It’ll be lots of Red Dead and CoD for me this weekend
I’ve also had problems with the RDR2 control scheme, think it’s very unintuitive to be honest, and the fact NPCs can run under your horse causing you to get a bounty is very annoying. It’s also kinda hard to track what quests are available, I like the idea of a stripped back hood and map but there needs to be a tab for tracking quests

Re: Poll: Is Assassin's Creed Odyssey One of the Best Games in the Series?

Hego

Ya I like these kind of polls, provides a kind of litmus test for how the community feels about the game.
On the game itself, I’m really enjoying it despite the fact I couldn’t get into Origins and left it halfway through. This world of Greece is far more interesting to explore for me possibly, I absolutely love the Mythological elements in the game, Kassandras voice actress is brilliant and the writing has been very good so far, the combat is really enjoyable too.
I will say that there is a lot of fluff and very shallow mechanics/ concepts in the game though, the black quest markers are really generic quests that are easily ignored, the whole mercenary system is really under developed in my opinion, it’s really just a facade for a generic enemy generator.
Overall though the main quests plus the designed quests have been very good and the loot system is very fun

In between watching Europe beat the Yanks in the Ryder Cup!! and watch the two big Serie A games and the Madrid Derby (so much sport!!) I’ll be playing some FIFA 19 which I got this morning, some Smite and Rocket League as usual and maybe some Mafia 3 or Mad Max. I’m really only playing the latter to kill time till AC: Odyssey which I’m really excited for

I’m one trophy away from Plating Spider-Man so I’ll spend some time clearing up the various crimes to get that trophy. I’ll also be mixing in some Smite as usual, some Battlefield 4 (which I still maintain is more fun than 1) and more of the FIFA 19 demo which has been good so far.
P.S. today’s my birthday so my GF brought me to do one of those Escape Room things, was great fun, I’d highly recommend them!! Now for Villa to win tonight to cap off a great birthday!

In between watching the two big Serie A games this evening, I’ll continue with Final Fantasy XII Remaster which is becoming my favorite FF game I think, love the gambit system! Aside from that it’ll be the usual few runs on Dead Cells (my best run has gotten me to the Clockwork tower), Rocket League and Smite

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 233

Hoping to get time to play some more Dead Cells which has been excellent, Smite, Rocket League (fallen down that rabbit hole again!) and maybe some Deaths Gambit. The game has all the makings of an indie gem but its being let down by really unresponsive controls which have killed me numerous times. Badly needs a patch to improve the responsiveness IMO, it’s a killer in games like this

I’ve had the delights of PayDay 2 with friends since the good @AlexStinton turned us onto it. Love how tense it gets mid mission and some of those SWAT team swarms are crazy!! Besides that it’ll hopefully be some Rocket League as I redownload it in memory of @themcnoisys passing (from the forums) some Don’t Starve together and AC: Black Flag which I’m really enjoying as a prep for AC: Odyssey. There will be smite as well I imagine as always

Re: Soapbox: The Elder Scrolls Online Is an Underappreciated RPG Experience on PS4

Hego

Fully agree with this, bought ESO just before Summerset expansion and loved what I’ve played so far, have found zero toxicity in the game, found the world to be beautiful and full of reasons to explore, the combat is fun with plenty of interesting spells and skills to customize and the pvp stuff is very cool I’ve played it almost exclusively as a single player experience and as a game that I dip in and out of from time to time and clear a few quests. The quests as Ramsey says are well crafted with and often have branching elements to them, the NPCs tend to be varied and colorful and the quests are usually interesting. Highly recommend to any fan of Elder Scrolls who is looking for an experience to bridge the wait til Elder Scrolls VI

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 227

Will be watching the World Cup on Saturday but on Sunday I should get some Smite in, hopefully some R6: Siege now I’m beginning to have a team to play with. Might play some more Pillars of Eternity too which I’m slowly working my way through. And I’ve picked up Dirt 4 because it was “Dirt” cheap.......

Re: Poll: What Are Your Summer Gaming Habits?

Hego

I tend to game more as I’ve more time off, I try to focus on my backlog a bit if I can but not sure this year, I’m caught up in getting into a few MP games like Smite, ESO, For Honor and R6: Siege.
Hoping to finish Pillars of Eternity, the Banner Saga, Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 3 dlc (still haven’t played it!) and maybe Salt and Sanctuary to clear some backlog. Then again I’ve started replaying the Witcher 3 on Death March difficultly due to seeing a friend start it so.......

@Th3solution Well worth getting back into mate, great game.
I’m diving deep into Elder Scrolls Online, I’ve joined a guild and am blasting my way to level 50! Along with that it’ll be the usual Smite stuff, maybe a bit more Dark Souls Remaster (beat the Capra Demon last) and FIFA 18 which I bought on discount sololy on the World Cup update ( I’ve the fever!)

Going home for the weekend after a end of year teachers blow out party (still recovering) so next week I plan to finish off my platinum run on God of War (god I hate the store room trophy) more Smite, Dark Souls Remaster (which is still the best) and some Elder Scrolls online and BF1

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 208

It’ll be mostly Football Manager 2018 on IPad for me with some Smite with the Pushsquare crew on Sunday. Highly recommend FM touch on iPad btw, feels like the perfect combination of the old-school simple appeal of the Championship Manager games with the modern touch’s of Football Manager plus modern squads!

Not much for as I prepare for a holiday to Budapest but I’ve messed around a bit with Darkest Dungeon and Terraria. I’ve hit a wall in FFIV ( Tower of Zot?) but might have another lash at it after watching Ireland hammer Italy in the rugby. I’ve also got to mentally prepare myself for the new 50 shades film that my gf has booked us in for (pray for me lads)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 205

Hego

It’ll be Vita action today with some Final Fantasy IV and might make a start on Terraria or Darkest Dungeon.
Tomorrow I’ll be back on the PS4 with some Monster Hunter, BF1 to check out the new dlc and Smite. Yes, I’ve fallen back down the rabbit hole of Smite and into the welcoming arms of our resident Smite experts @Kyroki, @TripleGK and @AlexStinton. It’s been great actually re-learning the game again, just need to find another god to play as!
