Still, and will always be, one of my favourite games ever. Joker leading the Alliance Fleet in to save the day is the pinnacle of the game for me. Gets me every time.

Am I the only one who was disappointed you never actually get to see the destiny ascension fire that gun?

The work they did on these cutscenes is just amazing. Really amazing work by BioWare.

3:10 Shepard: Sarens locked the elevator. Suite up we are going outside. Tali: Way ahead of you.

Of course the Mako flips.

There is something about ME1’s ending that the other games never matched.

Love how the interior of the destiny ascension and turian cruiser can be seen now, unlike back then, which was very dark

Something interesting I just thought of. For all Saren says "we organics are powered by emotion instead of logic", Sovereign is destroyed because he gets angry and makes a tactical mistake. When he assumes direct control of Saren's corpse, Sovereign is clearly pissed off at Shepard's interference. But by doing that, he gives Shepard and crew the chance to kill the husk, knocking out Sovereign and giving the fleet the chance to finish him off. If Sovereign had just focused on opening the relay, the fleet probably wouldn't have been able to stop him in time, but out of frustration he went to deal with Shepard personally, which lead to his defeat.

The scene at 3:23 is a masterpiece in cinematography. One of the coolest things to experience for the first time and it still wows me today. It really makes you feel the massive scale of the citadel and how disorienting things can be when "up and down" are as artificial as they are in space. Excellent work by the creative team that put it together.

I love how Sovereign slowly becomes visible in the space cloud and then plow it’s way through the Turian fleet like they’re nothing. An absolute bad ass giant space squid.or cuttlefish. 2:13

I wish they had changed Sovereign's laser fire sound effect to bring it more in line with the rest of the Reapers in Mass Effect 3.

The Normandy kill shot should have been recreated in ME3 with Harbinger. What a missed opportunity.

I played it first back in 2008. When I fought Saren, I probably wasn't breathing. When we got him down and Joker jumped in with the fleet behind, I was literally and figuratively crying out loud. And then the final blow that takes Sovereign down after he was seemed almost impenetrable. Unmatched experience that neither 2 nor 3 game could've repteated even though they were more technically advanced. What a game.

Wish they’d changed some of the cutscenes. Having sovereign do the actual reaper laser noise would have been cool.

Ngl I cried tears of joy when watching this for the first time in game

This is one of the games I come back to and run through the trilogy. Playing this game got me through a tough time In my life. I was hooked every since I got me1 in 2008 at Walmart. I never knew what would come from that 15$ game. I knew nothing about it I just started middle school with the weight of a life changing accident in the family. It gave me something to look forward to every time I got home and helped me find my groove back! Thank you to everyone in BW. You made the Mass Effect experience so special and will ALWAYS be a core memory I will carry with me to death.

Favorite moment of shot/soundtrack is sovereign going towards the tower glad to see it's just like the original

I geek every time!!!! The space battles is dope af

I love Andersons speech about uniting to prepare for the reapers and then in Mass Effect 2 its like "yeah actually we've done nothing." Writing took a serious nosedive after this game

Every time. Every time I yell Joker's name when he delivers the killing blow. Absolutely beautiful. BEST PILOT IN THE DAMN ALLIANCE!!!

I forgot how good this gaame was

(Sovereign runs into Turian cruiser or dreadnought.) 2:15 Sovereign: “Get out of my way.”

Just finished this game for my first time! This was the ending I got! This was truly an incredible game! I loved all of the characters, the storytelling, just the whole universe! I only started it 3 days ago and I put in 25 hours! The ending got me a bit emotional. I can't wait to get into the next game!😄

Why is it when this starts, the OST reminds be of Star Wars episode 3? The drums? Whatever they are called they remind me so much of it. God I love how good this looks now

10:37 / 13:02 / 14:05 "It took multiple fleet - and the Destiny Ascencion - to bring Sovereign down. And that was just one Reaper." - Admiral Hackett

Just beat this game. Came here to watch the ending again

16:20 is my highlight of this ending. I usually bring my LI and Garrus on this mission, and somehow Garrus is always in this shot, he looks absolutely perfect with his design in that shot, so much emotions. And I also love that "It's the Alliance, open the comms chanel" scene, both in paragon and in renegade endings it's probably one of the most powerful scenes in entire trilogy

0:38 Blue Jennifer Hale and Dark Blue Jennifer Hale asking human Jennifer Hale to help.

9:46 this makes being human feel patriotic

I’ve actually never fought him at the end I always talk him into taking himself out.

0:55 what a badass

13:21 - Virgin Human Commander vs Chadmiral Hackett.

I love how the fixed alliance ship firing vfx for the end part, where those ships now firing thier spinal mass driver like they supposed to. But they still left the one in arrival bit where a ship conjured 2 blast of energy type weapon out of nothing, coming drom it's underside.

I understand it's not necessarily the best tactical choice but I fucking love the "Save the Council" cutscene.

The remaster just made an already cool scene even cooler

Anderson becoming the most powerful and important human in entire galaxy. He could not stop thinking about something like this: "Can't wait to tell my ex-wife, who wanted a divorce, about this."

1:14 Shepard: I’m back bitches

3:23 to 3:34 is such a standout moment for me, looking down at the centre of the Citadel. To think I missed the first entry for so long.

Always getting chill whenever Destiny Ascension showed up. Love the design of that asari's dreadnought.

Tip for people that have the game crash at the final boss. Go to option and turn FPS to 60 or below. Higher than this and your game will keep crashing like mine did.

Graphics on these games today are unreal

9:46 13:02 14:06 Now we watch this battle in 4K Joker: Ascension, do you read? On your left!

