The clocks are changing here in the UK, which means that life's about to get approximately 3.23 per cent more depressing starting Saturday evening. It's a good thing that there's PlayStation to keep us pre-occupied from the miserable mire that this existence involves, eh?

I've been yanked back into the real world of late, but I'm looking forward to returning to my virtual vacation soon β life's much less complicated in PlayStation VR anyway. I've still got a slew of games that I need to review, so I'm going to try and polish those off over the next few days.

I'm partying like it's 2011 this weekend, as I'll be starting The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for... the eighth time? Maybe the ninth? I don't know, I don't keep track, but what I do know is that by this point, Skyrim is like a second home to me, and I'm weirdly happy to be playing it all over again on PlayStation 4. Can't beat a good bit of Bethesda jank coated in luxurious God rays.

I've been away from my wonderful PlayStation VR for a couple days now, so in between watching a spate of spooky Hallowe'en movies, I'll probably be sending some time with a number of my VR titles.

This weekend, while I'm not busy writing PlayStation VR reviews, I'll be revisiting Skyrim on the PS4, and I can't wait. It's a shame weekends aren't longer β about 200 hours long would be nice.
What are you playing this weekend? Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, PlayStation VR? There's no shortage of options.
Comments 77
If I buy Titanfall 2 I'll be focusing mostly on that. If not, it'll be some Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Gargoyle's Quest.
Skyrim for me this weekend... It's so good to be back there and it's looks incredible! Here to another 200 hours
I bought XCOM2 one week ago so that will be my victim for this weekend,and maybe revisit bloodborne
Battlefield 1 and possibly Skyrim if I can squeeze it in
3DS - Fire Emblem: Fates. Does Classic, Hard Mode count if you swipe all the op skills from other players castles? π
ZX Spectrum - Curse Of Sherwood. Used to be able to play straight through this. Now...not so much. π
The Witcher 3!
@Octane The Witcher 3 for me too. This fantasy soap-opera must have some hidden value if it got all those awards. A warning on the packaging saying "Attention: it may contains traces of gameplay" would be welcome.
Battlefield 1. Titanfall 2. World of Final Fantasy. Which I have fallen in love with.
Witcher III...yeah I can't stop;.
BF1 getting another game I just dunno what to get I don't fancy anything that's out atm. I'll prob get FFXV, but I wish they would knock this clock changing on the head it's far to outdated, we don't need it anymore.
Skyrim for me. 5 day weekend too, first week days off I've had this year, kill me.
i'll be jumping between Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, maybe a bit of Star Trek Online too
@andreoni79 What do you mean? The gameplay's great so far. Probably around 40-50 hours in, and it keeps getter better by the minute.
Skyrim and wrapping up collectibles in Tomb Raider. I'll be using a good ol' trusty bow in both.
I'm back in Skyrim, love it.
God Eater 2: Rage Burst, still, on PS4. Great MH clone.
STILLL playing Dark Cloud 2. Talk about old school JRPG. I've done nothing but story missions, clocked in over 50 hours of saved gameplay (died a ton, the game is tough) & I'm still NOT DONE. Don't get me wrong really like it, but boy I'm getting overwhelmed by my backlog.
I'll be picking up Xenoverse 2 tomorrow, so I'll wind down my weekend awakening my inner Super Saiyan
The never-ending problems with moving mean I'll be on my vita as all else packed away. Quite looking forward to the excuse to play it . As I only ever get the chance when on holiday. I filled my 64gb card and have so many games I've never played, maybe just finish off tareaway and a little borderlands 2, and some soldner-x
@Octane I don't know what is wrong with me but I'm not enjoying it at all. Too much talking and rare, simple fights. Geralt is a hunter but there's not satisfaction or worthy rewards in hunting. To complete a missione is just like "mmh...OK...". I'm LVL 23, +80 hours, but I'm still waiting for something epic to happen.
titanfall 2 and battlefield 1
I haven't actually started it yet, but when I get the chance, I'm gonna take the plunge and try Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. I've only played three fire emblem games before, and they're apparently the easiest ones, so I'm not sure how I'm going to fare, but it looks like a really good game, so I can't resist at least giving it a go
@Fight_Teza_Fight i got XV2 yesterday, much improved over the first game
@icarusdreams So have i. I love the music in WoFF! Caught a Black Chocochick and a Black Nakk. Named him InuYasha lol.
I have taken my first tentative steps into Skyrim having never got round to it on the PS3 - I have just killed my first dragon.
Probably won't play anything else this weekend.
Skyrim! So far they did a wonderful job on this! Hasnt even hinted at freezing or glitching yet, granted im only about 12 hours in so far.
Good job you reminded us of the clocks changing,had totally forgotten!
I'll be playing more Rise Of the Tomb Raider which I'm loving far more than I ever did Uncharted 4..sorry,but it's true.
Will have to get some Dragon Quest Builders time too as I haven't played that this week.
And as hyped as I was/am for World Of Final Fantasy,it is still wrapped and unplayed..not found any time yet!
Finished playing miku diva x, already cleared all song on easy and normal, don't have the energy to replaying it again for voltage needed for the final song. Just give me the final song and ending sega, I already played the game for 8+ hour, I don't need to play more
Now I'm playing battlefield 1, my titanfall 2 disc should arrive on monday, and after that 2 game I'll play rise of the tomb raider. World of final fantasy (artbook edition like tomb raider, yay ) still unopened since I'm focusing on short games first, also I should finish gravity rush remastered before the second one come out.
@FullbringIchigo Good to hear! Would've picked it up on the way to work, but GAME was selling it for Β£50. My local supermarket has it for Β£39 so I'll have to endure a day.
Wish I played the original on PS4 rather than PS3 now, would've been neat to carry over my character. Oh well.
Battlefield1 all the way!
Oh my seems like I forgot about this week's WAYP then again after catching a nasty cold bug I haven't been gaming much lately.
I think today I will try my luck at some more Halloween skins in Overwatch.

