I am replaying Mass Effect 2 again, and just before while doing Miranda's loyalty mission, one of these songs played for about five seconds when they were boarding an elevator. Couldn't stop laughing.
Mass Effect. You are alone with your team against millenias old machines with unfathomable motives. The fate of all organic life is at stake...and...and...just fucking elevator music.
I think everyone was a little unfair with their hatred towards the elevators. I think it was an original alternative to boring loading screens (a la Mass Effect 2).
@FlayvorOfEvil Yes I'm imagining it. Shepard gets into elevator and the segment 2 stars to play. Then you see the doors closing from the lab and you see how it explodes but you only hear the music, not the explosion... :D
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as Mass Effect. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
For some reason, I just got this funny image: Shepard and company in the shuttle, flying to the surface of some planet to deal with unknown horrors, countless enemies ready to try their best to kill them. And we have a scene of everybody sitting in the shuttle staring at each other while the elevator music plays.
i love segement 2 especially when it came up in me2 on mirandas mission but then she broke the elevator i wish there was a renegade option to toss her for that stupid bitch doesn't know good elevator music
First time I hated the elevators but after playing me2 and then playing me1 again I absoloutly love them. the dialogue you hear is way better than listening to nothing, it feels like there is no real loading sequence since everythings moving and the elevator music is so catchy. bring back elevators bioware!
@Mihuzaki Gave you a chance to hear your squad input, and sure, there are advertisement kiosks themselves in the second game, but I liked hearing news and advertisements in elevators. It was a good opportunity to enhance the environment. And 'hours' is obviously an exaggeration, but the elevator rides weren't entirely that long anyway. If you were on the Citadel and you hated elevators too much, you were inclined to just fast travel. On other worlds, they weren't that long either.
@qazxsw13, You claim that you loved the elevators, and it made the RPG experience interesting, nothing about the advertisements in game, just the elevators, so at that conclusion, that was my response, the elevator rides wore boring and drawn out, nothing really interesting happened, sometimes one of your squad mates would say something funny, but other then that, it was just an intermission to get a drink or go to the bathroom.
@Mihuzaki I'm a patient person, so they really didn't bother me. The first game has a lot of criticism in various areas, but it's still an ideal game with amusing features. Elevators are an interesting alternative to loading screens. If playing any video games has taught me anything, it's patience. I enjoy small things in video games, even if it's a witty comment from a squad mate during an intermission.
The second one! Ha I laughed so much when I first heard it - such stereotypical eleveator music, but I love it! Wish I had a constantly looping version of that. Wish they played that on real elevators!
@sheogorath19 I beat the game about 6 times then beat mass effect2 about 6 times as well, and recently I started playing mass effect 1 again and realized it was the mass effect theme.
@PlankofWood1 How were able to do that? If there is an article or blog post please send link. I am extremely tech-savy, so you don't have to dumb down how to do it. Thank you.
In reaper terminology "FTL" stands for "Faster than L-evator". It takes them decades to get anywhere, let alone from dark space to the center of the milky-way.
@Apoc2K that funny but not true... they found the citadel but the asari built the houses and so the elevators (your statement suggests that the reapers made elevator music :) can u imagine that?)
@ernstiman Ha! That's what those sluggish space cow'thulus want you to believe! But according to the Wiki, the Asari contacted the Elcor after discovering the the Citadel.
@TempestDust The reapers were actually peaceful, loving beings. But after having lived in dark space in eons with only elevator music to keep them entertained they've gone slightly cuckoo.
@Apoc2K no no, the citadel was discovered by the asari long before humans, but what they BUILT on the citadel such as elevators, music and so on was not by the reapers
