Mass Effect 3: An End vs Leaving Earth (Extended Mash Up)

[@skythe22]

Absolutely awesome. I was a late comer to Mass Effect only picking up the trilogy a few months ago (on sale for around $13) as I'm normally not into shooters or shooter type games. I tried to give the game a fair shot and told myself I would give it 4 hours then either play through or put it down for good. Once I got into the storyline I was hooked. I'm now on my 3rd playthrough of the trilogy and still love every minute. Also, I don't care what anyone says I loved the ending and the ultimate sacrifice. The last section of ME3 was so dark and even knowing what was coming it still made me feel. This track brings back so much of that emotional rollercoaster. Thank you.

[@XxExtremeSamX]

Agreed I got the trilogy a few months ago too. I started ME1 and didn't like it too much, but then I got into it. I beat ME2 twice in the last 2 weeks with about 25 hours into each playthrough and started ME3 yesterday...

[@SoBeItAbaddon]

Who's really late with mass effect is me, I recently completed it, it's a pity that I didn't want to do it earlier

[@Th3UnknownVang]

It's amazing how a combination of simple vibrations can be interpreted and reach our hearts and minds, and create beautiful emotions of sadness and sympathy.

[@ro4eva]

When I heard this song near the end of ME3, I remember bursting out in tears. It's simply one of most emotional, gut wrenching moments I've ever experienced in gaming.

[@negi358]

I remember when I playing ME3 with full Paragon, when Garrus said if we were ever gonna retire. It was the first time I did a Renegade option, (this was before I knew the ending.) I never wanted Shepard to stop fighting, he was important, a important hero to the universe, he wasn't like the dragonborn, the dragonborn saved the world. But Shepard, out of all Heroes, he saved the Universe -CommanderJankie a Mass Effect player.

[@wavestrider2160]

My sheppard actually would choose to retire, he's done so much, and all he wants is to go back to his family, the normandy crew, toss back and just relax, live a life, rebuild.

[@robertpanek5944]

This makes me cry. I never cry.

[@12mitso]

I've probably added 100 views to this video in the last 24 hours alone... Can't stop listening to it... Top notch mate!

[@ДмитрийАлексеев-п4щ7ч]

Эххх... ностальгией повеяло. Аж вспомнил с каким наслаждением проходил все части этой замечательной игрушки. =)

[@kierankowalski2921]

Great mix. I love both the pieces in general but you really did great in catching the emotional content in both. Great work.

[@zimsen88]

Thank you for making it without the blaring sounds that came with it. I read my last chapters of Fate of The Jedi with these and it was just one of those moments where music sync up with your life.

[@Ps3Freaky]

After 5 years stil listing to this amazing song a lot

[@SieraGulfOne]

this is..... Beautiful :') you really get a sense of a journey ending, and of peace. its so relaxing.

[@SkyWolfEXP]

Wow... Just wow This really did make me want to bawl my eyes out. You sir are a legend for making this for an awesome game.

[@Plasmaxyz353]

This song is so amazing i've had it in an open tab for the past few days listening to it over and over. Great job.

[@jacobheibult9415]

Its still wonderful to this day

[@erodoeht4666]

Still a tear jerker to this day, I wish I still had any of the old Mass Effect games, oh well I have the memories from that time to help make up for it.

[@saikoudino]

Thank you SO much. The Reaper noise ALWAYS irritated me whenever listen to these songs. (And LOL, Liara headphones ftw!)

[@Happiest666]

I have never cried as much to a game,movie or many real live events as this game. You are not alone :)

[@MrTotallyRad]

Absolutely in love with this. I know you see a lot of KZbin comments that say "Omg so beautiful it made me cry :'(", but this is legitimately tearing me up a little bit.

[@Leoofmoon]

This really focused on how I felt when we left earth in the start of 3, I had played this game sense High school I grew up with this sires and battled may way though not being a hero but trying to bring people together. Seeing earth just helpless to the reaper invasion was heartbreaking to me yet I knew we could not surrender, we needed to fight to the end to the last man we would return and take the fight back.

[@dragonballdoubletime]

Really well done! I loved the double pianos you had going

[@XelestialAurora]

I have been listening to this almost every rainy day. Great inspiration.

