The cold clutches of winter have arrived, but there’s still a packed PlayStation 4 release schedule to keep you warm during these dark nights. Red Dead Redemption 2 is barely a week old, and the likes of Fallout 76 and Hitman 2 are lingering tantalisingly on the horizon.

I love Red Dead Redemption 2 so much that it’s gotten to the point where I wish I was playing it all the time. That’s not realistic, of course, but I will be enjoying Rockstar’s latest as much as I possibly can this weekend – and enjoying every minute.

I’d love to say I’ll be playing Red Dead Redemption 2 all weekend, punctuated by blasts of the Tetris Effect demo, but review duty beckons. Japanese rhythm game Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session it is, then — variety is the spice of life, as they say.

After sinking over 45 hours into Red Dead Redemption 2, I'm not even halfway through and there's still no end in sight. This weekend I'll continue to chip my way through the Wild West one O'Driscoll at a time.

If I can keep from playing the Tetris Effect demo over and over, then I'll probably find myself playing a mix of Call of Duty and NHL 19 for the duration of the weekend. I might jump into the Fallout 76 beta at least one more time too, to firmly decide if I wanna give it a pass at launch or not still.

Now that we’ve officially moved house and we’re more or less set up, we have a little time to ourselves this weekend. I’ve been so busy that I still haven’t even finished Marvel’s Spider-Man, let alone started some of the more recent big releases. If I get a few hours with Peter Parker this weekend, I’ll be happy.

I'm still really enjoying Castlevania Requiem on PS4. I've beaten the main pathway in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, but I know there's a secret route that displays at the bottom of the stage select screen, so I want to whip my way through some hidden areas without using a walkthrough.

With a free weekend in its entirety ahead of me, the next two days are all about Red Dead Redemption 2, obviously. I'm still only on Chapter 2 so I want to make major headway in the story.

Heaps of overtime has seen windows for gaming in short supply. What measly free time I have mustered has been spent reminiscing with Jagex’s Old Skool Runescape mobile app, a dandy throwback. My breaks at work have been spent with Steins;Gate 0 on PS Vita. I’m not usually a fan of visual-novels but after being completely wooed by it’s forbear and securing he Platinum, I had to promptly indulge myself in the sequel.

I will be continuing my season run with Diablo 3 this weekend as I am having way too much fun with the necromancer. I will also be checking out the dynasty mode in Mutant Football League Dynasty Edition.

Final Fantasy X, i'm playing Blitzball right now trying to get Wakka's Overdrives
SoulCalibur 6, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and maybe Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 for PS4.
I'm still wading through the dense, detailed open world of LEGO DC Super-Villains (what, with a description like that, you were expecting another game's name?).
Almost two hours spent in Smallville earlier, and my completion statistic only crept up two percentage points. Haven't even started on Metropolis, Gotham, Arkham, the swamp, Wayne Manor, Amusement Mile or Apokolips yet.
My OCD might be overjoyed, but there's no way I'll get everywhere cleared before Hitman 2.
GTA V, I've completed the main story, so I'm going to do some of the other things that I've missed. Also continuing to very slowly get through Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked, though I might be getting close to the end of it. Also may as well try out that Tetris Effect demo.
The awesome Red Dead Redemption 2. I think I'm playing this game a little too much because I've started greeting strangers in the street and eyeing up the condition of squirrels' coats in the local park.
I had a great time last week playing games with my nephew. So I'm going to play through some old games. Loving infamous with it's pro patch and I have lots of driveclub dlc still not touched yet.
Cowboy simulator aka RDR2.
Feeling quite miserable due to a massive cold. Sore throat, watery eyes, a runny nose, ... the whole package.
Gonna sit this one through with some cups of hot tea, GOW III Remastered, The Disney Afternoon Collection and some random games on the fly.
RDR2 - I played some last night and lost track of time; it was 2:30am by the time I checked! I haven't been pulled into a game like this since... well, the first RDR!
I'll also be putting in some hours into Diablo III.
@JJ-firl Feel better soon, buddy; there's no greater cure than gaming.
Well, except for headaches, broken fingers and the inability to sit down, I guess, but you haven't listed any of those symptoms, so enjoy!
I'm STILL playing Dragon Quest 11, lol.
Picked up The Lost Child and Shadows: Awakening from one of the current sales, and I've been enjoying what I've played of them. Also, continuing on with Cthulhu.
I'm 64% done on spider-man, I don't like there's rating system in the taskmaster challenge, playing hide and seek with the enemy is fun but doing it while the clock is ticking (to receive better rating/more challenge coin) isn't as much fun.
Also it's not playstation games but I'm getting really hyped for Warcraft 3 Reforged, man I spend so many hours in that game back then, the campaign is really big and good, and after finishing the single player games, I play the dota mod nearly every night with my friends using laptop with lan when I'm still in university, great times