I cried when i played this, such amazing scenes

I just finished legendary ME 1, quick question to everyone, are the geth soldiers spawning in the final fight a new thing in the legendary edition? Because I don't remember, there being geth soldiers in the final fight in the old ME

Am I the only one whose companions disappeared? As soon as the final fight with Saren started Kaiden and Wrex just disappeared from my screen. I had fight solo the entire time. Not awful, just slow! They were completely missing from the scene in the wreckage too. Just the blonde guy helping the air walk out since there weren't any characters there. I was so sad! Glad I got to see the scene with Kaiden here at least! No way was I redoing that fight. I played on hardcore and Saren's stupid shield took forever to break like 17 times.

I just finished the first game (legendary edition) in 13,5 hours, i expected much more longer game, but still good.

Together with fallout, system shock, vampire bloodlines and planescape torment... What a game!

together with fallout, system shock, vampire bloodlines and planescape torment... What a game!

Ha ha I love this clip; Hannah Barron goes Reaper noodling. I watched this while listening to M4, Pt II by Faunts (end credits song). Perfecto!

I really Love this game!

The Asari are clearly one of the weak points of the overall amazing Mass Effect story. They're supposed to be the wise ancient alien race that set the standard for all galactic civilization, keeping peace through their enlightenment and maintaining order with their supernatural powers, yet they all look and sound like a bunch of college student girls on spring break. Imagine having them look more awesome, by having a constant distortion effect over their bodies which lenses into a soft-focus illusion of beauty whenever they're being suggestive, and then instantly solidifies into an energy barrier if they're attacked. Imagine how much more impact it would be to hear the terror in the voices of the Destiny Ascension commanders, if they had a voice modulation on that made them sound as alien and perfectly-composed as the Vorlons of Babylon 5. Or at the very least, the Minbari, who were much closer to human, yet still had that "wise ancient race" energy even when they were shouting orders in the middle of a battle. As is, it's just impossible to take them seriously; in otherwise excellent scenes, I have to just try and ignore these blue Barbie dolls with little pixy voices trying to make the situation sound deadly dangerous, by hammily overacting like an 8-year-old in a school play production of Macbeth where they actually use Nerf weapons for the duel and murder scenes.

Holy hell I've never seen Tali be the one to go up to Saren and be the one to canoe his skull out, she scary

I just finished the game, i wish i have time for finished the game over and over to see all options

Hit it with everything we e got

Sovereign was never flying that fast

13:13 - Mad cruiser ramming Sovereign.

Ngl I prefer the ending where Saren shoots himself.

I hope they eventually fix the music sounding all compressed and grainy and shitty like that towards the end.

Very emotional ending....valor always makes me emotional, fictional or not

🎶19:50🎶 gives me chills.... 😖🥶... 🤩😎

The citadel is a awe inspiration piece of technology. When we consider it's co partner or similar we consider the Dyson sphere I wonder what this recent discovery in our own galaxy is a large cigar shaped object. Could it be a random massive rougue astroid or a abandoned aincient structure. Amazingly the space around it is empty so could a old civilization of built it from planets in that once full region?

That,s good quote on this vid "United we stand, Divided we fall"

LoL every time i let the council to die

Slowly moving and point blank range with a reaper...WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG...

This won't happen if the council listens to shepard lmao

Gods. They just don’t make games like this anymore.

Can anyone help me? i dont know why but once i beat saren transformed mid movie it gets me into infinite loading and doesnt go to next scene to talk to council

I wonder why Saren shoots those two Keepers. One last bit of anger against his puppet master?

1:34 LOL!

What's the face code for this Shepard? I'm thinking of doing a playthrough with it

In my first playthrough, I made Saren commit suicide and I was like "That worked?!"

oh Kaidan why are you painting your armor like that?

So do you need to do certain quests and things before this battle for the alliance to show up? like what is honestly heavily determined by what you do in this game? or isn’t it as heavily determined as it’s sequels?

Is that meant to be Officer Bailey at the end rescuing your crew?

Is the Saren fight a little different or is it just me?

Is there a post game or not. For example like 2, 3 and andromeda? Or you must complete all quests before ending

3:00 or so in. Shepard in the elevator. Is it me or did this femshap get bad lip job done before the mission?

What have you done with Shepard's lips? It seems like you used too much botox, she can barely move it :P

How do I get str8 to the last mission the 1st mass effect is kinda stiff so I just played to learn background before goin to 2-3

I actually never saved the Council XD

Anyone else watching this because your high IQ brain didnt think of taking the Mako on Ilos? Yeah same

Is it me or mouth animation of Shepard is worse than in the original?

The worlds most unreasonably hard game that shouldn’t be on the market for being so hard to play on the easy difficulty I get so frustrated with this mission I quit it and play another I find no use in playing it

i feel like im the only one that picked male shep

Destiny what ? Humanity First

Your game didn't crash during final battle? Lucky you

10:00

DAKOTA27

Different Voice Actors? Tali's voice sounds off a little

3:10 Modern Bioware crew managed to make ME1 facial animations look even worse than the original! lol Not surprised... These are the same people who developed Andromeda..

I came here for 16:36

you need to play cod mw3 remastered and korean war when it release

I feel like the improvement is very slight lol, just played the original trilogy two months ago and the graphics still very much look like this.

While sovereigns reflection and lighting is better. I absolutely loathe the changing in lightning. The originals darkness when it comes in was grim and moody in the right way. This just makes it too damn bright.

Meh I liked the OG more

All the videos I see " Female sheppard " I quit, I can't picture another Shepard than the " Customized " Face from mark van der loo. It doesn't exist another one.

Why are all these guys playing as fem shep? Just seems really weird to me

low quality animations like it's been made in rockstar editor

Don't want to reward EA/Bioware for censoring Mass Effect. So dissappointed.
