Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 622

After 81 hrs I finally Platinumed Dragon Age: The Veilguard, would’ve been quicker if there wasn’t a bugged quest which meant I had to do a 2nd play through. Great game!

Currently enjoying the excellent KCD which I wasn’t enjoying at first but stuck with it. Lots and lots of combat training and side quests before I even think about the main story. Clearing the Terry Gilliam esque map from clouds as well lol. Such a deep RPG, I love it.

My copy of Resident Evil Requiem arrived at 9pm yesterday so didn’t get to play as much as I wanted to last night but what little I did play I liked. Looks great and can’t wait to crack on with that over the weekend.

Lastly I’ve started playing Slay the Spire and got to Act 2. Decent game so far.

Heavy metal and Football as always 👍

Have a great gaming weekend Pushsquarians! 🍻

@Zuljaras are you on PRO with the Pisser 2.0? .

I’ll be continuing my paragon 300 grind on Diablo4, made it to 275 last night. I can see the brow of the hill coming up 😆. Also on the 2nd to last map on Roadcraft so more trundling around at a snails pace.

Greetings, good people. Congratulations, we almost made it through the winter. (Looks at the piles of snow higher than my window outside) Almost...

Now onto the games, I'm sure many of you enjoy new Resident Evil while I wait for my physical copy. But even if I got it yesterday, I would still be playing WitchSpring R until I finish it. I mean, I heard it's good, but words won't do it justice. The game introduces you to the most charming, innocent, best daughter in the whole world... and then makes her life miserable very step of the way. Seriously, if in the end Pieberry won't find happiness, I swear I'll <redacted>. Ok, deep breaths...

And I also got true ending in MIO: Memories in Orbit. Very engaging, charming and beautiful metroidvania. Yeah, it's no Silksong. But what is? What's more surprising, that according to the achievements, only 3% of the players finished the game and 2% got the second ending. What is wrong with you people?!

Alright, that's all for today. Love each other and have a great weekend.

Started Hellpoint last night and quite enjoying it. Looking forward to putting a few more hours in and narrowing down on a build. It’s definitely AA but it’s doing a solid job of transposing the feel of the early Souls (DeS & DS1 in particular) games into a sci-fi horror environment.

Platted Spiderman 2 yesterday. Beautiful game but Im getting tired of open world games.

I tried Marathon for an hour but its not a game for me.

Ill try some games this weekend, Dead Cells, RE Village, Silent Hill 2, Still wakes the deep and Test Drive USC and see what sticks.

Have a great weekend!

Dragon Quest VIII Reimagined: I like the diorama-esque visuals that allow you to rotate 360° in the overworld; it's more limited in dungeons, true, but still incredibly helpful. It's also really cool to see how your actions in the past affect the present. Not having a massive continent to explore but many islands instead is new to me, but keeps things interesting. Looking forward to many more hours!

@Zuljaras cool I’ve been watching the DF review and it looks stunning on all platforms tbh

Still playing Ghost of Yotei I'm at 66% according to my PS5 absolutely loving it and don't want it to end. I've also still got Avowed to start but I'll probably hang off until I'm done with Yotei I'm trying to only play 1 open world game at a time.

Goy requiem yesterday. Had a quick blast before but got a busy weekend so won't get much time on it.

So far it looks stunning and runs perfectly. Can't wait to get stuck in to it

Tried Marathon, art style is cool, like it when devs try different looks, played with some 2 others, came out top in the end, reminded me of my CoDMW&MW2 days, where I was always at least top 3 or 5 every session buuuttt it's back to my SPs. KCD1/2, MHWilds, downloaded HZD again, I just want to platinum it being at 80% trophies since forever.

