I would wait however long it took. I actually am always glad, no matter how much I am anticipating a game, to hear when they are taking longer. Make it awesome. Take your time.

BioWare was working on ME3 since they started working on ME1...

[TheMightyG00sh]

I would have. The deadline was squeezed by EA and that's why I think BioWare:

a. Gave us a photoshopped stock photo for Tali's face.
b. Gave next to zero plot to any romance story arc in ME2.
c. Rushed the ending creatnig plotholes in ME1 and rendering ME2 nothing but filler.

of course all of the fans would have waited - but stockholders don´t want to wait, so it is important to get the money in as fast as possible and provide solid business numbers for them. artistic integrity my a**.

[Muhvitus]

if the ending would've been excellent and more content added to main game, i could've waited for a year. I'd love to see ship-to-ship boarding action and using warmap to direct war so that you would've had more troops in the ending (strategical minigame instead of finding random ships/fleets on planets).

I not only would have waited...I still AM waiting:

As far as I'm concerned, ME3 hasn't been released until this is fixed.  And really, I have no problem with waiting a long time.  But my worry is that it won't ever be fixed.  In which case, to me, ME3 will never be released.

Which wouldn't be the end of the world, but would be unfortunate...

I would have waited even two years more if I will receve complete game in the end. Rushed products sucks.

Absolutely, I would have waited for as long as Bioware needed to deliver the blockbuster we were all looking forward to and anxiously hoping for.

I was encouraged when Bioware announced ME3 would not be available in late 2011, but in early 2012.  I took it as a sign they needed the extra time to ensure they delivered the very best game ever made.

And they did - almost. 

Such a shame!  Heartbreaking, in fact, given my affinity for the trilogy as a whole.

[Khayness]

Hell yes.

[onchristieroad]

Of course. Wouldn't everyone? (As long as it didn't turn into a Duke Nukem situation)

ME3 did not get the time it needed to really finish the epic trillogy in a way it deserved.

EA doesn't care about what a franchise deserves or not and what it emotionally means to it's fans. They only care for how much pre-orders a brandname can bring in. And as long as pepple keep pre-ordering and buying on Day 1 that attitude will not change.

Now we are left with an incredibly dissappointing ending that will always be like that...it can not be undone. ME3s ending is already a meme in a negative way and will enter game history as such. The franchise did not deserve this.

As much as I would have hated more waiting, and as much as I was literally counting down days to ME3's release for...quite some time, I must agree with these sentiments, however am not entirely sure it was a time issue.

Mass Effect 3 simply was not finished correctly. Going back and replaying sections and pondering the ending more and more, it very much as a feel of 'we just want to get this out the door already'. On a first run playthrough, many of these issues don't really get noticed in the excitement, but when going back through, it becomes readily more apparent that the game seems to suffer from the above sentiment and some other issues, Feature Creep seeming amongst the largest of them (we have to get a poweful melee component in here, we need mounted gun shooting gallery sections, etc).

The more I ponder/replay parts of the game, the more the game and story really seem to feel less and less thought through. In some ways, the game feels like it's a "lets see what everyone we met 6 months ago is doing now!" type deal, which, while I can understand wanting and indeed needing to revisit these characters, seems to be done in too much of a "magically fortuitous" way as opposed to in ME2 where a lot of it was "TIM knows you worked with these people before, knows they're useful, and you go back out to get them again". In ME2, you purposefully seek out Garrus again because TIM gives you directions and knows they're familiar with the situation and useful, as opposed to ME3 where you show up in the middle of the Turian home system on a completely unrelated mission and find Garrus 10 mintues in.


I'm not sure whether ME3 was just rushed, enthusiasm was waning, or was simply less well thought out, a severe case of groupthink amongst the upper development staff that overtook the project, some/all of the above or something else entirely. But it becomes readily apparent the more you really start looking at the game that there was a problem(s).

It was/is a lot of fun, and a lot of the writing is stellar, but the entirely inappropriate ending to ME3 really serves to powerfully focus the subsquent attention on the games flaws that otherwise may have been overlooked or ignored otherwise.

Now, ME3 had roughly as much if not slightly more time between it's predecessor and its own release as ME2 did IIRC. Given that fact, and the way the game ended up along with the ending sequence apparently not being planned out until October/November of last years, I'm not sure additional time really may have helped anything in this case.

Would I have been willing to wait longer if it would have? Hell yes, but given what we've heard about the development of the game, I'm not sure it would.

as a customer, why on earth would i want to force a company to sell me a unfinished product?

of course i would have waited.

[BladyMZ]

...or, they could do what CD Projekt RED had done with Witcher 2 - release a good game and then use all the feedback from fans to enhance it to Mighty Fine Status.

Mass Effect 3 is clearly unpolished (I would'nt say unfinished), there is a difference of light and day when doing, lets say, N7 mission after Tuchanka - actually, all the missions apart from the main-main ones are sub-par...
