"It had to be done." In Citadel DLC I had his recordings on datapad, after waking up with Tali. Couldn't listen to it. It's Mordi or future of the Krogans.
The ending would be better if they showed all these, no matter what. Like Shepard thinking of all his friends and why is he/she making the ultimate sacrifice
Nah that's making too much sense for EA. If anything they would make it to where you need to buy microtransactions for each character to see a flashback of them. Starting at 5.99 per flashback 🤦🏿♂️
@@Anthony-yo4xc "Actually you have to do a lot of things to obtain that" I call that playing the game. It's rpg, so it's rather obvious there should be a lot of things to do, see etc.What's the point of skipping the story?
Still, no flashback with Zaeed in ME3. He's my favorite character in the games, and sadly has not a lot of content to display compared to the others. Even named my cat after him since I got him a few weeks after Robin Sachs' death. I shall remember him.
@@tyrayentali7041 Shepard with low EMS destro ending (killing / destroying a lot of things and people in the galaxy) remembering all his worst dick moves, then making the ultimate one by ending almost the whole galaxy and himself.
These are all the people he fought so strongly to protect. They were everything to him. He died for them. And when you have someone like Tali, Garrus, Liara, EDI, Joker, and many others to die for... dying to save them isn't so bad after all. Also, am I the only one who thinks that all of these people's flashbacks should've been there, not just two or three random people? It would make everything so much sadder and more dramatic.
Some may disagree but I believe the Illusive man belongs here too. He may have been a reaper tool in his last appearance but in ME2 I did coincided him a friend and most blue conversation options in me3 with him have Shep trying to get him back to the good side.
anbucaptain3 I saw him as someone with good intentions who was obviously lost... I never saw him as a villain. Even in the end I tried to convince him to help me
I became sad when I seen Kasumi. I remember before going to the conduit I had talked to her over hologram, she said something about taking her out for drinks and that makes me more sad because I wanted her to be my Shepards romance.
I stayed up late last night to finish this game for the first time. I spent the last 4 years playing this series. I cannot believe how hard it hit me when it was all over. I watch this video and I can feel my eyes burning. I do not want it to be over. The scene where Liara ( Shepard's true love) puts Shepard's name on the memorial wall and then hugs EDI. EDI then says, "Because of him. I am alive, and I am not alone." ..whew...
Ashley. Kaidan. Joker. Anderson. Liara. Garrus. Tali. EDI. James. Steve. Traynor. Javik. Grunt. Jacob. Miranda. Jack. Samara. Mordin. Legion. Thane. Wrex. Eve. Kasumi. Zaeed. Kelly. They are all thankful that Shepard gave his/her life for them and that tears my heart 🥲
I have only played ME recently (with EC), and wow, what a masterpiece of gaming right there, when I decided to blow the reapers to hell and started seeing the flashbacks... man first anderson, I was like "Oh no", then Thane "No hold back the tears" lastly my LI Tali, I was like fuck it let the tears go, then I saw shepard live and was overwhelmed with happiness, knowing him and Tali would be together on Rannoch :')
Yeah, but you also killed EDI and all the Geth(If you saved them before like I did, that is), which means killing of an entire race that just recently got intelligence and consciousness, every unit was able to think for itself. You made Legion's sacrifice be in vain. Think about it, is it worth killing those who have fought by your side in the last battle, and also killing EDI, who is like the best friend of entire Normandy's crew, just for the sake of one man's happiness? Sometimes, heroes just have to sacrifice themselves to save others. But leaving Tali to never return was really sad. ''I have a home... Come back to me.''
+Lonely Warrior But EDI and the geth can probably be reactivated later. Personally, I think that while the control ending is the "best ending" in terms of peace in the galaxy, its too risky and could be corrupted. Imagine if someone like the Illusive Man managed to somehow corrupt or take control of the Shepard AI and restart the Reaper War. As for synthesis, its the most logical one to go for, but emotionally its kinda evil cause you 're forcing every life form in the galaxy to lose their identity and become some weird organic-robot hybrid things. So really, the destroy ending is the best one in my opinion xD
I always like to imagined Tali being drunk when Shepard goes to meet her and her thinking it's an illusion. Only to her surprise she wakes up with Shepard right beside her
this was a beautiful scene and the creativity of adding a flashback of the crew as sheppard walks down the path was amazaing and made it so much more emotional and a sad moment. bravo well done I still have tears
Damn.. such amazing characters. Biwoare really deserve all the credit they can get for all these unforgettable #-dimensional characters I have had the pleasure of going through all three games with.
it was SUCH an honour and a privilege to have been your brother in arms, to have fought and die for you guys... i will FOREVER MISS YOU! (post game depression)
When i first saw these flashbacks when i first finished the game i was choking up :'( combined with the music it really gets to you. Ashley's, Edi's and Anderson's got me the most :(
The best way to get other the Mass Effect Blues, Play 1 through 3....Then play it over again....Then again...Only to realize The Mass Effect Blues is Terminal. Such a great game series.
7 years onward and I still never hated ME3’s ending as much as everyone else did. While it certainly wasn’t the send off we wanted I believe BioWare did a decent job with the extended cut to at least attempt to make things better. Although I still hate the “PICK A COLOR BUT ITS BASICALLY THE SAME LOL” endings, everything else was done relatively well and to this day the ending still gets me.
Well the extended endings do make ah better impacted infact if this was the original ending with en epic boss fight on elusiv man with new turns and twists from that yeah endings on m1 versjon where mutch more impacted As fuck
First game that ever made me cry and it probably will be the last. The Mass Effect series broke boundaries and evolved into pure art. Best video games series I have ever played.
Ashley, Kaidan, Joker, Anderson, Liara, Garrus, Tali, EDI, James, Cortez, Traynor, Javik, Grunt, Jacob, Miranda, Jack, Samara, Mordin, Legion, Thane, Wrex, Bakara, Kasumi, Zaeed, and Kelly You were all brave and courageous in your own ways, it’s been an honor to serve, live, and fight beside each and everyone of you and I couldn’t be more proud of you all. Thank you for everything we’ve done together. This is Commander Shepard, commanding officer of the SSV Normandy SR-2 signing off
Only flashbacks I got were of Kaidan (Virmire), Mordin (Sacrificed himself for greater good), Thane (Old, ill and sacrificed himself for greater good) and Legion (Sacrificed itself for greater good). This, this is dedication to protect all the characters
Damn..... watchin' these, kinda hurts. Edit: I saw another comment say the ending should show all of these, I've never agreed with anything more in my life. A full montage of all these flashbacks at the end of a playthrough, would F*CK ME UP!
Even though it was just a "video game" they say. Love, liked, moved on, or still hate on with the endings, no matter what those 100+ hours we played in ME1 to ME3, made us laugh and emotions. We will never forgot the journey that bought us into this. The characters which to be honest doesn't even felt like characters, they all felt like if they were all right there with you in person. Sometime we wished the story never ended and it goes on and just for that.. It's been a hell of a ride...
This is just perfect.... Seeing Garrus everytime hurts since I always romance him. I never thought I could be so attached to a character. 0:16 And I love Grunts little smirk 🤣 0:38
I have played ME series, I don't know how many times. But every time I look these scenes, I feel like I'm saying goodbye and loosing real life friends. Always makes me sad. Didn't know that game can do that.
The ones I saw in my playthrough-flashbacks were: Anderson, Legion, Thane, Mordin and Kaidan because he was my Msheps romance.. Why the heck didn't I get Ashley? I mean, I didn't really like her, but she died a heroine on Virmire anyway!
I broke down when I saw Garrus. Him looking all happy and proud, ordering Shepard to come back alive to have a future together, but I didn't come back :*(
My god. I thought it was bad with the minimum death with just Mordin, Kaidan, Legion, and the final N7 helmet. This? I had been laughing just five minutes ago, but broke down crying on seeing Garrus. Holy crap the feels here.
I got Anderson, Thane and Garrus :( Anderson always shows and didn't romance anyone, so my bro Garrus of course showed up I chose control ending so i also got the flashbacks of Mordin, Legion and Shepard
What gets me is Mordin's Nod.
Almost as if he's saying
"I'm proud of you, Shepard"
GXM Productions
more like "Someone else would've gotten it wrong."
"It had to be done." In Citadel DLC I had his recordings on datapad, after waking up with Tali. Couldn't listen to it. It's Mordi or future of the Krogans.
Also in the dream sequences when he says "good to have you here" oof it hurts me feels
Also Legion Says Shepherd commander
Does this unit have a soul ?
Legit lost it the first time I beat the trilogy and I got this flashback😢
The ending would be better if they showed all these, no matter what. Like Shepard thinking of all his friends and why is he/she making the ultimate sacrifice

