CloseI'm currently playing SoulCalibur V from time to time. Mostly making custom characters that look like characters from other games...
Besides that I decided to give Final Fantasy XIII-2 a try. It's not too bad so far, but I'm still early in the game.

I also heard you need to play multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 to get a better ending, I might get into Galaxy Of War and see how I do.

360 or PS3?
Fighting RMNers is a lot of fun. Link_2112 and I had some good fights in SoulCalibur IV that were great fun.

I really hope not. I hate developers making an aspect of what I bought the game for (SINGLE PLAYER) depend on a bullshit tack on that makes me regret purchasing the thing and funding such general fucking around in the first place (MULTIPLAYER).
As it stands, I'm amazed they didn't just pull a Kotor3/TOR routine and make the third mass effect game an mmo that takes place 300 years in the future and is exclusive to a platform entirely different from what I played the first two on!
Got an old-school itch again, playing Might and Magic 3 : Isles of Terra. Again, but this time I actually know what I am doing (a bit), and I am keeping notes of all the various things I encounter. Last time I was totally lost, but this time, I am having a BLAST (from the past... haha).
Another game that I will probably play after I finish with MM3 is Champions of Krynn, from the SSI Gold Box games. Need to try one of those, since many people consider the Gold Box games pure rpg gold.
Once you get over the graphics (easy) and over the horrible interfaces (HARD, but doable), there are pretty unique RPG games to experience. Todays games simply dont offer some of the cool things that old rpgs did. When was the last time that a turn based RPG like Might and Magic or Gold Box games came out (for PC).
Only the indie RPG scene tries to keep some of those ideas flowing, like the Avernum series for example.
I just wish there was some major release of a turn based role-playing game where you can create the whole party, with deep stats, big world to explore, preferably 2D, but with updated looks and interface. Too bad that no big company would even risk a game like that nowadays.
(I know there are plenty of turn-based (and sometimes party-based) JRPGs on the various consoles, but they are very different from those old western RPGs that appeal so much to me)

Finally started Lunar: Eternal Blue for the Sega CD today, after finishing the first game roughly 3~ years ago. Lol.

I already got the galaxy rating around 60% so It helps.
Depends on in single player on the chooses you make.

Reply to the spoiler:
I'm only as far as Rannoch right now, so if you're talking end game Tali death, I guess I'll get there eventually. The Upload the Reaper Code vs Let the Geth die choice actually lets you save both the Geth and Tali. I had enough paragon that when I refused to upload the code, I got the chance to rally the fleet, allow Legion to make the upload, and get the Quarians to cease fire. The only downside is that Legion has to 'die' to disseminate the rest of the reaper code and grant true intelligence to the Geth.

He's called Geth IV in my game, only because it's annoying that ME3 has a problem with importing saved games from me-me2

I heard about importing issues and was worried about that. In mine, the only thing that didn't transfer over was the character's appearance.
Bought Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for £1.50. It's..okay so far, although the controls seem a bit...clunky? idk.

Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed by the ending I got in Mass Effect 3. My literal first thoughts as the credits started to roll were "Five years, three games, the price of a fourth or more in total dlc purchases... for that?"
I waited through the credits, hoping for something at the end to improve it, and the one brief scene I got only made me kind of facepalm in a "They went there, alright. I saw it coming as soon as I realized |REDACTED|, but I figured it was just accidental, and that they weren't actually going there. But they did." sort of way.
Maybe it was just the ending choice I selected. Maybe one of the other options (saying that you get a Deus Ex style three way choice at the end isn't too big of a spoiler, I hope) will feel a little better, but I kind of doubt it.
There were a few really good moments along the way, almost all of which would be spoilers, but the ending just feels rushed or forced. They wrote themselves into a corner and the only way out was a quick left turn through a brick wall.
One thing to note is that as I was walking to the ending choice area I picked, I kept trying to rationalize things from my Shepard's point of view. "I have my orders... but I'm a human being, should I..." and when I finally decided to turn around and go back for one of the other choices, it was too late. I tilted the stick back to turn around, and a cutscene took over. Maybe that is part of why I feel so dissatisfied, that my Shepard was actually having second thoughts about what he was doing, but had passed the point of no return. If that makes any sense.
I guess Bioware succeeded with their plan, since they did get my money, and I guess it says something that I've never had this exact mix of feelings on beating any other video game (or finishing a film or book series for that matter), but I'm not convinced this feeling is a positive one. I mean, all three games and dlc together, I've probably got over 100 hours into this character, and the ending I received just didn't do it for me.
The first time I beat ME2, I imported another one of my ME1 chars almost immediately to try playing the game with a different class build. I don't feel that urge with this one right now
EDIT -
Explaining the "They went there" and some other stuff too - Spoiler-ish for ME1-3
The whole Shepard = Jesus = The shepherd thing
Saviour of humanity (and everyone else), rises from the dead, the council denies him three times, he gathers disciples, temptation by the devil (Illusive Man), heals the sick (Nice application of medi-gel...), raises the dead (Rachni), etc...
I don't know, maybe it is just me, but it all combined into a single moment when I heard them tack "the" onto Shepard. It just made my eyes roll so hard I thought I might have detached a cornea or something.
This also doesn't even touch on the fact that if the relays all go nova when they are destroyed, ala Arrival, then "The Shepherd" technically killed everything, everywhere... except the squad mates who were impossibly on the Normandy, which would mean the Stargazer and little boy were the product of a new civilization solely distilled from the Normandy's crew, which could be problematic considering how many of them turned out to be Hetero-flexible, at best.
What I would have liked/My take on how it should/could have ended (everyone has one...)-
I almost think I could have swallowed a "the reapers actually won, the ending(s) are all a dying dream" easier then the mess they presented. I figured the two squadmates I took with me, namely Garrus and Liara (love interest), were killed by Harbinger's beam anyway.
Barring the Jacob's Ladder effect, I still figured Anderson was a hallucination, as well as the Illusive man.
They really beat the devil and angel on your shoulder thing to death. I expected the last choice of the game to be either shooting Anderson or the Illusive man, signifying which path you wanted to take, seeing them disappear and revealing they were just constructs in Shepard's fractured mind. Having made his decision to either kill or control the reapers symbolically, he would wake back up and stagger forward to activate the crucible.
In my version of the ending there would be no super AI child who saves every organic by killing them, just an old soldier's tortured pysche cracking under the strain of losing so many friends in the war and making the final decision.
And the relay's would have remained in tact!
Even if my Shepard keeled over and died after the last button press, I think I would have been a lot happier with that version of the ending.
Where the Reapers came from was never that important to me, and I didn't need to have a pointless chat with some ascended ai god to hand wave them at the last minute!
They could have capped it off with a nice Fallout style voice over about how each civilization fared after the battle.
