Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 391

I'm hoping to get in a few rounds of GT Sport, FF7 Remake and and maybe, finally, start Horizon Zero Dawn on my trusty PS4. Just gotta get this pesky thing called work outta the way 🤪

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on PS4, working toward the Plat.
Quake on Switch.

I’ve barely had my PS5 for 2 weeks, and am having an absolute blast with it. Can’t believe how fast the SSD is - I’ve been playing Ratchet & Clank Rift apart, and Spider-man Miles Morales (both great) and haven’t seen one loading screen! Also, thanks to BC and devs dropping 4K/60 FPS patches, I’ve also been playing God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Borderlands 3. Looking forward to next month...Deathloop and Kena Bridge of Spirits.

Tormented Souls released yesterday without any hint on the PSN storefront. After I searched for the game I could finally buy it. This'll be my game for the weekend. Really enjoying it this far as a fan of old school RE and Silent Hill.

Replaying The last of us 2 on Ps5 👌

Had a week away so ready to get back to levelling in Like a Dragon. That’s between painting the house.

My summer break is nearly over and I'll be back to teaching soon enough...

... So I'll get as much gaming in as I can this last weekend of freedom!

I've been betrayed and my kingdom is now being invaded by trolls that are immune to fire in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. I've got two more party members at least to soften the blow? Rather enjoying myself with this CRPG still.

I finished Uncharted 2 and rather enjoyed it. So much so I started up Uncharted 3 which has also been rather fun with the addition of Charlie Cutter into the crew 😄

Have a good weekend everyone!

1. GOT: Iki island
2. Psychonauts 2
3. F1 (Belgian GP weekend 🏁🏎🏎)

Maybe some Spellforce3: Soul Harvest just to check it out.

Nioh 2, also will be playing Warhammer Chaosbane, need to complete game with one more class for platinum.

COD Vanguard Alpha PS5.
COD WWII PS4.
Tormented Souls PS5.

A surprise left turn for me this weekend, it’s finally horizon ZD in 60fps ❤️❤️❤️

Backlog time: Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Mark of the Ninja remastered.easily one of the best indie games ever made.sekiro shadows die twice.2019 game of the year.amazing game.and one of the best games ever made.and mafia definitive edition.easily top 5 best remakes ever made.watching good times and Sanford and sons marathon.and fear street 1978 horror movie.word up son

Batman Arkham Knight, bizarrely I am playing it on the Easy setting, because I want to finish it and but am finding it difficult to be bothered. Don't think comic book games are for me.

Been playinig Operancia on Switch (is also on PS4). I'm a fan of grid based first person Dungeon crawlers, starting with the classic Dungeon Master on the Atari ST. Its a genre you dont see much and this game totally passed me by when released.

A packed weekend. On the PS5 I'll be playing Aliens: Fireteam & the Vanguard alpha, on Xbox I'll be playing Psychonauts 2 (which is excellent so far!)

Playing psychonauts 2 and quake 1 remaster, and quake 2.

Psychonauts 2 is great, it's not that often we got platformer games like this, and I really like the weird story, if ratchet ps5 story is like a marvel movies with predictable start, middle, and ending, psychonauts 2 story is weird like pan labyrinth, I can't wait to see where the game story will take me 😃

Quake 1 is still good after all this time, this remaster clean the game quite nicely. I wish quake 2 is getting a remaster too, the game is kind of archaic both in graphics and settings compared to q1 remaster. The game is still fun though.

Finally got a PS5 with Ratchet and Clank as it arrived this morning but not allowing myself to play it until I get myself a new job. No Rift Apart for me so just my original Psychonauts run on my trusty PS4 Pro.

Playing the first Mass Effect game. The story and setting has totally reeled me in this time. Outstanding.

Just started Tormented souls, r type 2 final and agents of mayhem yesterday so those probably.

Destiny 2's new season. Maybe some Judgement, gotta finish it soon.

Returned to AC Odyssey with the 60fps upgrade and it's really nice. I hadn't finished Atlantis, so taking the opportunity.

Got a nice super long weekend, thank you Bank Holiday. So finally looking to finishing the zomble hordes in Days Gone and then moving onto Judgement or TLOU2 in case I need to scratch that survival itch.

