Ahem. 2012, anyone? As in, that End Of The World As We Know It^TM conspiracy theory that lots of people believe in?

Commander Shepard saves the earth from annhilation, in 2012!

Unless it is released December of 2012, this doesn't make any sense.

It keeps them from having to compete with Skyrim, at least. I'm grateful for that, because Skyrim will own my soul for a few months.

I confess, that I don't know much about that theory, would it have to come out December to fit with it?

I'm not one of those people who enjoys convincing themselves to think that the world's going to end. The Mayan calendar said that the world ended some hundreds of years back too.I'm just saying, 2012+end of the world, some connection there?

Delaying it is a good decision for many reasons. After all, DA2 had big problems, one of which was a MAJOR FEATURE (auto attack) being left out, and affecting it's review scores, better that ME3 have more time in the oven! That, and there are two, maybe three (Deus Ex this year?) big RPGs coming out, it's better for both sales and fans, that they don't all come out at once.It worked well with ME2, after all.

December 21, 2012 is suppsoed to be the date for all that believe in the theory.

You don't have to believe in it to understand what they're talking about, you don't even have to think it's sane.

I wasn't insinuating anything. (nice, using a picture of Turk, made me think of the Guy Love song! lol)

I'm sure that some people will make the connection, 2012, save the earth!

I was mad about the delay until I read this post. Damn, how did I forget? TES:5 will own my soul for a while too.


An open letter to the world:
Hey, world...if you do decide to end when ME3 is released (though I don't believe you will, you're just crying out for attention methinks), please give me enough time to complete a playthrough. I'm begging you, world!

Sincerly,
SennenScale

And in Y2K there was supposed to be a technological apocalypse where our only hope of survival as a species was that John Connor would be born and trained to help humans win a revolution against the machines we created.

Yep. That theory goes: the world will end on December 21st, 2012 because the Mayan calendar (the Long Count) ends there, and they were pretty good with math and astronomy! Nevermind the fact that the Mayans would always just restart their calendar when it ended, because that's inconvienent!

it does not make sense as well to have EA games having more than one major product being launched in the same christmas season which is going to be battlefield 3.

which battlefield will no doubt sell in huge numbers because of aiming at the same audience of call of duty (i hate call of duty)

mass effect will likely not sell in nowhere near the same quantities as battlefield will because simply it does not have the same mass market appeal as battlefield or COD so their target audience is smaller.

Mass Effect also produces great levels of sales even in periods when its more quiet like they found when they released ME2 and DA2 in periods that traditional sell in great quantities.

As well considering ME2 had to have things introduced at later dates because of the game taking so long to make (like the car driving scenes in Liar Of The Shadow Broker and the Hammerhead) it is obvious that ME3 would need a similar time or even more considering they are trying to make it even more special.

So to me it is very logical to delay ME3 and no way are they trying to match it to doomsday theories which there has been more tons of dooms day theories which we should have died like 2000 times by now with all the dooms day theories floating around

Luckily we won't have to wait for December of 2012 to play ME3, I hope.

[Spaghetti_Ninja]

I will be glad when 2012 is over, because all the sheep will stop bleating about the imminent end of the world.

Until the next date surfaces from some kid's basement.

LOL, these two posts pretty much summ up my view on this!

You should of known this would happen. I always knew ME3 was getting pushed back to early 2012. It was just to soon for it to come out this year.

[CroGamer002]

Ignore the typo.
Not made by me.

Whoever the past years started this romour ''World will End 21st December 2012'' im sick of hearing. Who says the world is gonna end 2012? God?.

[xlI ReFLeX lIx]

Look it up. Its actualy 2060 now not 2012.

[shinobi602]

There are a lot of saps on this forum who think it's delayed to give it more "polish". lol

That doesn't matter, it's to maximize profit, period. EA wants to focus on its Battlefield 3 marketing campaign as well as Star Wars. They also want to avoid getting crushed under Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3, Call of Duty, and other games, and not to mention Skyrim.

But, if it helps people feel better, sure they want to "polish it up".

Wikipedia has some additional information. I'm note quite sure why we should, particularly, worry about Doomsday predictions based on the bible (rather than some other piece of religious writing) or the Mayan calender (Y2K38 is a more pressing issue since my computer is using Unix time and not Mayan time)

[JustHonest]

they delayed it because most of the people on here **** about ME2 so much. They just wanted to throw a little **** you back to the forums is all

[TobiTobsen]

The real reason is that they have to redesign Ashleys Armor. No more catsuit!
