Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 199

Spending some time with GT Sport before the big update arrives

@get2sammyb No idea Sammy, they did say December? Im hoping it'll be before Xmas, but either way not long to wait, unless its been delayed.

PS4: Final Fantasy XII
PSVR: Farpoint
PSVita: MGS2

Taking a break from Skyrim & Zelda as I try to finish the campaign for FFXII & Farpoint.
Think I'm also about halfway through MGS2, which plays surprisingly well on vita, so I'll carry on with that.

Family are staying so not a huge amount. Going to try and finish Mario Odyssey. No active games for Ps4 so might try Destiny 2. But on Monday I get the Snes mini and that will take over for some time!

Away from the PS4 traveling so I will try to squeeze in some Vita time. So that means a weekend of despair with Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls.

Flew through Dark Souls II second playthrough and carried straight on into the third. If my calculations are correct the platinum should drop halfway through this run.

Cue the moment where I realise I've forgotten to give some merchant a 'Sacred Key Of Something-Or-Other' and need to play for a further 300 hours.

Drive Club. BTW- the picture of the guy shoveling snow is near my house across the pond in Brooklyn NY That's the famous Yummy Taco at Flatbush and Bergen.

I'll be near a tomato this weekend. If you know what I mean

Well, since I finished the incredibly fantastic A Hat in Time last night, I think I'm going to start on Dead Rising 4 and I'll get the new DLC for Shantae Half-Genie Hero downloaded and give that a whirl as well.

"Despite plugging four hours into the RPG last night, nothing has happened, so my experience is going pretty much exactly as I expected it to so far. I'll be committing the entirety of my weekend to working through the intro."

I've got back into Pokemon Moon quite well so think I might have that finished before Christmas. Also nearing the end of Assassin's Creed Origins so that should be done by next weekend too. If I had completed it a few weeks ago I think I would have ranked it in my best games of the year in the forum poll.

The holiday spirit has put me in a fighting mood Guilty Gear xrd Rev 2 and Injustice 2 for me.

Also bought Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo for 9.99 EUR a while ago. It doesn't look anywhere near as good as Dirt but it has a very decent Career mode, a huge amount of content and some fun challenges. It helps to improve my driving in other games as well.

PS4 :Battlefield 1
Oxenfree
Switch: GolfStory

I picked up Nier the other night, so I'll be playing that, I also got Limbo/Inside as an early Christmas gift, so I'll be playing that some time soon too! Too many games, thank goodness for vacation!

I'll probably try to finish the story in Mario Odyssey. Not sure how much longer it is, but it seems like it'll be close to wrapping up at this point.

I'll be finishing my last day of my second play through on South Park Fractured But Whole for hopefully the Token trophy to pop this time with my plat. Morgan Freeman did recognize my blackness so here's hoping it pops. If it does it will get me to my goal of 12 plats this year. After that it will be some Bayonetta 1 on PS3 and a little For a 18 Mia San Mia!

More Yakuza 0 for me this weekend, it just gets better and better. I'll also be pretending that I'm Marty Mcfly or Roger '007' Moore in GTA Online.

I'm just making slow but gradual progress in GTA 4, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Etrian Odyssey V.

On PS4 i begin play Crash Bandicoot, after Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

On PSV:

I’m back to playing Uncharted Lost Legacy and I’m throwing in some fighters. Street Fighter V and King of Fighters 14. For Switch I’ll be playing Mario Kart 8, Gunvolt, and a few Neo Geo games.
@KirbyTheVampire, what world are you in Odyssey?

Playing okami on ps4. Man this game is beautiful, the color really pop on the oled screen, the graphics, soundtrack, and story is really good.

There is very little I love in this world more than Star Wars, so just Battlefront II and Super Star Wars on PS4. I'm seeing The Last Jedi tomorrow, and I'm very, very excited! Perhaps a little bit more Zelda DLC on Switch, but we'll see.

@shonenjump86 The moon one. It's looking close to the end.

Definitely going to tackle the RE7 DLC, I've been putting it off all week. Might fire up BotW for the DLC, but after spending 100+ hours there, I've just had no motivation to return.

@KirbyTheVampire Ah, it is very close to the end. Storyline wise. You will finish it in no time.

I doubt I'll be getting much gaming time this weekend as tommorow I need to wrap up presents,write out cards and I suppose maybe put the Christmas tree and decorations up too..but when I do manage to get some time I'll be continuing Wolfenstein 2 which I'm loving and Super Mario Odyssey on Switch.
Seeing the free dlc for Resident Evil VII I'm tempted to go back to the main game as I never finished it...(not that I got too scared or anything..).

