Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 238

Persona Q (final dungeon), Yakuza Kiwami 2, Spider-Man.

Also Ace Attorney 123HD is coming to PS4!!! 🙏

This weekend I shall be raiding some tombs in Peru, web-slinging my way round New York, and competing in the F1 championship!

First up: surviving the dungeon called work. Making sure to avoid the optional boss fight. After that:

Persona 4 Golden on Vita

God of War III Remastered / Guilty Gear xrd Rev 2 / Trackmania Turbo on PS4

Have a great weekend y'all!

PS4: Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone

Switch: Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - the Golden Country

I received my copy of Dragon Quest XI, but first I want to finish the campaign of Destiny 2. After that, I still don't know if I will start Dragon Quest XI or A Hat in Time.
It's really sad about what happened with Telltale, it came from nowhere.

Final Fantasy XIII > XV for sure but they're both trash.

I decided to pick up where I left off in Skyrim with my level 50 archer/summoner character. I never did platinum this on the disastrous PS3 version so I'm gonna get it this time.

I've also started a new game in Fantasy Life on the 3DS. What an underrated gem this is from Level 5.

I caught a glimpse of Lightning in the header and almost had a heart attack, thinking we've finally had the current gen remaster announced. XD As for pitchforks, pffff. Come over here instead, folks, I am someone who ranks FFXIII trilogy above all of FFVII.

Topic at hand? Well, might do some RP today, perhaps fool around in Just Cause 3 (reluctant to advance the story much before I finish the first two games). Also grabbed Rollers of the Realm last night, and it's living up to my expectations. Pinballs with RPG mechanics are few and far between!

Got the platinum for Shenmue last weekend so now its to get started with Shenmue 2. Possibly a bit more Spider-Man also...

Dragon Quest XI (final boss, PS4), Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus (PS Vita).

Shadow of the tomb raider I'm really digging this one more than the 2nd. Maybe it's the setting?
Also valkyria chronicles remastered, and xenoblade chronicles 2 expansion

Just a little bit this weekend: Wolfenstein 2 on the PS4, and revisiting Silent Hill 2 on the PS2.

Still playing spider-man ps4, after getting all the backpack and getting rid of thug crime, now I will clear fisk tower and getting location / environment picture

Also subbing to nintendo online for 1 month (only $4), I'm playing mario 3, zelda, double dragon, excite bike, and river city ransom. I must say the nes classic ui is really slick, with nearly zero loading time when saving and changing games. While I don't want to buy nes games everytime I change nintendo console, $4 permonth for all nes game I want to play is okay I guess, only for 1 month though, it seems there's not a lot nes games thats going to be added by nintendo. I mean there's no double dragon 2, contra 1 & 2, mario 2, zelda 2, metal gear, metroid, jackal, rush'n attack and others.

I can see this will be a good service if nintendo add more other nintendo consoles games. I don't mind paying more than $20 for 1 year if nintendo put nes, snes, n64, wii and gamecube on the subs.

still on spiderman taking it slow.

well i have been playing Spider-Man so i might see if i can finish off all those side quests i still have left to do

other than that i just started a new game on KINGDOM HEARTS Final Mix HD as i want to redo the entire series before KHIII comes out, I've done Dream Drop Distance and 2.8 A Fragmentary Passage already and watched the Kingdom Hearts χ, the 358/2 Days and ReCoded Movies so it's just KHI, ReChain of Memories, KHII and Birth by Sleep left to do

Lightning is my favorite protagonist from a Final Fantasy game, so I thought we were getting a re-release of the 13 trilogy. Maybe one day.

Anyways, I'm still playing Spider-Man.

Dragon Quest XI. One of the best games I've ever played. Also playing Dragon Quest VI on my 3DS and right on the cusp of replaying Dragon Quest Heroes. Yep, I'm going through a DQ phase alright.

Lots and lots of racing on the PS4 with MotoGP 18, Nascar Heat 3, V-Rally 4, Project Cars 2, Ride 2, Gravel and MXGP Pro. Mainly Career stuff, but also some casual Time Trial driving.

