Merry Christmas, everyone! Have you got all your shopping yet? This author, er, hasn’t so… Yeah, this week’s WAYP is being put together in haste shall we say? That’s okay, though, because it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Let’s get on with it.

This week I’ve found myself plowing through the World of Light in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, trying to understand the crazy spirit system all the way. On the side, I’ve been dominating the battlefield and lobbing grenades with my platoon in Valkyria Chronicles 4!

This weekend I'll be taking a break from the PlayStation to play some Ashen and to beat up on my family and friends in Smash Bros. Ultimate over the holiday weekend
Graham Banas, Reviewer
Before some holiday travels, I just have to squeeze in some more Beat Saber, and I'll probably have time for some Battlefield V too. And then nothin' till 2019!

I'm having my own little gaming Spidey party during spare moments between now and Christmas. I'll start with the Mega Drive's 1991 Spider-Man game, and then I'll read Push Square's Spider-Man 2 - Does It Still Hold Up Today? feature. Finally, I'll read the prequel book Hostile Takeover, and go sightseeing on PS4 around New York in Marvel's Spider-Man.

This week I’ve been trudging through a series of RNG Trophies in an attempt to get the Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory Platinum under my belt. Safe to say it’s well overdue after stacking over 130 hours of play time.

Spider-Man, i waited until all the DLC was out before getting it so i'm working through those right now
I bought the season pass for Shadow of the Tomb Raider so I’m back to playing that. Throw in some Soul Calibur 6, and Street Fighter V. Smash on the Switch. I’ll have my hands on Red Dead 2 and Spider Man soon.
I am probably buying Uncharted 1-4 with the 2 games for 30 euros offer. I've played the first one on ps3 but I'll play it again with the remastered version. For the others it will be the first time. That's a lot of Nathan Drake. Merry Christmas, everyone!
The utterly charming and brilliant Dragon Quest XI. I've just got Sylvando's ship, the Salty Stallion (eh up sailor), and the story is coming on at a nice pace. I love the characters so far, Veronica and Sylvando being my faves. Strangely enough, Veronica reminds me of Philippa Eilhart from The Witcher games. I think it's that sassy voice and the double plats hairdo.
Merry Christmas to everybody at the Push Square towers and to each and every user of this wonderful(ish) community.
Have a good one. 🎄🍻
I'm going to finish up the Spider-Man dlc then celebrate the conclusion by playing more Spider-Man.
Keep playing Smash Ultimate's World of Light. I think I'm getting close to the 100% ending.
Also, since 2B was released a few days ago, I might give Soul Calibur 6 a go.
I got Star Ocean The Last Hope (a day before it went on sale..urgh), played 4 hours last night and.. I don't actually hate it! Not bad for a game I earlier this week described to a friend as "sh*t Final Fantasy in space".
Builders are (I hope to God) finishing the kitchen today so I'm sat on the sofa like a plum while they run around making a mess. I can't play quirky JRPGs in front of people like this, society just hasn't reached that point yet, so I've got Top Gear on in the background. Lads lads lads!!! Cup o' tea me old mucka!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I've had the last Guardian for ages, but never even started it until yesterday, so I think I'll dedicate my weekend to playing that! I'm enjoying it, but Trico is unbelievably frustrating at the moment, and will definitely impact on my experience unless it gets slightly better. There's nothing more annoying than knowing the exact solution to a puzzle, but not being able to do it for 5 minutes because the AI won't listen to you
@BranJ0 I only had one frustrating moment in TLG with Trico. I don't know if I was lucky or what.
@BranJ0 Be nice with Trico and he will be nice to you! He's some kind of a puppy and at first he is justifiably doubtful about you, but soon he'll be more cooperative.
Playing Dragon Quest XI, few hours in with the Stronger Enemies perk active. Looks pretty fun!
@kyleforrester87 Reminds me of Alan Partridge where he had those Yorkshire builders in.
@ApostateMage
"I panicked!"
Mostly Final Fantasy XIV and Earth Defense Force 5, and something I can beat quick (thinking Far Cry Blood Dragon) so I can round out my game clear count for the year at 50.
