Mass Effect Squad Tribute - True Strength

[@drabsyo5490]

A moment of silence to everyone who didn’t get play this damn masterpiece of a video game, and a toast to those that did and continue to relive it to this day 🍻

[@firefighterbrian2585]

amen brother

[@wowplayer00]

aye!!!!

[@garrusvakarian267]

After finishing the series so many times, I wanted to play like I've never played. Killing Wrex in ME1, letting some squat members die in ME2 and do the very bad decisions in ME3. But I just couldn't do it. To all the game developers out there, this is how you create amazing characters!

[@mrwindupbird101]

I did a full Renegade run through the series once. 1 was bad, 2 was manageable but 3....I felt like a monster.

[@Suave2459]

Garrus Vakarian I thought that I can do a full renegade but I really can't. There are renegade moments I do but I am always paragon no matter what

[@peizz]

Garrus Vakarian Respect all of you guys Mass Effect forever in my heart🙏

[@nazmulfahad3044]

True that

[@samulahtinen05]

i have played trough the whole trilogy 5 times m8

[@gamerboy6787]

Admiral Anderson: "You did good, child... you did good." I tear up every single freakin time.

[@michaelcanales85]

Saddest part for me in this one was Mordin's part. I honestly think that if there was one line meant for any character ever made, that was made perfectly for him.

[@jacobcoleman8250]

Michael Canales Someone else might have gotten it wrong.

[@CVL13]

+Michael Canales Mordin is amazing. I cry everytime he dies.

[@cathalhughes5996]

The Best Gun Ever Necrochasm mordin.... arguably the saddest death im all of mass effect

[@xSuspect-7]

@@cathalhughes5996 I think thane's death is one of the worst (legion too)

[@jaytodd4191]

After he dies and replaying the game, hearing him say that line during random conversations tugs at my heartstrings

[@spamhonx56]

Grunt. the one badass so badass he badasses his way through his own death scene.

[@RevanMaverick]

well im lucky he didnt die through out my playthrough, he is so funny in the citafel dlc ;D

[@spamhonx56]

ethan mcdonald haha, my point was that his heroic 'death' scene ends with him walking up covered in blood and demanding food.

[@RevanMaverick]

spamhonx56 ya

[@RevanMaverick]

spamhonx56 on my first playthrough he died, it sucked, it was much better on my 2nd walkthrough, im gonna start my 6th full Mass Effect walkthrough once its close to ME4 release

[@guifire9747]

Well, he was hungry, would can blame him? You can't die properly with an empty stomach

[@skinchen]

*must not cry*.........*cries*......I NEVER WANTED IT TO END!!!!

[@davidsynakievicz3011]

it reminds me. “It's like the great stories, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.”

[@herbytree]

One of my favourite LotR quotes. Gets me every time 🙂

[@RicoLen1]

I really do miss this story. Andromeda just won't be the same. It could be great. It's dubious but it COULD even be better, but nothing will ever replace this story, or it's value to me. To say it's the greatest game I've ever played would do it a disservice, and might not hold true in perpetuity. Every year or so, I will read the Kingkiller Chronicle, and The Dark Tower. Every year or so I will binge watch LOST. I will watch Edward Scissorhands, The Princess Bride, The Lord of the Rings (& Hobbit). I have done this my whole life since first experiencing these stories. Mass Effect is the first and only game trilogy (thus far) I will play again every year or so for the rest of my life.

[@fyrfly8768]

too bad Andromeda sucked just to compound the sense of loss

[@TheLestart]

i will Mass Effect 100% show my future kids when they are old enough. we must reminding future generations about the story of Commander Shepherd so that he/she will never be forgotten❤

[@lachlanbold8319]

I freely admit that when Mordin died I cried like a baby, I was really attached to him.

[@mrwindupbird101]

It's ok, I'm sure everyone did. If they said they didn't, they're lying.

[@mrsmithut]

First time I played through when that happened, I cried my eyes out. Still hits me when I play through the game.

[@gaborlesko1430]

I didn't :)

[@Lord_IckisDickus]

;[ when he said... someone else could've gotten it wrong.

