There’s a heat wave in Europe which is smashing temperature records like they’re going out of fashion, so we’re not even going to joke about closing the curtains today – it’s a matter of health and safety. To be honest you may want to keep your PS4 Pro turned off, too, as that adds another dozen degrees to the atmosphere!

I’ll be hitting up the courtroom this weekend with Judgment. I’ve only just reached the second chapter but I already love it. I have also somehow been roped into playing Destiny 2 all over again thanks to the likes of contributors Alex Stinton and Simon Fitzgerald, as well as the lovely community member Shane. So yeah, back to that I guess!

In the early 1990s my friend sold his entire Mega Drive collection to buy a Neo Geo with two games. In honour of such a bold purchasing decision, I'm going to play Hamster's PS4 release of ACA Neo Geo Burning Fight, because this 1991 SNK beat-'em-up was initially his only other game alongside World Heroes.

Decided to go back and 100 per cent Yakuza 0 and Kiwami in preparation for Judgment. Elsewhere i'll be catching the odd race in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.

I haven't played very much Apex Legends of late, so I'd definitely like to spend some time with that. Meanwhile, on the VR end, I haven't spent a lot of time lately with Beat Saber either, so I might have to pick those moves up and give it some much-needed attention.

I'll be spending my weekend feebly attempting to beat Nitros Oxide's track times in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. This platinum trophy is making my hands hurt.

I managed to pick up a few new games this week. First up is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for PS4 and for the Switch I got Super Mario Maker 2. Both I am eager to start for different reasons and that should keep me busy all weekend long.
What's keeping you busy this weekend? Will you be enjoying the good weather, or staying indoors? You know the drill in the comments section below.

