Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 242

Hopefully I'll get some time to swing around in NY as Spiderman. I really want to earn that Platinum trophy - it would be my first Platinum trophy.

And then some Splatoon 2 and some Crayola Scoot as well.

Starting up Detroit: Become Human. I also might play a little more Oxenfree which I started yesterday. I’m taking a break from open-world action adventures for the moment (Sorry Spider-Man. I’ll get to you eventually)

I amost bought another PS3 to played Dead Space again yesterday

Been back on Bloodborne doing the chalices, hate grinding for materials 😵, also back at Shadow Of The Tomb Raider getting better but I think Uncharted Lost Legacy has kinda ruined it for me

just working on the last few trophies for Spider-Man (stupid pigeons) and then probably back to FFXV Pocket Edition HD

@get2sammyb as do I it was the best new IP of the last generation for me by a long way

@FullbringIchigo I found the pigeons to be easy to catch just need to get off to a quick start

MonsterHunter & watching Daredevil S3.

Continue playing Dragon Quest 11.

The Persistance and ASTRO BOT!❤️

@RedMan33 it's not the difficulty it just it's SO tedious, kind of like the feathers in Assassin's Creed 2

I'm trying to finish Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey before RDR. It's easier said than done.

@FullbringIchigo at least there's only 12 😂

Soul Calibur 6 for me. The last one didn’t grab me but this one is very fun. I’ll also put an effort on clearing Uncharted TLL, I need space for RDR2 thursday night.

DQXI, Boss after the tournament is a pain in the butt. might need to grind and assess my tactics!

Hope to finish up beast quest which is a silly little game but enjoying it! And then give star link I shot!

Almost finish DQXI just getting ready for the final battle and I'm also playing resogun and unravel 2

Still slowly working my way through AC Odyssey. I'm also considering starting another playthrough of The Evil Within 2 for those Halloween feels. I love that game. So underrated but so brilliant.

YoRHa. For the Glory of Mankind.

I'm hoping I can finish up Red Dead Redemption before the sequel arrives! It's my first time playing the game, and though I had a rocky start with it, it's really grown on me! I just crossed into Mexico and did the train defense mission. I also pre-ordered the digital special edition of RDR2 so I'd have the Winchester 1897 pump shotgun as soon as the game begins.

I'm also playing Mark of the Ninja on Switch. I love that game! We need more stealth games on that platform.

And then there's Luigi's Mansion on 3DS. I need to finish up the hidden mansion which I've just started.

Also I need to finish Mega Man 11 at some point, but it probably won't be this weekend.

@get2sammyb I skipped a heartbeat seeing a headline with a picture of dead space... one can hope

This weekend I'll be playing mainly Dragon Quest XI (57 hours so far and I hope at least another dozen or so to go!).
Astrobot the best game on VR will be getting a look in too.
Having FINALLY completed Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Switch after 135 hours I've decided I'm so NOT bored of it yet and started Torna The Golden Country which I'm enjoying immensely.
I'll also be binge watching the last half of The Haunting Of Hill House on Netflix which is just so freaking good!

Still ploughing through AC Odyssey, which is proving to be a more than adequate distraction from the now agonising wait for RDR2. Still really enjoying Odyssey, but the (imo) deliberately added grind would really be getting on my nerves by now if I wasn't such an "easily distracted side quester" type of gamer, as it is noticeable how slowly you level up. Still don't think I'll be done with it by the 26th though, as I'm after the platinum, so will likely have to return to it in November, along with DQXI.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Spider-Man. Need to complete these, or at least get very close, before RDR 2.

@LN78 @RogerRoger Another one here who is probably waiting to play RDR2. I was super hyped at first for it, but that has worn off a little, so I plan to play a few months down the road. I’m sure it will be grand but I’d rather work on the backlog.

still playing fist of the north star lost paradise, i'm at chapter 10.

Now that my PC is working again, I'm eager to play lots of GTA 5 on it. And also continuing to making slow but gradual progress with Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked.

@Rogueleader76 Get Farcry 3 and Primal if you want a easy Platinum fun games too. 😁

@tameshiyaku Remaster of Dead Space 3.😋

@Flaming_Kaiser I do have primal, I haven't played much.

I've been playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown on PC during the week, with a smattering of Valkyria Chronicles 4 on Switch here and there.

Skyrim on Switch as it finally has it hooks in me and I hope some retro game time on either GameCube or SNES in my newly redone office/geek space.

@get2sammyb In VR!

