Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 369

I'm fully addicted to Hades since buying it over a week ago! I just finished a run where I got to the final boss for the first time, and I died fairly close to beating them. Cannot wait to play more, it's an amazing game that feels beautiful to play, and nails everything it's trying to do. One of the best games I've played in ages!

Started Immortals Fenyx Rising which is decent so far. Also just finished Yakuza 6, which was very good, can't wait to play Like a Dragon.

Still finding someone to play It Takes Two with x)
Otherwise I will be playing "Yakuza Like a Dragon, AC Valhalla and maybe a bit Halo 3

I played a little bit of Rez Infinite this morning but I'm going to set up VR later and play it on that along with other games! I recently finished Spiritfarer which was amazing and I've started Dishonored and Ace Combat 7 so more of those as well as try and get my current book finished . Have a great weekend everyone!

Only two games for me this weekend Zelda The Wind Waker HD on WiiU. A work of art, one of the finest games ever, but man, I forgot how hard it can be
Also Horizon Zero Dawn Frozen Wilds DLC, another gem of a game.
Have a great weekend guys ♥️♥️

I finished Death Stranding last night so not sure what's next. Maybe nothing today as I'm feeling pretty beat after going to bed a 2am. Thanks Kojima. I should have known better when I assumed the credits rolling at midnight meant I was off to bed 😂😭

Subnautica and Abzu

Be rude not to, as free 🤠

My gaming time this weekend will be split between...

On Xbox 1 i'm playing Octopath traveler, Pardise Lost, WRC 9 and hopefully finishing Tell Me Why.

On Ps4 I'm still on Assassins Creed 2 via Assassins Creed Ezio collection and Assassins Creed Valhalla.

Working a lot this weekend, but hoping to give Enter the Gungeon a go at some point

Control. Really close to the platinum trophy I can sense it. Hopefully get it done over the weekend.

How are articles posted from the future? I’ve always wondered this.

Turned the PS5 on for the first time in over a month to try out the Watch Dogs Legion trial. As anticipated, the main draw is touring a virtual London. The lack of main character is immediately quite jarring - I really can’t think who thought that was a good idea from a narrative point of view.

Alas not much time for gaming at the moment - I see I’ve totalled 35 hours total game time on the PS5 since launch day - sad face.

Finished off Ratchet and Clank. It's more FARCRY3CE & 5DLCs. Working towards LA Noire Plat as I already 100percented it on 360 back in the day, I need that Plat here too. Still sauntering in the Epilogue of my 3rd playthrough of the legendary RDRII of course. Oh yea then I'd try the freebies if I can, it's Subnautica for now.

PS5 - On the final boss of Persona 5 Royal and trying to get Master rank on Apex Legends

Switch - Ori and The Blind Forest | Also Original FF7

Happy Gaming Weekend Fam!

Almost beat 3D dot game heroes so after beating it I’ll probably start yakuza 0.
Besides that I finally caught a shiny tapu bulu in shield and finally bred a shiny vullaby so I’m now trying to get tapu fini and dhelmise.

Until dawn.bioshock collection.judgement.and dark souls 3.the 4 🐎 horeseman of gaming.4 amazing games.and watching tomorrow afternoon my Michigan wolverines ncaa college 🏀 basketball march madness at 5 pm new york time.cant wait.lets go wolverines.word life.word is bond.word to your mother.word up son

Monster Hunter Rise, of course. Awesome game.

I started It Takes Two with a buddy of mine yesterday and we're LOVING it so far. Two chapters in and I can't wait to play more.

It's a Nintendo weekend for me with Link's Awakening and Mario 3d World

control, subnautica... and P.T.! been a while since the last time i played it and i already forgot some of the clues and stuff, besides... i want Lisa to scare the ***** out of me again, lol!

I too am currently playing Persona 4 Golden on PS Vita!

The same usual games I’ve been playing for awhile now. Tekken 7, Samurai Shodown and Yakuza Like a Dragon.

Monster Hunter Rise is the big game for me. I might break up the hunts with some Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, or some Fall Guys.

Pokémon Blue Version (Game Boy) - Making my way down Cycling Road towards Fuchsia City.

Angry Birds Stella (Windows Phone) - Still working on completing each and every last level.

Gerbil Physics (Windows Phone) - Continuing along with this as well.

-Skyrim - some main story and thieves guild.
-Battletoads
-Intimidates to start MH Rise. Never played a MH before. Seems like quite the time investment and so many good games to play in backlog.

Switch - Continuing to play through Crash 4, maybe a bit of Splatoon 2!

PS4 - Weekly GTA Online session with friends!

PC - Trying out the 2020 Battletoads via Game Pass!

Have a good weekend everyone.

Yakuza 5 is ongoing (fantastic game, much better than 4), also paper beast and enter the gungeon. My backlog is just getting worse and worse.

Horizon Zero Dawn, a game that continues to deliver. Over the halfway point of the main story now and looking to become a member of the Hunter's Lodge (although not sure why Aloy should care).

