Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 111

This weekend I am playing what I have been playing for the past 4 months since I have no money: Bloodborne, NFS, Destiny, Rocket League. Although I am curious to try the new FFXV Demo.

@get2sammyb yeah exactly, which is why I am still holding on. April however, is crazy. Destiny update, Rocket League update, Ratchet & Clank and Dark Souls 3? This might be my favorite month of the PS4 era so far!

I just finished SOMA, fantastic by the way. I will be playing The Deadly Tower of Monsters and finally starting The Phantom Pain. Hopefully I can get around the 1.06 update and avoid Konami forcing me into FOB missions.

Going ot platinum Dark Souls 3 and maybe a bit of Far Cry Primal

Toukiden Kiwami. Finished the story last night, now time for some ultimate missions and trying out some other weapons for a change (was using Naginata)

I'm grinding my way towards a One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 plat, still need 21 special attacks on DBX my try to at least get into the teens and may play my first episode of Michonne.

@finalstan nice! I am slowly making my way through this on Vita. Great game

For me, I started The Witcher 3 on NG+ last night, so I'll be mainly carrying on with that. Will probably fit in some Driveclub and/or Trackmania, which I've been working my way through lately, and maybe a couple matches of SMITE when/if I need a break from killing monsters and driving

Continuing my super duper complete playthrough of The Witcher 3. I'm currently hitting up all the ?'s off the coasts of the Skellige Isles.
I've turned the White Wolf into a treasure seeker.

Finishing up GTA V this weekend... Hadn't played gta since Vice City! Might he a start on Bloodborne GOTY I recently got cheap.

Well I finally got round to finishing Arkham Knight properly last weekend (damned riddler trophies!) so I'm a bit at a loss now. Maybe one of you fine gentlemen can recommend something?

Basically anything I play will be put right down in May when Uncharted 4 arrives, so nothing too long, maybe not an open world epic... Maybe Everybody's Gone to the Rapture... Although that might be too short to fully bridge the gap...

You can see the predicament I'm in!

Maybe I should start replaying the Uncharted games...

Wrestlemania

Final Fantasy VII and FFX on PS4 and FFIX on my PSVita

HIGH ON THE FINAL FANTASY HYPE RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Same as last weekend; Smite and Diablo III.Seriously loving Smite, just wish I was better at it

Ratchet Crack in Time, WWE 2K14, some Uncharted and Star Ocean (Finally got the wind ring. Only took me 3 years!), and I've been hit with the Metal Gear Rising bug again.

As it's Wrestlemania weekend (in Texas, no less!), I wish I could go or watch it on TV, but the money just isn't there at the time. Would have loved to see AJ Styles' first 'Mania.

I think we can all live with out a RE6 review.

I'm away from home this weekend so it's all Vita gaming for me. I'll be playing more Trails in the Sky with possible some FEZ and Stealth Inc. thrown in just to mix things up. Might also play some Football Manager 2014 on my laptop too (haven't bothered picking up the latest releases).
Kinda sad I won't be able to join the Super SMITE Squad this weekend, who else is gonna "secure" all those kills We've assembled a pretty good team too!

@Splat you said it man.

On a mountain vacation this weekend with the wife and son, so not a lot of gaming going on. Will definitely try the Platinum FF15 demo tomorow when I get home and am still a little peeved we haven't got any sort of information on the Hyper Light Drifter ps4 release.

I probably won't get around to any gaming until Sunday, but when I do, it'll be The Division.

Dark Souls for me in anticipation of the release of the third game. Also finally getting around to playing the first Danganronpa on vita if I've spelled it right.

Just finished Arkham Knight. Started out slow but I really enjoyed it overall. I'm so glad I watched the 100% ending on YouTube because I don't feel the payoff was worth it.

I'm gonna try to do something next that I've never done - finish twilight princess! I've started it twice but I've never gotten around to finishing it, even though I really like it. Just got the hd version.

Keep trying to rise my rank on Splatoon, finishing the trials I can manage on SFV (why no FM is given for these?) and watching my bro continuing and possibly finishing Ethan Carter.

If the FFXV demo is ready I will give it a try.

Well I finally finished XCX, so probably Injustice on my PS3. 25% of the story done and it's been great so far.

Got a free year of Showtime, Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) is in 2 shows. Who knew? Will be catching up on those just for her.

Mets season finally starts tomorrow night. Will be doing as much "watching games" as playing them for the next 6 months. Wouldn't be terrible if FFXV got delayed a month or so.

I would have said Miitomo, but that's just a time waster, I won't call it a "game". Wasting a lot of time on it though.

@sinalefa Still playing Spaltoon. I had to stop, too much yelling and screaming and cursing once I got up to A- rank, even when my team one. But non-ranked seemed boring. I've even stopped w/ Spaltfests. I'll be Day 1 for Spla2oon though, if we have a NX that is.

Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest

Gosh dang this game gets brutally tough in the late chapters.

Also played some Hyrule Warriors Legends and Zelda Twilight Princess: Picross on 3DS... That Zelda Picross is fun. Oh, and this indie Wii U game called PixlCross- really fun actually

@rjejr

Precisely the rank I am at right now. I have a real life friend to play with and we try to play the modes we are better at, but indeed some randoms are better than others. Even with all the annoyance I keep playing for the gameplay itself.

@sinalefa How many hours you put in? I think I was nearing around 170 when I stopped. About the same as XCX. I think that's my limit for games, then it's time to move on. Though I probably have about 10,000 hours in Candy Crush since June 2013, but I really don't want to know.

Brought my PSP with me to Arlington, Texas. This is the first time I've ever been to the States! But I'll be playing Battlefront II on PSP during the few bouts of downtime.