Hades Eye Actually you have to do a lot of things to obtain that, so it’s obvious that the 90% of players had the ending where Shep dies

@@Mewiel Agreed, he was very underdeveloped. Only a little better than Diana.
What I love about Javik's flashback is how you see the slightest twitch of a smile on his face.
I think there should be a flashback of every desicion you made in the whole trilogy. Like when Shepards' life flashes before his eyes...
Would be awkward if you made a full renegade run and you mostly see all the bad stuff you have done or maybe they have turned into regrets by then.
@@tyrayentali7041 Shepard with low EMS destro ending (killing / destroying a lot of things and people in the galaxy) remembering all his worst dick moves, then making the ultimate one by ending almost the whole galaxy and himself.
Javik just mugging the camera like "Ugh. In my cycle we did not require flashbacks when facing death."
He already had a horror flashbacks in that Echo Shard ☹️
I got flashback of Anderson, Thane and Liara who I romanced. Then during Hackett's speech (destroy ending) i got flashback of EDI, Legion and Mordin.
These are all the people he fought so strongly to protect. They were everything to him. He died for them. And when you have someone like Tali, Garrus, Liara, EDI, Joker, and many others to die for... dying to save them isn't so bad after all.
Also, am I the only one who thinks that all of these people's flashbacks should've been there, not just two or three random people? It would make everything so much sadder and more dramatic.
I agree sort of a final goodbye to the characters we loved so much.
Right on....
Well said
And it ends with the last one being your Love Interest
What sacrifice? If you pick destroy Shepard lives. You can see him taking a breath and it was officially confirmed by BioWare.
Yes, would have been way better. It doesn't make sense that someone like Garrus, Liara, Kaidan or Wrex would be left out of his final thoughts.

Yo true

Same. Wasted potential. They could do: ask her to destroy graybox - romance. Let her keep it - no romance.
Garrus and Tali
Lmao I love how Javik just stares at you emotionless.
Pixelated Dreams For some reason I don't feel like he's emotionless in that flashback. To me, he just looks really sad.
@@vero-kd8vg Tired. Yavik is tired
An end, once and for all. Goodbye mass effect. You filled my childhood with such a wonderful memories. Shepard signing out.

Except EDI and Javik.

Ashley. Kaidan. Joker. Anderson. Liara. Garrus. Tali. EDI. James. Steve. Traynor. Javik. Grunt. Jacob. Miranda. Jack. Samara. Mordin. Legion. Thane. Wrex. Eve. Kasumi. Zaeed. Kelly. They are all thankful that Shepard gave his/her life for them and that tears my heart 🥲
