deeply for 12 years since. Having this track play again when you finally met Vigil later in the game on IIos was like the universe suddenly making sense.
Absolutely beautiful mate.🙂
Every time this theme came back in the later games during a touching moment, got me right in the feels. Not many games make me cry anymore... but Mass Effect always will.
“Marriage, old age, and a lot of little blue children?”
Char Aznable sometimes happy endings are just the easy way. Shepard’s ending fits as a tragic one, as he faced insurmountable odds. And hey, in the Destroy ending, he might still be alive!
Trust me, from one Mass Effect fan to another. You want to see this picture, especially if you romanced Liara T'Soni.

@@TheKlawwGang888 You might like doing an image search for "Huggy Bear Mass Effect" but you'll also probably want to make sure it's a safesearch as well as the artist does a lot of more explicit art in addition to the sweet wholesome images. There's a couple of pictures I really like such as Shepard and Liara's daughter meeting and then playing with one of Wrex's boys, and a wedding between Joker & EDI.
For me that would be little half-quarians, playing with each other outside our home on Rannoch, while Shepard and his friends from old days sit together in the garden, talking about the adventures of their past and how they showed the Reapers they were wrong, by working together. All alien races, bios and synthetics, overcoming predjudices and hate, reaching for the same goal. Not only did they save the galaxy that day. They were laying a foundation. A foundation that enabled their successors to closely work together to strife deeper into the universe. Travelling to other galaxies, noone has ever been before, and finding new adventures along the way...
One more week. Just one more week, and we'll see all our squadmates again.
Best meditation music ever.
I played mass effect trilogy during a bad time of my life, and now it becomes one of my best memories of all time.
Listening this makes me feel better. Thank you Bioware

As in the Citadel Upper Wards, part of my heart will always be here. I will always be both on the Citadel and on Ilos - and a thousand other worlds.
UA-cam recommendation algorith YOU'VE.... got it right this time
November, 7th, 2020
I'm 15 years old and discovered Mass Effect at the end of the first quarantine we had in France. I have a passion for space since I was very young, maybe because my father and my two brothers always made me watch sci-fi and play video games. I love that, I was raised with that. But I never thought I would live something similar to Mass Effect in a video game before Mass Effect. This trilogy was recommended to me many, many times but I never had the courage to ask my parents to offer me the entire trilogy with the DLCs and stuff. That was only when one of my favourite streamers began a full let's play of the trilogy during the quarantine that I told myself to watch it, finally I had the chance to discover it without waiting.
I loved it. Even if I didn't play the trilogy this time I loved it, I remember waiting every evening the next stream of the let's play with so much hype for the story, the characters, the dialogues, the whole scenes... then I told a friend (he was originally a friend of one of my brothers, who stopped playing video games to focus on his biology studies a few years ago) how much I loved the trilogy, and I was very lucky that he had more than once the whole trilogy, so he gave me Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 just like that, saying "there you have it, and welcome among the lovers of Mass Effect".
I played the trilogy. I loved the first, for a 2007 game, it was amazing. The second was wonderful, the characters insanely well-written, and I romanced Tali. Couldn't wait to play ME3, which is my favourite, that game was just greater than anything I played through my whole life.
I remember myself finishing my first playthrough of the trilogy. I, who love playing video games everyday, didn't touch my PC for 3 days after the end of ME3, and after 3 days, I decided to play the trilogy AGAIN !
After the second time, it was very hard but I wanted to focus again on working and other video games that don't take my whole brain for immersion. I kept hoping for the remastered version rumor I heard about during one of the streams I watched.
Almost 3 months ago, Bioware officially announced Legendary Edition and the next Mass Effect game. And here I am, I've got a plate of Tali in my room, a wallpaper of the Normandy on my PC, and I'm forcing myself to wait the Legendary Edition for playing Mass Effect again.
Mass Effect is my favourite video games trilogy ever. I discovered it when I couldn't see my friends, my country ordered quarantine when I was suffering a depression because of an important issue with a friend that expended on the others and that almost made me kill myself, and when I needed to take the time and discover new people, I played Mass Effect, and the level of interactions you can have with the characters in the game, their opinions about your actions, your choices, your responsabilities, made me think about my reactions in real life, what I did wrong, what the others did wrong. This trilogy cured me really, and that is why it will always have a place in my heart. If I have children someday, I'll have to make them play Mass Effect. It's not a game, it's an experience, it's the very proof that video games can be an art.
This trilogy is legendary.
