Reapers Delay Mass Effect 3 Until 2012

[Lethos]

I totally forgot it's 2011 and 2012 seemed so far of.

 

[teutonicman]

Totally didn't see that coming.....

 

[Volucer]

On the one hand - Nooooooooo! On the other, thank God. I'm going to have enough to play in November without needing to spend 30-60 hours playing a game I've been waiting for for the last year. Uncharted 3, Arkham city, Skyrim. Yeah, the time off will do me good.

 

[C117]

Well, at least it's good that they delyed it NOW, rather than in November or so, when everyone (myself included) is hyped to death for the conclusion of this epic saga!

 

[plugav]

After the fun but rushed DA2, I'm really glad to hear it. I'll be hearbroken if Mass Effect 3 falls short.

 

[BrunDeign]

I'm just gonna say that I called it at the VGAs.

There was no way they were meeting there deadline if all they had several months before the release date was a tiny trailer.

 

[pliusmannn]

After Dragon Age 2, these news actually sound very very good. DA2 was rushed like hell, and I don't want last game in MA series to be such a dissapointment. Also I always remember Gabe Newell's "better delay for some time, than suck forever"

 

[Riff Moonraker]

Fantastic news! Mass Effect 1 and 2 are my favorite games of all time, but this comes as welcome news to me. I like it not coming out in the cluster of games that always come out in the fall.

snip .

pah, the day D3 comes out is the day gabe newell releases info about half life 3



OT: I do not mind this one bit, more time for them to perhaps add some more elements/baddies, or refine what is there and really making the re playability a strong part of the game.


plus by that time i'll hopefully have had my fatty taste of skyrim and every other game coming out within the holidays.

 

[sean360h]

Good.

Now I can happily play away on Skyrim for a few months in the knowledge that Bioware are taking their time to make ME3 great.

and when they come out i get to wait shaking in excitement for you to put out a epic song about mass effect 3
any way i expected them to do this to begin with prob a release in early jan

 

[Legion]

Is anybody really surprised by this? I think I was just waiting for how long it would take for them to announce it.

 

[Eternal_24]

Good, hopefully with the extra development time this means they won't balls it up like they did with DA2.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

Good. Means I can play more Skyrim.

Though I suppose this'll give me more time to play Skyrim and Minecraft. Still a bit of a disappointment.

 

[michiehoward]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm Commander Shepard and this is the worse news on the Citadel.

 

[mireko]

Good, maybe this will give them some time to add a little more color and retcon the T-1000 (I'm not being sarcastic, please do this).

I would obviously like to play it as soon as possible, but if it makes the game better, by all means go for it.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Ah yes, the "Reapers"...

Never thought I'd quote that

Anyway, as it's been said before, this is actually a good thing. First it gives more time to get the game ready and second of all: fucking SKYRIM.

 

[jamescorck]

Good!

This is really good news! I actually knew they were going to delay the release date, the longer they take to finish the game the better it will be and the more polished it will be. Good news indeed!

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I'm sorry, but I'm calling it:

This is because Skyrim's sales would have blown ME3 out of the water.

 

[starhaven]

all they need to do is the combat of 2 with the rpg and stroy of 1 but give the other class's fun things to i have the most fun flinging people into the sky and listening to them screm
