The nights are drawing in and the weather is getting colder, but the release calendar sure as hell is heating up. There are a metric ton of titles on the horizon, and we’re battling to get on top of them all. The question is: how are you keeping up?

You better believe I'm still polishing off Dragon Quest XI. I rarely go for 100 per cent completion in games these days but with this one I just can't help it. Naturally, I'll throw in some FIFA 19 as well, but I think that'll get binned if Liverpool don't beat Chelsea later today.

My main focus this weekend will be on the Blue Bomber himself as I get acquainted with Mega Man 11 ahead of my review. Elsewhere, I want to take my chances on the SoulCalibur VI beta test. The challenge: defeat one other person.

Before I face the sleepless nights of college life, I will mount my horse and attend some unfinished business with some colossi in Shadow of the Colossus.

Spending this weekend with a collection of my usual culprits like Rainbow Six: Siege and NHL 19, but also making room for SUPERHOT VR which I've been meaning to play for quite some time and hadn't gotten around to.

I still want to spend more time with the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle, I've been enjoying it so much. I figure that if the 1997 arcade game Battle Circuit was released exactly as it is, but as a brand new pixel-art indie game today, it'd still be well received on its individual merits.

I'm just sort of waiting for Assassin's Creed Odyssey to release at the moment, so to pass the time I'm mopping up Trophies in Marvel's Spider-Man and diving head first into FIFA 19. If Frank Lampard can't get Derby County into the Premier League, I most certainly can.

I finished up The Gardens Between by scooping up the Platinum Trophy then went back to BioShock Infinite. As I have a small break from work right now I’m going to try and clean up my backlog, but with how much I’m loving BioShock Infinite I doubt this will feel like a chore.

On the PS4 front I will be wrapping up Marvel's Spider-Man, grabbing some extras waiting till New Game+ arrives. Nintendo Switch wise I will be playing the fantastic MOBA Arena of Valor as well as Octopath Traveler.
What will be keeping you busy this weekend, then? What games are you planning to play? Let us know in the comments section below.