@spakai Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly. Enjoy!

Nier Automata. After finally reaching the very end of the story a few days ago, I'd like to go back and do some of the side quests and other things I missed. Gotta say, it's one of my all time favourite games.

Also might play a bit more A Hat in Time and some Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked.

Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition (PS4) and Cosmic Star Heroine (PSVita). Trying to finish up some of these shorter games before VC4 comes out and I drop everything.

Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology on 3DS
Dragon Quest 11 on PS4.
Waiting for Magic Arena to go to open beta to hop back in without fear of any more wipes.

Just finished Transference it's a great game.
Also, playing Yakuza Kiwami and loving it.

I’m doing a bit of travel so I’ll be shedding some tears all weekend while I fondly miss playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Then I’ll realize I can get some time with my Vita, and shed even more tears each time I look at it taking its last gasps before it dies. 😢

Finishing up AC: Origins and probably starting Nier Automata. Also participating in double bloodpoints weekend for Dead By Daylight!

Mostly Tales of Berseria. Gonna be in this one for a long time. I'm so hyped that Tales of Xillia is finally getting remastered.

Spider-Man, Dragon Quest XI and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna and the Golden Country thing. I'm happy I haven't paid for Nintendo's online service yet.

I'm starting a new play through of Final Fantasy XV on PC having previously platinumed on PS4. I haven't touched it since all the enhancements came out including the revamped Chapter 13 that I never had a problem with in the first place. I'm choosing PC as I've just built one and need to put it through it's paces and I get to replace Noctis with Sephiroth 😁

DQXI, not very far into it as I haven't had much time to play. Hopefully will change that this weekend.

I liked FF13 alot!

Dragon Quest XI ! seriously the game of the year for me, I haven’t been this hooked to a game in a long time.

MHGU. MHW.

Awaiting my next pay to get DQXI

MHW and Spider-Man for the foreseeable future

I'll be continuing my playthrough of the fantastic Dragon Quest XI looking for more offers of 'Puff Puffs'
Spiderman also has had me addicted and I'm now on Act 3.
And as usual I'll be playing more Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on and off.

Dragon Quest XI Like others playing it, I'm finding it most excellent. The other day I reached a moment that was really emotional. I just wish there was more variation in the town music.

Steamworld Dig 2 I enjoyed the first game a lot, so got this right after finishing it. There are so many additions and improvements. It's just as addictive as before.

F*** yeah, Final Fantasy XIII! One of my top 3 favorite games of all time.

Bit of red dead and just started bayonetta, which is as mad as a box of frogs!!!

Same as last weekend... Yakuza Kiwami 2, Spider-Man and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

After platting Spider-Man last weekend, it’ll be Smite (3XP weekend!), Rocket league, Modern Warfare remaster MP and whatever I fancy to download from the PS Plus backlog. Don’t want to but anything until AC: Odyssey drops

Capcom Beat em up, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Street Fighter V, and King of Fighters 14, for PS4.
SNK Heroines, Freedom Planet and Mario Odyssey on Switch.

Me: "Well I didn't have too many problems on my first playthrough of Dark Souls Remastered, so I should breeze through new game plus in no time."

Ornstein and Smough: "Hello"

I've not played DQXI yet but I'm chuffed that it's getting mad love.

@R1spam How are you enjoying Red Dead Redemption? It's your first time playing it isn't it?

For me it'll be a weekend of WoW, Dragon Quest XI, trying some gambit on Destiny 2 and possibly some Shadow of the Tomb Raider, if I can force myself to play it.

I see some of the NL articles from last week are rubbing off here since we have staff members making false statements and then provoking the commentors to argue with them

I'll be playing some DQ11 and Spiderman, and begrudgingly going through the forsaken DLC on my other two guradians so my friends will shut the hell up!

@ApostateMage I'm loving it!! Still early doors, only done missions for the sheriff and "Ms Mcfarlane" at the moment. Really like the gritty atmosphere and there seems to be more impact in the gunplay than GTAv. I have missed quite a few of the big games from last generation (though ive played some remasters on ps4). I'm glad I'm playing this before 2 comes out. Hope your having a good weekend 😀 p.s. Skyrim is in that missed bracket for me, how are you liking the remaster? I have to say I'm tempted.

