Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 21-22)

Xbox - Doom 3
Xbox 360 - Dead Rising 2
Series S - Forza Motorsport

Happy gaming.

Started another run at Dragons Dogma 2. Playing as a thief this time & it's going good so far.

I am still as bored with the main story as I was in my previous play through but i have enough exploring & other side quests that I stay entertained.

Gotham Knights and Paper Mario (N64) this weekend

Pretty much the same as last week
Star Wars Outlaws - still really enjoying this game. I think Im getting close to the end of the story so Im gonna mop up some trophies and get that platinum as well 🙂

Astro Bot - Amazing! The game just has fantastic level after fantastic level! Love it 🤩

The Plucky Squire - had to try it for a bit, seems very good but it’ll have to wait. Need to finish the games above first 🙂

Just reached the final chapter in Black Myth: Wukong last night. Going to go back to chapter 5 and grab a couple things I missed, and then see if I can't finish off the rest of the game this weekend.

EA Sports FC 25 , Mass Effect and a lot BBq this weekend

I'm doing a chaotic replay of The Surge 2. I'm moving to a new apartment so my budget for games is not available at the moment lol.

Under the waves started it the other day and really enjoying it it's quite relaxing just exploring the ocean. On Xbox I'm trying to finish Star Wars outlaws and playing Far Cry 5 Vietnam dlc. Might give FC 25 trial a go too.

I'll be playing elden ring try finish off the main story with my Dex character and hopefully start the dlc will play a bit with my new magic character aswell and I'll play some master chief collection hopefully finish off combat evolved and get a start on halo 2 but dying for the fight tonight can't wait!

Yakuza Kiwami for me. Finally trying to get around to the non-Ichiban games.

This weekend I'm continuing my playthrough of Trails through Daybreak(Yes I did take a break from the series...for like a day or so) and this is easily my favorite game in the series by far but only because my journey through the series up until this point has been really rewarding in general.

I'll also be playing the demo version for Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven and more Space Marine 2 this weekend.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) - Nearing the end of my Hard playthrough.

Microsoft Wordament (Android) - Dailies and Adventure mode.

Free Slots Fun Factory (Windows Phone) - Won't stop crashing. I'm not sure I'll be able to play this.

Once the f1 finishes for today, Im going to go and beat my head against a wall.... and by that I mean try and get a little further in Black Wokong, which is testing my poor old man reflexes bad! 🤣

Im also looking to finish off Astrobot as some light relief, its such a joyful experience.

... and I really want to get back to some Diablo 4, I keep meaning to and getting distracted..

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

@somnambulance Ouch. Sorry to hear about the car issues. Sometimes its hard to deal with expected expenses, never mind big suprise ones!
My only advice would be dont take my advice! When it comes to games and hardware I have little self control....

Wargroove 2 on Game Pass. Very addictive GBA-style turn-based game with elements of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. Quite tough too - it really makes you use terrain and critical hit advantages to win.

I decided to give Cassette Beasts another try as I need a certain achievement… also started Power Wash simulator as a palette cleanser… have a great gaming weekend!

This weekend on PS5 I'm playing Astro Bot, Stellar Blade (only 3 suits left to find) and Alan Wake 2 ng+. I love how they integraded the DLC into the main story, very nice touch.
On Xbox I'm doing some sidequests in Witcher 3.
On the Switch I'm doing some sidequests in TotK.
It's not often I'm jumping between all 3 consoles but when I do I absolutely love it.

@Titntin
Is your lack of sell control putting you in the queue Thursday 🤣

Star Wars Outlaws (Series X). Clocked up around 30 hours so far and still enjoying it. Have only this week gone to Tatooine for the first time. Could have gone earlier but was saving it 😂 saying that, I still haven’t gone to Mos Eisley yet - I’m saving that now 🤣

Astro Bot (PS5). Serious GOTY contender here. I’m only doing 1 or 2 levels a day, and just taking my time. Amongst all the family friendly levels there are some really tricksy ones too!

The Plucky Squire (PS5/PS+ extra) Really nice concept, and love the way the game seamlessly transitions between 2D and 3D. However, I’m not a fan of the word puzzles, which are very tiresome 🥱

I am playing Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

I got the platinum for Astro Bot yesterday! A true sign of how much I loved it, because that’s only my second platinum, I don’t go out of my way for them. After that I started up Space Marine 2, the best modern 360/PS3 game out there. I’ve also been playing Skyrim on Steam Deck on the side.

Playing The Answer DLC of Persona 3 Reload (pretty boring tbh but I wanna finish it).
I'm also playing Trials and Tribulations from the Ace Attorney Trilogy that's about to leave Game Pass. Amazing game.

@FarmDog08

Good luck with that, man!
You enjoying it so far? Yoiu've got quite the journey ahead of you.

Picked up Age of Wonders 4. Only the base game so far, but may pick up the DLC down the road if it goes on sale. But loving this game so far. Basically Deep Fantasy Civilization.

@Lup pretty good. I still prefer the turn-based. I'm about halfway through it. I've been doing a lot of the Majima Everywhere stuff and some sub stories. Playing on easy to keep it all moving nicely.

@OldGamer999 off course it is! Cant help myself:)

@FarmDog08

Glad to know, man! Kiryu is a good protagonist too once you know him. But he's different from Ichi, yeah.
Majima Everywhere was fun but then got a little annoying if you unlocked all the skills.

The Division 2 campaign. One of those games I'm not sure if I'm enjoying or not. Confusing. Such a fantastic premise and setting for a game. The base gameplay is kinda fun but takes no thought and is extremely predictable. It has an ultra-realistic aesthetic juxtaposed with very robotic and arcadey game loop. I get no joy out of looting and rearranging my equipment every 10 minutes - conversely, I'd prefer to feel attachment to a few pieces. I think I like the first one better due to its sense of loneliness and dread, but this one plays slightly smoother and there are actually more than four enemies at once.

@Titntin
Wow someone just like me 🤣
Good luck by the way.

Am actually playing a lot of Efootball and really enjoying it. It’s rough and ready but actually really good fun.

Spending my time this weekend playing The Last Campfire. Purchased recently on a whim when it was on sale, it turned out to be one of the most charming and thoughtful little games I've encountered in a long time. It mightn't be everyone's cup of tea, but oh my goodness, it sure is mine!

Almost done with the phenomenal Astro Bot on PS5. I’m also catching up on X360 games on my ROG Ally. I missed them because I had a PS3 back then. I started with Forza Horizon 1 which plays beautifully and looks great even today! Think I’m going to play all Horizon games consecutively as I just love this series (so far only played 3,4 and 5).