[@guifire9747]

Mordin Solus: -Actually beat a Krogan that was strangling him -Singer and Author -Genius scientist -Cure the Genophage -A loyal friend but most importantly: -Broke omega's one rule, in more ways than one

[@regiman222]

This is why I love Mass Effect, you grow to care for your team mates (even the ones who start off as assholes #Jack#, #Zaeed#) and they stand by you from start to finish, if anything happens to them (Like Thane, Mordin, Legion) you actually feel something.

[@13shadowphoenix13]

8 years and this is still the best mass effect tribute video ever. Will definitely be watching this before I play mass effect legendary edition.

[@IvicaStudios]

No, Mass Effect Sacrifice Tribute is great too :,)

[@RosePedoll]

I always get shivers when Mordin says "some one else might have gotten it wrong" the. He goes up the elevator and.... I'm out of words for how beautifully this video was made. Thank you for making this awesome video out of an amazing game

[@The_Nightsong]

*Trying not to cry* The BEST squad tribute I've seen!!!!

[@JoakimFigge]

I cry within 20 seconds

[@13shadowphoenix13]

Got mass effect legendary edition today. I am a man of my word, I'm watching this video before I play it. Still the best mass effect tribute video ever.

[@eunectes2007]

2020, Still tears... and still chills

[@antonslavic1899]

2021 still...first playthrough(s) did about 5 lol never could vary my decisions. Someone else could have gotten it wrong

[@ArchonSG1]

Its been a while since i played the ME Series. This just brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for making this.

[@herbytree]

And thank you for taking to time to watch it and comment. Glad you liked it.

[@BoxingDawg]

@@herbytree MELE brought me here. Respect!

[@macwright4804]

Sometimes, when I’m being beaten down by the world and everything going on I picture Garrus saying “Before your friend picks you up, dusts you off, and tells you your the best damn soldier he’s ever met. We’ll get through this.”

[@aquoslover200]

I hadn't cried from a game or a movie in years, heck basically haven't since I was a kid, but this game. . . It's special, it makes you feel like that is the best team in the universe, that the friendships are the most important ones you could ever imagine, your character as Shepard has to trust their lives to them, and they never let you down. Thank you for this tribute.

[@ReDJok3rXBL]

It's tributes like this that show that there's a lot more to games. Games can make you feel something in your heart. Teach you morals. Especially with mass effect. Amazing job.

[@joripien]

This is it. The one video that perfectly sums up why this trilogy will always be the most important three games I have ever played.

[@Eothair]

You just captured the essence of what Mass Effect is. The true bond between you and your squad. A real band of brothers ready to die for any in the team. Shivers and goosebumps during the whole video. Amazing job!!!!

[@JoakimFigge]

I keep coming back to this tribute whenever I need a good cry, my god...theres no words to do ME justice to me.

[@laracroft609]

THIS is true friendship in its purest form.

[@TonyHans99]

[@andrekolbow4539]

No Videogame ever as so a fantastic and awesome Npc development like the Mass Effect Trilogy did.

[@A2754-m4w]

I love this tribute. The Mass Effect trilogy is one of those game series that isn't just about good gameplay. It actually gets you invested in the story and characters and makes you care what happens to them.

[@thecriptkeeper]

I keep coming back to this video after 2 years, and can't help myself to shed a tear on the Mordin scene.

[@brendanryan766]

I never comment on KZbin videos but this was so well done I am making a point to. This video was touching and showed the connection we all built with the crew of the Normandy. Thank you for making this wonderful tribute.

