The music of this game was such a masterpiece. They really get you to feel the pace and urgency of every mission, while also keeping it in the back of your head that it's just a small checkpoint in a long marathon that leads to fighting the reapers. Everything you do up to the end game is light weight, even though it's all life and death ground combat.
There's nothing better, but the moment with this theme playing in the background, while you're gunning down Cerberus left and right, backed up by your squad to save a krogan female with the solution to genophage. That heroic moment.
I was surprised at Cerberus' combat potency during this misson. They had successfully raided a base of one of the most powerful council races, and the Salarians stationed there weren't just grunts, they were highly trained STG soldiers.
I suspect that was a traitors in salarian government or military. I doubt that cerberus troops can invade into salarian space without some help from the inside. Also someone plant the bomb on the base, before cerberus arrived. Some of the salarians doesn't want krogan to be cured, so as the cerberus. And they may decide sabotage their own base for the greater good.
Which is one of the main gripes I had with this game. Cerberus went from a stateless shadow organization to a galactic power in six months. It was nothing short of contrived.
This brings back so many memories! Me, Garrus and Liara fighting Cerberus on the ground while Wrex is flying around kicking ass. The old team back together again
Nothing better than this playing in the background at full blast, bullets whizzing past you, Wrex screaming at you, Cerberus troops closing in and that satisfying sound of a new thermal clip in your gun
The music and the wall paper makes this so perfect... The end of it all, the final fight expanding throughout an entire galaxy against an enormous and mighty foe, this is it...
Couldn't agree more. The whole Genophage quest is not only one of the more compelling storylines in this series, but also the most replayable mission in ME3.
@@gainz4dayz576 Witcher 3 comes to mind. I prefer the Deus Ex games. I'm really big fan of the Splinter Cell games when it comes to sci fi, I think it's because I'm big fan of conspiracy theories and the cyberpunk setting in general. That said I enjoy the Mass Effect games but not enough to replay them more than twice (Renegade and Paragon).
I got that feeling more from watching Palaven and Thessia fall to the reapers, this music reminded more of the plight of the krogans, like Wrex said "Best and Last hope for my people"
Thats... That is the drums from the last minutes before making your final choice at the end. Foreshadowing? Perhaps. Would have been glorious if they had done this all the way through the game!
@@Omega4Productions It's common knowledge that ME3 production was rushed, the last mission makes it pretty obvious. Notice that apart from the "emotional scenes" ending doesn't really have its own soundtrack, London battle uses mostly reuses music from previous scenes. I guess they needed something dramatic for the final choice scene and just separated these drums here from the rest of the track.
Great clip from a great game from great music. The highs/lows are a bit subtle though - don't know if this is a full 256kbps+ or not, but still a great compilation. Thanks for uploading! :D
The entire game really immerses you into a galaxy that is facing extermination. However, I feel that once you are done with the meeting on the Normandy, and you go to Sur'kesh, you REALLY begin to realize that this is it, this is the end. It's like everyone only decides to do what's right when they have no other option. Also, like in the real world, most people never band together unless they face impossible odds. I'm very happy that Bioware decided to make this believable in that aspect.
Oddly enough, your username has corona in it and your comment from 9 years ago depicts pretty much how people have handled the coronavirus pandemic...only doing what's right when they have no other option.
It's too bad it took a reaper invasion to force a cure for the genophage and a peace between the Geth and the Quarians. It was probably the most memorable moments of the game. Thessia cruely reminds you of the realities of the Reaper war, which is the magic of Bioware. I don't give two fucks about what people say about the ending. It's the best series of this decade
This game had so much continual momentum, with how the levels were created. Had it been a bing, sprawling open-world, it may have slowed down the pace, which wouldn't have been right for the conclusion.
This music on the Salarian level in the demo 2 months ago is the OOOOOONLYYYYYY reason I bought the final release. I also love the MP but it was not worth it as much until I heard and said "wow!".
I think the Illusive Man not only brought Shepard back from the dead so Commander could bring him a Collector Base, but also to accupy Reapers when they would finally come, while leaving Cerberus undisturbed towards their final goal - a way of controlling the Reapers. However TIM knows Shepard must be kept on line in case Commander had too many victories - and krogan-turian alliance would be a huge disadvantage towards Reapers, whom he never wished destroyed.
Thanks Ricky I don't know if you made this extended cut or not, but I hated Sur'Kesh because of the short Trumpet section. And if you didn't create it, thanks for posting it
Variety, probably. Also to make Cerberus seem much more potent, given that they mount a pretty successful raid on the homeworld of a well equipped council race.
They attacked the citadel and Sur'kesh but they were not successful either time. They were successful in taking Omega though........ until Shepard showed up
When it will be the 10 or 20 hours version? I must pass my six subjects this September to be an Industrial Engineer and start to work in my Normandy!!!
Iunno.The sounds remind me of LoTSB some as well.Not the same tracks,but I can see where they are coming from when they say it sounds similar to LoTSB tracks.
Stupid people usually rage out at what they don't understand, especially when they don't get what they want from it/them. I'm used to it, they all come around sooner or later. Not concerned either way, because at the end of the day, I'm still right. It is what it is whether you understand that or not.

