"Go out there and give them hell. You were born to do this"

"Goodbye Garrus...and if I'm in that bar and you're not, I'll be looking down. I'll always have your back."

Shepard sitting in the rubble: I did it Garrus. The Reapers are dead. I just hope Edi and the Geth are waiting for us in that bar. ???: They're waking up! Shepard: *See's EDI but with skin.* WTF! *falls out of bed Garrus: Knew that would happen. Tali: I told EDI that the Crucible might take out all synthetics just to make sure. EDI: And I informed the Geth of Tali's prediction and they made precautions to protect themselves and me from the crucible. This is still the body you know of but with a layer of almost life like synthetic skin. Adams: But the Normandy is your body. Ken: No that is Edi's body. Gabby: Nope it's both. Jack: Can we focus on the fact that Shepard survived falling into orbit again? Jacob: Wait that's Edi? Vega: Yep. That's Robocop. Edi: But I am fully synthetic not a cyborg Ashley/Kaiden: It's a nickname. Edi: I know that. It makes no sense given the context of the movies Wrex: Probably best to not question it. Hurry up and recover so we can go shoot something Shepard. Grunt: He he he. Liara: Is that all you two think about? Sinmara: Yes. Yes it is. Cortez: I mean they are Krogon Traynor: *quietly* All these legends in one room and I'm one of them now... Asari: The Queen wishes you a swift recovery. Geth Prime: Shepard Commander we wish you a swift recovery. Miranda: I'd appreciate it if you would not crowd my patient Chakwas: Shepard needs rest you can talk to them later Jeff: Yeah besides we all have jobs to do. Vega: Sitting on your ass doesn't count there glass bones Kasumi: Hey Shep. I brought you some flowers. Before you ask no I didn't steal them. *Cloaks* Zaeed: Yeah hurry up and recover. Galaxy needs it's hero to keep kicking ass. Javik: Primatives. Recover quickly and rejoice Commander. You've done what not even my people could. Mass Effect Best Destroy Ending(Maxed out War Assets)

"Forgive the insubordination but your boyfriend has an order for you: come back alive. It'd be an awfully empty galaxy without you."

Did you all really forget the line that comes after this? "We're a team, Garrus. There's no Shepard without Vakarian. So you better remember to duck."

i’m pretty sure you’re captain pike

to broken Eggs, impersonator of the great Sheppard Commander, the bot-AI are here to soon make an Omelette !

My favourite video about my favourite game about my favourite hero. ME:LE is a masterpiece. What a gift. Thank you Bioware. x

Same, and I only played it for the first time with LE...

I cried at Thanes death scene as if I lost a family member

Well I’ll agree with you this much at least. For all of Mass Effect 3’s faults, it has some of the best written, emotional gut punches that I have ever experienced from a video game!

"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong..." 😭

The Quarian mother leaving behind a message for her son and husband to find after the Geth kill her, the excellent voice acting made me cry. She made it feel real.

Get in the vent Jacob! Hooray!

Man was ready to go from day 1 despite running from the fight briefly. Kasumi on the other hand? Coward.

Hackett remarking on how the rachni scuttling about the crucible and simultaneously scaring the shit out of everyone whilst also just improving shit is one of ky favourite offhand remarks in the entire trilogy. It's so small but its such a nice final note when you consider where the rachni were as a species at the start of the trilogy.

But when you initially meet the Rachni Queen in 3, they are being controlled by the Reapers for every player, regardless of your past choice. If they weren't already killed previously, then yes you can free them, wheras the alternative they never remain a reliable war asset and kill Crucible crew. Thank you for watching otherwise!

@@ArTorrPresents Yeah, but then you lose Grunt's forces.

I belive that if you cure the genofage and let free de rachni Queen theres some balance between them and in the galaxy, they are both dangerous badly guided.

Yes but you lose Arlak Company, a company of Krogans of mixed clans, an example for the Krogans as a whole to emulate.

Well, only in the same sense as the Godfather Trilogy: two masterpieces and an also-ran.

​@@solicitr666How is ME2 a masterpiece, and ME3 isn't lmao It's literally the exact same game, just a bit rushed near the end. Arguably even better, because ME2 was basically a side-quest.

@flammifer451 Well, just for one point, ME2 has possibly the greatest endgame in all of videogaming, and ME3's is hideously bad. There are others, but "what's wrong with ME3 would be a whole essay. Suffice it to say that ME3 represented a technical upgrade but a writing downgrade.

