This weekend I will finally try out Baldur's Gate 3. I think I will start with a dwarf
On the side I am trying to finish The Outer Worlds on the Switch JUST from the cartridge to be 100% sure that the game is playable from start to finish without any updates (even if there is "internet required" on the front of the box!). Currenly somewhere in the middle of the game (I have to find some chemicals for Phineas)
I will start my Claire A - Leon B run of Resident Evil 2
And If I find some time I will chip away some chapters in Half-Life 2.
I finished the main story in Skyrim and now I am starting Dawnguard. I have played it before but only once and now I have craving for beating Bethesda games!
I will also start Oblivion. I have never played more than an hour of the game so it will be exciting!
And for chilling I will play Symphony of the Night and Link Between Worlds
@Deljo I play games in bits. But there are times where I stick to a game until it is done. That happened with the Dark Souls series, Elden Ring, Lies of P, Bloodborne, Spider-Man 1 and 2, Blasphemous 2.
This weekend will be awesome! I have advanced a little in Fallout New Vegas and I've started doing quests for Mr. House. I have craving for some Assassin's Creed Odyssey. This will be my second run And finally I got my Castlevania Advance Collection for the Switch ... it is awesome! Even for a 100th time it never get's old! Castlevania is THE BEST thing to happen in the gaming world!
@MrBook The whole "I just want to experience the game!" is so fake nowadays.
Once Ubi sees that they could feed one turd to its "fanbase" then they will produce nothing but turds because they know that the "hardcore gamers" will be eating it and say "That was delicious, can we get more!?!". That is where the mini battle pass and season pass come into play
@nomither6 It seems that way with AAA releases. The future is grim for physical collection gamers but still there are so many games with good physical releases that could give you playtime of couple of lifetimes
I can't get over the fact that the disc will require you to connect to Ubi server in order to install it. And all of that just to sell their play 3 day early pass. Pure greed. This is also the first AC game to do that
Can't wait for Assassin's Creed India where the main protagonist is Mahatma Gandhi (a pacifist) turned into assassin because there is no fun otherwise Also he should eat lots of beef
Wasn't Yasuke just a sword bearer and not a real samurai? I read that he was like a pet or a jester to the daimyo Oda Nobunaga, you know for fun because he is exotic looking for the Japanese people in that era.
Either way the game could be fun. For now, I am not that hyped.
1. With the PS5 update I have started a new Fallout 4 run (AGAIN!) and I just saved Nick Valentine. 2. I am continuing to advance in Serious Sam The Second Encounter. 3. Some casual play in Castlevania Portrait of Ruin 4. And a little Link to the Past
@QualityGeezer It is in a very convenient time for me in my country
Also I know the time frame. No magic, inside info or anything like that. If they change it I will 100% NOT be the first one It has become like a habit of mine in NintendoLife as well.
@Bentleyma It is not as rough as people claim it to be. Sure, it is nowhere near the quality of the home consoles, but I really like weird ports. After all I am huge fan of StarCraft on the N64 SO please do not take my advice too seriously
Fallout 4 - more aimless wandering in the Commonwealth. Resident Evil Revelations 2 - this time on the PS Vita. Currently I am on chapter 1 of the Barry storyline. Half-Life 2 - started a new game with the intention to make a full screenshot journey of my playthrough. Machinarium - I really like the art style of that game! Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist - I will advance a couple of "episodes" in the storyline! Currently I am on season 2.
@hypnotoad Thank you for the question as I have just counted all of my games (out of curiosity) Physical only ofc across all of my platforms Unfortunately not many of the retro console Those are the physical copies (even a collection of 2-3 or more games are counted as 1 if they are on one cartridge/disc)
Nintendo Switch - 208 GameCube - 1 N64 - 6 SNES - 2 Mega Drive - 1 PS1 - 2 PS2 - 3 PS3 - 5 PS4 - 82 PS5 - 7 Xbox - 1 Xbox 360 - 29 Xbox One - 15 PSP - 12 PS Vita - 4 Game Boy - 12 Game Boy Color - 2 GBA - 31 NDS - 24 3DS - 27
I will continue my playthrough of Clive Barker's Undying on the Steam Deck.
I will FINALLY start Baldur's Gate 1!
And for some casual fun I will swing around the city in Spider-Man 2. Even if it is all covered in symbiote sludge it looks safer than its real counterpart
@ShadowofTwilight It is so easy to play because you have the option to disable tank controls. It is awesome! I am sad that RE3 Nemesis do not have this
In RE2 if you press down the character goes down on the screen. Even if you switch screens he/she will continue in the facing direction.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reveal Trailer Is Already the Most Disliked in Series History
Ubi are smart! They thrive on Yasuke's inclusion buzz just to cover up their terrible anti-consumer practices and pricing
Just like their Jedi Outlaws and Frontiers of Pandora.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 529
@Kanji-Tatsumi I have it physically for the PSP
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 529
@freddquadros It is a little cheesy and happy ending, but I love such endings! Not everything has to end with loss and depression
@Kanji-Tatsumi 100% right! I need a couple more retro purchases to fill my CV collection
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 529
@KingPev I liked it. Not as much as the first LoS which as epic and Mirror of Fate
The ones that I consider bad or weird are Judgment, Kid Dracula, Grimoire of Souls and Harmony of Despair.
I am not even going to talk about the slot CV "games".

