I feel like I did nothing then died. (2)

One line summary of the Mass Effect story... and it's accurate.
Makes me wonder how bad the DLC extended version is going to be.

I've thought about it, and there's no digging themselves out of this terrible ending.  May have been better to just leave it at "andtheyalldiedtheend!" instead of compounding the epic fail.

i feel like i vaporized earth.

does that count?

[MrNighttime]

No matter which theory you subscribe to I have to say --I don't think so.

But since I feel that some one stole the last page of the story I was reading I can't say.

[pharsti]

I didnt, why would i feel like i did.

All i did was use space magic to get rid of the reapers in one of 3 colors, earth was just a background with some generic human soldiers while every force i spent the game collecting drunk tequilla off screen

[Batarian_Army]

Simple question, simple answer: NO! And I have not watch the "Take the earth back" trailer since I see the endings...it hurts, because the whole trailer is a LIE...watch it and after that watch the endings...nothing in the trailer has something to do with the game...very funny -.-

This mission was large disappointment. I didn't feel like I took back Earth at all. I felt like I was running towards a giant Reaper with my squad. Sure, there were enemies, but nothing was epic. It needed to have cut scenes or in game scenes of my giant army actually doing things. Maybe some geth could take out some enemies in an area that I can't get too or something. I don't know. It felt useless because my army didn't have any screen time and the fleet I spent all game gathering did nothing.

[Avalon Aurora]

Nope.

[Giantdeathrobot]

Not really. I mean, I actually liked the mission, even if it wasn't as cool as fighting in a zero-G Citadel or assaulting the Collector Base, taling to all these people and seeing Earth devastated was great. But, I don,t know, it's hard to say I retook Earth when in fact I went from pile of rubble A to pile of rubble B then defended a tank then entered a beam to nonsenseland. Doesn't help that, in any ending except Control, the Citadel explodes in low orbit above it, certaily causing one hell of a cataclysm. Not to mention that Earth was already ruined by the Reapers. Or by the galactic fleet that fired all those lovely shots straight at it and missed. Remember that little snippet?



Yeah, every miss by the fleet means three times the yield of Hiroshima on Earth. There are a LOT of ships in that fleet. Even assuming a crazy accuracy rating (say, 95%), the face of Earth facing the battle is a wasteland now, 100% sure. Not to forget all the debris left by the battle itself.

So yeaaah, we may have retook Earth, but now it's devastated at best, and a sterilized pile of rubble at worst. I'm all for bittersweet victories, but this one is pyhrric at the very best, and completely hollow at worst.

Short answer: no. Reason being that from the moment of leaving earth and starting on all other sub- and priority missions I kept thinking that Earth would end up like my Normandy Crew in ME2 (dead and digested by reaper tech because I wasn't fast enough).

When it was time for Priority: Earth, the one mission seemed to small to actually "take earth back". I would have loved to see other cities, and clearing them from reapers one by one, and get reports that N7 and the Alliance are doing the same all over the world.

I would have loved to see more cutscenes on how all the fleets are hammering the reapers, not just follow Shepard to his grave. Ofcourse the short cutscenes at the very ending didn't help either, because I never got to see how much of Earth that was actually saved. All I saw was smoke and ashes with a few soldiers waving their hands in the air...

I will say that the part where the entire fleet Shepard had gathered warped into the Sol system ( which IMO opinion was one of the most EPIC moments in any form of entertainment ever--it seemed to go on for several minutes as I said "hell yeah") made me think I was gonna retake Earth---

Me too! I was on the edge of my seat

"Ok here we go! Bet you shepard's going issue her first commands soon!"

annnnnnnd instead of using my war assets in an epic cool way...I just landed in London with two other people...and it didn't really matter who I picked.

[ungodlike]

Doesn't feel like we took back earth, didn't feel like we even put up a real fight, we just decided to believe that something (a crucible) would do it for us.

[Reorte]

Who knows? Never really got a good view of it. Anyway, I was more interested in the bigger picture (saving the rest of the galaxy) and the smaller (my friends and lover).