Some design work, then RDR2 tonight.
Continuing a proud mode run of KH: Dream Drop Distance.
Thank God I'm off now until Thursday.Work has been so exhausting that any gaming time I managed to grab ended up being snoozy time..
So now I can finally get some proper gaming done my time will be spent playing..
Dragon Quest XI
Detroit Become Human
Spyro Trilogy
Ys VIII (Switch)
Shantae Half Genie Hero (My first game in the series and love it!)
Merry Christmas everyone!
God of War - facken beautiful! And more of RDR2 till I'm done, now Chapter 6, could've rushed through it but im doing almost all Stranger missions, have at least 4 satchels crafted, finding legendary fish and animals, taking my sweet time.
I'm playing a bit of ESO while the New Life event is on. Also trying to finish the boring Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Only a few missions to go so I'll continue on if only to be able to scratch it off my list. After that I have no idea.
Anyway, Happy Holidays to everyone at Push Square, both the site's staff and its visitors. Have a good one.
Judge Eyes - drone racing is an awesome thing
Titanfall 2 on PS4 (on the chance I finish it over the weekend, I'll start up Dragon Quest XI).
Over on Switch I'll be continuing to work through Smash Ultimate.
I'm very close to the end of Tomb Raider Chronicles and getting the platinum for Heavy Rain, so I'd like to finish them off before I go away over Christmas. If there's time after that then I'll pick up my 3DS and get started on The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.
Just bought a Sega Saturn so I'm playing the likes of Die Hard Trilogy, Sonic R and Virtua Fighter 2. The console did make me realise how old I am though when I had to adjust the internal clock by 24 years!
Smash Ultimate, although that hardly feels worth mentioning, as that'll be a game I play on weekends well into the future.
Otherwise, I'm going to try out whatever this weekend challenge thing is in Tetris Effect and hopefully make more progress in Case 5 of Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice.
@carlos82 I love Die Hard trilogy, the second in particular. I'd love to be playing that right now with a light gun.
@kyleforrester87 I've got the light gun but need a crt, my last one was far too big and had to go and at the moment it's on an early HD TV so it wouldn't work. First task after Christmas is getting another, in the meantime I've got car bombs to diffuse by erm blowing them up 😁
@kyleforrester87 @andreoni79 Yeah, I definitely haven't been as patient as I should have so far, so that almost certainly contributes to my frustration! I'm gonna go into it today with a different mindset and hopefully should make some progress!
Spider-Man DLC 👌🏾
Having put Red Dead on hold until after Christmas due to time constraints, I'm dipping back into Okami. The section I'm at is all wintry and cold, it feels like I made the right decision. Merry Christmas!
Started a KH1 Proud mode playthrough. Slow start aside, I'll never get tired of it.
Not a lot of time in between Christmas shopping and visiting but I want to get some BF V, Smite, Blackout and maybe Spyro in. Itll be Football manager touch on iPad md maybe some vita and 3ds games over Xmas eve and Day while I move back to my parents house. When I move back for Stephens day (Boxing Day to you Brits) I’ve AC: Odyssey, Far Cry 5, Spyro and Crash bandicoot trilogies and Red Dead to play through so I’ll be very busy along with all the movies and drinking! Merry Christmas to all the staff for a great year and to all the PushSquare heads (in particular @TheMcnoisy @KratosMD @AlexStinton @Simon_Fitzgerald @Kyroki, @LiamCroft and @TripleGK) have a great Xmas everyone
Mostly Gran Turismo Sport and Tropico 5 on PS4.
Dynasty Warriors Next on Vita.
@RogerRoger can't be any worse than playing Kingdom Hearts 2 and having to do "The Little Mermaid" bit while people are in the house
x com enemy unknown.and Dragon age origins.word life.word to your mother.word up son
@KratosMD FFV is SO underrated, it deserves more love than it gets
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L here we go Steelers here we go.getting ready for the Pittsburgh Steelers.best NFL franchises ever.lets go Steelers.word up son
At my relatives home for the holidays... So playing Starlink on my Switch on my way there. And Madden NFL with my cousins once there 🙂
