This is good news for me...Now I won't have to feel bad choosing between ME3 and Skyrim 8)spazzx625
LOL, and what are you going to say when Skyrim gets delayed? A lot more delays are coming folks. We won't have jack to play this holiday. You release this means another long year of waiting, right?
This doesn't really matter. Let them take their time and make the game as amazing as possible. What this does do however is eliminate many people's GOTY for 2011.
Good, I want the game to be good, and seeing as it seems more ambitious than both Mass Effect games, I think it probably needs to take time to develop.
I see the good it gives them more time to make sure everything in the game is as close to perfect as can be. That's what I want from this game and that's what the trilogy deserves. On the side of me that wants to be selfish I feel upset that i'll have to wait even longer for the game. The waiting will only kill me though because I know how legendary this game will be and I want to experience it as soon as possible.
At the risk of sounding redundant I'm not surprised either. Most games with a Dec 31st release date never get released that year. Frankly the more time they spend on it ME3 hopefully the better it will be. Plus I will be buying so many games this fall a I don't really mind a few delays.
Gives BioWare more time to polish it and flesh it out. Can only be a good thing. And like others have said, gives me more time with everything else coming out this year.
They just don't want to compete with all the big games for GOTY...jk. This is good news because it will give them more time to make it perfect, and I will have more time to play Gears 3 and Battlefield 3.
Ugh...I saw that when I came to Gamespot a few minutes ago. The "end of year" release date did seem a bit shaky, so I'm not totally surprised. Let's just hope this is the only delay.
I'm thinking maybe they didn't want it competing with games like Gears of War 3 and possibly Zelda.
Also, it might be a tactic to drum up hype to maximize sales. It'll be an awesome game, though.
Im really not suprised at all, especially with a ton of good games coming out this fall like Skyrim, Gears 3, Deus Ex. Usually the beginning of every year there is like 1 or 2 great games that come out and it looks like Mass effect 3 will be one of them.
Sad news, but I'd rather they put out a solid game than a weak one. You can't take a bad game back once it's out there, and Bioware needs to be on solid ground financially with TOR coming up pretty soon. Here's hoping that one's as great as they've been building it up to be.
Ya Im ok with this, Ill be hitting GOW3 so hard Ill have no time for ME3, by the time it rolls around Ill be off my high blood splattering high and ready for some more fantasy rpg style playing.

I kind of expected it since the release date kept on saying Dec 31, 2011. On their part it was a good move. This fall will already be too crowded and it gives them more time to make a better polished product. If I waited this long I can wait a little longer.
I'm not really all that disappointed. The end of the year was going to kill my wallet if Mass Effect 3 came out to. Plus now Mass Effect 3 can fill that "Beginning of the Year" void for me next year. :D
I think its half and half.. it wont crash with other games and hopefully its not going to be like dragon age 2 which we all know sucked. The bad half is i dont know if i can wait that long :(
Good news. That means it won't be rushed, and in the long run, that matters.

This is exactly how I feel. I've always been worried about a game like this having a 2011 release date. They need to make this game amazing.
Honestly though, did anyone truly think this would be rushed? Most games only have a two year dev cycle. Two and a half years is plenty for Bioware to do there thing. But if their getting another half year to build it, I'm not complaining.
This'll give me some time to get acquainted the new Battlefield & (although I expect it to be delayed) Skyrim. I'm also kind of glad that I don't have to grieve for the series just yet.

honestly, I was afraid they'd rush it. Dragon Age 2 had some nasty bugs upon release. I prefer to wait and play a great game over playing a rushed and thereby spoilt game sooner.
