Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 347

Sinking my teeth further into Sekiro. Really enjoying it so far. Also got a new external SSD to house all the PS4 games on, so it's an easy transition to when the PS5 arrives.

Just got the Dishonored 2 platinum, it was long overdue. Still on TLOUII 2nd run. The immensely fun Genshin Impact. RDRII 3rd playthrough. Then it's hunting more trophies in other games.

Yakuza 0 – always running behind on that pile

Mopping up the last of the Vampyr trophies, before moving onto divinity original sin 2

@munkholt Snap. Finally decided to start the Yakuza backlog. Super enjoying it. Why did I wait so long? ... lol

FF7 Original.

Doing a throwback a playing Jeanne D'Arc on the PSP quite possibly the best JRPG Sony has ever produced IMHO

Dying light the following and nioh.and watching my Pittsburgh Steelers beat the titans on nfl sunday games of the week.cant wait.and watching some retro holloween games .old school rap music and watching some retro wwf match.with ultimate warrior.jake the 🐍 snake roberts.legion of doom.etc.word up son

Took a punt a while ago on Space Crew as it looked fun and a bit different. Enjoying so far and a got for £12 with Bomber Crew included so well worth the price. I've kept all my crew alive so far but just got into the high risk missions.

Remnant from the Ashes and a few rounds of Hades.

Both are difficult, but not too bad!!

Uncharted 4, trying to get the platinum, I just have some collectables and a second attempt at the speedrun trophy left to do.

Other than playing the worst game ever (weekend work rotation) I'm going to try pick at Shadows of War a little. Might do some Tachyon runs with mates tomorrow night. Tonight doing a 3 hour Twitch stream of Until Dawn since it's almost Halloween and letting the chat make decisions. How can that go bad for the characters? 🤣

More 13 Sentinels, should hopefully finish it within a few days before Trails of Cold Steel 4 arrives.

Bought my first ea game in about 5 years with Star Wars fallen order so will be honing my Jedi skills this weekend...

About 3 hrs in on Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice. Just beat the first boss. Great game so far but seems very puzzle heavy. Combat is great and the graphics are something else
Also trying to crack Darkest Dungeon which is utterly fantastic but jeez it's hard as a coffin nail !
Also will try to blitz Starcraft 2 and Crusader King 3 on laptop
Stay safe guys ♥️♥️

Playing Nights of Azure & GT Sport this weekend!

@playstation1995 Watch out for Derrick Henry though, that guy will take some stopping!

Finishing the epilogue of Red Dead 2, kind of bittersweet for many reasons but it's time. Will explore the old map over a few days once done with the story but that's it, too much left to do in order to 100% it. This time round anyway!

Enjoy your weekend guys!

👍

@KingPev is that on Game Pass? I have a Series S preoedered and loved the first one?

Mainly doing more Yakuza 0 and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. Also carrying on with Persona 1 as well.

At lvl50 on Need For Speed Payback, will be trying to advance the story

Genshin Impact, making the push to Rank 40 today, some Ghost of Tsushima co-op tomorrow and a bit of Muramasa Rebirth on Vita. Happy gaming all!

Until WD legions comes out . I'm not playing anything on ps4 at the moment. Really enjoying disco elysium on PC though

Gonna have a few races on payback then try to get into Halloween mood by starting either RE2, darkwood or darkest dungeon. Maybe eventually get on to Genshin impact but concerned it could become a massive timesink and take over my week! Have a good weekend and happy gaming all

@Col_McCafferty. True.but Pittsburgh got the best defense in the nfl.pittsburgh Steelers is ready.they going to win.word up son

Thinking about jumping into the Tony Hawk 1+2 Remake. It's been sitting on the shelf since September and I feel going between that and Crash 4 will keep me busy until the PS5 is out.

DS2 give me soulsss

Yeah spiritfarer is a deeply emotional trip. I finished it yesterday it was an awesome journey!

