Wise move. So much epic games coming out this year, and the DA2-rushed disaster makes me being just happy this gets more dev-time.

The reason for ME3's delay is simple.

EA is already planning to release their biggest game of the year: BATTLEFIELD 3. Just look at the current hype that EA is trying to build up.

Having another shooter combined with ANOTHER heavyweight like Skyrim makes the delay sensible.

Oh GOSH!!...I agree with the general consensus. A greater wait quite possibly means a greater epic game and I'm fine with that. BUT!!...jeeze!, I already told my nephew I wouldn't be able to afford to buy him an Xmas gift this year cuz I had already planned on stashing his gift allotment money away so I could buy ME3..heh heh! Oh well! Maybe we'll see another DLC perhaps. Don't tell me Arrival will be all we get until a year from now!!

Im gettin tired and to old to be waiting on game these days it take companys now days damn near a lifetime to push a game out and its retarded.

[clone wars]

to me this is good and bad news 

[Tony_Knightcrawler]

Well, I'm glad that it got delayed, really. First, I wanna see ME3 win GOTY. This year it'd have a lot of competition from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, L.A. Noire, and Zelda: Skyward Sword. At the same time, I'm sure amazing games will come out next year, too. :-P But really, if this is the final ME3 game, I want them to delay it as long as they feel they need to.

Unfortunately, I was planning on doing having one of my last days at work be the midnight launch of ME3, and doing a special launch by buying ice cream and toppings and maybe making waffle cones (I might need to renew my food handlers license, but no biggie), and give out some replicas if I managed to make them by then. Now I won't be able to do that, because I'll have my new job by then. Oh well. :-/

I was annoyed at first but not to much because i understood why but when i realized that they might be dumbing it down to appeal to a wider audience really p***** i do not want to be disappointed with another da2 thats my biggest issue with it.

But if going to be released in 2012 i hope its in January

[Jarlan23]

I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I'm happy they will have more time to develop it. On the other hand they said they were delaying it to change the combat up to be more of a shooter than ME2 was.

I hope EA didn't have a hand in this to make it more mainstream(their words).

The Old Republic was supposed to release around the same time as Mass Effect 3. Old Republic is a much bigger game than Battlefield 3 in terms of money and time invested.

Good news!

This is awesome news, and should apply to every game released. I would much rather wait longer for a better game than get something rushed. Take as long as you need to Bioware!

Edit: Funny how everyone seems to be relieved by the delay ... it seems DA2 really shocked the Bioware fanbase

I can't speak for the fanbase, but yes, it shocked me. You may or may not agree with some of the design decisions, but it's completely clear the game was rushed and several aspects of it suffered greatly as a result. Apparently ME3 will be spared that fate, and for that I'm immensely happy.

Well thanks God for the delay. Almost everybody is happy for the delay on this thread because we all have DA2s debacle fresh on mind, so we feel very relieved by this news. It can only give them more time to polish and get it right.

I'm glad they've soaked in DA2s lesson and have reacted accordingly. The negative feedback on DA2 is simply staggering and widespread. BioWare really jeopardised their well-deserved dev name releasing such an unpolished and clearlly rushed game.

They can take all the time they need until they get ME3 right. It has to rock.

I'm not too worried about ME3. The second game in a series is always the one that the developers experiment with and makes the fans all grumpy, while the third game takes what was good from both games and multiplies it by 100, thus making the third game the best in a series. (Eg. Zelda II to A Link to the Past, Metroid II to Super Metroid, Super Mario Brothers 2 to 3).

This is why its being delayed: "to address a larger market opportunity"

When asked about the (ME3) delay, EA boss John Riccitiello said, "Essentially, step by step, [BioWare is] adjusting some of the gameplay mechanics and some of the features that you'll see at E3 that can put this into a genre equivalent of shooter-meets-RPG, and essentially address a far larger market opportunity than Mass Effect 1 did and Mass Effect 2 began to approach."

Hello Dragon Mass Effect.

Outch....Usually it doesn't end well when game design is driven by the market. It just leads to over streamlined products that are accessable by everyone but are ultimately boring.

Hopefully they use the extra time to finally add some female aliens.

Apparently you are not that old then. Specially big name titles get very little dev time compared to like 10 years ago, to make the quick buck with their names alone *cough*DA2*cough*

Only one sentence:

Hello the equivalent of DA2 called ME3.

No, that's how Riccitello is spinning the delay. That's a bunch or soothing-to-investors PR-ese that's so vague as to be practically meaningless.

Good luck convincing people that the sky isn't falling. There have been countless threads today of people complaining that that single statement is the downfall of Mass Effect. If the game released on schedule, people would complain. If it gets pushed back, people complain. There's really no way to win this.

Granted, people are a little sore after DA2 but we shouldn't jump to conclusions this early in the game.

I believe in Bioware! Mass Effect is their flagship! They wont fail the Mass Effect series!

I really wanted to play Mass Effect 3 at the end of the year but i think 1-3 more months wont hurt... I guess Battlefield 3, Guild Wars 2 and maybe The Old Republic will do for the time being.

[bald man in a boat]

So basically dude said "Bioware is going to further tweak their game so that i will be a sick shooter/rpg."

This is bad how?

Because he said "larger market opportunity".  Of course, this was a statement made at an investor conference, so that type of handwavey PR language is more or less required.
