Mass Effect 3 Tribute | The War is Over

[@llT4KProductionsll]

Anderson: Commander. Shepard: We did it. Anderson: Yes we did. It's quite a view. Shepard: Best seats in the house. Anderson: God... feels like years since I just, sat down Shepard: I think you earned a rest. Anderson. Stay with me we're almost through this. Anderson: You did good, son. You did good. I'm, proud of you. Shepard: Thank you Sir. ...Anderson?

[@DM_Dad]

One of the best scenes in the entire series, especially for male Shepard, with Anderson calling him "son". (Even more so for my main Shepard, who was Earthbound so no parents). Too bad it was followed by such crap.

[@TriploneDMC]

after 2 years of playing it, this video just brings back all the emotions... props to you, man :-)

[@MrSpawley]

DownwithMarx Agreed. Even with a Paranade female Shep why you got to pick destroy if not just for Anderson.

[@OriginalKasym]

Stuart Pawley I think Destroy was my second favorite ending, Control was my least, and Synthesis was, in my opinion, the best, even if it was a "out-of-nowhere" thing, and Anderson was the bro who wanted them dead, I feel like a galaxy where everyone was half robot and Reapers were helping people with everything was amazing. (Plus the Joker and EDI ship didn't seem as weird anymore) Endings could of been amazing, but it was a terrible execution to an otherwise perfect game series

[@DM_Dad]

Richard Cloeren Synthesis was the most offensive ending. It flew in the face of the themes of the series, Strength through Diversity and Self Determination. I do understand why you like it; it was clearly written to be the "good" ending. But if you're the type to get under the hood of stories, as I am, this pisses you off. Control was almost as bad because you just got done telling TIM that even if Control was possible, it was a bad idea. As far as the series, Mass Effect 2 was pointless. Don't get me wrong; I liked the game for it's excellent characters. However the main plot didn't advance the series at all.

[@trivipesnipe]

Maybe it's just me, but Hackett's speech at the end of the destroy ending just feels so much more... right, compared to the other endings.

[@IIAnaxiezzII]

I have to respectfully disagree. EDI’s speech “Because of him, I am alive, and I am not alone” made me sure The synthesis ending was the right choice.

[@gaborlesko1430]

@@IIAnaxiezzII destroy is the only way!

[@IIAnaxiezzII]

Gábor Leskó Between making this comment and now, I found out that Destroy is the ending where Shepard survives. BioWare confirmed it. So I agree. So that Liara and Shepard can have those little blue children they talked about.

[@gaborlesko1430]

@@IIAnaxiezzII Althought he survived, i dont think they ever met again :'(

[@IIAnaxiezzII]

Gábor Leskó why not? In the Destroy ending it’s the only one where Shepard lives. Your love interest actually doesn’t put up the name on the board and has a thoughtful expression in their face, showing that they have hope Shepard survived. I think that’s supposed to show they don’t give up hope and eventually find Shepard

[@KadeSmash]

This series will always hold a special place in my heart. The best game series I have ever played, and I've played so many. This is one of the only games I have ever shed tears over.

[@monofxide]

I just finished the mass effect series, playing 1 2 and 3 in a row. This video brought me to tears. Such an epic series, and I enjoyed the ending. My ending was almost exactly like this one. Thank you for the video my friend.

[@DeaconRayne]

It is astonishing how five minutes of one game can demonstrate more heart, more humanity, than the entirety of some other franchises. Ultimately, the purpose of a story is to inspire and, I believe at least, to make us feel. And that is something that this game, this franchise and this video has done with a masterful touch. Whilst others can barely scratch the surface, this goes for the heart and refuses to let go. Well done.

[@R4Y2k]

this goes for the heart and refuses to let go. When a friend of mine once told me about Mass Effect he had manly tears in his eyes. I didn't understand at that point. "How can you be so caught up in a fucking game?" I didn't know nothing. Now I'm the one that's constantly cutting onions just thinking about it. BioWare delivered us a masterpiece, not only a masterpiece of gaming but a masterpiece of heartfelt, intense storywriting and storytelling. Every death of a friend was like a stab straight to the heart and when I reached the final credits of ME3 the whole world suddenly felt a bit emptier. It was not like just finishing another "good" game but like losing a piece of myself with Shepard. I thought about this for a long time and then it suddenly hit me like a bullet: It's a lesson about life itself. No matter how much effort you put in, no matter if you made a fortune, win a war or defeat your greatest enemy, at the end it's only about friendship and family. You do not mourne your left behind money, your left behind great sportscar or your vacant mansion, at the very end it's all about the people you leave behind. (at least this was what I figured out there^^). In my final moments as Shepard I didn't care that I have to give my life to save the galaxy but about leaving behind my crew and everything that could be achived now that the war is over and the galaxy is united. BioWare nailed it here in I way I've never expected it to happen in a game. That's something that's more likely to expect from lyrical dramas and some pretty outstanding movies.

To this day, I'm in love with this trilogy. Please consider a 4K Remaster (with an alternate cut ending if at all possible). Overall, you created a masterpiece. It tugs at my heart like nothing else. A fucking masterpiece, Bioware! THANK YOU T4K GAMES -- a tear-inducing tribute you've created. Thank you so much.*

You got your wish. I hope you’re looking forward to the remaster in just over a week as much as I am!

[@joshrobinson6411]

One of the best tributes i have ever seen. When You listen to Admiral Hackett's speech you feel as though you were actually one of the soldiers who fought to defeat the reapers. Someone who lost friends and loved ones but in the end their sacrifice wasnt in vain. Death comes to us all but how you choose to live and die is what really matters. To the legendary Commander Shephard, we honor and salute you. Dead but never forgotten oohrahh!

[@llT4KProductionsll]

Thanks for watching, it is indeed one of the most powerful speeches in any game I've ever played.

[@sa_batzgaming4887]

Not only do we feel like one of those Soldiers.. But we could feel like as if we we're Shepard

[@R4Y2k]

Not as powerful as Shepards Paragon speech :P

[@CeruleanPhoenix7]

I just finished Mass Effect 3 last night and this is the perfect tribute video for it. I romanced Liara through the whole trilogy, and seeing her moments with Shepard in this made it even more bittersweet. I got choked up watching this, and I think that says something about how emotionally impactful this series was.

[@mrmaster9801]

It took me 4 years to start the game again, so deeply had it touched me the first time I played it (2016). But right now, while playing ME1 (started a couple of days ago), I can feel the same excitement and the same sense of wonder this videogame gave me the first time I played it. Really hoping for a remastered version with some new elements inside, such as more developed endings for ME3. Meanwhile, I must say you've made a really moving video, it's beautiful, thank you so much.

[@IamDootsdoot]

I'm done crying over the game, but the story of Shepard will always bring a tear to my eye. I played too long to not have an emotional connection the characters. You did an AMAZING job with this.

This is the best Mass Effect video EVER!!!. This video LITERALLY changed my life. It made me feel that there's more to life than getting up in the morning, going to work, coming back, sitting on the computer and going to bed and repeating it. It inspires me, it makes me want to push harder than ever to achieve my goals, it makes me remember and be thankful for what I have and it inspires me to think beyond myself and think of other people. And it makes me think bigger to not just set a goal and achieve it, but to set a goal beyond anything I have ever done. Mass Effect will always remain in my heart
