I would have, ME2 got three years and it had a lot more content than ME3. Games with choices that effect gameplay, such as alternate dialogue and endings etc in my opinion need that time. I wonder if the ending would have been very different if they had the option of 6 more months.

[Ghost Rider LSOV]

Could have waited.

EA wouldn't.

The game was due out last December, but BioWare pushed the delivery to March. I can't remember a single post that complained about it. Nobody wanted a half baked game. Had BioWare said August or November instead of March, I can't imagine the fans not tolerating it. As for myself, I would much prefer a longer wait to a crappy experience.

[Clone 071]

YES! Hell, I would've waited as long as possibly need be for BioWare to have made sure the game was ready and us fans would be satisfied and overjoyed with the endings.

Yup, same here.

Of course.
Full games live with you for years. People still talk about and cherish the good games.They get remade and spinoffs, they get made into franchises, they become legends in themselves.   
Deadlines are to make a reasonable profit on the investment and to make the production focus on what is important and Make the game instead of dreaming it. Deadlines should not be made to earn an extra buck before end of Quarter or to try and incentivise DLCs. That is putting the cart infront of the horse. 
EA and now Bioware seem to have forgotten that delivering excrementalproducts won't be profitable in the long run no matter how good your former repuation were or how strong the IP used to be.  
 
After watching the design choices, strategy and player feedback that gone into earlier products and into competing products I can't fathom what kind of complete managerial clusterfrack led to the last 10-15 minutes of ME3. Did someone murder someone in the BW offices and needed an distraction while dragging the corpse out? Because that seem to be the only logical explaination to voluntarily inviting this shiitstorm to happen. 
 
Heck I'm convinced just 1-2 weeks of reworking/rewording and tweaking the ending would have probably saved it, despite the very lackluster ideas behind it. If you just read the script to any gamer and looked at their faces then I'm sure BW could have found very cheap (like their business model demands) workarounds.  

Now they are going to deliver those cheap workarounds in a DLC and it's going to be utterly transperent how far they sunk when it comes to managing game development under the shadow of EA.

Before the release I would've said no. Now...now I would wait a year if it meant a better game that included a better ending, a better battle for earth, and LOTSB style missions for your ME2 squadmates.

[Hexley UK]

Definetely.

So many of the missions were just scanning - point in case - the mission to get Elcor War Assets, I thought it would be a proper mission on the Elcor homeworld. It wasn't, all we got was some scanning. It was so much wasted potential.

In defense of the current Elcor mission, the gravity would probably be too strong for a human to stand... let alone fight reapers.

I see your point however and agree that they should have taken more time with this game. I certainly would have waited.

The REAL important question is:

If you never knew about the endings 'controversy', would you have waited another 6-8 months for Mass Effect 3?

Actually, yes. My friends and I found it oddly suspicious when the original release date was 2011. That was less than 2 years after ME2. We were glad for the game's delay to March, honestly, because we thought they wanted everything polished and perfect. Too bad I was wrong. It's a great game, but in my opinion, the ending wasn't the only thing wrong with it. It definitely needed another year in my view.

[adam32867]

heck i would of waited longer.

[CaWBenSkywalker]

Anyone else scared to think of what the game would have been if it was released back in winter of '11 like the first estimate was. Well maybe there wouldn't have been time for multiplayer so all resources would have gone to single player and make the game turn out differently.

[AlphaDormante]

I probably would have been upset if it had been delayed again...but nowhere near as much as I am about things as they stand now. And the extra polish would have been worth it.

[BillyBrinks2]

 Yep. 

[GorrilaKing]

Of course!

[VlPER007]

Absolutely!  I so would have waited longer to get a properly finished game with an ending that made sense.

[gosimmons]

Indeed.

[TudorWolf]

Definitely would have waited.

As it is, it's pretty safe to say it was rushed out to beat the end of the fiscal year next month, and it really shows.

[Ingu]

Not like I'd have a choice, but if it was actually complete then there wouldn't be this insane disappointment and backlash, not to mention ME3 would be more likely to get all the awards it deserves. So, I'd be more than happy to wait.

[Ona Demonie]

Yes. Hell. ****ing. Yes. A game that isn't rushed is a good game. I can't stress that enough.

[coldwetn0se]

Was more than willing to wait. I started in on the series late (big DA fan), so I was fine making and RPing new Shepards in ME and ME2. I could have waited as long as it took to get a better RPing experience (more choices + more content= more replayability), MUCH better use of the ME2 squad (miss my Thane and Samara....actually ALL of the ME2 squaddies!).

I could have waited for glitches/bugs to be fixed, better animation graphics (some of the glitchiness in the animation was quite funny, but immersion breaking for sure), more player choice dialogue, more equality in LI arcs for the ME2 LI's, and more choices for the endings.

Oh yeah, and more Thane.....guess I already said that, but........

well duh.

I tend to prefer buying a full game instead of just 2/3 of one.

[thepimpto]

Yes. Yes. Yes. I could have waited forever. Hell, I'm still waiting for KotOR3.

[OMEGAlomaniac]

I would have waited as long as it took. It's a shame almost no company takes "as long as it takes" anymore.

[Terraforming2154]

Of course, I would have happily waited as long as they needed to make a complete and polished game.
