Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 22-23)

Will try to wrap up Mass Effect Andromeda this weekend and I also finished up Steins;Gate 0 yesterday. Might throw in some Fez here and there as well since it's such a relaxing game to play. Great smaller title to play in between all the big ones!

Hitman trilogy for me , I've owned 1 and 2 for ages but never got round to them ,now is the time

On PS5 I'm playing NEO the world ends with you and I'm liking it so far. Will also give Baldo another try since it's been updated. I do have a few new games I bought in the sale but honestly I'm holding off playing them as I know there's 5 new games I want in January for the ps5.
Edge of Eternity
Horizon Forbidden West
Monark
Atelier Sophie 2
Elden Ring

On nintendo switch I've just got to the elite 4 on brilliant diamond, want to complete the game before Arceus legend's comes out, I will also continue with fire emblem warriors, not too sure I like it yet but I'm still tempted to get the dlc (mainly for tharja and azura)

On xbox I will play some more forza horizon 5 and I might continue with Nier Automata, put about 8 hours into last year then totally forgot about it until today.

On a side note, my gamepass subscription is ending on the 10th February, now xbox isn't my main platform so I don't really care about achievements so I was thinking of starting a new account as I can't afford a year's of gamepass ultimate yet, is there any promotions still running?

Also is it like playstation plus as other accounts on the same system can play the main accounts downlaod ps games, So if I add a second account on the series S with gamepass ultimate can I still use my original account that's also on the series S to play the games even though that account doesn't have gamepass ultimate?

Hope that makes sense lol

I'm playing some Crash 3 and some Bowser's Fury..

SWITCH
Banjo-Kazooie (N64 Online) - one of my favourite N64 games, so definitely starting this one again!

Overwatch - haven't played this in ages, I'm preparing to take a beating in multiplayer lmao.

PC
God of War - continuing through this amazing game this weekend!

GTA Online - as usual, multiplayer with friends tonight.

Have a good weekend, everyone.

@UltimateOtaku91 wait for your game pass to run out ,buy 3 X 12 month Turkish gold from cdkeys.com , redeem via free VPN then pay one month ( if you have already used the £1 offer before ) to covert to ultimate ,depending what price the gold is you will pay approx £65 to 75 for 3 years , and yes you can as long as the console is set to the other accounts home console any other account can on that console can play whatever games are on that console

Plugging away at FFII still. It's been an enjoyable experience, but these NES-generation JRPGs are such a slog, even with modern quality-of-life improvements. Haven't decided on which game yet, but planning on throwing in a fighter I have in my physical backlog. Either Dragon Ball FighterZ or Mortal Kombat XL.

@UltimateOtaku91
I don't know if it just like on the PS5, but yes, you can share Game Pass using "gameshare" on the Xbox. I too currently have a Series X and a Series S. My wife primarily plays in the game room using her account on a smaller tv with the Series S. All purchases, including Game Pass are done through my account on the Series X. I can confirm, she has full access to all the GP titles. You will have to make the other console your "home console" however, so just be aware of that because Microsoft allows you to switch home consoles only a limited amount of times a year.

I've had a extremely busy week and got busy Saturday. I will try and make time for Doom 2016. I'm still only half way through the game. Really need to finish it so that I can start Nobody Saves the World and Hitman.

I am in the prosess of playing through Metroid Dread for the second time and i am enjoying the game more than this time around, i was a little frustrated by the E.M.M.I's ( Robot enemies ) mostly besause i was to impatient.

I also think i will play some Call of duty: Vanguard multiplayer, i am working my way up to get Petrova and i think i have around 140 kills out of 200 with a sniper now 👍

And maybe if i am not to lazy i will also play some Ring Fit Adventure.

Rainbow Six Extraction and hopefully I can enjoy watching United lose to West Ham this weekend. Would be be so delightful

Hopefully finally finishing Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time this weekend.

Other than that I’m in the playing Halo Infinite for fun part of the week. BP completed weeks ago, event complete, weekly complete. Zero stakes just enjoying the game. Which means no Fiesta or FFA.

Death's Door. I'm about 1/3 of the way through and it's pretty good so far. It's not exactly god's gift to gaming like some people were making it out to be, but it's pretty good.

Dysmantle is my go-to game right now. Also playing AC Valhalla (Siege of Paris dlc), Days gone (NG+) and will probably try out Windjammers 2 online, though need a bit more practice offline first!

