WAYP waits for no man – well, apart from this author when he's running behind schedule. Yes, it's a Sunday, and yes, this article should have been up over 24 hours ago – but heck, at least its tardiness has given us something new to type in this introduction area. What are you playing this weekend? There's only a few hours left, but tell us your itinerary anyway.

I hated Flame Over when I started it for review last week, but I'm genuinely addicted to the fire fighting foray now. I'm not entirely sure what it is that's got me hooked, but I'll definitely be getting steamy with that release over the weekend.

Is it just me or have there been a lot of hunting games cropping up in my weekend plans in recent months? I certainly feel like I've spent a lot of time stalking beasts, and this week appears to be no different, as I'll be venturing into the Valley of the Yetis to try out the latest piece of downloadable content for Far Cry 4. I'll also be continuing to work my way through Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on my 3DS, which keeps me coming back again and again due to its massively satisfying loop of hunting and crafting.

Recently, I've been sprinting about sun-kissed sidewalks in Dying Light, enjoying the excellent lighting and Skyrim reminiscent combat. It's the first game since P.T to really give me the willies, too. The moment that the sun goes down, my heart rate goes right up – the pursuits are a nail-biting affair to say the least. It's a clever concept that I'm thoroughly enjoying exploring.

I've really wanted to play Ori and the Blind Forest for a couple of days now, but so far I've managed to play it for about 40 minutes. I keep getting sucked back into Hotline Miami 2. Dennaton killed it again, and the challenge is going to be whether or not I can pry myself away from Wrong Number.

Wow. I went on a two-day gaming marathon on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively completing The Order: 1886 and Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus. That's something that I haven't done in a very, very long time, but my time with those titles proved to be enjoyable experiences. While it certainly wasn't perfect, I enjoyed Ready at Dawn's dark, serious, and cinematic game, and how could I not be entertained by a main entry in Insomniac Games' flagship franchise? This weekend, though, there won't be much gaming for me, but I'll play some Shadow of Mordor and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D here and there before spring break is over.
That's us done jabbering, and in record time, too – we're really running behind schedule here. What's keeping you occupied this weekend? Let us know in the comments section below.

Sorry this is so late, guys. @ShogunRok has disciplined me for my tardiness.
Been playing a lot of Final Fantasy 14 Online: A Realm Reborn. Gearing up my other Classes/Jobs that i have farming up some Soldiery so i can gear them up.
I have been playing that and i have been playing some Xenoverse as well.
Addicted to OliOli2 this weekend
I bought the last of us remastered in a sale on psn. I never thought I would like it but I love it. The only problem is my local retailer sold it for the same price, and I prefer physical copies.
I've been playing Hotline Miami 2, OlliOlli2, Valiant Hearts and today I think I'm going to try Sherlock xD
Dragon Ball XenoVerse, trying to get all super moves
and while the game has some problems (such as Saiyans being so OP and with the first DLC pack being delayed) it's still the most fun I've had on a Dragon Ball game in years
So far this weekend I havent had any time to play anything, so when I do get to sit down and play, I've picked Destiny as my go-to game. I'm finally lv. 31, but I can't level up any more until I get the raid leg armor and more radiant shard, that and I've been grinding crucible so I can get a legendary auto rifle from New Monarchy. Other games I plan on playing over spring break this week are AC: Unity, COD:AW, GTA5 Online, Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, Smash Bros for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, and most definitely Final Fantasy Type-0 when I pick it up this week.
Valient hearts in a minute and then wind the weekend down with some driveclub.
@get2sammyb - Well I know what I won't be playing, Lego Hobbit, ever, as I've been waiting for the DLC to release before buying the game. Surprised you didn't cover this, it came out on all 3 systems, PS4, PS3 and Vita so somebody must be waiting for it.

