Indeed.

I was so looking forward to a Trial of the Century-type dealio to start off the final installment, with Shepard defending herself in front of a court martial or at the very least a board of inquiry. Instead, we got a stupid back-and-forth between a "committee" that is conveniently interrupted by the Invasion.

Blecch.

Nah. Who needs the trial we were supposed to get, when instead they can trivialize the whole reaper invasion of earth and turn it into a demo for instructions on combat controls. Because that's what this game is all about right, the combat? lol

Of course I understand the need for player training, and yeah it makes sense to have The Invasion provide that, but they still could've had a proper prologue. Basically it could've been like what the Genesis DLC was for ME2 (PC gamer here), but not in silly comic book form.

I don't know if it was a direct result of the focus on training itself, but the invasion fell flat. Other then that it hits you before the game gets a proper chance to set up, there's still a lot wrong with it. 

Being that this was an alien invasion from the villains of my favourite series, in my real life hometown, I should've been loving it. But as it was happening, I honestly couldn't have cared less. Like I mentioned earlier, I completely got the sense that I had to get the hell out of dodge, but I was wondering why I couldn't care that I was watching what should have been an epic battle in Vancouver.

There's all these Reapers around, carnage is raining down everywhere, and rather than observe this in any proper sense, I'm being taught how to jump, crouch, and shoot. I guess I thought that was a major mistake by the devs forcing that in there.

Though the worst sense of detachment came from the damn vent kid. I felt like it was Bioware yelling at me "Here is a child, feel sad for him now." "Look, he is scared, feel more sad." "He just died, this is the most upsetting thing you have ever witnessed."

They were trying hard to tell me how I was supposed to feel, rather than let it build on it's own. This is not a thing Bioware had a problem with in the past. I didn't feel a thing for the kid at the time, and all those stupid subsequent dream sequences with him did nothing but further frustrate me.

I already replied to this in your message but I will reply here too.

I honestly thought the game was meant to be longer.

If I had to place a guess as to why The Invasion was played out thus (and yes, I think you raise valid points) was because of some misplaced need to try and "wow" us. Remember, this was one of two levels that was used extensively in the pre-release hype (and was in the demo as well), and most likely just fell victim to the old misconception of "Bigger Is Better" or whatever kinds of bad film tropes you want to throw around.

Again, this all falls back to the whole project being led by an immensely-creative guy who didn't have the benefit of someone more grounded in reality to restrain him.

[Oransel]

I agree with you. Everything except the Tuchanka and Rannoch (they were made first when team had resources and time) felt rushed. Especially: no prologue, not good enough beginning, lack of side-quests (replaced by fetch quests), everything after you enter the prothean temple on Thessia. Looks like Bioware had time only to make 2 missions and Normandy/Citadel, while the rest was made ASAP.

Well that's exactly what choice is, and thats exactly how choices should reflect, right?

I'll just have to be contrary then. I enjoyed the opening sequence and wasn't bothered about not having the relationship with James more properly introduced. Should there have been the trail, maybe. But personally I felt connected to the beginning of the game and I understood why they were going through the basic game mechanics. It's one thing for those of us who have played the other games but for someone completely new to the series it's not fair to just throw them in at the deep end. When the Normandy swooped in and picked us up and then left as more Reapers were coming in, combined with the "Leaving Earth" music, I damn near cried.

I think that new players were thrown into the deep end regardless. They know absolutely nothing of what's going on, and the context of these events. And at no point is any of it explained to them. If they were trying truly to get new players into the game, then the trial sequence would have been a neccessity.

All this intro does is tell them how to hold their gun. It sets up the game as if these new people they're trying to get to play the game are only interested in the game as a shooter, and not a story based RPG. And they're probably right about that. But as a long time player of the series, I don't feel that it's ok.

*waves hand* Sh! And don't you dare tell them I'm also a Lich!  Yes I'm a combo of the two most powerful undead creatures ever...

[Atrocity]

I think the most powerful undead creature is English grammar, rules that people like to throw around to be specific. But I'm just twisted that way.
