Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 19-20)

Halo Guardians
Dead space remake
FH 4
Patiently waiting for COD campaign Friday.
Stalker 2 and Indy.

Mostly still Diablo 4 and perfecting my fireball sorcerer. While she has already killed everything in the game on torment 4 (current hardest difficulty) I am sure i can squeeze a bit more damage from the build.

I do want to spend a bit of time in Minecraft exploring a mod called Better on Bedrock that adds a whole bunch of different progression options, animations and well just more stuff to see & do.

Had a Just For You offer on Assassin's Creed Origins gold edition, so it I'll be diving back into that and Destiny 2

Another weekend of jumping between TotK end game and Alan Wake 2 ng+ while I'm waiting for Lake House arriving next week.

I’ve got a weird addiction to Age of Empires IV in skirmish mode at the moment. Nearly finished Crysis 2 remastered and will likely play some Forza Motorsport and Grid Legends. All on Series X.

Have a good one everyone.

Silent Hill 2, Mario Party Jamboree, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, Unknown 9 Identity.

Started Lies of P and really liking it so far. I've been wanting to play it for a long time and am worried it'll leave gamepass.

I'll be on elden ring mostly and bit of GTA 5 campaign and that's probably it ha

The Plucky Squire - Im finished and I got the platinum. Overall I enjoyed the game, especially the 3d parts and some fun puzzles but the pacing and over explaining of everything was not great. If we get a sequel I would love for them to improve those things!

Dead Island 2 - Figured I’d give this a fair shot. Its not Dying Light but its pretty fun so far. Will keep playing, at least until some big games start dropping by the end of the month.

Gris - Decided to try it, seems like it could be a nice experience but only just started it. I usually like these kinds of games so high hopes 🙂

I'm feeling super nostalgic so I decided to grab Asterix and Obelix Romastered for a dirt cheap price. It's just as I remember, funny and chaotic lol.

Persona 3 Reload on Series X/ Laptop. Waiting for my Ps5 Pro before continuing Silent Hill and Rebirth

Continuing to resist the Dark Urge in BG3 on Series X. Might give Mechwarrior 5 a go later.

I finished my first playthrough in Silent Hill 2 Remake several days ago. I managed to get the “In Water” ending my first go-around. It was quite fantastic, and easily one of my favorite games of the year, if not my favorite. After I completed it, I subsequently reloaded my save and got the two additional mainline endings, which added a lot of context to a powerful story. I’m looking forward to getting the three remaining endings only obtainable by NG+, and hopefully get the platinum trophy while I’m at it.

I also just started Metaphor: Refantazio two days ago. I’m only seven hours in, reaching the completing the Nord Mines and even tested my mettle against the dragon—an optional boss fight—and won. I’m now met Hulkenberg and am trekking under the cathedral. With that said, being as I’m early on, I’m unable to give a proper review. However; I’m extremely impressed by nearly every aspect of this game.

The one thing that immediately stood out to me was its pacing—it doesn’t waste time throwing you into its world, characters, story and combat. I appreciate this approach more than Persona 5, a game I adore, but can never replay due to its long tutorial.

I also love how much artistic expression there is. In clever ways, too. The game has a ton of loading screens but you’re practically oblivious to it because each transitioning screen has cutscene elements that flow naturally with what you’re doing—combat encounters, walking into a new area, and even the pause menu. This might be the most stylish game I’ve ever played.

I’m looking forward to seeing the game evolve over time. This game is shaping up to be a special JRPG, and I believe Atlus is becoming the king of RPGs in the west. Bring on Persona 6, or whatever else they are cooking up; I’ll be here for the journey.

I finally got to sit down and play Metaphor Refantazio, I’m only an hour in but this game seems like it’ll live up to the hype. I’m also playing Echoes of Wisdom, nearly done with that.

Will continue with Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance this weekend aswell.

I'm near the end of Mass Effect 2 in the Legendary Edition and I'm also playing Massive Chalice which is pretty fun.
I've also bought both Retrorealms games (Halloween and Ash vs The Evil Dead), amazing stuff, but they crash pretty often.

100%’d Far Cry 4. In terms of gameplay, setting, and soundtrack working together to create pure fun, that game is a masterpiece. 3rd time I’ve completed it in 2 years. Wouldn’t recommend going for the collectibles though. 60fps on Series X is great, but wish it was 4k on consoles too.

Gonna revisit Borderlands 2 now for the first time since 2014. And then probably the PreSequel for the first time.

I was very curious to try Survival: Fountain of youth, but from what I read it's not in a good shape on Xbox. That's a shame.
Animal Well maybe then?

GTA Online for the first time in years. Gravel, whatever else I downloaded last night.

Hopefully wrapping up Crestwood in DAI and continuing with the main quest.

