The Collectors were terrifying. They were almost like a Reaper themselves: a hive mind enslaved to Harbinger’s will. A single Reaper split into a legion

on my latest playthrough I thought that the Collectors felt too little present in the story, with ME1 you sort of always remember that the Geth are the threat at hand, but Collectors are simply absent from the world of the game outside of very few encounters

My head cannon is that they were the most deadliest enemies Shepard ever faced and the suicide mission was his hardest fight since the skylian blitz

Oh, that is so right if someone has a better reference of what is similar to, I have yet to hear it and I have picked this series apart thoroughly in the 360 days.

I was only 13y old when I played Mass Effect 2. Back then I hadn't played any shooters at all so every fight in ME2 for me was actually hard. But Collector missions caused me so much more stress. I had to keep totally focused just to survive Veteran difficulty against them. When I played with Legendary Edition I expected to live out my nightmares once again. But after 10y of playing shooters, they aren't that hard to deal with after all. Still, this soundtrack takes me back and still gets me pumping. Sometimes I even play this while studying/working to get me focused.

But think of all the technology Cerberus could use to forward mankind

I wish the Collectors were more explored in ME2, for example they infiltrated Blue Suns, Eclipse and Blood Pack by making a deal: "You give us humans from raids, colonies etc and in exchange we give you extra cool weapons and upgrades to your combat, biotic and tech abilities,", saving the fact that those gifts were making mercs more suspectible to their benefactors and finally making them indoctrinated, especially their leaders. For example: - 3 merc groups hate each other, right? But it would be Collectors who would play on their egos to make them join forces to take down an Archangel (whom the Collectors knew who he really was) and later convinve them to continue this alliance to overthrow Aria and rule Omega. Once in total and tyrannical control of the station, they would give all human citizens to their "friends" all they wanted, completely unaware of the fact that at the same time a renegade band of Blood Pack Vorcha worked with the Collectors to kill every single non-human on Omega (except themselves of course) to become also total masters of the station and hand over human survivors to their "friends". It would make the Collectors more than just infamous Shepard killers and human kidnappers, but also evil masterminds, who in truth unofficially controlled whole Terminus System, with Omega being one of the last places where they are not in power and for that they would want Aria dead, maybe even more than Shepard, whom they just want take captive if possible.

Yeah I get that, but then the story wouldn't have as much meaning if it was just some random technologically advanced genocidal aliens. Not to mention that a lot of the story beats in ME2 just wouldn't make sense if the Reapers are completely taken out of the equation. The revelation of the fate of the Protheans, the foreboding thought of the potential future of humanity, the motives behind the human colony abductions, the consequences if the Collectors plans are successful, and the reveal of the big bad at the end of the game...all of these beats in the story bank on the Reapers being the overarching villains, and the story is excellent because of this. I think what would have made the story better is if the knowledge of the Collectors serving the Reapers wasn't immediately blurted out as a possibility to us at the beginning of the game. They could have had the Collectors seem like their own villains at first, but then have little hints and clues throughout the game that point to a connection to the Reapers until the full reveal at the half way point, which would then increase the severity of the Collector threat and up the stakes for stopping the Collectors once and for all.

When you understand that some synth can scare the hell out of you. I have shivers just by listening to that 10:28 part.

Back when I was first playing this, life hit different. Everything was new and original.

Suddenly I'm getting PTSD flashbacks of the Collector Ship mission on insanity difficulty.

0:20 - You 1:57- The guy she tells you not to worry about

Shepard: "Time to show our new teeth, fire the main gun!" Joker: *proceeds to fire the Thanix Canon and blows up the Collector ship* Joker: "How do you like you sons-of-b***hes" Shepard: "Get in close and finish them off." Alternatively without the Thanix Canon Joker: *dodging the Collector Ship beam* "Come on you miserable sons-of-b***hes!" Joker: *proceeds to shoot the whimpy gun and gets Thane killed*

Just downloaded Mass Effect Legendary Edition can’t wait too play them again. This is my childhood game one of the best space games I can play 👌😃🔥

"Assuming direct control"

10:30 - 11:50 creepy atmosphere leading into the platform fight 8:05 - 8:55 was probably the most intense dread I've experience in a game. It game off an immediate you're in over your head here (even more then the reapers in ME3). I was like where's the exit, and you're looking down this infinitely huge interior of the collector ship that's only made worse by tons of tiny claustrophobic platforms filled with enemies doing the husk moan or harbinger >.>

Reminds me of so much stress caused by those damn scions.

Imagine the horror when the absolutely relentless Force coming for you to illiminate all what you’ve created for centuries. Imagine the despair when you see how your fellow comrades dies around you and there is nothing what can stop this Force. Even death itself can’t stop It. Poor Collectors - there was no any slightest chance for them to not extinct when Shepard decided to visit them. That’s the true horror in Mass Effect universe and the only Rule: don’t mess with Shepard!

Me trying to relax: 🙂 My brain bringing up embarrassing memories from years prior: 0:22

It sounds so much like Reavers theme from Firefly, and I'm not even mad, they just took it and made more of the same.

This is true power

Just noticed how similar this is to Mars, Bringer of War by Gustav Holst

I love how their theme combines some synthetic tunes reminiscent of Area 51 alien ambuction stories with drums that make the Collectors feel like some ancient barbarians who participated in the fall of Rome

Was watching Star Trek: TNG on Netflix recently and realized the music for Armus in "Skin of Evil" (S1: E22) is very similar to this theme. First thing I thought when I heard it is, "Is that the Collector theme?" Definitely seems to be some influence there.

Only thing missing is the Horizon spaceport battle theme i.e. when you face the waves of Collector forces before the Praetorian.

The most horrfiying things is that the Collectors are showing in a instant and they don't bother with firefights. They don't give any warnings, no battle, no fighting, they just zap you in a instant, leaving you at their mercy. They're like the Reapers, just more obscure and creepy as fuck.