Long weekend for me so going to get a decent amount of game time in before back to work on tuesday.
Finished the excellent 13 Sentinels last night and with only 4 trophies left im determined to obtain the Plat.
Being on Final chapter of Tokyo Xanadu Ex it's also possible I may be finishing that one too..
Also been busy at work on Paper Mario and only have the last paper stream to do so also near the end of that one it seems..
One game I'm nowhere near the end of is Mad Max but I'm determined to get some time on that one over the weekend.I only like playing one open world game at a time so I'm hoping to finish it before Assassins Creed Valhalla on my upcoming Ps5

I just finished Ghost of Tsushima, so not sure what I'll be playing next. Maybe I'll finally start Persona 5, or start Days Gone on PS Now. Have a great weekend everyone!

Still blowing minds out of the skulls of ruffians and outlaws in the post-nuclear apocalyptic wasteland of Fist of the North Star. Final Chapter Extra Hard playthrough.
84% in-game completion - 88% Trophies- still ways to go. But still enjoying it immensely!

@playstation1995 Don't mean to offend but have they played anyone that's any good yet? Maybe the Browns but the always flatter to deceive.

Steelers obv are a really good team but I rate at least two better than them in the AFC (Chiefs and Ravens) and the match up against the Titans is going to be really close imo.

Anyway, enjoy the game!

Finished GoT which I loved.

Struggling to get into Red Dead Redemption 2 because it’s so complicated and slow after Ghost. I’ll persevere and hopefully get into it.

Also started Resident Evil 7 last night which is creepy as hell! Finally a resident evil game as scary as RE2

I thought I was going to take a break from Genshin Impact, but then I got my most wanted 5 star character and now I'm determined to take my team to the next level.
(Help me)

God of war and rogue company

Hi there fellow gamers. I´ve been kinda off lately with some projects over the weeks so I haven´t played all that much.
Already finished NiOh2 second dlc, wich is really good by the way. Wasn´t expecting a new weapon so that was cool.
For the weekend I´ll probably go for another round of Genshin Impact(it´s surprisingly good...... And addictive) and go for some 2d fighting games Blazblue and Guilty Gear.
Cheers, stay safe out there, take care of one another and happy gaming to us all.
Have a great weekend everybody

Have flogged my ps4 before ps5 arrives so a switch bonanza this weekend. Played some more hollow knight last night and beat a certain female boss again before getting to the coloseum of fools. Some wholesome animal crossing and mario maker with the fam. Happy weekend people

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Arrived in Zora's Domain to begin the third dungeon.

The Walking Dead: Season Two (Vita) - Starting on Episode 4, Episode 3 was really messed up....

AlphaJax (Windows Phone) - Still playing here and there.

@vegeta11 are you talking about Hellblade ?

Playing genshin impact, it seems that I miss venti banner, it's kind of annoying that I can't just buy the characters 😅

Dabbling in Hades on my PC, which is a platform I rarely game on as I just don't enjoy the experience, to see what the fuss is all about.

Will wait for PS4/PS5 version to dive into it properly but yep, it's an awesome game.

I’m Trying to get through the backlog before the big day. Currently Playing Far Cry 4 and taking breaks in between with Pinball Arcade.

I’m two trophies away from getting the Plat in LBP2 on PS3. For the Love of Sackboy I may try to pull it off before the BIG Adventure!

Going old school with the Sega Genesis Mini. I was never a fan of Phantasy Star games but I got hooked on Phantasy Star IV. Probably play Streets of Rage 2 and Road Rash 2 as well. On PS4- Street Fighter 5, and Dragon Crown Pro.

@KingPev yeah I guess you're playing on Playstation. I played the first when it came out a few years ago. I figured since it's an Xbox company now and the second is coming only to Xbox in the holiday if it was on Game Pass I'd play it again before the new one dropped.

@Col_McCafferty. Steelers is gonna win against titans.and next week against the ravens.so its all good.word up son

Plodding on, waiting for Cyberpunk 2077.

Hmmm might fire up streets of rage 4 or finish the walking dead telltale series. Been drilling the division 2 season pass tasks it's been huge and a real grind.

Lego the hobbit. Just the campaign for now. A bit of rise of the tomb raider and cat quest.

@KingPev I enjoyed Hellblade but I was tearing my hair out by the 3rd playthrough looking for that 1 lorestone to get the platinum but thankfully it wasn't far into the game before I found it!