I appreciate your story and glad you found the Mass Effect series, especially during hard times. I can't wait to play through it again when Legendary Edition arrives, I'm so freaking hyped.
Same! I'm also 15, I recently bought legendary edition and it's a masterpiece. Absolutely incredible series, right up there with the last of us and other incredible games
@@EliFarb I recently watched a let's play of The Last of Us and I've also been through the Halo series for the first time. I could tell about games I played when I was younger like Metroid, Starcraft or more recently Overwatch, or I could tell about games that are masterpieces for me like Dishonored (if you don't know it go watch a playthrough it's amazing), but nothing is like Mass Effect to me. I also played the Legendary Edition (twice, one time like the first time, and one time in max difficulty and with a vanguard femshep), also played Mass Effect Andromeda to make myself an opinion on it.
While Andromeda fells messed up, the trilogy is always insanely cool, the characters, the story, and the universe which is incredibly rich. As a sci-fi fan, I really, really appreciate the coherence of the ME universe.
I could tell so much more about how I love it, but it would take me too much time. xD
Anyway, glad you found it too, I know many people who discovered it with the Legendary Edition, and that's cool to see that I'm not the only one who found it awesome and discovered it recently.
Pareil. Je pense exactement pareil !
@@heomji7216 yeah there's a lot of people who had only heard of mass effect when EA announced legendary edition, I wonder how many other older games there are that I missed out on because they were never ported to the current generation of consoles. And last of us is really a special experience, that's something you should've played yourself. Also sorry for the late reply I only saw this now
Upon completing Mass Effect 1 for the first time when I was about 13, I had something of an epiphany. It was the first time I recognized games as something more than just entertainment, as art. I had never been wowed so much in my life. Thanks, BioWare. I'll always remember the good times, even as greedy imbeciles parade around your corpse.
I can think of just a very few games that to me qualify as art. Final Fantasy 6, the To The Moon trilogy (To The Moon, Finding Paradise, and the upcoming Imposter Factory), and the Mass Effect Trilogy. Everything else is just pop culture.
The first game that I played which made me realize that games can be actually meaningful was uncharted 4. Then I played tlou, god of war, and finally the mass effect series and now I can see how special these games really are
The somber nature of this music really stuck with me. It had feels and said this was a game of importance, not just some action game about aliens.
I can't be the only one who when they finally got mele sat at the me1 opening scene for at least 10 minutes
One of the greatest games of all time.
There was a dark time in my life when I felt like the only friends I had were on the deck of the Normandy. My life is in a better place now, but hearing this song still makes me feel at home. I will never forget what this game and the crew at BioWare have done for me.
When I got this game a few days ago, i was sucked in at every moment. (Except getting one shot by rockets. Then surviving one to the face somehow later--)
But the main menu music... I didn't want it to stop playing somehow. I'd never heard it before yet it felt familiar. it reminded me of the Old days when games were almost always amazing... Back when game companies weren't so... Corrupt. Better days. This is one of the best games I've ever played. I could write paragraphs as to why and i have only now gotten to the tau cluster. Mass Effect is *Truly* a game series done right. Thank you, BioWare.
Game made in quite modern and SIMPLE times BEFORE SMARTPHONES ERA. Very epic.
did you finish them all?
@@jorisjj3941 I have since posting that long beaten all three games. My only complaint is 3's ending, which is repaired entirely by the happy ending mod. Love these games.
Well, now I'm off to download ME1 again and do another playthrough. Thank you.
Jack Wall is an amazing composer
He definitely is one of the greatest. The emotions his music brings is just incredible and makes me cry...
We didn't play Mass Effect. We lived it. Our crew was our family. They still are.
RIP Mordin. You will never be forgotten.
Well for me... The genophage is still a thing and Mordin just took some vacations to study seashells =)
@@delevoyeguillaume9126 yep he's just running tests on the seashells and singing
When I listen to this, it reminds me of what Tali said, “All I see are the ones I lost”. This game has made me feel so many different emotions. I haven’t played another game that’s captivated me as much as mass effect. 😅
The conversation with Vigil remains the peak of my gaming experiences to this day. I was filled with wonder, learning the hopeful but ultimately tragic Prothean story. Learning how each glowing oval reaching to the distant roof contained a designated Prothean survivor. Learning how non essential pods had been slowly switched off, dozen by dozen, trying to fathom the sheer enormity of the task. From talking to the humble Vigil, the Reaper threat became that much more real, as did my awe and empathy for the Prothean race.
