Mass Effect 3

<< < (7/9) > >>

Sir Edward:
After playing it through, watch this...



It's not a spoiler, except that it has lots of general imagery of the characters.

I watched it before playing, and I was like "ok, that's nicely done". But after playing, while you're still in that awe-struck state after completing all three of them and seeing the ending credits, this song can drive you to tears. The good kind. Bittersweet, wonderful tears, mixed with a multitude of emotions. It's amazing.

Her blending of several musical themes from the series is just BRILLIANT.

Sir William:
Have you listened to some of her other covers?  Her voice has a haunting quality- much like Amy Lee (but w/out the incredible range, so far as I can tell anyways); she did a few of the Skyrim tavern songs that came out better than what's in the game.

Justin:
I am probably late posting on this topic, but hey, I love the Mass Effect Trilogy. I got Mass Effect 1 on a whim because it was in the bargain bin. I had heard about but never played it. As soon as I started playing, I knew I was in for something great. Going through the trilogy was a wonderfully engaging experience. The decisions that I had to make in those games were truly harrowing. There legitimately times when I would ponder choices for upwards of ten minutes before making my decision. These were usually the points where I felt someone was going to die if I messed up, (and they did). Mass Effect, for me anyway, is better than Star Wars. The immersion factor is amazing. Mass Effect 3 is my favorite. They worked a lot of the problems from 1 and 2. Plus, the scale of that game is astounding! The systematic genocide and/or enslavement of all sentient life in the universe? The stakes don't get much higher than that. I would probably buy Mass effect all over again if it comes out for the Xbox One.

Sir Edward:

No worries on bringing up old topics. Here we usually prefer that, over starting a new one.

Yeah, it was engaging to a degree unlike anything else I've played. I agonized over choices. I rushed home from work on most days because there was a war going on, and they needed me, and why doesn't anyone else understand that!?!  :)

It was such a rich and vibrant universe, with characters that can make you really care about what happens to them. And I actually miss them... I don't think any other game series has ever done that to me before. :)

Justin:
I know the feeling. It is too easy to get attached to the characters in Mass Effect. Especially Mass Effect 2. The loyalty missions really fleshed out each characters backgrounds. Garrus Vakarian was the man! That is a brother in arms if there ever was one. Tali was also one of my favorites. To go against your entire race to fight for what you believe in. Rock on Tali.
