Mass Effect 3 Delayed into Early 2012

Mass Effect 2 was released in Q1 and that was part of why I loved it. Something to play after the holiday rush

Definitely. Bioware damaged it's brand with the sloppy way they rushed DOA2 to market.  It would be foolish to not make sure ME3 is well polished gem.  I love ME too much to see it rushed for a buck.

I wish the DOA games were made by Bioware...

Thank God!  Now I Can take my sweet time playing Skyrim, and Witcher 2, and Starcraft 2!

Summed it up perfectly in the last line. Double Skyrim all the way!

I had a feeling this might happen. It sucks, but I'd rather see Bioware make an amazing game late, than an okay game on time. 

Pretty much knew this would happen as soon as the game was announced. This will help it in two ways that I can see: the game will be more polished, and it will be easy for marketing to tie it in with the "world ending in 2012" BS to sell more copies.

Hopefully it won't turn out to be like DA 2.

I live in the moments between mass effects :( the only thing that would keep me occupied until then would be another red dead :( 

Is there any way I can filter out news relating to this game? I want to go in completely blind when it releases.

No surprise there. There's other games coming out in the fall, so it doesn't bother me at all.

As long as they use that time to make the gui on PC version actually work like a GUI on a PC version should work.

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

Look what happened to Dragon Age when they had a short dev cycle.  This is good news.

It sucks that I'll have to wait longer, but I definitely want them to make it perfect.

I would rather them spend too much time than not enough. *glares at DA2*

Also, they announced this delay so far ahead of the assumed release that it isn't really too bothersome. Its when they delay a game a month before release that it really stings.

I don't really understand how the first game had more depth..  It had an inventory system that was used for nothing except breaking down items into omnigel and a slightly more elaborate skill tree.  I really don't know how anyone could call removing clunky features to be dumbing down..

That said, DA2 was pretty poorly received and apparently ME3's been delayed to make it "appeal to a wider audience".  Some have taken to assume that means more dumbing down or adding multiplayer... But I'd guess that they've gone back to add more RPG elements.

I'm fine with it, I don't want more Mass Effect yet anyways.

Hey, we're only a month away from E3 and hopefully the first gameplay footage! So excited, I can remember back to when they unveiled ME2 it was so sweet, remember Brad drooling over the frame rate, LOL!

:(

Thank god. I was worried that the time frame to realease this game was way too soon. Reminded me too much of how it was with Dragon Age 2.

Thumbs up. The extra few months will be worth it, I'm sure.

More time for Skyrim indeed. Kind of thankful for the delay, that time period was looking a bit too busy.

good news

bitter yet sweet news....

that's good, but would of made a sweet goty podcast.

" Hopefully they sprinkle some depth onto it like the first one had (not gonna happen) "

Gives me more time with Uncharted 3 and Arkham City.  Whenever it's done I shall snatch it up eagerly. 

Yay! Perfection!:)

I'm not against this delay at all.  In fact, I would be fine with ME 3 releasing holiday season 2012.

Hey, not like there's other awesome games coming out this winter. Anymore time to ensure this will  be the most epic and awesome ending to Allen Shepard's tale is great in my book.

I was probably going to wait a few months for patches anyway, after the last few BioWare releases.  I'm glad they see it too.

Dark Souls, Skyrim, Uncharted, Batman -- there's still going to be stuff to play.

Take your time,Bioware. Take your time.

Its been delayed to recycle more locations.  I believe the whole game takes place in 2 rooms.  I dont even really care for ME, but fuck you EA!

Hopefully they sprinkle some depth onto it like the first one had (not gonna happen)

Take all the time you need, Bioware. I don't need another DA2.

dragon age 2 was rushed, this is for the best

I'll be playing Skyrim until 2013 so I'm good.  But really, I'm siked for this game to be gooood, so please take your time!

Cool the longer I have to wait to hear everyone gushing about how great it is the better, though on the other hand maybe it will just be better when it is over with.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This is fantastic news! I was worried about a rushed sequel, but it sounds like they made a hard choice in defense of quality.

great.  gives me more time to play ME1 and 2 :D

I'm so relieved, a November release would've meant around 20 months of development, not even two years, this gives them a bit more time. We all saw what happened with Dragon Age II when it was rushed =/

Reapers... First that whole taking over the galaxy thing, and now delaying the release of Mass Effect 3.

This is good, we don't want another Dragon Age 2

They can take as long as they need; as long as they give us another fantastic Mass effect game.