Liara: "There goes another shadow broker." Garrus: "yeah, and I could swear he was yelling T'Soni." Liara: "Not funny!"
Haha, that was a hilarious moment.
I literally only recruit Garrus and Liara for that mission just to hear that joke.😂
Replace Liara with Shepard at the beginning pls

Still listening to this six years later... One of the greatest video game soundtracks ever.

Plus they looked badass doing it. Those Infantry armors i always wanted to get them.

Alexey Burenkov Agreed.
Can we get Mass effect Cerberus I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Dude fuck yes! I'm playing the legendary edition and I've for the majority of my playtime I've had Garrus and Liara at my side it just feels right
Shepard: "Careful, there goes the next Shadow Broker."
Garrus: "Could've sworn he was involved T'soni the whole time."
Liara: "Not funny."

The drums! Listen to the drums! The same ones as when you are deciding the fate of the galaxy at the end!
I love this story!
The music and the wall paper makes this so perfect... The end of it all, the final fight expanding throughout an entire galaxy against an enormous and mighty foe, this is it...
Let's see them try to stop a Krogan airdrop.
You are the future of the Krogan race, I'm fighting for that.

best epic story overall,amazing soundtrack,you could actually relate to your companions...i honestly didn't wanted to end...
Garrus and Thane looking badass as ever :)
They always do.
MissMidnightRaven indeed!~
Miranda has a nice ass too don’t forget that
Thank you for uploading this!! I was looking for an extended one, not that 30 second bit on the soundtrack.
This makes the hair on every inch of my body stand up. Shepard's story is probably the best sci fi epic ever written in human history
true that, heart lifting
In human history? Lol no
@@currangill430 name something that’s better, I’d have to agree with Katalmach it truly is the best and most wild sci-fi story written.

@@currangill430 notice how he said sci fi,not fantasy,and splinter cell is not a sci fi
This is legendary... Amazing soundtrack and the best convergence of synths and orchestra I have ever heard.
Great track! Always remember I played the Salarian homeworld first on the Mass Effect 3 demo! Almost a year ago too...
Both best and epic, hands down.
Highly recommend listening to this when you guys are playing the Virmire mission in ME1, it's awesome!!
Every time I listen to this epic musical piece I always hear Shepard in his commanding voice yell, "Light Em Up!"
Still one of the best soundtracks in gaming
One of my top favorite levels.
Best track in all of Mass Effect series...
"LIGHT EM UP!!" - broshep
The line delivery always gives me goosebumps.
@@Thumper2506 and people say his voice is bad

Thats... That is the drums from the last minutes before making your final choice at the end.