Xbox: Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. I'm not liking it so far, but I'll give at least 5h of gameplay before giving up.
Switch: Ni No Kuni. Playing it little by little before sleeping everyday. The art is just fantastic.
PC: X-Men Mutant Apocalypse (Snes via emulation). That's one of those games I've never finished when I was a kid but now it's the time!

Downloaded New World Aeternum last night, so look forward to playing that later today. Also playing Diablo IV Vessel of hatred, and mopping up straggler bots in the brilliant Astro bot.

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´m all about Metaphor ReFantazio on my Series X and Street Fighter 6 on my PS5. Been having a lot of fun online matches with some pretty good players in SF6.
Also, it has been awhile since I´ve been so enamored with a turn based rpg like Metaphor and I do think this will be my game for the next months.
Although, I do want to finish at least one playtrough of both Sillent Hill 2 and Alan Wake 2 as well.
So many good games to play. Gamers are eating good.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

NHL '25 trial, South Park and I wanna play Undisputed but rather wait til it's on sale

I’ll be playing dead space 2 and pumpkin jack. I’ll be picking up Madison and maybe a few others for shocktober sale too

RoboCop: Rogue City. Shot a guy in the penis and got an achievement.

Finished Silent Hill 2 the other day, and impatiently waiting for both Batman: Arkham Shadow and Alan Wake 2: The Lake House DLC.

Ended up playing some of the Half Life 1: Raytraced mod last night, and another level of the Doom: Legacy of Rust EP. Probably will end up just chipping away at those until Tuesday.

Obviously playing Metaphor!

Second run of Silent Hill 2 Remake on PC to get 2-3 more endings, then finally getting around to Resident Evil 2 Remake on Series X (I'm sure I'll play it twice cause Claire and Leon), and some Metaphor Re-Fantazio more on Steam Deck.

Great month for games two of which should be GOTY.

Been playing FC 25 rush mode mystery ball also trying to finish halo infinite and a bit of twilight princess on wii-u and turok 3 a very strange turok game compare to the first two😁

Just finished Like a Dragon the man who erased his name, now started playing Doom Eternal again. Nice that South Park Shattered is on game pass since I can play it on my series S. Just finished Hellsinger on the ps4 after previous finishing the x1 and series versions with game pass. The last trophy I need is the torments but It's glitched and I have to replay the torments until it unlocks.

Crow Country, Ash Vs Evil Dead. I've considered buying RE4R but I'm not sure yet.

Gonna be metaphor re fantazio for me for a long time! Reminds me not just of persona, but of final fantasy 4 and baldurs gate 3.

I was visiting family yesterday, but today is F1 race and Avatar day.
Im really enjoying Avatar and become unexpectedly involved in fighting for the Navi.

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

Started MechWarrior 5 which is pretty good. I've never played one before. Also picked up Killing Time Resurrected. As a lover of the 3do system I just had to get it. And it is great fun.

Hope everyone had a great gaming weekend.

Well here we go with another magnificent WAYP. Been an absolutely cool week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Silent Hill 2 and Star Wars and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Played a brand new simply amazing game known as Metaphor Refantazio. Ain’t put too much time into it but I can already tell from art style and other things that this may just be the GOTY easy I absolutely love it and can’t wait to play more of it. Didn’t game much this weekend outside of some Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and The Plucky Squire but that’s because yep I was in the city again. This time it was for my grandmas belated birthday and it was loads of fun I love NYC and had some great food and great times with her in Chinatown and her apartment but as I was heading home I got to stop at Nintendo NY and got a copy of Super Mario Party Jamboree there. The vibes were immaculate and lovely and I’m very happy and excited to crack into that game on my day off this week probably alongside Sonic X Shadow Generations now that I think on it. This weeks also when Black Ops 6 and Ys X come out too so busy week ehehehe. Thinking the rest of the weekend will be some Metaphor depending on when I get home from the city again. Yes that’s right back to back trips to NYC. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Ace Attorney, Trails Through Daybreak, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario, Bakeru, Dawntrail, Astro Bot, Emio, Star Wars Outlaws, Silent Hill 2, DB Sparking and Visions of Mana. Only wrestling thing this week is that this week I go on Friday to see Friday Night SMACKDOWN live from Brooklyn at the Barclays Center and aside from wanting to get some sweet merch from the merch store there it’s gonna be a double taping meaning I get two shows for the price of one and I’m just so happy and excited for a great time with my friends. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan, Dandadan, Alya, Oshi and Ranma 1/2. Yep as you can see I did add two new shows in Dandadan and Ranma and honestly both are absolutely peak I loved them both so much easily best shows of the year contender right there. 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, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be extremely magnificent to each other. Have a totally magnificent weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
