Very true,very true. I was very surprised when i saw this for the first time. I tuought it will be just like ME2,but in fact looked and felt better. I dont get in my flame suit and plan nuclear strikes when something doesnt go my way (the ending),maybe because im an adult or maybe it's how I think or something ...but I thought ME3 was better in many ways than ME2 ever was. I liked ME2,it took me 91 hours to complete it (took my time with sidequests and loyalty missions,scanning planets and upgrading stuff),but ME3 just felt better...the story was more engaging,I don't know.

DoubleRu Thats right, by the third game Harbinger had developed an interest in Sheppard because he managed to destroy both Sovereign and the Collectors, which in turn attracted attention to humanity itself, it's because of this i think the ending of the game should have revolved around interacting with Harbinger instead of Starchild, after playing the 2nd game it really feels like Harbinger is going to be the main bad guy but he is barely in the third game.

+God I think you misinterpret the Harbinger's role. It's not like it was the leader of the Reapers - AFAIU, being completely self-sufficient, they don't have a leader as such. I think the only thing that made Harbinger special was that it was Sovereign's backup for monitoring the organics and awakening the other Reapers once the time came. Well, and it was one of the biggest and baddest Reapers in terms of combat capabilities. Still, why I cannot see it as the "Big Bad" of ME3, I do agree that it could have certainly had a bigger role or at least a speaking one. :)

I just realized the debris falling from space is what’s left of the Alliance fleet that tried to hold off the incoming Reapers...absolutely chilling.

The wreckage in space was what was left of the Second Fleet. The reason nobody heard anything from Admiral Hackett right up to when the Reapers make planet fall is because as soon as the Reapers invaded Sol Space, they sliced through the Second, Third and Fifth Fleets like a hot knife through butter and overwhelmed Sols defenses. In order to save both the Third and Fifth Fleet, Admiral Hackett was forced to sacrifice the Second Fleet in order for the other two to escape and go into hiding and regroup with the other fleets.

This trilogy make you love these characters, Garrus, Joker, Liara, Wrex, Thane, Legion, Mordin, even Miranda the Cerberus cheerleader bosh'tet, they aren't just pixels. Like I really fell in love with Tali when Ii played ME for the first time. One of the most beautiful points with romances in Mass Effect is that they aren't just fan service sex scenes or whatever, it really feels like Shepard (in other words, you) has someone to love, someone to tell everything, about his trauma, about the war, about what he regrets... That trilogy is the best I ever played.

Personally I think 3 is just as good as 2, if not better. I found it strange that the game solely based on a suicide mission is the ONLY one of the trilogy where you can save everyone... Anyways, the endings could have been more fleshed out and varied. I'd have liked the star kid to fight you if you chose anything other than synthesis, since that is the only one they would have agreed with. But I think the endings were just fine with the extended cut. Maybe not up to the legendary standard of the rest of the series, but there were as good or better than most games. 3 was not playing around at all. You knew from that very scene that Shepard would have to give his/her life to even have the smallest chance. Amazing game. This was it! The only thing I find really wrong with three is that it is the end, you feel kind of empty when its all over and say goodbye to everyone. That shows just how good it was!

Best Game i ever played in my life! Period.

honestly, being a huge mass effect fan, going through all the cool amazing sic-fi moments in the first game and all the empire strikes back moments in the second i can honestly say this is a contender for the best mass effect scene of all time. And i think it owes 80% of it to one of the most amazing tracks in gaming. Being a piano player this is the biggest joy to play.

Untill you realize, this game wasent set in the future but the past and these stories we hear about "A Shepard" leading the masses.......

This is the most memorable scene in a videogame i've ever experienced. It gives me chills everytime i see it. By far the best cinematic of every game there is. Really touched me...

2:20 something about the Marine hitting the shuttle felt so emotional as the music progressed. It made me feel proud to be human, and it was a little foreshadow to all the Marines and navy men who stayed to hold back the reaper onslaught so human kind can have a chance at escaping. Such as the second fleet staying back to give enough time for the third and fifth fleet to evacuate. In war, Death is the biggest unification of all. Rest in peace to the victorious dead.

Say what you want about the ending(s), but I think this game is just as great as the other Mass Effects

Most games would start with “heres a huge threat, you’re the only chance of stopping it, go be a bad ass” This starts with “you know the threat. You’re fucked”

While TLOU tells you that there are a lot of dead people because of a fucking mushroom, Mass Effect tell you that's it, and it only begins, in a war there are a lot of deaths, and prepare yourself to many emotional scenes of sacrifice, of feeling guilty if you make the wrong choices (choose the Geth over the Quarians and then cry, you will cry, and a lot), epic scenes, but unfortunately there is a price to save the galaxy. That's why they are two insane openings in video games history, but they are different, insane in their own way. On one hand, you've got a desperate father in an almost entirely destroyed world, on the other hand, you've got a desperate soldier, in a galaxy which is going to be devastated, and you start to see it with our own planet.

the soundtrack man.. still gave me chills ._.

Emotional...... Even from the start.... Thank you mass effect for being you!!!!!

Ah yes, Reapers. The immortal race of sentient starships allegedly waiting in dark space. We have dismissed that claim.

rly? clint mansell? i literally cried at this scene. and i know he did soundtrack from movie: moon, awesome. really awesome

Man every time I watch this I think that the boy might just make it. Heartbreak every time! What a way to let you know that this is it, this is the end. Sets the tone for the whole game.

