Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 611

After umming and ahhing over Ender Lilies for a couple of years, I finally got it a couple of weeks ago in the sale. At first the level design seems really blocky, but the game really opens out into a brilliant little Metroidvania, it was work persevering with. I platinumed it in about 50 hours and loved the last 40 hours. The bosses are so fair, nothing feels like "Ugh, I've got to do this another 50 times". Ender Magnolia is a completely different setting, but I'm having fun with it too.

I'm still playing Star Ocean The Second Story R but it feels really grindy, I like the characters, but yeah, I'm a bit cool on the game. I'll finish it anyway.

Have a great weekend Folks!

Tomorrow I'll have a couch coop session with my friends (yes, I actually do have them) where we'll continue the tradition of anually beating at least one Tony Hawk game and now it's time to finally unbox Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4. I'll also throw in some Double Dragon Revive and Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection for mixing things up a bit.

Having returned to the amazing Puppeteer last weekend, I then followed that up with a playthrough of another game I love to return to round Christmastime - the poetic, beautiful Journey. Now this weekend I have decided to try Owlboy. Just started it yesterday, and so far it seems the perfect choice for some cosy winter gaming.

Im back with my wife and son. A couple of missions and the game is done. Red dead redemption!

Hell let loose. New trailer released this week for hll: vietnam.

Skate Story. Played the first chapter and its pretty weird. Love it!

Was planning on buying Military logistics simulator but bought some concert ticket instead. Taking my oldest(12 years) with me. His first gig, i hope he will like it.

Have a great weekend!

@TimeDelayedGamer I've tried to buy a physical copy of Puppeteer for quite some time but the prices were a bit too high. I can only think now is even worse. You played it digitally on PS3? I assume the game is a real hidden gem?

Resident Evil 3 Remake, WWE 2K25, Fatal Fury COTW. I. I’m in the mode for Tomb Raider. I might give the reboot trilogy another play through.

I gave Lego Horizon Adventures on psportal and so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Never played any of Horizon games (+DLC) so far, though

Playing:

• Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus / Vita
  I just bought a secondhand copy for $8-9 and so far i quite enjoyed it despite it's not 60 fps but a solid 30 fps. The graphic looks pretty good too. Sadly there's no Japan dub option. Currently i'm at Chapter 3.
• The Legend of Dragoon / PS4
  Right now i'm on Disc 3 / Chapter 3. The Divine Dragon cutscene when it breaks free and flying around Deningrad looks majestic. I can feel that dragon will be a pain in the ass. Gonna stock a good amount of healing items.

Have a great weekend everyone 🍻

Back on E33 to check out that new update. Really nice and even more artistic and nice music, I must say the Photo Mode is one of the best especially with the filters. Still KCD2 deserved RPGotY, it's the same sentiment across the Internet. Got robbed by a couple of bandits, my Henry was nice to them and tricked them into showing him their hideout to learn skills on thievery. Went back days later under the cover of night, knocked out the bandit leader who still had my coin on him, took it along with some valuables. On my way back it was morning, went back to village to check up on a woman I had saved in a forest some time ago. I mean this kind of immersion...tsk I'm just convinced most journalists didn't bother with KCD2, the steep learning curve at the beginning can easily throw you off, but then what sort of games journo does that make you...

Mostly Metroid Prime 4 for me this Weekend. It is fantastic.

I don’t really have anything to play after finishing PowerWash 2 and Tomb Raider. There’s no backlog. What a time. Maybe I’ll… watch tv?

Had to give up on The Endless Tower in Clair Obscur much to my shame. Way beyond my capabilities and patience. Bloody tough bosses....still GOTY though.
Starting to clear my huge backlog with Bioshock 2 Remastered - love this game, it's by far the best in the series.
More strategy shenanigans in Starcraft 2 on PC and the new Guild Wars Reforged on Steam Deck
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Equalicious (Windows Phone) - Still playing almost daily.

Angry Birds Seasons (Windows Phone) - Getting 3 stars on all these Christmas levels may drive me insane...

Angry Birds Space (Windows Phone) - Haven't made much progress this past week.

@Czar_Khastik I'm lucky enough to own a PS3 physical copy that I bought at the time of release. I've played it through many times and I can't praise it enough. The art direction is fantastic (it still looks great today), the music is inspired, the story and setting is a ton of fun, and the gameplay is there too. There's so many secrets and little details crammed into it that I generally discover something new every time I play. It's also got a fun co-op mode that is great to play with the kids.

Definitely give it a go if you get the chance (without having to sell your house to get a copy).

i’ll be playing breath of the wild, after 7 years of starts and stops on 3 systems i’m finally making progress, hopefully be done by next week. outside of gaming i’ll be priming a model car kit.

