Personally i can say this was the most epic videogame finale i've gone through. The Soundtrack is so powerful. It symbolise the fear of facing an overwhelming enemy but also there is so much hope in it. To be honest im new to the series and I haven't complete the third game yet, but the first two games were such an amazing experience. First time playing I was completely hooked to first game and allways wanna find out more about the lore and everything. Second game takes the good stuff of the first and expanded it much more! Great characters, many new ones but also characters from the first game like Tali. Mass effect 2 was an amazing Journey with an amazing final. I was thrilled all the time that everyone would make it home alive.

I remember when ME2 started, how almost everyone of the original crew got separated and Shepard needs to assemble a new team, I was so upset cause I loved the characters from the first game, but let me say I was glad they did this. They introduced great new characters who you actually cared they lived or died, and this mission, I felt the intensity and nervousness of having any of them die. Obviously the first playthrough some of them died, but nowdays I always have them all live in the end, I just can't bear any of them die.

Going into ME3, I had expected the Battle for Earth mission to be like the suicide mission, but times 10, where you, along with _every single surviving companion from all three games_, go in, and you micromanage your companions throughout the battle and the way the battle plays out depends on what roles you give your companions; e.g. Garrus can either one of your teammates, or he can provide support as a sniper and have him one-shot-kill any single enemy unit followed by a cooldown time, or Liara or Tali can be on your squad fighting, or you can group them together and have them send emergency medi-gel drops every few minutes depending on cooldown; and like in Dragon Age, you can send out units from the different races you recruited to help out, each with their own specialty (the asari with their biotics, krogan with their brute force and tanking skill, turians with their infantry support, quarians or geth with tech support). Instead we got a more-or-less scripted battle where we fought waves of enemies. Hella fun, to be sure, but it could've been so much more...

I will never forget how I felt playing this. I was a teenager, just finished school for the day and ran upstairs to play the final mission. It’s nostalgic to me because now I’m married, live in another country and have two kids. Crazy what happens in 10 years. I salute you my teenage self, and I’m also sad I’ll never get to play as commander shepherd again. Can’t wait to show my eldest this game and disappoint him haha!

[@thesamejackalsniperthatkil117]

Nah it all went down to one thing Congrats. You killed the illusive man, now celebrate with a colored explosion

[@user-ly2ll5od1r]

in me2 you were assaulting some pawn minion base. In m3 you were trying to survive an existential threat that has killed millions generations before, a threat that the game kept bashing you over the head how is *literally unbeatable*. The 2nd half of the game pushes this even further by implying that everyone will just go and die fighting, not even expecting to survive or even less - win. This exactly why I love how Priority: Earth basically has no music whatsoever, just raw sounds of human screams, gunfire, explosions and death all around you. This isn't an adventure that you were preparing for in the background for 40 hours, this is a harvest you were trying to survive for 40 hours. And I am not trying to devalue to awesomeness that is the suicide mission. Yes, it's a great mission, but it's great *because* the game earns it. You are simply fighting Reaper pawn soldiers, literal minion zombies. Me3 trying to replicate that would fail miserably. Ranoch is another memorable mission in the series, mainly because it shows how it takes consecutive orbital bombardment synched together by FIFTY *FUCKING THOUSAND SHIPS* just to down a single pawn reaper that is more than 11x smaller than a normal reaper. This is the only reaper in the entirety of mass effect 3 that gets actually killed by conventional means, and even that took *FIFTY FUCKING THOUSAND* rounds of consecutive fire down the reapers throat, assuming the ships fired multiple rounds with multiple weapons attached to each specific ship and you're looking at more than *HALF A MILLION ROUNDS* of massive caliber projectiles directly firing at just a simple small reaper pawn ground troop just to disable it's motor functions, the reaper doesn't even die after that, it still talks and taunts you proving how there's an infinite number more of them and how wasting billions of credits on the rounds fired just to kill it is a pointless struggle.

The Mass Effect trilogy is one of the if not the best games ever. They were very iconic and did many things that almost no other games did. And some games today even tried to copy what they did like having an open world-ish game with missions, having followers, vehicles, etc. The enemies and allies you make in the game are very cool and they have so much lore behind each character and they’re very interesting making it much funner to play with them and also how each interaction may alter the rest of the game and the following games. Mass Effect sorta started its own genre of gaming, lol.