[@herbytree]

And thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a comment. Glad you liked it. :)

[@stefanrobertamann8688]

thanks for that video even in 2018 and above .. i feel mass effect would not have been the same without them , the companions joined shepard in his/her journey you deserve every single like you get for making this video

[@herbytree]

Stefan Robert Amann thanks for your kind comment. It's nice to know that some people enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making it. The Mass Effect trilogy was the most special gaming experience I've had so just really wanted to share some of the sentiments it left me with by making these tributes.😊

[@mathisblair2798]

LISTEN TO ME! OP! I WANT TO THANK YOU! FROM THE ABSOLUTE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! LOOK.... I DOWNLOADED THIS.... VIA A KZbin MP3 CONVERTER....AND ITS BEEN IN MY MP3 PLAYERS FOR YEARS SINCE YOU MADE IT! hell... I look at every fight in my life, every battle... Mass effect fans like and loved this video for all the obvious reasons! This trilogy changed so many lives.... And you encapsulated so much of its heart..... Thank you. Because these words, this video apply all the time... In my opinion... Life is a battle we all will lose eventually. And... Thank you. Tha k you so much for this clip. I cant tell you how mant times it has carried me through. Thank you.

[@herbytree]

Thank you for such a heartfelt comment. It's great to hear you got so much enjoyment from this video and even more so from this wonderful trilogy, that left such a special impact on many of our lives. This trilogy is really a once in a lifetime experience that so many of us will always be grateful for. Hope you're getting to enjoy it all over again with legendary. :)

[@chrisjackson3753]

This genuinely made me cry, thank you. The ME series always makes me feel human

[@Winterking23]

Ive only started the mass effect trilogy with the legendary edition and just started the 2nd one, but i am blown away with just how amazing the characters are so well detailed and the emotional deliverance of them is flawless this game has impressed me at every turn and even brought me to tears on occasion and i can definitely see myself replying over and over just to keep having these characters in my life

[@herbytree]

Just want to say thanks to everyone who took the time to hit the like button and make this my first ever video to get 1000 likes! It was hard for me to imagine this even getting more than a few views so I really appreciate all the feedback you have given and hope to get back to making videos sometime soon again.

[@RevanMaverick]

its one of my favorite Mass Effect Tributes, Awesome Job :D

"Humanity needs a leader" "Why me?" "Because they believed in you.."

[@herbytree]

Thanks, glad you liked. :) I usually listen to loads of songs before choosing one for a vid because I feel that the music determines everything else I choose from the clips and edits to the sound effects and dialogue. Decided to make this vid though straight away after listening to this great song. :D

I cried. This is one of the best videos I've seen about ME on the internet. Well done

Thanks for your comment, it made my day. It means a lot and I'm really glad it was something helpful for you. Wishing you bright and better times ahead🙏

[@eepymae]

This video brought out the beautiful purpose of the whole trilogy; you did a fantastic job and brought me to so many tears. Thank you for making this, :)

[@stonedconfused6179]

The fact that so many people and unique characters in a span of three games wrex,garrus,jack,thane, and joker I mean it actually felt like you as shepard made not only the best squad of misfits you made a family lets all drink for the ones we lost along the way

[@razi9l1]

After the ending - yes the new extended enhanced ending - I was kind of depressed. Not just because it still sucked but also because I missed the Normandy's crew so much it hurt. Asked myself what to play next or what to do after finishing ME3... Turns out watching this video was exactly the right thing to do. Have watched it 20 times or more so far. Thank you for creating this :)

[@RicoLen1]

If you don't develop strong feelings of attachment to any less than 10 of the characters in this game, you're little more than a sociopath undeserving of love. Shepard, Garrus, Wrex, Liara, Tali. Mordin, Legion, Thane, Grunt. EDI. How anyone could not love those characters is beyond me. Secondarily, I can't imagine anyone not loving at least a few of these guys in addition to the 10 above: Joker, Anderson, Miranda, Jack, Samara, Javik, Traynor, Aria. I can see some people getting turned off by some of these characters, either due to lack of depth, or hard to accept personality traits, but not all of them. I can however understand, most people disliking: Ashley, Jacob, Morinth, Vega.

[@RicoLen1]

Liara's my girl, and I love seeing Garrus and Tali, Joker and EDI, as well as Ashley and Vega get together.

[@miltongeorgina]

Oh but Liaras MY girl :p

[@liaratsoni3925]

Oh really, Commander? *Crosses her arms* I'm happy to see that so many people liked to romance me during their Gameplays. I am deeply honored, and also very shocked with the ending of the series. ... I really wanted my little blue children...

[@orionrolater2812]

Don't you start on Ashley or you may find the barrel of a Paladin pressed against your skull. Don't.

