Delay means polish. If DA2 had been delayed maybe they wouldn't have had to use the same maps a few dozen times. EA loves to rush, but after the mixed bag that was DA2, I think BW will stop giving a shit about the deadlines EA gives.
Reapers Delay Mass Effect 3 Until 2012
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
EA: So this Skyrim thing? Big?
Everyone: Fucking huge.
EA: Likely to get game of the year from every publication
Everyone: Without a doubt.
EA: OK! We'll release it 2012

Disapointed... as this is the main game on my radar atm, i've never been an elderscroll fan, but, nothing i can do about it, and, hopefully it's for more polish and maybe even some content. *shrug* could end up being a good thing. Can put off upgrading my PC for a bit more i guess...
Hey are you starting College this fall as well?Cowabungaa said:At first I was like
and then I remembered the other fantastic games getting released in Q4 2011 and the fact that I probably be going to school by then. And then I realised that this is actually way better. Now I don't have to choose between Skyrim and ME3 when I ruin my education!
OT: I was expecting this. ME 2 had the same deal after all. Can't say I'm upset. Take all the time you NEED Bioware......and do make it the best game ever made in the history of all time will you?
I was really hoping for Holiday 2011.. but I knew this would happen... *Sigh*
Oh well.. I'd prefer they do it right.

Yep. I know I was planning to delay buying it for a couple of months because Skyrim is my November game. It was suicide announcing it three days before Skyrim.StarStruckStrumpets said:

As annoyed as I am by this, I'm not nearly as annoyed as I thought I would be.

Does this really surprise anyone?
Before they said "December 2011" which is like release date terminology for "we would really like to have this out before Christmas 2011, but it probably won't happen."
**shrug**
I'll just have to replay ME2 again.

Trust me when I say this is a good thing. Like when ME2 was pushed forward to January 2010, January 2012 gives Bioware enough time to make ME3 a true successor to Mass Effect 3. I toatlly saw this coming and I'm glad they're goning to spend more time polishing it off.
Thankfully they're announcing the delay almost half a year ahead of time, unlike a lot of other game companies that have been doing it around a month before release.
Also, I'm also a bit glad since it looks like summer is going to strip my wallet dry and the holidays don't seem so pleasant for it either.

I see 2 general reactions here
The people who are fine with it, or happy that the game will be given more polish, because they have games to play in the meantime.
And the people who start of saying that they are upset, but quickly point out that in reality, it's good that the game will be given more polish, becasue they have games to play in the meantime.
Lesson to Devs: Don't release unfinished games that still need work. We are fine with you taking your time to do a good job.
Oh, Im mildly dissapointed, but think its encouraging in the long run, and kind of relieved that it will stagger my spending some.

Oh thank god, I was afraid I was going to have to choose between Mass Effect 3 and the (true) return of my favorite shooter, Battlefield 3
Still, I think delays this early on are nothing to worry about, small setbacks or underestimating how long it would take to finish the product. Plus, more time usually means a better product in the end, I think- and I will patiently wait as long as needed to see another fantastic entry to the ME series.