I had to grab the Spiderman DLC so I could use the Raimi suit. The 3rd part came out right on queue as well!!
@Hego You too buddy!
true .samuels play great last week.steelers win tomorrow they going to the playoffs.james Washington did good also last week.pittsburgh is number one in sack.so they will blitz.and pressure drew sneeze😱😂👍.haha.word up son
@KratosMD i think the main reason people dismiss it is because it wasn't until the PS1 that we actually got a release outside of Japan and by that point people had played FF1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and FFX so it was already outdated by the time it came along
not to mention it was at the end of the PS1 life cycle too
Final fantasy 15 for some strange reason.
It's a dlc and indie weekend for me - gonna play the SotTR Pillar dlc tomb, and the Spidey season pass dlc now that it in the sale, then I need to push through with a ton of indie titles which I've accrued in various sales and plus freebies throughout the year.
@ellsworth004 strangely enough I've had the FFXV chocobo theme stuck in my head on a loop this past week and I finished that game way back in January, so no idea why! 😄
I’m playing Wipeout Omega Collection; Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage and Mortal Kombat XL.
Still thinking about if I will buy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on PSN sale. The game looks great, but I’m not in the mood to play another AC so soon.
I really want to start the dlcs of Spider-Man.
With both the Playstation's January sale and Steam's Winter sale I got some new stuff to play: the Italy expansion for Euro Truck 2, Oregon and New Mexico for American Truck, Horizons for Elite Dangerous, and Jurassic World Evolution for the PS4.
I just got over the stomach flu, but today I'm gonna probably play some PUBG and hopefully Yakuza Kiwami 2. I'm also STILL playing AC: Odyssey, which by this point, I actually think this game is a masterpiece. It's not perfect, but it's up there with the greats in my opinion.
Today I'm starting Hollow Knight on PS4 I swear! It's only been over a month since I bought it 🙄
I'm all in on RDR2. I'll save the Spider-man DLC for later. I'll probably jump back into GoW once I'm done with RDR. Then I'll decide where to go from there
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Still watching my let's Play.
What in the World? (Windows Phone) - Almost done...
Rayman Origins (3DS) - Just entered the desert area and loving it
@Hego you too bro.
I'm extemely excited for Christmas. I placed Soul Calibur 6, Astrobot and Moss on order with Santa. So in the meantime I'm playing a GOTY contender with amazing acting, sublime handling and a cool world map.
Roundabout.
@carlos82 Yes, yes and yes. Gaming heaven
Got back into The Binding of Isaac after a 2-year break from it. Trying to inch my way towards beating all hard completion marks for all characters. It's a real grind, but I'm determined to 100% this game.
@Gremio108 it really is, can't wait until after Christmas to get the likes of Saturn Bomberman and Panzer Dragoon Zwei
chilled sypro for me with a touch of OW comp if peeps are on
Battlefield V with my friends & nephew, Just Cause 4, & Life Is Strange 2: episode 1, which I've been keen to try for a while.
I've dipped back into The Archers as scripted by John Wyndham - Everybody's gone to the Rapture. It's getting creepier by the hour...
Merry Christmas to you all! See you in 2019 which surely has to be better than the shower of poo that was 2018!
Had the urge to kill stuff with pointy things so I dug out my copy of DmC Definitive Edition. Haters gonna hate but I love all things DMC, including this game, so much so I'm gonna plat it again on my alt account!
@3Above well if u like good games then u are in for a treat!
I know this sounds weird but I’am giving up farming simulator for pure Farming. I think it is a better game. That’s what I’m playing this weekend and still working on sub Nautica!
@stevenfins
I am so jealous buddy, I would love to experience those games again for the first time. You really are in for a treat fella!
I just got the Platinum trophy in Hellblade and Spyro 1 and I am about to jump back into Monster Hunter, I have seen on or two videos on the subject of January releases getting overlooked come GotY time and the Monster Hunter gameplay made me fancy revisiting the game.
@Lovespuds Thanks mate. Merry Christmas!
Persona 5. ..............And Muv Luv on the go.
