Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 221

LET'S GO LIVERPOOL!
LET'S GO LIVERPOOL!
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!

Anyway...I got a gift and it was Detroit so I guess I'm playing that ahah I tried it for a bit and ended up killing Connor the first time you play with him lmao

my first blind playthrough of detroit become human. and of course it's a big champions league weekend, where i am of course referring to the handball ehf champions league final 4, where there's not a scouser in sight.. can the minnows from vardar, beat the powerhouse of PSG for the 2nd year in a row.

Fighting my way through Darksiders Warmastered. Not exactly a fan but it has its moments. Boring environments though, sheesh.

Also got ME: Andromeda from the latest sale for 8 euros. Finally going to see how it is when I find the courage to start it.

Nice to see your staying strictly impartial as usual London Red Sammy , I've seen a few bitter blues wearing Real Madrid shirts around Liverpool today !

@get2sammyb anywhere south of Lancashire , you all sound the same !

Ha! Listen to the jelly little bitter Manc.

I'll be playing Detroit, watching the mighty reds hopefully lift the european cup and watching the glitz and glamour of the Monaco GP. I'll also be, erm, continuing my playthrough of Andromeda.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Switch. Detroit on PS4- which I'm absolutely loving and FF6 on Vita whilst I watch Madrid lift their 3rd consecutive Champions League Crown and 4th in 5 years.

Hala Madrid!

Detroit ! 🙂

Well, I'm likely not watching socc- er, football since I don't have cable. Or playing Detroit, because who would I be if I played the current release?

I'm actually recovering from being sick with a summer cold all week. I'm almost done with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, so I've got that as well as my usual Tekken, and I'm also close to finishing The World Ends With You on DS.

Finally, frigging finally defeat the valkyrie queen sigrun, now I can platinum god of war in peace.

Also playing god of war ghost of sparta on vita and donkeykong country tropical freeze on switch. While dk tf switch is $60 on western country, here in asia it's only about $46, which is great price for a port

Still playing through God of War. Will also find some time to play more of Detroit: Become Human. I played the opening chapter for each of the 3 characters in DBH and it was a lot of fun. First time I've really been interested in seeing where a QD game goes. I'm sure there will be some eyeroll moments when it comes to the story but the setting is very cool (no such thing as too much cyberpunk for me) and there's a lot of backstory scattered throughout. As a big sports fan I really enjoyed some of the stuff I found in Kara's first chapter.

Despite being absolutely hyped for Detroit Become Human i decided to hold off until I platinum Beyond Two Souls...which may never happen but I'm trying.
God Of War is also still a big part of my gaming life at the moment and it looks like I still have loads to do which is a good thing..the not so good thing is trying to find all the Eyes Of Odin Ravens...So frustrating when you hear them but can't spot them!And unlike @wiiware I haven't managed to kill one Valkyrie yet let alone all of them! (good job by the way)
Also still having loads of fun with Jak X Racing and Tiny Metal for Switch.

If I get any free time this weekend I'll keep playing Yakuza 6.

Resident Evil Revelations (Switch) - I played it on 3DS when it first came out, but having it in HD is nice, and the motion controls on the Switch version are really neat. As ever, I think it's a great balance of classic RE creepiness with the more action-oriented themes of later RE games.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape (PSOne Classic on PS Vita) - I've never played a 3D Rayman game before. Overall, I don't like it as much as other platformers from that generation such as Spyro, Klonoa, or Banjo-Kazooie, but it's still a fun time. Really makes you appreciate the faster and more stylish Origins/Legends, though.

It's a weekend of H1Z1 and Infamous Second Son for me! Both games are alot of fun!

Surely the real final today is Sarasons v Exeter. In terms of gaming not sure, we’re half way through the rugby and Sarasons are winning and I’m a few pints into the match. Tend not to play if I’ve had a drink as my coordination goes quickly with a few pints of fighting juice in me. But Sunday should be good for some chilled gaming.

Watching the finals and cheering Keylor Navas, the best tico goalkeeper of all time!!

Last night I beat GoW. Amazing game all around. Gotta keep doing sidequests. Gonna go back to Splatoon 2 tonight now that the splatfests are over. Also more KH BbS.

Got my ass kicked by the Queen Valkyrie so I might mop up all else. Also playing counter spy on Vita and may try and get some VR time.

@get2sammyb "are we going to have to endure a decade of the scousers banging on about how they won the Champions League again?"

As a scouser who hates football, I am going to be gutted if they win. I really could do without the crap that goes along with a big win, and reduces the city to a standstill.
Saying that, I'm off to see Deadpool later in what's likely to be an empty cinema. Swings and roundabouts really.

Anyway I'll be playing a lot of dark souls remastered this weekend. The fiancée is away watching Steps (I know.) So I've got the house to myself, snacks and beer.

have just watch nantes beat PSG in the semi-finals of the handball champions league.. what an epic game. gonna go back to detroit for a couple of chapters before the second semi.

as for the footie, i'm a man u and barça fan.. so how do i hope for no winners in a two team game??

What is this "Foot Ball" you speak of, pray tell?

