28 - Mass Effect 2: The Arrival Suite [full version]

[@mikaaoife6557]

This DLC was very intense and I loved every moment of it.

[@KFro9k]

9:31 gets me hyped! You feel pressed for time as the asteroid hurdles ever closer to the alpha relay!

[@PiesCanFly]

13:32 Awesome atmospheric music.

[@rodrigobasualto8057]

nooooooo the best part 17:33 18:40

[@LabradorIndependent]

@@rodrigobasualto8057 The 17:33 segment is epic for sure, but the 13:32 is beautiful atmospheric music. For a piece that only lasts 30 seconds, it sticks in my mind to this day.

[@TDurdenArt]

My favourite part!

[@yourbestfriend2564]

@@TDurdenArt same, loved how creepy it felt

[@mrAZcardinal]

I agree. I don't know how to explain the song other than it being cute. In a sciencey way

[@MrViper7121]

14:00 mark where you fighting through enemies to get to Dr Kenson. This part I will never forget, so EPIC!!!!

[@marstondu67]

Damn, the 17:35 - 18:25 part gives me chills everytime !

[@supervegito2277]

There is a copy of just that on youtube. Search for Beginning of the end mass effect arrival.

[@marstondu67]

Thanks, that was exactly what I wanted !

[@aeronblack9249]

I won’t lie to you, the batarians will want blood

[@Nightsparrow626]

This is like Blade Runner had a baby with Tron. So damn good.

[@ScOtty_46]

It is very fitting description, it stucked with me :D Awesome music!

[@etojeilya]

"- Do not resist. Give yourself over and be spared" "- Your galaxy is in sight. Your final days are at hand." "- The end of your species will come." "- Struggle, if you wish. Your mind will be mine." "- You shall be the first to witness our arrival."

[@crazykickasskate1988]

I always loved how there was a gap between “our” and “arrival”. Made it so much more sinister!

[@TheMainCore1]

Yeah, it's an awesome little motif. Really fucking cool that they threw that in. And the rest of this suite is simply superb. It captures all the urgency and foreboding nature of the DLC.

[@daartz1]

Just replayed it agin on legendary edition i can say one of the best missions in all Mass Effect triology :)

[@DerOmeganator]

I like how this track seems to reference Bring Down the Sky at some parts.

[@AlexiosLair]

The most underrated DLC.

[@JediNg135]

11:32 - 11:52 my favourite

[@EpicTagger17]

You can really hear the influence of Mass Effect 3 here and there in this soundtrack. The Beginning of the End indeed.....

[@steventan2754]

I had to remind myself several times that this is me2 I'm playing in. The level design, the music, OH THE MUSIC is just...sexy, for a lack of a better word :D

[@Inblader]

"The Beginning of the end", except for the soundtrack, ME3 is a masterpiece in this.

[@watchinginaz]

This DLC has grown on me over time

[@Squee36]

After thinking about it for a long time, I think its one of the best moments in the series.

[@Vifvd]

Agreed

[@Benassiesto]

This and LotSB two of the best for story of the DLCs. Leviathan is important for lore, but as far as storytelling goes I think those ME2 ones are superior.

[@kaasbarie]

+watchinginaz First time I played this dlc I was like "wow, this shit is escalating quickly" xD it really had to grow on me too. Still, the blast from the mass relay should have been enough to wipe out the Reaper fleet entering the system too. But it didn't. Lovely plothole

[@pgsells]

+kaasbarie I was wondering about that, too. Possibly they were coming in at FTL speed and would still have been some distance away? I suppose it would depend on how close you cut it, and whether the countdown timer is really to-the-second accurate or just an estimate in the end.

[@DilophoMS]

7:15 is my favorite. Sounds like from Hans Zimmer.

[@whatwhowhen]

So good!

[@misteriain6209]

Best OST next to Shadowbroker IMO. Damn good DLC, too.

