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

I'm finishing spyro 😀

Will be playing Last Stop, Visage and Quake on Xbox One, Shenmue II on PS4, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on Xbox 360 and Metroid Prime 2 on Wii U. Lots of different games this weekend!

shadow of war and recently purchased resident evil 2, I might start it today

The Medium. Having a solid time with it so far, but I also do see why it wasn't rated as highly as some of us had hoped it would be. A bit too "scripted" sometimes with things only appearing after you do something, along with basic actions only after you do something else before then, but I'm still enjoying it.

It does make me wish I had headphones for more immersion, but oh well. I can still tell that audio is the game's biggest strength.

I started working my way through The Master Chief Collection on legendary ready for infinite's release!

Has there ever been a better value bundle than the MCC???

This weekend i'll be playing through theses games on multiple systems.

Ps4: Life is Strange: True Colours and Kena Bridge of Spirits
Xbox 1: Marvel Avengers and Far Cry 6
Switch: Metrriod Dread and Ender lilies Quietus of the Knight

I finished Kena this weekend and moved back to Deathloop. When I beat that it’ll be Halo to prep for Infinite.

Lost Judgement 😋 really really really hooked. Like stupidly hooked. Which is annoying because I want to play Walking dead final season, Tenchu Z, and the good life, but this game is just too fun.

I'm dying of fun over here

Switch: Metroid Dread, haven't rage quitted this much in a while.
Series S: Back4Blood, my favourite co-op. Having a lot of fun with this one.
PS5: Finally got my hands on one (wooo). I upgraded Death Stranding to Directors Cut and I love being back in that world.

Have a good weekend everybody.

Resident Evil 4 VR. Almost halfway through. Truly awesome. The cutscenes remaining 2D and certain animations like kicking, pushing bookcases, and dying popping out to 3rd person is pretty weird, but experiencing such a great game like this from a totally new perspective is really cool. Dual-weilding the knife and hand gun, and also being able to move and shoot at the same time makes most of the combat pretty easy. At the same time, it is really fun to just circle-strafe el gigante out of his misery for example.

Also started Visage last night. It's extremely creepy and actually pretty scary... until it isn't, because it quickly and often devolves into running around in circles trying to figure out what to do next, hoping to find the one interactable thing that hasn't been clicked on yet, completely breaking immersion and losing all built up tension. It's like a 3D point-and-click walking sim, and there's really nothing guiding or motivating to progress the game except maybe morbid curiosity. I don't know, I played for maybe 90 minutes and alternated back and forth between being terrified and bored out of my mind. I'll give it another chance, but I'm fairly disappointed so far.

Probably some Back 4 Blood tonight with the guys.

I keep bouncing between games. Can’t really find anything that’s fully grabbing my attention. I started SW Squadrons but got board. I restarted Gears 5 for another play through. It’s still an amazing looking and playing game but it’s just not what I’m looking for right now. I’ve got Forza Horizon 5 pre installed, maybe I’ll just take a gaming break until it drops.

Far cry 6 and Psychonauts 2
Xbox series x.

Does anyone know if the update for Xbox one especially elite 2 controllers got released to the general public, its was released to the insider programme?
This was so the old controllers had the low latency the series x controllers have etc etc.

@F1at8mot0
I take it you have played hive busters gears of war add on, great game.

@Dezzy70 I have! I really enjoyed it.

Super Metroid and some Enlisted. I got fed up with Back 4 Blood’s b.s. and kicked it off the Series S. I’ll come back probably (maybe) after it’s patched up and fleshed out

Phoenix Point has got a little stale. Last week I was hooked but now its dragging. The strategy layer is so deep and engaging but the combat missions are just a bit dull and always feel the same. It also needs some music for some atmosphere.

Anyway, giving that a break for now and decided to finally start Aragami 2. Wish I had done earlier, old school stealth em up and so relaxing. Loving it so far.

Back 4 Blood will get some more love this weekend too.

Im playing the lord of the rings online and Disciples Liberation.

I'm playing Animal Crossing, Getting ready for the big update..

Resident Evil 2 (N64) - I've made it into the lab and helping Ada Wong.

Mahjong by Microsoft (Android) - Back to playing the daily challenges.

Rayman Fiesta Run (Windows Phone) - Starting on the candy levels.

I finished AI: The Somnium Files which was a pretty insane thrill ride. I’ll probably take a day then go back to Tales of Arise.

I'm Halloween camping so hopefully I'll get a bit of time to play some unruly heroes on Sunday night once were all settled back home.

@Xenomorph_79 you managed to cop Tales for just £12? If not with rewards hook a brother up.

@Dezzy70 there's always the very slim chance that they've done a stealth update though that seems unlikely, there's been no mention of it rolling out to anyone but the insiders on their socials so I would say no.

@Cherip-the-Ripper
That’s what I was thinking, I mean we just had a new console update but no mention of the old controller update being there.
However the elite 2 controller did update as well yesterday.

Been playing Retro Highway. Also a new game. Not too shabby. Also tied F1 2021. Much like most racing games, kept crashing into everything. Into The Pit been trying to play this as it looks like a cool game, but i still haven't got to point were i have weapons. Riders Republic, i grabbed this title but haven't got to try it yet.

The Avengers and loving it!!
Ring of pain, not bad.
A Bards Tale 4, wanted to like it but kept crashing, unbalanced combat and awful and confusing menu system/contols.
