Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 23-24)

I'm certainly playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
Loving my GamePass
👍😉👍

I'm over 140 hours into Dragon Age: Veilguard, and am very much enjoying it...

I'm gonna give stalker 2 a bit more time to bake before going back I'll be on black ops multiplayer mostly maybe some Spyro reignited to brake it up

Stalker 2 all day & most of the night. Its the stalker franchise turned up to 11 jank included but I am still having fun. Most atmospheric & immersive game I have ever play that will only get better going forward.

We’re playing Kingdom Two Crowns Norselands at the moment in co-op. Last week we played the heavily inspired Monarchy.

Series X: Jumping between Hellblade and Fractured But Whole.
I was supposed to start Flight Sim 24 and Stalker 2 but with launch issues and bugs I have put them both on hold.
PS5: Stellar Blade, hunting down the NieR costumes before starting my 5th NG+. Yes, it's that good!
Switch: I picked up DQ11 on sale. I've played it before on Gamepass but considering how great that game is I just had to do another run. Also, sidequesting TotK.

This weekend I’m playing Dragon Age: Origins for the very first time, thanks to Xbox Series X and Game Pass. Holy smokes—this game is impressive. For context, my first Dragon Age game was Inquisition, subsequently followed up ten years later with Veilguard (both games I love). I even got the platinum for Veilguard. However, now that I’m playing Origins, I can wholeheartedly understand why people consider Veilguard’s writing and characters inferior.

Absolutely Stalker 2. Been a while since I was so hooked on game.

On PS5- Horizon: Forbidden West (on hold- reasons below)
On xCloud- Stalker 2. I hated the first 2 hours or so. It’s rough, but can be a beautiful survival horror game when it works (I’d call it the Dark Souls of fps games). I love the atmosphere and it’s oppressive, unfamiliar and exploration is a blast (sometimes literally if you get hit by an anomaly). In short: everything that Fallout 4 should have been.
On Geforce Now- tried it for the first time. Works beautifully. Decided to test it by playing the first sections of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and now I can’t stop lol.

Not played COD properly since my uni years. I'm now older and slower, but very much enjoying BO6.

Will give stalker and genshin impact a bash this weekend, see if either sticks. Joys of Gamepass!

I really would like to get started on Stalker 2 - it’s all installed and ready to go - but I am deep into Veilguard now and am going to finish that before I play anything else, so I’ll probably wait for my Christmas fortnight before I head into the zone. I have to say, I’ve enjoyed Veilguard as much as I have any DA game.

More Halo 2 for me. I missed this one first time round as I was too busy ruining my liver in some student union bar and was only able to see a little in action on my mate’s Xbox. I have to say it holds up pretty well and after a little rewiring of my gaming brain I’m having a lot of fun. Happy gaming everyone 👍

Jumping back into Diablo 2 resurrected, as I find it a lot better than Diablo 4, which I haven't gone back to for a while

I thought it would be Stalker 2 and Flight Sim but I’m giving both more time to cook.

Series X - Forza Horizon 4 and PGA Tour
PS5Pro - Uncharted 4 and Wipeout Omega Collection

Have a good one everyone.

Flight sim 24 and black ops 6

I might start assassins creed Mirage if I can pull myself away from my aircraft. I am obsessed with flight sim.

@Fiendish-Beaver what do you enjoy about it in particular? Not a fan, but always interested to know this.

The 4/10 game Stalker 2 and loving It 😎 On Series X and PC
Forbidden West on PS5

@Fiendish-Beaver You're iconic for that! Who's your favorite companion if I may ask lol? I already finished my first playthrough of 60 hours and I'm planning to start a new game very soon.

Dragon age on PS5 Pro and probably will get Star Wars outlaws now the update has arrived, also on PS5 Pro as the best place to play third party titles now.
That used to be the Xbox one x and series x.
But Microsoft have even taken that away from Xbox now with no PS5 Pro equivalent.

Microsoft could not kill off a console brand if they tried any harder, sorry but I really do hate Microsoft.

Metal Slug Tactics on Gamepass and Mario & Luigi

Sorting the last bits of the season on The First Descendant and have been really enjoying Genshin Impact.........may have another little try at Stalker 2 mood allowing.

Wrapped up my first playthrough of Dragon Age The Veilguard. Right now I'm enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of Harmony: The Fall of Reverie. If you're a fan of LiS or Detroit Become Human, this indie gem is for you!

Stalker 2, Death Stranding, Genshin Impact.....so many games.....so much walking....

Stalker 2, Death Stranding, and likely some Fallout 4. I'm clearly in a very post-apocalyptical type of mood. Might also start a run of Elden Ring.

I will probably switch between Flight sim 24 and total frustration because of playing flight sim 24 ..

Amazing game , great step up IF ( and that is a HUGE IF ) everything works and in 8 out of 10 times it just does not. Nevertheless , I keep playing it.

At the moment, almost all my gaming time is going into Sea of Thieves. Although Rare are doing everything in their power to mess the game up, I am still utterly addicted to it as I try to get the 100% Completion on it. I am also mixing in some Alan Wake 2!

Last night I bought Sorry We're Closed and planning on firing that up today. Looks like it could be just the game I need right now.

I'm doing a Renegade run on Mass Effect 1, still some Ode to Castlevania in Vampire Survivors and just started Romancelvania which I'm enjoying but it desperately needs a map.
Tried again to play Bloodstained but it doesn't click with me. I don't know why. I love Castlevania which that games is in all but name, even has Yamane's music, but still...
I'll keep trying later. I have a feeling once it hooks me I'll love it.

Going to dip back into STALKER 2 this afternoon to see if I’m feeling it more than before. If not then it’ll be back to DA Inquisition or Witcher 3 tomo night.

Was hoping to get access to Veilguard on EA Play Pro but found out yesterday that it’s only for PC users.

Continuing my first playthrough of Lies of P. Great game. The atmosphere is amazing. I usually only play one game at a time but once I finish this definitely stalker 2

Bought the Brotato DLC and enjoying that very much as I have only level 4 and 5 left in the main game… downloaded Genshin Impact to see if I like it… if not then back the PGA 23

Gotham Knights - It's not as good as the Arkham games, but there's a lot of fun to be had nonetheless.

Faith: The Unholy Trinity - Don't let the retro sound and visuals fool you, this is an excellent game with a lot of thought behind it. Genuinely unsettling.

Also going to have a look at the Castlevania Collection that was free with Epic Store.

This weekend I'm playing Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake on Switch after having beaten Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door earlier this week.
Will also play Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 with a friend tomorrow, on Switch.