Hearing this play as the Krogan looked up to see the Genophage cure raining down on Tuchanka was just magical.
People in the comments saying they wish they could experience this trilogy for the first time again but I’m here 23 years old playing it for the first time ever and I’m saying.
“I wish I could’ve experienced this trilogy when I was a kid”
Amazing game.
Well, at least ME 1 and 2. I hated ME3. Mass Effect one is my favorite.
@@tonycmac yeah I love ME1 currently playing ME2 but I’m slowing down. I don’t think i will make it to ME3, and people say it’s the worst one out of all 3 so im not worried about 3
@@datboidego Trust me, ME3 is a dogfart. Just skip it, and let Shepard retire.
@@datboidego ME3 is not a dog fart. There are aspects you will absolutely hate, but I guarantee you'll come to prefer them over time. As someone who just never bothered with the Mass Effect franchise, until I played the entire trilogy with Legendary Edition, you HAVE to play them all. In my eyes, they're all perfect
Why is this actually so nostalgic I only started playing mass effect 1 year ago
That's the beauty of this trilogy
Opening ME1... So many memories :) Thanks for the upload!
I know that most of the stuff I say comes from another comment but I just want to go out and say because I agree with that comment... I LOVE Mass Effect! I am a huge fan of sci-fi video games with aliens like Halo, Killzone, Destiny, and Gears Of War, and while I love all those games with my heart, none of them come even close to the raw emotion and awesomeness when it came to Mass Effect! I was at first scared of playing it because of making choices that affect you in the long run, but I played Mass Effect 1-Andromeda, and was a full-fledged Paragon with a dash of Renegade. All I did was play Mass Effect, it was Wake up- Go to school-Come back-Do homework-Mass Effect-Eat dinner-Mass Effect-Sleep-Repeat. It was such in incredible journey, I saved my squad on the Suicide Mission, defeated Saren, Kai Leng, and The Illusive Man, romanced Tali, and destroyed the Reapers, so Shepard lives, and spends the rest of his life with Tali on Rannoch. I also decided to play Andromeda, chose to be Sara Ryder, romanced Jaal, and I liked it, despite it’s obvious flaws and being nowhere near as great as the first three, I still really loved it! While I was sad that I finally finished the Mass Effect trilogy, I’ll still always remember the wonderful time I had playing it. And I can still always go back to it, so YAY! I know a lot of people just want to erase their memories just to go through the Mass Effect trilogy again, but I don’t want to forget. To quote Dr. Suess himself, “Do not cry because it ended, smile because it happened.” Thank you BioWare for such an incredible trilogy!!!... not you though EA, go suck Krogan balls
Halo is better, why are you guys so stupid?
I hate all of you so much, be prepared cause when im 20 I'll go on my journey of eradicating life on Earth, and I won't fail.
all 4 of them....
The Mass Effect trilogy came out when I was 7 years old. I'm 21 now, and I got to play this game for the first time. I wish I could have experienced this masterpiece when it first came out. But for me, this game will always be something special. Everything about it, the storytelling, the crew, the soundtrack--there's absolutely nothing else like it. Doesn't matter if it's ten years into the future, not even twenty--we'll always find ourselves travelling back to this galaxy no matter what.
Im 28 and played ME1 in the same year it came out, on 360, its still the best gaming experience i had, it felt so ahead of its time back then.
Hell - I am 62 and am on my 15th+ full play-through on my PS4 (including my 360) - doubt I will ever grow old of this game and story.
I'm 18, played the game in 2009 I believe, my dad bought for me and I can happily that this alongside red dead redemption 1 are the best games I've ever played
The nostalgia is hitting me so hard. When I first played this game I quickly realized how much of a masterpiece it was. I don't think any single player game ever had the same effect on me. I absolutely played the hell out of it - and when it was done, I went back and replayed it. End of an era, nothing will come out of the industry like this ever again. Some works of art are singular.
Here after having purchased Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This masterpiece of a theme hasn't aged one bit.
This will be my home ambience for the weeks to come !!!!
it's incredible to scroll the comments and see an overwhelming positive vibe and consensus that this trilogy is incredible.
The nostalgia is real. I wish I could go back to 2007.
Yes it is coming back! Mass Effect: Legendary Edition!