I always love a Fleetwood Mac reference! @get2sammyb
I'll be playing Spider-Man, I'm 3 trophies away from platinum.

Final Fantasy 13 is the best Final Fantasy. Lighting, Snow, Vanille and Sazh are the greatest.

Been splitting my time between Spider-Man and Monster Hunter World. Also need to try out the Gambit mode on Destiny 2 whilst it's on its second free trial, decide if it's worth spending £30+ on the Forsaken expansion...

@RogerRoger this gif pushed me over the edge to get this game (plus, it was on sale for $45 on PC). Jungles + Tomb Raider...reviews may be mixed, but it looks AWESOME

Dishonored 2! Second playthrough. I'm taking my time to explore and read every little note , Trying to find every single rune.
This game is a gem!

@spakai Same. I'm just barely past the Shocker fight in the bank.

Mostly Iron Banner in D2 and will try to squeeze in some Diablo 3 Necromancer, maybe an hour or so on Warframe. The grind is real!

Spider-Man for PS4, Forza 7 for PC, and Donkey Kong County Tropical Freeze for Switch. Enjoying them immensely!

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider collectibles and tomb raiding time . Oh i am also trying to platinum The Playroom VR

@Nightcrawler71 How is the new F1 game to you? I'm thinking of buying it for the next weekend. I haven't actually finished my Career in F1 2017 yet, but have a play-a-new F1 game itch.

Got on sale Jak and Dexter, collection, so Jak and Dexter, then go back to Yakuza Zero, until RDR2 arrives. Not sure if I'll play Jak and Dexter II and III before then. Also Leveling up Marvel's Spider-Man, currently Level 50+, 208 Health. Might stop at 210 before the DLC, which I've yet to decide to purchase.

I can't stop playing No Man's Sky since the Next update so whenever I get any time at the weekend, I'll dive back in. It's an incredibly relaxing experience but always compulsive. In between NMS I've been enjoying Detention - a highly atmospheric horror adventure.

@Kidfried I purchased the remaster long ago and still yet to dive back into it after playing it on PS3. Such an awesome game. Definitely need to replay.

@R1spam Good to hear. I loved working on the ranch with Bonnie McFarlane, John Marston is such a likable rogue gent.

I'd definitely recommend Skyrim to anybody who hasn't played it. It's one of those games where once you start playing you'll get absorbed into it for the next hundred plus hours and even forgive the poor character models, animation and voice acting. The PS4 remaster feels like it's running at 120fps compared to the PS3 version.

@R1spam Read Dead is easily my favourite R* game. The characters, the story, the visuals, the atmosphere, … not to mention the gameplay, it's so unique and different from anything else, even today.

Did you get the expansion as well, Undead Nightmare? I thought it was fun, but would have preferred a more typical extension to the core storyline.

@Bonbonetti not yet, might have a go at the dlc when I finish the game but I might give it a miss as I understand it's not story linked per se. I think I might get sucked into 2 before that happens though.
@ApostateMage it's definitely on my list, sad really but I love a bit of high fantasy! Played witcher 3 to death (maybe I just like riding about on a horse being a gun/sword for hire?!) and that was my first proper rpg since ff7!! I just need more time to game, I struggle to keep up with the older stuff never mind some of the amazing games coming out 🤔🤔

Where's the Death Stranding trailer article here, so we can talk how Troy Baker inevitably came along as a character

Finished up heavy rain (WOW), rise of the tomb raider and playing tales of the borderlands.

Farpoint

@Bonbonetti There’s not a massive difference between last years game and the new one tbh. There’s one new track (France), press/media interviews, cars now feature the new “halo” safety device and some other minor improvements. Car handling is excellent. F1 2018 really just refines everything that was so good in last years game. Personally I’m really enjoying it and it’s easily the best F1 game yet by Codemasters since they’ve had the license.

MHW i know i sound like a broken record. 😁