I will continued playing one of the best video games ever made and the most iconic video games protagonist ever in the incredible crash bandicoot 2 Cortez strikes back.i will continued playing another one of the best video games ever made in the excellent sifu.i will also continued playing the smash hit the amazing cuphead.

Red dead redemption remake some Helldivers 2 and a little bit of the Grinch game and cosmic invasion!
Happy weekend folks✌️

Finished Lunacid + VR mod. Didn't expect the Xmas celebrations in this game.

Also started Elderand, a Metroidvania from Brazil, and played some more Demeo online.

Finished Lego Horizon the other day got 1 trophy left for the platinum so might try and get that today and more Outer Worlds 2 and some Battlefield 6. I also got a month of Gamepass for a £1 tried Blops 7 and it's terrible so I'm going to try Clair Obscur started it when it released but didn't get very far.

@playstation1995 Word✊

After being stuck on a puzzle in Gorogoa for most of the week, I finally cracked it this morning... and then immediately had to go out.

Can't wait to get back to it later on (and probably get stuck again!)

Red dead redemption 1

Greetings, good people.

I bought and tried Metroid Prime 4. I played for about five hours and downloaded Prime remaster. Seriously, classical "You and the guy she tells you not to worry about" situation. Where has all the talent gone?

Other than that, I'm having a blast with Wuchang Fallen Feathers. This game has talent in spades. Seriously, I'm amazed how a debut game from a new developer nailed the soulslike combat, it feels better than the actual Souls games. Very excited to see future projects from these guys.

That's all for now, love each other and have a great weekend.

My black portal got delivered yesterday, not had a chance to play properly yet, working all weekend 😢😢

Greetings fellow festive video game enthusiasts. This weekend I’m still Coffee Talking and Shinobiing, fitted in around my annual rewatching of Dumb and Dumber. I like it a lot.

Prehistorik Man on Evercade and maybe NORCO.

More Pacific drive it's my mum's birthday today so won't get a good session in till tomorrow and my B Day Monday so more games added to the backlog 😂

More Arc raiders,EA wrc and Dirt rally 2.0. My raiding buddy wants to try the outlast trials in co-op so I might try and scare myself sh*tless this evening..have a great weekend folks 👍

Got my Yotei Plat this week great game. Got round to finishing off Thank Goodness You Are Here and it is really funny for us Northern UK folk at least.

Terminator 2D for the weekend though and if I get chance some MK Kollection as that arrived yesterday too!!

Happy gaming folks

Cronos New Dawn Platinum achieved! What a game. Top 3 this year for sure.

I’ll continue Arc Raiders and working towards level 75. The grind continues.

Beyond that I’m looking to get lost in either finishing Ender Magnolia, more hands of Balatro, System Shock, Shinobi, or maybe purchasing something new like Sektori. We shall see. Enjoy the weeekend all!

@TimeDelayedGamer Puppeteer, Owlboy, and Journey was and still awesome. Enjoy your weekend good sir 🍻

Going through my backlog.

Playing through Trine and Jak and Daxter: TPL on PS3. The platinum trophies for them are within my sights.

@Chip-Douglas word life.word is born.word to god.word yo your mother.word up son

As a new Switch 2 owner its Pokemon ZA, Mario Kart and Donkey Kong for me.

@playstation1995 Word up everyone say when you hear the call you got to get it underway!

Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo 💁

Getting towards the end of Echoes of the end. It's pretty decent but getting a tad bored of it now.

Ordered the new SpongeBob game. Hoping it arrives today

This is be an Octopath Traveler 0 weekend, just started Ch. 1 of the Master of Wealth.

Happy gaming everyone!

Hello again, y'all! This weekend I'm playing:

Switch:
Animal Crossing New Horizons: same old. Just harvesting crops to get bells that will pay toward house storage upgrades. About a month until version 3.0 launches!
PS4:
Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online: made massive story progress and unlocked several more new areas in the process. I only need one more legendary item until I can finally summon the goddesses and, as far as I know, reach the endgame. All of my party members are above Level 40, but Blanc is level 60 already because I've been using her the most. I might not beat it before Christmas and have to put it on hiatus though 🤔. The Dragon Quest XI fate (my nickname for when a game goes on hiatus, since that game itself is currently on hiatus) is a menace.

I’m killing thugs and stopping conspiracy’s in Phantom Liberty, and Hasta La Vista’ing my way through Terminator 2D: No Fate.

Going through Dark Souls 2 for the first time with a strength build. Did Iron Keep last night which wasn’t nearly as bad as people made it out to be I guess Scholar version nerfed it a bit. Having just enough Dex for a bow made pulling enemies 1 at a time pretty simple. Enjoy the weekend everyone.
