Battle of the Milky Way - Epic Space Battle - Mass Effect Legendary Edition Ending

[@randallcromer66]

I haven't played any of the Mass Effect game's and until now I didn't know what I was missing. This video has convinced me to purchase the game.

My best friend who was a massive ME fan, passed away just before the legendary version came out, he was looking so forward to it. He would have freaked out just how good the game looks, it's such a shame he will never get to see it. His name was Dillion or Dill to his friends, he was a fantastic guy who loves and got on with everyone as long as you didn't talk about Lord of The Rings he had such a thing about that book. I just thought I would share a little bit of him to keep him in the minds of people so he's never truly forgotten..

I love how Codex descriptions and cinematics of space warfare in Mass Effect are so ludicrously different.

[@haddythegamer]

tbh the way the codex describes it is pretty contradictory, this just feels more simple + "movie quality"

[@lupahole]

That's what i thought when i first saw that scene back in 2012. But to be fair, they at least address the lore with that long range opening salvo. Who cares though, this is space opera not hard sci-fi. The series is filled with handwavium.

Lazy moves, they didn't bother fixing that.

[@Dinvan]

@@Vantud391 Did they fix anything? I'm still at ME1 and it looks the same as the original.

[@CountScarlioni]

If I remember right, most of the the pre-rendered sequences in ME3 were produced out of house by a film VFX studio (I _think_ it was The Mill in the UK). It will have cost Bioware a fortune to get them made in the first place and is unlikely to be something they have any power to tweak at this point. Not without parting with another shedload of money anyway. I'm sure they could have done other embellishing work, but it doesn't sound like the remaster team spent much of any time on ME3. All the effort and money seems to have been spent bringing ME1 up to spec.

[@Mariner797]

They could, but that costs money.

[@tyreal06]

They are lazy and only aiming for the money, milking the gamers again and again

[@AndroidPLUR]

If they made this into a show with a giant budget, the right people behind it, and stuck close to the games… guaranteed it would be a world wide hit and an all time best. I just want as many people to fall in love with this universe like I have!

I still remember back then when I first played this. I went through all the galactic drama & lost some of my dearest friends to assemble the ultimate fleet. Every chapter of the final mission felt like Stalingrad, only difference is that if we fail this, we can't just retreat across Volga. If we fail, everything we've ever loved will perish. When people bid farewell, most of them say "good luck" because we don't even know the odds of us winning. The emotional weight of this game is so immense.

Wonder why they didn't try to mass produce the Thanix cannons for if nkt all most of their ships. I know experimental but the Normandy had them and proven that they do work. Imagine the Turian dreadnoughts with such firepower. Also kinda sad that they made this whole leviathan dlc and they have basically no role in the final battle. They don't even make an appearance on the ground of them taking over reaper forces even briefly to help Shephard.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and guess that it wasn't so easy to mass produce safely.

The Alliance (under Anderson) had been secretly preparing. Hell they even helped keep the Andromeda initiative a secret.

I mean hell not even the Volus and they know how to get shit if they want it.

[@Gutenburg100]

@@johanneshjortshj8646 its a weapon that fires molten metal at high speeds and temps just like the reapers weapon. In fact I think it was based off it. Given the time frame between ME2 and the events of ME3 and the successful trial of it on the Normandy (cause it was experimental at the time) id say no reason to mass produce it even if it wasn't safe. It was better than the guns they currently had. Honestly the only real reason I can think of is the power output it requires. The Normandy had a much more advanced core. Thats why I say put it on dreadnoughts. They have a core that generates similar quantities of energy as the Normandys core does. Even if you just fit two on there it would have been a huge advantage in the battle for palaven and earth. Hell the Asari who were the most advanced could have probably mass produced and fielded the weapon in large quantities. All I'm saying is that it seems like the upgrades that the Normandy got in ME2 that helped them against the collectors who had technology almost on par to the reapers went unnoticed or disregarded by the other species. Even the ones who believed the reapers were real and "prepared".

[@makeitrain280]

I played mass effect for the first time through the legendary edition and I got to say as cool as it is to get the whole galaxy together I just wish I could’ve seen the actually effects. Like those living tank Elcors on the ground shelling the enemy or asari snipers providing support on the ground, or the cloud bombardment fleet and Cerberus fighters play out in space. I especially felt let down that all the shit I did to get troops for the ground like all those mercs from omega never showed up. Though in hindsight I guess it is a bit to ask for especially now

[@markrateh]

The fighters used by the alliance pilots are reverse engineered Cerburus fighters if I remember correctly. (not as powerful manouverability wise, smaller cores and fewer thruster but also less expensive)

[@Egobyte83]

Huh, I just realized something this far down the line. Though this is by far my favorite cutscene in the entire trilogy, if the allied fleet is coming at the reapers at that angle, where the Earth is somewhat BEHIND the reapers.... then every mass accelerator shot of the entire allied fleet that MISSES ..... sends projectiles with the kinetic energy of about 38 kilotons of TNT raining down on the earth........ you got to assume that there is going to be a hell of a lot of "two and a half times the destructive power of the fission bombs that destroyed Hiroshima" taking place down there; we're talking nuclear barrage from the very fleet sent to save them. o.O

[@captain0080]

The Normandy had Thanix cannons, it could have taken out that reaper like it was nothing instead of flying in to rescue your team.

