Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - New Year Edition

First time playing Dark Souls 3, wish me luck!

Im looking at getting through some of the backlog in preparation for Horizon Forbidden West. Currently on Guardians of the Galaxy, and will then look at either the Iki island expansion for Ghost of Tsushima, or Deathloop next

Nothing because I tried playing Outriders and the game crashes within 1 minute of booting the game every single time. At first I thought it was just the game but then I tried No Man's Sky and it still happens. If I play offline games the ps5 works just fine. So basically I've spent the last day and a half trying to fix my broken ps5 which is pretty much bricked for any game that uses online play, fun! I'm going to have to send it back for repair, but I can't even do that because sony customer support doesn't come back till Monday. Guess I can get back into my addiction of League of Legends on pc while I wait.

Started Resi 7 last night just for something a bit different. Quite enjoyed the first bit so will probably carry on. It’s been many a year since I played an RE game so hopefully I haven’t missed any important plot points.

Ratchet & Clank, Gardeners of the Galaxy, Death's Door.

Mostly Hades with the occasional bit of Ys:Memory of Celceta to mix it up.

Shady Part of Me (PS4)
Hades, Returnal, Spider-Man Miles Morales (PS5)
Should be enough to keep me occupied.

Happy New Year PushSquare fam
Have a good weekend all

Finishing Lost Judgment, after that it's probably Far Cry 6 which I got for cheap or another NG+ run of Horizon Zero Dawn to set up the mood for February. Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year! Still on Cyberpunk 2077, AC Odyssey and GT Sport.

God of war 3 on ps now. I’m in the process of playing through all of them in preparation for Ragnarok. I beat the ps2 and psp games on this play through and have gow3, ascension, and gow2018 left.
I’m also playing my new occulus quest 2. Couldn’t find a psvr or the camera adapter so I just went for it with the occulus for Christmas. Soooo cool and can’t recommend it enough.

PGA TOUR 2021 & crash 4

Still waiting on GAME to dispatch my PS5 so for this weekend I think I'll get the Vita out and play Steins Gate.

Kena, Spider-Man remastered and some master chef collection halo reach.

Nothing for me this weekend. I have Covid for the second time. I also got it last Boxing Day (2020), which is kinda weird. Either way, I’m far too unwell to play any games for a while. Just typing this message has taken me nearly 10mins. Happy new year everyone.

Spiderman remastered and genshin

@TwomanybuttonS I've been watching Masterchef too. Love it!!

Trying to finish up as many games as I can before the onslaught of 2022 games release. I’m on the final chapter of Eastward on switch so hopefully I can hit the nail on the head with that one today. New Pokemon Snap may be a problem as I keep replaying the same missions trying to do absolutely everything before moving on, haven’t left the first island yet.
Someone got me Alan wake for Xmas, played the first chapter and I’m enjoying it so far. But I keep thinking that’s how all remedy games begin for me then I get bored and don’t finish them. Hopefully this one bucks the trend.
Also got pikmin 3 on sale and I haven’t even started that. But I’d say these 4 games are my main gaming goals right now.

@The_Pixel_King that’s unlucky. Hopefully this is the last time for you 🤞

Happy New Year to all and sundry.

2022 promises to be a big year in gaming, more than enough new releases to cater for all tastes. Bring it on!

I started a second playthrough of The Last of Us Part II early in the week and am currently in Seattle, experiencing Day One. A nice cheerful little game to see in the New Year.

😉

I’ve gone back (way back) to a classic; Skyrim, all polished up for PS5. So much new content already. This is one of the few games I can lose hours on without noticing the time pass. “What do you mean it’s 2:30am?!”

@PenguinL This was on my list as one to try. Interesting you found it to be lacking. I was surprised when I looked into it that Rockstar haven’t officially given it the PS5 polish. They really seem to ignore anything that isn’t an online money printing machine these days. It’s a shame. Feels like they’ve lost their way.

Saints Row the Third got my attention on boxing Day, and although I'm also 20 hours in to Watch Dogs Legion, Saints Row is a blast, so I'll be parking my tank on a crossroads blowing up wave after wave of gangs and cops, occasionally doing a story mission.

@PenguinL Just tested and looks the same to me on both consoles. I have HDR off though.

Edit: Seems the same with HDR on but my friend says it is looking blurrier haha.

Disco Elysium - Absolutely brilliant.
GTA Online - I've been catching up on the last few updates I've missed. The new Dre content is ace.
Control - I love this game. If this does indeed get made into a film, I reckon it could be very decent.
AC Valhalla - Strewth! I think I'm near the end.