Just here to chat with the Push Square community

Still cruising through FFXIV Shadowbringers content

Having finally finished the final act of Returnal, I can now feel satisfied to move on from Selene’s adventure to something new. First I’ll try and dust off the last of A Plague Tale, then I might start either FF7 Remake, Immortals Fenyx Rising, or Miles Morales. Also considering playing Uncharted 2. Decisions, decisions. 🤔

I've started Tokyo Xanadu mostly because it's from Falcom and I've never played it but enjoying it so far!

@Nightcrawler71 Lol the PS5 has spoiled me man, I played a game on my switch that had a 20-30 second loading screen and I felt slightly frustrated. I can't go back after having that near instant loading.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Wow Foxy has Summer break really gone by that fast? Also I've been mildly interested in getting into a CRPG, would recommend Pathfinder for a 1st timer? Also I really really love the Uncharted series glad it's been treating you well, the 4th game is so satisfying after playing the rest of the series.

Reached level 50 in Fall Guys and unlocked the black Superman Skin in Fortnite (finally).

Other than that, not much really. Kinda feel like I’m in a bit of a gaming slump at the moment. I want to play something awesome but I’ve scrolled through my library (500+ games) at least three times this week and there are loads of games I haven’t played but nothing appeals to me 🙄

@mwatcher Just wanna say I love that picture of Joker

Just finished Mas Effect 2 and the infamous Suicide Mission. I did...okay, didn't know that the start of it was time sensitive so beforehand I was exploring the galaxy and completing all side quests and probing all planets, including Uranus. 😃

But in the end three crew members died, two of which weren't loyal, and the galaxy was saved....for now.

Really good game and plan on playing 3 before the year is out.

Knowing I was getting to the end, thoughts turned to what to play next. After a lot of consideration I've decided to replay one game and mix things up with a new one.

Will start replaying The Last of Us today and then Miles Morales for something different, the latter probably tomorrow or Monday.

Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend!

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll be finishing Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island dlc, check out Jack-O in Guilty Gear Strive and continue my
Mass Effect 2 FemShep, Renegade, Infiltrator Insanity run.
Because why not. It´s Mass Effect and I love it 👍
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Th3solution Congrats on finishing Returnal, I remember back when you first started and it was kicking your butt and you were doubting your ability to complete. So I imagine it was so satisfying to see credits roll. Also if you start FF7, Miles, or Uncharted shoot me a tag, I'm always down to discuss those.

Just had to order a new ps4 controller as the d pad was messing up so playing some older games. Zack and wiki and sonic colours on wii.

Really taking advantage of my PS5 by playing Life is Strange: Before the Storm. I've had it for a long time now, but never played it for whatever reason even though I enjoyed the first one. Now I'll be ready for True Colors when that comes out.

I should be able to finish it by sometime this weekend, as I finished Chapter 2 last night. I just have the final chapter and then the bonus one for buying the Deluxe Edition. All kidding at the beginning of my comment aside, I'm highly enjoying it. Another really well done Life is Strange game.

Coming to terms with the worrying realisation that the Sackboy platinum isn't the walk in the park I thought it would be

@TraCuz- Thanks, bud. It was an immensely satisfying and enjoyable ride, even with the early frustrations. 😃 I’ve got to let it settle in my mind to see where my final all-time personal ranking for the game will be, but it will be pretty high.
And I’ll certainly drop a tag in the forums with early impressions of whatever I choose to go with.

Continuing my maiden play through of Judgement on PS5, superb game, on chapter 6 now and finally got to grips with the combat which is useful as there is a fight around every corner.

I've actually gone very Nintendo-based recently. BotW again, a hack of LttP that overhauls it massively, various other Zelda things with some other Switch things thrown in.

On the PlayStation side, yet still related to the Switch, I'm streaming Retroarch to my Switch and playing Genso Suikogaiden Vol 1. It's a visual novel spin-off set during Suikoden II and leading into the 3rd game. Have you ever played the two VN spinoffs, @Gremio108?

Things'll swing back more to PlayStation when Tales of Arise cones out soon, though.

Finally got around to Subnautica, generally having a chill time hanging out under the ocean waves

@TraCuz- haha thanks!

Finished the excellent Yakuza Judgement. Managed to get Like A Dragon. So I’ll just be playing that.

