Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 290

Well afraid it is Link’s Awakening on Switch for me but I did just download Borderlands Handsome collection and might have a bash on that. Other than that, maybe some retro games.

Shantae and the seven sirens and spidersaurs on apple arcade, man $5 a month for about 100 games with no lootbox, mtx and in-app purchase is a bargain I think. Finally, mobile gaming is saved

Also untitled goose game on switch, being annoying goose has never been so much fun lol.

MHW:Iceborne

Modern Warfare Beta on PS4 and Link's Awakening on Switch

It’ll be a mix of Borderlands 3 (which I’m really enjoying) and a selection on my Switch (BotW, Links Awakening, Mario Kart, Skyrim). Still haven’t gotten over how cool that device is

Since this has turned in to Nintendolife im playing Links Awakening and untitle goose game for the switch

Same as last week for me. Let It Die on PS4

Jade Cocoon 2 on PS2

Might start Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen on PS4 again or maybe bust open my Odin Sphere Leifthrasir (Storybook Edition too for £30) for PS4. Ive already played the PS2 and PS3 versions but... I love that fudging game lol

Still playing COD: MW3 on PS3. I’m working my way through survival mode, trying to reach wave 15 on all missions. Currently on mission 9 of 16.

Happy gaming everyone.

Im working through my backlog before ff7 remake and cyberpunk (& TLOU2??), so finally getting around to Alien Isolation. Its pretty tense stuff so far, 4 chapters in!

All PlayStation for me with Red Dead Online, the very decent Rebel Cops and the very decent Darksiders 3.

BL3 and Monster Hunter World Iceborne.

Borderlands 3 and I need a couple of trophies for the Control platinum, one of which had bugged on me so hopefully I'll be able to get that now that its been patched.

I've finally unlocked the mod shop in Mafia 3, and made an awesome Sixties hippie wagon with flowers and peace logos all over it.

I'm slightly undermining the car's message by using it to drive around shooting people in the face.

Drawn to life on DS
Bioshock Infinite & Horizon Turbo on PS4

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy wow i don't see many people talking about Jade Cocoon 2 on here very often, that game is awesome

on topic, i'm still messing about on FFVIII Remastered now i could just go and do the end game stuff but i'm having too much fun grinding and playing cards

@kyleforrester87 Yes, it’s actually fun puzzle games

Also it’s discounted from $20 to $15 on launch day until 4 october.

I’ve been playing Lara Croft Go in piecemeal fashion for a couple months for palate cleansing and I think it’s time to finish that off with a platinum. Nice little game. Too bad the performance on Vita is abysmal.
And I might be close to finishing Spider-Man too. Depends whether I want to stick around for the platinum.

@kyleforrester87 Yeah i think i agree. There was literally no hand holding telling me how to play at the start, and the first encounter with human enemies was a bit of a pain. Just got to the medical facility and trying to avoid the alien. I havent been seen so far 😬 im terrible at stealth though, so only a matter of time!!

Im glad to finally play it. I bought it on PS3 and never actually put the disc in my console, so glad i am actually getting through the backlog this time around 😊

The Sega Genesis Mini. Going old school here with Earthworm Jim, Streets of Rage 2, Castlevania Bloodlines, Strider, and a lot more games on there. If I do play something on PS4 then it will probably be Samurai Shodown.

@ApostateMage I’ve brought Rebel Cops but don’t want to start it until I have finished some others.
I’m still going through the behemoth that is AC Odyssey, about 50 hours in and so much of the map untouched.

I’ve got addicted to RDR2 Online roles. Maxed the levels on Collector so will put more time into the trading. Not sure the bounty hunter progress is tracking properly.

Doom 2016 and Okami, maybe something else if i get those finished!

Got Link's Awakening for the Switch, so I'll be busy with that.

Ni No kuni absolutely love this game and can't wait to get back into this world

Ys lacrimosa of dana.easily one of the best rpgs ever.word up son

@shonenjump86. Streets of rage 2 is the best.word up son

Ha ha well a couple of weeks ago @FullbringIchigo I was playing the original!

I'd honestly be surprised if Jade Cocoon 2 was brought up much, if at all lol

I'm at the end of Disc 2 for Final Fantasy 7. Just have to go through Midgar again then it's onto the final dungeon aka Disc 3.

Might also start dabbling into LoZ Link's Awakening. I never played the original Game Boy version, so I'm pretty excited to give it a go. Pretty rare for me to miss out on original Zelda games.

I may start another play through of Man of Medan (this time I'll attempt to kill off as many of the main characters as possible), some indie games and maybe a bit more Rage2. I must dig the PSVR out of retirement as I have a tonne of games waiting to play, just haven't had the time/space in the last 6 months.

@playstation1995 you know it, word up son.

