A bit of inside baseball: your humble host is horrible at organising WAYP every week. Despite the feature being in its 116th instalment, you could probably count on one hand the number of times this editor has contacted his team on time in order to solicit entries for the article. This time it's finally come to bite this shamed scribe in the ass.

I really want to bring you some deeper impressions of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's multiplayer mode, but because the game's not officially out yet, the servers are wonky to say the least. I'll be spending my weekend trying to get online so that I can play a few more rounds.
Alex Stinton, Reviewer
With our review copy arriving fashionably late, my weekend will be spent playing Battleborn, Battleborn, and more Battleborn. That said, I may also dip back into the Overwatch beta, which, just for the record, is a very different game to Battleborn!
Simon Fitzgerald, Reviewer
This weekend I'll be trying out the Overwatch beta. I've played a few games so far and it's an absolute blast. It's even convinced me to pre-order the game.

A game has finally come along to distract me from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, and that game is Overwatch. I'll be playing the Overwatch beta this weekend, waiting feverishly for when it releases in a few weeks.

Still playing ni no kuni (ps3) after 4 weeks, almost done with the main game. Just bought saints row 3 goty, L.A. noire goty, tekken 6 and prototype 1 for ps3 for only €20 so I think I'm going to do L.A. noire next.
Overwatch Beta till it ends.
Uncharted 4, Alienation, Bravely Second and gunna enjoy this nicer weather a bit, too! Wish I had a boat!
Tried overwatch beta enough to know that i don't need it this summer. It needs a LOT of balancing. I can wait until fall or winter and pick it up at a discount.
I will be grinding out camo's and Cryptokeys in BO3 until the biggest game release of the year (for me) on May 10th - Uncharted 4!!
I so can't wait for next week's WAYP when people share their thoughts on Uncharted 4. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
Just random games this weekend as I count down the days until May 10.
a bit of Overwatch and a bit of Grand Kingdom (thanks for the Beta code by the way ^_^ )
Trying to finish up Sleeping Dogs before a certain game comes out Tuesday...
Waiting for Monday with random games and demos. At the moment BO3 for the 2xcryptokeys
I finally slayed the dragon of Dragon ball Xenoverse and got that hard fought platinum, so now it'll be a little Arkham Knight or PvZ GW2 till Uncharted 4 on Tuesday.
KOF 2000 and Rocket League,......just waiting for Uncharted 4,.....
Well I won't be playing Trails Of Cold Steel as I finally finished it since starting it in February.Clocking up 94 hours..an excellent Jrpg!
Will get to concentrate more on Ratchet and Clank now..not even checking the trophies on it yet so can't say anything about glitches trophies but the game is amazing and I hope it lasts forever..which I doubt..
Also playing Dying Light,Wolfenstein The Old Blood and some online fun with table top races..because it's only me and my nephew that enjoys it apparently.
After picking up several games in the latest sale, I'll be playing a selection of games including AC: Black Flag (finally took the plunge on this in the sale), Trials: Fusion, Dark Souls III, Smite, Borderlands The Handsome Collection and finally Trails in the Sky SC. Reading back over this, I'll be lucky to get to half those games in truth!
@vegeta11 nice, i am missing ONE trophy on DBXV and i can't get it because for some reason no matter what i do one PQ will NOT drop the last super move i need
i think it's a glitch because no way can it not drop after 4 months of doing the same mission
bit of ratchet and clank and a bit more of batlleborn
Shantae on Wii U. Spent $1 to get Affordable Space Adventures but I like Shantae a lot more, which is impressive b/c I don't like retro graphics or 2D platformers, but this one is well balanced.
I'm also 3 hours into Bioshock but decided to play straight thru Shantae until the end. Actually until it gets too hard probably world 4 or 5 will do me in.
Only four guys? Someone's slacking.
I'll probably just play some random games. Maybe continue trophy hunting, I dunno.
@get2sammyb Next week I'll probably just say I'm playing Uncharted 3 so I can still belong.
@rjejr
It had to be you to spend the absolute minimum in the humble bundle And to add some extra fuel to the fire, look how they say @$$ in this article and get away with it, but p*ss is a no no.
Back on topic (not really back since I was never on topic before) I am still trying to get to A+ on Splatoon. I am also replaying Korra on the hardest difficulty (while I havent even beaten Devastation) and will try to plat it. If my U4 gets here before the next WAYP I will consider myself uberlucky.
@FullbringIchigo which attack are u missing?
@vegeta11 Super Dragon Flight from PQ 19 Lets Train
@FullbringIchigo do you use the trick to always guarantee ultimate finish?
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3
I will copy and paste next week.
@vegeta11 no i don't use any tricks but i know how to get all the Ultimate finishes anyway
Xbox 360: Sonic the Fighters, playing against my daughter for fun, she loves Sonic.
