Seems that gaming is an afterthought for much of our team this week, as this latest edition of WAYP is dreadfully short. Still, that happens from time to time, and so the pressure's on you to pad out the comments section with tales of your weekend gaming itinerary.

When I'm not cleaning up the remaining quests in Horizon: Zero Dawn, I'll be investing hours into another game which I can't really talk about yet. It's been a busy start to the year.
Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor
Despite me doing nothing but slag it off since it was first revealed, I'm actually having fun with Ghost Recon: Wildlands. The open beta shows genuine promise when teamed up with the right people, and although it definitely falls victim to feeling like it's been churned out of the Ubisoft Open World Games Factory, the series' tactical roots do emerge in entertaining ways. I hope to sink more hours in over the weekend.

I'd love to give you a long list of exciting games I'll be playing over the weekend, but I respect everyone far too much to lie to you. The dirty truth is that I'll be playing so much Smite it might be time to consider seeking professional help. [FFS - Ed]
That's it from us this week, then β it's over to you. What are you playing this weekend? You know the drill; drop your plans in the comments section below.

@get2sammyb have you sacked everyone? That's the shortest wayp ever!
This weekend I'm on P4G and DariusBurst. Both amazing games.
Looking forward to Horizon and Neir (I hope playing those back to back doesn't somehow ruin them both) so this weekend will be a quiet one game wise. I'm doing a second run through of Fez to keep me busy, I love that game so much. But first I'm off for a blat on my bike....OUTSIDE!!!
Ghost Recon Wildlands open beta
And G.T.A.5 online.
In no mood to play anything specific uuntil Horizon, so most probably will kill some time with different games
@themcnoisy Haha! I think we've had one shorter than this before.
Just finished world of final fantasy and loved it. Potentially more than 15 which is lunacy. I'll either be finishing some trophies on it, playing rock band rivals, or something else to wait til horizon on Tuesday.
I'll just be playing a few hours of For Honor or trying to only play a few hours π
@kyleforrester87 Same here, well, maybe except the bike. I think I will play through the Gravity Rush 2 demo, having played Nier's last night. Damn, how will I fit Horizon and Nier, I think I will just have to hold off buying the latter...
It's a sunny day here but it's still cold; I can't find my thermal shirt so biking would be too risky for my health... There's always a good excuse to play more Nioh!
Since I finished Gravity Rush 2 and it's only a few days left until Horizon Zero Dawn is released, I decided I should beat Gravity Rush Remastered (and get the platinum) before Tuesday.
While I wait to roll around as Aloy, I thought I'd give the Nier demo another blast and it really does feel good to play. Another game to look forward to in this busy busy spring.
I too will be playing some Wildlands open beta. I didn't really like the game at first, but it grew on me as I played.
@kyleforrester87 On Wildlands I was able to make my avatar look like Big Boss. Seriously except for the eyepatch being on the wrong eye (can't be swapped over for some reason) he's literally Big Boss.
Trying to finish Nioh before HZD!
@get2sammyb @themcnoisy Haha. Nope I just lost track of time this week with work and then me getting sick I totally forgot about WAYP this week. My apologies fellows.
So this weekend I will be playing a bit of MWR with it being a double XP weekend and working on my Witch Doctor in Diablo III.
Still getting all Diva F 2nd unlockables. I got a bunch of Dreamcast games on PS3 so I will be trying those. Jet Set Radio, Sonic Adventure 2 and Crazy Taxi.
Was playing Ratchet and Clank yesterday, nearly at the end of that I think so might finish it off tomorrow. I've been playing Child of Light on my Vita the last week as I'm away from home, probably play some more of that tomorrow eve after a drive to Dublin. Both very pretty games though I find both of them a bit too simple for my tastes, good enough fun though
Finishing up U4 I think, just started chapter 20. And Knack, though only chapter 6 in that so a ways to go yet I think. Finished FFXV Monday night, waiting for Gladiolus DLC to drop before going back in.
@Giygas_95 lol almost a good enough reason for me to try a Ubisoft AAA!
So on time wasting duties till Horizon Zero Dawn. I've had blocked sinuses all week so been reluctant to play VR as thought I might chunder. So defo Arkham VR and I basically bought Battlefront so I could try the X-Wing experience on VR. I might actually try Battlefront main game whereby if anyone is still on the servers, I'll get my backside handed to me, get angry and vow to not play a MP arena game ever again.
I'm playing the waiting on Horizon game. It's not very fun.
I will be finishing The Wolf Among Us. I'm on the last episode. Then I'll try to make as much progress on The Witcher 3 as I can as I will be taking a break from it when Horizon arrives this Tuesday. And maybe I'll give Ghost Recon beta a try.
Nier Automata for me this weekend. That's all in need. Would be perfect if I manage to plat this before horizon arrives next week. But highly unlikely.
A bit of time off from gaming in preparation for Horizon so I'm going to talk to my wife and watch some TV. Actually you know what just pass me the VR and I'll play some Driveclub π
I'm finally playing HOLLOW KNIGHT!!
Freaking newcastle is losing so I will lose my football bet and I can't buy For Honor (since my money is saved for Horizon)...oh well, back to Nioh
PS4: Beyond Two Souls, NiOh NG+
PSVR: Resident Evil 7
PSVita: Persona 3 Portable
Now that I've finished the main campaign in NiOh I'm managing to tear myself away from the game a little.
I'll be returning to my playhrough of RE7 on PSVR which I've abruptly cut short & hopefully finish P3P this week.
Also playing Beyond: Two Souls in between games...It's not that bad! I don't get the hate. No where near as good as Heavy Rain, but it's not terrible.
Bought Resident Evil VII when I preorderd Horizon so played some of that in VR...then after having to finish and change my pants I've decided to continue the game in non VR..
I also finished Deus Ex Mankind Divided this week which was ace!But I notice from the trophies it looks like there was a few quests I missed?so may go back to it.
World Of Final Fantasy,Ys Origins and Psychonauts will also get a look in
@kyleforrester87 I wanted to post a picture, but I don't know how to. Anyway, it certainly made me enjoy the game more. When I get the full game I'm absolutely playing through it as Big Boss.
Here's some examples although this person didn't use the shaggy haircut style for some odd reason (which looks exactly like Big Boss's mullet).