In addition the occasional run (or three!) in Fall Guys. Some fun new levels have been added so well delve into these when I need a brief gaming break from defeating machines and getting mad at Sylens telling me what to do!

Enjoy whatever you play this weekend and do.

I've got two trophies left for my ff7r platinum, but i just can't be bothered today. Inbetween real life f1 and boxing i might crack on with my nfs hot pursuit remastered gold run.

Crash bandicoot 4 on ps5!

@TheLightSpirit ...I think the combat etc is easy especially compared to older Zelda's, it's mainly some of the more obtuse puzzles. I'm getting old and my brain doesn't function like it used to. I first played this on the GameCube in 2003, it's a masterpiece.

Bloodborne has taken over my free gaming time. I'm close to the end but I am filling in any areas I missed first time. The most amazing game I ever played.

Mainly sailing around the Greek Isles with my man Barnabas in my favourite Assassin's Creed game of the entire series.

This weekend, I'm cashing the Sony welfare check. Already started ABZU, Subnautica, and the Witness last night, and thought they all were good enough to keep playing, so play them I will.

Good gaming.

Continuing my madness with the Sinking City and cannot wait to see my special not all consuming deep god. 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Apart from that I might try some of the new stay at home games on offer.

I'll be making a list this weekend, need to go through the PS3 store to see what classics I haven't bought thanks to that store shut down rumour.

I have a US and UK account and I mixed.

Nioh for me, currently at 80% mission completion.

I'm about halfway through the second jail in Persona 5 Strikers.

I've been revisiting Rayman Legends, which is better than I remember....and a sad reminder of the stale garbage Ubisoft releases these days.
I bought Crash 4 for the PS5, which I might get to if I can be bothered.

@Col_McCafferty So she can obtain some of the best weapons in the game. 😀. Can't wait for the next game! Have fun taking down those machines.

I've been back more on the Switch again of late. Started Monster Hunter Rise yesterday having finished Bowser's Fury on Thursday. on PS5 I've been enjoying Yakuza Like A Dragon. Still pretty early on I think, about 7 hours in. Also checked out the free Play At Home games, because why not. Gungeon in particular is one I've always wanted to try but haven't picked up.

Still working my way through the cult in Odyssey and started my replay of all the main Resident Evil series, with Zero, before 8 releases. Also been watching my partner play Detroit - interesting game and I might be a little in love with Connor

@gamiller1978 how do you check this?

Nioh for me then I’m probably going to mop up some bits I left unfinished in GoT before lending it to a friend. Lots of samurai action

Playing outriders demo on ps5, while on pc I'm playing octopath traveller and valheim.

@MightyDemon82 I've already got some pretty good weapons as playing NG+ but have unlocked the Adept ones now. Taking down machines is always a lot of fun, taking different approaches each time and playing around with the weapons. I'm not in a rush to finish the main story but looking forward to playing The Frozen Wilds DLC as there are new machines to take down, should be fun!

Finally have PS5. Just got a platinum on Astro's playroom and now I'm back on Miles Morales. Maybe play a few rounds FIFA 21.

I'm surprised there are not many games from Play at home here in the comments.

I was playing WD: Legion trial, I had a great start but after few hours I understood all those negative reviews. Glad I didn't pay for it, not even gonna finish the trial.

I finished Abzu in one take yesterday. Blew me away, beautiful music and visuals. I was surprised as I didn't like Journey.

Gonna try Witness and Subnautica tonight and tomorrow.

Hooked on Risk of Rain 2 again with the brilliant new update, along with FIFA’s birthday thingy, some Mortal Shell which is alright I guess and some Tony Hawk PS5. I’ll chuck a couple of Rez Infinite levels in there too because it’s ace.

@Col_McCafferty I might do a replay before Forbidden west comes out. HZD was the game that got me to buy a PS4 in the first place after all!

Halfway through FF7 Remake.

@MightyDemon82 ha, same here. That and a chance to play the likes of Uncharted and The Last of Us which I missed out on after having a 360 over a PS3.

Horizon definitely sealed the deal!

@b1ackjack Lmaoo bro airbuster is no joke haha, Barrett is your rock in that fight

@AJ1 Nice man, what ya think?

FFXIV Heavensward and Zodiac Weapon stuff, with some Deus Ex Mankind Divided on the side and Sunday Nioh 2 last DLC trophy stuff

@TraCuz- amazing game, was a nice surprise from ps plus.

Still making my way through Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS5) and just starting Monster Hunter: Rise (Switch).

I finally got my PS5 last Saturday evening, the first playstation console I couldn't get at launch. I then had to work away from home early Sunday until Friday this week. I've spent the day setting up everything I need to. I think I'll go astro bot first then see where I go from there. I usually always have a few hours of COD with friends at some point but I really want to get stuck into something new. I may try control as I've already downloaded the ps5 version. I also just bought streets of rage in the sale. So that's an option. Then at some point I want to clear my ps4pro and give to my brother who's got his first baby on the way and not got much money for luxuries. So was thinking of leaving myself signed in and activated as primary user the set him up and he has access to my 280+ plus games at not cost.