[@Thegmsproviders]

For a first video its perfect and this is coming from someone who uploads video game music :) Subbed

[@royox]

"by removing the reaper sounds" WHY!??!?!

[@theangusbeefkiller]

Because THEY ARE BLOODY ANNOYING

[@HesTheBird]

+Angad Singh personally I like them, they contribute heavily to the tone of the song

[@royox]

+Angad Singh I get chills every time I hear the reaper sounds on that song. pd: Lol my comment has +1 year.

[@莫比-q4r]

They hurt me ears

[@suzieBirdoSum009]

I know that feel too. Watched nearly all the youtube ME1 videos. (Didn't have the hardware to play at the time) Played ME2 over 30 times; changing Shepard's appearance and backstory, connecting with different characters, romancing different people, and generally exploring the ME universe. Played ME3 once. Haven't played it since.

[@ossteeves]

Very nice, I love these themes. Thanks for the mash up.

[@MariusKleinhans]

I Miss Shepard....i...i remember the day we met it was n rainy day i hated my life then he came by and showed me how to be strong.......we have been through rough times he and me..ha..damn i miss him... i even remember the time we shared a drink and he got so drunk we ended up in the bathroom staring at an turian pissing..................ill miss you shepard....I ALwaYS LOVED YOU!!!!!

[@taker157]

Nothing beats this song, or Vigil from the Mass Effect soundtrack, my two favorite soundtracks ever.

[@a310060056]

THX for mp3 dude!!!!! I really love this game!!!!

[@ReyRock3]

mass effect trilogy is the most amazing and awesome experience

[@rxttxn999]

1:57 I love this picture

[@XelestialAurora]

Thanks for the mp3! I'm putting it with my collector's edition soundtrack for my mp3 CD for my car.

[@gargoylemon]

epic work on this ! lol love that liara's listening later in the vid haha =b

[@arturotrvn]

A hero never dies...

[@vovaizso4i]

piano... its beautiful!!!

[@ryankelly2265]

The dueling piano themes in this are amazing

[@frapogalos1]

Nothing to say here.....just epic. Epic trilogy epic music full of emotions.

[@TheQueenoftheDead]

I love all three of them. I played the first one right through to the end, and there are moments in all of them that have you in tears. All depends on what happens in them. I've had relationships with Liara, Kaiden, and Garrius and that one was the most moving in the end of the third one. I had tears streaming down my face.

[@WarriorStrategy]

Es con las pocas sagas de juegos que incluso me ha echo desprender alguna lagrima

[@dylanmcneece5475]

ME3 had probably the most soul-wrenching, tear jerking soundtrack of any game i've ever played, period.

[@Xweser01]

what??? the reapers sounds are the best part

[@johnknisely2017]

Such a beautiful piece.

[@TheRollsP]

Wish if this was the original....I have forgotten most of the game....besides few awesome moments and this tune

[@MisterBlue56]

This is such a fantastic mash up. If you make the transitions just a tad bit more seamless this would be 11/10.

[@Taruth24]

this is a great piece of music

[@XelestialAurora]

Agree here, there is one really noticeable transition but on the whole it's still a really great job.

[@TuskehTehTroll]

This deserves 20 times more views than it has. Amazing stuff.

[@lowerlowerhk]

Hearing the music I feel exhausted after a long journey or struggle. I have very little left to keep on, and the hope is dim. But there is no alternatives - I have to move on.

[@arcangelgabriel7274]

The most epic music for the best scenes..... AWESOME ;D

[@HiveBeresrker]

I was talking about the tear jerkers. But yeah, when it comes to the actual musicality, Marty composes masterpieces.

[@tachikoma747]

honestly, the part that got me the most was when Shepard tells a bloody and wounded Tali atr the end of the London mission to go back to Rannoch and make her home, to which she replies "but I already have a home" in the sadest voice ever. I have never ever cried at a video game but I got close there. At least my Shepard lived :) Maybe he'll find Tali again.

[@Cascco]

I never though that a game can be so...emotional...it is incredible

[@mrbutr]

I just relized, ME was never about how badly it ended. It was always about the journey, and the fact that the whole fanbase was PO at the ending proves how invested we all really are. And that, is a great game, my fellow gamers.

