Every true. In fact I have been thinking about wirting a story about Tyranids invading the ME galaxy (after the events of ME 3). And then posting it here on BSN.
The fallout from that would be tremendous.
And entertaining lol.
We shouldn't have fought the reapers

Time Lords would wipe them out. It'd be a hilarious fight.
Most people pray to lesser beings than the Time Lords.

And all of Shepard's old team mates die (some die in horrific ways).

Screw the Reapers, send in the Tyranids!
(and watch as the forums explode with posts about them being too OP on Normal).
Isn't that what the various husks are anyway?

Not by a long shot.
The Tyranids, also known as The Great Devourer are an extragalactic alien race, whose sole purpose is the consumption of all forms of genetic and biological material in order to evolve and reproduce. Tyranid technology is based entirely on biological engineering. Every function is carried out by living, engineered creatures, each of which collectively forms the Hive Fleet, directed by a singleHive Mind.
The Tyranids are seen as one of the gravest threats to the entire Galaxy. They seek only to consume all organic life and cannot be reasoned with or deterred in this quest. Worse still for the Galaxy, thus far the Tyranid Hive Fleets that have been encountered are merely the furthest stretched tendril of the main invasion fleet that is still traveling in the void of space.[10]
EDIT: This is way I chose them for my story, you kill them or they kill you. There's no middle ground to choose form, unlike the Reapers

So, kinda like Reapers

Okay, the Reapers use cybernetics as well, but the Collector and other husks are based on repurposing organics to suit their purposes. They're also no stranger to biological warfare. (like the Omega plague)

Somethingsomething collective intelligence of all the Reapers...

Check...

Close enough. The Reapers seek to consume all advanced organic life. Oh, and SO BE IT!!!

You mean dark space?

so Tyranid is a better written version of the Reapers. I hope so.

1. No. unlike the Reapers the Tyranids consume all biomass form a planet (they don't just consume advanced organic life).
2. The Hive Mind is a biological thing (if it has a physical form is unknown, ask GW for more intel).
3. To stop a AI's form wiping out all organic life. Tyranids just consume to evolve and reproduce.
4. Form the Tyranid home galaxy (werever that is, ask GW about were they come form because the Tyranid Codex books never say were they are form).
Anyway taking this topic off track here.

We SHOULD have been fighting them directly since ME 2. The whole space zombies thing felt cheap. Powerful enemy? Give us powerful allies and powerful weapons. This cycle was implied to be full of anomalies; build on it.

Tyranids are nothing like Reapers.
Reapers reap advanced civs on a schedule to make room for another round of advanced civs after a condition is met, then repeat the prrocess.
Tyranids consume all biomatter in totality, leaving nothing else. At all. For no reason other than continuation of the species.
That's a hefty difference.

Cramming the whole Reaper war into a single game was a mistake; should have been two or three.
Have the screen cut to black after Leng (finally) dies, and then on the sequel.

I would just make ME3 gathering allies and ME4 fighting the reapers. Of course 12 more months of development time for ME3 would've helped as well.

The Reapers were terribly uninteresting villains. On top of being too overpowering, they had zero personality, all "crush, kill, destroy". Yawn. You could go with the Borg, they just assimilate. They are a much more interesting antagonist, as is their Borg queen.

Hmmm.
I loved talking to the Reapers directly. I loved watching a Reaper die by Thresher Maw. I think there should have been more of Reaper direct contact and battle, not less. I'd have made ME3 about the Reapers, less about uniting the galaxy, less about crazy Cereburus and no child AI.
Maybe if you took out some fetching me this time filling quests and added pushing back the Reapers by sector/quadrant, it would have been an edge of your seat, beat them back type of game. But then again... we had to believe the "you can't defeat them conventionally" litany so ... oh well.
I would have appreciated the quiet times more if there was a lot more tension and cat/mouse with the Reapers.
Just a thought. (and I have lots of other headcannon on ME3 so... )

Imagine if all the time spent on Cerberus shenanigans was spent on that side plot with the mechanical cuddle fish things.

BUT WE HAD TO FIGHT THE REAPERS!!
We could not just sit back and allow Reaper infiltration, Reaper indoctrination, Reaper subversion, nor the Intergalactic Reaper conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!

Hell, they could have done that with ME2 and ME3 - I love ME2, but in terms of the overall narrative of the trilogy it IS pretty superfluous - Making ME2 a recruitment mission for a war against the Reapers and then having ME3 as the war itself, would have made ME2 a hell of a lot more relevant.

Better if the collectors took Cerberus' spot in the third game as alternate enemies to the reapers. Take Cerberus out of it all together.Hell, they could have done that with ME2 and ME3 - I love ME2, but in terms of the overall narrative of the trilogy it IS pretty superfluous - Making ME2 a recruitment mission for a war against the Reapers and then having ME3 as the war itself, would have made ME2 a hell of a lot more relevant.

Or they could have had us fighting nothing but Reaper units, (With Abominations*, Scions*, and Praetorians* thrown in), ME3 part 1.
*After all, the Collectors all died in the Collector Base, but their minion creatures (Abom's, Scions, and Praetorians) were created using humans on Reaper technology.
And then in ME3 part 2; the Reapers have been destroyed and now that everybody and their mother's fleets are weak, if not outright kaput, Cerberus suddenly emerges from the shadows with it's own mighty fleets.
Mass Effect: Cerberus Uprising!

Same. As a villain TIM was great, and it really helped that we didn't have to fight Cerberus on four out of five missions, too.

What's not to like about a secret society that puts their logo on everything including their warship who's design is blatantly ripped off from an Alliance military project?

"Cerberus encouraged the Alliance to co-develop the original Normandy. This ship was built using copies of original technical schematics" EDI, after her shackles are removed in ME2 
Agreed on the logo

I hated Miranda in ME2. Part of the reason I decided to romance Jack TIM in ME2 felt charismatic, he could set you up for a Collector ambush but calm you down after the mission. In ME3 he became obsessed with control (he had moments like that in ME2 but they were episodic at best and very subtle). Not that I actually liked him in either game but in ME2 I respected him more.