[@rybo1233]

I’ve played the trilogy since the first game came out in 2007 and even after all these years I love them and this dlc I still get the adrenaline rush I did then

[@Andrej_Davlatov]

Люблю музыку Mass Effect безумно! Спасибо вам за такие шикарные миксы!

[@RKx25]

👍

[@chucksneedmoreland]

Dikicyan and Velasco are just ripping it up, ME3, ME2, Space Marine. This + Titus' Theme = win.

[@mickeybunts]

my favorite part 15:45

[@dragonieprayer]

amazing track.... it catches your attention, and doesnt let it go till the end. Simply amazing

[@Squee36]

Thank god bioware found them. Their style is perfect for mass effect.

[@mrAZcardinal]

18:00 don't know how it happened but there was a slow zoom in on Sheploo's face at that point and I knew he'd be forever my favourite protagonist to any game and story for the rest of my lifetime

[@EQFlower]

This DLC I must get around to playing, great soundtrack.

[@shortxbusxsteve454]

I've only had a youtube account for the last few weeks but i've listened to your posts for years. thank you dtaylor for uploading all of these fantastic soundtracks. -S

[@x0lopossum]

9:31 is intense 13:28 OH MY GID the Arival base music

[@nicolaj990]

This was the last dlc I ever got for the game, I had all the others except this one, and my god did this alter the story in a way that I liked. I heard from people its best to do this DLC AFTER finishing the suicide mission, never done that but heard its the best

[@Marvel170]

It is absolutely the best way to finish Mass Effect 2

[@superking-nicolaslucau7252]

It makes literally no sense to do this before the suicide mission

[@dawsonoo7]

this is what I keep listening to while march draws near and the invasion and the fear that my laptop wont be able to run ME3

[@TheBezixx]

Doctor Kenson dislikes.

[@rodrigobasualto8057]

THE BEST PART 17:40 18:40 AWESOME

[@eduardmeier1818]

this is real space music!

[@Soap74205]

You sir, just made my day.

[@Super6-Four]

This reminds me of Stargate Universe. Excellent music.

[@supervegito2277]

11:37-11:50 sounds ALOT like a remix, or vice versa, of the actual collision OST which ive seen nicknamed The Beginning Of The End.

[@rodrigobasualto1200]

17:32 IS AMAZING

[@SpectreManz]

I think this was one of the strongest points of the trilogy.

[@TheMatteo555]

13:29

[@finstrike7]

This was an amazing dlc mission, certainly worth every penny as was the rest of the dlc for ME2. Bring Down the Sky for ME1 is just as great but this one was certainly more doom impending, since you are about to either run out of time before the Reaper Invasion, or just about to crash an asteroid right into a mass relay and die in the resulting blast. Still it was awesome. From Ashes dlc for ME3 is on par with all the dlc from ME2.

[@xcryosonx]

I was just thinking after me legendary that how twisted is it that in arrival Shepard blows up the batarian colony whereas in bring down the sky you could be the one to save the batarians from doing the same

[@KhyberPunk]

I really like playing this DLC, especially at the end of ME2. ME2 is great , but it sidelines the main story. Arrival makes you finally start to feel the urgency and seriousness of what's about to happen, so it's really fun as a ramp up to ME3.

[@chiffmonkey]

The start makes me confident to guess the Mars theme in ME3 was by Velasco and Dikician.

[@ioannisdenton]

yeah. all these tracks are memorable and great! I occassionaly listen this whole suite of arrival. Perfect music!

[@chiffmonkey]

Listen to Mars and some others. Trust me, Arrival is buried in there. And Suicide mission is a loose remix of Spectre Induction which is used in ME3 (The Fleet Arrives)

[@frzferdinand72]

"Shepard's tearing us apart!"

[@АнтонГлазко-ъ4ъ]

It was privat Tommy Waiso!

[@Noein_Argonar_84]

Fucking masterpiece game

[@gdprusheen1165]

Med bay on Project Rho 13:30

[@Squidward558]

you are missing the song where after Kenson blows herself up with the grenade you have to run to the communication tower, adding that would make me very happy

[@ARGHouse504]

I had a suspicion that when I entered the asteroid base that things were going to turn ugly and not be so straight forward. "Indoctrinated? no no... not at all."

