I seriously hope they're not planning of posticipating the end of the review embargo. It won't be a smart move. But from the reddit post, maybe it's about the game's release? Agreed, it would be a bethesda, Dishonored 2 was not optimized at the start and the review also came on the day... I mean at least MEA came out as a trial to see the experience but to delay a review will cause a shitstorm... these forums will be lovely.

Oh, well.. Bad reviews incoming then.
First they schedule review embargo to the day before the midnight release... then they schedule the launch to hours before most reviews have a chance to be read I guess. They've seen the lukewarm previews and are responding to it immediately.

Colin Campbell @ccampbellart In our last 1:1 before his vacation, @sjosz and I discussed how we'll play ME:A MP together. We ended the 1:1 with "See you in Andromeda."

Not really, a lot of companies have done late review embargo's. The new Doom had an Embargo till the day before and almost everyone loved the game, you would figure they would want those out sooner to bolster pre-orders.

Oh, well.. Bad reviews incoming then. I don't see how it's going to help much in this case. People will make the connection with the early access. It'd be even worse then the reviews that normally come out the day of release/after because you changed the plan a few days before the embargo was supposed to come out.

Changing the embargo time is very interesting. If they push it back I'd wager it is a sign of bad reviews and a confidence issue in the game after the reactions to early access and press review copies. If they push it forward I'd wager it is a sign they feel confidant that the parts after the gating in early access will generate enough good press/impressions to change or off-set the growing concerns with the game that are circulating everywhere. All depends on how they change the date.
Very interesting regardless, especially this late in the game, to change the embargo date.

Cohh Carnage @cohhcarnageWoah... hmmm... Just got word the @masseffect Andromeda embargo times have changed... Info and new dates/times incoming ASAP. Hmm... To be honest, it would just make things worse if they pushed back the review embargo times. At this point, there's no way they could fix the game's technical issues within a reasonable time frame with a patch. The reviewers already have hours sunk into the game and have a mostly solid opinion at this point, a last second embargo extension won't change that. If anything, delaying the embargo times would just show that they are not confident in their product and would be seen by most as an "admission" that they "screwed up" with the game's launch, and how it should have been delayed. At this point, I think the best thing Bioware can do is either one of two things: 1) Just stay silent and let this storm of negativity pass. Then, in a week or two, release a blog post outlining their patch plans. Basically, continue with their current approach. 2) Release a blog post now, before the game releases, stating they realize the game has issues, and to take reviews with the context that patches should fix some, if not most, of these technical issues. That way, they send a firm message and tell everyone that it's ok, and issues will be fixed. Trying to sneakily change embargo times has the potential to backfire if the media reports the change in embargo times, in my opinion. In any case, guess we'll have to wait and see at this point.

https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/600er1/no_spoilers_game_releasing_early/ I'm not sure why they'd do this, but good if true.... That said, I'd like to see this confirmed by someone other than the local Gamestop in Florida. interesting. I was told the Gamestop calling thing (by someone who Gamestop called) was that some gamestops are holding pre-release 'parties' where you can pick up a preordered copy early, on the 20th.

My GameStop here in Ohio called yesterday to tell me the same thing. Didn't say anything about a party but did say they weren't doing a midnight release. Instead they'd be handing them out from 9-10pm Monday night.

Origin says it releases on Monday at 9 PM, too. Really mine, still says the 21st. That's sucks. I hope this applies to digital copies.

Steve Dwayne @stevedwayneds3 Please any chance to patch in quick save+allow saving on priority missions? Really frustrating to lose 20+ min of exploration Michael Gamble @gamblemikeWe are totally looking at it. It won't be day 1, but its something we are investigating - Is that an issue on the PC or just consoles?

This is probably my biggest concern that I fear will actually damage my experience with this game. I love saving and keeping track of my progress. the autosaves just aren't enough imo.

Showing that it's a long game, it takes 10 hours to get a bit more than 10 % of the game done.

I'm guessing the different release times are based on time zone. Mine is midnight EST, but that would be 9pm for someone across the country.
