Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 619

Dragon Age: The Veilguard mainly all weekend. Absolutely loving this game after thinking it was just ok. Also didn’t realise it was BioWare who made it as Mass Effect 2 is one of my all time favourites so that’s why it eventually clicked with me.

And after proving to myself for the umpteenth time that alcohol does NOT cure the common cold, I’m going to suffer most of the morning until my coffee kicks in.

Football as always as well 👍

Have a great gaming weekend Pushsquarians! 🍻

Plain and simple: it's classic Tony Hawk 3+4 time

Arc raiders and kingdom Come Deliverance 2 🎉👹

No change for me this weekend. Almost finished with Red Dead Redemption, and continuing to play Patapon on my PSP. I'd forgotten how much fun Patapon is, even if it is a bit of a grind-fest at times.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Started Ultros yesterday and will continue it today.

Tomorrow more Kcd2 and I am going to see Ronker. Their new lp released last week and its fantastic.

Have a great weekend!

@Onearmbandit yeah, I also greatly enjoyed it. It was such a surprise to me that I'm thinking about Playing Inquisition if it's anything like it.

Bravely Default Flying Fairy: The job system and combat fun but where this series truly shines is its holy-*****-a-saurus plot twists. It seems like a standard "save the world" plot but things get... bonkers about halfway through and you get a whole new perspective on the plot and characters. It's wonderfully weird and all the more memorable for it.

Managed to beat Halls of Torment two days ago and now I'm trying to unlock everything else and get the remaining trophies. Such a great game. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoyed Vampire Survivors.

Resident evil 7 for me.

Also tried and really enjoyed the Pragmata demo

After 2 weeks on a cruise then the whole family being ill, it's nice to get back into some gaming again.
Just finished Tomb Raider Legend PS5 version. I've never played this before on PS2 but it's aged very well. Definitely a game of its time but still some classic old school Croft shenanigans- some puzzles really stumped my old brain has ha.
Gonna restart and replay Metroid prime 4 Beyond and attempt a speed run. I really like this game. Yes it's outdated in it's design, it's a game from the 00s and I understand the criticism but im just a sucker for Metroid games. Some fantastic boss fights too and the ice level is superb.
Will also get in some online bouts of the brilliant new brawler 2XKO...will no doubt get my ass kicked !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

2nd playthrough of the legendary Baldur's Gate 3 with the masterpiece Karlach, can't say this enough, Karlach is just one of the best characters of all time! Still continuing the adventures of Henry in KCD2. Plus some CP2077 and MHWilds.

On the Pro Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined. My first Dragon Quest was 11 Definitive Edition on the Switch and I loved that. Im also trying to finish Silent Hill f

@Onearmbandit ..i think we are the only 2 people who loved DA Veilguard. Those specific character questlines are utterly brilliant. So well written

Finished forbidden west 100% platinum so now onto Roadcraft. Really enjoying it besides the annoying pop-in. And naturally more Diablo4 grind

I will be getting the last few trophies for Diablo IV. As I have now reached Paragon 200. Then will need to find a new game to sink my time into. Always the hardest to find a new game, after sinking over 100hours into a previous one. Happy Gaming All

Hoping to finish the Nioh 3 demo this weekend. I've got the full game coming, but I want my free hat, damn it

In a attempt to break the warm comfort blanket spell of replaying games that I've been under, I've made a return to AC: Origins, of which I was only a few hours into. Love the setting and the feel is silky smooth. I've been playing a lot of PowerWash Simulator too, so no doubt some of that nonsense too.

Have a great weekend and happy gaming 👍

I'll mostly be playing Octopath Traveller Zero on the Switch,absolutely loving this game!
I'll also continue with Power Wash Simulator which seems to have no end..
Finally I recently started Expedition 33 and I'm probably the only one but...what the hell was the hype and fantastic reviews about??I absolutely love these kind of games but I really don't understand all the fuss.The battle system is excellent but over all its just ok.
Enjoy your weekend all

@LiamCroft any chance of a poll on these threads? I’ve been asking for it every week. Can’t be that hard to try it out for a week and see if it works for you guys, like with your sister site Nintendo Life

@Zuljaras I'm at the very beginning of my Origins journey, any advice? Have fun with New Vegas friend 👍

I have Expedition 33 but unsure when to start it as I’m so busy. I don’t feel like I want to dip into it for 15 mins and want some decent time to begin. So Im at a bit of a loose end for gaming.

I did the weekly races on GT7 last night, it has dragged me in again after the Christmas update and gifts. The rest of the weekend free time will be Skull and Bones.

Still playing Silent Hill 2. Great game. Happy gaming weekend everyone!

i’ve been playing games that i started and abandoned in the late 2010’s, completed botw and rdr2 recently so now it’s the vanilla version of dragon quest xi turn.

@KingPev Agreed, the writing is phenomenal.

Got split fiction to play with the wife. We’ll see how she likes it.

Shin Megami Tensei 5 for me, and going back to FF7 remake for the 3rd playthrough

Hopefully be able to play and finish Indivisible.
Probably some sf6 too ^^

Gravity Guy (Windows Phone) - Still wading through this, some brutal levels though tbh.

Equalicious (Windows Phone) - I have a such a love/hate relationship with this game. Sometimes I really like it, but right now I really hate being stuck...

Asphalt Overdrive (Windows Phone) - I can get this running about half the time. When I can race, I'm enjoying it.

