Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Jan 23rd)

Hitman 3. I finished the final mission last night, so now it's time to get level 20 mastery in every level save for Paris, Sapienza and Colorado, which I've already done.

Enjoying a bit of ACV on series x
But flipping between that and Mario kart on the switch this weekend.

Xbox 1: Hitman 3 & WWE 2k Battlegrounds
Ps4: Assassins Creed: Valhalla & Little Nightmare
Switch: Super Mario Bros Deluxe U & Animal Crossing New Horizons

Yakuza Like a Dragon.

I made it to Chapter 12 so don't have much left, but heard there is a lot of grinding to be done going forward, which I am not looking forward to!

I'm stepping into the shoes of Agent Naked Snake Only just started Operation Snake Eater. When I heard the intro song I cried tears of joy (last time I played it was in 2006 on PS2). Enjoy your weekend everyone!

I'm still playing through Batman Arkham Asylum..

Loving Little Nightmares.

Got bored of AC Valhalla and its endless busy work so I'm diving into Hitman 3, well all 3 through Hitman 3 and its nice to be playing something that let's you think for yourself for a change. I might give Cyberpunk another go as well

I SHOULD finish up the Mafia 2 DLC.. I still haven’t finished Joe’s Adventure which I started over a week ago. Thing is I’ve been playing Splatoon 2since the last Splatfest and am working on getting those hero weapons.
Have a great weekend everyone!

On 360 I'll be playing Far Cry 2. I never thought this game would capture my interest but it has. Even though the story is pretty much non-existent and the characters are forgettable, the gameplay is very appealing to me. This game was just ahead of its time with its mechanics. But the gameplay can also get repetitive really fast since there's not much variety. Despite that, I'm still finding it quite enjoyable.

On Xbox One I'll be playing Shadows of the Damned, Need for Speed Payback, Man of Medan, Katana Zero and Haven through Game Pass. I'm really enjoying all these games and I'm hoping to finish them up before the end of this month.

I loved Far Cry 2 back in the day. I thought the plot was great and grounded for once. Might be because I wrote my M.A thesis on post-colonial Africa though.
I finished Shadows of the Damned a couple of days ago. Mindless fun, even if some parts of the game are controversial, to say the least. Enjoy!

On Game Pass I’m playing (and enjoying) Desperados 3 I’ve also downloaded the F2P Hitman 2 starter pack, which I will give a go (unbelievably I haven’t played any of the Hitman trilogy!). On my Switch I’m playing the excellent Hades, and have just started a new run on Zelda Breath of the Wild - I never got that far in my last try, so have started again.

Well i would be playing WWE 2k battlegrounds but the game wont start and i downloaded it twice now. Oh well... Anyone else having issues

@gollumb82 Yeah I probably would've loved this game if I'd played it back when it came out (which was almost 13 years ago!). But yeah, the setting definitely helps out a lot since there aren't many games that take place in Africa.

As a side note, I was playing the game yesterday and a jeep drove straight towards me. I threw a grenade at it, it and a house nearby both exploded. Then a fire started and began spreading to the grass and the trees nearby. I was literally so shocked that I had caused so much devastation just from a single grenade. This whole "domino effect" must've been truly awesome experiencing for the first time back in the day.

Regarding Shadows of the Damned, yeah it's basically as how you describe it. I don't think it'll be anything special for me, but that's the beauty of Game Pass. I can at least play these games that I would've otherwise never bought since they aren't that amazing but are definitely still worth a playthrough.

@LtSarge
Yup, many people think Far Cry 2 is yet to be topped with regard to realistic fire and the way it spreads. Shadows of the Damned gave me serious Duke Nukem 3D vibes when I was playing it. Questionable humour, but a nice change from ultimate political correctness found in games these days.

Hitman 3 on my Series X. The game is incredible. I’ll also be dipping my toes into Hades on the Switch, and also praying for the game to come to Xbox Game Pass. Lol.

Oh, let's give Donut County a try!

1080º Snowboarding (N64) - Just starting on this one, mostly been playing multi with the kids.

Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - Trying to get best ranks on all levels.

Orbital (Windows Phone) - Still playing this here and there.

I'ma give donut county a go, try and finish my Stanley Cup run in NHL 94, finish little acre and keep my run towards the 10K gamerscore quest. I think Titanfall 2 will be booted up after I'm done with the 10K quest and I've heard a lot about Warhammer Vermintide so I'll likely try that out in co-op.

@Medic_Alert
I'll be playing this once I'm done with MGS3 I did see a few users here stating they enjoyed it so not all hope is lost.

Busy weekend for me. I am tempted to get hitman 3, I just purchased 2 but could it be worth playing it through three with updated graphics?

Played through Donut County last night. Easy 1000 GS for those into that. Game is actually very fun with a bit of Katamari Damacy vibes. Pretty solid humor throughout too. Definitely recommend for a maybe 3 hour diversion from more serious games.

Wanted something a bit more relaxing and Lite, so playing Lego City Undercover.

Forza Horizon 4 and Call of the Sea on gamepass. Perhaps a bit of Last of us 2 on PS4.

Still playing Four Kings casino and slots. I won my 1st ever poker tournament yesterday.

Fallout 76 and maybe a little Forza Horizon 4.
