Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 274

I just recently got the Platinum in Days Gone so I'm gonna cool off on it and finish the hordes as I please . Now just started getting into DC Universe Online 👌🏽

If I get the free time, I want to start the final case of Phoenix Wright - Trials and Tribulations.

Microsoft Flight (Games For Windows) - Still watching my Let's play.

Cut the Rope Experiments (Android) - Such a great time waster.

Jetpack Joyride (Windows Store) - I wish this supported the Xbox 360 PC controller, but I'll get used to the space bar instead.

Been back playing the Alcatraz blackout map on call of duty again since its been put back on. And when I'm playing solo I'll be on wolfenstein 2. Not going to lie as the sun warms up I spend most the summer drinking at parties pubs and bbqs. June July and August I get very little gaming time

divinity original sin enhanced edition. and darkest dungeon ancestral edition.2 of the best rpgs ever made.word life.word is bond.word to your mother.word ☝ up son

Warhammer Chaosbane for me. I stumped up a little extra for the 4 days early access and I'm having a whale of a time. Chose to play Bragi Axebiter first (Dwarf Slayer) and he's so much fun. The game is a little rough around the edges in some places but hey, wasn't Diablo 3 at first?

Got up early this morning and finally beat the final stage in Super Meatboy, just light world of course but that's quite the challenge as it is. Continuing to play through Tales of Beseria and maybe some Rocket League. Off to see Godzilla king of the monsters later and reading Dune.

Keep playing Final Fantasy 7.

Been having a blast with Blood and Truth, just escaped from a demolished tower block and can't wait to see what else lies in store and who knew that knowing when the Titanic sank would net me a trophy 😁. Awesome game and loving every minute.

Seeing as I'm already in VR I'll also be playing some Statik, Polybius and Tetris Effect too and maybe Symphony of the Night on a giant screen

I sold my soul to the devil and am playing Weekend League on Fifa 19, so that is basically all I’m playing.

I'll be playing some more Hitman 2, Sims 4, and Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Also almost on the final floor with Etrian Odyssey 2, I'd like to reach the end of the labyrinth but probably won't bother beating the super tough post-game enemies.

After beating it a million times and having 1012G achievements (platinum equivalent) on 360, I'm not surprised though that L.A. Noire is a classic game and still a joy to play on PS4. Roy Earle still remains the most annoying character in the game by far.

Still having fun in the never ending AC Odyssey which may be overlooked by some or marked down by critics because Ubisoft release far too many games with a similar template. But it doesn't take away from the fact that it's one of the best open worlds this gen. It's so overwhelming sometimes I can understand how one's gonna have a meltdown and just stop playing, it needs patience that game.

I got into the Code Vein beta but turned it off once I felt how stiff and unpolished it is. So I'll be playing Trover Saves the Universe on PSVR.

I'm off to see the Garif in Jahara whilst hunting the Gil Snapper on the way in the awesome FFXII. I'll also be riding with The Posse-Cats in Red Dead Online.

C'mon The Reds tonight! ✊

Just finished persona 4 golden on PlayStation Vita. So will be doing a bit of dangerous driving and soul calibre 6 whilst I decide which RPG is next.

There was a time when I would only play one game at a time and not move to the next until I had finished and done all I was going to with the first. Still how I prefer to game but currently I'm playing Days Gone (I think I'm getting close to end), Titanfall 2, Thronebreaker, Until Dawn (finished but doing trophy mop up) and The Division 2.

Also I'm in the alpha test of Ghost Recon Breakpoint so making use of that while available.

At least I feel like my backlog is actually starting to decrease.

Almost done with the Ace Attorney Trilogy and all probably throw in some Dead or Alive 6 and Fist of the North Star for PS4. Smash Bros on Switch.

@TheArt Roy is just as annoying as Micah same with Dr. Fontaine funny they are the same person.

Witcher 3, got all the qwent cards in the base game! Finishing up side quests and contracts before leaving skellige. Gonna watch nba finals for sure, game 1 was a great watch.

So is it better to beat the base game before starting expansions?

Now I have both A Plague Tale and Ghost Giants Platinum under my belt all my concentration is going into the utterly amazing Assassins Creed Odyssey.Only played 5 hours so far but enough to know I'm going to enjoy it even more than Origins which I loved.But seriously i thought that game was huge....this takes it to another level..
Over on the Switch I'll be continuing Octopath Traveller which as much as I'm loving,I don't like having to keep switching characters just to grind them so they are the right level for their chapter..
Oh and Steamworld Dig 2 which is awesome.
Have a great weekend all.

@LightingThor Really, I didn't know that. Roy is still the MOST annoying out of that bunch, maybe the most annoying character ever 😁

Final Fantasy VI Advance

@TheArt yep Fontaine and Micah are voiced by the same person, but anyway L.A Noire is a classic hopefully there’s a sequel in the distant future. So much potential.

I still haven't packed up my consoles from my moving boxes, so laptop gaming it is. Mainly older games, like Rage of Mages, Stronghold 2 and Alpha Centauri (which are still really good by the way), but also some new ones like Shadowgate and Offworld Trading Company.

After putting it off for years I collected the last few rings I needed in Dark Souls 3 for the ring trophy and to pop the platinum. With that finally done I'll be starting the DLC and also putting a few hours into Persona 5.