I bought an Aim controller last night, so this weekend, I have been mostly eating Doom VFR and Farpoint.

I've been playing Farpoint since getting up today and I've had my first ever VR accident. I've played before using the DS4, and when the gun overheats, I instinctively swipe the leaping spiders away from my face with the pad.

That technique didn't work so well with the Aim controller, as I forgot about the length of the device. The end of the controller made contact with a full pint of coffee, on the living room table, with enough force to launch it across the room and into the nearest wall, forcing a QRF mopping-up action to be immediately put in place, armed with a special rag.

It was quite funny, looking back, lol.

I'll be working my way through the increasingly brilliant Evil Within 2 with some of the ESO Xmas event mixed in. Weekend sorted.

Just got my PS4 Pro ! ( Xmas gift to my self) . Probably going to see how amazing Ratchet & Clank looks in 4K with HDR.

I’ve already put some time into Destiny 2 this weekend. Despite the poor reviews of the DLC, the slight improvements to the end game have made me come back hungry to grind to max power level on my warlock, hunter, and Titan. Hopefully next week’s ‘The Dawning’ event doesn’t disappoint. After I finish up my exams next week I’ll playing that like crazy.

I'm going to the theater to see star wars
If I have any spare time I'll play more crash bandicoot

@oatmealwarrior92
It’s phenomenal mate. Every level every fight is beautiful. Me I’m caught up on cod again looks and plays like you always wanted last gens to

Ive decided to ruin my recent good game run by playing a cycle of;

Pes lite ps4 (hit a ceiling were I have to pay or cant improve my team)
The rubbish free shooting vita game on the igc (deleted already)
Minesweeper touch on mobile phone (worst controls ever)

Anyone moaning about a backlog, trust me. This is worse. Roll on xmas.

@oatmealwarrior92 Congrats, I was really amazed with Ratchet & Clank on my vanilla PS4, still is one of the most beautiful games of this generation, imo. You will have a great time with your Pro.

Now I'm only playing South Park: The Fractured but Whole, it's really cool.

Tekken 7, hopefully Brawler rank by the end of this weekend. I also need to wrap up my replay of Uncharted 4 at some point.

Victory after the endless credits the Token trophy popped and I completed my South Park Plat and 12/12 for 2017.

I recently began FF XV ( my first ever FF) . I'm actually really growing to like it , Noctis is a bit of a rude knob and Prompto is annoying but Gladio and especially Ignis are great characters.
Struggling a bit with knowing what's going on with the combat but have now reached rank 21 so hoping it will click soon !

Continuing my adventure in Okami HD on PS4, and still plugging away at trails of cold steel on vita. Still just over 2 chapters to go i think. I might try and play the Resi 7 dlc aswell.

Finishing off horizon! Will be sad for it to end.

Assassin's Creed origins, im lvl 37, trying to get 40 so I can do the next God event. Also, RE7, and Wolfenstein 2 dlc.

PS4 - Resident Evil 7 DLC

Switch - Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Resident Evil Revelations Collection

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice – which is surprisingly grim, even with what I knew going in.

Don't know why, but I'm playing Fishing Planet...

@themcnoisy have you tried Darksiders 2 from the Ps Plus? It’s a pretty fun if generic but it might tide you over till next week
@Kyroki Fully agree, the Battlefield dlcs have always been good for me and this keeps up the level of quality

Between a school musical to help with and specialized tests that need correcting, I won’t be doing too much gaming, try to fit in some of the Battlefield 1 new dlc which is great and maybe some AC: Origins if finish early

@Hego I probably will later this week. Im in such a weird position I was contemplating starting ffx-2, bad times.

Super Mario oddsey on the switch. I have to say i have a lot of fun with it . Between BOTW and this i think i love Mario more ... i think its because when i play zelda i just want to explore everything .. only to be killed by guardians or much stronger foes

This weekend is nearly over, but Let It Die and Madcap Castle have my full attention.

@Rudy_Manchego I have the SNES mini to i played a little while and now its collecting dust

@Sanquine
Both games are awesome, but I also enjoyed Super Mario Odyssey more. As much fun as BotW is, I think it was a missed opportunity to not put in some more traditional style Zelda dungeons.

@Tasuki @Kyroki is it not based on the Gallipolli landings from WW1? I’m nearly sure they are? That’s why it’s British Marines as the new soldiers too