[@mingQWERTY]

That “Reaper” is the oldest, largest and most powerful Reaper in the armada. Do you really think a single Thanix cannon can take that thing out? If anything it should be Harbinger who should have destroyed the Normandy, I guess plot armor is just too powerful

[@captain0080]

@@mingQWERTY Thanix cannons could cut through kinetic barriers, shields and armor like it wasnt there. It's the reason Turians scrambled to recover what was left of Sovereign after it exploded and cover the salvage operation as clean up to resume citadel operations.

[@Duke_of_Petchington]

@@captain0080 thanix cannons are reverse engineered Reaper MAs, they aren't one hit wonders to reaper capitals and they dont just go through KBs either, Mass Torpedoes do. The Projectiles that comes out of thanix, is a liquid metal suspended in a ME field. Also the entire alliance fleet was actually retrofitted with thanix cannons which allowed cruisers and Normandy SR2 class heavy frigates to one shot Reaper destroyers.

[@captain0080]

@@Duke_of_Petchington acoding to the codex entry they go though any known shield or armor, and it definitely can destroy a reaper with a well placed shot, just like the original Normandy managed to make Sovereign explode with its frigate class weapons once its shields were brought down.

@@captain0080 the Normandy sr1 used a mass torpedo on sovereign I believe. Reaper Capital Ships (Battleships/Dreadnoughts) can’t be one shot. But cruisers (with or without thanix) can one (well placed) shot reaper destroyers. Normandy SR2 Thanix didn’t even one shot the collector cruiser.

i saw salt factory's video on me1 and clicked off the first 5 mins to buy the game myself. I had no what i was missing for so long. the first and second games were pretty good but it was the 3rd one that really drove everything home. Felt like i just finished playing halo 3 for the first time.

For me, you can take every great film, the epics... and it cannot match this moment, you've fought, battled, decided, and you get to here. Your heart is in your mouth, and you think... Oh God, what am I in for? This is a masterpiece and the battle... my God, intense doesn't cover it. The high watermark of gaming, when it transcends everything and you realise... this is better than anything you have ever experienced... and you are scared out of your wits but you FIGHT on. I've played through Mass Effect six times, it never, ever gets old. Legendary Edition is perfect... because it is... a legend. Oh, and Mass Effect 2 - the greatest computer game of all time, it will never be beaten.

[@splatoonistproductions5345]

Goodbye Normandy crew, see you in mass effect 4.

Gonna be sad if the theory of 4 being set hundreds of years in the future because Liara seems older, is correct.

@@mfenix88 but then it wouldn’t make a ton of sense for me. Last we saw that teaser, it showed us that N7 piece from the armour, plus they confirmed that the “Destroy” ending is canon, and why bother teasing us at the end of the game where shepherd is supposedly alive under a bit of debris? (it happens in absolute perfect ending when the name plac isn’t put up on the memorial wall

[@mfenix88]

@@splatoonistproductions5345 I agree mate. The theory only stems from the fact Liara possibly shows signs of aging but others have dismissed as simply being a high quality 4k CGI cinematic trailer rather than in game. I do agree with you. I hope they released the LE so we could import our save from the first 3 games. Would explain why they made it more difficult in the LE to achieve the ending where Shepard lives

[@bibby659]

When you think about it, even if you fail to beat the reapers, in the end Shephard and everyone else probably does enough damage and kills enough reapers to more than likely give the next generation of the Milky way a chance at beating them, assuming you choose to just leave it to the next generation to choose instead of just destroying them anyway.

[@michaelgiertz-rath7994]

EMS was below "best ending" but still good enough to ensure someone survived. The lowest destruction ending also has a dead Earth and the other species lost a huge chunk of their population as well. So even if they survived, they got forced back to pre-FTL era. In this ending, the damage done isn't irreparable (except for the synthetics) and Shepard didn't survive.

[@Kankan_Mahadi]

This made me cry. Such a beautiful story & ending. I really like the the ending part, too, with the child asking questions. The universe in this game is so much more wholesome with different alien species helping each other out, instead of that of "Warhammer 40,000" where every race are racist fanatics & trying to wipe each other out (with the exception of the Tau). Also, cute alien fish baby!

[@hordescoffeecwest6203]

Been playing Mass Effect since the very 1rst. My total attack strength at the end on ME3 was 120%. With no dlc. When I ordered attack &(this only happens when you're past 100%) 3 Reaper's were totally distroyed on first strike. When you play this game again. It is truly a sight

"Windows are structural weaknesses"

[@helpmereach690subscribers3]

Because the Normandy has a stealth drive making it effectively invisible? Also why would the reapers focus solely on one ship instead of...literally the thousands of others. And no the Thanix cannons the Normandy is equipped with are standard issue on most modern Turian, Asari, and even some human ships. Hell some fighters have been outfitted with them.

[@henriblack8673]

Because that wasn't originally there, they added it in a patch to explain why your squadmates are on the ship when it crashes lol.

[@MikeDchy25]

Thanix cannons are fairly common and some dreadnoughts have them in their main guns, like the Kwunu. That's what the big ass blue flashes across the screen were when they opened fire on the Reapers. The stealth system was engaged and the beams influence doesn't make it easy.