@@solicitr666 Eh, the ending in its current state is perfectly passable. And the writing downgrade started with ME2, though (imo) it's still ranging from "decent" to "amazing", with a couple of weird decisions. Narrowing an otherwise solid game to the last ten minutes of the series' all-time low point just isn't right. There are a lot of things "wrong" with ME3, but don't pretend that ME2 was any better. The nonexistent main plot? The post-IFF installation mission, where you play as Joker? The Arrival DLC? The omnipresent mercs? The fucking Firewalker? Come on. The only ME I'd call a "masterpiece" is ME1. It has some of the best storytelling in the whole medium, although the gameplay was, and still is, pretty shitty. Mass Effect is a deeply flawed series, which doesn't make it less awesome. The last entry of the main trilogy came out more than 10 years ago, and we still haven't seen a game as grand and ambitious, as ME was. It is a miracle that it simply exists.

@@flammifer451 The "exact same game?" Oh, no, not at all. Not even remotely.. Mass Effect 3 lost the plot, completely, right from the start. Really from before the start back to Arrival and even the final cutscene of 2 (Walters' only contribution despite his Lead Writer credit). But that part is too often overlooked by all those who think it;';s just really neato-keen to fight the Reapers head-on. Which makes absolutely zero senxszse and craps all over the established lore. But never mind- Dude! A giant thresher took a Reaper down! Way kewl!. Meh. ME2 was quite the opposite of a "side quest." It's only seen that way by those who think the point of the series was to fight the Reapers head-on. Certainly it madkes way more sense then the damn Star Kid and his dumb three-way magic choice! But in addition it had structure and theme. 3 had none. 2 had a meaningful game currency in Loyalty; 3 instead gave us dreary War Assets, gaming-by-accounting - and then used those to impose endless dreary fetch quests (a disease which would really infect Inquisition a couple of years later). ME2 was about parenthood. What was ME3 about, besides the shallow fun of kicking the ass of a previously near-untouchable enemy which had to be demoted several orders of magnitude to allow it? Sorry, I like my Reapers beyond my comprehension, not killable with an M-920 Cain. Tell me, WTF were the Reapers doing in the Milky Way at all? When you realize that question can only be answered by tossing out the established lore, then you'll realize the whole thing makes no sense, not just the ending. So they could just motor into the Milky Way from deep space on FTL without a relay any time they wanted? And could not only do so at the end of Arrival, but then hang out for six months and nobody noticed? ME3 is an assemblage of moments. Some of them are very good, especially Tali's and Mordin's (thank God their writers stuck around). But the parts don't add up, there's no structure, no theme, just "this happened, and then this happened" until you've fetched enough trinkets to start the attack on Cerberus.... oh, yeah, there's THAT entire nonsensical subplot..... So, yeah, some of those moments are amazingly bad, from the crappy Kai Leng and his plot armor, to TIM's amazing villain upgrade.... he had supposedly broken open the piggy bank to fund Lazarus and the Normandy, but now he's running fleets of cruisers??? Obviously Walters didn't ask EDI questions after Joker took the blocks off her..... Sorry. ME3 has fun missions. It has emotional scenes. From a technical and game mechanics standpoint it's a definite upgrade over 2 (I especially appreciate the Reputation mod to the P/R system). But the whole is less than the sum of its parts, and what should be the payoff is a ripoff. But, at least, it did lead to Citadel.

Ruined by the fact it isn't actually the original line. It was 'do these units have Souls?' It's a small change, but flips the context on its head - the Geth never originally viewed themselves as individuals nor wanted to in the tropey Pinnociho style. It changed when they fired the old Legion/Grth writer and gave it to someone else, and the Geth cha get motives and started wanting to be individuals rather than the previous goal of becoming a giant interconnected being, ala a Reaper style mega structure.

​@@Canadish definitely a low point of me3.

​@@Canadishits a shame tbh

I gotta ask what did u think of the quarian geth conflict, who were u siding with or were u anti war as far as retaking the home world?

@@Mr.Unfairpersonally. I sided with the quarians but supported legions individuality. I was disappointed with rewriting the heretics, but understood their self preservation. Quarians deserved their home world but it was the wrong time to do so. So I saved both.

Thank you for your comment and for tuning in to the video 🙂 To be honest, I'm not sure about Dragon Age. I desperately need to finish playing them, but I've enjoyed what I've played of Origins so far. And it might be fun to talk about a fantasy series on here for once :)

Absolutely. And I am always grateful to have yall tune in 😁

I just played the LE trilogy a few weeks ago. Yeah I was surprised to hear about all the furore.

