Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 642

Still roaming the seas in AC Black Flag Resynced and loving every moment of it. The mix of story missions, building your settlement and fleet, hunting, harpooning, exploring, looking for lost treasure or just cruising in your ship singing shanties is just so good imo.

I also need to get Moss - The Forgotten Relic. I've played the VR version which I loved and the game is probably better on PSVR2 but still, its a really good game thats gotten very good reviews on the flat version so I'm playing that one too. But maybe after I'm done pirating.

Have a great weekend!

Well I'm currently just rummaging through right now - just dealt with Flass in Legacy of the Dark Knight, stole the moonshine in RDR2 and just nicely met up with Torres in Resynced 🙂

I sold my Steam Deck OLED and used the cash to put towards a ROG XBOX ALLY X ( as it has Steam too ) and its a fantastic piece of kit. Playing World of Warcraft on it with a controller mod is amazing. With console controls its very immersive and an absolute breath of fresh air. I can see myself getting addicted to WoW on it. Help ....! Its basically a very powerful handheld PC and playing Forza Horizon 6 on it and STALKER 2 on Ultra settings is outstanding.
Otherwise more AC Black Flag on PS5 Pro and trying to ace the First Light Tac Sim missions
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

• Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen (love the series but I haven't managed to play this entry before)
• maybe Sea of Thieves, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes or Hi-Fi Rush, depending on how the weekend goes
• garden work IRL

Happy weekend everyone!

Finished FF16 and Pragmata this week.

FF16 main question was pretty good. Sidequests were mind numbing. 7/10

Pragmata was pretty short but brilliant. 9/10

Today I'll start Broken Sword reforged or KCD (ps5 version).

Today I'll celebrate my youngest his birthday and watch England vs France!

Have a great weekend!

Replaying Doom the Dark Ages. Great game. A shame that the disc only has 75mb on it, but it’s a great game regardless.

Im about 2/3s the way through Kena Bridge of Spirits. Enjoying it but wasn't expecting some of the difficulty spikes.
I might also try and hop on Black Ops 1 for a few rounds of multilayer.
Enjoy the weekend all

I'll be continuing my first playthrough of Bioshock Infinite. I am enjoying it immensely and I cannot wait to get to the highly regarded DLC.

I shall finally be focusing on Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. I'm liking what I've played so far.

I just bought AC Black Flag Resynced and it looks glorious on my ps5 pro.Loved playing it years ago when the original game came out so now I’m looking forward to dive in this world again.

I'm obsessed with Resident Evil 4 remake at the moment. It might be in my top 3 games of all time.

My wife found an old Wii Guitar Hero controller in a thrift store for £1. I've been setting up Clone Hero with it for the last few days. 1500 songs from every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game in existence. It's brilliant.

Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. It's been a while since I've played any games except for a bit of Mario Kart World. Hoping to get back on the Inazuma Eleven Victory Road this weekend. Happy gaming time everyone.

This evening I shall be playing some Destiny 2 with the boys.

Before then I think some Resident Evil 3 Remake and some Granblue Fantasy Relink endgame.

I'm also trying to build up the arsedness to get some boring admin stuff done for a project that needs doing before i get to the meat and potatoes of it!

AC Black Flag mostly for me not done much gaming this week due to the weather. Might also get some Battlefield 6 later and I'm tempted to buy Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined on Switch played the demo last night and really want to continue playing.

I'm at the last chapter of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Should hopefully finish it either this weekend or next week.

I'm about half way through Wuchang Fallen Feathers and loving it tbh!
The combat and level design are top notch, really fun and challenging souls-like with a very interconnected map

Boardgames and TTRPG!
I will try to keep grinding in Hades 2 too.
Probably some fighting games if I catch a friend or two online ^^

Doom Dark Ages on ASUS ROG XBOX ALLY (White) and it’s awesome! Can’t believe such a low spec’s device can deliver! I loved Doom 2016 on PS4 and Eternal on PS5 and for anyone yet to dip their toes, Dark Ages is the first to play 👍🏻

I have set myself the challenge of completing (not platinuming) 35 games in 12 months; a list built with a Chatgpt algorithm i have been fiddling with over the last few weeks

Final Fantasy 16 is done. Now on to Spiderman 1 Remaster 👍

I’ve booked next week off work so I’ll be playing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and it’s also the perfect time to crack on with the Crimson Desert main story. I’ve put about 85 hours into it but keep getting distracted by all the side content.

If for whatever reason I finish both of those I’ll be starting Darkwood. I know it’s supposed to be really good and I look forward to playing it but the difficulty intimidates me 😂

I’ve been working on wrapping up both Mouse PI and starting the excellent Luna Abyss. Beyond those two it’ll be the occasional round in Black Jacket and most likely getting back to Legacy of the Dark Knight if I can.
Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend all!

Tears of the Kingdom: I've spent more time in the Depths than on the surface or in the sky, having mapped roughly three-fourths of it. I'm making progress on hearts and stamina (12 and 2.5 wheels) and have weapons all 60+ so I'm finally ready to tackle the Rito Village quest line. Having loads of fun and will be sorry when it's over.