Back and forth with Killer Instinct and Street Fighter V. Get in some Senran Kagura Estivial Vs too. And I will be watching Wrestlemaina.

So far I've played Dark Souls 2 SOTFS (just took down Guardian Dragon), Bloodborne I taken down the first optional boss on NG+ working my way to the old hunters DLC. And I'm actual in the mood for some PGA Golf.. . I will wipe all traces of bosses from Dark Souls. Now watch this DRIVE!

Xbox One - The Division

Disney Infinity - Marvel Battlegrounds with the kids. They absolutely love this add on and it's hard not to see why. Everyone can play thanks to 4 player support and there's a decent handicap system in place to make the whole thing fair.

First day of football season here in Australia and got caught between the opposition centre forward and our keeper... took a knee in the back and now I'm laid up. So the Vita is going to get a work out with more XCOM EU: Plus. Slowish load times and frame rate don't bother me as it's all here, with Enemy Within content!

I got GTA 5 on PS4 for £25 this week , completed it on PS3 but never played online have created a character 'Vic Mackey' and will be going through the tutorials in a bit , then get a car and save for a garage. Also hope to squeeze in some Battlefront , Mass Effect and Destiny. ( the wife's away ! )

@rjejr

I have 157 hours, making it my second most played U game after HW. Never started X. I was 4 points from getting to A, but a couple of losses docked me down to A- 66. So gonna keep trying later on during Rainmaker.

Witcher 3..... I regreted buying this game that late. After every day hours of reading scientific articles and writing papers I'm eager to play the witcher. Fantastic game...

I will be playing the division, grinding some dark zone, running challenges and finalizing my setup for incursions. I will say people taking advantages of exploits are really getting to me. Recorded a short clip of someone using one such exploit if you want to check it out. Essentially makes you a god.

@sinalefa "Rainmaker." That reminds me, I also stopped playing b/c I only liked Rainmaker mode on Camp Triggerfish, though tower was good on a couple as well. But I was really sick of the oil rig and kelp dome and the warehouse, and I was never any good on the 2 new ones. Turning it on just to find levels or modes or I didn't like started me down the road of playing it less and less. But I still up for a sequel w/ new levels and new modes. Or maybe just all modes and levels right from the start this time.

@Anchorsam_9 I'm now done with my bros stag do and guess what. We went to Prenton Park then Anfield, before hitting Matthew Street and 15 other pubs. Anfield was pretty good and the back side of the new stand looks brilliant. You wont often hear this but Coutinho is practically a scouser. I'm strangely sober, so I'm looking forward to uncharted 3 tomorrow. I'm just about in Syria, yay.

Brilliant day and 14 hours of drinking.

Been playing MLB The Show 16. San Diego Studio has done a fantastic job this year. The new Conquest mode in Diamond Dynasty is the bees knees. Mixes Baseball with the Strategy genre. The new Battle Royal mode in Diamond Dynasty is pretty cool too, but is in much need of Forza like Drivatar type tech. In fact Head To Head and Battle Royal modes in Diamond Dynasty would be much better if you just played with others ghosts or Drivatars than a real human that just bails when they start losing or has a lovely internet connection, which drops them.

I’m also really impressed with Sony’s partnership with Baseball analytics firm Inside Edge to update daily players ratings every day of the 2016 season. Overall this year’s installment is great, but could use a kick in the rear to add a Drivatar feature to select modes.

I also dived back into Road Not Taken last night. Fun little rouge-lite puzzler that does my head in sometimes.

_{Please watch the language -Tasuki-}

Chipping my way through waste of skin playthrough on Bloodborne without leveling. It sure is tough.

Although I'm certain my time would be better spent playing through the dark souls games again whilst anticipating the release of DaS3, the mechanics of bloodborne will undoubtedly be the most similar. Here's hoping I can actually finish the challenge though!

Rebel Galaxy. Finally made enough dough to buy one of the really big boats

Losing myself in Far Cry Primal!!! Love the Far Cry formula!!! Hunting/scavenging to level up my kit/skills/village is a gaming fave of mine! Really underrated game! If you loved the previous Far Cry games, you'll love this!!!

@Sanquine Funny enough, I had to write a thesis last year for a Masters, and the Witcher 3 was the first game I played after finishing it too! Great game to lose youself in I found, exactly what I wanted!

@CrushdSheep That sounds ridiculously hardcore!

PS4 - Bloodborne's DLC
XOne - Quantum Break

This weekend I've been playing uncharted 3 remastered, have the platinums for the other two! Can't wait for theifs end. Played through a bit of the final fantasy xv demo and played some Muramasa rebirth on my vita.

im gonna play demo of final fantasy and tales of BL .i want to buy dark souls remaster to just hype myself for dark souls 3

Playing Dark Souls 2 on PS4 and loving it! Whilst also need to get back to leveling up on the Division!

Still playing Dark Souls 2 in anticipation of Dark Souls 3!

Well, I finished Uncharted 3 in anticipation of 4, and I also finished my play through of Knack. I'll try to squeeze in some MLB 16 The Show, and The Division as well.

@Majic12 I cant wait either i never saw it before but after the few trailers i was sold. This game looks kinda cool 2 Chronicles of Teddy: Harmony of Exidus.

@ztpayne7 I used the internet for some of the riddles but it still took ages. Some of the riddles where insane and i could get back in Wayne Towers so i had to go back 3/4 hours thank God i had a double save. But i was all worth it.

@Scorpio73 Is Knack worth the money Im really not sure i should get it?

@Flaming_Kaiser I got it for $7.50 on a sale so it was well worth that. Full price is a different story though. Fun little romp of a game at least.