Windows 10: The Little Mermaid: Undersea Treasures!, also back on this with my daughter.
PlayStation Vita: The Walking Dead, Starting the second episode, love this so far!
@FullbringIchigo what I meant is if you kill Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta & then Piccolo in that order Gohan will always revive to give you a chance for the skill since it only drops from the ultimate finish.
Fallout survivor mode playthrough. This mode makes the game twice as good as it is.
I've re-subscribed to FFXIV ARR so I'll be grinding on that too.
When I have time I play Overwatch...SO FREAKING GOOD. Love it.
I am also doing a speedrun of uncharted 1, 2, 3 in my PS3 until Friday (yes, i will only have it friday D: )
@get2sammyb amazon's dispatched my copy of uncharted so may get it Monday can't wait
Bought UC4 today, but I'm too hooked to Overwatch atm to play it :S
I'm still playing the brilliant r and c so much fun. Also playing cold steel on vita and God of War, not a bad psp game and I love a GOW game. If I have time I'll try out the beta of grand kingdoms.
Destiny, Dark Souls II and something on Vita.
I would like to say I am playing a wide range of games this weekend but Dark Souls 3 has got hold of me and I am playing nothing else.
I am still exploring the the Undead Berg and finding new stuff. And I have got to the bonfire in the next area. I will go onwards soon.
@Wazeddie22 well done on 94 hrs that's a fast time I'm probably going to clock in at 120 but I'm playing on hard.one of the boss fights lasted 30 min's . And I agree it's an excellent jrpg. FYI the 2nd installment in the trilogy is out this October if u didn't know already. Will be nice to see how the characters turn out.
@Hego I've always wondered how you play and finish so many games. Then I realise what you do for a living.
Noisy 28 days holiday < Hego 28 weeks holiday.
I need to re-educate myself.
Been playing the Uncharted Collection and I've just started UC3. I'll have to race through it as there is a very real possibility of me holding UC4, but not being able to play it.
@vegeta11 i always do it, Piccolo,Trunks Vegeta, Goku and Gohan and it always activates
the only conditions for activating the ultimate finish is to defeat Trunks before Vegeta and then Goku before Gohan
thanks anyway ^_^
I'll be trying to get my platinum on Ratchet and Clank so I can focus on Uncharted in a few days time. Just need to save up for the omega Ryno now as well as a few others but I'm still having so much fun.
@Neolit really? I got it quite early in challenge mode but I spam it all the time, the hardest trophy for me was that first race in under 1.35. I just need to level up my weapons and finish challenge mode for my Platinum, hope you enjoyed the game as much as I have.
@Wazeddie22 wow nice list btw i just got a vita and only own soul sacrifice and 10 hours in and i need more games so can you recommend some for me, hopefully Trails of cold steal was on your vita not the ps3
Uncharted 4 for me, since The Game Collection dispatched my copy early and it arrived today. Won't post any spoilers, but I've played for about 4 hours and have only just got to the start of the 'real' story.
It feels so much more...mature... than the previous games, but still stacks of fun. Anyway, gotta get back to it! TTFN!
@Paranoimia So lucky D: I am so hyped for it and I can't believe I have to wait for another week of college xD

@Illusionistt I'm playing cold steel on the vita the version is just as good but the colours are a bit washed and not as bright as ps3, apart from that it's great.
I wasn't impressed at all by overwatch. It seems incredibly shallow if you ask me, but I'm glad others like it.
@Illusionistt
Oh, and Breath of Fire 3 and 4. Love those games. If you can stomach JRPG's from that era of course.
@Illusionistt cheers! Trails of cold Steel was on the ps3 rather than the vita,although I was conflicted on which version to buy.
It seems a few have already beaten me and recommended some vita games..all of which I agree on...the ones I have played anyway
But I'd also highly recommend Tales of Hearts R and Ys Memories of Celceta and also Daganronpa 1 and 2
@JaxonH Wow man thank you very much for this list and actually I'm going to favourite it in my email so i can use it frequently and I'll probably get most of those games but I'll start with persona 3 for its dark story and then follow up maybe with severd, again thank you very much for your time and effort ^^
@Rapid had no idea it was out in October..cheers for that you just made my day 120 hours eh? That's impressive on hard! I played it on normal but still struggled on some bosses.The sequel is meant to be even bigger and a proper open world this time round.And I doubt it's going to be just school and field trips this time
@JaxonH too bad though xenogears and chrono trigger isn't available in the uk ps store
@Wazeddie22 Yeah thanks for the add on now my wishlist consists of 40 games but thats a good thing
@JaxonH those two aren't available on the uk store.... damn I'm beginning to think making a uk account was a bad idea.
