Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Xmas Edition

I played these games. 😀
1. The Sims Bustin' Out PS2
2. Custom Battler Bomberman NDS

I still managed to finish the missions at Club Rubb for The Sims Bustin' Out.

I have unlocked Area G for Custom Battler Bomberman. Looks like the Final area.

playing the final case of ace attorney:justice for all.

also want to replay the witcher 3 but i'll wait for the ps5 version since it might come with new content.

Merry Christmas all 👍

I've just picked up the assassin's creed Valhalla season pass in the sale so will be jumping back into that alongside some soul calibur 6 with a mate.

Hope you all enjoy the holidays 👍

Judgement, observation and house of ashes.A mixed bag 😄

Playing langrisser 1 & 2 on switch, also just bought the alliance alive hd and neogeo shock troopers on discount. Alliance alive hd rarely discounted so I'm glad I can get it for only $20

Still following interesting side story quests in Cyberpunk 2077. My V thought he could get laid by this one pretty lady but was turned down and embarrassed haha. The unique car interiors is one of the best I've ever seen if not the best. Then it's some online time trials and career in GT Sport. Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to the pushsqaure team and all you on here.

Just bought the Great Ace Attorney chronicles, Grow, NEO the world ends with you and After party off the PlayStation store so will be busy with those ofter I've been to my partners family's house.

Nothing at all today, it's Christmas Day!

I started Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Awakening a couple of days ago, so I guess that'll keep me busy a while. Might convince someone into some co-op Untitled Goose Game too.

Merry christmas! Its all about films today. I've got the matrix resurrections and venom 2 movies to watch plus plenty of munch. Have a good one everyone!

I think I will be starting GotG, I really want to start Disco Elysium first but GotG seems more appropriate for the festive holidays! Then it will definitely be Disco Elysium

Happy holidays everyone & all the best for 2022

The Gunk, Halo Infinite and FFXIV (if I manage to log in)

These plans might change based on what’s under the tree in a few hours.

Kena spirit of bridges, zombie army 4 and freedom wars. Freedom wars finally clicked for me 3 day before online went offline, I did managed to fart out the 3 online trophies and knock 400,000 years off my sentence before the severs went puff though.

Managed to replace my Series S with a Series X so I'll be digging out my 360 disc copy of Driver San Francisco. Been itching to play it for months. Have a good Christmas all!

Finally got a PS5 so it's Deathloop for me.

Glad Yule and Merry Christmas everyone.

I installed the new Ratchet and Clank today but not too sure when I'll start it. I really want to but have so many unfinished games as is. But I probably will because it is a shorter game.

I'll be continuing on with my Horizon Zero Dawn playthrough. Great game so far. I also hooked my PSVR back up so will be finishing up the trophies in The Playroom VR and Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

Also I'm loving Eastward on the Switch as well, really pops on the oled screen. This one seems to be a bit forgotten when it comes to indie gems released this year. One to keep an eye on when it comes to PS.

Playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider and then also a bit of Deathloop and Far Cry. I must say I am salivating at how good a new Tomb Raider game might look! (Please announce one!)

@PegasusActual93 congrats!

Don’t know if I can play much over Christmas due to family, but I’ll try to carry on with lost judgment if I get the chance.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (started playing yesterday and really enjoy it!) with Disco Elysium next.

@Constable_What I loved Control, never played it on the Pro just the PS5 and it is probably my favourite game of this year!

@munkholt Snap

Currently I am far from my PlayStation celebrating Christmas with family, so I bought binding Isaac for switch and I enjoying it a lot.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year guys!!
My Mrs. bought me a Series S so I'm downloading 'Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite as we speak but God knows when I'll be able to boot them up ...maybe tonight when everyone's in bed if I'm not too drunk ( which I will be ) and will trying Back 4 Blood on GamePass too
Have a great time y'all

If I have time I'll be getting to the final save of my Dead Space 2 hardcore run.