Got Binary Domain, Timesplitters, Asura's Wrath, Sonic Generations on the backwards compatibility sale and also Death's Door and Silent Hill 3 to continue

I tried extraction on game pass, I figured I wasn't going to love it and I was right, still that's part of the charm of game pass, my curiosity can be treated for free.
Nobody saves the world on the other hand I expected to love and so far I am. Looking like another hit from drink box.
I'll also give Tetris 99 a spin with the arceus event on, got a online trial ready to use.

Nearly finished my legendary all skulls run on Halo. Not gonna lie, I have cheesed it with the tank gun but it has still been a good challenge. After that I'm torn between Deaths Door or Nobody Saves the World.

Started ME:LE last weekend but forgot how much of a slog the first game is. Need to motivate myself to finish it so I can play the others.

I beat Astral Chain this morning and while I'm certain I didn't get the best ending, I loved it. Also, Tetris 99. I want that Arceus theme!

On XSX, played some Halo 5 today and a little Arkham Knight. Might play more of both, not sure.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend!

Mikulogic S and Grow Song of the Evertree.
Rocket League.

Playing Batman Arkham Asylum for the first time ever. It still holds up pretty well.
I'm also playing deaths door 2hrs in, it's fine so fine...
Bought hitman 3 weeks ago(great timing right?) I don't want to start it until my new 4k tv arrives, when it does ,that's all I'm gonna be playing:)

I picked up one of the tb expansions for my series x so I went nuts on gamepass and downloaded a bunch of random things to try. Hitman, Conan exiles, mortal shell, dragon age inquisition and control. Also my nieces and nephews came to stay the weekend and brought an oculus 2 so we were playing beat Sabre.

I watched credits roll on Donut County and Warhammer Chaosbane yesterday. Both are pretty good. I ran through the 4 acts of the main Chaosbane campaign as a witch hunter with a totally broken ranged build. Much better than Diablo 2 Remastered.

@IronMan30 how long did it take you to make it through Astral Chain? That one’s been in my backlog for years now, high time to knock it off maybe

@Nightcrawler71 seen that one on the store. Ratings and reviews are glowing. Having a good time?

@Alduin a you could probably make a full run on Deaths Door, if that helps out at all. Pretty short at around 8-9 hours

Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) - This is starting to get really good!

Mahjong by Microsoft (Android) - Dailies and puzzle packs as usual.

Ridiculous Marathon (Windows Phone) - Just starting out on this one.

On Series S: Sonic Generations with my daughter
On PS4: Horizon Zero Dawn (in preparation for HFW).
Happy gaming guys!

@Dusk_Actual 20 hours and I didn't even play more than 2 hours at a time. It felt very fast, partly because it's a great game.

@Dusk_Actual Yes, really enjoying it. It has quite an addictive gameplay loop which you can easily lose hours to! Well worth £15

Danganronpa. You can relax and get scared. An old but good Japanese game.

Wind Jammers 2 and Halo Infinite

@ParsnipHero after finishing the Bp I uninstalled…it was keeping me from other games.

The mp is just so damned good.

Titanfall 2 campaign

4 Kings casino
Fortnite
Bloody Rally Race
Zombie army 1

Continued playing A Way Out with my online coop buddy, want to try Rainbow Six as well, despite the reviews.

@Dusk_Actual I could see that. I usually play pretty intense Tuesday-Friday to complete the weekly after that I hardly play and usually play other games.

Had a quick go on windjammers 2 and it could do with a proper tutorial mode to help you practice or work out how to do things without having to go back to the menu screen and scroll through a load of screens. Kinda put me off it a bit.
Also played a bit of Mass Effect. Never connected with it much in the past but I quite enjoyed the first 45 mins or so. Better shooter than I remembered it being. Possibly because I’ve not played a lot of shooters lately.

Made a run through some of the gamepass additions over the weekend. Windjammers 2 is a gem and will def. be our go to family game for a good while, very addicting. Tried to get into Hitman again but I think those games just aren't for me. Played a few hours of Rainbow Six Extraction and promptly deleted it, pretty lackluster but thank goodness for Gamepass!

I played some more of Control. I managed to finish the main story, and now I'm into the DLC missions, and side quests. Very enjoyable game, and I hope we get more games set in this world. The X-Files/Warehouse 13/SCP vibe is really compelling. Also looked into getting a "Bureau of Control" mug, but they don't ship to the UK (also they're a different colour to the ones in game??)

I also downloaded Pupperazzi, but didn't get a chance to play it. I instead played Sea of Thieves with some friends. Got some nice Devil's Roar voyages in.