Ni No Kuni is my main game at the moment but I might mix it up with some others!

@MightyDemon82 yeah I'm gonna try for the plat, my patience allowing. Some of the puzzles fry my tiny brain 😂

Vampyr using the neoseeker guide. Despite the crashes , like this game a lot. Also Genshin Inpact and MK 11 story mode

@Tasuki Forza Horizon 4 is even better and on GamePass 👍

@vegeta11 it's on GamePass yeah but I'm playing on PS4. The puzzles screwed me until I 'got' how they work

After a 6 month hiatus, I’ve picked up Jedi Fallen Order again. It’s a reasonably good game, but my god are the graphics and animations substandard.

I’m playing GreedFall still...much bigger game than I was anticipating. I’m enjoying it a lot. Happy gaming!

@KingPev it's fairly easy just the Lorestones can be missable!

@deathaxe sounds bad ! To be honest I only use GamePass on my Xbone, if there's any PC titles I want, I purchase on Steam, purely for those reasons you've just highlighted !

@Caliburn08 Great shout on Jeanne d'arc, fantastic game that I never completed, may have to fire it back up myself!!

Started Ghost of Tsushima the other day but not had too much chance to play it, so I'm hoping to sink my teeth into that.

Maybe a bit of Nioh 1 as well

Dragon Quest, echoes of an elusive age, wasn't sure if I would like it but so far it's got a great story. Still haven't tried The council yet.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Mostly Yakuza 0. I'm about halfway through the story, and also making decent progress on the completion list. I might go for the platinum if I'm not feeling too burnt out by the time I finish the story.

Also playing a little of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario Bros. 35 on Switch.

FIFA 21 because I can't help myself and i must obviously enjoy the small fits of rage that come with it.

Working on my backlog. Right now I'm playing Killzone Shadow Fall never finished it.. 4 chapters to go it's .. Okay not as good as the previous entries.
Also playing Broken Age which I like alot. And maybe Platinum Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and AC Odyssey for both games 3 trophies to go including the under water activities one in AC Odyssey pfff

@CKFilms
I’m going to hazard a guess that you’ve played Dark Souls/ Bloodborne et al. If so how do you compare Sekiro to those games?

@Daleaf
Not had the urge to go back to DS yet?

GT sports and Metal Gear Solid V

Nioh 2 (the game that just keeps on giving) DLC 2 Darkness In The Capital. Farming weapons so I can upgrade my 190 +27 axe to 190 +30 that I assume is max for this DLC.
I'm already looking forward to december and DLC 3. I also hope Team Ninja will patch this game to use some PS5 functions like the SSD for faster loading and so on.

@Lumic I mean it's all about finding a good rhythm to each of them. Bloodborne was very much about being on the offensive, but this one you want to be deflective hits and working on the enemy's posture. I would say Sekiro is the toughest of the lot as there are a lot of sub bosses to defeat.

Just finished main campaign in Anthem - still really enjoying this game! The loot is quite boring, but the feeling of flying around in my Javelin is just plain AWESOME. Even if the endgame doesn't deliver, it was worth the $6 I paid for it. Excited to see how Bioware brings this game back to life... fingers crossed!

Sundered and NFS Payback.

After being a bit burned out on MH world i thought id chuck on some god of war. Completed the story last year but thought id try do a few side quest and unfog some of the map.

Played PT with my wife, forgot how goddamn terrifying that demo is. Restarted Until Dawn, which is my favorite (only one I am able to finish) horror game ever? I also beat Journey for maybe the 15th time, on PS3 no less lol And tonight I tried this game Lydia for Switch and it was pretty depressing. So I guess you can say I had a pretty great weekend

@Daleaf
Nice one. Yeah the combat is superb on Sekiro, although I prefer the worlds of Dark Souls / Bloodborne (I just find them more interesting in terms of lore and exploration). Sounds like your blasting through at the moment - once you kill the next boss the game really opens up for you. I’m trying to finish my second play through for the Shura ending but the final boss doesn’t want to play fair and keeps kicking my ass.