What I will be playing is Hyrule Warriors as the final DLC from the season pas released on Thursday.
Destiny, because I'm pathetic.
dying light when my bro has time to spare. Or else I play battlefield4 as usual
I've been punching the Sun On Yee, preparing heists and singing for mages in Sleeping Dogs, GTA Online and FFXIV respectively.
Been playing GTA V on the PS4 all day, every day. I'm addicted to it.
@rjejr I'm guessing they will do what they did with the lego indy games and release a second game with all the content of the first game and what would have been the 5 armys dlc, at full price forcing people to buy it again if they want a complete game
@get2sammyb That's OK Sammy we forgive you....... This time.
Any who here's what I played this weekend
PS4: Valiant Hearts - Was on the fence with this one for awhile. Since it was free I decided to take the plunge and I have to say I am enjoying it alot.
Wii U - Last night was multiplayer madness with some guys from work. What better games then Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros.
Mobile - Recent got a new phone so I decide to check out WWE Immortals and it's has me hooked. I will be sneaking in a few matches of this at work.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
@FullbringIchigo From my understanding they won't even do that. It has been cancelled for good. My guess is that they had problems with it and since they put out those games at such a rapid pace have moved on to the next game.
I play Quantum Theory.
I'm making my way through Final Fantasy X in vita. I spent over an hour last night going though a field and lost a battle so I lost all of that time. Pretty depressing
@Cowboysfan-22 lol just wait until everything else crazy about that game happens. (Pushed out of combat?! Like "roar" from Pokémon?? Grrr)
MH4U is amazing on my New3DS. I'm loving Abe New n Tasty, great idea and well executed. My love for Valkyria Chronicles on PS3 has been reignited so I'll happily waste hours today on those.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round- been playing with a group a friends, it's fun
Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition
Resident Evil Revelations 2
I'm taking a break from Destiny. I really don't need to grind my gear because it'll be made trivial when House of Wolves comes out. I'd still like to do Crota's End with a PushSquare posse though. So today I've played Killzone: Mercenary on my Vita.
While I have picked up a lot of newer games the past month, I'm trying to put more focus into my backlog. Most of my time is trying to get progress in for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the Wii (the only Zelda game to date I haven't completed), but I'm also playing quite a bit of Final Fantasy XIV, Theatrhythm Curtain Call, and Monster Hunter 4 when I can.
I've been playing Uncharted 3 again in 3D. I'll also probably play some Atelier: Eshca and Logy. I might play some Destiny or Guild Wars 2 too.
I beat dying light this weekend. Really liked it. Still have a bunch of side missions but I will try those in a few weeks.
Just started playing mgs 4 - I had started 3 but really couldn't get into it for some time. It had made me worried that I wouldn't like where the series is heading, but I'm really impressed with 4 so far.
Kung Fu Rabbit on Vita for me
Helldivers! Tonight!
Have a nice cup of liberty!
@FullbringIchigo - Pretty much my thoughts. I figure next fall '16 there will be a blu ray set of all 6 LotR and Hobbit movies and they would put out a matching Lego LotR and Hobbit game set which would include the Battle of the 5 Armies.
Bravely Default. It seems I waited FAR too long to play this game as I am absolutely loving it.
Diablo III ROS couch coop with some friends. Oh and some hubly...
Played through Ori in one sitting... Holy crp what a game! If this won't be my GOTY, it'll be an excellent year no matter what. Spent most of my Sunday sleeping late because of my Ori marathon and now I'm in the middle of some Helldivers action. Playing it on the PS3 for no particular reason; just because I can
Drive club, battlefield 4 & the Order 1886
Another AMAZING & Diverse PS4 Gaming week this week it has been for me Played the excellent 'Valiant Hearts'(Free with PS PLUS) + Got 'Moon Cresta' off Japanese PSN Store(can't believe it came out in 1980!?) Brilliant old-school game it is(rock hard tho) + Got the 'Arcade Pinball' 'Star Trek:TNG' Table which is COOL + Just started playing 'CounterSpy'(Free with PS PLUS) Another brilliant game so far + Looking forward(when i got time) to play 'The Order: 1886' again soon
A bit of Gat out of Hell which is a bit meh, the awesome DMC and a bit of Advance Warfare and GTA 5. Nice!
@larry_koopa that's a great game! I think. I played the demo for like 15 hours and then the actual game has just been sitting in my backlog since release...I hate to think of how long it would take to finish it. Also look into 4 Heroes of Light on DS also if you haven't already.
I want to start RE Revelations 2 or The Order 1886 but...with FF Type-0 HD coming out this week, everything else will be brushed aside!
@kupo
Well, I'm only in chapter 2 and I've already put over 24 hours into the game. I just can't believe how into this game I actually am.
Hope you get through your backlog soon enough so you can enjoy the amazingness of this game
Finished the main story in DmC as well as Vergil's Downfall (which sets up nicely for a sequel hopefully we can get some day). Then started a second playthrough.
Finally picked up AC: Unity, so that's been my main focus over the last week. For all the criticism it received, I am thoroughly enjoying it and haven't seen any problems glitch-wise (presumably thanks to the patch). Certainly not the best in the series, but a good bit of fun all the same.
Outside of that OlliOlli 2 has got its claws in. I really didn't think I was going to be overly fussed about it, but man is it addictive once your skills slowly start to build!
I beat Spider-Man: Edge of Time and I tried to play Heavy Rain, but I dropped it after 30 minutes, too many QTEs for my taste.
Anyways, now I'm currently playing Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, I just started Chapter 1.
I was revisiting the original Metal Gear Solid on my PS Vita. It's amazing how well that game holds up 17 years on.
@themcnoisy You liking valiant hearts?
@Wesker Haha that bottom comes up quick doesn't it. It's always fun to give it a break then jump back in after a couple of weeks. I think people who traded it in are a bit mad really