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Can Be Played Entirely Offline, Once You've Installed It

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Can Be Played Entirely Offline, Once You've Installed It
I see this will get free pass more and more because people are mainly focused on consuming the product than how it is handled and delivered.
The good thing is that I have a backlog to last me for a good lifetime or two and it is not even complete
Re: Physical Version of Assassin's Creed Shadows Needs Online Connection for Installation
I will not stand for it, and this will be the first AC game that I will now get. Same happened with Diablo 4.
I do not want to as for server permission every time I want to install the game.
And I am sure they are doing this just to prevent installation for people who did NOT buy their "play 3 days early" pass. Greedy idiots.
They could've just made the early play for digital version only and distribute the discs on launch day, but NO!
I am hoping for a gaming industry crash and reset after that.
Re: Seasons in Assassin's Creed Shadows Change Gameplay, Setting

I can't get over the fact that the disc will require you to connect to Ubi server in order to install it. And all of that just to sell their play 3 day early pass. Pure greed. This is also the first AC game to do that
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
Ahhh one more thing. The physical disc will require internet connection to install because Ubi wants to sell their "Play 3 day early pass".
So, this is 100% NO buy if they do not change that.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
@pharos_haven Ok, then Assassin's Creed Curry is the name of the game
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
@MidnightDragonDX You are right
Can't wait for Assassin's Creed India where the main protagonist is Mahatma Gandhi (a pacifist) turned into assassin because there is no fun otherwise Also he should eat lots of beef

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 528
@Malaise hah no worries! Being here I kind of want to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey again
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 528
@Malaise I am in Greece now, so no gaming this weekend Have a great gaming weekend!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 527
@Caveman49 Thank you and have a great weekend as well!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 527
After finishing Fallout 4 I am going for Fallout New Vegas
And in the meantime, I will try to do some progress in Sekiro.
As for casual fun Quake 2 and Ocarina of Time will do just fine
Happy gaming to everyone!
Re: THQ Nordic Showcase Adds to This Year's Growing List of Summer Gaming Events

Re: Fallout 4 Next Gen Update Release Times: When Can You Play the New Version?
Looking forward to it as I want to beat the game on my PS5 because the PS4 version WITH Far Harbor is crashing on launch and is unplayable for me.

Re: New PS5 Pro Leak Points to Significant Graphics Push from Sony
The better hardware will only enable lazier dev practices.
We need better games in terms of story and gameplay, not better graphics!
And the irony is that the games will get even worse.
There are only small number of good studios left that make quality games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 524
Fallout 4 - a fresh start inspired by the awesome TV series!
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond - casual continuation of the story. I have not played that for a long time!
Minecraft on the Vita - building a house on the beach and expanding.
Metroid Fusion - wandering around looking for collectables.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: TV Show Review: Fallout - RPG Series Marks Another TV Triumph
Absolutely amazing show!
Re: Fallout TV Series Already Lining Up a Second Season, It Seems
Today I finished the season in one sitting, and it is awesome!
People should not worry
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 523
@Enigk Undying is a masterpiece! It is nothing like Jericho.
On the deck, it works just fine. I am playing the GOG version. It requires a little tinkering with the controls and the resolution but nothing major.

Re: Diablo 4 Season 4 Could Boast the Game's Biggest Improvements So Far
The Diablo series used to be games ... Diablo 4 is not a game it is a service, a really BAD service.
This is the second time I refused to give money to Blizzard. The first one was WarCraft III Reforged.
I hope they lose their player base just like Suicide Squad.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 522
@ShadowofTwilight It is so easy to play because you have the option to disable tank controls. It is awesome! I am sad that RE3 Nemesis do not have this

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 522
@ShadowofTwilight I finished RE2 on the N64 but if I get the chance, I will get it for GC as well
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 522
More Resident Evil 3 Nemesis!
RDR2 in First Person View
Alien Isolation for some "chill" time
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 521
@DrVenture69 thank you!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 521
Studying for next weeks exam BUT ...
Dune 2000 on the Steam Deck. It is really addictive
Continuing with Resident Evil 3 Nemesis after couple of restarts.
Training in Sekiro so I could suck less ...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 520
After the amazing Resident Evil 2 it is time for Resident Evil 3 Nemesis to be conquered!
I will also die many times in Castlevania Rondo of Blood!
And inspired by Dune Part II, I will play Dune II Battle for Arrakis!
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 519
This weekend I will finish Resident Evil 2 (Original). Currently I am in the Umbrella Lab It is so good to play it after the Remake
And I got GTA V so I am starting that as well
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 518
I will be playing Resident Evil 2. The N64 controls are really comfortable as I am not stuck with the classic tank controls
Started another run of Elden Ring thinking about the DLC
Some casual fun in Hollow Knight and some skirmish matches in WarCraft 2
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 517
It will be a casual weekend
I will do some tasks in Spider-Man 2 postgame. Play some Pokemon FireRed. Shoot some baddies in Quake 2 N64.
And finally play as much Ultimate Mortal Kombat as I can This game always put a smile on my face. The nostalgia is huge with this one
Happy gaming!
Re: Upgraded PS5 Pro Planning to Be the Best Place to Play GTA 6
@Bamila Or that some developers reached their limits? I just assume that optimization is not a priority as it will not increase the revenue.
Re: Upgraded PS5 Pro Planning to Be the Best Place to Play GTA 6
If it has the same disc drive "policy" as the "slim" model I will stick with my fat PS5 and just get a nice SSD to put in it
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 516
This weekend I will play Resident Evil VII. I have played the game only once
Finish up Batman Arkham Asylum, I am in Croc's Lair.
And I will try to get used to Resident Evil 3 tank controls again. I have never finished 2 or 3 (the classic ones).
Happy gaming!
Re: Diablo 4's $30 Class-Locked Portal Skins a Fresh Hell for Fans
There is no Diablo game after Diablo 3. Simple as that
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 515
@gaston I wonder if the psvr2 is worth it at all.
