holy banger
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite OST on the Vidyadel.
How come me2 and me3 managed to have worse soundtrack
>>7322444682 OST was greatdont remember really 3, but dont remember it giving my any bad impressions either
>>732243746For me, its the Vigil theme
Criminal ElementsNoveriaVirmire Ride
>>732248145Noveria has such a perfectly fitting OST
For me, it's Noveriahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX85F85Lg0c
>>7322459302 is kino too. 3, I've never really listened to at all desu, the Mars theme is OK though, and the Citadel embassy theme is literally just noveria slowed down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U9FW0fY0cI
For me, its the music that played during those shitty minigames of planet "exploration", especially in 2. I was autistically min-maxxing them and trying to 100% so ive spend lots of time just listening to that while moving my sticks around a fucking circle, kek
>>732243746SOVL.
>>732244468>>7322459302's soundtrack is epic orchestra Hollywood slop, 3's tries to go back to 1's synth roots. Hell they brought Sam Hulick *back* for 3 after he was gone for 2.https://youtu.be/D6O-2R3FARAhttps://youtu.be/OS8qIyDg4Hshttps://youtu.be/ufYpYdqOc7whttps://youtu.be/geqtLLBKh5chttps://youtu.be/ZQy8dqzV56Ahttps://youtu.be/LGQX6lY7F5shttps://youtu.be/y0bu1qW7JZY?t=73https://youtu.be/xgz1DBAa2J8https://youtu.be/6VHvPi0yBOk?t=89https://youtu.be/Eqk7B72iIUMhttps://youtu.be/yy36CaYBHJo
>>732243746Why is there a Protoss on the cover?
>My name is Commander Shepard, and I’m puttin' together a special team. I need me eight soldiers. Eight Batarian-killer soldiers. We’re gonna be dropped into the Traverse, dressed as civilians, and we’re gonna be doin' one thing and one thing only... killin' Batarians.>The Hegemony ain’t got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a slave-tradin', mass-murderin' maniac and they need to be destroyed. That’s why every son of a gun we find wearin' those four eyes, they’re gonna die.>I’m the first Human Spectre. That means I got the Council behind me, but we're playin' by my rules now. Our battle plan will be that of an N7 resistance. We will be cruel to the Batarians, and through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us. And the Batarian won't be able to help himself but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels, and the edge of our omni-blades. And the Batarian will be sickened by us, and the Batarian will talk about us, and the Batarian will fear us.>Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Batarian scalps. And I want my scalps. And all y'all will git me one hundred Batarian scalps, taken from the heads of one hundred dead Batarians. Or you will die tryin'.
AND I NEEED YOU TO RECOVEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!
>>732250862fuck, they are all so good
>>732244408 Bro I swear that scanner minigame music activated my lizard brain. Just this low, ambient hum while I’m rocking the analog stick like I’m tuning a damn radio-hours melt away. I’d come home from work and suddenly it’s 3AM and I’m still scanning Elcor turf for palladium like some kind of resource crackhead. Absolute peak side content.
>>732244468An End, Once and for All is the best song in the trilogy and the perfect track for a finale. Yeah, the finale it was playing to was hot fried ass, but that had nothing to do with the track.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLxv_g_zQkY&list=RDTLxv_g_zQkY&start_radio=1
>>732243746I like to imagine ashley and /or femshep doing britney spears crazed instagram dances in the post war
I came into this threat to just let you all know how much I hate batarians.
>>732255345Understandable, I too, hate batarians.
>>732255345Based.
Any chance of it being good?
I swear to god that one ME3 Palaven theme sounds like something from Skyrim.
>>732257378I think it pretty much has to be
>>732257378>Andromeda connection>Krogan civil war>Mass Relay shipsHow is that gonna work?
>>732257378With current Bioware? It will be dumpster trash. No chance it will be good.
>>732257494We said the same thing about Veilguard.Also, why are there so many Mass Effect threads all of a sudden?
Unc thread.
>>732243746>VigilStill gives me chills
>>732257378loldare i even say lmao
>>732257378I want it to be good.