Apart from that Merry Christmas to you all 👍

@Constable_What Yes mate what a game, I haven't played Alan Wake but it is under the tree so I am hoping this will be as enjoyable despite its age. Enjoy buddy & all the best 🎅

Thankfully, nothing this year. I finally get to spend Christmas with my parents and with my lovely partner.

Surviving the In-Laws 😂, no PS5 as I'm at theirs but took the switch through. Will be lucky if I get a shot though as my wife and niece will hog it no doubt!

Have a good day everyone.

Aussie christmas is over now but merry christmas to those who are celebrating it today (or whatever else you may celebrate)

I will be continuing my playthrough the Infamous series, just platinumed the first and am now in the last 3rd of Infamous 2 and can I say, this game is just a staggering leap from the first game. It does everything a sequel should do, improving and adding onto the original. The gameplay is massively upgraded, with more variety in abilities. The graphical style change is gorgeous, the framerate is actually stable and hits 30 fps more than the original which hit mid teens to low 20's constantly. They actually gave Cole an actual personality and I'm enjoying the dynamic between him and the new characters introduced. Right now I'd give infamous 1 a 7.5 out of 10 (game hasn't aged very well) and I'd give Infamous 2 a minimum 9/10 as the traversal and combat is really fluid and holds up extremely well. Good gaming and have a happy new year everyone😁

Santa (the Mrs) is working this morning so waiting for a copy of deathloop this afternoon when she's back

Probably a bunch of Halo Infinite w/ some Fallout 76 and possibly Pokémon Crystal at some point.

after finishing Locke and Key season 2 I'll be tucking into Disco Elysium and Undertale

Merry Christmas!

These games are getting played on this festive day -
AC Valhalla
Control
KOA Reckoning
GTA Online

P5R for me, a bit of Asteroids thrown in at some point over the holidays, not today day as leaving for the in laws soon 😐

Tempted to pick up one of FIST, Cyberpunk or Kena in the sales, maybe two of them...

The excellent Ratchet and clank . funny. Excellent story gameplay is wonderful.the g.o.a.t 🐐 👑 best game ever in god of war.kratos and atreus duo is legendary.gameplay is legendary.story is legendary also.graphics is the best on ps4 pro and ps3 best rpg ever now remastered for the ps4 in ni no kuni wrath of the white witch remastered.still a legendary game with a amazing art style. Excellent gameplay. And a really amazing story.watching good times.the Jeffersons.martin.saved by the bell. My 💛Pittsburgh Steelers 🖤 is playing on national 📺 tv here in new york tomorrow .merry Christmas playas.word up son

If I play anything it will be Watch Dogs Legion, where the stealth method of controlling events while hovering on a construction drone is proving to be quite fun or maybe Saints Row The Third, after being told it's much better than IV. I'll probably stick to food, wine and the new Bond movie though 😀

@Anti-Matter Sims Bustin Out is so good, my favorite next to Sims 2!

PS5: Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Hell, I normally dislike FF games because I don’t like the combat system but FF7 Remake got me hooked. Probably because it’s more action-oriented than most FF games.

XBSX: Mad Max. Hidden gem, really. Having a blast so far, surprisingly good. I’d never heard of the game before picking it up for peanuts.

I'm about to finish FF7 INTERmission. And after that I might finally pick up either Hades or Death's Door.

I finally got hold of a PS5, from the latest Very stock drop - it was an anxious wait on Wednesday as the delivery passed the window given to me by Royal Mail. It finally arrived Wednesday afternoon.

So this Christmas it is Ratchet and Clank and FF7 Intergrade.

If you know me I'm playing FFXIV , it's been great finished the new story now just getting geared up for the savage raids that drop in 2 weeks.

Besides that been playing games that are easy to jump in and out of; Apex Legends, MK11, and just bought F!ST so hoping it'll be good.

If I do some gaming, probably be a few mins on the Switch playing the Christmas stages from 'Great Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams'... if I am feeling Nostalgia and have time, might play some of the C64 'Hollywood Pack' games I got for Christmas, many years ago.

