I thought it was an awesome idea. It really gave me the same feeling I got the first time I was making a mad dash in the Mako to the Conduit.

It was ruined by the ending.

*LI dead on the ground* "FFFFUUUUUUU"...
1 min later:
*starts moving towards beam*
"Move faster"
*tries sprint*
"argh..."

I was on the edge of my seat yelling "YOU CANT AIM FOR **** HARBY" and then he got my square in the chest.

Thought I had failed the mission then I got up... then I got into the citadel. It was still epic. Then I... well you know the rest.

We should have been able to talk to Harbinger at some point in the game, considering that he is more or less the leader of the reapers (and screw the Catalyst).

Tali and garrus were behind me as I made the run, when I randomly got to the beam with no one left behind me I was worried as **** about tali- then after the ending she just randomly gets out of the ship? wth...

When Harbinger landed, my heart started beating really fast. I kept repeating to no one in particular "oh crap, oh crap, oh crap." (Perhaps a little more colorfully than that...)

I was literally on the edge of my seat.  Sort of reminiscent of Joker in ME2, I guess.

All the while, I had this sick feeling in my stomach because I just knew that this mad dash was an act of desperation--a last ditch effort to make it to the conduit. I could tell something bad was coming...and oh man, did it ever. Initially, I thought I'd derped when Shepard was struck (I'd been dodging ALL THE BEAMS, so the natural conclusion was, lolastrophyzcsyoujustranintooneyrusobad), but when my she came to, I was stunned. I maaaaybe sort of broke into tears at that point. It was hard to see her like that: battered, bruised, covered in blood, and just plain broken. My next thought was: where is my squad? Did they die, too? 

The realization that I didn't know, or that I couldn't tell, hit me with a powerful wave of grief. (You can have your squad die, but only in the worst ending possible--so this next part makes me feel kinda silly--I was well over what I needed for the "good" ending). I mistook an Asari corpse as being Liara, and at this point really became inconsolable. I was unable to locate anyone resembling Garrus, and had to concentrate on the husks launching themselves at me. Simultaneous to these events, I was literally sobbing in real life.

After capping the Marauder in its ass, I entered the crucible. Cue the pretty damn good stuff (the confrontation with TIM; Shepard & Anderson's goodbye, watching Earth from the Citadel). I was all right with all of this until I ascended to space heaven. Then it was just rage and horrible, gut-wrenching depression.

Never saw my squad the entire time I ran and I never looked back... So idk what you are talking about there with your LI in your squad.

I loved the scene too.  It really made you feel like a hero, and it helped you feel not so alone seeing all those other soldiers trying so hard to get there too.  I was expecting that pace to keep up right until the war was ended and the resolution began.  We were living up to Garrus' order to us, to do what we were born to do, like the galactic hero we molded Shepard into. 

After the beam hit and Shepard got back up, something just didn't feel right to me.  It felt like a different game.  It is hard to have a feeling of heroic sacrifice when the hero is little more than a burnt and bleeding corpse still standing, it just, loses a lot of the impact.  Seeing him emerge from the rubble battered and bruised but still with his armor intact would have, in my opinion, added so much more punch to the following scenes.  He would have done more than just survived Harbinger, he would have defied Harbinger.  I think the defeatism we witness with Shepards interaction with the Catylist-child began at the beam impact.

No matter how stressed, how tired, how beaten and battered my Shepard was, after going through everything he did the past three years, the fire we saw in him during that final charge would not/should not have died when the beam hit near him.  He'd survived too much to let that bring him so low.

I fully agree. I spent the last two games making a Sheppard who will stop at nothing to save everyone and everything from the reapers. She would have gotten her ass up, sprinted to the beam, killed TIM, then told the damn Crucible kid to f**k his reapers and watch the galactic fleet blow them out of the sky. The Deus Ex ending ruined it. Whats the point of getting all the fleets if you dont even need them?

I think his physical condition is independent of his exchange with the Catalyst, that was just bad writing. I personally think him being completely torn to bits and burnt was actually a very good and powerful thing in terms of impact: I felt it gave it MORE impact. He was on death's door and he STILL got to hit feet, still fought off husks and still made it even though he was completely ****ed.

The charge was one of the best moments I've ever had in this decade of video game history.

I loved limping into the beam and down the corridor. I loved the bit with TIM. I loved the 'best seats in the house' with Anderson. JHale was absolutely amazing at portraying my wounded Shepard.

I kinda bought the crucible choices. But the Normandy getting knocked out of FTL with my crew on it was a plot hole the size of the citadel and I got really upset.

So in my case, it was the last 3 minutes destroying 90 hours of Mass Effect.

When I first saw we were just running I was like
"F*** YEAH LET"S DO THIS! LEEERROOOOY JEEEEENNNNNNKINNNNS!"
Then I got hit by the laser and was like "Awwww I was almost there... Well let's try that again."
...Then I saw Shepard get up.... "Oh no..."
At that moment my heart sunk as I knew that something very bad was going to happen...

Yeah, I like the sequence.

So much so that, I wish, when I see the "destroy reaper" ending with that last bit that show Shepard is alive in some ruins, that he was just knock out by the reaper beam and he is still in London and I got to get another go for the beam :D

Thought the sprint bit was cool... Then Harbinger gets me and I think "Damn, what the hell?! I failed?".

And well, things take a turn for the weird after that

It was great ignoring the part where Tali and Garrus are mindlessly slaughtered and never seen again.
No seriously, even when I got to the endings I was still upset about that.

I loved the tragic awesomeness that was this final charge. Garrus was gone, Javik was gone, I looked behind me and only saw rubble and bodies. Their bodies were nowhere to be seen but they were almost certainly dead. In epic fashion you drag your broken body into the beam and into the arms of horror unimaginable and work your way through the bowels of hell to your ultimate goal.... and then at the height of it all... space-magic...

Its everything that happens after that where the entire franchise stuffs a shotgun in its mouth.


Exactly. I was like

"This is it!"  

"This is it!  Galaxy depends on this!  Charge through No Man's Land! HUZZAHH!!!"

ten minutes later

"Well that sucked..."

I like it so intense moment, and I wanted to reach the beam and kick harbinger's butt, but no... instead the crappy ending. Except for the talk to anderson who makes me cry

Initial thoughts... I'm going to make it, I'm going to make it, I'm going to make it and blow these 'Reapers' up. Aaaaand, now I have to try again. Oh, I'm alive. the WTF started about five minutes later
