ME delayed untill 2012

I hope they're not just doing this so they don't have to compete with the other big releases.
 
You could look at it as them wanting to get it done right and not rushing it out for the holidays. I prefer the optimistic approach.
 
I would rather this spent more time in development after the dissapointment I felt with DA2.

If it was being published from somebody other than EA I would take that view. Unfortunately EA has pushed back games before without taking advantage of the time to deliver an improved product.

But I can't really fault them for not wanting to compete against themselves when Battlefield 3 is also coming out this Fall.
 
That's fine. I view that as a "good delay" because I don't want them to rush it. Tons of other games coming out around the time this thing was originally.
 
They are releasing later so they can have more day 1 DLC.:eek: JK...
 
Wooo hoo!! Now I can really focus on Skyrim and not be wondering about ME3 the whole time! Nice.

Exactly how I feel about it. It'll be nice to have ME 3 to look forward to after I've burned myself out on Skyrim...and then it'll be back and forth between the two games. ;)
 
They will push the completion date early.

Move the team to other project to rush out and still release this late anyway due to marketing concerns competing with other large releases.

It is all about numbers to these dbags.

This.

Also, I still have doubts that TESV will make it out this year.

The only other major project they have announced is TOR and they won't be moving their team from Canada to Texas to work on it. And why wouldn't they want to release it away from other big games? Thats called being intelligent.
 
I think after the hub-bub about DA2, this extra couple of months will be well utilized by Bioware. It can't hurt...
 
Also, was anybody here actually expecting this to ship in 2011? I never believed that for a second.

That's about right. Though I'm hoping I won't get burned from Skyrim for at least a half a year.

After the DA2 rush, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want the devs to make sure it's solid and polished.
 
Don't mind all that much. Not like there's a shortage of amazing-looking titles on the way, coupled with that whole summer thing.
 
well they said now that its being delayed to widen the audiance appeal.. so that means dumbed down.
 
Aka

MARKETING DEAL$$$

They are not making the game any better or different. It is EA, defend them at your own risk.

Not like I care. Whenever it is $10 I will get it.

It's been a long time since EA has done anything I would consider to be that shitty. Except release DA2, obviously.
 
I'm in no rush for Mass Effect 3...I mean I like the games, but Battlefield 3 and Skyrim are very likely to eat my gaming time alive for at least three months after their respective releases. I do feel for those who are really hanging out for ME3, though.

This and yeah I do too. Have to admit the first two games were interesting enough for me to play through to the end. However, I would bet my virgin bunghole this is about money more than polishing the game.
 
Good it will give me more time to get killed in interesting and numerous ways in BF3.
 
It's just as well I guess... maybe I'll have time to get through my backlog of 10+ games on Steam I still haven't played... too many games, too little time

I have to agree with this sentiment. As much as I want to hate EA when I look at my games shelf the majority are published by EA so they're obviously doing something right lol. Dragon Age 2 being the exception. I didn't even bother finishing that POS.
 
That kind of delay is not a big deal -- pushes it to ~2 years between games, which is hardly something I'd complain about as I just want to know how it ends. Plus, it gives me plenty of time to do a full play-through of the first two again.
 
I am hoping that some of the DA2 backlash made EA re-evaluate their approach to ME3.

You can tell DA2 isn't going according to plan because they haven't even released a pile of DLC for it yet :p
 
Sounds like more shooter, less RPG. I actually liked the more linear ME2 than the more open ME1, but I really hope they don't overdo it with ME3. I was looking forward to them keeping the ME2 style, but adding more RPG elements like loot and armor/weapon customizing.

As long as they keep the AWESOME storyline, I'm sure I'll love it.
 
They are going to make it into a COD clone lol

If they do, our heads WILL explode for reals.
 
If Bioware fails to deliver with ME3, their forums will implode.
 
One of the developers on Twitter:

"Let me make this simple: we are improving both the RPG and Shooter aspects of ME3"

I disagree. Most of the Bioware forums members just talk about what Tali's vagina smells like and if she could bear Shepard's baby.