I'm getting together with 8-10 friends to play a PES2017 tournament and may also give another chance to FIFA ,my friend keeps on insisting.
Also I'm playing South Park the stick of truth in my old PS3.
Finally got the platinum for shantae half genie hero, it's my 2nd run but I still want to replay it again. Also playing transformer devastation, after that gravity rush remastered.
Im laid up at the moment after my op, so I am going to try and get through my backlog of games. Dishonored 2 is up first.
PS4- Yakuza 0, WWE 2K17, and King of Fighters 14.
Xbox One- GTA5, Killer Instinct, and Dead or Alive 5 LR
3DS- Animal Crossing New Leaf, Monster Hunter 4/Generations
I'm going to attempt to finish up all the RE7 achievements before Horizon and zelda get here next week. I finally jumped into the DLC last night, and there's a lot more than I thought in terms of content. The minigames are actually a lot of fun, and reminiscent of mercenaries and horde mode. All S ranks on Jack's birthday was ROUGH.
@rjejr How was FFXV in your opinion? I have it but I'm a bit weary of adding into my rotation, especially with Horizon and Zelda coming out. Plus I know they plan on adfing/improving story content in the future. Better to hold off for a few months?
PS Vita - Finishing up Trails of Cold Steel 2 finally. It's been alot easier to push forward while on a work trip. Will probably play a little Shantae Half Genie Heroe as well.
PS4 - On ice until I pop in Horizon next week.
I've been playing the arcade mode in Doom the last few days, just high score chasing. Not gonna start anything big right before BotW...
@daveh30 I might be ready for another Doom play through, good shout! Will get back on that tomorrow to tide me over to Horizon.
Picked up Scholars of the First Sin in the sale last weekend, so I'll be trudging along in that (with spurts of Rocket League, as always) until I get my hands on Nier.
N64 games
mario kart 64
mario 64
goldeneye
F zero X
and Smash Bros
Well I just have a new PSN account, so later on, I will be playing uncharted the nathen drake collection. PSN Jon torn 542. I'm not really jontron.
Nioh, Nioh, Nioh and, oh yeah, more Nioh.
FFXV, chapter 8, lvl 50. Been doing 'some' side quests for the trophies. Contemplating if I keep doing random stuff improving my team or just progress with the main story. Read there's still lots of stuff to do after the story, but for some reason I keep losing myself in these side quests π
Hoping to finish Mirrors Edge catalyst this weekend. If you liked the first one then this is more of the same, just with lots more opportunites to keep running.
-On my PS4 Pro I finished Rise Of The Tomb Raider and now I'm playing through Titanfall 2's campaign. I heard great things about the story, but wanted to hold off for a sale because FPS have short campaigns. Got it for $20 at Best Buy. Plan to finish it before the weekend is over.
-On my 2DS I've been playing Pokemon Yellow version via the Virtual Console.
I have my Switch on Preorder for Friday, but I don't know if I'll cancel it or keep it. There's so many great PlayStation exclusives out and coming out soon, while Zelda is the only game worth playing on the Switch for a while.
Ghost Recon Wildlands beta, and The Last Guardian.
For Honor plus maybe Wildlands since I heard they added a new map to the Open Beta.
I've been playing Ghost Recon Wildlands beta and I quite like it. It does feel a lot like The Division to actually play but sneaking up on enemy camps through the dense grass reminds me so much of Far Cry 2. Also, taking down 3-4 enemies at once with your squad feels great.
For me I've been working on the plat for Lego Force Awakens to try and finish as much as possible before Horizon drops on Tuesday. Already downloaded on my Pro with a nice counter letting me know how much more time to wait. Other than that the usual few matches on Yu-Gi-Oh legacy of the duelist.
Well I dumped DS3 and started playing MGS5 again but now I'm playing the Ghost Recon beta and loving it. Wasn't on my radar but getting it soon as completed Horizon zero dawn. Or even just play them at same time.
One of my friends convinced me to get off the crack (RE7) and download the Wildlands beta. We got two other friends and actually had a blast. The game is far from perfect, but it is still a ton of fun. So much to customize, unlock, and approach fights with different strats. Had to turn up the difficulty though, AI is pretty terrible.
Ark ofc, nothing else really tickle's my fancy, might get For Honor at some point. Tried the Wildland beta but it sux, even on the hardest difficulty you can just see your objective 3 miles away, pick a vehicle I drove a clapped out old camper van (it doesnt matter which they are almost all indestuctable from anything aside gunfire), and you can drive in a straight line GTA5 style, up mountains down ravines 30ft cliffside drop's etc etc and get to your objective,throw in the fact it's to easy and the AI sux and we have an average game on the Horizon, fun for an hour or so but boring atfer a while.... you don't need tactic's either, you can use em if you want but they really aint needed.
Picked up Mafia 3 and Dirt Rally VR recently. Trying to hone my Rally Skills, love this game in VR!