I’m playing Horizon Zero Dawn remastered. It’s a beautiful game. I love games with bows and this one feels great

@Shepherd_Tallon I love nioh. I would like to go back and get the platinums on all 3 games. It’s the best souls game that’s not a souls game I’ve ever played

Carrying on with Demons Souls remake - cant believe i left it this long ! ( though I did complete the original MANY times ) and its as superlative as ever. Love playing as a Royal, makes things that little bit easier, though ive died around 100 times 😅. This game will forever be on my hard drive.
Also playing The Outer Worlds 2 on GamePass and to be fair im finding it a bit of a tedious slog - its literally Avowed in a sci fi skin ( Avowed is better ) which was a fantasy skin of the original Outer Worlds. But my OCD will make me complete it.
Late night gaming sessions will be FF9 on PS Portal ( if I can stop the terrible lag )
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

It’s here! Resident Evil Requiem has been a blast so far. It’s a fantastic homage to what the series is after 30 years. Beyond that spending some time with Crisol Theatre of Idols. What an atmospheric Bioshock meets Resident Evil style game! And of course Romeo is a Dead Man has also been consuming my time. The more I play the more I love it.

Lastly, Arc Raiders has been eating my time as I try to goop my way to the expedition. Happy gaming all!

Absolutely nothing for me for these next two weeks - spending time at the seaside with family 🙂

My single player game is Resident Evil Requiem obviously! It’s not bad so far, although I’m actually finding the Grace sections rather frustrating with a lot of trial and error when it comes to the enemy’s. I’ve died a lot lol

Then it’s some Abiotic Factor later tonight as my group multiplayer game.

Also be playing Towerborne co-op which despite its simple graphics is probably one of the nicest looking games I’ve seen in a while. I just like how colourful and clear it all looks

Quake (SW) - Just sticking to multiplayer for now.

Equalicious (Windows Phone) - Nearly at the end now.

Asphalt Overdrive (Windows Phone) - Need to get back to this.

red dead redemption on the 5pro and some sports jam on flycast.

Been playing Herdling this week so I'll finish that off and keep playing Ball X Pit in the meantime.

Ball X Pit reminds me of Peglin but there's more mechanics at play, pretty addictive!

@ErrantRob I absolutely loved Cistol. So much so I’ve beaten it twice just to get all the collectibles. My only issue with the game was the uneven performance (playing on pro) which I swear got worse the more you played. Other then that I recommend it to everyone!

Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. I'm off to Krakow and I've packed the Switch 2 avec Donkey Kong Bananza. Im finally going to reenact that Switch 1 ad where the guy is playing his Switch on the plane. Hope everyone has a fun weekend/funkend.

This weekend I'm playing Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Having not long played War for Cybertron, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I couldn't resist moving straight onto Fall, which I'd heard is even better. And it absolutely is.

War for Cybertron was a relatively straightforward shooter, while Fall really mixes things up in unexpected ways. The whole thing is a massive power fantasy for any Transformers fan and I love it.

Have a great weekend, fellow Push Squarians.

Finished:
Vagrant Story (Vita)
Finally done with my 2nd playthrough. After more than two decade, my stand for this game still not change. I'm confidently say this is one of the best RPG in gaming history, one of the best game that Square ever made, and it rightfully deserves a 10/10. There will be no RPG that looks, plays, and sounds like this anymore. Salute to Yasumi Matsuno, Akihiko Yoshida, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Hiroshi Minagawa, and the rest of the team for created a masterpiece 🙇‍♂️🫡

Playing:

• Suikoden I (Vita)
  I have this game along with Suikoden II and III on my backlog for years. It's time to finish it.
• Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles (Vita)
• Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (Vita)

I hope everyone have a good weekend. Cheers 🍻

PS5:

I got the platinum for Spider-Man 2. Great game and scratches my collection everything on the map itch.

Singleplayer: restarted Kingdom Come Deliverance. This time investing sufficient time in the combat 😅

Multiplayer: Marathon mainly. As many already know I love the game (shooting is wonderful). On the side some battlefield 6.

I'm trying to play Doom Dark Ages which is so good, I like it a thousand times more than the bullet sponge Eternal (I'd have bought it day one if the demo hadn't been behind the PSN paywall), but I've also had a had desire to replay the Dark Souls trilogy so I've started that. The +5 Black Knight Halberd is making short work of DS1. Cannot believe DS1 is 15 years old now, it's aged (the remaster) but it's still a brilliant game.