I'm going to finish Timespinner. Then I'll play something else probably.
More Spiderman this weekend. I also want to play more Fire Pro Wrestling, I've created a ton of wrestlers (and downloaded a ton too) but haven't really played the game much; I need to fix that
Just working through Nier Automata and being pleasantly surprised by it!
Some more MHW. 😁
Might finish Spidey off this weekend. Depends on how long it takes me to get the gold on some of these challenges.
Spiderman for me.
I was going to finish off Shadow of the Tomb Raider but I'll be pubbing it instead until they sort out the artefacts/collectibles and 100% completion bugs.
I should try out that Soul Calibur beta. Other than that I’ll get in Street Fighter V, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and maybe Capcom Beat em up Collection for PS4.
I'm playing SoulCalibur 6 for sure. I'm having a lot of fun with it and the mechanics are great, surely. Is it balanced? I have no idea, I'll leave that verdict to more seasoned players.
Also, if I can I'd love to play some more Lara Croft Temple of Osiris. It's a lot of fun in co-op, and a great way to get myself even more hyped for playing the real Tomb Raider game next.
DIY day today, but tomorrow I'll return to the continuing adventures of Llama Croft...
...she's the one on the right, by the way.
I've also been dropping in and out of James Bond 007 in... Agent Under Fire on PS2. I'm always amazed how original they made 90% of leftover assets from a cancelled The World is Not Enough game really feel. Very fun, quick, over-the-top action in short blasts.
Hollow Knight and Pes 19
Going to finish off Nier Automata. I'd like to do the few remaining side quests I missed, do some of the easier trophies (I'm not going to bother trying to get the platinum), then I'll replay the ending and be finished with this wonderful game.
I've recently started playing GTA 5 so I'll play some more of that. Also I know next to nothing about SoulCalibur VI, so I may as well try out the beta.
Ni No Kuni 2 while I wait for AC: O.
Just spent a few days up in London to see Kylie at the O2 sightseeing so gotta squeeze as much gaming time in as possible before I'm back to work tuesday.
Ps4 : Spiderman.I may even plat it the way it's going..
Dragon Quest XI. Wow I missed playing this game so much!
Switch: Xenoblade Chronicles 2...this game just goes on and on...and I'm fine with that.
3ds: Its a long time since I played anything on this but I finally dug the system out after @turntSNACO and @Ralizah recommended the Etrian Odyssey games too me and although the game I went with (Untold:Millennium Girl) isant what they suggested...I am loving it!Cheers guys.
KINGDOM HEARTS, i'm going through the games again in preparation for KHIII in January i'm nearly done with KHI and have already done Dream Drop Distance, A Fragmentary Passage, 358/2 days and Re:Coded and now it's just Re:Chain of Memories, KHII and Birth By Sleep left to go
i'm also doing my normal thing of NEVER changing the Keyblade
a complete Kingdom Key play through (you even get a trophy for it)
I’ve just finished up all the Cabaret Club missions in Yakuza Kiwami 2. Now that I’m disgustingly rich it’s yime to wrap up the main story.
Maybe I’ll go back to Persona Q, but the final floors are just no fun. I’m tempted to just look up the ending... .
I played Detroit for the 3rd time to sweep up some trophies and unlocked more story paths that I've never seen before. I made Connor die 8 times in the game to get a trophy. I also watched the bonus documentary vids on the music composers of the game. Absolutely brilliant. I think Cage knocked it out of the park with this one.
Hollow Knight and DQXI
Well I was going to try out some soulcalibur but match making is atrocious. Surely I can't be the only person in the UK so bloody find me an opponent!
I'm having trouble finding matches in the SoulCalibur VI beta too, and when I do find one, it can get pretty laggy.
Enjoying GOW III Remastered more than I thought I would actually. A tight linear experience with some fun boss fights.
I have lots of great games to play this weekend...Forza Horizon 4, Spider-Man, FIFA 19 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. What's more, I now have a week off work!! Good times
The Soul Calibur beta is really poor. I wish they allowed you to invite friends as it takes a very long time to find opponents.
This beta and Tira being DLC makes me think I'll be better served waiting for a sale on this game. It's not a full game to me if I have shell out money to be my main.
Yeah, I'm definitely going to get my fill of this beta and then wait a few months. This game is not ready to come out yet. Not by a long shot.
@RogerRoger Such a cool gif...makes me wish I had time to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider!!! I’ve got it installed and ready to go, so I’m partway there...
More Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I’ve completely lost myself in Paititi. They weren’t kidding about the large open world hub. I’ve spent hours running around in there. But I think I’m far enough into this game to say it is much superior to Rise of the TR, a game which was plenty good in its own right.
@Constable_What At least your main is the game! I’m lost without CASSANDRA, although I kinda like the way Sophitia plays this time around. But yeah, I hate it when my main is DLC, especially when you go over to someone’s house and they don’t have them. That’s why I try and have 2-3 mains in fighting games now.
Continuing with Dragon Quest XI and shall start Metal Gear Solid 2 later this evening.
@AllHailQueenBoo Sounds like your opponent didn't know how to Reversal Edge.
@keihtg I guess that's true, but I still hate it!
Getting back on my PS4 after neglecting it pretty much all year for various reasons but im back home now and here to stay 😉. My first port of call is Spiderman, so I'll be on that all weekend
@AllHailQueenBoo Savage.
I think what I like about Soul Calibur is that it isn't all about the 'trickery'. There's a lot of it in there, but you don't need it to win a game. I can't speak for this game yet, but what I found appealing was the fact that it was about timing.
I can see how more experienced people can write this game off as 'less deep' or anything, but for someone who's not that great at fighters, it at least means I can participate a bit.
Okami HD. I've pretty much only had time to watch the opening cut-scene so far, but that was enough to get me excited for playing this beautiful game again.
In between watching Europe beat the Yanks in the Ryder Cup!! and watch the two big Serie A games and the Madrid Derby (so much sport!!) I’ll be playing some FIFA 19 which I got this morning, some Smite and Rocket League as usual and maybe some Mafia 3 or Mad Max. I’m really only playing the latter to kill time till AC: Odyssey which I’m really excited for
Still playing spider-man, fisk construction site cleared, location/landscape photo cleared, continuing the main story.
Still playing A Hat in Time and it's really challenging for my surprise.
Maybe I will start Dragon Quest XI too.
Talking about the PSX again, Sony should definitely make the event this year even without the conferences, many people are disappointed that will not have this year. It's great for Sony gamers to gather, play games (including demos) and gather items like cards. Anyway, looks like Sony gave too much credit for the haters, including some of the gaming media.
GT Sport, Ride 2, and Project Cars 2. Picked up F1 2018 last week and will hopefully give that a spin as well. In my first race I did "a Leclerc" and ended up 7th with the Sauber.
My weekend starts on Monday, where I'm planning to jump back into my replay of Red Dead Redemption, as well as get back to Spider-Man before I lose track of where I was in the story.
I've also got FIFA 19 and Forza Horizon 4 vying for my limited time. Feel like I say this every week: there's still too many good games!
@keihtg Thanks! I couldn't not capture that moment. Enjoy it, and the rest of the game, when you get around to it!
@Th3solution Ah, you've arrived at Paititi, have you? Best of luck tearing yourself away from there to continue the story! I'm currently there in New Game Plus and I'm enjoying it more than I did first time around. I've spent a couple evenings just wandering about!
Dragon Quest XI. I think I'm at the part where some things are gonna happen. Either way it is an incredible game. The music does eventually change once you make it to different towns. So that and maybe Yakuza 6.
Cramming for exams and a little bit of TWD final season, second episode...
Having just platinumed Spider-man, I may take a little breather before the DLC and head back to Dark Souls 3
@Enuo I picked up timespinner but haven't play it very much yet, its seems pretty good, how are u liking it
SC6 beta is so so so good. Game feels fantastic! Also going to get back into Deus Ex MD as well as a bunch of retro goodness on the switch!
Persona 3 Portable was recently on sale and my soul wasn't doing anything for all eternity anyway, so off we go!
Yakuza Kiwami 2, Spider-Man and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Mostly Tomb Raider because I think I'm very near the end of that one.
DQXI and Hollow Knight night this afternoon once i get rid of my nieces, watching 2 of them for a weekend is a great deterrent for not having kids.
Starting ac rogue to gear up for odyssey with some far cry 3 on the side
I have been playing Throne of Lies for a while and it is awesome!
If anyone was curious, I completed my challenge. I successfully defeated another player in the SoulCalibur VI beta, playing as Zasalamel.
I'm in Cala Pi on the island of Mallorca but when I get back tomorrow I intend to crack on with HZD , did about first 30 mins a couple of weeks ago. Spend more time these days reading about games than playing them. Pushsquare has been the very best for years now.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I had this problem as well. Once match in what felt like 20 minutes of trying. Gave up.
@Shellcore yeah I had the same issue. Finding player then connecting player then back to funding player. Managed to get about 7 games in total. Good game tho so will grab it and do some single player before hitting the online.
Late reply but I've been playing alot more Spider-Man, hoping to be done with the game by tonight, but I'll probably still be playing by Tuesday...need to 100% everything lol.