My first wayp for some time. Anyway going to continue with Bloodstained:Ritual of the night and possibly try and beat that complete and utter a hole Laurence in Bloodborne.
Ritual of the Night (on PC).
Smash Ultimate.
And, maybe, Mario Maker 2 (still undecided if I'm getting it).
I'll be spending my free time playing Judgment.
Not much this time since I’m still out of town. But I’ll be back to normal on Sunday. I’ll finally buy Samurai Shodown.
Picked up dreams on my birthday along with Super Mario Maker 2. I figure they are the last two games i ever need to buy.
It seems I left Tomb Raider right in a stealthy section when stopped playing months ago so took a few deaths before I got back into the swing of things. Apparently I’m 66% done so looking forward to getting back into it.
I’ve also started Persona 5 finally. It definitely has a lot of stuff to get the hang of but liking so far.
Going to try out the Monster Hunter World Iceborne beta, do a bit more Crash Team Racing, and finish off Zelda Majora's Mask.
I'm loving my time with crash team racing, didn't buy for a couple of days after release as I'd read the 7 review on here and noted the authors gripes with difficulty. We'll I can say my opinion is its really easy to get to grips with and it looks so beautiful and plays so well. I can't seem to pull myself away from it. It's so accessible and I can't wait to get my family playing with me. For sheer addictive gameplay I'd be hard pushed to not score it a 9.
Continue playing Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. I'm well on my way to 100% the adventure mode on Medium. The trophy races are super duper easy to me on medium. Guess years of playing the original has paid off.
I'll also throw in Mario Maker 2 since it arrived in the mail yesterday, and keep keepin' on in Final Fantasy 7.
There's some insane noise pollution coming out of my PS4 playing in this glorious heat.
I've started playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided to satisfy my Cyberpunk 2077 cravings. I forgot how good this game is. Adam Jensen is a playa.
@get2sammyb You guys stay safe their in Europe. Growing up in California all my life I can tell you hewtwaves are no fun.
I am not sure if this is true or not but I heard that air conditioning is not a common thing in Europe as it is in the US.
Played Mario maker 2 with my daughter earlier, i was hungover, the courses she made were terrible but it was amazing fun. Hoping to get back to the commonwealth later and pick up my new power armour from the brotherhood of steel.
@Tasuki It's not in the UK but it's also not as hot here as it is on the continent.
prey .valkyria chronicles remaster.prey is a amazing game.extremely addicted.and valkyria chronicles is great also man I'm having a blast with both of them.💖👍😇.word up son
I finally bought Sekiro so the answer is clear. But I also got Little Nightmares on the Store for € 5 and I could play it as a sedative after a long session of Katana & Blasphemies.
@Tasuki Here in Italy air conditioning is common in shops and offices, but not in houses. Maybe because heatwaves are a good excuse for not doing anything...
I'm playing and absolutely loving Bloodstained, this is exactly what I wanted from a new Castlevania game and it's one of my favourite games of this year so far. Also picked up Kingdom Hearts 3 which is a lot of fun too, at least when the characters aren't spouting gibberish about heartless and nobody's. In between that is a fantastic action RPG with Disney characters and it looks amazing too
FINAL FANTASY IX Remaster, i really need to finish it off then onto the Secret of Mana Remake
Just finished LA Noire for the 100th time and what an ending. No wonder it was remastered, what a sad story. Cole Phelps and Jack Kelso.
Still is the neverending AC Odyssey at 102hrs and a deeper exploration of RDR2 for me.
Sekiro shadows die twice and i die 1000 times. I may pick up bloodstained this weekend after i rage quit and break my copy of sekiro in half.(I knew there was a reason i started buying digital!)
just picked up borderlands remaster from the sale so i will be playing that for a while.
Playing bloodstained on ps4. The difficulty gap between the first and second boss is quite large, I can easily defeat the first boss but the second boss is makes me think "did I take a wrong turn somewhere in this castle?". Fortunately after leveling up 3-4 times and getting good gears and magic I can defeat him (with an inch of miriam life). I use lethal boots (the protruding knife is cool little detail), cerulean splash (low mp use and good damage) and plume parma (because there's nothing more hilarious than sending flying pig to your enemy lol).
On switch I'm playing cadence of hyrule, I don't like the normal rhythm gameplay but it can be turned off, now I'm playing a really good strategy/chess zelda game
Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers is in early access and I'm basically just playing that.
@ApostateMage I did the exact same thing a month ago and I just finished it. My god I didn't remember how good this game was. Too bad for the abrupt ending but the journey was amazing.
Currently playing metro Exodus and PES2019.
Finished Shaq Fu so will start my other Father’s Day gift, Detroit Become Human.
Mainly playing Bloodstained: ritual of the night. Might also do a bit of Phoenix Wright ace attorney trilogy and God of War 3 remastered. Have just got the platinum for dangerous driving so probably won’t be going back to that for awhile.
I’ve started into The Sinking City and have enjoyed my time with it so far, so I’m planning to delve into further mysteries over the weekend. When I’m tired of sleuthing, I’ll continue my treasure hunting run with the Uncharted Collection.
What’s going on guys, I finally finished Darksiders on PS3. Now I’m going back to GTAV on PS3 after taking a break for over 3 years.
It still has probably the funniest script in a game I’ve ever played. Just brilliant.
