Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 302

How early? Well I've finished the marvellous Death Stranding and now I'm chipping away at the final four trophies for the platinum.

Mainly though I'll be getting stuck into Resident Evil 2, I finished both campaigns at launch but now I'm returning to full immerse myself in the world again and then go for the unlockable weapons. All whilst hoping the dlc comes out soon.

Finally a bit of Kingdom Hearts 3 on the side, I have no idea what's going on but it looks pretty and I'm having fun

Darkest dungeon.hitman definitive edition.and remnant from the ashes.all instant classics games.and on im watching my Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night 🏈 football.lets get this win Steeler nation.here we go.word life.word to your mother.word is bond.word ☝ up son

Trying to juggle Divinity Original Sin II: Defintive Edition , Soul Calibur VI and Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night all on PS4.

Not usually one for playing three different games at a time but I'm managing... just! 😂

Put Witcher III on hold though to accomdate my new purchases. I just reached Skellige though so not a bad time for a break at all.

I've just started Days Gone and loving it as well as Lego The Movie Videogame 2 and uh..loving that too.
I may go back and have another go at Zanki Zero but I am so stuck on it right now which is a shame because it's a fantastic game.
On the Switch I'll be playing Luigi's Mansion 3 and Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Oh and forgot to mention I finished and got the plat for Life Is Strange 2 which is an awesome game and I have to say I think I enjoyed it as much as the first game.

God of War 4. It's been a while since I enjoyed myself with a AAA Western game, but this has been an enjoyable, if somewhat run by the numbers, hiking trip.

I actually started an old unplayed game that's been collecting dust until now; The Order 1886. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Donkey Kong...on Game Boy...from 1994. It's very good.

Gave up on the Valkyrie Queen in GOW for now, will get back to her. Looking to check out the new radio station in GTAV, new Story Mode additions in RDR2. Plus some FIFA 20 and San Andreas.

Nothing. My TV died...

Spyro trilogy my next platinum

I gotta work this weekend 😑. But will definitely put in some game time. I recently got back into King of Fighters 13. I’m on an SNK fix, so I’ll be throwing in some Samurai Shodown as well. Smash Brothers on Switch and maybe mess around with the Sega Genesis Mini.

Middle Earth Shadow of War. Havin fun with the orcs...lol

What’s going on guys I am back in the states, and without a PS4. I plan to go back to Ico on PS3, and get the platinum for it soon.

Happy gaming everyone.

I refuse to answer the question because this article is over 12 hours too early. You have officially turned my world upside-down.

I am really close of giving up days gone. The repetitive structure, bad plot and unlikable characters are forcing me to take that decision.
Just bought a plague tale, Which seems to be really good. I’ll be playing that and pes2020

Dragon Quest XI S. Possibly the most charming game I've ever played.

Collecting Stars in Death Stranding.

Uncharted 1 & Pure Pool

ESO! Been playing this game every weekend for almost 4 years lol. Also gonna be on Ghost Recon: Breakpoint with my buddies. I love it when a game comes along like that and all my buds get into it.

Days gone! I'm definitely getting towards the end of the story. That's as specific as I can be without spoilers. I love the idea of an open world zombie game, but this one was definitely short of perfection. It took me a few hours to get into the story, learn the clunky combat and figure out how to navigate the (beautiful) world. Then I was really sucked in for quite a while, until the story took a weird turn... It's a good game, but my GOTY is still going to RE2. That game is really polished!

When I'm done with days gone, I'm torn as to what to play next! I think I want to play a game that's not open world, and then jump back into another open world. But at the same time I really want to see what all the hype is on death stranding. So I'll either pick that up, COD MW, or medievil.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider mostly, maybe I'll put a few hours into Resonance of Fate or chip away at some AC Odyssey as well.

Been playing Jedi Fallen Order for about 8 hours today. Having a blast!

@playstation1995 good luck to your steelers! My best friend is a huge steelers fan so we watch them every sunday. I dont know how they are doing it but they are winning with everyone hurt or gone, i guess its because Tomlin is best coach in the nfl. He should definitely get coach of the year.

But anyway on topic, still slowly making my way thru star wars, just trying to make it last as long as possible. I love that game.

A preemptive ‘what are you playing this weekend’ has caught me by surprise as I awaken early Saturday morning. I have a nice free day so once I get out of bed I’m going to have a good session on Fallen Order until the Liverpool game. Maybe try for some action shots with the new photo-mode.

Apparently a photo-mode has been added to RDR2 but going to try and avoid getting sucked back into that too much as I have lots of other games waiting to be played.

Steamworld Heist!

Wow this was up early, got to go out but hopefully I'll have the platinum in Death Stranding by Sunday evening if I get a bit of time. Almost 130 hours spent in that game so far!

Nothing because I'm away from home this weekend 😭. Really itching to sink a serious all day session into Witcher 3 but with the Christmas holidays coming, there will be ample opportunity!

