Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 620

Dragon Age: The Veilguard still as going for the platinum. Need to start other games in my back log but really want to finish Veilguard first.

I tried the Pragmata demo and it wasn’t for me unfortunately. When I first started it up I was getting Vanquish vibes but soon realised the hacking/shooting wasn’t my cup of tea.

Beer,Films, Heavy metal and Fa cup Football all day too 👍

Have a great gaming weekend Pushsquarians! 🍻

I finally finished with Red Dead Redemption last weekend. What an incredible game. That ending... at first I wondered where they were going with the story, but when the conclusion finally came, it hit hard. I think it's going to stay with me for a long time.

After completing the epic RDR, I decided that I wanted a good old-fashioned linear blast to cleanse my palate. I plumped for Transformers: War for Cybertron... and it's just what Ratchet, er, I mean the doctor, ordered. An absolute blast (both figuratively and literally).

As a child of the 80s, Transformers is one of the fondest things from my formative years, so I've been playing through the campaign with a big stupid grin on my face the whole time. Playing as Megatron facing off against Omega Supreme? My inner child did a back flip 😃

I'm almost finished with the campaign now but I'll be launching straight back in again this weekend to play as some of the other characters. It's just a ton of fun. I might even see if I can persuade my daughter to play the campaign co-op with me... though it's probably not really her thing.

Also continuing to play Patapon in my spare moments when I'm not fragging Cybertronians.

Have a great weekend, carbon-based units.

Expedition 33. The more I play the more I like it. Can get a real sense that the people who made it are real gamers who love to actually play games.

Forme I’m playing yakuza kiwami 3, need to get go back to dragon quest 7 to finish off post game hopefully I can get both these games finished off before resi 9 🤞 to many games atm, I’ve put off nioh 3 till after then

Got a bit of a free weekend so planning some relaxing gaming after a busy week, so will finish my 2nd run on Hard mode on Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. Like this game a lot, despite its MANY flaws, and I mean many. But the bosses are fantastic though.
Will carry on with Final Fantasy 9 PS4, my favourite FF, with the best characters - roll on that remake ! 😉
Me and my daughter will play the lovely Sonic Racing Crossworlds a gem of a karting game, better than Mario Kart World - there, ive said it.
I'll also look at Blazbue Entropy Effect on GamePass !
As its Valentine Day, there'll be a meal for two later - ill be stuffed after that ! 😉
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

I will be playing dragon quest 2 hd and maybe Lego horizon with my fiance. I brought her silent hill f she got be donkey Kong so loads of options have fun 😊

Finished Kcd2 laat week. One of the best games i have ever played.

Ill continue and finish Ultros this weekend.

Also starting Kcd ps5 version.

Also got 50 euros from my wife for Valentine. Im tempted to buy the new God of War game.

Have a great weekend!

I Will be getting the Platinum for both Psychonauts Games.

Slowly making my through Assassins Creed Origins. I haven't achieved much as I'm spending so much time in photo mode. Also, still lots of PowerWash Sim on the side, with The History of Egypt podcast as an accompaniment.

Have a boss weekend, all and happy gaming 👍

Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. My dad surprised me with a Switch 2, which I am in the process of setting up as we speak. I'm excited to play Mario Kart World and I also ordered Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4. What a time to be alive!

@Eduard_Brenton ...enjoy Metroid Prime 4 ! It's great

KCD next gen update

I like to have one single player game, one Saturday night group multiplayer game and a co-op game on the go at a time so I’m playing

Killer Frequency
Abiotic Factor
Reanimal

i’ll be chugging along in my platty quest in the vanilla dragon quest 11, beyond that nothing.

Dragon Quest I+II Remake: Obviously starting with I and it sure feels weird having only one party member. The story also flows quite quickly, with my having already done about one-third, including three of the ten bosses. It's quite satisfying to return to Dragon Quest, from the sounds of walking through doorways to discovering unexpected items in pots and on shelves. The Hero is given a surprising bit of depth with his relation to Erdrick, and the people you encounter such as Robbin 'Ood or the fairies are quite memorable.

On the Pro Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Silent Hill f. Also playing Kena bridge of spirits after the reveal of the new one. On the Ps3 Im playing WET and Lollipop Chainsaw

Will continue a bit of my KCD1 playthrough with this new upgrade. Then it's back to KCD2. Definitely one of my favourite franchises. Been playing a lot of MHWilds too, yknow MH never gets old.

