The Reapers Invade Earth - Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition Opening (PS5 4K 60FPS)

[@kevinscott3047]

I love that Bioware didn't waste any time getting to the invasion. They could've initiated it after the player had settled into the game after an hour of gameplay or so, but nope they just drop the player into the thick of it almost immediately.

Mass Effect 3 had the best music in the trilogy by a wide margin, the best intro in my opinion, and the largest number of moments that made me cry.

the original trilogy is such a masterpiece. Plot, dialogs, music, everything is on the highest level, only the graphics were pulling it a bit behind (especially part 1), until the legendary edition came out and fixed that for good. This opening is hands down best opening ever. Especially if you consider the progression: part 1 - no one knows about the shit coming - the opening is relaxed. Part 2 - some hypothetical shit is on the radar but we are humans we don't care about shit until it's staring at us. And finally part 3 - shit is here prepare yourselves ladies and gentlemen

I didnt play this series until the legendary edition and i gotta say. I feel like the drama over the ending is blown out of proportion.

With all the cinematic video game adaptations in the works, how is this trilogy not at the top of the list

[@GalacticLore_fiction]

Agreed if they make a live action series it would be critically acclaimed these games have some of the best writing in all of fiction.

This was a great opening, but it really sucks that the third game removed the ability to holster your weapon - meaning you are stuck in that nauseating zoomed-in, super narrow field of view all the time. Legendary Edition was the perfect opportunity for them to remedy this

My story with this franchise is funny cause I actually played it in reverse order ME3->ME2->ME1 cause I wasn't interested in it at the beginning + less time due to school Despite that, ME3's opening made me instantly interested in the franchise. The attack on Earth made me wanna get to the end so that I could make the Reapers pay for what they did to Earth That's just how powerful this scene was + the OST is a banger