[@maxpayen385]

The dead noise made the song stand out but this is a epic game and the soundtrack kills emoticon like you are falling down in a strage world and nothing can stop you.

[@TheBallaz69]

Exactly how I feel! I, for one of few, actually liked ME3's ending. Sure, it sucks that Shepard is out of the story now, but I have never seen such an emotional storyline to a game before. I know a few people who were practically in tears from the ending, but they all liked it. Moreover, the Mass Effect series is just incredible itself.

[@13threaper20202]

well if u pay attention the god child is like the reaper leader (in a basic sense) he says destroy is a option but it solves nothing and puts it down constantly (the destruction of the reapers is being put down by the reapers i wonder why?) then synthesis they live and according to the god child (reaper leader) they stop the harvest and so on, then control reaper leader supports it and so on. "In war deception can be the best defense"

[@rookfactor]

In regards to the music, excellent. As for the game ending. How many games have had an ending that created this much controversy? How many have caused this much debate and even sparked creatively in others? With that in mind I would have to say that the ending works on multiple levels. The extended cut anyway.

[@Soap74205]

sheer bliss and enjoyment.

[@MrBrightside257]

Finally one without those noises.

[@WarriorStrategy]

It is an epic saga, I like, not only by the story, the characters, but because apparent emotions, and is a series that teaches young people something, fellowship, brotherhood, morality, to see situations and focus from several points of view, there are even love, society has lost many great values ​​and ethics, no respect, I like to see that in a video game are some values ​​and can teach something to people, especially to teenagers

[@DaltonsUploads]

Agreed thanks for excluding the blaring sounds that abruptly ruin this peaceful music that most other uploaders always leave in.

[@SuicidalNapkin9]

where did you find that picture of tali with garrus and thane in the background? link please, im gonna make that my desktop wallpaper

[@Zexzeon2]

I got to the point of thinking like this when it comes to the Mass Effect 3 ending. Our actions in life have nothing to do with how it ends. Only thing that matters is how we end. A hero? Someone to be remembered by? Or just that one person that achieved his or her goal. Like stopping the Repaers. And this is what Sheperd did.

[@AlexandreBatalha_Sharkuel]

Yeah. In think your right. When it comes to tear dropping melodies, ME3 is the winner. :)

[@CalmFlames]

the extended cut even makes it better as well...but sure...the ending without the EC was good...the EC made it even better!

[@techtakw]

Also, if you like this soundtrack, Clint Mansell's soundtrack to MOON was quite beautiful and haunting as well. When they said they got Clint to do ME3 I was really excite. Nothing like the Hans Zimmer/Steve Jablonsky/Newton-Howard we get a lot of these days -- not that those are bad, just ubiquitous.

[@_NutcasE_]

i think Bioware added obvious hints in ME3 ending that shepard aint done for 1st the most famous breathing clip from destroy ending. But also when the future kid asks hes grandpa tell another story after he has finished the story that takes place in ME3 and the grandpa says ''fine maybe a 1 more story about shepard''

[@ArisatoMinato42]

I learned An End Once and For All on the piano, but now that I listen to this, I can't help do those piano notes twice in both eights

[@Adamlafi93]

fyi, there is for chrome a loop function you can add-on. thats what i do

[@thedaringfellow]

all I know is, when I finished the game, I felt crushed. It was four in the morning, the sun wasn't up, I was totally alone, I felt as though I had actually died. Died along with Shepard. Despite whether or not the last choices were not the way I planned to end, never before have I been affected by a game like Mass Effect has. It was a life. A detailed, extremely relatable life, and the choices, the final move to end all moves symbolises to me life is more than what we romanticise it to be

[@TheDenix8]

Yeah, I was in tears ... because it was soo good and emotional. Now I have to deal with depression that its actually over... uhh, hard time before me.

[@KirstenBayes]

Loved this, thankyou!

[@ThePandoraGuy]

I was only sad because of Tali. Saved her, gave her the homeworld back and then Shepard leaves her behind. He leaves all behind. But now it is over, the life of this soldier, no more suffer, no more pain, no mor dying friends. Just peace.