[@EmeraldDreams7]

I am currently on another play though for this amazing trilogy and it will always have a place in my heart

[@youshihunter]

Whos back after the Mass Effect Remastered announcement?

[@ShiftySetax]

This is a hero. No one under his command questions. Because they know that at the end Shepard WILL WIN. S/He have brought together the strongest force in the galaxy through their will alone. By Shepard, the end was defeated.

[@StarkoftheNorth]

He never was defeated he breathes in the last scene when you destroy the Reapers and i still hope, that we will see him in the new part happy together with however S/He chose to be together with so i can say:" he suffered many losses but at the end he was happy and lived a good live with children and wife in the Galaxy which he safed

[@Bacxaber]

StarkoftheNorth Shepard won't be in ME4, confirmed.

[@StarkoftheNorth]

Yeah i already heard it and i think that this fact is one of the most shaming things about the 4th part of the whole mass effect universe

[@ShiftySetax]

Shepard's time is over. He did his/her job, and now it'a time for another story.

[@KaisusTrin]

This is still my favorite Mass Effect video to date, so thank you for making this.

[@IOtte]

Wow. Just stumbled across this as I finished the Trilogy (LE) once again for The Who knows how many times. Amazing soundtrack and you really captured the essence of the game. The characters and story writing were just phenomenal and unfortunately developers don’t put the effort into it anymore nowadays. This is and will always be my to go to game at least once a year. What a ride.

best mass effect tribute i have ever seen, good job

[@quantum5661]

its things like this that make mass effect more then a game, its a world. when i hear "Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong." i think of the devs just as much as mordin, and it appears that with andromeda, someone else did get it wrong. mass effect is one of the very few games thats made me cry like a baby. i remember beating... heh beating... you dont beat mass effect, you win by getting beat by it. i remember getting to the end of ME3 and just being totaly drained. i was out of fight, ready for some rest, felt like i needed a bit of shuteye, just like shep... but only one of us woke up after that. rest in peace, fiona shepard. you shall forever be remembered by me as the hero of heros. master chief doesnt have shit on you.

[@Sl1c3r7]

Here once again for support always helps when your under fire your own reapers these games and people who made them have kept me sane and alive for all these years I owe you everything when life is terrible or depressing I always have wrex shouting Shepard my friend or garrus to confide in grunt to watch my six mordin to teach me never to run from my problems no matter how hard they are to bear and many others to help along the way

[@rickyvandusen1744]

[@CVL13]

Goddamn you. Don't look at me like that! Those aren't tears! I just have something in my eye. In both eyes! Never in my gaming life have I lived and laughed with and cared and cried for a game's characters like the ME crew. The bond that you get to create with your crew in this series is amazing and you get to love each and every one of them (well, except for Kayden, because I always sacrificed him for the hot chick... :D) Big shoutout to my man Garrus, NO video game hero could have a more awesome best friend than that ugly old Turian! But yeah... this music and video are perfect. And I kinda just wanna put down Fallout 4 and start Mass Effect all over again right now. :D Thanks for that! Great video man! You've got talent!

[@freddyvasilopoulos3093]

I'm not a gamer, I'm a mass effectist. I just hope the next mass effect will be as intricate, immersing, emotional, inspiring, influential, captivating, awesome and sexy as the holy trilogy was... I honestly hope those guys from Canada will be true to their fans and not produce a silly spin-off.

[@Mrcheekymonkeyisback]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

[@1701EarlGrey]

Despite lackluster ending to ME 3 this remain the best science fiction trilogy in history of video games - when crew of Normandy embodies whole galaxy deciding to stay together against a common threat, when in one voice galaxy declared; "we won't go quietly in to the night". And that's all thanks to best crew in ME universe, crew of SSV Normandy - one of the best crews in history of video games.

[@monochr0m321]

Must...not....cry...T_T Great job featuring Shepard's true strength...her friends. Many thumbs up for you. :-)

[@Remoniq]

I think this is the only games that made me feel that any characters death was a failure, as if I only were faster or smarter I could save one more life.