@@gavinpowell4607 I know but remastered, I did not say it be a different game just said its coming back. Love the intro of ME 1
I just finished the trilogy yesterday. Hearing this again...it brings a tightness to my chest and a lump to my throat in a way no other piece from a game has. From starting with one these games were the only thing I'd play in my free time, I became one with the world, connecting to the people, the characters, and their struggles. I never got emotional in 1 and 2. I rarely do with any game at all. But this...when I touched down on Earth. When I had those final talks with Garrus, and Liara, and she gave me her gift, with this slowly, faintly, shortly playing in the background. I couldn't take it anymore. I cried like a fucking baby at my desk in the middle of the night. All of the emotion I'd felt over the trilogy flowing out in that moment because I knew it was all coming to an end. It was coming to an end and I didn't want it to. I wanted to keep going, I wanted to keep having hijinx with the crew, saving the galaxy. I wanted to see those little blue children. But at that point a part of me knew Shepherd wouldn't make it, and all of this would end. Then at the very end. After the Reapers were destroyed and everyone was safe, after the credits. I cried possibly the hardest I think I have in a long time during the Stargazer scene. But a part of me doesn't know why. I've seen more compelling films, more artistic works of art, and pieces of music. Yet. This. This series of three games broke me in the end. It's something I'll never forget. Something I'll always remember. Something I will always love.

Exactly my feelings when I was about to finish it and when I did. I didn´t want to leave MY ship behind. When I woke up the day after I finished, I wanted to go back to my crew on the normandy and go to some new system, experience more adventures. The thing that breaks me everytime I think about this game is that I will never live to see such adventures unfold, let alone be a part of it, save our galaxy, meet new species and become a legend among legends, a friend of the creatures of our known universe, travel through space, etc... At the same time this game made me feel like I did indeed experience all of this. It feels like I am a retired Shepard, I have travelled the stars, saved the universe and am now "damned" to live my day to day life, without being able to go out there again. If any alien council reads this, please take us in, we are ready for this galaxy.
I know that the actual title of this track is "Vigil," since it's the theme that plays when you talk to Vigil on Ilos, but for me...
This will always be the *real* Mass Effect Theme.
We got a new remaster coming boys!!
This music.. When you first play Mass Effect and you are waiting for a new adventure and after playing all those episodes to the third you hear this music and it give back so much nostalgia ahhh !!! This music fits perfectly the discover and the completude of the game !
Brings back tears! Damn I miss those times! Time flies fast!😢
The golden age of gaming is long since over. I am grateful to have experienced it. Though I do miss those times. I do look forward to future I will build myself.
My girlfriend just got me a galaxy projector and I immediately searched for this song, we are now enjoying the show with the perfect song of cosmic wonder. Thanks Mass Effect, Shepard out
I have regularly played the trilogy every year since I first played the trilogy back in 2013/2014, this song brings all of the best moments to mind, particularly squad member moments on the ship, whether I was romancing Tali, Garrus, Liara or Jack, Tali's singing during date night, Liara playing the piano, beach front property, seeing Liara again after two years on Illium, seeing Wrex again on Tuchanka, seeing Garrus on Omega, *this* menu screen back in funnily enough, May 24, 2013.
It has been quite a journey each time I play the trilogy, this song is my absolutely favorite over the entire series and I can't wait to hear it again when I play the Legendary Edition on May 14, 2021 next week.
Well said
RIP a legendary game trilogy
First time player, Just finished the trilogy. I feel so lost, I’m just sitting here listening to this while recounting the memories I made throughout the 3 games. What an adventure.
I had an ACL surgery in 2011. I bought some games to pass the time while I wasn't mobile. I randomly selected Mass Effect. I never had more fun playing a game, ever. It might have been the painkillers, too. But what a game.
I remember when I first started playing Mass Effect and was hit with this music ;') Made me realise that i found something special :> Mass Effect fans unite :))
First time I played this game I was shocked by the size and quality of it this will forever be my childhood
I've loved a lot of opening menu theme music but nothing and I mean NOTHING has such an effect on me as this does. Its peace and joy for my soul.
This music now holds a powerful memory for me
I was in a bad place in my life
My ex was divorcing me
I had my young daughter alot
My job was a stressful mess
But I waited and when I finally was able to play the ps4 edition of this after a long wait
I felt weightless even for a little bit
Some time later it's gotten better
But I'll never forget the feeling hearing this theme after so long
People always talk about ME2 being the best and while I'm inclined to agree, ME1 left a far bigger mark on me. Soaking this game up for the first time is one of my favorite video game experiences. I would kill for a remastered collection.
People don't often realize that ME2 very much stands on the shoulders of the world building established in the first game.