Easy answer: the push for Cyberstan continues, need to spread Democracy, Cyberstan must fall.

I'm playing:

• GoW II HD (Hard diff) on PS3
• GoW: Ghost of Sparta HD (Normal diff) on PS3
• Yakuza 3 (Hard diff) on PS3
• FF X HD on PS3
• Vagrant Story on Vita

Have a nice weekend everyone 🍻

Just started Ghost of Yotei I'm about 13 hours in and I'm really enjoying it so far it's stunning looking so I've been taking loads of photos.

Im on Nioh 3. But my copy arrived late ( thanks Amazon). Im addicted to it. More than 30 hours in already. Enjoy all slices of it. Even on that Coop, helping other ones for hours already. My GotY and one of the best games this gen.

I thought I'd finshed Tales Of Graces, but it turns out there was another whole chapter you access from the title screen. I should've known better, the first ending felt too complete & everyone knows jrps have a least 3 cop out endings before you get the real one.
You know what, bugger it I'm playing Ninja Gaiden Ragebound instead, it's been taunting me from the shelf since I bought it.

I will continued playing fan favorite one if the best video games ever in the incredible absolum. I will also continued the instant classic the amazing hades.i will alsobe continued playing one of the best indie games ever in the awsome rogue legacy 2.i will also continued playing the phenomenal hollow knight voidheart edition. I will be watching my michigan wolverines 💛 💙 basketball play.i will watch the nba all star.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

Doom The Dark Ages Rather enjoying this so far, much more than Etental. The dragon bits seem superfluous, and really missing those Mick Gordon tunes. Still great though.

Absolum Time to jump back in now the big update is out.

Shinobi Art of Vengeance A fab game let down a bit by the overly long levels. I also encountered an issue where I hadn't beaten a boss on an early level (because the game let me "finish" the level without doing so), and I was blocked from progressing later on. The game never communicated this to me, and it took a bit of Googling to find out WTH happened. Poor, poor game design.

Dark Souls III Enjoying my re-roll much more than my initial play years ago. Fromsoftware really have some of the best level design in the business. Dare I say the bosses in this are much better than a lot of what's found in Elden Ring too.

I’m currently playing V rising, and I’m enjoying debating where to build my castle of prisoners…….I mean, well paid servants who are allowed to go outside. I don’t think I would pass a health and safety inspection in its current state - but who knows, maybe they really would like how my statutes and pillars are placed like a maze.

I've given Tainted Soul a break for a week because I was feeling a bit burnt out after 150 hours and I've still got most of the 3rd area and all the DLC, so I've swapped to the Pacific Drive DLC. It's a bit impenetrable, but I'm starting to click with it. It could have really done explaining the new mechanics better though (replace all the panels with attuned ones, then use the resonator to charge them up when you find wrecked cars out in the world).

Oh and still Subnautica because it's awesome

Have a great weekend folks!

Ive Just bought AC Shadows for £25. Playing in Japanese/Portuguese with subs and no HUD. Pretty good so far and it looks gorgeous.

Trying out some demos on ps portal

Got seriously back into Helldivers 2. Having a blast with the new update. Then also cleaning up the last trophy for Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Just need new game plus for the platinum. Happy Gaming All

I'm determined to finish Octopath Traveler 0! I'm 97 hours in and just completed the Bestower of Power arc.

Not much today as out all day but when I get to the new 2d god of war and Cronos new dawn now it's been patched

I've just started Act 2 of Expedition 33 and despite my rather negative impression last week I have to say the game has started to impress me and I'm now enjoying myself..(still don't understand the hype though)
Been mostly playing octopath Traveller Zero on my Switch.Absolutely loving this game!

@ApostateMage Hell yeah, the immersive mode is so much better!! I saw the English dub on the internet, and it can't compare. It's a Yakuza/Like a Dragon situation.

Very good game, quite beautiful. Naoe and Yasuke are great characters. Just played last night, this product is packed with things to do hehe

I'll mostly be playing Ghost of Yotei. I like it, but I'm wanting it to end so I can move onto something else. I'll also be playing Abiotic Factor and Reanimal in co-op.

Bought the Wreckfest PS5 upgrade so going back to that as really enjoyed the game on PS4. Also playing the Sinking City again, Jedi Survivor for the first time.