>>732243746>>732244408>>732244468>>732247609I mean, I like all three soundtracks for different reasons.I'm not saying it's my favorite, but ME3 had some memorable tunes.>Leaving Earth>I Was Lost Without You>I'm Proud of You>An End Once and For AllI'm just naming a few at the top of my head.
>>732257781Based.
Is it possible in ME2 to complete both Legion's loyalty quest and Tali's loyalty quest (bringing Legion along) while still ensuring the Normandy crew doesn't get turned into goo after the IFF events?
Femshep is for TRANNIES. That is all.
>>732257378
https://youtu.be/nLKQazgi-0Y?si=lBPuZ40zfmmI94Yi
>>732258067I'm not shit posting, doing both is possible with Legion and Tali, but you need to do your crews loyalty missions in a certain order so that you don't fuck up and trigger the Suicide Mission before you do.I did this exact thing like 2 years ago. It's been a hot minute.
>>732258067No, you have to launch the suicide mission immediately after the Legion sidequest if you want to save everyone. Unless you are using that mod that allows you to recruit Legion earlier.Bringing Legion into the flotilla is in fact very lulzy.
>>732257378I'm feeling more positive about it than most of /v/ I think. Not because I think it's guaranteed to be good, but I believe it actually has a chance, which is more than you can say for the last couple of Bioware's games.Main reason is that (from what I've read, correct me if I'm wrong), most of the devs that were responsible for shit like Anthem and Veilguard either got the boot or left due to how miserable working at Bioware was at the time. Now we're left with a bunch of literal whos to maybe save ME and Bioware as a whole. Could they be even shittier devs? Maybe, but they could also be better.
>I actually forgot to save Maelon's researchFUUUUUU
>>732257623https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZoFw9uXJwkDamn right it is.
>>732258387The issue is that firing devs won't fix anything. Because according to the sources, A LOT of rank-and-file devs working on Veilguard knew exactly that the game is an unsalvageable piece if shit, but people in charge kept demanding more and more ridiculous things.And then rank-and-file devs were fired, while the ones making executive decisions that tanked the project remained.
TRD!!!
>>732257585Maybe Bioware knows they are about to make an announcement
>>732258414PC? Just use a save editorhttps://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/20Console? lmao get fucked
>>732257378Any chance of it even coming out!?

>>732258728Didn't get the memes with the Batarians because despite having played the trilogy, I never got around to playing any of the DLC in ME2 until last year.Yeah, I get that they hate Shepard because f the Skyllian Blitz, and...>300, 000 Batarians killed on AratohtOhhh...
>>732257378Only if Shepard survived and the they revive the scrapped dark energy plot as the new threat to the galaxy. Only way it'll be worth a damn.

>>732259264Only 300,000?Gotta pump those numbers up.
>>732259440Probably the best song in ME2. That sad violin is top notch.
I haven't used a CD in 15 years
>>732259440>There, Earth. I wish you could see it like I do, Shepard. It's so... perfect
>>732250468I was working nights when I was first playing through the series and used to get home at 5am, play for a couple hours then pass out on the couch with the galaxy map opened and this looping all morning as I slept. Honestly I miss it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI1DNZ4gcvc
I don't swim in lakes
Comfy...
>>732257585>We said the same thing about Veilguard.Dragon Age, unlike femshep, actually is for tranniesI can't imagine someone with positive testosterone caring about any DA game outside of origins, which was basically just legally distinct BG3 >Also, why are there so many Mass Effect threads all of a sudden?always has been. always will be
>>732259440this always sounded to me like a the intro of a news program on TV
>>732259440best part of 2/3. He was supposed to be an ME1 DLC character too
>>732257378I hope and cope that it is.
>>732258067Yes. The collector abduction event occurs after 2 missions/loyalty missions. The game checks how many missions/loyalty missions you have. If you completed everyone's but Legions, the abductions starts right after you complete his.
>>732260819no, just no.