Iki Island, the ascent, dodgeball academia and working on ASTRO playroom plat

Nothing for me - camping out for 3 days and braving Leeds Fest ! Exhaustion ahead
Have a great weekend guys ❤

Still on my 4th run of the artistic masterpiece RDRII. Some GT Sport, maybe some AC Odyssey - still can't seem to finish my 2nd run with Alexios because RDR2.

Just started Chapter 8 in Judgment last night. The story is starting to get pretty spicy and I'm enjoying the ride.

I'm going to start up my first playthrough of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I picked it up on launch but never got around to giving it a go. Was able to snag the PS5 upgrade for free which was nice! I'm definitely in the mood for more FF as I just finished FF15 and 12 this month so I'm hoping FF7 it lives up to the hype!

@BrotherFilmriss what do you think of it brother? Have purchased and will be starting tonight! Looking forward to it after enjoying the demo, was surprised there was no review on this site 🤷‍♂️

I’m still making my way through my first ever playthrough of The Last of Us Part II (on PS5 at 60fps). Just got past the Rat King boss fight at ground zero and boy am I having a blast.

Other than that, I’m still playing the odd run in Hades and I have Psychonauts 2 installed ready for when I’m done and dusted with TLOU2.

@OMG_Waffles I absolutely loved FF7 remake and it looks and runs so so well on PS5.

Enjoy!

@Col_McCafferty

That's amazing to hear! I'm going in completely blind. I never got to play the original on the PlayStation 1 so I'm pretty excited!

PS5: Finishing up Spider-Man Remastered and then onto Horizon Zero Dawn whenever they sort out the audio bug.

XBSX: Psychonauts 2!

@Col_McCafferty

Man the Mass Effect trilogy is my all-time favorite games! I'd kill to be able to go in blind again on a full playthrough! M3 is my personal favorite and it's Sheppard at his or hers best. I recommend playing as a Vanguard, sentinel or biotic in ME3 it's stupid fun!

@Oldiebutnoobie
Pretty good this far, really enjoying it. There's a demo available if you're unsure of buying it.

@OMG_Waffles Neither did I, my very first FF game in fact, and strangely I think this helped me enjoy it even more as I had no prior knowledge of the game and the characters and story apart from the very basics.

FemShep all the way. I think I got a good enough ending to 2 and looking forward to finishing the trilogy at some point this year

Mafia 3 Definitive Edition really good game, good settings & time era, music, graphics are good. The main character who you play as Lincoln Clay is a good character, but the Mafia 3 isn't like one or two. Mafia 3 is more of a revenge story, but good story with good characters like I said. But it is a bit buggy not dead bad something I can look past, on my 2nd play through for the platinum. Plus the Definitive Edition comes with all the DLC, again good characters and story's which definitely adds more to the main game. All in all I really like the Mafia 3. On my PS4 PRO. Might do some Hades on my PS5 also.

Juggling between Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut, Spider-Man Remastered & Among the Sleep, mostly Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut though.
However I might take a break from these games to try out Timothy's Night & Baldo: The Guardian Owls.

It’s a Psychonauts 2 weekend here, assuming that there isn’t more destructive lightning in the area. Yesterday lightning hit nearby and the surge fried my cable box and Fire TV Stick.

Wrapping up platinums for ps4 games such as Jedi Fallen Order and Control using the faster ps5. Will prob keep clearing backlog. Between Tales of Arise, Lost Judgement, Witcher 3 upgrade (prob before netflix season 2), Dying Light 2, Elden Ring and Horizon FW, there probably won't be much time for backlog in the coming months lol.

Switch - Picked up FE Three Houses, so gonna dive into that!

PS5 - GTA Online and Borderlands with friends!

PC - Honestly nothing much this weekend, mainly console for me.

Have a good weekend everyone!

I finally finished the story in Ghost of Tsushima. Now I’m just cleaning up the island and then I’ll start Iki island DLC. When I need a break I keep dipping into Art of Rally on Game Pass. What a great chill out game. Have a great weekend everyone!

Still cracking cases with the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Gonna Jump back on Guilty Gear Strive as well.

Summer holidays in the uk last about 6 weeks from mid July to the beginning of September @TraCuz- ... from what I know about the US school system we have shorter but more frequent holidays over here?

Not sure when I'll get round to Uncharted 4 as I don't own it but 2 & 3 are massive step ups from the first that was a bit ho-hum.

