Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 28-29)

Avatar DLC 1
Atomic Heart Main Campaign

I only play 2 genres basically:
Kart Racers in the morning
Sci-Fi FPS single-player campaigns in the afternoon

Pixel remasters for me 😎 been waiting so long for it😂😭 forgot how good the music is os on vi 😂

Yakuza Kiwami and the Pixel Remasters. Starting at the beginning again with FF I (Warrior, Thief, W. Mage, B. Mage).

Since last week

Star Wars Outlaws - finished and platinumed, really enjoyed this game. Sure, it has its flaws but on the whole I found it to be a great game. The Star Wars feeling is top notch. Would love a sequel but that’s not likely to happen sadly.

Stellar Blade - Did a new game + playthrough for the platinum, focusing only on the main missions. What an awesome game this is, love it!

Astro Bot - just finished the third world, or galaxy, or whatever, taking my sweet time and enjoying every second of it. Such an amazing game, my all time favorite 3d platformer and I haven’t even finished it yet 😊

Road 96 - Wanted to try this given the Life is Strange vibes I got from it, and even if its imo far from LiS level good so far the game has that something that’s got me wanting more.

Finally got round to Hellblade 2, with headphones on. Why didn’t I play this earlier?! Have a good one everybody.

Trying to finish Astrobot, last few levels to do, but its getting a bit harder!
Still playing Black Wukong. Its been a struggle, but worth it. Im still only on the second stage, but nearly completed! Im level 65 just get here, lol.

... and Ive been playing Diablo 4 again ahead of the new dlc launch. I still haven't finished the campaign once yet, but got 92 hours in the game. Im so slow..

Whatever you are playing this weekend, I hope you have a great time!

Super Mario Wonder and second NieR Automata playthrough, trying to complete Achivements this time.

Decided to jump into Sleeping Dogs & give it another run. I am not a huge fan of remakes or remasters & would prefer a full sequel but in this case i wouldn't object to a remaster either.

The Division 2 is running a massive boosted 5x xp event over the weekend & I have also been picking away at that. After a certain point levels & xp are essentially meaningless so its not a big focus for me.

In the throws of finishing my Dark Urge run of Baldur's Gate 3 on my Xbox. So far I have spent over 250 hours on a single run on my Xbox, which is about right, because I have done 4 runs on my PC and have topped 1000 hours there.

I'll also be undertaking two 50 wave Hordes in Gears 5 over the weekend, doing them as a duo with my mate as we do each weekend. We like to try and do them on Insane, and get a flawless 50 waves, where neither of us die. With only two of you, that's a real challenge...

More Wargroove 2 on Game Pass in the morning. This afternoon I’m showing the PS5 some love by playing the remaster of The Last of Us which has appeared on PS+.

Continuing with Jedi Survivor. Really liking the pace of it, and combat is excellent.

Also having a go at AC Mirage whilst I have a few days left of Ubi+. Liking the vibe so far, really feels like a throwback to the days of not only AC, but also Splinter Cell. Too early to say whether I’ll get bored of sneaking around, but it’s got me for now.

I've just finished Star Wars Outlaws on Xbox and Under The Waves on PS5 now trying to decide what to play next. I'm seriously thinking about buying Stellar Blade or Dragon's Dogma 2 but i should really try and clear some of my backlog.

Pixel! Cancelled my physical switch preorder at eb games to buy this for $35 cheaper. Also my switch fan sounds like a jet engine after it was stood on so even better.

This weekend I'm playing the Metaphor demo. I loved Persona 5 so I'm definetly interested.
Other than that I might do some sidequesting in Zelda TotK.

Recently finished: I honestly finished this game and got the plat a long time ago but the other day I unlocked the last outfits in Stellar Blade. It's my GOTY for sure with its excellent combat, boss fights and soundtrack. Oh, and the game has been completely bug free since launch day. A high quality game indeed that I highly recommend if you like action games.

Bought GTA 4 yesterday just to play again after all these years so I'll be on that mostly and probably some elden ring and call of duty aswell and come on United on Sunday please God get a win!

Persona 5 Tactica and also trying Atlas Fallen.

PS5/PS4- Marvel vs Capcom Collection, Lollipop Chainsaw Repop, and Dragon Dogma 2. Maybe Stellar Blade.
Series X- Street Fighter 6
Switch- Ace Attorney Investigation Collection, and TMNT Reshelled.

