So who wrote the Priority:Earth section?

[Sleepytime]

Aye, a mini-campaign with side missions (maybe a limit on how many you could perform in total with which ones you choose affecting the types of enemies and bonus objectives you see in the assault on the destroyer) akin to what we already had on some other planets would be far more fitting for what is a major campaign.

Sure would be nice to feel like we were saving Earth, or at the very least improving its chances as we went through it, as opposed to making no difference til the end (although it doesnt look like even that did anything helpful... ). It would also allow for more deviation at the ending based on choice, without simply relying on EMS, give more of a connection to planet Earth as it exists in the ME universe as something the player wants to save, allow for some more characterful moments... specially Vega. He's been talking about going back for ages. And give great opportunity to show War assets in action.

I can dream, cant I?

Yeah, very adult of you.

It was by far the worst mission of any story mission in ME3 because there was basically zero storytelling here. Way too focussed on combat and lets be honest the combat even though its improved is still not Mass Effects strong suit. Hell i even liked the N7 Missions better at least they don't drag out forever .

[devSin]

I think it's one of the most bland missions of the series. It's absolutely indefensible as the final mission of the trilogy.

You come all this way just for a few minutes of horde mode in some nondescript city block? Really?

Yeah sloppy work really starting showing through on the earth arc the whole thing screamed "RUSHED!"

[marshkoala]

It would have been great if the Earth mission had been like the trailer.....lol. Where everyone piles out and starts the fight.
It would have been great to see Jack holding husks back with her barrier
Seeing Rachni and Geti............it would have been so awesome.
I also love the ending to ME2 it was exciting, fun and had a sense of urgency. Aaah the good old days.

[Gterror2]

It sucked, no offense

[ZombifiedJake]

Worst mission in the trilogy, just plain awful. Good job, Bioware.

[Element Zero]

It really was terrible. I've managed two complete playthroughs, and about 4 that end when I delete the career after Tuchanka. I simply can't finish the game, knowing that the crapfest that begins on Thessia awaits me.

This was, by far, the most disappointing game ever, for me. It was a good game, but I expected a great game, as its predecessors were great.

I can pretty easily forgive most of the faults, up until Thessia. From there, we're on railroad tracks. That would be fine, if the story were well written. It simply isn't anywhere near to ME quality.

[OneDrunkMonk]

Still wondering how Earth, an initial staging point of the Reaper invasion, survives where Thessia and a whole planet of Biotics and superior tech doesn't. I guess this is what happens when you play a human made video game.

[Luigitornado]

I actually liked it better than ME2's Collector Base.

The base was bland, and the final boss was silly.

Oh, and the endings are even worse the second time around.

Thanks for confirming this. I will save my 20-30 hours doing something that ends with less disappointment.

I agree.
It all felt very rushed and just really dull.

I really was expecting a type of Suicide Mission, but maybe on a larger scale.

WHY ALL THE PHONEIX ARMOR?!?!

[ahandsomeshark]

Priority earth got the atmosphere right, but was absurdly linear to the point it really makes no sense in hindsight. That pace atmosphere over a much longer or more involved gameplay would have made sense.

[DiE231]

Priority: Earth was supposed to be one of the most epic moments in GAMING(no just the ME series) and it turned out to be one of the worst missions on the franchise.


Take a look at the suicide mission, at Tuchanka, at Rannoch... all the choices you made through the game/series, having a direct impact on the outcome and the way the mission plays, good stuff.


Now back Priority: Earth, what we have? 2 missions of horde mode(survive X waves and rush for the shuttle/missile wooohoo), goodbyes, and at the end we have the beam(which is an recycled idea from Tuchanka), EMS plays no role on the battle? WTF.



Seriously, i have no idea how people can say that it was awesome, i guess they never played ME before.

There's not really much I can add except to agree with most other posters. It's not as if it even made good use of an iconic setting - all we got to remind us that it was London was an absurd number of phone boxes, and I can't see many of them existing that far in the future away from touristy areas.

ME2's suicide mission had me in a right state, what with the brilliant music, paranoid that I was about to get a crewmember killed and so on (although it fell apart a bit when the Reaper Baby showed up). I didn't get any of that with Priority: Earth. It might've been because all the ending marlaky meant that this time I knew what was coming (as opposed to not having a clue in ME2) but I'm fairly sure that it's not just that.

Finished my second playthrough tonight.

Thought it held up real well until the earth mission. THAT whole mission is awful. The objectives are bland, there's NO squaddie dialogue and the level design is lazy.

It's tragic when you compare it to the rousing finish of ME2: using your whole team for various tasks, the mounting drama as your push to the main chamber becomes more desperate, the fact that anyone could die at any given time...

By comparison, ME3's last mission feels slapped together and unfinished.

Seriously, BioWare should reconsider post-game DLC and give ME3 a real final mission. Priority: Earth is an awful way to end your trilogy.

Oh, and the endings are even worse the second time around.

^This. At first the glaring... shock of the endings kind of blinds what comes before but after time you begin to see that Priority Earth is just terrible and bland all around. When you keep looking you start to see more and more about the game that was just so obviously rushed and it is really just... sad.

I think the game started falling apart after Kai Leng beats you on Thessia. Since everything after that doesn't really compare to Rannoch or Tuchanka. How many people have favorite moments (that don't involve impaling Leng!)after Thessia?

I think Thessia itself wask weak in comparison to Tuchanka and Rannoch. If they had left Javik in the game and developed the Asari-Prothean tension through multiple Thessia missions and made it personal for both Javik and Liara, it could have been amazing. Instead, it was limp and impersonal -- quite a shift from the Mordin-Wrex-Eve/Salarians-Krogan concerns on Tuchanka and the Legion-Tali/Geth-Quarian concerns on Rannoch. Of course, those storylines also had the benefit of establishment and exploration in earlier games. Another 6-12 months of development (seriously) were needed to really knock ME3 out of the park. Without that much needed time, they tried to pull a few fast ones, and didn't get away with it.

Ironic, given that the ability to accept differences of opinion is generally considered to be a mark of maturity...

[Ultra Prism]

yeah it was too linear and nothing exciting happen .. even killing the Reaper was stupid ... seriously last shot and made it count ... so much luck SERIOUSLY!!!!

[sfam]

Priority Earth was definitely rushed. For instance, someone tells Shep to notice that all these soldiers look at Shep like he/she is the greatest thing alive or some such, and that Shep should really be aware of this. I fully expect to have a bunch of interactions with regular soldiers to either pump them up or humiliate them ("I'll probably live, but you? You're dogmeat, bro...") or whatever. But no, no interaction whatsoever.

[zarnk567]

Yea, it's pretty sad what is supposed to be the climax built up throughout the entire series.... is the worst mission of the entire series.