@@jackiemortes I’m aware the music is recycled. I’m saying that I don’t believe it was intentional foreshadowing.
Working out has never been so epic the fate of the universe hangs on this last set let’s gooooo
And then there’s the “don’t touch that” loop that’s hilarious
Great clip from a great game from great music. The highs/lows are a bit subtle though - don't know if this is a full 256kbps+ or not, but still a great compilation.
Thanks for uploading! :D
My left ear enjoyed this.
Walking With Christ Are you Van Gogh or something?
Firebase Jade + This soundtrack= Good Times!
first Arrival music, now this, thanks again!
I do exactly the same! I even pause the action just to feast my ears on this great piece :)
Good sound. Great music can be made if you're not too full of yourself

I always crank up the surround sound and purposely take my time killing Cerberus goons when this track begins.
And we got the Collector Base, Commander almost forgot me in those nasty coffin things though.

Well, apparently 8 years hasn't been long enough. Keep at it though, I have faith in you.
Feels like your trying to escape when the building is about to explode.
Am I the only one left speachless by both the soundtrack AND the wallpaper?
Anyone else get shivers down your back from 0:28?

Thane, Grunt, Miranda, Garrus, Shepard.
There goes the next Shadow Broker

Aw, thanks, cause you are so much better. :) The songs still sounds similar though,
This track was not in LOTSB, but it does sound quite like a few of the tracks that were. Different songs, but similar sound.
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE
The adas anti-synthetic rifle with armor piercing or incendiary ammo deletes everything
@Jackoooist good point of view, suspenseful song indeed
This and Rannoch track.... 🔥🔥
Variety, probably. Also to make Cerberus seem much more potent, given that they mount a pretty successful raid on the homeworld of a well equipped council race.
It would be perfect theme for challenges.
Thats fucking epic my favourite track from the mass effect 3 i think it play also in collectors edition
1 cerberus soldier pressed dislike before he bleeded to death from Eve's/Bakara's shotgun.
I love this theme!1 I wish this was the Normandys theme.
Making a sandwich....
*starts music*
My analogy is 100% perfect and accurate. You might want to look up the definition of analogy there, boss. Thanks for trying tho.
Way to show him who's the boss Mike! Go and get that twithead!
I just noticed the drums and sort of whoosh sound is the same that plays in the song crucible when you are walking towards making the final decision.
I unfortunatly see 1 dislike now
Harbinger: "WE HAVE RETURNED"
:0
How did I not realize that?
eating salarians *angry eye contact from salarian guardian*
Awesome.
Yo need to acclimatize to this game, but once you done it, it's not absolutely bad - apart from the end.
Just checking in, making sure you’re acclimatizing.
Part of it is on firebase white during the extraction
Zero dislikes good. No Cerberus Forces detected.
yes it was there. But it was a little different.
I fucking loved the atmosphere and music this game. The former was ruined by 5 minutes :(

They attacked the citadel and Sur'kesh but they were not successful either time. They were successful in taking Omega though........ until Shepard showed up
this was in Lotsb too
Did you do this for the Lair of the Shadow Broker soundtrack?
Thumbs up for those who found parts of the Catalyst music in this looped track! =D
Well, yea it does.
yeah only one thing is clear: IT is fucking AWESOME XD
When it will be the 10 or 20 hours version? I must pass my six subjects this September to be an Industrial Engineer and start to work in my Normandy!!!
really,also for the sur'kesh map on the rebellion DLC!
exactly :D
Not only that, but it's an STG base. It's not like attacking the downtown metro station; the STG are supposed to be the best-of-the-Salarian-best.
Iunno.The sounds remind me of LoTSB some as well.Not the same tracks,but I can see where they are coming from when they say it sounds similar to LoTSB tracks.
I get that a lot. No big. World keeps on spinning.
Are the background drums the same ones from when you make the decision at the end?
This should be theme song of Mass Effect : Vakrian Chronicles that Game would be Awsome.
In peace time? No chance.
Or he could be those kids who think they know everything.
My "musically uneducated ears" have been playing piano and cello for a good 8 years, mate. The song sounds similar.
haha, that is understandable :D
Lol Okay, what ever helps you sleep at night. :)
Damn! They hit the salarian!! , 1 dislike = the cerberus troop =>