>>732243746Playing the original trilogy for the first time (LE)Why do the dlcs suck so goddamn much?Just finished the Omeha dlc in 3 and it was just a huge waste of like 2-3 hours. Aria was such a bitch it made me want to side with Cerberus. The only redeeming part was getting to see a female turian but then she just dies in the dumbest possible way.It's not like many of the other dlcs are much better. The only good part of Arrival in 2 is being able to wipe out a system of batarians.
>>732268460Ashley is BASED!!!
>>732270047only good DLCs are shadow broker and citadel. The rest are just cut content
>>732257623It’s not unc anymore, it’s Dunc
>>732270446Bring down the sky was fun.
>>732270047Yeah, Aria is some Bioware writer's pet character. She's such an obnoxious bitch that the game tries to sell as the coolest person on the planet>oh, I am such a badass girlboss, the Asari councillor is my bitchFuck off.Who wrote this character anyway?
>>732270223Citadel was KINO.
>>732243746AND I NEED YOU TO RECOVERCAUSE I CAN'T MAKE IT ON MY OOOOWWNNNN
>>732270625She's voiced by Trinity from The Matrix. Probably played a big part.
>>732270223>>732270964citadel is probably the only bit of fan service I can think of that was done really well and not patheticly cringe. It was self aware and in good humour through and a love letter to the series
>>732258108>maleshep for paragon, tali romance playthrough >femshep for renegade, kaidan romance playthroughperfection
Is it possible to edit an ME2 save file to have everyone dead? I want to do a worst-possible ME3 playthrough where all ME2 characters are killed and I launch the final assault on the Reapers as unprepared as possible.
>>732271937Yeah. Or download a copy or use the genesis interactive novel at the start of the game to simulate your save
>>732243746>Male Shepard>Earthborn>Sole Survivor>VanguardYep, gaming time
>>732271696No. Femshep is SHIT.
Here is your N7 operative.
>>732271453There are plenty of characters with big celebrity names behind them, but none of them was glazed this hard.
>>732272092HARDERBETTERFASTERSTRONGER
>>732272092Wait, is this real? This is literally 100% just a Warlock from Destiny.
>>732272092Why would an elite military group put their badge on fashionable jackets, gloves, pants, shoes, and guns? Why is Bioware so in love with a military organization that had one (sort of two) characters in it across 3 games?
>>732272268It's Andromeda fashion
>>732272092Nobody gives a shit about N7.
>>732271937You have to have at least two companions survive or Shepard dies in the suicide mission.
This is the only good Mass Effect product
>>732272540Yeah but can you just mark everyone dead in the save file when you import it into ME3? Will it treat the save as invalid?
>>732272637I haven't played Mass Effect in like 12 years but at the very least the first thing that comes to mind is I think you could make it Legion and Tali and get a guaranteed Tali death in ME3.
>>732272092It's been over 4 years, hopefully the design iteration has changed in that time
>>732272914I think the worst way to end ME3 is with Zaeed and Morinth. Morinth is almost wholly absent from 3 and Zaeed is barely there as well.
Protip: if you like the ambient synth tracks in the OG ME you might like 70s progressive electronic. Check out the early work by Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Edgar Froese, Jean-Michel Jarre, Bernd Kistenmacher (80s and not 70s but same vibes), etc.
>>732272092Grim...
>>7322606432 was mediocre but not completely terrible. It was a huge downgrade from origins, and clearly a decision to not try and make another cRPG, but it was still ok as a standalone experience.
>>732272637It probably breaks something, but I've never even heard of it being tried.
>>732273190Stellaris has a great OST that has many ME sounding trackshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRtcZxzBrdg&list=PLQOzEU-fKC9kWN2Nif_EQEbhV09rFVG4N&index=4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4iUxdACpMc&list=PLQOzEU-fKC9kWN2Nif_EQEbhV09rFVG4N&index=9https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9imok679pQ&list=PLQOzEU-fKC9kWN2Nif_EQEbhV09rFVG4N&index=17
>>732243746Stop making me want to replay ME1
>>732273729You'll spend 70% of the game time driving around in a Mako.
