Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 271

Wow...this is late today, and I’m the first one! 🙂 Anyway, I’m playing Days Gone, which I only bought last weekend and am enjoying it so far. Also playing Division 2 (endgame), some FIFA 19, F1 2018, and Tesla vs Lovecraft. Happy weekend people!

Copy-pasted from the Nintendo Life equivilant:

Been feeling kind of "blah" lately and haven't felt the want to play much. If anything, I did finally get a chance to grab Joker on Smash, so I can play that for a bit and explore the new content, also Final Fantasy XIV and Crystalis, the latter of which I really want to complete but haven't been in the best of mindsets to play.

Was getting worried. I am going to try and finish Life Is Strange: Before the storm and maybe start Wulverblade on Switch. May also try and test my patience with more Sekiro

What’s going on guys, I’m continuing my journey through Bloodborne. 180 hours in and it just keeps getting better and more fascinating, especially when you start crawling around in the Chalice Dungeons.

I might play a bit of TLoU multiplayer on PS3 as well if time allows.
Happy gaming.

Decided to go back to the handsome collection in preparation for BL3...not to mention the dreaded summer drought is almost upon us, think it's time to start taking advantage of any store deals

Mostly Days Gone for me, still loving it. Had a nice combo of sniper taking me off bike, followed by a bear as I finish off his gang, followed by a horde with a few wolves thrown in for fun. Only just survived.

Also finally reached Division 2 endgame, time to get that gear score up.

Trying to plat Dishonored 2 but my auto-eject is back with a vengeance probably because of all the digital games I've been playing. I wouldn't be surprised if the next-gen disc drives are even worse to force us all to go digital. Anyway so I decided to start NG+ on HZD, still moseying and tarrying in RDR2, plus one two missions in AC Odyssey, and then a few fights in SFV.

Evenin' all. I've just finished Horizon's Frozen Wilds add-on and it was great. From murderous lightning quick killer robot bears that spit ice and fire to listening to Last Girls On Earth by a band called Concrete Beach Party. Quality stuff.

Going to play a bit more Hitman 2 and Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Also started on the new DLC for the PC version of A Hat in Time, and also started playing Hatsune Miku Project Diva X.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Brilliant little remaster, although it'll take time to get used to the changes to the license boards.

Ni no Kuni 2. It was £10 and for that price you can’t say no, so I am looking forward to that.

Found myself back on Destiny 2 (again) and quite enjoying

Playing some of my backlog, at the moment trying to plat Infamous second son and some Aragami as well

what remains of Edith Fitch and darkest dungeon ancestral edition.word up son

Having a go at my backlog/pile of shame. Loads to go at but I've started with Unravel, finished up the all the story and now on the mop up for the platinum, probably going to move onto Fé next.

I just finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and I thought it was a great game. It had some technical issues, but I think it’s a very underrated game. So now, I might dabble in MK11 and also reply Nier Automata.

Some F1 2018 on the PS4, but getting increasingly annoyed with my team's mood swings, will probably switch team for the next season ... "just tell me what you want me to say so you won't get depressed you big babies, I don't really care what I say in the interviews, holy moly ...". Then lots and lots of old-school goodness on my PC with Hegemony 3, Titan Quest, Pillars of Eternity, Age of Wonders 3,Elex and whatever similar stuff I can find the time for.

Days gone which I'm loving apart from Decons speech sometimes his shouting and have to turn sound down and then when his saying something important you can't hear him!

Okami and assassin's creed Odyssey

Finally finished the excellent Horizon Zero Dawn this week and got the platinum so taking a break from ot before playing the dlc. In the meantime I'm getting round to finally finishing God of War, just freed the last of the Dragons for reference and now hunting some Valkyries before polishing off the story. Overall a phenomenal game and probably even the very best of what has been a fantastic generation so far. After that I'll just have Persona 5 and RDR2 waiting for me to finish them before I get stuck into Days Gone fully.

Started Nier: Automata. Pretty cool so far, and I believe I've been properly conditioned to give the story time to develop and open, though I think I see where it's going. Hope I'm wrong and it surprises me.

Day’s Gone sounding better by the day... ‘s gone. I will play that game for the right price.

This weekend I play Assassins Creed Odyssey on PS4 and Cuphead on Switch.

I was wondering where this article was. Anyways, Ace Attorney Trilogy, Devil May Cry 4, Dead or Alive 6, Street Fighter V, and Rise of the Tomb Raider all on PS4. Smash Bros and Capcom Beat em Bundle on Switch. I don’t think I’ll have time to make for all those games though.

Days Gone of course 👌🏽

Mass effect 3, just at the party for the citadel dlc and then it's off to catch up with the illusive man. The whole trilogy has been so good, I'm going to be gutted when its finished!!! Playing gorogoa on my phone this week too, awesome puzzler. Thanks for the tip pushsquare (Graham)!!

Days Gone all the way at the moment...and the Everybody’s Golf VR demo at some point for me!!

