Likes and dislikes about Priority Earth

This was from BSN where folks post about what they liked and disliked about the mission. Also created the thread since in another one a few, including myself, made posts about it

likes

-seeing the fleets coming through the relay. I wonder how many ships there are in total if the player collects all assets and has peace between geth and quarians?
-low ems battle over Earth. If the players ems is low enough, the reapers are doing a lot of damage. I was hoping it would be like that no matter what the ems is since the reapers are so high and mighty
- the combat from the time Shepard exits the shuttle until the first set of missiles are fired at the destroyer. I like the screen shaking
- when talking with Anderson, he will say 50%, 40% or 25% of hammer made it based on the players ems
- seeing both squadmates killed if ems is below 2000. That's what should've happened regardless of ems



dislikes

- lack of war assets seen
- all the ships firing at the reapers while the Normandy fires a whole lot of nothing. This being ME3, thannix cannons were only available in ME2. That's right. ME3 is the third game and its the place to start playing a trilogy so ME1 and ME2 never existed
- not showing a reaper pull a Sovereign. Remember Sovereign plowing into that ship destroying it? Too bad that didn't happen
- on the shuttle Anderson says "Too bad it took the reapers to unite the galaxy'.  Shepard united them Anderson  He follows up with, "that's exactly what I meant". No it wasn't otherwise you would've said that to begin with.
- the goodbyes. Those would've been better done on the Normandy on its way to Earth
- the plan to destroy the destroyer. Why couldn't a small team sneak past it to get to the beam? Wait a minute. That sounds too easy
- the cutscene showing the characters near the destroyer. Anderson says, " take them out any way you can". There was no them. It was only it and it was the destroyer. It was funny watching these characters using small arms fire to try and stop the destroyer. They got its attention and then were vaporized.
- after the first set of missiles failed, Anderson tells Shepard he's headed to her position. Why? The destroyer is distracted. Get to the beam Anderson
- once the reaper is destroyed, Anderson and Coates talk about what they may encounter once they get up the beam. Why are they worried about that crap. We need to get to the beam first
- Anderson mentions Harbinger. Shepard or should I say Commander dumba**, doesn't remember Harbinger. It was my femshep's stunt double that said that

-the beam run. Or should I call it suicide mission ME3 style? Everyone is running to the beam in a straight line making it easy for Harbinger to kill them and none are making any effort to get to cover. I did a playthrough that I walked to the beam. I stopped counting the number of times femshep was shot by Harbinger, but yet everyone else is killed. I guess femshep and squad had the reaper laser repellent. Too bad everyone else didn't spray themselves with it. If the player like to save as many as possible, try having Shepard walk/run backwards to the beam. I did that and only 2 gunships were shot down

- 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. Too bad Harbinger didn't fire at the Normandy.
- femshep is shot by Harbinger and her armor has been blown off her body, but yet the bodies in the same area has all the armor still on those bodies
- femshep kills 3 husks and Marauder. Why didn't these things show up as we were running to the beam?
- Anderson. Where was he during the what-the-crap evac scene? He could've helped get some of the injured onto the Normandy. Where was he when femshep was shooting the husks and Marauder. Just before I went up the beam, I turned around and he was no where to be seen
-after Shepard is shot by Harbinger, voices can be heard saying to retreat, regroup. Why didn't Anderson tell them to ignore that order and to get to the beam since Harbinger flew away. Didn't Anderson say no retreat, no stepping back when talking at the fob?
