Second, mass effect 3. All of it. The game should not have opened with the reapers invading Earth. In 1, the Sovereign himself seemed like a planet-breaking cosmic monster. 3 tells us that isn't true, because admiral Keith David is able to hold Earth under sustained reaper assault for weeks, if not more. That simply isn't believable based on what we've seen and heard on the reapers prior to that. It ruins the pacing of the entire fucking game. I cannot, cannot believe that bioware expected fans to accept a sustained reaper assault on Earth. They should have taken it in a day, if not hours.

So this isn't true. In Mass Effect 1 its stated by Virgil on Ilos that it took the Reapers decades to wipe out the Protheans planet by planet. By the time the Reapers went back through the Mu Relay and Virgil woke up the scientists decades later there wasn't enough of them left to repopulate the galaxy.

There are issues with the pacing of Mass Effect 3, but that isn't one of them.