I'm actually at home this weekend, and didn't expect to be, so I'm picking through a lot of random bits and pieces. Finished the campaign of Star Wars: Battlefront II and am dipping into some of the PS2 Classics from the same franchise, whilst the mood has hold. I may also start a Mass Effect 3 playthrough tomorrow.

God of War. I wasn't sure at first, but a few hours in and it's starting to reek of GOTY. I've had to open a window.

Oh and sorry @get2sammyb but I'll be getting behind Liverpool tonight!

PS4- Street Fighter V, Persona 5, Tekken 7, and WWE 2K18
Switch- Mario Kart 8, Arms, and Bayonetta

Very slowly working my way through Detroit as my PC and WoW gets most of my attention.

Not much gaming for me this weekend. I got roped into going to a stag do, so I've just got back from paintballing, a little bruised. Later on will undoubtably involve plenty of drinking games.

Loving the picture of the Rangers manager.

I finished Ratchet and Clank 2 and now I'm on Up your Arsenal. Has anyone else noticed how freaky big Ratchet's hands are in those games?

Maybe just maybe finishing the main quest in Ni No Kuni 2 and getting further in Nier Automata, slightly OT but I watched A silent voice last night. I highly recommend a great Anime!

Continuing forward with God of War. Had a mind blown moment earlier this week and I can’t wait to see the rest of the game! Also, overwatch for the anniversary event.

I really want to play Detroit, but I have such a backlog that I can’t justify spending the money right now 😭

I got Dad of Boy and a SNES mini for my birthday so have been playing those. Only at the very beginning of God of War. It's very nice looking!

Hopefully watch Villa beat Fulham for the playoffs, I’ll be watching the champions league after that as a neutral. Gaming wise it’ll be some Smite, God of War and Dark Souls Remaster

@b1ackjack_ps do you play xcom 2 on ps4 or PC? If it's ps4 how does it hold up?

God of war. I've been attempting to do some of the side stuff, but its pretty hard and I've been getting owned. So I guess I need to beat the main story and then work on side stuff.

@kyleforrester87 jesus kyle 🤣 i guess the word 'creep' totally embodies Ronaldo, and this is coming from a Real Madrid fan...

@Wazeddie22 You can wait until you finish the game and getting good equipment, level 8 should be enough to defeat all of the valkyrie except sigrun.

@get2sammyb I won't cry cause I'm not a particular Liverpool fan...just today 😂

@get2sammyb well there you go, Karius did most of the job -.-
Ridiculous

I think I’ll finish Inside and play some Bloodborne. I think I can smell the end but I want to mess around with the optional areas.

@AFCC well that was a painful night. Poor Karius. And I’m never reading another article from @get2sammyb, at least not until the pain goes away...

@kyleforrester87 Me he is from the same country as my mom Portugal Madeira 😁 RONALDO is King. 😉😋

@NecuVise It plays but the loading is long and damn horrible optimization.

Well Deadpool 2 was ace and the reds done goofed. What a great weekend!

@Kienda He was so dumb but I felt so bad watching him cry but still asking the fans to forgive him...and them chanting, powerful stuff!

At least we can all agree that Manchester United did not win anything and that's just perfect 👌

That was the craziest game I've watched since Germany stuffed Brazil at the last world cup

bale's goal.. worthy of winning any match, imo.

I’m playing ‘At The Mother-In-Laws’ for the weekend, so no actual video games for me. But the husbear, who’s not into video games, is working away from home during the week, so I’ll catch up on God Of War...with a few fruity ciders (On a school night!!) whilst he’s orff ☺️

Finished arkham knight and have dark souls remastered loading now. I've been out for a wedding and am pretty wasted,!! I'll catch the champ final highlights tomorrow.

I've got an Xbox GamePass trial from a package of Chips Ahoy cookies so I was playing State of Decay 2 but I've already moved on to Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I’m playing Detroit become human and dark souls remastered. Detroit really did deliver imo and is easily quantics best game yes even better than heavy rain.

@b1ackjack_ps @Flaming_Kaiser is it any better on ps4 pro? These are some sad news. Well, seems like I'll have to buy a dedicated GPU to play some strategy games.

It's totally chaos here in my country right now, that's why I didn't receive my copy of Detroit: Become Home.

I'm still playing Yakuza Zero and what a great game.

Edit: Real Madrid has 13 Champions League titles now, fck!

Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, my 2nd favorite "Castlevania" game.

Still trying to not cry with tears of laughter after last night @get2sammyb

Bit of destiny2 other than that a bit of a quiet one

A lot of footy fans not exactly covering themselves in glory today. I can understand being angry at your own players, I've been there myself... but some of the abuse aimed at Karius through his social media accounts is utterly disgusting - and the worst is from Liverpool "fans".

Detroit was bloody fantastic

@bbtothe Have you finished a playthrough already? I'm only just at the part where Markus finds Jericho and so far it's been brilliant. I love how open and varied some of the path choices seem when you see the flow chart after each chapter.

@ApostateMage I finished last night man, did it in 4 play sessions (one was pretty short). There is an crraazzzyyyy twist later that completely shoook me, like getting goosebumps now when I think about it again hahahaha. 100% plan to do a full run through again and after that check out more endings/choices. Your right tho, brilliant game and I love too checking out what the rest if the world did and comparing its quite interesting, I want more of these!!!!
