I agree ME2's story was pretty weak. ME3 definitely picked things up and I didn't hate the ending(s) as much as everyone else.

  'lets build this McGuffin thing that we conveniently found at our doorstep at the very right moment and which we aren't even sure how it would work, but we will use resources of the whole galaxy to build it' story was hardly any better.

    The movie Contact had a very similar premise but yeah, it's not the best plot device given where the writers could have taken it.

      In the movie Contact the Earth wasn't under a genocidal attack by a overwhelming forces of a highly advanced alien race, they just received some blueprints that they thought should do something. And It was at least known how to activate the thing. With Crucible, they didn't even know until the very end. Very different case, I'd say.

        Haha you're right, definitely different. It's hard trying to defend it.
