What are you playing right now?

[Zerith]

I'm further than you both, just wrapping up work with the Quarians.

And the Prothean character is awesome (if you grabbed the dlc)

[Atzar]

I play Civ V from time to time, but that's the only game right now that I'll play for long lengths of time. Other than that, I'll play Super Mario World, Link to the Past, Mario Kart 7, and a few other games that I'll play for an hour or so in a sitting.

I just spent my weekend burning myself out on Tera Online. It's a fun game and I'd probably invest in it, but I've decided that 1) I'll burn out fast, 2) I will get nothing done, 3) I don't want to invest financially in it, and 4) that it'll probably flop in a few month anyways.

Installing ME3 now. Will play through the single player in the downtime between playing online with orphans and others on PC multiplayer. Beta was fun.

Runescape is always there for me, as is the occasional MW3 matches, on PC as well.

Maybe Diablo 3 will be good, but we'll see.

I'm actually where you're at right now, Zerith, the very end of the quarian mission. Letho, this spoiler is for ahead of where you're at.

Spoiler:

Did you manage to let Legion sacrifice himself, -and- save the Quarians? I tried to let him sacrifice the first time, but then Tali jumped off the cliff, so I reset my game and had to let Tali use that knife she's never used but always had.

I just started playing multiplayer shortly after that, as my heart wasn't oin it after seeing that name on the memorium.

[Revenant]

Working my way alternately through Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 13. And the wife just convinced me to start up Kingdom Hearts again.

Deus Ex Human Revolution is up after that.

Out of curiosity, what class are you folks playing in Mass Effect? For those who didn't get around to 3 yet, which class you played/preferred in previous installments?

I play the Infiltrator. Always. In multiple walkthroughs. A sniper is just my class, it's what I play in all shooters anyways and I'll be damned if I won't play it in a shooter/RPG. Granted, classes make little difference in 2 and 3, but in the first Mass Effect it made a hell of a difference. You were usually stuck with class-specific weapons (sniper and pistol for Infiltrator) because the rest you couldn't use efficiently and you could decrypt and unlock stuff other people can't (I think engineers might also unlock stuff, but not sure).

In 2 and 3, class basically just determines the special ammo and some skills you get, but you can basically play it with any weapon from my experience. I mean, I'm currently using an assault rifle and a sniper rifle (just bought the Black Widow for whooping 250000 credits) and I'm kicking major ass. I used to go with the heavy pistol because an Infiltrator is supposed to use one, but after a while I found it has no benefits over the assault rifle other than the faster power recharge. And that's really no match for the stopping power of an assault rifle, especially an accurate one like the Mattock or whatever it's called.

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

I went with a Soldier during the eight or so hours I threw into the original Mass Effect. Messing around with the biotics and stuff never appealed to me. Sadly, I just couldn't get into the game as much as other people. I'm always up for a well-crafted sci-fi universe, but the game itself didn't do anything new for me.

[Silence Sei]

Beat the game last night, don't know why everyones up in arms aboot it so much.

Anyways, for first playthrough and insanity playthroughs, I also use infiltrator. Though I'm going to go back to 2 as FemShep Adept or Engineer I think.

[Keeper of the Oath]

I play as a Soldier. Although, I've been dabbling with the Slam bonus power I got from the DLC squadmate; I like it. I usually use the Mattock assault rifle, the Viper sniper (hehe), and a pistol.

I'm currently doing the quarian missions and I'm contemplating trying the Arc pistol. But it weighs so much!

[Letho]

Sei, how many hours did it take you to complete it? Just so I know how much I have left.


Also, I like Armor-piercing bonus power. Armored enemies are a pain in the ass and every bit of penetration power helps. Did anyone try Warp ammo yet? I'm not sure it's worth it since very few enemies have barriers so far.

EDIT: And in all honesty, other than the Mantis and the Black Widow (which kicks like a donkey when you fire it), most other sniper rifles I ran into are crap because they don't have enough bang. I always felt a sniper rifle should be one shot-one kill-long reload weapon that forces you to make the shot count and most other rifles have rather low damage and lots of ammo.
