Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 16-17)

Switch: Playing metroid dread.
Xbox: Fifa 21 with friends and maybe trying pubg.
Phone: Jumped back in to clash royale because my friends are playing it

Forza Horizon 4 and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow through the wonderful Castlevania Advance Collection.

Im playing a bunch of things this weeked across all main consoles.

Xbox 1: Back 4 Blood, Far Cry 6, and because i'm independent and have a mind of my own i will be checking out The Good Life

Ps4: Life is Strange True Colors, Dying Light in prep for Dying Light 2,

Switch: Metroid Dread and Bayonetta

Had a blast playing Back 4 Blood with the guys last night.

Also just reached the final boss in Metroid Dread and will likely finish that off later today.

I'll probably end up finishing off Doom VFR as well and maybe going through Batman Arkham VR. I just got a great deal on an Oculus Quest 2 in anticipation for RE4 VR and have been catching up on some of the VR games I've been missing out on.

Just completed monster hunter stories 2 on switch so now I can start the world ends with you neo

On ps5 I bought Godfall to give a try and continue playing tales of Arise

I might buy house of ashes on xbox later but might save it for Halloween as the misses likes watching me play horror games

Will be playing Psychonauts 2, Superliminal and DOOM 64 on Xbox One, Team Sonic Racing on PS4 and Metroid Dread on Switch.

I'm nearing the end of Psychonauts 2 so I'm hoping that I'll be able to wrap it up this weekend. On the side, I'll be going through Superliminal, which is a brilliant puzzle game, and resuming my playthrough of DOOM 64. For some reason, I just haven't been in the mood to play DOOM 64 every time I've started it up. But now I'm enjoying it a lot, it's a great game and hopefully I can finish it up soon.

I might also start up other titles on Game Pass, such as Visage since I'm now done with The Evil Within and need another horror game to play.

I was actually playing ni no kuni 2 on the ps5 and castlevania on the switch but got surprised with an Xbox Series X and ultimate gamepass yesterday so I started playing halo 1.

Besides that I installed bug fables, carrion, dead cells and some other games I’ve wanted to play for a while now.

Playing Sable. It’s a phenomenal game, it’s been patched and runs fairly well now, still not perfect but it was horrible at launch. Could be my GOTY I’m really enjoying it.

After some initial reservations, I’ve really got into Far Cry 6 (XSX). Easily a game I can sink an entire afternoon/evening into. Also playing Hot Wheels Unleashed. On my PS5 I’m playing Death Stranding (DC) which I’m loving.

Finishing up Scarlet Nexus, which should be at some point today. Then onto The Medium since I've kept putting it off since it came out, and I want to play at least one horror game this month.

Ori and The Blind Forest.

If I'm not playing MCC, then it's Psychonauts 2. I've never played the first one but I'm really enjoying number 2. I may even give Splitgate a try as well. Have a great weekend everyone.

I'm currently playing Ryse: Son of Rome

Just finished Avengers main story and now going back to finish Halo 4 as well as picking up a few more achievements in Forza Horizon 4

I'm going to jump into back for blood to get the monthly quest and the 250 point punchcard done. If i like it I'll keep it around.

Might get some more time into FH4 as I'm almost "done" the game...at least enough that I'll personally feel like I've completed it and will be ready for FH5.

Lastly it's very unlikely but if i have enough time I'll jump back into Halo 4 and maybe buy some of that new armour from season 8 if i have enough points.

Have a great weekend folks!

@Pringlefish Ori was an amazing game. Still haven't tried will of the wisps but BF still is one of the best games I've played do far.

Oh man, juggling a lot of games this month.
Good life, Tenchu Z, Harry Potter half blood Prince (loving the potion making) back 4 blood, TABS, Batman tell tell series, and Alan Wake.

@UltimateOtaku91 My wife is the same, ahha, for her it's like watching a horror movie. For me, it's an intense nerve rattling experience (I'm a whimp for horror games, yet can't stop playing them)

@Chaudy Graphically still holds up, I had a lot of fun playing it. Enjoyed the story too 😊

@FriendlyOctopus yeah I'm really enjoying the playthrough as well. It's a nice game.

The Walking Dead (Switch) - Playing the first season. I'm close to finishing episode two. I love playing this during Halloween!

Equalicious (Windows Phone) - On the final stretch now!

Rayman Fiesta Run (Windows Phone) - Also rounding around to the final stretch of this game as well.

I'm playing Tom Clancy's The Division..

Back4Blood with my mates on a pretty frequent basis.

Phoenix Point when I get the chance to play on my tod.

Championship Snooker at my neighbours house later tonight whilst consuming way too many Stellas...

I'm currently juggling Disco Elysium, Sable and Flight Sim. Three very cool, chilled out games. Hopefully I get to spend most of the weekend on them.

I'm currently playing through Outriders, always revisit it for a fee chapters every now and then since launch. Still haven't played through it entirely. Also playing some Back 4 Blood and DOOM Eternal which I am also still playing through on Nightmare mode. If I wasn't such a fan of constant getting game over screens, I probably would've beat them months ago

I am havin a blast playing Shadow of War. I'm glad i gave this game a 2nd chance.

On Xbox One X I picked up Split/Second on whim. I played it a long time ago but put it down for other games. But now I’m hooked! Also downloaded Sable and Ori and the Blind Forest off game pass. So that’s what I’ll jump into next. Have a great weekend!

I’m still playing Immortal Fenyx Rising which is turning out to be a lot of fun. I’ve freed Aphrodite and just started working on Athena. It’s been fun exploring and finding the puzzle parts.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Really hoped play Back 4 Blood. Matchmaking is either broken or slow as heck. First time tried only got 1 player. Next day sat for over 10 mins or more every time to never get full game.

This is very thing that ruined borderlands 3 as well. Jank, broken, terrible matchmaking.

Glad didn't buy back 4 blood.

@Bmartin001 the first one and Div2 both had their hooks in me for a long time. I had to swear off live service games because of this franchise and Destiny. Good times but jeez the time sink….

I ended up buying the Metro Exodus expansion pass for 6 bucks on this weeks GWG sale. Really looking forward to checking it out. I’ve also been going through random quick plays with pub players in Back 4 Blood. It’s a good time when the team sticks together….the Rookie difficulty is absolutely brutal after the first act though if you don’t stick together. Also, the bots (while not what I’d call fully competent) do more or less what they’re supposed to do. They shot Ridden when I needed them to and healed me when I needed them to. YMMV.
Also: wishing I had picked up Metroid Dread, but being as I’ve never played a Metroid game it’s probably better to start with what I have, ie Super Metroid.
