Thought you guys would have picked up on the link sooner though.
KvP:
Here I was hoping that the Reapers would be all about the star destruction and world-scarring mass accelerators they've been hinting
at since MEs two and one, respectively, but hey I guess epic ground battles will probably do.
Let's be serious, despite Bioware's gum-flapping to the contrary ME has always been about Shepard the Space Chosen One. The climax has to take place on Earth because this one dude is so aggravating to the Reapers that they're going to go after this one specific planet to conquer the galaxy. I'm sure the explanation will have something to do with making new Reapers, as shown at the end of ME2 - invariably in any setting with races other than humans, humans are exceptional in some special way, having to do with their adaptability or ambition or whatever.
Anyway all it really means is that the game will have a fuckin' lame final battle, but that will just make the series 0 for 3.
Storm Rider:
I thought both the fight down the side of the Citadel and the suicide mission were really well done, actually. Unless you're talking about the actual final fights, in which case yeah. To be fair, it's kind of hard to do boss fights well in shooters and Mass Effect is far from the only game to have that problem. Apparently the boss fight in the Shadow Broker DLC is actually good? I dunno, I haven't played it yet.
maxusy3k:
The boss fight in the Shadow Broker was good in a kind of really challenging way. It was certainly very different. The lead-up to it was also really good and quite difficult. A huge counterpoint to the incredibly easy Overlord DLC boss fight.
I'm quite interested to see how they play out ME3. I've seen a lot of people whining that something as significant as the Earth being razed should not have been the first reveal of the game, but my counter on that was that "Shepard is dead." comprised the message behind most of ME2's hype and promotional material, so it's a possibility that Earth being under seige could - like Shepard's death - actually be something which starts the game rolling.
Thing is, I guess they could reveal that the game is now a God of War clone or something and I'd still buy it anyway.

it's something about the number of human colonies & the increasing power & presence of humans in citadel space iirc
