I find this place so disturbing. The first time I heard about Sanctuary, I had my suspicions, but learning about what was happening there as you go through it, and poor Miranda going by herself... >.>
lol...not even a handful. He only did two, and one of them was a collaboration with Sam Hulick. Since this track is like a super extended version of "Aralakh Company," it had to have been composed by the same people: Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan.
I'd hardly call the use of one horn a mix of inception seeing how you only made the connection due to the horn being half of Inception's soundtrack, it was a single note
When i heard this track i could tell Clint Mansell was influenced by Delerium and John Carpenter. Delerium - Spheres I - Dark Matter John Carpenter - Big Trouble Little China - Abduction At Airport
The entire third part of ME3 beginning with Thessia was a poorly written patch to band aid an unfinished story. But this mission ... This was creepy and disturbing but it stood out because of its creepiness. One disturbingly well written mission among what was otherwise a half assed snow job.
Total bollocks. The fall of thessia was brilliant, commander Shepard defeated by Kai Leng and the reapers destroying the resistance of thessia. The most advanced world in the galaxy in ruins. It created such a fat impact when you saw Shepard drained before answering the call the council knowing he doesn’t have the catalyst, knowing he could lose the war because of that fight. Thessia was a massive part of the game.
The Unknown bull crap! Thesis and the “shocking” defeat to Kai Leng have so many plot holes, inconsistencies and goofs! First, this whole concept of the asari having the complete solution to the entire Reaper problem all along, but them informing you about it only after the Rannoch story arc is complete, boggles the mind. Why Rannoch? Why not say right after the defeat of Sovereign, the Arrival relay explosion, the appearance of Reapers everywhere, or even the Citadel coup after which the asari councilor is scared shitless into giving you two fleets (including their dreadnought fleet) but nothing on their beacon until later? And don’t give me that whole “the matriarchs are worried” shtick! Were they not worried when Illium was attacked? Were they totally fine with the Nimbus cluster and Silean Nebula falling? The second stupid plot hole was the asari having the answer all along! Why did we spend all that time building a turian krogan Alliance (while carefully mollifying the salarians too) when it was the asari who had the entire answer all along? Why bother involving ourselves in the Geth quarian conflict and resolving it, if it was the asari all along who had the complete solution? Why bother with the rachni? Or retaking Omega for Aria? Or finding the Leviathans? If the freakin’ asari had the solution all along? We know after Thessia that the asari didn’t just stumble onto the beacon recently, they’ve been data mining it all this while! Was there any build up? Foreshadowing? Exposition? None! Did certain asari scientists get “disappeared” or mysteriously clam up? Were actual attempts made on Liara’s life, instead of Aethyta just bringing up the possibility and then dismissing it entirely? None! No indication whatsoever that the asari had this deep dark secret they want to keep hidden at all costs! This tells me that the whole Thessia beacon plot was a withdrawal from somebody’s rectum instead of it being a planned storyline. Now, for the defeat at the hands of Kai Leng. Shepard is powerless against a single Mantis gunship firing its machine gun and rockets, but could shoot down three such gunships in Mass Effect 2? Give me a freaking break! The gunship destroys the temple’s primary load bearing structure with two anti personnel rockets! What did they build that temple out of? Paper maiche? And since when did destroying a building’s load bearing structure cause the floor to sink and collapse? Instead of just the roof caving in? And how shocking was the defeat actually? So shocking that Shepard needed to fundamentally change tactics and strategy? No! So shocking that Shepard has to unravel a lot of clues, lean on any asari contacts still willing to talk, interrogate the asari councilor even? No! It was so “shocking” that just one more primary mission later, you have all you need to not only recover the beacon but also defeat Cerberus for good! On the contrast, Horizon had a whole lot of lead up to it. Cerberus’s husk experiment on Chasca in ME1 from samples they obtained from ExoGeni at Trebin in ME1 (the mine full of husks). Brute force trial and error experimentation and callousness to loss of life alluded to by Miranda about her father in her Loyalty mission. TIM’s chilling remark about using dental records to not just identify their researchers aboard the derelict Reaper, but to also use it as a way to study the husk conversion process. The Cerberus lab on Sanctum. Multiple people warning that Sanctuary can’t be as secure as everyone thinks. Miranda looking for Oriana or Oriana herself sending a cryptic message. The experiments talked about by Jacob’s scientist refugees. The Adjutant experiments on Omega. Even the necessary conditions to save Miranda’s life going all the way back to ME2. Horizon and Sanctuary was a better conceived plot than Thessia.
TBH the level design was very disappointing in contrast with Thessia which was splendid, and although the premise was interesting its potential was wasted, as it ended up being just one fight after another. they really didn't put much effort into this one. The music was good though.
Love this track. Creepy as hell. The whole mission was disturbing and creepy. Henry Lawson was one sick bastard.
watchinginaz Indeed. _Very_ creepy, not unlike the mission.
+watchinginaz доктору Лоусону, как и всем гениальным учёным, чужды вопросы этики.
таковы реалии.
5:07-6:04 My favorite part!
(Shivers) Banshees are a great enemy but damn are they bad to look at!
Squadmeber has flatlined!!
4:39 Shuttle inbound! Rendezvous for extraction!
This and the Asari side mission with the Ardat Yakshi were scary as shit. Mainly because of the atmosphere created by the muisc.
That piano at the beginning reminds of "Lux Aeterna."
I find this place so disturbing. The first time I heard about Sanctuary, I had my suspicions, but learning about what was happening there as you go through it, and poor Miranda going by herself... >.>
i dont know why but both missions on horizon scare the shit out of me (the ones in mass effect 2 and 3)
0:02-0:23 & 1:54-2:16 give me similar vibes to "Authorization; Olivia Pierce" from Doom 2016.
The only time the reapers attacked Cerberus, they actually feared that they would find a solution in controlling them.
Came here after hearing the Death Stranding trailer music. Instantly brought this track to mind.
lol...not even a handful. He only did two, and one of them was a collaboration with Sam Hulick.

Pretty sure this isn't one of Clint Mansell's pieces. He only did a handful of tracks for ME3. I believe the credit on this one goes to Sam Hulick.
Just realized the beginning of this has the 4 notes that have always been linked with death, Dies Irae
0:03 and 1:54 specifically
How is this not part of the purchasable ost?
I hate this mission for only 1 reason: Banshees - not much room to run, everything was so cluttered.
3:40 I hear a slight mix of Inception in this track, all the better.
I'd hardly call the use of one horn a mix of inception seeing how you only made the connection due to the horn being half of Inception's soundtrack, it was a single note
Lol poor Banshee Barriers

Delerium - Spheres I - Dark Matter
John Carpenter - Big Trouble Little China - Abduction At Airport
The only problem with this track is how often it plays...

Shut the fuck up idiot
