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.

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.

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 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.

"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...

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

No seriously, even when I got to the endings I was still upset about that.

The charge was cool.
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..."