Finished:

• Zone of the Enders HD (PS3)
  The hours of playing time in the save data showed 3 hours but i felt like i played more than 4-6 hours. Anyway, ZoE probably one if not the best mecha games with great soundtrack that i ever played. Kiss Me Sunlights and Beyond the Bounds are just top notch 😘 . Really reccomend this series for anyone who loves mecha.

Playing:

• Infamous 2 (PS3)
• Muramasa Rebirth (Vita)
  

This weekend i'm gonna replay Muramasa Rebirth and Infamous 2. It's weird that i've beaten Infamous 2 but don't remember the game has custom missions.

As for anime, i'm adding another one to my watching list: Orb: On the Movement of the Earth. I'm at episode 3 and so far i have a great time with this anime.

Have a nice weekend everyone 🍻

@Marquez Balatro will do that to you!! Good luck with your challenge too 👍

I have recently got addicted to Slay the Spire so most of my time is invested into that game. Happy Gaming All

I'm getting it done early this weekend instead of Sunday night like the past couple of weeks, so here goes.

It will probably come as a shock (not really) but Palworld again this weekend. The latest update brought me back to the game in a big way. It's packed full of new content and it's been a lot of fun to start again with nothing. That struggle is a big part of why I play survival games, few other genres really make you earn the basics which makes them a little niche too. As with every playthrough I immediately focus on base-building. All I had was an axe, a lot of trees and a crude sketch of what I'd planned to build drawn on a sketchpad. The foundation went down first and the rest followed.

The build like all builds started to really come into it's own with every new material/resource I found or unlocked. The raids started fast and I was hit with everything from ponies to the oh so deadly Relaxasaurus, don't let the name fool you he can wipe a base if he gets in there and starts stomping around. The Relaxs stormed the beaches with superior numbers but we were ready with superior fire-power. Those are machine gun nests, I'm working on missile defense.

It's been adventure after adventure and I've lost count of how many times I set off to farm a certain material or to capture a certain Pal and then got side-tracked for hours, and come away with so much loot and new Pals. The goal at the moment is to properly furnish my new home, I started in the bedroom and I'm working my way down each of the five floors. It's one of what will be many bases. Soon I'll start to work on one for mining ore, perhaps a farm for crops too. then there's the matter of unlocking the rest of the technology tree, dungeons, the story and capturing the other two-hundred Pals who are running around out there. Or breeding Pals, combining Pals to make even stronger Pals, tweaking traits, basically going endgame. That's about it, happy gaming weekend Folks.

@Ravix You'll appreciate this. He tasked me with finding that and giving it to him. I searched everywhere and couldn't find one to give.

I'll be on pba pro bowling 26 decent fun game to relax and play.
I'll probably dip a toe back into resident evil requiem aswell happy weekend folks 💪

I will continued playing the instant classic the excellent nine sols.i will also continued playing fan favorite the incredible 13 sentinels. I will also continued playing one of the best platforms ever the amazing psy 2.i will also be continued playing one of the best video games ever made in the phenomenal little nightmares 2.i will continued watching the awsome final destination bloodlines. I will watch the world cup.i will watch legendary sitcoms TV 📺 comedy shows in family matters.good times.the Jeffersons.sanford and son.different strokes.martin.the wayans brothers.married with children.and saved by the bell.word up son

I plan to continue my super punishing playthrough of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2! It's fun, but I really needed to look up guides because it's so damn difficult! But I'm trying to push through; Henry wants to t*p Hans, and I'm about to make that happen one way or another 💀

I work weekends but I may dip in to some more Black Flag Resynced tonight for a couple of hours.

@Marquez You mentioned the game recently too and I was really close to reinstalling. I haven't played it since launch day. I started around nine in the AM and it was deleted by about midday. I'd played so much Civilization 6 and every DLC, over and over again conquering the entire planet and each playthrough was fun and challenging. Especially the Eco DLC since it loves to crash on console. I only ran into one or two bugs in the new one but the whole game felt so barren. Also the forced switch really didn't feel like something I wanted to embrace. There was a lack of Leaders too. I think I might have to move it up the list (there is no actual list) I'd love to see the game redeem itself. I was so excited for the game that I even watched the Developer streams but didn't realize they were talking about the future of the game not the current release build. I probably wasn't being realistic in my expectations and I doubt Civilization 6 launched complete either. It sounds like you are really enjoying it and to call it a comfort game is definitely high praise.

After weeks and weeks of starting new games and bouncing off them, I think I may have found my gaming salvation in Sword of the Sea.

Not sure why I waited this long to play it - for anyone who has this in their backlog, bring it to the top of the pile, it's great

I bought a Steamdeck last week and after a few years of activating games on EGS and Amazon despite not owning a PC I’ve installed a bunch of games through the Heroic Launcher.
Currently playing through Arranger and planning on starting Telltale’s Batman soon.