Happy New Year!

@xRetrox
Gud luck!
Best game I played this year 👍
Guardians of the Galaxy for me now.

F.I.S.T what a cracking game it is. Happy New year and enjoy all your gaming in 2022!

Reliving my youth with THPS 1+2 , paid £10 on epic and it's amazing. I'm 11 again.

Replaying Tomb Raider (2013) & The Evil Within on PS4, and playing Spider-Man Remastered on PS5, once I'm done with these games, I'm gonna finally play Spider-Man Miles Morales on PS5.
(I played Miles Morales on PS4 but it had a few game-breaking glitches concerning the Spidey Challenges & Base Takedowns that prevented me from fully completing the game).

Yakuza Kiwami 1, with it I'm clearing up any interesting side content that I missed. Also close to getting 100% with Sly 3.

And I've recently started with Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker. It's good so far, though I prefer the story beats from the first game.

@JJ2 Ah, I see what you did there :> Thanks, bro. I hope you have fun as well and Happy new year.

@The_Pixel_King oh bloody hell dude that's terrible. Hope you get well soon

Finished and platinumed GOTG yesterday. Very fun game with great production values but the gameplay is a bit shallow- well worth a play through though
Carrying on with Halo Infinite which is superb, the best Halo has been in awhile, single and multiplayer and one of my games of the year
Also still trying and failing to speed run my actual game of the year - Deathloop
Have a good weekend guys ❤️

@Integrity lmao 🤣 😂

Continuing my 2nd playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn in preparation for Forbidden West's release. Having a blast with it as expected.

Ringing in the new year with Demon’s Souls. I’m scared of it, to be honest. Whether I end up frustrated by its difficulty or addicted to the game play and become one of those Souls fanatics — either way I’m terrified of the outcome.

Picked up Vampyr on the psn store for £8 that's me sorted for the weekend Iv'e been wanting to play it for a while.

AC Odyssey and Guardians of the Galaxy. Have a good New Year all!

Happy new year all, I'm starting off the year well and have finally secured a PS5 which will be delivered hopefully before my birthday next month 😂😂😂. Apart from that I am continuing to play Rage 2 and eyeing up heading back to Yakuza like a dragon.

@playstation1995 ....man that House On The Bayou must be a lloooonnng film - you've been watching it the last 4 weeks ...lol, only kidding, enjoy

Assassins creed valhalla for me..need to get this monster out of the way before elden ring drops through my door...happy new year everybody..

On switch I will carry on with the wild at heart and pokemon brilliant diamond

And on series S I will try and complete aliens fireteam and then I think it's time to pack it away for a couple months as there's nothing really interesting me on gamepass right now

@Nf157 @KingPev Awww, thanks for the well wishes, guys. Means a lot. Honestly. A little kindness sure goes a long way, especially when you feel like crap.

Happy New Year everyone. I’ll probably just in some Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania on the PS4.

SWITCH
Skyrim - continuing my playthrough of this absolutely timeless game!

PC
Yakuza 0 - starting this series with this installment! Heard great things about it!
-
Garry's Mod - Multiplayer mayhem with friends later tonight!

Have a great weekend everyone, and Happy New Year!!

Helping the wee man with a Miles Morales playthrough on the PS4

For me, messing about with Cyberpunk to see what it's like, will get into it properly once the drop the PS5 patch. As well I'll be continuing my P5R run through ahead of Striker on Plus this month. Bit of Asteroids Recharged thrown in as well, cracking pickup for us to play as a family taking shots about. And not too far removed from the original, whilst still feeling like a decent experience on current gen.

I deleted my Returnal save and started again. I'm finding it a lot easier. Im on biome 5 with only 12 deaths, so im thinking about a melee only run or two...💪

Finished Astro's Playroom and have started Demon's Souls. Loving the PS5 so far

Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) - Finally returning to this after a lengthy break.

Mahjong by Microsoft (Android) - Daily challenges and puzzle packs as usual.

Tiki Towers (Windows Phone) - Still plugging away at this as well.

Happy New Year everyone! It is going to be a great year for gaming.

I am playing Ruined King, and I am enjoying the heck out of it. Airship Syndicate knocked it out of the park with Battlechasers, and did the same here. The art style, story, and wonderful combat system are all excellent.

If you like turn based games at all, I strongly urge checking out this and Battlechasers. Just top notch games.