Greatest moment of my life
I still come back to this song to this day. When Im stressed and have trouble sleeping this song takes me back.
mass effect had such a unique feel. like it was the first of its kind, and the feeling of discovery through the simple exploration really hit home. The sequels did not have the same effect for me because they just felt played out. Such a great game.
The opening screen theme always gives me chills. The fact that the team reprised the theme on piano, near the end of the Citadel DLC in ME3 when Liara visits the apartment after the party, is genius. Best musical Easter Egg ever.
I caught that immediately! I was so delighted by that.
This, is just, amazing
I listen to this whenever I need to calm down, whenever I'm angry, or upset, I listen to this
I love Mass Effect, and even though the Suicide mission, and many other songs from the OST exist, this one always stuck
it's funny how insignificant the world is from outer space... how insignificant man is, who was a single cell at first
can i cry..? please? this song gives me cry vibes.
**Listens again**
*Sobbing*
I know this is 2 years on... but... can I join you...?
If I ever go to space I want to listen to the this song while I do a space walk.
The first Mass Effect had the perfect tone. There was just something about it... mysterious, dangerous, but exciting, inviting, inspiring, vast. While I think Mass Effect 2 is my favorite of the series overall, the feel of the first one is very special.
Nostalgia to playing long into night chatting away to friends online. Being younger and more carefree.
Hearing Vigil always makes me just let my mind drift and think about space... I love Mass Effect trilogy so much
After the teaser trailer today, welcome back mass effect
When I beat the trilogy for the first time last week.. I looked back at my Mass Effect 1 saves with this playing in the background and I had a happy cry... I wish I had these memories from before like so many others but I am very happy I could experience these games for the first time.
I will always remember you, Lucy Shepard, my Shepard... and I hope we get to fight together again one day...
I hold this theme up there with the main menue theme of Halo. Both just convey this sense that you are starting a journey into this MASSIVE universe. You don't know whats beyond the start button.....but you know its gonna be one hell of a ride. Lets hope that the new ME can live up to what it's predecessors had done.
You just beat the game, and after the credits, you come to the main menu. You press start once, and as this song continues to play, the faces of your companions slowly fade in and out of view. Some you left behind, some you loved, and some you hurt. You think to yourself, "I can make this right" and start again.
This makes me nostalgic for those times and also depressed that Mass Effect has crumbled into dust.
We should be on Mass Effect 7 by now. And no, I don't mean yearly soulless sequels. That universe was so rich and dense with detail, there was a whole universe waiting to be explored.
But all that... is dead and gone now.
Just be happy for the first two games.....they were great !
@@thescandinavian2487 To be fair ME3 was awesome, yeah, they screwed up the ending, but I can't forget the build-up.
LemonismQ honestly mass effect 2 carries the whole damn series
@@jesusmclain6713 not really, I find ME2 to be pretty weak storywise. Of course, the gameplay was better, if simplyfied. The characters were all great (well, except Jacob). But overall, the story was on a small scale and the companion missions (And by extension all side missions) were microcosms that only affected Romance and the Suicide Mission. And Shepard doesn't get to grow as a character because of the fact he/she spends 2 years in what is essentially a coma, while his/her every squadmate was given space to grow. I feel like they had a great opportunity to flesh Shepard out, but they didn't take it. Don't get me wrong, I love ME2 just as much as ME1, but I can't ignore these issues. I think people give ME2 too much credit and seem to overlook the accomplishments of the first.
Filip Gryga ehh, but is it just me or is it a common thing to think of mass effect as a whole? Like the story is so fluid I don’t even think of it like Mass effect 1,2 or 3 I just think mass effect because the visuals and everything is so similar in every game. Take halo for instance when you think of halo you either think of 1,2 or 3 because of how different each game is but mass effect just seems to mesh together for me in terms of story, visuals and sound. Do you also feel this way?
Now that I have the legendary edition in 2021, nothing will ever come close to the first time you set out on exploration voyages to survey new celestial bodies. The mystery, the excitement, the unknown, awaiting us. As a pre-teen in 2007, this game had a profound impact of me and my taste in games. This game, including mass effect 2, are master pieces.
GOD! When I listen to this this tune I have such a feeling of bliss... Then I wish I'd never played this series so that I could encounter it for the first time again and again... I love these series (yes, even Andromeda!).
I discovered this game completely by chance in 2008, and I was immediately captivated by this music. I was not yet aware of the slap I was going to take.
I remember getting this game by accident on GameFly because I wanted to fill my queue. I was unaware to what I was going to embark. I still remember loading the disc for the first time and being greeted with such angelic sounds. 2007
