Borderlands 3 (Series X) With 4 coming out in a few days, I figure I should finally finish this one. Right now I am on Eden-6 playing a level 31 Siren.
Suikoden II (Series X) Not to far into this one but I am enjoying it. I just left my hometown to begin my epic adventure.
Got mine pre-ordered this was one of the games I was looking forward to this year. I am so hyped for this one that I went back to finish Borderlands 3 so I know what's going on in 4 storywise. Its one of my favorite game franchises.
None of them interest me right now. I might look into Outer Worlds 2 next year but for now I am knee deep in games. I got Suikoden II to finish then of course in a few weeks we have Borderlands 4 coming out then I have Battlefield 6 and I still have Mafia the Old Country to play.
Nothing for me really this weekend as I am going to an Anime Convention in my home town all weekend long so I will be busy. If I do get time I want to start Suikoden II but I dont think I will.
@Ricky-Spanish I dont mind paying for skins. Its when those skins cost CoD their identity that I have problem. I play CoD for CoD not for it to be Fornites Creepy Uncle.
@Elbow No offense but if you dont want to play a military themed shooter then why are you playing CoD. Theres ton of FPS that dont have the military themed. Theres Overwatch, Fortnite, PUBG, just to name a few. That would be like me saying I am tired of generic cars in Forza Motorsport, they need to make it more of a kart racer like Mario Kart.
@Ricky-Spanish I see what your saying but its more about CoD's identity more then anything. They come at us with these trailers of a future militilistic games with robot dogs and drones and then we are seeing TMNT and cell shaded Bevis and Buttheads and unicorn fart guns and before you know it CoD has become Fortnights creepy uncle. It would be like if they took Forza Horizon for example and then threw in a cell shaded Speed Racer car or added Shark Human Hybrid players to Madden.
While I get it CoD is an arcade shooter and there some elements that break realism but if you say its going to be a dark gritty futuristic military tone then stick with it dont switch it in the middle of it. If you want to do a Fortnite clone then do a spinoff or new I.P. dont take a beloved franchise and change its identity just for the dollars.
Will probably check this out at some point. Right now I busted started Suikoden II and here in a few weeks I have Borderlands 4 comeing out. Either before Borderlands 4 comes out or after BL4 I have Mafia: The Old Country to play. Maybe then I will have time for Gears. I may just wait to see if Gears goes on sale for Black Friday as well.
@Dimey I know I am odd lol. I only play games in a series if I can play the other ones. Its one thing if I play the first game and then they bring out the sequel on another console that I dont have cause honestly I would I have known. But when they bring out the middle of a series to all consoles but keep the first one locked to a particular console and I cant play it then I wont play the others.
Suikoden (Series X) I am looking finish of this one this weekend and hopefully start Suikoden II. I am pretty close to the end maybe another hour or 2.
Other then that not much this weekend as my son wanted me to go with him to our local Game Cafe and play Blood on the Clock Tower which could be interesting.
Never finished it and never really played it to be honest. I played a GoW game once for about an hour or two with my son and honestly dont even remember which one. All I remember was running around with a chainsaw gun thing and using it on enemies.
I heard about this game coming to Xbox and was interested in it, but that was before I knew BF6 was coming. It still interests me to a point but right now I have other games I want to finish before Borderlands 4 comes out. After that I will be playing BF6.
Its not bad but the voices are off (honestly I wasn't expecting Heath Ledger due to his passing) but the others are just off. Also why is the Danny Elfman Batman theme playing? It was no where in the Dark Knight Trilogy. The Danny Elfman theme was only in Batman 89 and Batman Returns. Hopefully this is just an early version and they fix all that before the final release.
@Krzzystuff I would be all for it if they did that, but when I play CoD I want to play CoD which was a military themed FPS. If I wanted Bevis and Butthead, Unicorn fart guns then I would play Fortnite, not CoD. Which is why I wont be playing BO7.
Unless they got rid of butt sliding, Bevis and Butthead, unicorn farting guns and basically is no longer Fortnite's creepy uncle I will be going with Battlefield 6 this year.
@Ricky-Spanish If anything I may go back to Battlefield 1 or V since I own those but to be honest I am knee deep in games that I want to finish before Borderlands 4 comes out in a few weeks. Which will keep me busy till Battlefield 6 comes out.
Suikoden (Series X) Well I have one more person to recruit and then I will be putting this one to bed. I really enjoyed my time with Suikoden and it still is one of my favorite RPGs of all time.
Battlefield 6 Beta (Series X) I am really enjoying my time with this one in honesty I haven't enjoyed a FPS game like this in a long time and best of all not Bevis and Butthead, or unicorn fart gun in site.
TMNT Shredder's Revenge (Series X) In honor of the 35th anniversary of the release of the first movie I decided to play some Shredder's Revenge. Mostly leveling up a few characters and achievement hunting. Still a fantastic game.
I like having the option. Granted I buy the recharging packs and use those for my Series X but having the option to use regular batteries is a big plus over Sony's controllers.
Probably not. I am not big into souls games and right now I have a full plate of games. I am currently playing Suikoden which I am about to wrap up. Then I want to start Suikoden II and finish that up as well as Mafia Old Country all before Borderlands 4 comes out here in a few weeks.
Loving it so far. If it wasn't for Borderlands 4 coming out in a few weeks I could say this would probably be my most played FPS this year. Will be putting some more time into this this weekend.
Played the beta for a few hours and loved it. Not a single butt scooting unicorn fart gun wielding Ninja turtle in sight. This is how a military themed FPS should be. Not Fortnite's creepy uncle.
Played it last year after renting it from Gamefly and it was such a snoozer escape after Vahalla. I got mid way through it I guess not really sure but couldnt go on anymore so I sent it back.
Got a few things that I will be playing this weekend.
Suikoden (Series X) Just took down two more of the Empire's generals and now I am preparing to take on Neclord.
Battlefield 6 Beta (Series X) Been looking forward to this, its been sometime since we had a proper military FPS multiplayer game that's not trying to be Fortnite's creepy uncle.
Madden 25 (Series X) With the NFL preseason starting its been making me want to get back to my career in Madden 25.
I think that about wraps it up for me this weekend
I will say Battlefield 1 since it was the one I put the most hours in. I also liked the fact it was WWI which to be honest is a war not to many FPS tackle. Its usually WWII that FPS use or a modern setting. As a history buff it was nice to see WWI as the backdrop for a FPS game which is why I spent alot of time on it back in the day.
I haven't played 6 yet but I have a feeling its going to be a toss up between 6 and 1 as to which is my favorite.
Can't wait to check it out here soon. Its going to be so nice not to have to deal with butt scooting, Bevis and Butthead, Ninja Turtles and unicorn fart guns in a military shooter.
Nice surprise there. I remember playing Hexen alot on the N64 when I was a teenager, I preferred that over Doom to be honest. Will definitely be checking it out this weekend.
Will be trying this on both my Series X and S this weekend. Its going to be so refreshing to play a military themed FPS again without having to worry about Bevis and Butthead and unicorn fart guns ruining the immersion.
Will be getting this one as I loved Mafia 1 and 2. 3 was ok definitely the weak one of the series but still enjoyable. Can't wait for the weekend to play this one.
Very excited to see this. I will be trying this out of course since it looks like we now have a proper military FPS multiplayer game and not Fortnites Creepy Uncle trying to claim to be a military FPS game.