Since I've finished Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Ball Fusions, and my latest playthrough of Undertale, I'm moving on to quick backlog related stuff. More specifically, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles

@LN78 Oh, no - it’s got nothing to do with all the Rockstar work hour stuff. I think my waning excitement is due to more of a combination of the busy release schedule of multiple games, the fact this game is sounding to be really large and time consuming, and the idea that if this game is anything close to GTA V, it’ll be high in popularity for a loooong time so I don’t feel as rushed to jump in early. I’ve got plenty of time. Other titles, on the other hand, won’t be in the public consciousness forever (ie Detroit which I started today) so I feel like playing some of those first. I know, that’s a strange motivation; I realize it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I sometimes get turned off if a game gets overhyped also. The non-conformist in me I suppose. Also, I am concerned that I may not like it as much if it’s about being an outlaw and wreaking havoc in the Wild West. I’m hoping that the game is more a story of redemption like Marston’s was (surely it will be, given its title, but still I’m not “feelin’ it” from Arthur Morgan just yet). I don’t usually like playing as the bad guy. The reviews will help me know how urgently to play it, I think. If it gets 10’s across the board, I might succumb and jump in with all the other sheep. Otherwise, I’ll be a stray sheep wandering in after about 6 months.

Bit of rocket league not much time this weekend busy working

Still playing spider-man, I need to plat this asap.

Completely finished Spiderman, well until the DLC hits so now I'm on God of War, which is competing with the former for my GOTY so far and trying to finish of Persona 5 before next weekend

Really need to put some time into Spider Man and Forza Horizon 4. But I’m also thinking about picking up Blops4.

Tekken 7, Street Fighter V, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and maybe Monster Hunter World for PS4.

Spider-man

Dragon Quest XI. Things are really starting to happen.

Continuing through AC odyssey with a little bit of until dawn mixed in

I’ve been playing through the last of us, yet again whilst I’m ever hopeful of a release date for part 2!

Working my way through the beauty that is Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. 'Tis one stunning game.

Batman, Batman and some more Batman (the Arkham series) on the PS4. I just wanted to replay some of my favourite games.

I refuse to rush through Okami HD - this is a game to be savoured. Whether I'll be saying the same thing this time next week, well..

I have returned to Horizon zero Dawn, one of PS4:s finest!

Wipeout Omega Collection and finishing Undertale on Switch. Not going to start another game before RDR2

So I decided to reinstall farcry primal, has anyone else noticed that the dlc for some ubisoft games are all mixed up, when I select download its including dlc from farcry 4. When I do the same with farcry 4 it has AC origins dlc with it, weird.

Starlink battle for atlas, R6: siege, home sweet home, and soul calibur 6, spiderman, still need to play dragon quest XI and finish valkyria chronicles 4. It's too MANY games to keep up. It an embarrassment of riches...

monster hunter playa.starring big ben. ju ju smith.conner.and brown.monster hunter world dog.word up son

Its all about soulcaliburVI !!! So glad the series has returned. Its always been my fav 3d fighter. Its clear how much work theyve put into this. Hope it sticks around for a long time.

@get2sammyb itd be cool if they rebooted it where it starts off in space on a ship like always but soon crash lands in the country side. Call me crazy but i think those abominations would be scary as hell while lost in the dark woods with only the dynamic moon light rays providing light

Dragon Quest XI, I will probably not finish before RDR 2.

@Neolit So did you cancel your RDR2 preorder? Or decide to rather finally delete Knack off your HD instead? 😜

@ellsworth004 Even Ubisoft can’t distinguish between their own games. 😂

@Th3solution that was pretty good, lol

@get2sammyb Yep, got it and it is good. Still love to see DSVR still.
Or Alien Isolation VR.

I've gone back to Horizon to complete the Ultra Hard play-through I started a while back. Then I'll finally start Frozen Wilds, which I've has since launch and not touched yet.

Playing Bounce N Hoops then NBA Action.

Just finished red dead, what a game!! My hype for next Friday is unreal!!!

@Neolit it is indeed a pretty fun game, sure it's repetitive but if you enjoy the gameplay loop then you can have some fun! I am still a bit early on the game (I leave some games behind when I get new ones until I feel like I should continue) but I enjoyed it so much I ended up getting the dlc on a sale I would still give it a 7/10 or so though.

Also, guys, I got my plat trophy for Spider-Man just in time for the DLC and before RDR2. Damn crimes took me 1h30 to finish!
I played some fortnite yesterday.
And I mostly played AC Odyssey...I try to get through the story before Red Dead comes but I can't ignore the sidequests for some reason and I end up wandering around and not even need to grind since I level up pretty fast from sidequests. Also I love the fact that they have mithology missions, they are great

I am buying Red Dead Redemption 2 tomorrow digitally so it can start downloading for thursday night! Too bad I couldn't take friday off work

@AFCC Are the sidequests fun or are they the standard fetchquests?

@Flaming_Kaiser they actually have a good amount of funny stories (some that tie into the main quest) but they don't actually stray much from 'go there kill this' but the stories make them fun enough, at least for me! It's like Witcher 3 honestly...

@Neolit true that! Went for the breasts stayed for the info lol