Not much for me, I'm away on holiday this weekend.

Fallout 4, Greedfall, dragons dogma and torchlight 2. Tbh I also have the urge to play Skyrim on the switch after a couple of months. Need to be the ultimate stealth archer hiding behind pillars like a troll. 😁

Resident Evil 2 (N64) - Just starting my first Leon A playthrough.

Killzone: Mercenary (Vita) - Still playing online here and there.

Asphalt 5 (Windows Phone) - Nearing the end now.

Zoo Tycoon Friends (Windows Store) - Can't do much since the server closure, but still having fun.

Quite a lot tbh, I finally got PS Plus back so I’m back into Overwatch, which is drastically different but in a good way imo. I also got MLB The Show 19 and really enjoying it despite being from the UK and not particularly knowing the nuances of baseball. Other than that, I’ll be trying to finish off Horizon and do the DLC. On Vita, I’ll be plodding along in Trails in the Sky FC Evo and playing a bit more of Ys: Lacrimosa of Dana.

Zelder and the Ori Demo on Switch.

Spiderman I diverted to BioShock 1 and 2 as I loved those games back in the day and decided to give the Spider a break. Once he's over I'm moving onto Horizon Zero Dawn

@kyleforrester87 Yeah it’s a short game and I don’t recommend it at $20, but it’s a good price at $15.

Man I want to play link awakening on switch lite now but unfortunately both my games and my switch lite will arrive either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

No surprise but I'm still playing Assassins creed Odyssey...nearly finished the main game at last with only a few trophys to plat but then I'll be starting the dlc..
Trails Of Cold Steel 2 will get another look in.Now I've moved my save from the Vita to the Ps4 I'm finally getting on with this fab game.
On the Switch I'll be trying to obtain the Kirby theme on Tetris 99,continuing Octopath Traveller and getting stuck into Zelda Links Awakening..I never had the chance to play this back in the day but I'm Loving it!
Finally next week can not come soon enough,been playing Ori And The BlindForest demo and it's fantastic!Atmospheric and beautiful!

@KratosMD I haven’t actually! I’d have preferred it it released on a portable device, I played the first two on Vita and loved that I could play them anywhere. I might hold out until it gets a Switch port hopefully coz I’m not sure if I’d enjoy it on the big screen....looks brilliant though!

GOW, HZD, AC Odyssey, Batman AK, SE4, RDR2/O - it's interesting that Rockstar has made looting enemies so quick in Online with the new update. I'm happy there's still the original looting animation in Story. I don't get why people are always in extra hurry in online gaming.

Link's Awakening is my favorite game of all time, so I'm all in on the Switch version right now.

Untitled Goose Game on Switch. Also trying to get into Breath of the Wild for the third time. Gran Turismo 6 on PS3 (bought GT Sport in a sale and it made me want a proper career). Got lots lined up on the PS4 to get round to though.

Taking a break from fallout 4 with a go at rise of the tomb raider. Just a few camps in but seems decent. Very jealous of the switch crew with links awakening, enjoy! I'm dropping big hints to the mrs for Christmas already....

Borderlands 3, Torchlight 2, Greedfall, WRC8, and Bus Simulator on PS4. On Switch I’ll be playing Zelda Link’s Awakening.

FF7- got my gold and KotR lol. Might beat game before weapons....already OP

BL3- wife and I both level 9. Taking out times...waiting on a freakin patch

Blasphemous- jury still out for me if its good

Hooked on Soulcalibur VI, got it yesterday from the Big in Japan sale and just can’t seem to put it down.

@BearsEatBeets Yeah, the bounty hunting in RDO seems to be taking ages to level up for me. The new legendary bounty with its little background on the character is a nice touch.

@TheArt I really didn't mind the looting animation either and was a little miffed that they changed it but it does make things a hell of a lot easier.

The following and PES2020 on PS4
Mario vs Rabbids on the switch

Last bit of the 10hr trial of fifa 20, gonna get it this year, been a while since I last played football game, and some dragon quest heroes, looks like greedfall has fallen into my backlog pile, just ain't doing anything for me.

@ApostateMage I like the new walking style though, differentiates it from Arthur's. It used to be the same.

@TheArt There's a lot of different walking styles to choose from now, even a geriatric style. I play as a cowgirl so I'm all swaying hips.

Gravel and Sniper Elite 4 here!

Greedfall - enjoying it so far, only about 4 hours in, well written and voice acted but very buggy and glitchy and NOT liking the fast travel system
Pro Evo 2020 - the best footie game ever made ? I reckon so
Borderlands 3 - still dabbling, enjoyable but same old same old, though the combat is superb

Beat Doom 2016 late last night and i'm about to face off against the boss on Oni Island in Okami, just how big is this game? I'm 34 hours in and still to find one more celestial brush technique!