>>732273729I wont stop you but I'll remind you that it hasn't aged well. A lot of large open spaces with nothing in them. The atmospheric music helps but much of the game is spent walking back and forth those vacant spaces, picking up ammo mods and guns and armor you're never going to use, shooting a few geth/krogan/humans with awkward cover-combat. >bouncing around a barren planet in the mako>oh cool, what's this>you've found yet another one of Matriarch Dilinaga's writings (3 of 16)
>>732273729play on story and enjoy the vibes, that what I do on a ME1 playthrough
>>732273190>>732273652SOVL.
>>732272042Holy based, that's usually my set up. Although sometimes I just go Soldier when I want to just blast through the game.
Choose Mattock.Click heads.
What class would Shepard be canonically? I personally think soldier.
>>732274627Soldier 100% though you can argue that he can be any biotic class post cerberus rebuild in ME2. I usually RP it that way to explain why I can suddenly teleport across the map and shoot people in the face
>>732274627Likely soldier or vanguard, having an engineer storm a hill while spawning combat drones seems silly.Those drones in ME2 are crazy good though considering they instantly capture an enemy's attention.
>>732243746can it be considered the earliest retrowave work? i mean the whole thing sounds like john carpenter and vangelis, uncharted worlds covers some 80s tom cruise movie theme
>>732274307>>732274343On subsequent playthroughs you basically never do the planets, just focus on the story. Speaking of, were the ME1 DLC's even included in that Legendary Edition?
InfiltratorCHADS......where we at?
>>732274772Only the Batarian one. The pinnacle station isn't but it can be modded in on PC
>>732274772If I recall correctly, they did not do Pinnacle Station because they lost the source code or something lol
>>732262245my micro penis trying to reach asari matriarch butthole
>>732274857that dlc is kinda trash
>>732274772this is why me1 became my favorite, once you've done 100%, you can just bee line the story on replays and it's just non stop kino
>>732274912Kek.
Tempted to do a ME1 playthrough but in a way I've never done before. What's the worst class, and route to do the story? I don't think I've ever left Liara til last before so might do that.
>>732243746not all tracks are in the official ostfor instance, one of my favorite tunes - labs 2 - is not there, you can hear it during abandoned ships quests
>entire trilogy of Mass Effect SOVL took less than 5 years to release>already 5 years since ME4 teaser>only now starting productionMan, I hate what happened to game studios.
>>732258897The issue is that Bioware did a bad job introducing him as the two first hours had him being confrontational with your Shepard. I'd wager a decent part of the fanbase never gave him a chance after this, his dudebro design not helping.I personally think he was a good addition to the game, I like having the perspective of a "normal" soldier in a cast of larger-than-life characters. He's what Jacob was intended to be in ME2 but this time it worked.
>>732274857It has literally been restored as a mod.
>>732275101I also feel like if they kept the graphics to around that 2010 generation I'd still be happy.
>>732258897James is based. My homie.

>>732275108i always liked him because he's voiced by freddie prinze jr
My WIFE!!!
>>732274857How can they possibly lose the source code when the game is still out there. I swear its just because devs today are fucking shit.
>>732275289>At some point between the original release and the subsequent release of the PS3 version (and the later Mass Effect Legendary Edition), BioWare's source code archive for the DLC was discovered to be corrupted; the backups of the original developer Demiurge Studios were checked as well and also discovered to be mostly unusable. In an interview Mac Walters from the MELE team described an "emotional rollercoaster", and said that "It would basically take us another full six months just to do this with most of the team we've got. I wish we could do it. Honestly, just because this is meant to be everything that the team ever created, brought together again - all the single-player content. And so, leaving it all on the cutting-room floor, it was heartbreaking."
>>732275287she did it with krogans, batarians, vorcha, and even volusprobably hanars too
>>732275414What!
>>732275414They should have added a Batarian party member.

>>732257378I think it will be.
>>73225737820%
>>732275579I guess EA was really fixated on promoting "gamer girls" for their audiences back in the day. They did the same thing in DA2 with Felicia Day.2010's was this weird transitional period when the vidya companies really tried to sell videogames as this "cool new hobby" and this was one way to do it.

>>732278687Good.