@gingerfrog Congrats on your PS5 man, and that sounds like a great idea for your brother! Hope you enjoy Astro, super memorable little game.

Well my new sound bar for my man cave got delivered this morning so once that was set up i had to test out that new sub woofer with...thats right warzone..the wifes loving it 🤣...fenyx rising most of the afternoon...grand prix tomorrow..wifes going to love that too...

@SterlingEyes open menu, select titles, select gameplay record, mission achievement rate is in other, everything is being tracked.

@Mgene15 I played it for the first time last night and it kicked my ass. I had had a couple of drinks...but the difficultly is steep

Subnautica and Enter the Gungeon all weekend!

Damn, thank you, Sony!

Been mostly playing Sackboy’s big adventure with my 8 year old son in co-op been great so far. I will of course be doing all the trophy stuff by myself after we’ve finished it 😃

@gamiller1978 thanks! I didn’t know that was there. Thought I was pretty far through but apparently I’ve only done 35%

Astral Chain... I feel a bit conflicted.

On one hand the gameplay is good fun, a bit fiddly in places. The setting is rad, but the story isn't really grabbing me after 8hrs, I think the lack of a voiced protagonist is killing my investment in my strangely proportioned MC.

@Channel42 sure is. I went into it thinking platinum trophy. Let’s just say that ain’t happening..

@art_of_the_kill how’s subnautica?

I'm trying Watch Dogs Legion on my PS4 Pro because its free during the weekend. The 30fps looks like a slideshow and the graphics seems to be set on low to medium setting compared to my PC playthrough.

Still between houses and the ps4 is boxed away so no gaming. Although my copy of Medievil arrived today so I may stare at it. £11 second hand on eBay.

Still making my way through the Hollownest.

I thought I'd check out Watch Dogs Legion but the PS5 version is not available for the free weekend so I won't bother...

@TheLightSpirit yeah I find when I'm playing Zelda games I'll run around for an hour trying to work things out only to find the answers been staring you in the face ! And they always have those exasperating moments of "How the hell was I supposed to know to do that ??" ....but best games ever all the same

@playstation1995 I picked up nioh 2 complete edition today, can't wait to get into that. I loved the first one.

I've been playing the sinking city this week, really liking it a lot. I have a lot of time on my hands atm cuz I'm currently laid off from work with a foot injury, so I should get a lot of gaming in over the next couple of weeks.

@Col_McCafferty Heeyyy do that Hunters Lodge quests!! It unlocks one of the greatest battles ever! - REDMAW. Plus Taliana is one loving and interesting character. PushSquare should place HZD on that same pedestal they keep putting GoW going forward, honestly.

Just finished The Legend of Dragoon today. What a journey.

Finally got a ps5 last week but strangely addicted to super luckys tale on the series s so probably more of it and a bit of valhalla on ps5

@ellsworth004. Whats good playa.did u pick it up for ps4.word up son

@playstation1995 yup, don't have a ps4 yet

I've been playing Story of Seasons PoOT since launch and I can't stop. I'm also replaying Suikoden II and I really, REALLY need to finish Nioh and Nioh 2. :/

@ellsworth004. You dont have a ps4 yet.i thought you got a ps4.word up son

some THPS1+2 online after upgrade

playing Red Dead Redemption on PSNow for the first time

dabbling in some Stardew late at night!

bon weekend!

@playstation1995 lol I meant I don't have a ps5 yet

A good chunk of MK11 Ultimate with my bro, also Control and AC Valhalla.
All three - PS5 versions of course. Gorgeous games.

@Voltan

Didn’t realise this - so I’ve been playing the PS4 version? I thought it looked pretty good. Must be my eyesight.

Maneater on PS5, so far it's fun but nothing special!

@Vacuumator I'll make sure when I fire up my console in a minute but that's what I saw on Ubi's twitter.

AC Valhalla, clearing up Cent, 100 hours in, enjoying it.

So far I’ve played a little bit of the story mode in a Mortal Kombat 11, various hot shots golfs and had another fight with my Xbox one. xbaby one suddenly decided it was too good for the hdmi switcher that it’s been plugged into for the last two months and needed to be plugged directly into the television to display a signal.

Bough the two Arkham games in the current PS4 sale, so started replaying those... I really enjoyed the games back on PS3, so thought would see how the 'remasters' are. Edit: City has pretty bad framerate issues on my 'base' PS4, so I wouldn't recomend it to be honest, though Asylum seems OK.

@Shepherd_Tallon Same here, thoroughly enjoying my playthrough of Control and will switch to Returnal once I’m done with Control. I’ve put a lot of time into it so far but I think I’m only around 1/4 of the way through.

PS4: FF7 remake (love it!) and I just started Monster Hunter World and am trying to take it little by little cuz man is it overwhelming outside of the battles.

PS5: Devil May Cry 5 SE and Control. Having a lot of fun with DMC and am really sucked into Control.

YS IX MONSTRUM NOX
on the second to last chapter.

• will probably move on to P5 SCRAMBLE after.