As for Pathfinder... I'll shoot you a tag in the forums... Be a bit too long to explain it here 😄

I've just liberated act 2 of Ghost of tsushima. I'm enjoying this playthrough even more than the first.

Been playing quite a few things, which is unusual as I tend never to have more than a couple of games on the go. Played some red dead online and unlocked the moonshine and bounty hunter roles (if anyone wants to posse up then give me a shout). Played some more new vegas and found my way to ellis airfield after some gruesome deaths! Tried out psychonauts 2 having never played the first game and did not expect it to be some nickelodeon art style take on inception and finally had a few mk8d races on the switch with the family. Have a great weekend folks

I've hit a brick wall. Not really enjoying Skyward Sword HD, played a few minutes of War for Wakanda, meh. So I cruised through Unravel for the first time yesterday. I'll get to that deep backlog sooner or later. Happy gaming, friends.

Working my way through Psychonauts and replaying KOTR 1. I am also playing some BioMutant and trying the new Assassin in Watch Dogs 3.

WRC 10 on PS5 I got in the post yesterday. Despite not day one patch really impressive and great graphics and handling

Mostly on Switch this weekend, No More Heroes III.

This weekend I'll be finishing both God of War (2018) and Metroid: Zero Mission.

As always getting time on my PS4 or 5 is the thing. I’m replaying Lego Star Wars 3 on Psnow as the last play through bugged. Not the greatest game but it’s years since I initially played it on Xbox, plus it’s not an issue if kids walk in

Angry Birds Star Wars (Windows Phone) - Finally made it to the end!

Equalicious (Windows Phone) - Haven't played all week, so need to get back into it.

Bug Village (Windows Phone) - I think I'm done with this, nothing left to do really.

AC Odyssey in glorious super smooth 60fps. I swear the game looks even better too. Loving it all over again.

Finally cleared a run in hades so a week later than planned I might actually get GoT DC downloaded. Still got a little Plague Tale to finish too.

This weekend is consisting of The Great Ace Attorney on Switch as well as continuing Death’s Door which released very recently and is similar to Hades!

Also, a new game called Lamentum finally dropped yesterday. If you can imagine a pixel-art version of Resident Evil that includes limited ammo and saves, lots of really unique puzzles, and exploring a huge creepy mansion in the 1800s, it’s extremely good!

Happy gaming, everyone

Wrapping up borderlands 3...still playing hades (cant stop..help)..and i bought nfs heat as it was cheap on the psn store and i fancied a racer...not bad really..

I downloaded the new CoD alpha so you wouldn’t have to. Looks good, sounds great, plays like a CoD but I didn’t particularly like the only available game mode so I just played for 30 minutes and deleted it.

Other than that, I fired up GG Strive after a little break (which happened for Hades reasons) and I’m happy to report I didn’t forget everything. I did start by getting demoted but that was expected

Also Hades, which turns out to be an absolutely massive game despite technically being 30 minutes long.

maneater for ps5! to ready me for the DLC.

PGA Tour 2k21

WRC 9, which I'm finding very difficult even with a wheel. Been watching YT vids to try and nail the setup so my car can at least stay on the road!
Looking at other racing game options to at least enjoy the wheel I recently bought...

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Cheers, I can consistently get about halfway through but keep falling down at the crab bit. Need to practice the trial on its own for a bit I think....

Off to Wales for a week and will be playing some GBA classics starting with Minis Cap

This week I’ve been playing returnal and am embarrassed to admit it’s taken me more than 20 hours to beat the first biome…

I’m hoping it’s like bloodborne where it took me forever to beat father gascoine at which point everything clicked and I flew through the rest of the game

Exclusively Psychonauts 2 for me this weekend. Wonderful humour. Delightful game.

The Banner Saga has consumed me completely.

Back into Assassin's Creed Odyssey, almost forgot how smooth the climbing is. I see a mountain and I am like...no problem. Also working through the Assassins Creed crossover in Watch Dogs Legion. Darcy is fierce and the nods to AC have me smiling the whole time.

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Oh I plan to own that platinum, don't you worry. I've come too far to stop now

Pretty much Just played Ender Lillie's: Quietus of the knight all weekend. Just wrapped up the platinum and 100% the game before heading to bed. Highly recommend especially if you enjoyed Hollow Knight, hope everyone had a great weekend!
