User blog comment:Mexican215/So who was satisfied with the last battle against the Reapers?/@comment-1786741-20130206052209

To me the final battle just felt...... meh. I was expecting some sort of giant scale battle where you see other soldiers trying to confront the husks. Groups of krogan charging into battle, snipers providing cover, asari vanguards doing their biotic thing. Other than that later section, the battle for Earth sort of felt... empty. It would have been so much more fun if you were able to see some of your war assets at work in the actual battle. I was hoping for at least some sort of vehicle section to make the battle feel different but instead we got the INCREDIBLY stupid turret section thrown randomly near the end just so Shepard can shoot something. The Harbinger "cameo" was the most insulting. Overall, I just felt he should have played a much larger role in the game considering he's been inflated as the "big bad" reaper, the de-facto leader. He just floats down, shoots at the forces attempting to reach the conduit, then casually floats away with nary a word and his blatant negligence allowing Shepard to enter the crucible. Look, I wasn't expecting to fight him directly but how is this a good alternative? What really disappointed me is that we never had some sort of boss fight. ME1 had Saren, ME2 had a freaking baby Reaper, but what did ME3 have? Fighting more waves of husks to fire a couple missiles. When they first revealed that TIM wasn't going to be the final boss, I was happy. He was a guy that used brain, not brawn. But what did he do when you actually encountered him? Essentially be a poor knock off a Saren.