"Rise Of the Tomb Raider which I'm loving far more than I ever did Uncharted 4... sorry, but it's true"
Nothing to be sorry about. If it's a better game it's a better game. And that's exactly what I've been saying from day one.
As for World of Final Fantasy, if you're playing the physical Vita version, you actually have to search the store for the English dialogue and download it separately. It's not included with the update patch in nothing in the game case mentions you needing to go to the store and search for it separately. Just thought I'd mention that and potentially save you some trouble because, I just had to deal with that whole situation myself.
Just started Transformers Devastation and will be playing Animal Crossing waiting on Jack to arrive on Monday.
Getting on some fighting games on PS4 with Street Fighter V, King of Fighters 14, Skullgirls, and Injustice. Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One and maybe some Killer Instinct. Animal Crossing and Ace Attorney on 3DS.
All VR for me, Tethered, Thumb-per and Driveclub mostly
@Fight_Teza_Fight you can, they added a Data Transfer option, i think you have to update the PS3 version first though (i had the first on PS4 so i didn't have to use it)
@andreoni79 you aren't alone. The game put me to sleep, and I mean that literally not hyperbollically. Its all talk and travel, with almost no gameplay. And where there is some action, its relatively mindless hack and slash with no depth. the character progression (skills/etc) were similarly meaningless I found. I pushed and pushed and eventually just gave myself permission to stop like 2/3 the way through the main game (Brothers in arms quest). Maybe one day I'll return to it... but probably not.
I will say that this game taught me a lot about what I like in a game and what I don't nowadays.
I work weekends, so when my off days roll around, it'll be Battlefield 1 & Skyrim Remastered. I'll also be preparing for PS4 Pro this week by purchasing a 4K TV, so I guess I'll get that wallet ready...
Back with my VR so going to try Battlezone with the new patch, see if I can get further into it. Also going to continue Fez on my Vita as it is rather ace.
For me it's just battlezone , tethered , Valkyrie and driveclub . It seems to me like I'm getting used to psvr more and more Definitely must try some drifts in driveclub if I will feel any dizziness at all
I've had friends over this weekend up from the big smoke, and another legend over from Fife. So a crazy night in Liverpool was had. I'm unlikely to game much but hopefully a quick game of Need for speed rivals and a few warm ups for Tuesdays biggest ever Rocket League Tournament is on the cards Sunday.
Playing through Tales of Graces F with my wife, and Smite when she's busy.
@get2sammyb "which means that life's about to get approximately 3.23 per cent more depressing starting Saturday evening. It's a good thing that there's PlayStation to keep us pre-occupied from the miserable mire that this existence involves, eh?"
You alright Sammy?
@Mega-Gazz bingo. (Beautiful looking game, though.)
@themcnoisy Haha, sure.
@get2sammyb We still have another week to go here in the US before we turn our clocks back.
Battlezone and Tethered for me! Pleasantly surprised to find that most people chat in Battlezone. Must have something to do with a live mic being next to your face by default. So far, everyone's been friendly enough, even though I had no clue what I was doing.
I've had a night of Halo MCC and Gears Ultimate both in co op and tonight I'm hitting up Dark Souls 3 DLC with my co op pal, looking forward to being back in the DS world.
Planning on picking up BF1 and Titanfall2. Nothing but FPS madness this weekend.
Finally getting that platinum on grim fandango, maybe some pokemon
@Wazeddie22 I've only just started Tomb Raider but it seems to be a lot better than the last one which I never really got in to. Waiting for my Pro before playing anymore so I can see it all in shiny 4K but I'm so tempted to play now.
Until then I'm back on Destiny and hopefully getting a chance to do some Raids finally. Also I'm still debating getting Skyrim, I put a lot of time into it on PS3 and I've basically seen everything but I'd like to see it again and in more than 10fps π
@JaxonH Hey,yeah cheers for the heads up! But I bought the game on ps4 as that's the system I spend most of my time on.Very strange you have to D/l English voices though..especially seeing as you get the jap voice overs dlc preordering the game on ps4..weird!
Yeah ROSTR is an amazing game,loved Uncharted 4 but I think Miss Crofts adventure beats Nathans hands down
@carlos82 I loved the first one to be honest but im really enjoying this new one far more.I'm not getting myself a pro despite recently buying a 4k tv but I wouldn't wait to play it because the game really does look amazing as is!