[@Stouk618]

9:35 for Arrival Escape.

[@phreethoughts]

starts about 9:30

[@oxv122]

Synth is amazing.

[@N7vai]

Amazing.

[@Perturabo-h7c]

Time after impact: 13 seconds.

[@Auroral_Anomaly]

2:40

[@chiffmonkey]

For the soundtracks ME2 DLCs > ME2 > ME1 > ME3 in my opinion. And that's not saying that ME3's is bad!

[@EQFlower]

Also the male model who formed the basis of shepards looks... wow.

[@KissMyBlade]

Very Deus Ex ish like Pure awesome

[@Vifvd]

Citadel is great but I dlc that ties into the story like arrival and leviathan. Because lets face it arrival bridges the gap between me2&3 beautifully and leviathan sort of justifies the stupid god child. The citadel dlc is great for us all time me fans but it doesnt technically have any relevance.

[@roseth22]

The final days will come

[@travismcnasty51]

"Reminds me of Akuze."

[@ZiggyIsGrape]

end of the world-ish me like

[@City-Hunter]

@nareyio finally i got it, and no, the game's not complete but almost complete.

[@City-Hunter]

was this add-on on the PS3 version of ME2 ?

[@Murfkj]

Wanna destroy a mass relay Can they even do that yes yes we can haha

[@Squidward558]

@dtaylorutube oh right thats why i couldnt find it, thanks

[@CptBomBom00]

Some scary shit.

[@Squee36]

Citadel was easily the best DLC for the trilogy. I've put at least 6 hours into it. Well worth the price tag. The arena is fun as hell.

[@bottlecapsandgorilla]

Who composed these tracks? Wasn't Sam Hulick was it?

[@cybercityoedo808]

This DLC alone was better than all of Mass Effect Andromeda.

[@t.j.5574]

I don’t think the creators of andromeda even played the original trilogy lol.

[@usa-1129]

It's like the Andromeda team was made up by a bunch of losers who just wanted the "Mass Effect" title on their resumes.

[@Francis_UD]

Largely agreed. Andromeda’s story is shit in my books but its music is okay.

[@panzerstrelok]

@KissMyBlade both games are awesome. your right som of it deus ex like. besides deus ex games are the mass effect prodject leades favortie games so....

[@Squee36]

Its level design was pretty neat, and had some great moments (fighting through waves while you're about to hit a mass relay). I agree with you on the choices, I think they wanted to test the waters with situations where you can't actually change the outcome (I feel they nailed it with Thessia in ME3). But it came off bad because of it being a DLC. I think Arrival was good, just not worth the price tag - like 'Omega'.

[@dawsonoo7]

definitely a better ending than ME3

[@dragonieprayer]

care to explain why it was 'shit'?

[@Medinaxz]

The music has been good in the series. This is no exception. If only the series could live up to the music. At least in some cases, it does.

[@sergius0202]

Where is Femshep? Who is this male?

[@Sigurjon96]

It was an okay DLC not necessarily the best aftermath to the epic Suicide Mission but it was good and entertaining. Just a bit braindead and a lack of actual choices and morality also not a fan of Shepard slaughtering 300 thousands of innocent Batarian's as if he and the Alliance didn't have enough bad reputation against them. Then BioWare adds mass murder into the mix. That being said the music is very, very excellent it's so atmospheric and ambient like. I never understand why Shepard didn't face trial for the actions he did here in Mass Effect 3 I feel like it was cut content or something. Kind of disappointing. There was literally no point to Dr. Amanda Kenson's character's existence other than her being an indoctrinated fool and stupid. Wave after wave of unnecessary fighting just to finally get her. 6/10. Felt a million times more heroic and accomplished after finishing Suicide Mission so much better. Better to do this DLC before the final mission.