I've finally got my Subnautica platinum after 5 years, and went straight into Subnautica:Below Zero. They're my absolute favourite survival/crafting games.

Have a great weekend folks!

I had my Lenticular Edition of Requiem delivered yesterday but I'm trying to get on with Expedition 33 unfortunately I'm finding it way to hard now ( I'm on story mode!)and tempted to give up and start Cronos The New Dawn.
Of course along with Tavern Simulator and Power Wash I'll be busy into Octopath Traveller Zero.
Enjoy your weekend all!

I got my Nioh 3 Platinum earlier in the week so now I am romping through NG+! Got my farming build almost sorted, got some the pieces together for a boss melting build. I do need to figure out what my cut off point is, when I'll unravel Nioh 3 from around my heart and move on... but it isn't this weekend.

I'll also be playing some more Guild Wars Reforged with the lads.

I am so very tempted to pick up RE9, but I still have crimbo games to get through!

On the Pro Resident Evil Requiem. This is probably the most outstanding graphics on a console I have ever seen. PSSR 2.0 is a game changer. Let's hope it fixes the issues with PSSR 1.0 on other games

Resident Evil 2 remake on the pro. First time I've played it and really enjoying it. "What's wrong with you?!" 😂

I also picked up a used portal for £85 so I'll see what that's all about.

I beat Yakuza Kiwami 3 literally while Resident Evil Requiem was installing yesterday so I’ll be playing that one.
Also I’ll be running through another Capcom Belt Action Collection Beat Em Up with an American friend of mine like we’ve done every Saturday for the past 3 weeks now.

I’m continuing with Spider man 2, which isn’t really pulling me as much as the first. Cannot beat swinging around the city though.

Resident Evil Requiem and absolutely loving it. It feels like a greatest hits of the series and a great mix of survival horror and Leon's action, alongside being a showpiece for the PS5 Pro

AC Shadows - Claws of Awaji - I've finished the story content, which was very good and I really enjoyed returning to this game, its awesome imo. Its also story content I feel everyone who finished the game should play, without spoling anything 🙂

Marathon Server Slam - I've played 5-6 rounds and its not a bad game by any means, the gameplay, movement, gun handling and that is very good which is to be expected but then the rest is not as good, UI is a mess and I dont really see myself playing a game like this for very long as I just dont see what would keep me invested in the long run. But its early days and that might change, Im not getting it at release though, but maybe down the line. We'll see.

Other than that, not much gaming this week and next week we're on a skiing trip so I'll be on the Portal but havent decided what to play yet. Hope you all have some tips for me 🙂

Most likely will try out battlefield 6 finally, after having it since day one I am yet to even start it lol

Mostly marathon as it's damn cool but I do have a few rally challenges to reclaim on EA wrc so I need to get those bragging rights back. Have a great weekend everybody 👍

There can be only 1...or in this case, 9.

I'm in my BL era again and thanks to Gagaoolala, I can binge-watch a lot lol. As for gaming, I plan to continue my first ever playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima. Omg Jin is so sweet and calm... why do I fall for the fictional characters lmaoo 💀💀💀

87 hours into Assassin's Creed Shadows and I've only just crossed into a fourth region. This is becoming one of my favourite AC games.

I will continued playing fan favorite the incredible tales of arise. And I will continued playing the instant classic the amazing granblue fantasy relink. I will be watching my boston celtics 💚🖤 🏀 play.my michigan wolverines 💛💙 won the big ten basketball 🏀 championship.i will be watching legendary sitcoms TV 📺 comedy sitcoms in family matters.saved by the bell. good times.the Jeffersons.sanford and son.different strokes.martin.the wayans brothers.word up son

Spider-man Remastered for the first time. 10% in and I'm loving it so far. Snake eater in the game log for soon so hopefully I can make some progress in Spider-man.

After completing the brilliant RE4, I am started the AW2 DLC. The nights springs episodes are batshit crazy but fun

Resident Evil Requiem, of course. Game looks stunning and plays so well. Love it on my Pro