I'm also trying to decide if I should get Skyrim...played over 100 hours on the 360 but would really love to play it again...trouble is I only game a few hours a day so really don't have enough time for games I havent played let alone ones I already have!
@FullbringIchigo Didn't know that. Unfortunately my PS3 kicked the bucket earlier in the year, so data transfer isn't an option for me. Probably for the best I start out new.
Batman VR .... everyday - not bored of it yet!!! Just finished Wayward Sky ... gorgeous visuals and story - puzzles are a tad repetative though. End scene on top of the robot is about as epic as games gets!! Then Emily Wants To Play .... if im brave enough. Playing it with the VR headset really ups the scariness! Had to yank it off a few times!
Holiday season at work so my weekends are getting super crazy. But when my off days arrive I'll be into Mad Max, Skyrim Remastered and Battlefield 1.
Working but will try and squeeze some Battlefield 1 in , would like to get to rank 10 in MP if possible.
Rise of the Tomb Raider which has been excellent so far & COD4 Remastered trying to get Mile High Club done on veteran but I'm having zero luck doing so - only trophy I need for the Platinum
@GlynCR nice results this weekend in the footy. I always have to click on your avatar to check your not a Manc, it's that weird Liverpool charity kit , it kind of looks like the old Man U Vodafone kit. #YNWA
@Thegentleman I applaud you sir or madam as the case my be. Iv been wantr to plat Grim Fandango but haven't gotten bck to it all year.
@Wazeddie22 @JaxonH i was up in the air about which version to get but the lack of a digital preorder on Vita tipped the scales for me as i would have to import physical versions and pay more. But wow does it look good on PS4! Glad i can stream and record videos too.
@3Above
I definitely plan to get it on PS4 too. I'm just going to wait for a price drop since there's no reason to pay $60 for both platforms when I only need one of them right now. I have Type 0 and X/X-2 on PS4, with FF7 and FFXII and FFXV locked in on PS4. So of course I'm gonna need to snag WoFF to keep the collection all in one place, on one console with the best possible visuals. Probably even grab FFIV also if I ever find someone to play with.
I just fired up Tethered for the first time. Completely blown away. That and EVE for me
Holy crap... An earthquake in the morning is NOT welcome. I'm 80 km from the epicenter and tired of running out of my house...
If you wonder why I'm writing here, it's just to pretend it's all right... I just wanna waste my Sunday playing videogames...
Played some Don't starve together on Friday night, great fun.
I'm addicted to Homefront: The Revolution , but I'm trying to play something more Halloween-ish, like DOOM. Just got Overwatch from a friend, and I also ordered Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal (3DS...$15 new) and ended up finding Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse (3DS...$50) in the package instead. SHOULD I KEEP IT??? With all the games I'm playing right now, it just doesn't fit in...
@MinerWilly yeah it does look like that kit haha I'll have to change that, typical Liverpool this season great going forward shocking at the back, but I'll take it if we keep winning
@andreoni79 hope you and your family are ok! Stay safe man
We are OK, thanks, but unfortunately some old towns exist no more... The only positive thing, no casualties thanks to evacuations.
Skyrim.
Wanted to jump into skyrim, but there's a severe audio quality issue on pc, and not enough mods yet to get me interested. Then i wanted to jump into TF2 or BF1, and origin was down all night. Settled for R6 siege.
Well, Titanfall 2 (bought the PS4 version) ended up being the only game in the rotation this weekend and it's awesome. Too bad EA sent it to die by releasing it between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. This is one game I wouldn't have minded seeing get pushed into next year but I guess looking at early 2017's release schedule there still wasn't a perfect time to put it out on the market then either. Probably should've released it at least three weeks ahead of BF 1.
@andreoni79 I tried so hard to like that game. I just couldn't get into it. I like making my own character in RPG games. And I usually use a big axe and or a bow. In the witcher you just get his swords and the archery sucks. Just couldn't make myself like it.
I'm working through my backlog still. Currently pursuing the platinum trophy in Valkyria Chronicles Remastered.
Titanfall 2 all weekend what a blast!!! Most fluid FPS ever!!! MO restrictions on were u can go unlike battlefield and especially Cod!!! And to top it off theres mechs!!! πππSo aliiive!!!!
