Mass Effect: Andromeda release date: March 21, 2017

I agree, of course the catch might be that those packs have a better return on getting a rarer item then ones in the store.  To me I might have more interest then I do now if I was able to get all 20 at once instead of over 20 weeks when I might not be playing the game anymore.  Its a lot like a Season Pass, for I don't know if I would be playing the game 6+ months after buying it to play all the DLC that I pre-ordered.

I pre-ordered the Super Deluxe on Origin, Deluxe edition for the PS4 and Xbox One because I can - so Origin says Spring, spring would be what around March?

Yeah I've ordered the deluxe version don't play multiplayer so don' t need the extra's for that but am interested in all the single player stuff.

Doubtful.
For the past year they have been saying early 2017. Which means Jan-March. Notice now all reports are saying spring 2017.

Which means March-May.

The game is clearly not coming out in Jan-Feb, and even March (the offical art book comes out in this month) is looking shaky. The game has "delayed" written all over it, yet Bioware won't just come out and say it.

well they've also been saying Q1 2017 so that to me says early spring March time than later in the spring

Nope no specific bonuses however if you're on PC I'd advise you to buy your copy on Origin to be sure you get all the bonuses.

They can't come out and say anything if their internal estimate still have March as a deadline and as of last week, that was still the case going by some tweets.

Again they said Spring, they never said March, people made up the March release because they assumed that the artbook and the game should come out at the same date. However this could not be the case as EA said in an interview they have no problem delaying the game if BW feels the need for it.

Even assuming they intended to release it on March (even though this is our assumptions) they (BW and EA) conveniently picked Spring 2017 as a release date which would shield them from saying openly that the game was delayed because technically it's Spring till the 21st of June. I agree with you though that the fact they didn't announced the game date means they are going to release it later than March. I'm more inclined to a late April or early May release.

I might be wrong though.

Depends on how fast they're working right now and whether or not there will be setbacks in development. They only delay the game if they aren't on-schedule by january or so.

Fuck your and your vile fear-mongering.


Bioware has always been fucking saying early 2017 and Spring 2017. I can't remember a time where they didn't say otherwise aside from an internal late 2016 release.



No shit the game isn't coming out in Jan or Feb, they would have announced a release date by now. A release date will likely be announced within 2-3 months before release.



What the fuck do you mean "shaky"? Why the fuck would an artbook release before a game? As of now, the art book is still set to release March 21st, and even the a writer of Bioware has said that the game is still set to release in March, and in an interview today it was explained they are very confident they will make the release date.




The game has delayed written all over it? So when I purchase the game it will have black stamped "delays" written all the game case?





The game has no clear signs of a delay aside from that investor call explaining Bioware will delay if they must, and even then Bioware is making fantastic progress and has no need to delay.





If the game is delayed I will eat a bag of elephant dicks.

Yes.

One of the most noticable cases of aggressive optimism about Mass Effect Andromeda I've seen lately

Of course it's legit...