Retro-wise, it's Shadowgate via the 8-bit Adventure Anthology and the original Sonic the Hedgehog via the Origins collection on PS5. Will probably play some SEGA Rally on my Saturn, the game never gets old for me.

I've finished and platinumed Fallout 4 since last week, and I've enjoyed it more than I expected. Part of that is that it finally runs good with 60 fps and no lag or super long loading times, it was pretty bad on og ps4 when the save files got big. I also played the Far Harbour DLC, which was very good. Last time around I had to give up due to the suffering it put my poor ps4 through. Now I'm really hoping the next Fallout game focuses more on the story and side missions and exploration, which are the strong points of the game imo. Also hoping we'll get the remasters of Fallout 3 and NV sooner rather than later so I can get lost in the Wasteland again 🙂

High on Life 2 - We've resubbed to Game Pass Ultimate as me and my son both wanted to play this and he also wants to play Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar so I figured its worth a month or two of GPU. Anyway, the game seems pretty good avtually, I'm not far in but I've gotten the skateboard which makes gameplay more fun, the art style is great and the humor is more of the same which is also good (although very dependant on your kind of humor). The performance on the Series S isnt the best though, its not a stable 60 fps but close, but the image is very blurry and glitchy etc and its annoying. Still, the game is fun and the FPS is stable enough to make the game enjoyable so I'll stick with this version 🙂

Nioh 3 and I love it! Many games will be sidelined now in the coming weeks. But I need to find time to try the Warlock DLC I bought for Diablo 2 Ressurected.

Beat Lies of P. Now looking for my next game to play.

How are Sektori and Sons of Sparta?

I’m on a play through of Rise of the Tomb Raider. Will also play Sonic Racing Cross Worlds.

All about Nioh 3. It's so good

Any spare moment I get this weekend will be on the fantastic Nioh 3. Everytime I don't think they can add more depth it throws a new, interesting system/feature/area at me. Its probably the most customisable and adaptable soulslike I have ever played.

@cainhurst94 I had hundreds of hours in Geometry Wars 1, 2 and 3 back in the day so I was super keen to jump into Sektori the moment it released but I am just really really struggling to click with it. Maybe its that my reactions aren't the same nowadays as they were 20 years ago so your mileage may vary!

Nothing.
Weekend with a friend, in the country.
Just lots of food and terribad jokes you can only laugh at with your bros

Ended a toxic three-year relationship, so I decided to replay Life Is Strange: True Colors. It deals with grief and trauma, and it's my comfort game lol.

I took down the final, final boss in Trails Into Reverie last night - not as hard as the Cold Steel 2 final boss, but it definitely tests your team's depth and ability to strategize with as many as 24 different characters. A fantastic send off.

Two weeks until Requiem - I'll be playing some other horror games to whet my appetite. First up will be Daymare 1998 which I nabbed off of Amazon for $6. I will also continue my way through Control and may dip back into another RPG that I dropped like Romancing Saga 2 or Metaphor ReFantazio.

Have a great weekend, everybody.

@Divergent95 Good enjoy and take your time to process everything. True Colors is great game

Oblivion Remastered:
Got the platinum this morning (#106) and started the Shivering Isles. It's still a lot of fun to play but it's kinda shocking that it's still this buggy and broken 20 years later.

Returnal:
Finished a run of Ascension, beating the final boss, need a couple of collectables now to see the true ending of that hopefully it's not as much of a pain as the main games were.

Other than that I'm not really sure where to go I have DOOM 1+2 to start and I picked up Kingdom Hearts 3 for £6 but I'm not sure I wanna go in for something so long with RE Requiem just over the hill. GOW Sons of Sparta is also pretty tempting.

Trying to wrap up AI Limit so I can fully focus on Romeo is a Dead Man. It’s been fantastic so far, but I also loved Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw, so I know what I’m fully in for there. Honestly, the Push Square review here was a bit harsh by comparison.

Otherwise I’m finishing up preparing do the Expedition in Arc Raiders and working my way through a second playthrough of RE3

@Divergent95 at least your out my dude, things can only get better

After today's outside workout, my gaming mission is to finish the 2nd playthrough of Silent Hill 2 (under 10 hours + other endings).
Have fun everyone!

I traveled back in time so I'm playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 on the PS5 and God of war: Chains of Olympus on PS3.