I've really gotten my teeth into Red Dead Redemption 2! It does feel like 'next-gen' gaming in many ways, even if it's a little slow.
I have gotten way too many games at the same time. Playing AC Odyssey ATM, but I may start rdr2 tonight. And I still haven't got anywhere in DQXI. Well at least I beat spider-man and its first dlc.
@RogerRoger Thanks, much appreciated. Apart from the occasional handkerchief breaks and sneeze attacks the body parts required for gaming seem to hold up very well so I'll manage .
Enjoy your weekend!
So much for sticking to 1 or 2 games...
PS4:
Dragon Quest XI. 75 hours in and it just keeps getting better!
Valkyrie Revolution.The cut scenes are boring as hell but I love the gameplay
PSVR:
Tetris Effect Demo,I'm not even a fan of Tetris but this game is awesome!
Astrobot,the best VR game ever.Seriously any chance I can have my own Astrobot pal?
Switch:
Resident Evil Revelations.I played and finished this on the ps4 and the 3ds but it was cheap so couldn't resist.Although to be honest I can't get used to the shooting controls on the Switch.
Torna The Golden Country.As good as Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
And watching Daredevil Season 3 in the evenings.I'm really hoping Karen Page will finally be bumped off.Most annoying actress ever.
Still playing Odyssey tracking down cult members and i might play some jazzpunk on the side
While I do plan on putting more progess into Save Me Mr. Tako on the Switch, I will also begin my foray into Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 Remix on PS4. Pray for me.
It's gonna be Red Dead for the next few weeks I think.
about 44 hours into DQXI and wow, just love it, the games had me in stitches a few times, especially last night with Sylv and his merry men 😂
Digital Devil Saga on PS2 and Valkyria Chronicles 4 on Switch.
Will probably also play some of the Deltarune demo tonight.
Withcher blood and wine and Spiderman dlc. I need to clear my backlogs before buy a new game.
monster hunter 🌎 world playa.thiis game is legendary.and I'm watching my pittsburgh Steelers tomorrow.lets go steelers.word up son
Platinum run Zombi,and start Ni No Kuni 2 or something from my backlog.
Still playing Grand Kingdom on psvita. It's been like half a year already and I still haven't managed to beat it.
A fantastic, yet underrated game.
I've been sucked into RDR2 so much that even AC Odyssey isn't getting a look in. Doubt anything else will be in my schedule this weekend.
@JJ-firl I’m there with ya, man. I’ve been dealing with the same thing. Hopefully there is an end in sight.
For me, I’ll be spending time on the American Frontier in 1899, and also with a tale of souls and swords.
A huge double dose of open-worldness in the forms of RDR2 & AC Odyssey, with FIFA 19 as the palette cleanser. If time, some grinding on Destiny 2 as well.
It's natural to get hooked on new games and play continuously nonstop, then the urge to play any chance you get gradually simmers down after some days but, it's past one week and the urge to play RDR2 is still like it's October 26 all over again every day!
Just Red Dead 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2.
@Th3solution Hey, at least we have an excuse to wear an oversized sweater and sweatpants all day . Take care and enjoy your time between coughing and sneezing!
I just finished Muramasa Rebirth on the Vita yesterday. The base game and all 4 DLC. It took me a total of 121 hours. Never thought I'd get that in-depth with a Vanillaware title, but it was fun.
Got a really busy couple weeks coming up, but if I have time I'll work on getting the platinum for Red Faction, the first one, on PS4. It was a game I loved back on the PS2, and it's pretty cool to play it again with trophies.
PS4 - Red Dead Redemption 2
Switch - Mega Man 11
3DS - Metroid: Samus Returns
Fist of the North Star!!!!
@naruball i will need to look up this game.
Currently i am playing rainbow skies on the vita. 70 hours in. Loving this game.
Mostly been getting my 3rd character up to 600 in Destiny 2 and making the push to finish the final story arc in Odin Sphere.