@LightingThor it's sad the incredibly detailed city of LA was underutilized, just the dispatch calls as side missions. Even still it manages to be 21hrs+ game just focusing on main missions, so it's easy to forgive the lack of typical R* open worldness.

Just collected all the audio diaries in Bioshock, next on to beating the game on survivor for the platinum. Will also add in some Sims 4 and will hopefully get around to paying Nioh

Not long started God of War so putting some time into that after a bit of a hiatus following rdr2. It's good to see there's still a healthy amount of GOW dna in there despite the changes, which are also great. I've always loved Kratos' bluntness so enjoying being back with that. Brok is brilliantly written and performed, too. I can see why it's rated so highly even at the relatively early stage I'm at. Big thumbs up.

just go platium on days gone started truberbrook and american futertive

Hey guys I'm still playing my way through Darksiders on PS3. I'm having a hard time staying interested in it to be honest. It's solid fun, but feels like it just copied things from a bunch of other games and stuck it all together, with a very clichè script. But I'm determined to get the platinum and get it off my trophy list.

Happy gaming everyone

@Enuo Ah man, that’s really disappointing about Code Vein. It was one of the few games I was looking forward to this year. I hope they can fix it before release.

I’m mopping a few rounds of Injustice 2, which has been a really pleasant surprise. It might be my favorite fighter in recent memory (granted I don’t play many). Likely I will complete my time with it and move on though. I feel like I need to keep balance in my soul so I might go to Spider-Man next to give Marvel some gaming time.

Warhammer Chaosbane, Days Gone, Rage 2, FIFA 19, and maybe some Division 2.

Nsmbu on wii u, mario and rabbids on switch, and ffxv episode prompto on ps4. Nsmbu is too challenging, rabbids sometimes too easy, perhaps bc I do some of the challenges. Episode prompto is a breeze, although storywise it's good. Good fun over all.

I am studying for the last week of my exams. It's hard to resist playing but soon I will finally be free to clear my backlog

Days Gone and Pillars of Eternity. Maybe some baseball and MK 11 here and there.

Last boss on The Messenger is in the cross hairs. And maybe more Chasm. Been on a big 2D retro kick lately

I'm giving Wolfenstein 2 a bash after buying it in the sale. I'm enjoying it so far and remembering why I didn't save Wyatt in the first game. Fergus FTW!

It's a VR weekend for me with Trover and Blood and Truth. Unfortunately my gf wanted to go see Ed Sheeran so tomorrow 0 gaming for me

Anyway how do you guys feel after Liverpool won? YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE...AND MANCHESTER UNITED SUUUUUCKS.

Putting AC oddysey aside since its repetitiveness burnt me out. So I'm all in for Deus Ex Mankind divided once again.l, absolutely loving it. The level design of this game is superb. The side missions are great. Too bad for the abrupt ending

Got Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for my birthday so have been playing that all week and am now nearing the end. Chloe and Nadine are great leads and demonstrate that the series can work well without Nathan Drake as the protagonist. I like that there is less combat compared to its predecessors. It's also absolutely gorgeous.

@fabisputza00 I had to take a break from Odyssey as well. It's too formulaic. Also the levelling up system sucks. I was under-leveled for my next story mission so I went around and did some stuff, maybe killed a few too many mercenaries or whatever. Go back to the story mission; just a bunch of exposition and a little bit of busy work, but a tonne of XP, and boom now I'm over-levelled and the game is boring because it's too easy. It's annoying. I've always found this kind of stuff annoying about RPGs. They should just be challenging all the time like Bloodborne.

@TheArt I need to play LA Noire again, its easily one of my favourite Rockstar games and its nice to have to think for a change in these types of game

@get2sammyb will be too busy watching Liverpool win a 6th champions league final!!!!
You've given us a lot of stick over the years on here so have a bit back!

@carlos82 Yea I wasn't sure to get it again for PS4 because I had played the heck out of it last gen. And here I am playing it like a new game no regrets, it's even more pretty at 1080p with the draw distances. And that facial animation scan... You know you can't find it anywhere.

@mookysam Yes, but that one didn't sell very well. So the series doesn't necessarily "work" without him.

@ellsworth004 I would say so. Hearts of stone is a fantastic self-contained story and blood and wine I feel is very much the end of geralts story. Enjoy by the way, hearts of stone is my all time favourite dlc!!

@R1spam about how long are dlcs would u guess?

I just stumbled across Kao the Kangaroo round 2 on Steam for free?! So, I guess that's this weekend for me, done.

@ellsworth004 HoS maybe about ten, that's why it's my favourite as the story is really tight. Some tougher bosses too. B&W maybe 30-40, it's really another witcher game rather than dlc! The map us HUGE!

VR headset Firmly planted on my head. Loving the VR golf game , Trover Saves the universe! I have blood and truth and have not started it yet. Great stuff.

@R1spam i am looking forward to cyberpunk, but i personally would of rather had another witcher game.

@ellsworth004 I've only played 3 (and loved it) but keep toying with the idea of buying 2 and giving it a try. Hope cyberpunk lives up to the hype, what I've seen so far looks promising

Had plans for Observation exploration (2 trophies away from platinum) but Nioh 2 alpha footage had me chipping away at levels in Nioh that are way beyond my skill, yet again ☺️. I'm 94 percent there. So close yet so, so far away!