Continue Death Stranding Director's Cut. I'm having a blast and I'm only at Chapter 2 😅

The Last Of Us & it's DLC.
WWE 2K14.

PS5 Kena, Chicory, Guardians. Series X The Ascent, The Artful Escape. Switch Ace Attorney Chronicles, Eastward, Hyper Light Drifter

Playing a game called ghost parade, and currently going through the dark pictures anthology of games.

@Integrity Will you be playing House Keepers of the Galaxy afterwards?

@Jayofmaya I've still got Pool Attendants of the Galaxy to get through! 😁

@The_Pixel_King Hope you feel better soon :/ I'm sure you will pick up, before you know it, though.

@Integrity That's the best one! Enjoy

@playstation1995 Have you seen some Ghibli films then? Since you like Ni No's graphics

@Jayofmaya. Definitely i seen it before.i mean ni no kuni looks really good on ps3.and now it looks even better on my ps4 pro.word up son

Been playing Dawn of War Dark Crusade, going to install the awesome Unification mod for Soulstorm tomorrow maybe and play that, too. Was playing Fall Guys quite a bit before NYE, too. Also some Battlefront 2.

Replaying through the GTA trilogy (PS2 classics not definitive edition) & playing genshin impact

@playstation1995 I have been meaning to get it, I wanted it since the ps3 but just never got it lol I actually have Ni No Kuni 2 and all the dlc, though, for some reason haha

@Jayofmaya Thanks dude! Still feeling really rough, but I think I’m starting to get through the worst of it. Have a fantastic 2022, buddy.

@Jayofmaya. I had ni no kuni on mt ps3 i was far in the game. But i had a lot of backlog of games.but when i heard about the remastered version its a no brainer . on my samsung 4k hdr tv it looks even more amazing.you should play the first one.i got cheap on ebay brand new for 17$.and i do have ni no kuni 2 also.both amazing graphics also.2 ni no kuni games playa.but once again play ni no kuni wrath of the white witch remastered first.word up son

On Chapter 14 of Yakuza: LAD, fun game! Want to get back to AC Origins next. Tales of Arise and AC: Valhalla still new in the boxes, something dig into over the next few weeks. And the Yuffie DLC at some point.

Took a break from Skyrim to check out Kena and COD Vanguard (campaign). I'm a sucker for WW2 themed games, so I'm quite enjoying COD. Played a few rounds of multiplayer in several modes as well, but after years of Battlefield V, the levels just feel so small and empty.

Kena is everything I expected it to be. Ember Lab poured a lot of love into this one. Wonderful game!

Ps5 Xcom 2 Wotc and finish platinum for sekiro oh and evil genius 2+dlc and gunna do yule festival in ac valhalla if it ever appears 😂😂😂
Xone nowt haven't turned it on in nearly a year

And on my tablet Dino crisis 2🦖🦖🦖

Playing gta vice city definitive edition. Loving strolling down memory lane.

@Loftimus
Did exactly the same thing. First play through I only made it to the second biome - I had so many games on the go at the time so I just didn’t go back (don’t get me wrong I liked the game). This time around I love the game and have just hit the fourth biome. Loved the boss at the end of the third biome with that music playing.

@The_Pixel_King You too, dude!

@playstation1995 I bet every game looks better on a 4k hdr tv tbf haha I only have a 32 inch 1080p Samsung, but the game mode is useful for better refresh rates, still.
Mass Effect's door locks were basically impossible to do before I used it. Lol
Will do, man.
Happy 2022, word up.

Enjoy your your games.play your backlog of of games.i got a lot of games.so im having fun.this year the games will be amazing also.happy 2022 playa.word up son

Far cry 6 atm but getting towards the end of it now. Going to play Life is strange True Color’s next and Guardians of the galaxy after that 👌
Ps5 for the win 🏆

i have a big backlog... i need to finish valhalla, far cry 6 bored me, minecraft has that new caves update, back 4 blood has kept me busy since october, need to finish jedi fallen order as well as sackboy and ratchet & clank. lot of retro games to play, on ps5 and on actual console. still wanna dig into the gta trilogy but not in the state it's in. cyberpunk, another game i barely touched because its so unfinished (they refuse to fix the broken cop a.i. and also there arent any cars hardly driving around in the city which is simply stupid and immersion breaking until they release the proper ps5 patch to fix all this). i was playing the survival game Conan again and.... it now has quality mode and performance mode. performance mode runs and looks WORSE lol! i cant play a game at 30 frames or less any more. just cant, aggravating.

really isnt anything "wow" for me coming out until february maybe.
