Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 11-12)

On PS5 I'm playing DA Veilguard about 35 hours in and I'm enjoying it more than i thought i would I've also started Visions of Mana and playing a bit of FC 25. On Xbox still playing Black Ops 6 and need to get back to Indiana jones.

I've finished the original Final Fantasy VII for the first time (wonderful, although the last battle against Sephiroth was a tough one) and started playing Mafia.

Just started Indiana Jones.

Still Stalking the Zone on Series X, still having a great time. If you’ve been holding off playing after the launch because of the bugs, I’d say you’re good to go now. I haven’t noticed any problems.

Managed to get quite a bit of game time since last week 😊

Jusant - Finished it, what an epic journey. Really enjoyed it, so much so I got the platinum.

Cocoon - Got reminded in EGs game of 2024 list that I had started but for some reason not finished EGs GOTY for 2023. Really cool game, it did fry my brain with some of the puzzles so I had to use a guide at some points. Very clever and very good game 😊

Spider-man 2 - Doing a ng+ and Im enjoying it, amazing (😊) game. Some of the main missions are just superb. Playing it on fidelity pro 40 fps and it looks so, so good. Usually prefer 60 fps but finally having a TV supporting this mode makes it my new favorite, perfect mix between quality and performance.

The Stanley parable - Fun little game, nice dry humour. Need to get the platinum for this, its an interesting list but that one trophy that requires you to play for a full Tuesday is going to be a bitch however its done 😅

Star Wars: Tales from the galaxys edge VR - its “free” on plus, might as well play it. Just an hour or two in, its mediocre so far but shooting lasers if still fun and its Star Wars so I´ll play some more 😊

On Series X its still mostly Minecraft & building up my new settlement infrastructure.

I did briefly dip into Forza Motorsport but the multiplayer racing is just not it & no one cares about racing properly. I have had cleaner races playing online in Wreckfest. I like everything about Motorsport but I am there for multiplayer & the wheels have fallen off completely as far as I am concerned.

As I result I dusted off my PS5 (literally) & booted up GT7. While I have seen a few idiots most folks seem to make more effort to keep it clean. A much better multiplayer experience and its been fun so I expect I will be doing some more races over the weekend.

Discovring hockey with NHL 23 alongside with doom 2016

Finally started Indiana Jones and I'm loving it such a good game!
Also started the road 96 and it's really good so far very relaxing to play happy weekend peoples!

Trying to play Minecraft dungeons with my son who plays on switch, can't figure out how to play together, so it'll be lost of the weekend figuring that out and Test Drive Solar Crown, which is meh.

I went back to the PS4 to play some of those games that never made it to Xbox.
Since the new Atelier IS going to be on Xbox, I'm playing Atelier Rorona.

And also the last Like a Dragon game I have left... Or well, kinda: Fist of the Notth Star: Lost Paradise.
The connection it's more obvious in Japanese since it's called Hokuto Ga Gotoku.

I've also finished Metaphor ReFantazio which was really really good. Top 5 Atlus' games for me.

Dead Space on Series X and Horizon: Call of the Mountain on PS VR2.

I really want to finish Indiana Jones this week. I've 100% everything so far (currently on Sukhothai). I'll probably finish it this weekend or next.

Marvel Rivals - not massively original but really enjoying it and recommend it as a F2P.

Looking for something fantasy related on Gamepass preferably so will trawl through that, had started Atlas Fallen but couldn't get on with it.

I’ve finally succumbed to Spider-Man 2’s charms and invested some real time into it, it’s great fair play. On Xbox I’ll be finishing up Gizeh in Indy if I get the time.

Craig wins my staffer of the week, well done on GotG (get them thoughts in the game club thread 😉) and Disco Elysium is an all timer, excellent choices

Have a great weekend everyone 👍

The same two games I’ve been playing on Series X as of late. Dead Rising Remaster Deluxe and Disney Dreamlight Valley.

This weekend I will mainly be playing Black Myth: Wukong, Cassette Beasts and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, Planet of Lana and some Halo Infinite mp.