On the ps4 I'm going to continue my adventure with the brilliant Final Fantasy XII :The Zodiac Age.
On the Switch I've finally got round to starting Octopath Traveller which I've had since launch...and it's a beauty!

Floating between to see what grabs my attention long enough, I’m dabbling in a platinum replay of Witcher 3, Mad Max from PS plus, Hitman 1 and at some point more ESO. Tried out Mafia 3 and Deus Ex: MD but neither are for me I’m afraid

I'm putting Final Fantasy XII on the backburner to go back to Final Fantasy VII. I never finished it on the PS1 years ago, so I'll start a new file on the PS4 version of the game.

That and maybe a little bit of Smash or Hat in Time DLC.

Days Gone, Days Gone, and more Days Gone... can't get enough of it, and absolutely loving it!

Surprised that I'm the first person to say Monster Hunter World
I'm struggling to beat AT Nergigante but it feels good playing this game again.

Was originally going to start days gone but lately been addicted to My Time at Portia. It's not quite as good as Stardew Valley but definitely has its hooks in me.

I've been really addicted to persona 5 and I've recently gotten devil may cry 1-4

Just got started on wolfenstein 2 last week so going to push through with that. It's already going to be one of my favourite games I've played this year.

Witcher 3, this is my second attempt at it, it may actually be my favorite game on ps4, i never finished it my first go at it but i plan to this time.

I think okami has aged just fine, thats another one i need to finish, alot longer of a game than i expected.

Finished Edith Finch today in one sitting. It's so very wonderful. Seriously impressed. A fillet steak of a game.

Following it up with the gaming equivalent of popcorn: Mad Max. Because I'm tired and don't want to think much.

Ni No Kuni 2 The levelling up I’ve done as a result of the DLC has allowed me to do more of the endgame content as well.
Just bought Persona 4 Golden for on Vita. Player original back on PS2 but I forgotten most of it and the recent discussion of the enhancements make it sound worth revisiting. It’s only cost 9 pounds from the PS store but I had to delete six other games to make space for it.

@Ichiyama Oh, I think it will surprise you. You just have to stick with it through to the real ending.

As for me, I’ve been in a gaming funk lately.
But I find it fascinating how many people are playing Days Gone though. Really surprised. I think they did well to delay the release to now during this quiet release period. It would have been buried earlier when it was originally going to come out. I’ve still no interest in it until I get a zombie itch or it gets a heavy discount. But I’m glad for Bend.
Oh yeah, what am I playing? Not much other than a little grinding to get the Persona 3 Dancing platinum. After that, I’m not sure. Nothing is grabbing me.

@playstation1995 Are you enjoy Edith Finch? It looks intriguing but I haven't booted it up yet

Taking a break from open world stuff for the moment. Alternating time between MK 11 and World War Z.

The quite good Super Lumi Live and a whole pot of coffee is holding me over 'til the new Meatboy, also more Kuni 2 progress.

Not a lot really. I'm having one of those weekends where I'm inbetween games. Also working stupid hours. I'm hoping to try out Overcooked with the family on Sunday night.

@RadoGoji is Crystalis in the Nintendo store?!?! I loved that game on NES, it’s be a great throwback to jump into it again.

@ThePathsofPain Unfortunately, no. I'm playing the NES version of it.

I'm trying to finish RDR2's story this weekend so I can finally start Days Gone... Problem is, there's finally a new legal Blood remaster (Blood: Fresh Supply) out on Steam and I think I'll have to play that first

AT Nergi. Already defeated it seven times but he's still tuff as nutts!

@WanderingBullet yeah, I haven't beat him yet myself. 0 for 6 I believe

@Jimmy_G_Buckets I think I've failed just as many times as I've defeated it.

Mixing my time up between Division 2 endgame and Far Cry 5.

It's a rainy day so I'll spend this Sunday with Yakuza 6 and some Soma.

Playing days gone I love it but the story at times does confuse me!

@RadoGoji that would have been awesome, but oh well. My hat goes off to you, you have great taste in games. I know very few people who have ever even heard of it.

@zeppray

Really? It's good but quite simplistic.

Played a ton of Paladins this weekend. Weren't exactly in my plans but that's what I ended up doing. Feels good!

I've brought the Vita out of retirement and fired up FFX. I really like this game but my God, Tidus is such a bell.

@BrotherFilmriss I'm super-tempted to buy the Blood remaster.
Nightdive does such a good job with their remasters, have you tried their other ones ?

@suikoden yeah that might be a better Way to describe it!

@ApostateMage

Has to be one of my least favourite gaming characters , what a whining little mammas boy, no wonder his father left, if he w as my kid I would too!

Days Gone baby, just got a platinum too!

@Sauce01 DMC 3 is still my favorite. 😁

@Bonbonetti
Only the "unofficial" ones by Kaiser, like Powerslave Ex and Doom 64 Ex. All great conversions. Anyway Blood: Fresh Supply is a great port and worth it's price although I already own it on GOG and physical CD xD
