Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 17-18)

@FraserG
Lol, my father once had a tennis elbow This title got passed by me somehow. I will investigate!
Does @FraserG have any thoughts on it or is there a review coming to Xbox Pure?

Halo Infinite campaign

Madden 25

I just finished my third playthrough of Stellar Blade. Still missing a couple costumes, I'll have to look them up but I wont do another run yet.
I'm stuck on BG3 and I can't be bothered to deal with it now.
I did buy Forza 4 Ultimate so I might just do some races or something.
I'm really looking forward to Dragon Age Veilguard. That will most likely be my next new game.

My gaming goal this weekend is to beat 3 games.
1) Finish off Doom: Legacy of Rust. This has been pretty great so far. The new enemies are interesting, and the flamethrower is a great addition. 3 levels left.
2) Tacoma. I wasn't the biggest fan of Gone Home, but this game looks like it will be a lot better.
3) Norwood Suite. Last week I played the prologue, and it was bonkers. Hoping the full game will be a little more engaging gameplay-wise.

I started Dungeons of Hindenburg and Journey to the Savage Planet. Got to 80% on Brotato and need to check out the free update to Vampire Survivors… have a gaming weekend!

I am having a racing weekend.

So it will be some combination of multiplayer racing in Forza Motorsport on series x and Gran Turismo 7 of PS5.

Also a couple of racing streamers I enjoy watching are taking part in a 24 hour race at Le Mans in iracing so will be keeping half an eye on that too

Making my way through Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, this game is going to take me a very long time to get through. For every story beat I get through there are 100 fun distractions.

Attempting to complete the Gorod Krovi Easter egg in black ops 3.

I'll jump on a bit of the new doom remaster enjoying playing it again and I'll probably jump on some ea FC and trials rising happy weekend!

Xbox - gears 4 (replay) and MW3
Ps5 - medival
Switch - xenoblade 2
Pc - borderlands 2 (replay)

Gears 4 has been flawless streaming on an Amazon fire stick.

Same as last weekend, Trails of Cold Steel IV.
I'm in the final stretch of the game now, finally.

Finishing off Mafia on Gamepass. Excellent game, despite some clunky mechanics and irritating difficulty spikes. Well worth the 10 hour or so runtime.

I've been in a DOOM mood (lol) recently, so I'm replaying 2016 on my Steam Deck and I'll also play Legacy Of Rust there.
On Xbox I'll certainly play The Finals, I'm basically addicted to that game lol

I (think I) have 2 dungeons left in Dungeons of Hinterberg, so I should have that finished this weekend. It's been one of my favourite games in a while. Heartily recommended.

After finishing Watchdogs 2 and thinking it was okay, I'm really really enjoying Watchdogs Legion. Underrated game I'd say. Being able to recruit anyone makes it really interesting and looking for the right person for your team is fun. You can even customize the appearance and clothes of everyone. Really surprised, in a good way.

I just got the 1000G in Resident Evil 3, now I'm going for Hollow Knight

Just finished Halo Infinite and started The stick of truth lol
Playing Dungeons of Hinterberg as well which i find pvery cool

I’ve been getting on with 7 Days to Die. I finally acquired the ability to craft a mini motorcycle! On the downside, I managed to spoil a long run of staying alive by accidentally falling off the ranger tower I was defending on a blood moon night.☹️

Dead Island 2 & Resident Evil 5. Maybe the Mafia 1 remake

I've been focusing on Stellar Blade and I really, really enjoy this game. Looks and plays great, the story is good enough to keep me interested, love the soundtrack and some side missions are good. Think Im about one third in, doing everything. The game isnt perfect, but very fun so I can overlook some things... my only complaint is that there are too many ***** collectibles, and thats just because I want the Platinum trophy 😅

Today Matthew... I have been playing

Vampire Survivors
Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light

Pimp My Ride on the 360.

Tennis elbow 4 that game name amuses me lol baldurs gate 3 and alan wake 2 for me both are amazing

After beating the Halo 3 campaign last week, I decided to take a quick break and play Botany Manor. It was short, so I finished it on Friday. Now I'm starting up Halo Wars

Diablo 4. Slogging through the campaign and enjoying it.
Wukon is coming on Tuesday, so as long as it performs well on ps5, Im there!
Whatever you guys are playing, I hope you have fun 😊

I'm playing Mafia and asking why I never have played it before. Great fun, and I love the setting. Also playing some Forza Motorsport.

Well here we go with another wild WAYP. Been an exciting week around here. On the Switch I made it through most of my favorite chapter of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door: Chapter 3 where I got a blue Yoshi which made me very happy. I think it’s just the vibes of the Glitz Pit that make it my favorite. Also made it to the last world in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble. Excited to wrap that one up. Also got that physical copy of Sea of Stars I mentioned before and I honestly kinda love it all over again. Otherwise I made it to the endgame of both Persona 3 Reload and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and I’m quite happy there. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend. If planned out right I could beat both it and FFVII Rebirth by next weeks journal. Wish me luck ahahaha. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Paper Mario, more P3R, Trails Through Daybreak, FFVII Rebirth, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Dragons Dogma 2, Sea of Stars and maybe trying to beat Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind before Emio releases later this month. It’s gonna be next week when all the preorders start rolling in like Star Wars Outlaws and Visions of Mana but I already got one preorder coming in this week with Concord. Genuinely kinda excited for that one as I enjoyed the beta. Also got preorders in this week on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and Lollipop Chainsaw RePop so September will be very zombie filled ahahaha. Oh and I’ll get The Plucky Squire for free off of PS Plus so I’m also super hype on that. Almost bit on a preorder for Dragon Age The Veilguard butttttttt nah. Getting super hype for WWE Bash In Berlin too that’s gonna be kinda cool. I seriously can’t wait for Kevin Vs Cody, Rhea and Damian Vs Liv and Dirty Dom and GUNTHER Vs Randy Orten. Gonna say it’s a solid B Tier PLE. Anime of the week gotta go to Delicious in Dungeon. Yeah it’s the only one I watched this week but I also finished it and I can’t wait for more. Think I’m gonna get the box set so I can own all of the manga. Special shoutout to Emily in Paris on Netflix tho it just got a new season and after I figure out how to incorporate watching NXT alongside RAW and SMACKDOWN to complete my WWE collection you could say I think I’ll dive into Season 3 of Emily since that’s where I left off and catch up. Such a cute comfort show. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be magnificent to each other. Have a fantastic weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

Fortnite with the wife. Nintendo Land with the wife on Wii U

I just finished Flintlock: Siege of Dawn, which I quite liked. Now it's time for Dungeons of Hinterberg. Two hours in and I'm loving it!