>>732261636TIM is a SHIT antagonist and YOU are a FAGGOT for liking him
>>732250862Came here to call ME2 OST generic orchestra slop, this guy beat me to it The game itself was capeshit.3 has a better soundtrack partially because it reuses 1's a bit
>>732257378We've been having daily threads with the same conclusion that it won't

So much of this thread is clearly one person, holy shit this is extremely mentally ill. What are the mods even doing?
>>732280007>It's kinda fucked up that you destroyed the batarian colony, at least you delayed the reapers.>reapers?
>>732281604Still better than porn threads.
>>732281702No it's not. Mass Effect is the type of thing that's attracting WEG tards, no one that likes video games likes bioware. At least I can jerk off to porn. This is just taking up space.
>>732275101>entire trilogy of Mass Effect SOVL took less than 5 years to releaseNo fucking way. It felt like I was waiting so long for ME3... damn man, time dialation is fucking nutty as a teen/early 20 something
>>732281779Don't mess with us /v/tards we don't even like video games
Mars from ME3 is one of the best tracks in the series. Absolute kino.
>be a teen in 2008>play mass effect 1>get flabbergasted by alien landscapes>learn later that FTL travel is not possiblei will never be a space cowboy
>>732281779Holy schizo, alot of spacefags loved ME. You clearly werent here in its heyday
>>732281934Yup. Four and a half years for the entire trilogy.
>>732281779Retard.
How possible even is it that reapers could actually kill all advanced life? They say the harvesting lasts hundreds of years but surely there's gotta be some holdouts living underground on distant planets.
>>732282014I was here when mass effect released and /v/ treated biodrones like massive lolcows while they desperately tried to shit up the board. It's just like anything else, you have underage newfags who are too poor to get a PC, so they dump crappy movie games on /v/ all day. This has always been the case and ideally the grow up and move away from this slop. Unfortunately some people did not grow and instead became shitposting bronies that spam wojaks and shitty threads on /v/ 20 hours a day. In fact, the number of them has grown large enough that /v/ is rapidly becoming unusable.
>>732282589awwww is the little chuddy mad that people like discussing videogames on his discount version of pol :((((((
Reapers?
>>732282986
>>732283291I wanted to kill this bitch.
>>732282583There are holdouts which is what Ilos is in ME1. They basically control and destroy all tech and isolate systems so even if there are holdouts, they cannot do anything.
>>732281779>taking up space NOOOOO ANOTHER E33 DIED BECAUSE OF THIS
Why not on switch?
>>732282589>I was here when mass effect released and /v/ treated biodrones like massive lolcows while they desperately tried to shit up the board. You werent there lol
IHAVE WONDERED ABOUT YOU
>>732273190Danke, Herr Anonym.
>>732273190Damn, thanks.
>>732257378ugly ass shipthe original trilogy had such good ship designswhat the fuck happened
Reboot from ME1. Keep the characters of ME2, but make the game less of a gears clone. Same gameplay as the first, but more refined/balanced, with the sig abilities and evolving at the end of the tech tree. Get rid of the drone bullshit and put in more exploration like the first, just have more to do and more variety on planets. Either get rid of the suicide mission entirely or keep it but make ig actually mean something. Then have 6 more mass effect games tackling certain parts of the galaxy problems and preventing reaper shoetcuts, investigating on reaper leads to get an edge, etc. Final game has a united front to meet the reapers head on.
>>732284575WHERE WILL YOU BEWHEN THIS IS THROUGH
Remake ME1.
>>732285197Remake ME3 and include the indoctrination theory
>>732285197Remake ME2 and ME3 with more ME1 elements. Fix the ending.
>>732285530QRD?
>>732286357the star child is all in le head and is actually manipulating shep into not picking destroy
bump
>>732243746Still have the best ending song ever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcrDWAuyqtc
>>732287547What genre of rock is that?
>>732243746>holy bangerYOU CAN SEE HIS SCARS BUT YOU KNOW HE'S CLEANOH, DON'T YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?
>>732243746Now that was a game.
>>732287606No idea; I thought it was some sort of pop rock or something. I don't know jack shit of genre, though.
