Ok jokes aside does anyone truly, sincerely from the bottom of their heart want this song in Mass Effect 3
I know I do. It's very tongue in cheek but a good song nonetheless.

Would it be possible for EA/BIOWARE to obtain the rights to use this song? Because it's perfect! I mean it's somewhat obscure and Blue Osyter Cult isn't exactly the rage nowadays. If it's too humorous for the regular ending maybe it could play in the joke ending assuming there is one.

It would be funny. But in no way would it fit. Even over the credits it would still seem odd.

That's why I suggested using it for a joke ending. Tell me you wouldn't crack up laughing

Let's see if Bioware has a sense of humor... if a slightly bad one...

Epic Game + Epic Song = ...

I know what I want to put there but it just wont work! It would so cheesy it would really would. It would sort of downplay that dramatic climax ending were all hoping for.

Still the lyrics make for great art pieces!

They can play it in the background in the bar where kasumi is squatting on the Normandy.

Bioware usually has a good sense of humor (even if it's slightly disturbing), so no.

Playing Don't Fear the Reaper in Mass Effect 3 would be like playing this in The Day After Tomorrow. >>

Edit: What happened to embedded Youtube clips?

IF, AND ONLY IF, they get Jack Wall or Faunts to do a Mass Effectified cover of it (IMHO, that is

)... Just as Bear McCreary BSG'd "All Along the Watchtower"

As much as I'd probably love it, this song would only fit in an ME3 mid-season-intro-recap ala Supernatural... I'll let the rest of ME fandom decide whether that'd be a good thing or not.

- for anyone who just happens to have not seen it by now.
*warning: video may contain mild scenes of talimancing

Oh yeah man I get it because the song has the word Reaper in it and the game has Reapers, therefore it's perfect! Wow what a great idea

:mellow:

Hey, the Blue Öyster Cult is bloody awesome. Of course I'd love to hear that in there.

But then, how many people here even knew who sang it? I love the song, but I also know Bioware's target audience isn't full of people like me. The fact that BÖC got much exposure at all in the last decade was largely to the credit of Christopher Walken and SNL.

So yeah, it'd make my day, hell, my year. Sadly, as this thread itself offers evidence, not everybody would feel the same.

You might be surprised at how many here know, since this insipid request is still made several times a day by people who think they're the first to have such a "clever" idea.

It doesn't fit. If it would be put in anywhere, it'd be as an easter egg of some sort. Songs that deal with the apocalypse or some such things would be more appropriate imo.

Why do people say it doesn't fit? I think that it would fit perfectly. For a 'good' ending, anyway.

In particular, I imagine Shepard on a vacation on some planet with his LI. As the screen slowly zooms out from them, Niftu Cal is shown on-screen and starts talking about how he's a biotic god. Don't Fear the Reaper slowly fades in during his speech and then the screen cuts to black just as the song hits the chorus. The credits roll. Many a hands are clapped.

I second this idea! I love BSG version of that song and it'd be frakin awsome if Bioware did something similar with "Don't Fear the Reaper".

At the very least i could see them using the song in the launch trailer for ME3. Hey, they used that heavy metal song to advertise DA:O so why not?

Any way you look at it, if seasons don't fear the Reaper, nor do the wind, sun, or rain, that does explain the Geth's obsession with weather control.

Edit: . . . Right. I bet that joke's been done.

Meh. "Spectres" was one of BÖC's weaker albums.

I'd rather hear a selection from Explosions In The Sky's The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, myself.

Once again, for the JOKE ENDING or as an easter egg

Maybe even,

Some Guy: Seasons don't fear the reaper, neither should we (As if Bioware doesn't do cheezy dialogue)

Here but now they're gone

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
