:lol: The Normandy landing right in front of Harbinger! That was truly bizarre, why not just fly the normandy in from the very beginning, why the need for that entire setup with ground forces? As for the rescue, it would've made more sense if Shepard got the squadmates to a mako or wherever Anderson was, but oh well.

I posted this on page 2 about that

 

the what-the-crap evac scene. I couldn't stop laughing hearing femshep call for the Normandy and actually seeing it in front of the beam. What a joke. All that to explain how both squadmates got back on the Normandy. Priceless. I would rather they explain how Steve got back on the Normandy. The other was to put in another goodbye when the goodbye was already said a short time ago. I wanted Harbinger to fire on the Normandy.

Steve gets on the Normandy? I never noticed.

 

 

Welp. There goes one head canon idea. I always figured he could fly Jack or Miranda up to the Citadel. Guess they'll have to hitch a ride somewhere else.

I have no idea where he's at when talking with him during his holobye at the forward operating base, so I would have to guess he's on the Normandy. How he got there, I have no idea. He's also seen during the memorial scene on the whatever planet.

I assumed the memorial scene was days after they found Anderson's body or after confirming Shepard's death. Shepard was listed as MIA for years and it took two years for Alliance to make a proper memorial then and other than Destroy ending, Shepard died without a body.. so..

 

Besides, what are the chances that your whole squadmates was on Normandy the whole time (its like that part where Miranda cram 12 of your squadmates in one shuttle before the collector attack). It was likely that everyone was spread out during Priority Earth. Liara helping out with the injured. Tali helping as tech experts. EDI helping Joker on the Normandy. Garrus with the Primach and the Turian military. Javik with Wrex and the Krogan military. Kaidan with his biotic squad. James and Ashley with the Alliance ground squad.

 

Then again, its a rushed ending.. what to do..

Yeah the logic either goes you're entire squad was yellowbellied and all fled the battle for the safety of the Normandy. They are out of contact and then act even more scummily by prematurely deciding to hold a memorial absent of any info.

 

Or its been days and they are all utter scumbags who haven't even bothered to look for Shep who is badly wounded. Instead they are spending their time on a silly memorial.

Well, the Normandy passes right by the tower and the Crucible when it starts exploding, so they witness the destruction level and probably some believe that nobody can make it out. I'm guessing the memorial is held at the point they're stranded, probably without any communication or confirmation. And while it maybe is prematurely (I agree it is), I don't blame them for doing it. Witnessing the destruction of the blast might have not given them a lot of hope. Except the LI, who believes somehow. I could've done without this scene to be honest, even though I like the "LI having hope" aspect :lol:

 

And in case it's been days and they could establish communication and knew Anderson was dead, it would be weird if Shepard isn't found by that point, they weren't so far apart initially on the Citadel. But who knows :)

Another thing I didn't like

 

After Harbinger is seen flying away, Coats and a woman say retreat. Our forces have been decimated. We need to pull back. Why didn't Anderson get on the radio and say negative, get to the beam at all cost? He did say at the fob, No retreat, no stepping back and we move forward no matter the cost

Because Anderson was dead. Everyone was dead. Didn't you hear Coates? The new star of the series? We're all laying there dying on the ground in front of the beam. No one made it. It's all a dream sequence playing out. We're wondering where our last breath is coming from. And it's the end. Nothing beyond there is real.

If I were in charge of a remake of 3, i'd totally do that just to mess with fans.  :D

I would say the Anderson guy is indoctrinated. I would say it started back in ME1 when he mentions Shepard's visions to the council in ME1

Coates was extremely important. He got a slide in all three endings! And he was on screen for what... about 15 seconds.

They should have used a shuttle for the evac instead of the Normandy. Although it would have been less dramatic, it would have made more sense.

They could have used a shuttle to get to the beam.

 

Storm the front with a decoy team, then come in from the back.

 

But, you know...

 

This isn't about strategy or tactics.

I'm actually okay with them not using shuttles for the beam run. It's not well explained, but I just assume it would have been a hot LZ. If a lot of Reaper troops were camped there it might have been better to go in from the ground.

 

On the other hand, hey-diddle-diddle-straight-up-the-middle is usually not a good game plan.

It would've been better. The Normandy has 2 shuttles. One that Steve used to get Shepard and squad to London and the other one used by the squadmates to get themselves to Earth though if the player only had Liara, James and edi for the whole game, I would like to see edi fly the shuttle if Liara and James went with Shepard or maybe salute guy flew the shuttle to London.

 

Anyways. Once the 2 squasmates are injured, Shepard tells them to stay put and when the area is cleared, call for a shuttle. When Harbinger is seen flying away, the 2nd shuttle flies in to pick up the 2 squadmates. What this does is get rid of the Normandy in front of the beam and the extra dialogue. Those VA's would not be needed. Saved some money by doing that. It also gives Hackett confirnation that 2 people made it up the beam, Anderson and Shepard

 

If Steve survives the shuttle crash, if Shepard talked to him, he could make his way to the fob since he never encountered any uglies. He can have a goodbye with Shepard. He is seen with a slight limp and a few cuts and srcatches to the face. He can take the 2nd shuttle with the rest of the squadmates and pick up the 2 near the beam

As easy as that is, I wouldn't do it. A good chance the destroyer will target the shuttle and destroy it.

 

Since Primarch Victus will always be at the fob in the game, I would have him along with a few Turians, and if Garrus is alive and not with Shepard, he can join Victus. Victus takes the route that Shepard takes in the game. Shepard and squad  make their way to the beam running into some resistance. Victus and others are fighting the uglies so they can use the missiles. Once they fire and destroy the destroyer, Shepard lets folks know that she's about to go up the beam

This is about being the dumbest motherfahkers in the galaxy. When you look at it, we should have gotten roflestomped (cutscenes didn't show me that we were, just told me repeatedly...)

 

Late ass response to reapers

 

No one aside from TIM, Wrex, Shepard, and to a much lesser extent Anderson even bothered preparing for the reapers (Garrus jumped in after practicing his ass whoopings on mercs).

 

Everyone lived in full denial or kept fighting amongst themselves for nothing

 

Technology not as advanced as Protheans, and people in this cycle were half as hardened. Protheans took the fight to the reapers and only lost cause they were increasingly disorganized which wore them down.

 

LOL LETS KEEP THE KROGAN 90% STERILIZED DURING THIS WAR WHEN THEY DAMN NEAR CONQUERED THE GALAXY ON THEIR OWN

 

Ungh...

Actually, let's go back to the beginning and talk about how incredibly stupid and out of character it was for the Reapers to have gone after Earth first to begin with. Taking the Citadel has been central to their entire plan from the beginning - not just because it's their big ticket out of dark space and back into the galaxy, but because it's the pretty much the central hub of the entire galaxy and where most of the power is concentrated. So conquering it essentially makes them king of the hill, and they can spread from there and conquer other solar systems with ease because they control the center.

 

The fact that they instead totally abandoned this key part of their plan and just went after a small potatoes planet like Earth, is dumb and goes against their whole schtick in the first place. Much like everything else they say and do in ME3.

 

Now that we've established this, the final mission should've actually been set at the Citadel and called Priority: Citadel instead. Or maybe a previous mission involves retaking the Citadel, and at the end the Reapers flee to Earth's solar system and take it then. Or maybe we make our final stand at Earth as the Reapers prepare to invade then. Anything but the Reapers foregoing a key part of their plan just to take Earth which is completely idiotic.