Why does everyone pretend that ME3's ending was the only thing wrong with it? What about the fact that Cerberus occupies 60% of the campaign, despite the fact that the game was advertised as the War-against-the-REAPERS? Or how the ME2 characters that we came to know and love were reduced to mere tokens of what they once were? Or how the strength of your shields are determined by your fitness level rather than by your suit as ME1 established? Or how health and melee strength are separate instead of united like in the first two games? And where are the Abominations, Scions, and Praetorians among the Reaper forces? Shepard forced to feel sorry for an idiotic kid and lose to a joke of a villain space-ninja.

@@rickoshay5525 I honestly hated how Cerberus took up most of the story because they wanted to show Kai Lang, it was also a missed opportunity cause they could've had it where you convince a majority of Cerberus members to join your side I know they do in the game but you have no saying and they automatically join whether or not you played the previously game as they are the default war assets you get in the start of the game. I do agree the whole star kid was a stupid idea, if they wanted to show the kid then they could've had it where you save the kid and the whole point of the game is to stop the Reapers but also take care of the kid and influence him to do right or wrong depending on your choices then at the end he will help you in some way. Probably a stupid idea but its a little better than having him dead and Shepard going into depression mode because of it, its so cliché.

@@justinportillo3996 That also reminds me, about HALF of all the side-missions are simply, "launch probe = completed". I SO WANTED to go groundside to retrieve the sacred texts for the Batarians and launch a rescue mission for their governor. And Shepard getting depressed for the kid makes NO SENSE for Renegade Shepard, and Paragon Shepard should be dreaming of the squad and crew that he has lost in the past, such as Pressley, the Virmire casualty, whoever died on the Collector base; Kelly or Squadmates, AND, the final dream should be about you probably losing your Love-Interest, NOT THE STUPID KID.

Dude. I remember that day like it was yesterday - I am approaching the fucking Harbinger, I am ready to roll, I cant wait to kick this motherfucker ass, my excitement is beyond any possible measure...and then...we all know...I have never been so disappointed in my entire life and I've never bought any EA/BioWare game after this.

@@rickoshay5525 yeah like you never had any some sort of connection with him and they act like you need to care about him

Thank you! I'm glad this has resonated for you 😃

I appreciate your kindness, thank you so much 🙂

And that's a big part about why that DLC works so much I think! Well after we've played the game, nothing matters more to us than that extra time with the friends we fought and bled alongsise with. Thank you for watching!!

@@ArTorrPresents There's a mod out there called the "Citadel Epilogue" by Audemus that moves the Citadel DLC to after the final battle although if you get an ending where Shepard dies, it's a bit of a stretch unless you use a happy ending mod that was made by the same author.

I know. These sponser companies really fuck up a lot.

That would've been amazing. Honestly, we didn't need the star child. Just the last mission being the sum of our effort and a simple pass/fail on beating the reapers would've satisfied everyone.

I never cared that Shephard died. It was just how inconsistent the entire ending was that got to me. But that’s what happens when multiplayer gets shoved into a game that doesn’t need it, then the game gets rushed out to market.

That is always my priority 👍

So glad it was worth the wait and that it captured your feelings on the Trilogy! Thank you for watching 😃

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts and am glad you enjoyed the video :)

Absolutely. I hope yoi enjoyed the video!

Mordin’s death struck me hard, he was such a lovable fleshed out character.

Thank you 🙏

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Thank you Odhrán!! Glad you appreciated the use of those tracks at the end, been trying to incorporate them in a video for sometime :)

Thank you!!

Have fun 😃 and thank you for watching!!

I've never thought about it that way. It's just my go-to format for ending a video. Thank you for your feedback, seriously. Will pay better consideration for that credits segment in the future.

@@ArTorrPresents Thanks man, I truly appreciate your reply and your consideration. This video really speaks to my heart. You are truly an amazing storyteller and speaker. The music, the way you talk, the way you analyse, is powerful. Watching that conclusion, I never felt more alive... that could save a life. I know it certainly inspired me to keep on living. Today was actually my 5th time watching it since discovering it a couple of weeks ago. Thank you Parkes

Those games are sick! Never thought about covering them before. Maybe I'll look into it

Woo!! Glad to hear; thank you for tuning in!

Of course, and thank you for tuning in!

I don't take that lightly. Thank you!

Thank you for watching!! I agree with both fixes. Much more creative way to incorporate James.

Replacing the Star Child with an Avatar of the Reapers would be better.

@@ArTorrPresents Thank ya too, you've been doing great videos. Hope ya enjoy the holidays. Ya earned a vacation.

An Epilogue could only have been a good addition to the game, I don't see that suggestion thrown around as often.

Thank you. 🙂

Cheers, thank you for checking out the videos!!

Thank you for tuning in :)

M83 rules!!

Thank you!!

For reallll. what masterfully written and edited

Thank you thank you 😄