I’m paranoid with the server closing of TLoU that no big game is safe, and even though GTAV is still a big money-maker, I could see them closing down the PS3 servers and keeping them up on PS4, like was done with TLoU. So this will be my next game to cross off the trophy list.
Happy gaming everyone.
Got the Borderlands 2 plat the other day so I'm playing the Hammerlock DLC and when that's done I'll have 100% completion, after that I'll be heading back to Kamurocho to crack some skulls in Judgment!
@ApostateMage Deus Ex MD is pretty easy to plat except those Breach trophies aren't fun to play for and somewhat frustrating too.
@TheArt I've played through the game years ago twice with absolutely no alarms but I never got The Foxiest Of Hounds trophy. I'm sure it was bugged. I'm trying it again on new game plus.
@ApostateMage Right, I think I read about that trophy not popping up for some people.
Probably more Borderlands 2 from the Handsome Collection. Also been playing Rayman Legends off and on. I’m not usually a platformer fan nor an FPS fan, but these two are really fun. I haven’t played a third person open world action game in long time, despite that traditionally being my favorite genre. Strange.
@andreoni79 @get2sammyb Yeah I know AC isn't too common on the East Coast of the US in older houses here in California it's very common, but then again the invention of the AC made it more desirable to live in California and led to the growth of it in the earlier 20th century especially after WWII.
Just got the Platinum for Super Blood Hockey last night. I rarely do that, but as a big fan of the NES hockey titles, I had a ball with that game.
Now that is complete, so I am going to finish the last few puzzles in Broken Age before finally playing Dishonored 2. In summary, after a brief hockey detour, the summer attempt to dent my backlog continues!
Splatoon 2 - Gotta practice in Ranked modes to get ready for the final SplatFest! #TeamChaos
Rocket League (Switch) - Taking part in the online summer 80's events. Playing Ghost Hunt has been an absolute blast(pun intended)
L.A. Noire (Switch) - Finally started this gem a few days ago and am enjoying it so far!
Super Mario Land (Game Boy) - Playing in celebration of it's upcoming 30th anniversary!
Mirror's Edge (Windows Phone) - Still on a Let's Play
Microsoft Flight (Games For Windows) - Still on a Let's Play
Now that the heatwave has finally hit the UK then in the interests of avoiding premature ageing (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it), I've been inside with the curtains closed all day and the fan on, continuing with Judgment and drinking lots of ice cold Sprunk! To echo many others, Judgment is great fun and a worthy member of the Yakuza extended family! 😀 Will probably check out the DQ Builders 2 demo tomorrow too if I get the chance.
@Tasuki Air con - or ceiling fans in older unrenovated buildings - is very common in Southern Europe, but only the newer or more recently renovated buildings, along with hotels, tend to have it in the rest of Europe, so most of us tend to make do with desktop or tower fans when it gets hot...this will probably change for us over the next 10-20 years as we get more heatwaves and the seasons get steadily warmer on average (or at the very least it will become more commonplace).
I’ll be starting Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, which arrived yesterday. Also some more of the ruddy marvellous Crash team racing NF, F1 2018, Days Gone, and Warhammer Chaosbane.
I have a week off now so besides a few other things to get done hopefully I'll get a lot of gaming time.Troubles is if it's anything like today I can't see that happening.Our whole house is full of fans and it still feels like an oven so apart from a few goes on Overcooked with my nephews I have been too hot and tired to do anything.
When i do get round to playing anything it will be..
Assassins Creed Odyssey,Walking Dead Final Season,Crash Team Racing and on Switch : Octopath Traveller and Graveyard keeper.
Loving judgment, only bought it yesterday and already on chapter 4, after it's impression I am very tempted by the yakuza games which I've always been on the fence with. Also been replaying mafia 3 on the side, it's a decent game with a phenomenal story,writing and open world and some lacklustre gameplay. Finally on holiday so looking forward to lots more of them both.
Hot or cold is a state of mind, chaps.
That said, Bloodstained for me this weekend.
Thinking of finally repkaying Witcher 3, got to see my lovely Triss. Also starting God of war (totally late to the party) my god this game is fantastic xx
Replaying (oops 😁)
It’ll be Destiny 2 for me for the foreseeable future. I’ll be playing with the Pushsquare scribes in the grind to get ready for Shadowkeep. I’m sure there vast gaming knowledge will come to the fore now surely?
I'm watching the end of SGDQ and playing some Fortnite to mop up challenges.
But tomorrow I want to finish the missions in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 and also play a bit more Shadow of War. Thursday it's my B-day and I might get Rage 2 and Judgement or some other game dunno
Just finished Judgement, what a game, great story. Next up is Yakuza Kiwami.
Dark souls Remastered, i seem to have found myself in the catacombs aaaahhhh. Think i've found a way back out but died horribly to a giant skeleton before i could explore further!
@Dyrual I still haven’t played any Yakuza games I have Yakuza 0 sitting on my hard drive, waiting for a gap in my gaming schedule to play it!
I'm still in a serious simulation game mood this weekend, trying to cram in as much as possible of: Euro + American Truck Sim, Bus Simulator 18, Sailaway, Train Sim World, Ship Simulator Extremes, and Pure Farming 2018.
A few of them are available on the PS4 as well: Bus Simulator 18, Pure Farming and Train Sim World. Even though I play them on PC I use a regular controller for them, and they play really well using a controller.
Back in Destiny 2 in a big way at present. Games in a great place with lots of promising content upcoming.
