Mass Effect 3 Delayed into Early 2012

" 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. "

Same. It needs time. The last game was very rushed feeling. So much shit was just thrown out the window, it felt like they just wanted to release it quickly. "

What do you mean? It came out three years after the first game, that's more than most games do, and that's more than it's taking ME3 to be made, even with this delay.  "

This is actually good news for me, because I'm going to be busy with Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, and Arkham Asylum this Fall/Winter. I want to be able to devote 100% of my attention to Mass Effect 3 when it comes out.

I saw this coming fro miles away and I was even using a telescope

Dragon Age II suffered greatly from it's tight schedule so I'm glad to see ME3 given more time. 

Eh, I can wait. If the game turns out to be awesome, then that's really all that matters to me.

I was hoping for a delay too many damn releases. Wasn't Mass Effect 2 delayed by a few months also? Anyways it seems like a good idea to get it out of the ridiculously crowded Holiday '11 release window. ME2 didn't seems to suffer not releasing in Q1.

NOooooooo!!!

I am expecting ME3 to be game of the fucking century and if that means that BioWare want to push it back to make sure it is as spectacular as it should be then that is fine with me.

That's a huge bummer. But, I guess there is enough coming out later this year to barely notice. 

I called it months ago, but it still breaks my heart a little. At this point, Bioware can do whatever the fuck they want without question. They earned that right. Just like Chris Nolan and the Batman franchise.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!well i'll just play more skyrim

Called it, no way would it have been done this year. Either way, its good to hear, there is already enough games coming out this year.

Guess I'll need to change my list.

Happy they pushed it back as releasing them so close makes me question the level of quality ME3 will have.

I sincerely hope Skyrim offers enough gameplay so that I don't miss ME3 being pushed back like this.

Why is everyone mentioning Skyrim along with this? Am I the only one who would much rather have had that delayed instead of ME3? Both are looking great but I know which one I'd rather play

Who didn't see it coming.

Good.

It sucks, but this gives them more time to make it epic.

" why do people think that releasing in 2011 will make it into a DA2? its a different group of people within bioware working on mass effect 3 "

Hopefully Uncharted 3 doesn't get delayed, too. My two most anticipated games.

They could take 10 years and I wouldn't care.

Just make it good.

Damn it!

Now I'll get enough time to play through the first and second game before I jump over to the third game. But delays are never good though...

I won't lie, this really dissapoints me. That being said, this year is so jam packed with huge titles that it may be for the best. I'll probably be playing MK far into next year, along with Skyrim, BF3, LA Noire and Portal 2.

Jan. again would be fine GOTY ooooh yea

GOOD! gives them more time to make a better game

I knew this was going to happen so I'm not suprised. Take all the time you need Bioware to make this a good finale!

Let's hope it resembles an a RPG this go around.

This is the least surprising delay in the citadel.

Sweet, I was worried that they were going to rush it. Take all the time you need, I don't want another dragon age 2.

 Thank god ME3 doesn't come out this year. Now, it could actually be a worthy successor to ME2 and not rushed out like DA2 was.

BOOM. Called it.  

Not much of a delay & personally not going to be that upset about the wait, more time for other good games & at least this one should be as good as the other 2 so I'll not be too disappointed when it does come out.

Good, I always thought it was too soon for a sequel anyway. Hopefully Bioware is learning from the mediocre reviews that DA2 received. Though I also hope that this delay won't prompt EA into forcing a multiplayer aspect into the game. 

I was probably going to need a good 2 months for Skyrim anyway so I'm fine with ME3 being pushed back.

Good.

Give them as much time as they need, imo.

18 month dev cycles always make me queasy so this news is quite relieving   

Totally agree with everyone who is relieved. I love this series too much for them to "DA2" it.

It's strange, I was just thinking the other day that the chances of a delay for ME3 were pretty high, then this comes out. GOTY 2012, I guess.

I loved ME  2, but that's fine by me. Skyrim, Batman AC, and Uncharted 3 will take up the time. Didn't we hear just recently that Bioware wasn't sure how it was going to approach multiplayer or something to that effect? That didn't sound good to me...

Not bothered. Gives me more time for Skyrim (and if that gets delayed, I'll cry.)

I'll be playing BF3 and hopefully Max Payne 3 I can wait.

Called it.

Guaranteed it's only delayed because of Skyrim.  They don't want to take their chances releasing too close

Not surprised at all, delayed release dates are the norm.