>>732257378lmao
>>732274627Soldier, no contest.
>>732274935Fuck you.
How can anyone defend Quarians? They're pants-on-head retarded.
>>732274627Infiltrator.- Probably not biotic as they barely ever use them in cutscenes- They hack into shit all the time as part of the gameplay - the Normandy itself is about using stealth to strike deep into enemy lines - Regular ass soldier is kinda mundane for an N7 and SpectreCould be Commando specialization I guess.
I have zero expectations but my working assumption is it will be like a 6 or 7/10 game. not bad if you stripped it away from its franchise history but a disappointment in context>>732258387>Main reason is that (from what I've read, correct me if I'm wrong), most of the devs that were responsible for shit like Anthem and Veilguard either got the boot or left due to how miserable working at Bioware was at the time. Now we're left with a bunch of literal whos to maybe save ME and Bioware as a whole. Could they be even shittier devs? Maybe, but they could also be better.slightly more complicated (in a good way) in terms of their dev structureBioware has always been marked by a schism in its development team between the mass effect side and the dragon age side. the dragon age side lost most of its people and the remaining vets like weekes and epler went uber ultra mega woke in the most full retard way imaginable. apparently veilguard was in such a shit state they had to have the mass effect devs come in and finish the game - and if you notice the ending of veilguard has quite a few similarities to ME2s suicide mission.so no I'm not getting my hopes up but I wouldn't assume a new mass effect would be bad simply because the now dead DA side was such a dumpster fire
No matter what, the next ME game won't have Lance Henriksen or Keith David in it.
>>732244468Cinematic brass bullshit. They gave freedom to the guy on 1 to go nuts amd interesting with electronics instead.
>>732274627Vanguard. I feel like biotics helps explain why your such a damn good soldier. >>732282583any population able to avoid reaper detection isn't going to be large enough to actually revive the species.
>>732243746I got you anon. Listen to this soundtrack.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuZoAefVDHMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuZoAefVDHM
>>732274627adept.makes sense to me that Shepard would be a freakishly good biotic
>>732286357lots of things about the ending do not make sense, such as how did anderson get to the citadel before shepard? no one sees or helps the child as he tries to board the ship at the beginning etc. Little things players lateched onto as a cope that there was a secret ending in the game because shepard was indoctrinated throughout the series
>>732288478>our Pinocchios rebelled and kicked us out of our homeworld>no other planet will do, and no one will take us>Immune system goes to shit in 300 years>have to shit in their suits (this is canon)>Start a war mid reaper invasion>Make peace with geth, immediately download geth into their suits to improve immune systems
>>732257378lol, lmao even
>>732289784Damn.

>>732293605What a shitshow.
>>732289784>>732293346>>732293605>>732294034As one of the few people who played Veilguard, you can see where the ME team stepped in. The last act literally feels like the suicide mission from Mass Effect like a direct 1:1 copy.
>>732294085bioware never was that creative in the first place
>>732293605forgot to add the article doesn't delve into weekes and epler wokeing out but that's very easily verifiable through a google searchlike I won't bother trawling for a link but I know weekes stated somewhere that he now felt like he couldn't write about slavery since he was white, and yes this is the guy in charge of writing a story where the main setting was a slaver dominated nation
>>732294197Kek.
>>732244468me3's soundtrack was amazing. i love all the piano tracks.
>>732244468They were pretty good.
>>732271696If you don't fuck Garrus as femshep you're an absolute faggot
>>732284702>what the fuck happenedjews, women and trannies.
>>732258968this has some UT99-2k4 vibes to it.
>>732294085>played veilguarddamn bro, you enjoy CBT too?
>>732244468Debatable but I sell your point.> ME1 = blade runner-esque electronic tracks that fit the space theme perfectly> ME2 = Jack Wall pivoted towards "epic" orchestrations but far too geared towards each of the characters, not very many memorable tracks outside of Suicide Mission, Normandy Reborn, etc.> ME3 = Jack Wall left so a more return to form with the electronic tracks, but largely disjointed due to several different composersThey're all great soundtracks IMO but I can see your point somewhat.
