DAMN YOU. DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL.

No god dammit this is the my LEAST favourite news on the Citadel!!

WILL THIS ONE HAVE A STORY?

To be honest... im quite relieved to hear this. Giving the finale a proper polish is the only way to end this behemoth of a trilogy.

The one game I want to be delayed.

" Godfuckingdammnit. "

Suits me.  Removes the stress of Skyrim vs ME3 in terms of which to play first to join the discussion.

Looking forward to it, the delay is no major upset.

I'll be the first to say that while other people were calling it, I was sure it would move for no game.

I didn't even know it was supposed to come out already. I agree, take your time!

I have a lot of love for Mass Effect but I'm glad they're taking their time. I'm happy to wait patiently if they want a few more months to really nail the third ME instalment.

They need more time to streamline everything. Probably something like this: D pad to select dialog. LB to do blue chicks. LT to do green chick. RB to do humans. RT to do robots. Y to shoot. X to get mission. B to order dlc. A to facebook like the game.

Damn

Mass Effect 3 is one of those games, for me, that even if I was playing something else newly release that I really loved and hadn't finished, I'd still put that on the back-burner to play ME 3.

Skyrim fortunately is another one of those games so I'm happy they're sperated if they were close together. :-)

That would be like the old adage goes: "When an unstoppable force hits an immovable" etc, etc.

Both of these games deserve a gamers full attention!

But in the longview, I'm always glad when a game is given some extra time, that usually means, to use half a wine tasters metaphor; it's fermenting into something truly awesome and tasty.

Way to ruin Christmas, Bioware! heh

Yes! I thought November was way too early, you know for what should be the greatest game of all time! Take your time, make it perfect Bioware.

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

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

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

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 =/

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

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

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

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.

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!

dragon age 2 was rushed, this is for the best

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

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

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!

Take your time,Bioware. Take your time.

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.

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

Yay! Perfection!:)

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

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

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

bitter yet sweet news....

good news

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

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

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.

:(

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!

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

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.