@Wazeddie22 yeah I'm a big fan falcom really kick started the whole jrpj video game genre and inspired square to make final fantasy my favourite franchise of all time. I had been looking for a good rpg on the vita but now I'm going to pick up the ps3 version too.The combat is awesome in cold steel and a open world will be so cool in 2.
@Illusionistt
I'm in the US so maybe it's only available here?
Can see if it's sold on PS3 though. Valkyria Chronicles 2 isn't sold on the store here, but I had my brother buy it on my account using his PS3 then run it into my Vita unofficially.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, i am addicted to this game on the vita.
I need to finish the last two episode off "life is strange" on the ps4. Before i look at uncharted.
Played Bloodborne every weekend since release and now Dark Souls 3.
@NinjaWaddleDee I personally think the game becomes far better and more deep when you can actually communicate with your teammates. If you can't do that, like the majority of players right now are unable to, the game doesn't play nearly as well. This is why the game costing so much becomes an issue: if you want to play seriously and get to the real meat of the game, you might have to get five friends to also buy it.
@wariowarewolf Good point. Maybe it would have been better for them to also launch the console version for 40 instead of 60.
@Neolit you know I never played Tools of Destruction for whatever reason, a mistake I'm going to correct. I gave my PS3 to my step son and have just bought him the original trilogy and Tools of Destruction in the current sale for a total of £14, so I may have to play it when he's at school. Good luck with the trophy
Just put the final nail in dark souls 3 coffin so I'll probably just keep playing that until Uncharted 4 arrives.
@themcnoisy We teachers need all the holidays we can get! Also I', only a student-teacher atm so I've even more time off
@Illusionistt Just so you know, there's two Trails games available on Vita from the PSP store section, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and Trails in the Sky SC (Second Chapter). I'd highly recommend the first one of you like JRPG's, I've on;y played through the start of the second but it's looking great so far
@Hego Yeah after i saw alot of people recommend the game i got confused on which one to buy but thanks to google and you i know i have to play the first one.
@sinalefa By spending the minimum I'm doing a service to everyone else by helping to keep the overall average down.
You know, if ASA and Shantae had demos, maybe I would like them enough to buy them, so I just think of these as $1 demos and maybe I'll pay more for other games by the company. Same for PS+. I've purchased games I never finished when I had them as PS+ rentals. Guess when I get a PS4 I'll need PS+ forever though, so I'll always have those games as rentals and I'll never need to purchase them afterwards.
I do miss demos. We probably would have purchased Project Guard by now if it had a demo to hook us in. My kids wanted to play it, but I think we've moved on. Wii U may be a dead console but w/ 3DS and PC and out huge back log we don't really need new games. Well unless we g=can get them for $1.
Late to this as had some bad news this weekend and not got on much. Tinkering around on Wolfenstein, trying to complete it on Uber to get tbe plat. But all I am really doing is watching the mailbox for UC4. Why hasn't amazon despatched my copy yet? Damn you Bezos.
@Rapid oh,never knew it was thanks to them the Final Fantasy series started Final Fantasy used to be my fave series too.in fact it's because of those games all I would play were rpgs only!Unfortunately after the release of Final Fantasy XIII..I lost hope in them and didant bother with part 2 or 3 but the upcoming one looks amazing I gotta say
Still prefer turn based rpgs that's why Trails is so good,like you say the combat style is amazing!
I just started a new Fallout 4 game on survival
So I'll be playing that for the next ten years
@Rudy_Manchego sorry about the bad news.hope it isant the kind to ruin your week..
I have had no email for Uncharted either but looking on my account it is saying I won't receive till the 11th!
@Wazeddie22 yeah falcom were the first to make a rpg in japan but they made games for pc, then came nintendo with there consoles and square took inspiration for there last ditch attempt finalfantasy. I completely agree about 13 but I did enjoy 13- 2 too little too late though on square Enix 's part. The next installment looks set to make final fantasy epic once more.
@Wazeddie22 nihon falcon developed a rpg called dragon slayer which basically set up the game play mechanics found in most jrpgs today. I love the games they make and I'm so glad cold steel has made it's way to playstation.😁
Getting the omega variants on all the guns in Ratchet and Clank. I must say, Insomniac has done an incredible job making each gun feel different, and fun to use. Challenge mode is where all the weapons really start to shine and it's been a while since I beat a game and immediately started a second play through to maximize everything on offer. It truly is a steal at 40 bucks and I'll be going for my platinum soon enough!
I've been focusing on Dark Souls 3 since I've been slacking on getting play time in these past couple weeks. I'll be playing Uncharted 4 pretty much all next week when it launches!
@Wazeddie22 Thanks bro - unfortunately a family thing, however after your message I checked Amazon and it is still marked as despatch for tomorrow for delivery tuesday. Really hope it is!! I am hyped to the max...
Didn't bother with the Overwatch beta. Played a load of FIFA 16, Rocket League, Trackmania Turbo and a little Destiny.