DQIII HD2D on switch
Visions of Mana and WWE 2k24 on xbox

Still Indiana Jones - only playing on weekends so I can afford a decent chunk of hours for maximum immersion! I also started a second run on Alien Isolation only this time with the VR mod. Lots of toilet paper at the ready.

Road 96 and trying to complete Escape Academy will take up most of my weekend…. Weirdly also enjoying Merge & Blade again - feels like a mobile game but has some depth …

Nine sols. Just picked it back up. Fun metroidvania if anyone is looking for something to bide the time for hollowknight silksong

Still playing Star Wars on PS5 pro, along with Rock Band 4 and Gotham Knights. All surprisingly good times!
Series X has been in rest mode since I found out Indiana Jones makes me ill, but I'm really hopeful for Avowed soon, and I've deleted my previous Forza Horizon 4 saves ready to play through that title again - it's the king of carpg titles for me and worth multiple replays.

Whatever you are playing this weekend, I hope you have fun!

I started Road 96 last night, and some Steamworld Heist 2 this morning. Probably continue a little of both through the weekend

@Pac_Bot same started great. Hope wlll tie me over then ready for avowed next mont

@Titntin try running Indy in wide-screen instead of cinematic. You lose a little of the frame each side but doesn't affect gameplay at all. Stops that 'motion sickness ' feeling.

Microsoft Wordament (Android) - Adventure mode and Dailies as usual.

Gravity Guy (Windows Phone) - I'm still enjoying this here and there.

iStunt 2 (Windows Phone) - I'm finally at the end! Can soon delete and move onto the next WP game.

didnt people play Road 96 the first time it was on gamepass

@trev666
I did.
I even 100%ed it.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Lego Marvel 1

Well here we go with another awesome WAYP. The week was some new games and some of the GOTY hunt again. Trails Through Daybreak, Emio and Metaphor with some Mario and Luigi and WWE2K24. Got to start that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. Honestly it’s a little disappointing story wise being so bare bones but the artstyle is just so charming it makes me wanna play more and more and more. Most of the weekend was spent with Yakuza Kiwami and Spy X Anya Operation Memories. Yakuza Kiwami is honestly just a good comfort game especially on the switch now and I love doing small side stuff and the Majima Everywhere system. And with Spy X Anya it’s a game that honestly may not have reviewed too well but is just cute as a button it’s genuine Spy X Family goodness from top to bottom I love it. It’s not the best I’ll admit but I love it. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some Trails Through Daybreak as like Alana I wanna destroy it before the sequel comes out. As well as maybe some Marvel Rivals or YS Memoire The Oath in Felghana or even maybe some of the story mode not the showcase mode of WWE2K24. Maybe even some Fantasian Neo Dimension. Lots to play but no idea what to pick ahahaha. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Trails Through Daybreak, Emio, Dawntrail, Metaphor, YS, Mario and Luigi Brothership, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and WWE 2K24. Try to start Wuthering Waves too. Preordered Tales of Graces F Remastered, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Dynasty Warriors Origins, Trails Through Daybreak 2, Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Monster Hunter Wilds. Very excited to pick up all of those. And I did some trades and got money for the first battle pass of Marvel Rivals, Spy X Anya, and YS. The wrestling thing this week being more of WWE on Netflix. This first week of it was basically just oh look how cool we are. So hopefully this second week is much more yeah storylines and of course the debut of Penta. Anime of the week gotta go to Dragon Ball Daima and Shangri La Frontier and Yakuza Fiancé and Ron Kaminohashis Forbidden Deductions and Ranma 1/2. Finished off Ranma and it’s a really cute show really solid one of my favorites easy. Now we gotta focus on the picks for Winter dunno what we’ll do with those. 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, Weapon Wheel Podcast and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be cool to each other. Have a totally awesome weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

I had a chill weekend just gone. I gave BlackOps 6 and SW Battlefront 2 a rest and chilled with Balatro on my Switch, it's super addictive.