I finished my The Surge 2 NG+ run, so I'm currently out of games to play lol. I might try some Palworld, I forgot that I bought the crazy thing like months ago.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is taking up my gaming time this weekend. I'm in the 4th dungeon and loving this game. The performance is pretty awful, but the game itself is amazing.

Just finished Gotham Knights this week, had a good time with it.
Now I'm finishing Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (Xbox) and continuing my playthrough on Paper Mario (NSO/N64). On mobile I'm currently playing Storyteller via Netflix Games

Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) - Chase and I are reunited for a brief bit..

Microsoft Wordament (Android) - Dailies and Adventure mode.

Free Slots Fun Factory (Windows Phone) - I can't seem to get this running. I'll watch some YT vids on it and then delete it from the list of games remaining on the Windows Phone...

Still plugging away at Star Wars Outlaws on Series X. Have around 38 hours under my belt now, and even though I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the game I think I’m ready to move on, so will now concentrate on just the main quests.
On PS5 I’m still playing the excellent Astro Bot. I’ve now saved around 210 bots, so still plenty to find.
I’ve just bought indie game Caravan Sand Witch on PS5. Nice, chilled game to play, and loving the Mediterranean vibes.

So close on Brotato at 91% so will keep working on that…. I need a certain achievement on cassette Beasts and then finish off the weekend with Powerwash Sim… have a great weekend of games… it a long weekend in Canada!

Finished Breakpoint. Holy hell that game was bad - even the reworked DLC campaign. If I didn't love Wildlands so much, I would've dropped it.

SW Outlaws next, while I still have Ubi+.

I'm playing Harold Halibut on Gamepass. I finished playing Halo ODST last week and wanted to play something a little different before going through Reach and Halo 4. My Gamepass subscription ends in late October, but I think I have enough time to get through those 3 still.

This weekend I'm playing the prologue demo for Metaphor ReFantazio and System Shock on PS5.
Once I've beaten the Metaphor demo, it's back to either Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance or Trails through Daybreak.

On PC, I'm bouncing between Ghost of Tsushima and Helldivers 2, and on Steam Deck I just started Dead Cells.

Nostalgia only weekend. Pixel FF6 on Xbox. Chrono Trigger on Ps3.

Hellblade 1 really enjoyed it. Moved onto COD MW3 zombies. Ready to start a new game next

My wife took the kids for a sleepover at my sister in law’s house, so I’ve been taking some relaxation time for myself and doing some heavy gaming. Mostly I’ve been playing Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, I expected to enjoy it, I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. I don’t think it’ll beat out Astro as my GotY, but it’ll be a close second. I also jumped into a few rounds of Space Marine 2 with a couple of friends, my very rare multiplayer gaming time. I’m almost exclusive a single player kind of guy, but every now and then the right game comes along.

Been doing Space Marine 2 PVP and it's actually really fun, I don't PVP much these days but here we are after finishing the campaign I needed more. Waiting for my friends to do the operations mode.

Extremely happy that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters finally made it to Xbox

Well here we go with another exciting WAYP. Been a nice and chill week around here. Most of the week was just the usual games like Dawntrail and Astro Bot and Emio. Most of the weekend when not working was taken up by Emio The Smiling Man and more The Plucky Squire. Plucky Squire is seriously so charming and an easy GOTY contender. Rest of the weekend is probably gonna be a little Emio and some Visions of Mana. Maybe Star Wars. I do have Zelda but I’ll probably save it for the day off on Friday. 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, The Plucky Squire and Visions of Mana. Also got some PSN money that I think I’m gonna use to preorder Sonic X Shadow Generations, Slitterhead and Lego Horizon Adventures. That State of Play and Sonic Central were seriously awesome I loved them a lot. Very happy with the Monster Hunter Wilds news. Wrestling this week is quite simple this upcoming Saturday is WWE Bad Blood and I couldn’t be more hype this is gonna be the blow off of all blow offs for so many feuds. Suffice to say I’m pretty sure everyone with a match at Bad Blood has some bad blood with their opponent. Got plans to cook something from my FFXIV Cookbook with a friend that day too. Anime of the week gotta go to Nokotan, Alya Sometimes Speaks in Russian, Oshi No Ko and Mission Yozakura Family. Again all of these anime are absolutely killing it they rule. Also gotta mention Mr. McMahon on Netflix a very very interesting little documentary I’m interested to watch more of. Saw Transformers One this week too and it was seriously excellent one of the best movies of the year. 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 super awesome to each other. Have a totally exciting weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