Eh? Have I missed a day? This should be Saturday. My weekend schedule is ruined.

Anyway Witcher 3 for me. Aim to finish by Chrimbo?

@m1349
Come on man, calling it a turd is harsh. It took me two attempts to get into W3 but when it clicked I got sucked into it for hours. Combat is basic and clunky compared to Dark Souls but then Dark Souls has nothing on the plot of W3. Having said that, I don't consider W3 to be a masterpiece people make it out to be.

On topic: Having bounced off of AC Odyssey for the second and final time I started Modern Warfare Remastered and loving every second of it! Happy gaming everyone.

@ellsworth004. Yeah Steelers fans are everywhere.tomlin deserve coach of the year with all the injuries.nice profile pic of sekiro .game of the year.stars wars fallen order is the best star wars game ever.word up son

@gollumb82 @m1349 Sometimes when you play great games toooooo late, you don't feel that greatness impact. If you both played Witcher 3 for the first time in 2019 or even 2018 I don't think it'll click. It's like someone on here saying they played Skyrim for the first time in 2019 and didn't get the hype, you're never gonna get the hype when you're playing it 8 years too late.

@m1349 @TheArt
It's ok, criticism is fine. If you think W3 is bad try playing W1 😉 I did and didn't last 2 hours even. The Art is right on the money, as well. Time is not kind to our favourite kind of entertainment, sadly. I'm reminded of it every time when I fire up a game from my GOG library on the PC...

So I'll head back to Witcher 3 and play plenty of it. Excellent game, but I've just not found enough time to play it recently. Also do some Monster Hunter World Iceborne and Pokemon Shield. It there's time then maybe some Splatoon 2 or Super Smash Bros Ultimate as well.

If I have time, which I dont seem to at the moment, still trying to get through Shenmue 3 and Fallen Order...

God of War 4.
It’s been in my backlog since it was released.

It’s....Ok I guess. Certainly pretty but fairly shallow.

Family are staying so access to PS4 is limited. I've been on my vita instead, getting the plat on 'my big sister' (surpringly fun), continuing my Trails of Cold Steel 2 run, and revisiting Little Big Planet Vita

When i have access to PS4 tomorrow, i'll continue my run of Detroit (which is a great game!)

Wow this is early, well I'm still running around Greece with my girl Kas. Being slightly murderous in Sims 4 and I may finally start judgement or Resident evil 2. Have a nice weekend everyone before the mad rush. 🙂

Hitman definitive edition and Yakuza 0. I find Yakuza tiresome sometimes but then the next time I play it I thoroughly enjoy it.

I'm going to start Toukiden Kiwami, apparently this is quite a big game, so if I like it, I will be on it for a while.

Briquid Mini (Windows Phone) - Pretty boring tbh.

3D Brick Breaker Revolution (Windows Phone) - Still my favourite time killer atm.

UNO & Friends (Windows Phone) - Found another offline workaround.

@Dr_Derp I watched some gameplay video of it today. Seems like the shooting is pretty similar to Uncharted. That a fair assessment?

@Ichiyama Yeah, it is pretty similar to UC as far as the third person cover based shooting mechanic, but handles a little stiffer than UC as I recall. And the shooting is more varied due to some retro and futuristic style guns.

Keep chugging along in Persona 5. I'm having a lot of fun!

@Th3solution Thank you.

I've got 2 trophies to get to platinum Resi Evil 2 but it's all about cooking moonshine in Red Dead Online for me this weekend.

Trying to finish Control but with the god awful frame rate drops,I a not sure I can...

Beyond 2 souls on ps4 mostly. Maybe finish up lego avengers too

Still death stranding lvl 280 on chapter 6, having fun building zip lines up in the mountains.

Red Dead with the new Moonshiner dlc and a visit or two to Days Gone Oregon.

I had an itch to play RE 3 on my PS3, but i watched an excellent play through video instead.

I just bought a PS4 on cyber Monday - my first PlayStation since the PS2. Currently playing, and loving, Gran Turismo. Next up, Spiderman

@Bondi_Surfer
Welcome to the family son! 😉 (Sorry, I had to, Resident Evil 7 pun intended). Great picks for games btw.

@m1349 meh, your loss.

😆

@TheArt Hmm I disagree. I started TW3 last year but it didn't click and I ended up abandoning it ahead of RDR2.

Came back to it this summer, took my time exploring the world and ended up absolutely loving it. It's a brilliant game, a Game of the Generation contender and the two DLCs are excellent.

Don't worry though, I probably still prefer RDR2.... but it's very close!

😉

Starting Kingdom Hearts 2.5 after finishing 1.5. Got the All in One package for $30 a few weeks ago and absolutely loving it!

Started Fallout 4 on Thursday, gave up on it on Saturday, what a buggy badly made mess. Yes I should've listened to others but I got it for free so nothing lost except my will to ever try one of their games again.