The new Super Monkey Banana Mania and Persona 5 Strikers. Got those for a gift for Christmas.

It was a videogame kind of Christmas this year.

• Kid 1 - Animal Crossing DLC
• Kid 2 - Lilo and Stitch DS game
• Kid 3 - Hot Wheels Unleashed (PS4)
• Wife - Spyro Trilogy (Switch)
• Myself - Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5)

Sadly, I work 12 hours a day for 5 days straight and Christmas is included in that shift work.

It feels a bit weird listing what we're playing today since it doesn't feel like a normal weekend, but I'll be continuing my 2nd playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn that I started a couple of days ago to get ready for Forbidden West. It's been a very good reminder of why this was one of my favorite games of the last generation.

Merry Christmas to all!

Loop Hero has me utterly fascinated on Switch
Once I travel back home this evening after a long car ride I’ll also tackle the final battle in Chorus on my PS5, make some progress in Death’s Door, and I have yet to touch the Halo Infinite Campaign on my Series S so that will be given a go.

PS5 F.I.S.T and Lost Judgement. Series X Death's Door. Switch Ender Lilies, Eastward. Has anyone played Neo The World Ends With You?

Playing the perfect christmas game. Spider-man miles morales. (It’s heavily themed around Christmas and set during Xmas)
Besides that probably guardians of the galaxy, xenoblade chronicles definitive edition and forza horizon 5.

Was able to secure an Xbox Series X. Replaying Halo Infinite on that and the difference between playing on a base Xbox One is gigantic. Will also start Forza Horizon 5.

Happy xmas all..i've spent the afternoon playing battlefield 2042 and i must admit that the portal mode is really good fun and probably the closest we will ever get to another bad company game (shame on you EA 😤) and i installed ac valhalla too seeing as amazon had it for £20..i couldnt resist..

I started Death Stranding Director's Cut at the beginning of the week. I'm actually enjoying it a lot more then I anticipated.

As someone that holds MGS 1-4 really close to my heart but was disappointed with MGSV, I'm glad I gave DS a shot.

Seems fitting that a majority of us are in isolation and seclusion, I'm hitting up the classic "Until Dawn". Very Christmas'y vibes it is, it is.

Still working on Ghost of Tsushima. Once it is done, Sackboy or Miles Morales, after I make a final attempt at the remaining challenges in Infamous FL.

I'll be playing my brand new PS5 for the very first time later today, after work and visiting with family and friends. First game? Astro's Playroom, of course!

@lolwhatno

That’s actually Naruto’s father Minato!

I’m traveling for the holiday so no games for me this weekend. I’m reading Dune instead. Merry Christmas!

@WCB
Was a nightmare to get but Walmart of all places pulled through

I've done the mistake to start ffxiv endwalker 3 weeks ago and I spent more time than I should've. Anw I'm currently doing pandemonium raids but after this I'm taking a long break from gaming. Playing mmos is like paying a police officer to throw you in jail.

Merry xmas everyone!
Im visiting wifes family in cyprus so strictly on the Switch:
Steamworld Dig
Am hooked on this one, on last third but am scourging earlier stages for upgrades before pushing to the end.

Phoniex Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Have started thr 2nd ep of the first game. Really enjoy the humor and branching dialogue. Am pretty new to visual novel genre...but this is great in portable form.

@Deadlyblack you echoed my thoughts on both. Gameplay for MGSV was great, everything else pretty subpar. Enjoy DS, its a divisive game, but if it clicks with u (as it sounds like it has), its one of the most satisfying gaming experiences out there.

@ThorsHammer There's so much stuff in MGSV that makes me go "ugh" and roll my eyes that soured my experience with it. I agree the core game play and super refined stealth were great.

After seeing and hearing so many opposing views and experiences with DS, I'm actually glad I just sat down and went in with an open mind.

GoTsushi
Happy holidays!

