The PC edition of Mass Effect has been pushed to May 28 in North America and June 6 in Europe, developer BioWare has revealed. Co-developed by Demiurge Studios, the Xbox 360-to-PC port of the sci-fi RPG was originally slated to arrive on May 6.

"A few more weeks in the studio will ensure we deliver the quality that our fans deserve," BioWare community coordinator Chris Priestly wrote on the developer's forums.

"The additional time will allow us to incorporate more play-testing feedback, add extra polish and tune the additional features so that Mass Effect is a natural and outstanding PC gaming experience," he continued.

I am totally ok with devs taking the risk to the consoles with the bigger market as long as they come home to loyal PC gamers with improved content. We will always be here with our PCs and we have more refined taste anyway, let them release beta quality content for the consoles...I'll wait for the PC port.

I am not entirely against this "pay me to make this release first in a console, then make a PC a version with enhanced whatever plus all the polish and bug fixing since the initial launch". It probably keeps developers fed, and a few months behind doesn't really matter if the good games start piling up, as it happeend (to me, at least), during 2007.

Did anyone else find Mass effect to be really over-rated? Honestly the storyline (usually a strong point for a Bioware RPG) was boring, the combat system weak, and don't even get me started on the side quests. Which usually consisted of clearing out enemies on random planets in underground bunkers that always looked the same. I have always loved Bioware RPGs, and usually find myself gripped by them to the end. Yet with mass effect I had to force myself just to finish it.