That furious look Shepard gives as he walks back into the Normandy after the reaper kills the shuttles got me so pumped. Like "I'm coming back one day and when I do, you're all fucked"

The moment Shepard got PTSD. >the death and destruction before the series >Eden Prime >all the ensuing chaos of the first game >has to choose to sacrifice one of two of his squadmates >the edge of death at the hands of the Collectors >forced to appease to Garrus conscience to prevent or allow an assassination >either witness or prevent Miranda from murdering someone who betrayed her >remain constantly infuriated over the infighting of the Quarians >fight with the choice to gamble on the Geth or damn them to extinction >witness a cult like massacre and decide whether the culprit is better off dead or in custody >sacrifice innocent lives or save them over a man's vengeance at an oil refinery >assist a man trying to prevent his own son from walking his path >help a Salarian decide if the Krogan are redeemable Mass Effect 3 This Then Shepard has night terrors the rest of the game

After this scene, watch ing how easily the reapers took earth and we're unstoppable, this scene inspired something that no other game has ever done for me. Hopelessness. After ME1 and 2 I was pumped to stop the reapers. Then this scene. Afterwards I put down my 360 controller, leaned forward a d turned it off. When my roommate asked why I looked him dead in the eye and said. "Did you see that? We can't win" Honestly, I was content with the end. Not happy, but content. For a game series like mass effect, there can be no happy ending. Not for the player. All we can do is see what our actions have lead to and be satisfied that the story - our story, came to an end.

I feel like they built an enemy they couldn't in good practice stop, not in the way of an action game, not john mcclane style. So it was bound to stumble at the finish line. But there were some parts of the narrative overall that just hacked me off. The idea of being branded a terrorist because you got cyber-jesus'd by sketchy people always pissed me the hell off. I'd never have accepted that, and neither would my Shepard, And that fight with the space ninja at the goddess temple? Talk about auto-win bullshit. but aside from all of that, Good game, incredibly solid mechanics, and the multiplayer is still addicting today and the game is 2 1/2 years old.

It's a pretty amazing trilogy.

The part that really hit me was when you see that the fireballs shooting from the sky aren't some reaper weapon, it's the obliterated human fleet falling from the sky.

right in the feels...

Can we take a moment to recognize ME3 has maybe the most epic plot in gaming industry? Leaving Earth while humanity is fighting hopelessly, in order to unite alien species under a same banner, bringing up the biggest army of the known universe to defeat a common enemy. Simply epic.

The reveal of the decimated human fleet...so artfully done. So stunning.

Looks like something out of a high budget movie...

Man, I just love this game series. The emotions these games create are just unmatched.

One of the videos that don't need KZread recommendations. You just come here from time to time.

One of the best scenes/ music in gaming history

I love Shepard express 2:37 : sadness 2:42 : vengeance / destroy them all

I am just replaying the trilogy. This opening still gets me everytime, what an amazing journey it is

2024 and this scene still makes me tear up...this game is forever

Still amazing to this day. Man. 😭

Mass Effect is the most well written media ever! This was such a powerful scene.

This is it the living proof, how can make an impressive, dramatic introduction and after the game title. (ME2 too) Still crying on this scene, music, still the best game. Love you all ME fans.

J'ai bientôt 27 ans et la trilogie Shepard est la seule série de jeux qui me fout encore des frissons quand j'y repense, je l'ai finie trois fois et je crois que je recommencerai encore.

The best scenes in any visual storytelling medium is when the director or writer can convey an emotion so powerfully without saying a single word. The swelling of the music as Shepard sees the Reapers absolutely annihilating the few survivors trying to escape the slaughter, the grief hardening to resolve on his face as he turns his back on those people who so desperately need his help, and the determined climax of the song as the Normandy leaves to find hope for a war-torn galaxy. Seeing this for the first time left me absolutely speechless. Whether or not you liked the ending, nobody can deny the huge emotional impact that this one moment had on the series as a whole.

One of the greatest intro scene in the videogame industry, up to me...

This scene still hits me hard

Im crying now...

The thing that gets me most about this opening is that there was an entire armada of ships protecting earth. And when you leave the only thing that remains is burning shrapnel littering the sky....

Can’t wait to see this scene remastered!!

If there ever is a movie or a show, I want this scene to be extended, civilians getting turned into dust or reapers in the streets, soldiers retreating and dying, buildings getting demolished, militaries firing nukes but having zero effect to the reapers, places like London, New York and Hong Kong on fire. The numbers of reapers darkening the sky.

I remember 10 year old me playing this introduction in the demo on xbox and getting heartbroken at this cutscene

chilling and so well done.. it hits any fan of the series right in the heart hard

When I played this the first time I had a Douglas MacArthur moment as the Normandy flew away from Earth and past the remains of the defending fleet and simply said, "I shall return".

1:38 one of the most emotional scenes in gaming

Yeah. That feeling that people are dying, cities are being destroyed, and there's nothing you can do to help

This scene still brings me to tears...

I've played ME1 and 2 and i found it good but they werent my favorite games. So i got ME3 when it came out and after this scene i really knew they made something special with this game. What a powerful opening.

I cried at that scene. And yes I am full grown adult.

Always gets me...

That pause at 1:32, i thought he was going to turn around and say "We'll bang ok?" 😅🤣

Seeing the earth fleet burning as it enters orbit as the Normandy leaves to get help! Emotional damage!

I dont know what it is but everytime i see this i just have to cry a little, maybe its the way the kids face is or the music, or just everything going on, or maybe its all of them together......... God i hate this scene.

At 3:27 The ship burning down on the left seems to have EA scratched on it, somebody being funny on the dev team? :D

the best track in the whole game, and that’s saying something, since the whole soundtrack is incredible

2019 and I keep on coming to see this secene. That is what a masterpiece produces
