I started/finished Mass Effect for the first time a year ago. The reason I postponed the game was that the game is a shooter genre. But when I started I was like "why didn't anybody tell me about headshots?!? They're so fun!" Also the story helped a lot Headshots?? Intriguing! I'm still at the "so.. why do I have to switch guns?" stage. But yeah, I'm only playing for the story. I enjoy combat in sword and magic type games, but not shooters. Maybe ME will change my mind.

Yeah, I'm bad at close combat. I get panicked when surrounded by enemies so keeping my distance from the enemies and taking them out one by one was really great. I hate husks btw.

ME3 Multiplayer, a.k.a the only part of ME3 worth playing.
And I play a few racing games in between when my internet plays up.

Guild Wars 2. Spent 6 hours doing some of the chapters. One bonus to MIA for almost two years, lots of story to catch up. I don't even recognise Lion's Arch any more I played a lot of Guild Wars 1 but i have not yet played Guild Wars 2 though . I'm afraid I didn't play the first one. What drew me to GW2 was the absence of mthly subs. I'm not a hardcore mmorpg player who'd want to grab all the top gear or whatever so I'm pretty relax when I pop in there. If I can get them with reasonable effort, I'll do it but I won't grind. I'll occasionally join the gameguild in guild events, usually over the weekends. The gameworld is beautifully rendered and big; land and underwater. The combat is dynamic and fluid. I can dodge, I can swap weapons in the middle of the battle with all the necessary skills coming into play. I chose to go with one class as the main. The Ranger. Because ... PETS!
Moreover, there's no unhappiness over collection of mats or killing of mobs I see in previous mmorpgs. A lode now gives to everyone and people joining in a fight is encouraged, everyone gets loot and xps. There's no longer yours or mine. It's ours. This is a big thing when the game first launched. A vast improvement over the old game mechanics and an encouragement towards positive and beneficial social dynamics for a mmorpg. Players now help each other instead of jumping on one another, saving fallen players and aiding when they can. Joining of guilds is no longer restricted to just one. Cooperation among guilds is encouraged.
Crafting is also easier. Mats are now neatly slotted automatically into their caetegories once it's loaded into storage. There's no longer a need to search for a particular item. Crafting the same number of items is no longer time consuming and tedious, it goes very fast. For personal stories, get killed in boss fights, there's no reset which is a relief. After been away for almost two years, I have a lot of chapters to catch up.
The devs have their sense of humor. I did a chapter yesterday and found I couldn't kill the big boss in a labyrinth. He kept reviving. It completely befuddled me and caused some frustration. It took me some time to realise the boss is essentially Mr Pacman and I and the NPCs with me are the ghosts. All I have to do is keep out of his way.
I named the wolf Aria. I got a kind of scorpion that I named Garrus.

Gliding in GW2. Gliding in the air. Wheeeeeee. I bought a pair of raptor wings (glider skins) so I've a pair of spread wings when I glide. It's pretty fun. No more worries about falling; I think it will work for most regions, except underwater of course. Wonder if they'll give us underwater critters to ride next. That'll be a first. There're six levels to gliding, wonder what're the rest.

I had hoped to finish Life Is Strange on Friday but the game glitched on me. Black screen. I haven't found a solution yet.
Also, finally got around to buy a pack with Portal and Portal 2, which I shall start momentarily.

My buddies and I all got Grim Dawn while it was on sale and now we've started a run. I'm an Elementalist, but what I do is mostly shoot fire pellets at stuff with my big blunderbuss.

Finished playing King's Bounty: Dark Side. Damn game crashed so many times Even one of achievements didn't register because of that (not to mention one achievement that is completely bugged and you can't get it even if you meet requirements). But! I got to crush Light Side! And build my own, small harem as the Demoness As for what now... I'm still thinking about replaying Borderlands 2 or ME2. Torchlight 2 is also staring at me. Or maybe in the end I'll play something completely new for me.

I'm currently downloading Elegy for a Dead World from Steam. It looks really compelling and innovative. "Explore dead civilizations, write about what you find, and share your stories with the universe: a game about writing fiction." With a description like that, I kinda can't say no. It's also 55% off right now, so that helps.

Three days after the forum closing announcement, I bought all three The Witcher games and I'm still on the first game. After I finish those games, I'm going to start my first DAI male elf and base his looks on Onecrazymonkey's avatar, using her sliders and suggested mods (with some tweeks to make him my own).
I had never planned to play The Witcher but Bioware's decision made me want to set DAI aside for a while.

On Guild Wars 2. The story is really good, I'm enjoying it despite boss fight frustrations now and then. They have included some real cutscenes with drawn images so it's a nice mix. My toon is suddenly speaking during personal quests now occasionally taking place in the gameworld. Usually it's speech balloons. Wow. The new zones are intimidating, huge, with jungle "decks" and new mobs. They also introduced a new mode of travel. Gliding! I bought a pair of raptor wings, it's just a skin, and went off to soar in the air. There're a few skills to train for gliding so I'm looking forward to those. Mushrooms to jump on; Mr Mario! to higher levels of the jungle and then a slow swirl down to the bottom. Beats running to hot spots. I'm waiting to see if they will intro underwater critters in future since there is underwater quests, etc. All they have to do is expand the underwater realm. Ride a shark, ride a dolphin, a whale. An octopus? Picked up a new pet, a young drake. Reminds me of Toothless; not in looks.

Diablo 3 Season 7 for the stash tab (and getting closer to 10M kills, at 6.5M atm). Next will be DE:HR, last try at getting "Pacifist" and preparation for Mankind Divided. After that I'll FINALLY finish building new PC. Or so I hope.