Merry Christmas or Happy holidays. I'm looking at my never ending pile of unfinished games and looking to continue with Rage 2 and finally start life is strange.

While the kids were putting some my Lego together me and the wife played some more a It Takes Two. Will also play some more Kena tonight although I’m not sure my reactions are going to be great after some wine 😆

I actually managed to get a ps5... So I'm just redownloading everything I played on PS4. The first game I tried was genshin impact and holy crap the difference is crazy. So so much more beautiful and smooth and the load times are way too fast for me lol. It genuinely felt like I was playing a different game from the PS4 version. Looking forward to playing that astrobot game too

Merry Christmas to all.

Nothing says Christmas like battling through a plague of rats in 14th century France. 😉

Think I'm on the final chapter of the very good A Plague Tale. Grim setting but strangely beautiful at times and some really memorable characters. I think "Acky Duck" is the cutest and most wholesome thing I've heard all year.

If I do finish this game tonight or tomorrow, I'm going to be replaying that big bright bundle of sunshine that is The Last of Us Part 2. It's time.

Watching the new matrix film & final episode of Hawkeye. Whilst I’ll be playing Returnal and replaying the gears of war 3. Merry Christmas everyone👍🏻

I’ve been enjoying PGA Tour 2021 for some relaxing downtime. It’s been a nice change of pace from my usual masochistic taste in games

We had Aladdin on the sega megadrive today. Then we went on to Mortal Kombat 2. The nostalgia was immense then we rounded up with a couple of hours on Fifa 22. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and wishing everyone here a great 2022

Figgy pudding to all, although I’m not sure I’m doing any favors since I never had it, lol.

Playing Fallout 4 GOTY for the first time. Not sure this is the wisest choice since a certain virus (ahem) is turning everyday life into a different kind of apocalypse.

Also watching Vigil on Peacock, a British murder mystery on a submarine.

Enjoy your obsessions and peace to all!

Finished Deathloop and The Ascent, now playing Halo Infinite campaign. Merry Christmas.

Gta 3, little hope. Patientslly awaiting elden ring

I'm in the last couple of hours (I hope) of TLoU2 so hopefully I'll get this finally done this weekend. I might also progress a bit further in Steins;Gate 0, wich has been phenominal so far.

Far cry 6 on Ps5. Loving it 👌

Still slogging through Dark Souls 2. I say slogging, but I'm still loving it. It's just so looooong. I'm up to the Ivory King expansion, so plenty of snow in a nice bit of still-not-very-Christmassy-really synchronicity.

Also started playing R-Type Final 2, which as a big fan of the series since about the age of 12, I've been really looking forward to since I got it. So between those two, lots of death for me this Christmas!! 😳🙄😂

@GalacticBreakdown awesome mate, sounds like a dream Christmas. I felt exactly the same with regards to the PS5 dashboard & whilst I still don't like some aspects going back to the Pro for VR stuff the old dashboard feels really dated & those
in game load times, I dread to think how much of our lives were wasted on load screens 😂 SSD all the way! Enjoy 👍

@weR1youR2Podcast how is Chorus? seems to have gone under the radar but what little I have heard has been positive and I'm tempted?

Mahjong by Microsoft (Android) - Daily challenges and puzzle packs as usual.

Bad Piggies (Windows Phone) - Finally at the end of the game.

Tiki Towers (Windows Phone) - Still playing here and there.

Got gifted the PS5 (disc version) for Xmas!! 😍
Along came 2 games, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart & Spiderman: Miles Morales.

Up until now, I only played R&C and some AstroBot.

Needless to say, I'm lovin' it!! 😎

@Mostik chorus is up there with Returnal for my GOTY. It’s about 15-20 hours, with a fair platinum, and some of the best space combat I’ve played in years.

@weR1youR2Podcast Thanks dude, picked it up yesterday and can't wait. Great news on the platinum, I was hoping it would be achievable. Just on the plat run for GotG then i'm onto Chorus 👍
