Priority Earth Mission was lackluster, sloppy, boring, and poorly written.

 I believe this thread needs to be taken to the Single player and campaign discussion section.

The sad fact is it was ment to be longer, in the game files there is ALOT of unused dialog for the final battle from Jack,Zaeed ect. So this meant we would have seen our war assets in action, alas we did not. All we saw was human soldiers.

Where did you get this info? Can you share the dialog here? :huh:

I agree (no spoiler allowed) or this needs to be locked because this just sounds like childish whining and more hate towards Bioware because of the ending(Just look at the title for proof).

I disagree. It is my favorite mission after Tuchanka. That is until you get hit by harbinger of course. After that is the worst part in the history of gaming. Running to the beam was awesome.

I apologize for the bit of spoilers in the thread, although I don't think I mentioned many or even in any detail...just generally talked about the last mission, maybe the part about killing a reaper destroyer with missiles, but that's the only thing I think...

As for being locked, I would suggest you try and not base your entire opinion on insulting someone's valid opinions by simply calling them childish whiners who just irrationally hate Bioware, if that were the case I would simply just not care and not be here. On the contrary, I care about what Bioware does and does not do, and although I believe they have made quite egregious mistakes or blunders, such as the final mission, I am both appreciative and grateful for all the wonderful things they have done.

Making such a sweeping generalization that is also offensive does not lend any credence to your opinion and does you personally abosolutely zero credit.

Bioware has said that with the extended cut they will personalize the ending more. Maybe they will show more scenes of the effect that our war assets had?

Also it needs more music, there were times in London were it was just dead silent, music can really set a mood, the lack of music made it feel weird too me.


That would be too good to be true. But all I am expecting are 10 minutes of cutscenes at most.

You're not alone. The whole of the war against the Reapers comes down to... horde mode? Seriously?

It was so uninspired and irrelevant. There was just nothing there.

Like others, I hope this is something they really look at improving for the extended cut. There's just no way the final mission of the trilogy should be this rote.

Yup, survive horde mode. That's it.

It was weaker than some of the other priority mission but I would not say bad. The problem is that earth never was a focus of Mass Effect in contrast to the Geth/Quarian conflict or the genophage. The other themes were build in 2 prior games and the missions really profit from that. Priority:Earth is a bit isolated from the predescessors and lacks this intense immersion you felt in other missions because of that.

If they had put much more effort into the battle and push toward the beam, ending the game when harbinger fries you with his main gun... I would have been far happier with the way the series concluded.

It seems as if the entire Dev Team went on vacation and left the job of finishing the game up to the new guy in the office who fetches everyone coffee.

Did I already post? I don't remember, but I'll say it again.

I like the endings, but people are right, the entire mission either after or during Cronos Station feels rushed.

Yeah it's quite surprising how many people seem to agree that, whether you liked or disliked actual final ending of ME3, the final "mission" (Priority: Earth) seems to be overwhelmingly agreed upon as just generally being terribly done.

I'm really glad this wasn't just me and my impression.

I really wish we could get to know just exactly what happened, as another user posted, it feels like the entire dev team just went on vacation and they let some new guy do this mission.  :(

^ Earth probably was intended to never be that important; all we could do was read the codex entry for two games. Perhaps we expected too much. Even the dialogue throughout the game from the humans (Ash/Kaidan/Jacob/Miranda/Shepard/Udina/Hackett/Anderson) was better

Build up, but no pay off!

Compared to the Suicide Mission, Priority: Earth was a massive disappointment. The only redeeming quality was the last convos w/ your squad (although what was up with the completely random turret sequence in the middle?).

I seem to remember myself commenting a number of times on how the development for ME3 was too short. I kept saying it and people were telling me that ME3 would be great despite the constrained development time.

Well...what do you expect out of development time that was as short as it was?

If you were looking for a battle that just wouldn't let up, Thessia was pretty much your best bet. Heck, Tuchanka did ok too, but in all cases it was you and two others. In ME this was fine as every battle was little more than a skirmish. Someone made reference to how ME mirrors Star Trek TNG in some ways and I think that's pretty accurate since most battles in the series weren't more than skirmishes either. Big battles took time to build up and then you had things go crazy.

But, you know, when you're under the gun of a deadline put on you by your boss, what exactly do you expect to produce?

Earth was most certainly made out to be very important by Bioware.  If you were around when they announced how the battle would be about earth you would have seen threads up about the series being about saving the galaxy and not trying to save earth.  Many didn't want it, but we got it anyway.

One things for sure, for the ''grande finale'' it was way, WAAAAY too short. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it a lot, the writers managed to make me feel like returning home after a long and exhausting journey and wanting to give everything to defend it, the scenery was great, everything felt good ...but it was definitely missing several smaller missions like on Tuchanka or Rannoch etc.
Really disappointing, they wasted a lot of potential there.

I know I shouldn't say this but I'd pay for an extended Priority Earth Mission, screw Omega...

 it definitely feels as if everything after the Cerberus base mission felt rushed and incomplete.

I agree. The problem is that, while many would obviously understand wanting to save Earth, the player is given no reason in-universe why Earth is more important than the rest of the galaxy.

The only things we know about it from the past two games are what we've learned in codex entries, and thematic relevance to one of the three Shepard origins (Earthborn).

The center of Alliance power is at Arcturus Station, not Earth, and the centre of diplomatic relations/the biggest transit hub is at the Citadel. Shepard and the Alliance should be more worried about protecting those assets, not worrying about one planet when dozens of others are in immediate danger.

Really? That interesting considering that an "Earth Born" Shepard is one of the options and having the aforementioned folks lamenting about what has happened here. And then, there's the obvious: "Well, it's our home!" (from a player perspective)

However, it seems like we certainly got the shaft here! Why? Yet, again, human squadmates took a backseat to the non-human ones (not inciting anything) in terms of who you preferred to take with you.

Now, I wasn't here for those threads, but last I checked, Earth was/is apart of the galaxy. If not, where did the above squadmates + Vega come from. But again, given how our planet was executed (pun-intended), maybe a Codex would have safficed, but this negates all the dialogue that ties in! That was not at all right!

Um no op it is not boring and whatever smallness you described it as, you must have a different game, perhaps your game says call of duty?

Then what were: Rannoch, T'chanka, the Salarian, Arachni, Geth, Thessia, then? Half, if not all of the Alliance is from Earth, but they should ignore there own turf? I do not understand this logic - especially since Shepard asks another inhabitanta to leave their homeworlds to help save ours!

Who cares where the Alliance Station is HQ? If TIM wasn't do busy stroking his own ego, he'd begrudingly help Earth as well - provided he gets Reaper control!

The good-byes were good (although an actual branching one with Wrex would've been nice), Javik's thing about his team, No Shepard without Vakarian, Liara's, Ash's, etc...

But after that, yeah it sucked.