Finish off Rogue trader

@naruball I think I tried it yonks ago but like Veilguard I wasn’t really feeling it. Which means I may try it again too 😂

Except for trying the Pragmata demo, which is very promising but I'm a bit concerned the hacking while fighting gets old fast, I've paused all other games and only been focusing on:

Fallout 4 - I've been continuing my journey through the wasteland and I'm a bit surprised that I'm enjoying it as much as I do, given the the game suffers from a couple of flaws and imo is weaker than 3 and NV. I think one obvious part of that is that exploring the wasteland is awesome, but also that I dont remember all the details of the story or the different factions, and I have forgotten many of the side quests too and some of them are pretty good and that makes it all feel fresh. I'm at the end of the main story/stories (doing all the endings, then the platinum) but I havent decided which end to stick with. Probably BoS 🙂

will try the Little Nightmares 3 demo on portal, i might buy the full game later now when its stream and play

I'm going to finish Ghost of Yotei. I'm 63% through. Just taking my time and enjoying the world and side activities.

Started RE4 and loving it so far.
Have a great weekend everyone

Still trying to get the platinum for Borderlands 4 and I've downloaded Undisputed and Fallout 76 so maybe give 1 of them a try later because I'm getting a little bored of BL4.

I will be playing the wonderful cocoon.i will also be playing the terrific neon white.i will also be playing the awsome death door.and i will also be playing the outstanding ultros.i will be watching my 💛💙 michigan wolverines playing.i will also be watching my boston celtics 💚 🖤 playing.i will be watching legendary sitcoms TV 📺 comedy shows in family matters.good times.the Jeffersons.sanford and son.different strokes.martin.the wayans brothers.and saved by the bell.word up son

My single player game at the moment is Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. I’m enjoying it but I find some things really annoying. Poor hit detection, the jump button sometimes stops working and a couple times I’ve been hit by something and flat out died even though I have gems.

If I finish that I’m gonna move onto Killer Frequency which I’ve been wanting to play for a while and for £3.99 you can’t go wrong!

I’ll also be playing Wayfinder co-op with my brother. I went into this blind and I’m rather enjoying it. It looks really good and the combat is satisfying. Only negative so far is the performance isn’t amazing in the bigger areas with frequent stutters.

Then later tonight I’m gonna be starting Abiotic Factor which I’m excited for.

Today I'm bouncing between Dicey Dungeons, Crow Country, Art of Rally and Time Recoil. Might have a round or two on Killing Floor 3 as well.
Or I may just watch a load of Winter Olympics and some footie.
Have a good weekend PSPeople.

I've been playing:

• FF X HD on PS3 / on the way to Djose Temple.
• Vagrant Story on Vita / just came out from Snowfly forest. After all these years, this game still looks very stylistic and fun to play.

Square old games not just they age well but they also have very high replayability compare to the new ones. Man, i really miss Squaresoft...sigh, if only they didn't merge with Enix.

Enjoy your weekend everyone 🍻

Playing some Hades 2 - still absolutely loving it, I just think it's a fantastic evolution of the original. By my count I've got a couple more runs to do before reaching the "ending", although I imagine I'll be playing it for a good while longer afterwards!

Nioh 3 and it’s going to be that way for a while!

I started playing Art of Rally on PS+, and it is a bit frustrating and slightly boring, but I will finish the career mode.

Also Trails in the Sky First Chapter which I have finally started. Some GT7 too as usual.

Finished death stranding 2 story and i absolutely loved it. On to the final chapter now and grinding out for the platinum

New fem shep run through Mass effect trilogy on my steamdeck. Or Valhalla on PC mixed with some ACC, and maybe dust the PS5.

I bought Ninja Gaiden Ragebound last week, will finally crack it open this weekend. After Tales Of Graces overstayed it's welcome I need to play something which values my time lol

I'm having a racing weekend I think. I'm going to jump into forza horizon 5 as its been a while and all the talk about FH6 recently has made me itchy for some good old arcade racer fun. Have a great weekend folks 👍

@KingPev count me in i enjoyed it as well

Hades - nearly there, escaped 8 times.

Witcher 3 - what a game.

Finally met the beautiful, yet rookie-ish cast of Trails from Zero. At the end of chapter 1, but man the few call backs to previous games is fun.

Besides solving crime around Crossbell I will be bringing passengers from country to country in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Still can't believe I'm simming on my PS5🥲. Great times to be a gamer.

Have a great (gaming) weekend everyone!

Ghosts of yotei im playing on not really feeling it yet need more time i know ill love it when it clicks i loved the 1st game and playing on forza as well on ps5 incredible loving that game

84 hrs and still enjoying Octopath Traveler 0 I have the Dragonquest 7 Reimagined demo installed but haven't gotten around to it. And it's Superbowl weekend, hope the Patriots lose. Have a great weekend gamers!

@Dan12836666 ...ah hello, welcome to.our club ! 😂😂

Much to my surprise, my clearance sale pick-up of Fatal Fury City of the Wolves is proving to be rather enjoyable. Noodling about at single player content for now, probably won't go online with it.

Absolum has been parked until the big update hits next week, though in an epic case of "one more run", I've finished it for the first time with Brome. Only Cider left to finish it now, and I popped a trophy for successfully visiting every level in the game.

Picked up my save last year from Fallout 4, which is actually the only Fallout title I've rolled the credits on (back at PS4 launch). It's the GotY, I'm level 45, so debating starting either the Far Harbour or Nuka World expansions.

Decided to re-roll a Dark Souls 3 character. Have sped my way to the Ashes of Ariandel expansion/Cathedral of the Deep. I actually managed to push past those and get to Farron Keep without realising, so I backtracked. The level design is still immaculate, and dare I say the bosses are more fun than Elden Ring's as they're designed to be tackled solo (ER is the only Fromsoftware game that I ever requested some jolly cooperation in due to how cheap some of the bosses are).

Banging on with AI Limit to reach the end so I can get back to Nioh 3. I also am working on Art of Rally which I’m really enjoying. Beyond that I’ve got a backlog of started games I’d like to also work on.