[@drewskyGALE]

The rejection ending shoulda been longer and showed a cinematic with you and your entire crew fighting as one till the last man.

[@Maxikingallright93]

I guess Thane mentioned the most important point in the game "Without death, how would we know the value of life"

[@Mx023]

"in death i will be more powerful than you could ever imagine" Shephard had to die. especially to become one of the best tragic heroes the gaming world has ever seen. he deserves to had lived but, 1) things sometimes happen to achieve a desired effect. 2) life is rarely fair

[@Bubbaskadoosh]

who would dislike this song!?!? this song is so moving and it fits so well. i cried a the end a little.

[@Audentia89]

damn, i would have wanted this mix but WITH the reaper sounds... i love them...

[@GodlessDarkness]

I love both. Screw CoD, if any series should be in a competition, it should be Halo and Mass Effect. They are both so awesome in terms of story and gameplay, but have different styles of telling story (RPG vs FPS), but were still awesome.

[@Raidenfenix]

"Rest in peace" - maybe in your playthrough... Shepard is an idea... and I didn't want that idea to die just yet. All of the species didn't join him, he joined them in their fight for survival... Paragon to the fullest. Dem last seconds = Dem feels.

[@flareshiftt]

And looking at the 'good' reaons: Destroy, you know for sure that at least the Reaper threat is gone and no war short term. Control, no innocents killed, Mass Relays still work and you have a option of long term peace (using Reapers as saveguards for chaos). Synthesis, no innocents killed, no war short term and the long term problem has actually been solved forever. This is also why I think synthesis is the 'highest' choice you can make (need most EMS). It's the only one that actually stops war.

[@Lisan_Al_Gaib8]

A great end to a great series

[@13threaper20202]

havent played the leviathan dlc but i do remember a reaper saying that their creators were the first cycle

[@skullzorvids]

i completely agree with you, though it could have been executed better it was not as bad as people suggested it would be and with the addition of the extended cut DLC it was one of the better game ending i have experienced.

[@Konni1969]

Leaving earth is my favorite Mass Effect song.

[@minilars1990]

i get so relaxt formlissemimg this song its just the best

[@XkartosX]

Absolutely amazing!

[@kennydelacruz626]

This is my lullaby when I can't sleep

[@biancat.1873]

Beautiful!!!♥♥♥ :)

[@DocDewrill]

fullscreen, Screenshot (print button) Paste in paint, Save as. finished

[@AXenosProductioNZ]

:( aww... i liked that theory (though the extended cut plus leviathan is awesome)

[@SadakoSenpai]

My Shepard lives on with Tali on Rannoch, each evening watching together the sunset. And that´s it.

[@TheCPonder7]

@TheXtreaminator and those kids have scales so Tali tries to pass them off as a side effect of incompatible DNA

[@ianbouchard9244]

Completely right... Serenaded me.

[@Radwar99]

All great pics, except for the last which looks a bit ridiculous, probably because the headphones look like they weren't placed right.

[@Kamidake83]

Love that fan made image of Tali.....Kind of wish Bioware had flashed the artist some cash and used it in the game.

[@flareshiftt]

Because it's the most paragon thing to do. You know, sacrifice yourself to save every living creature? As opposed to killing billions of beings just so you won't have to sacrifice yourself.

[@The_Musical_Cartograph]

the mass effect series is a true view of war : with all that your can save and lost the concept of morality the problem of racism and fear of the power own by other peaple and the concept of love wihich said that we can have so much great experience with each other when our mind is not blinded by conflict

[@Atley9999]

It wasn't the ending, It was playing the ending twice, seeing how similar they are with over 10,000,000 different possibilities, the endings were basically the same, a big blast that destroyed the Mass Effect Relays only with a different colour.

[@fluffdegoss]

I agree, whole heartedly.

[@MegaPrincessPenguin]

The gameplay was really good and there were some absolutely amazing plot points e.g Krogan Cure. The ending was just not what the players wanted.

[@LieberInsideGaming]

Actually, in ME1 and ME2 Shepard says "Stop the Reapers", or "We'll find a way to stop them".
