Wow, people just DON'T GET IT.

The final mission WAS NOT supposed to be epic.

It was supposed to be about how much was lost, sacrifice, and struggle.......not some glorious hoo-rah war mission where things blow up everywhere while everyone cheers.

It was supposed to be a sad final mission.

You didn't get it. You missed the entire point.

You did not read the datafiles of people trying to face the invasion.

You did not listen to the radio conversations of the casualty rate, or the stranded terrified woman who tries to save a solider's life, fails, and then commits suicide instead of fighting on.

You did not get the obvious good byes or the finallity that the mission brings.

You wanted a Star Wars ending...too bad.

With slogans like "Retake Earth" you're saying that the ending wasn't supposed to be epic? People went in with the Bioware-given Idea that they were about to be the epic savior of humanity, not Victor Frankenstein with synthesis.


And you are....try again.

Your poor sarcastic response is gramatically nonsensical, and in no way shakes my point.

Naaah. It is not sad. It was anticlimatic. Have you ever seen a good sad war movie "about how much was lost, sacrifice and struggle"? Like, I dont know, "Saving Private Ryan"? If BW wanted to make me feel depressed, why did they do so with low-res textures and underdeveloped locations?


Yeah - the issue wasn't with sad - it was the fact they missed it being sad with some pretty terrible textures, bad script / dialogue work, lack of war assets, lack of any impact of anything leading up to it, and a random turret sequence for no apparent reason, then some pretty shoddy level work from there on out....

...to declare a commonly used line - priority Earth feels rushed. It feels like the alpha build with fill in voice actors and early dialoge and no polish on the level. Its like the basic idea of what they wanted - then it was never expanded on.

It SHOULD have been sad, it SHOULD have made us moved, it SHOULD have made us question all the decisions we made in the lead up to it, it SHOULD have left us wondering what we could have done different, IF we could have done anything different.

Instead I was left laughing at the hovering sitting man and best bud wrex talking to a bunch of what appeared to be sprites.


Now you are pulling things out your ass.

What bad script and dialogue work? Most of the VA is great in the level, especially the woman trying to help her comrade out over the radio, or the conversations with the companions. Oh, if you want to talk about textures, how about most of the entire trilogy. Bioware doesn't make cutting edge games in the graphics department.

War assets not shown...oh wait, they are...another falsehood. Maybe they didn;t show as often as you like, BUT they did show. They DID show or mention the geth/quarian fleet, Wrex or Wreav (or even Kirrahe), or whether Jacks kids are in the front lines or not, or whether Grunt has his company are not. The Krogan are not present if you sabatoged the cure with Wrex. A geth prime can be in the mission if you sided with the geth.

The level work was fine, not the best of the game, but allowed me multiple routes to fight enemies.

Nevermind that you are a commando team, you are not part of the main push. You are there to support the battle.

I cracked up at the part where he says "They DID show or mention the geth/quarian fleet" So as long as your war assets get mentioned it's fine and hey if you kill off the quarians you even get a geth prime to talk to. Nevermind if you get them both to work together, then he's just chilling somewhere else. 
And for someone just supporting the battle I sure felt like I had to do everything. Just walking by a random area and I'm commanded to get on a turret, get sent up the gut of the resistance, have to take out a hades cannon because no matter how high my war assets are there aren't enough people.

Because you are not part of the army, you are a commando team set to provide cover for the tanks. Of course you are going to be more alone. You are behind enemy lines.


A commando... covering the loud and noisy and not stealthy tanks instead of, you know, making thier way to the beam because if you want to actually be a commando, that's the type of stuff they do.

Plus there's tons of OTHER guys to cover the bloody tanks. That's what they're there for.

Shepard = Badass.
Random Alliance Dudes = Tank cannon fodder.

A videogame is supposed to be fun, not a boring grindfest that ultimately leads to disapointment.

the DLC I'd want: What if Rio instead of London or something? Rio's super cool.

Or maybe i dunno.

At least the new lightning chaingun assault rifle from the weapons DLC makes london a cakewalk (Seriously, you just melt brutes with that thing)

No sir, you miss the point.

This was our big time to shine! Kick the Reapers in the daddy bags and save the goddam galaxy again. Everything had led up to this, and yet it horribly fails in execution as the level is boring and the end totally goes off the theme rails. So you can go take your "art" and stuff it.

Too bad....

Sacrifice and loss were also part of the series and in ME3, sacrifice IS THE MAIN THEME.

Sorry, but the ending is consistant with the themes of the game and the entire series...you just don't get it.

Up until ME3, the only time i saw sacrifice is when Kaiden died defending the bomb on Virmire. Stop saying sacrifice was always the main theme cause it wasn't.

ME1: Stomps Sovy and loses only one person in the pursuit of the impossible.
ME2: Stomps Collectors and losses NO ONE in the suicide mission.
ME3: Everyone dies because it's "art".

So you tell me, what's out of place here? I do get it, they wanted to hammer in a dark theme so they could feel better about being a writer, and totally failed at making it work. Too bad that that's not what ME's about.

Perhaps, but it wasn't the theme that had all the emphasis on it. at the end of ME I felt like I was going to be tracking down and bashing in the cyber-skulls of every last reaper until life was liberated from the cycle. At the end of ME2 I felt like the final showdown was near and it was time to amass all my friendships and connections into a giant army to go toe to toe with the reapers and perhaps win, especially the way the game was marketed. Like I said and you arrogantly ignored, you were led to believe you were the epic savior of man kind. the theme of loss, if anything, was underlying until the end of ME2 and ME3, and it is still rather underlying there as well.

You must be blind than...

In ME1, you had to either sacrifice the council or sacrifice some Alliance ships to save the Council.

Oh and the ME2 opening, where Shepard sacrifced herself to save Joker....

How ignorant are ME3 haters?

You don't have to pick either for ME1. "Focus on Soverign."

And Shepard in ME2 wasn't trying to kill herself to save Joker. That isn't sacrifice. That's bad luck.

itt: People not knowing what "sacrifice" means.

The ME1 example is a dielema and the ME2 example is a plot device to get Shep under TIM's thumb for the story of ME2.....
