More than anything, Mass Effect 3 felt like it suffered from developer fatigue and crunch to get it out on time.
It looks like those rumors about the fourth installment in the Mass Effect franchise being delayed until 2017 are true.
That appears to be what Bioware is hoping to avoid doing all over again by pushing back the release date for Mass Effect 4.
Bioware states they want to “deliver everything the game can be and should be,” and after the very mixed reception Mass Effect 3 received, maybe this is the right decision.