To be fair I never expected to be directly ordering fleets and regiments around. That seemed to be Hackett's job (in space) and Anderson's (on the ground).

[SugarChic]

Did I take back Earth?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

It was incredible at first with all the overwhelming amount of Reapers thrown at you and feeling like it was a struggle to win, but then when Harbinger shot the beam, and beyond.... *shakes head* Nope.

Also the fact I couldn't see most of my assests was annoying, where was the Elcor I saved (which was also a dissapointment )

Yeah, or where were my dinosaur riding krogan?

 So I have been brooding on the ending just as much as anyone else and have been trying to summarize why I feel complete dissappointment in the way the game ended. Then it hit me in the face. The tag line that was thrown around like crazy leading up to the launch of the game "Take Earth Back." I bought the game because I loved the first two and wanted to conclude one of the most epic journey's in video game history by taking back Earth and ridding the ME galaxy of the Reaper threat. So here I am, finished with the game, with no desire to play through ME3 again (which was one of the greatest selling points of the previous two games) and all because I feel like I failed to do the one thing that the game promised I would do. 

No amount of "clarification" will fix this, not unless it includes me waking up from my laser induced coma and kicking multiple baddies in the face (preferrably Suicide mission style). 

Addendum: List your #1 reason why in as few words as possible. 

Not only do I NOT feel like I took Earth back, I felt that I gave up or had taken from me the rest of the galaxy as well, and kicked in the nuts for my trouble.

[stysiaq]

no, I didn't.

I would take back Earth, if I saw Normandy firing a fatal shot into Harby's face.

I would take back Earth, if Shepard made it to the beam on his own, saw something logical and thengot back on the Normandy to enter a victorious space battle (f. e. if Crucible turned off Reapers shields, idk)

I would take back Earth if I had a conversation with Harbinger and talked him down, and made the Reapers retreat to the Dark Space. Anything other than little space wizard,

Why wouldn't the Control ending break the cycle? I've seen people write that Synthesis wouldn't necessarily prevent the creation of new synthetics, but if Shepard truly maintains the ability to control the Reapers, then they bend to his will. It would seem like the cycle would only not break if Shepard decided he wanted to go and do some Reaping, which seems unlike Shepard (especially Paragon Shepard).

I'm not so sure. Assuming Shepard's control persists through time, what's to stop Shepard eventually agreeing with the Reapers? We might be dealing with millions of years here, I doubt even a personality as resilient as Shepard's would be immune to erosion after such a vast period of time. Indeed, what if the Catalyst's projected reality actually occurs, and Shepard is forced to re-start the cycle in a last-ditch attempt to preserve organic life?

I just don't think control is terribly safe (aside from the 'fly into a black hole' headcanon), because it leaves the Cycle potentially open, either out of choice or necessity. If the control is only brief, this is even more the case.

Basically, I just don't trust the Catalyst's smile.

[Warod]

I feel like a killed a bunch of reapers in London.

OP.....nope

[aMytallica]

I think the reason the whole "take earth back" thing felt a little hollow was simply because you didnt see the consequences of it all at the end. Rannoch and Tuchunka were amazing missions, and are stand outs by far, because there was a huge pay off in the end. You see the consequences of your choices and everything you have done, and as a player you feel rewarded. I thought earth was a pretty awesome mission actually. There was just no pay off. We can assume that we did in fact "take earth back", but we don't actually see it. I think it would have made all the difference.

No. I feel disappointed. Cheated. Lied to.

[Karolus_V]

I really felt Hammer was going through a meat grinder. For some reason the war assets where not showing, and for some other reason, experienced and awesome fighters like Asari commandos, Krogan, N6 and N7, Salarian STG, Krogan, Turian soldiers, Geth , More Krogan, past squadmates (Zaed is probably worth a brigade by itself, just let him join the enemy and go somewhere , a bar, or a cave, or to the mall, he is the only one going out alive), where not shown doing their stuff, acting coordinately, kicking ass and taking names.

If a 15 year old can beat 3 or 4 husks with a stick...


but no, it was for some reason a one sided meat grinder.
