Mass Effect 3 Delayed into Early 2012

Good! Take your sweet ass time, and make it as incredible as possible!!

aaah fiddlesticks!

I'm okay with this, considering just how many games are releasing in the last quarter of this year.

" I think this is great news. "

Also, if this means that EA learned their lesson from Dragon Age II, then this is cause for celebration.

I called this. The fall is too packed as it is. Mass Effect 3 deserves its own space.

Good news in my opinion, gives the developers more time and allows me to take a break from Mass Effect. 

This is great news. I don't want them to "Kirkwall" my mass effect, thank you!

I kind of glad. I want ME3 to be the best game I've ever played :)

Sad that it is delayed - but at the same time, I would rather have a later, awesome game, than another Dragon Age 2, which I think could have been great if they spent more time on it.

Bummer. But that's one less competitor for Portal 2 to win Game of the Year.

I think this is great news.

I see this as a good thing. The more time to perfect it the better, as long as it doesn't take TOO long.

I called it during the VGAs.

Nooooo

Damn

I don't mind to be honest, gives me more of a chance to play some other October-ish releases.

When BioWare and Electronic Arts revealed Mass Effect 3 would be coming by the holiday season, less than two years after the release of Mass Effect 2, there was much celebrating. You'll have to store the party favors for a few more months, however: Mass Effect 3 has been delayed into early 2012.

"Today we have confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012," said exec. producer Casey Hudson in a statement. "The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone’s expectations. We'll have more details about specific dates as we get closer to release."

The note appeared on BioWare's message boards and Facebook pages.

Cue the sad trombone. But, hey, more time for Skyrim!
