Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 268

Since I'm on a trip: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (NDS) and Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World (3DS)!

On PS4 it'll be Darksiders 3 (need to finish it up). On Switch, Ace Attorney Trilogy.

Working all weekend so not much playing time, however I'm still playing and loving The Witcher 3 but also recently started Red Dead Redemption 2 again. The first time playing it I had plenty of frustrations with certain aspects of its design, so this time I'm going in with the intention of taking my time and soaking everything in and I'm having a great time so far. The world Rockstar have built was never in question and is phenomenal, as is the story but I had issues with how slowly the game really wants you to play it. This time though I am playing it that way, doing a quest before some hunting or fishing out in the wilderness before returning to camp and really taking it all in and I've got to say it's been absolutely brilliant so far. Had I played it like this before I'd have put it much higher on my own personal GOTY list but perhaps still behind God of War (just). So that'll be me for a few months now I think, juggling most of my playing time between these 2 huge open worlds in what little gaming time I do get, oh and maybe a bit of Astro Bot too

On the PS4 front I've just jumped into Farpoint on PSVR, and it's off to a good start.

On the Switch side of things I plan on tackling the lengthy Blaster build from the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit (starter kit).

So a lot of VR for this guy.

overwatch legendary edition.the division.and destiny.so I'm chilling like a villain.with online games.but I in my order if I had to pick out of those 3 games. the division is number 1.destiny number 2. overwatch number 3.all great games.word ☝ up son.

I've decided to replay the greatest game of all time the witcher 3. Had some bad news recently and nothing cheers me up like trekking though skellige

I'd love to play more Phoenix Wright and mess around with Joker in Smash Ultimate, but I'm gonna do the boring, responsible adult thing and study for an upcoming math exam.

Nothing, I have to see my girlfriend. Apparently that's important 😒
All playing aside, I recently got RE2 and have yet to play it, but my monday and tuesday night will be scary hype.

Continue playing through Aqua's story in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. She's definitely the funnest to play out of the trio.

Might also hop onto the Switch to mess with the Stage Builder and play around as Joker. Then I might jump onto L4D2 with a friend tonight.

I may finally beat Assassins Creed Origins this weekend after nearly 80 hours but as I bought the season Pass in the sale it means my adventure is not quite over yet.
Yosh's Crafted World has become a huge part of my gaming life at the moment but unfortunately I'm right at the end of that game too so it's a case of hunting for all the collectibles and pooches.
Other games getting attention this weekend are Final Fantasy XII and Far Cry New Dawn.
Happy Easter everyone!

Waiting for my copy of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth- Hacker's memory

So BioShock on PS3 still for me!

I picked up EDF Iron Rain and I'm having a blast with it.

Final Fantasy XIV and Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World

@carlos82 Well that's really how you play a R* game else you wouldn't appreciate all the nuances and attention to detail. And I'm also enjoying it more on the 2nd playthrough without pressure from the internet to beat it quick and avoid spoilers, I think that's what most people who didn't enjoy it did - rushed through the story and that's it. I'm finding more treasure locations and crafting more.

Plus I'm back to enjoying AC Odyssey after experiencing some sudden loss of interest probably due to too many overwhelming games. It's still fun but RDR2 gets more playtime.

I just beat Lady Butterfly and a couple of annoying mini-bosses including that stupid spear guy at Ashina Reservoir. I'm stoked despite the many, many hours I spent dying.

Update: Just thought I beat Genichiro -_-
This game lives to annoy me.

World war z for sure. Maybe division 2 and or borderlands

After battering Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 2 and Tales From The Borderlands for the past few weeks I'm gonna buy the awesome original and hammer that. Might also finally buy Horizon's The Frozen Wilds add-on in the store sale.

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations is my main focus. I should be able to finish that game today. So far, it's been my favourite of the original trilogy.

Also continuing to do Joker stuffs with Persona 5, and I might also start playing The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask if there's time.

Maybe I’ll have time to platinum Persona 4 Dancing All Night. Some of the hard mode songs are pretty tough though.

Away with poor internet access but I started Katana Zero yesterday on Switch and it is amazing.

Playing shadows die twice have reached the hunter but I’m starting to get the feeling this might be as far as I go haven’t given up yet though. Other than that still playing dangerous driving.

@TheArt yeah that's what happens with me sometimes and when this came out I was already playing Spiderman and God of War plus there were so many others coming out. Now though I'm just playing these 2 and I'm not even contemplating buying anything else until I'm done with them and even then I'll likely be back on AC Odyssey. Just on chapter 2 so far this time on RDR2 but as I said loving every minute of it and enjoying exploring the wilderness, I might even turn that mini map off so that I really have to listen to what people are saying

I'm only gonna be playing Katana Zero on my Switch because I'm working all weekend and don't have much time.

Shall be mixing my time up between Div 2 and the DLC for Assassin’s Creed: Origins, after it finally went on sale.

Happy Easter everyone!!! I’ll be spending time with family so but I’ll get in some gaming time. For PS4 it will be Dead or Alive 6, Ace Attorney Trilogy, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. For Switch, Cuphead and Smash Bros.

Switch - my time at portia

Ps4 - seemingly everything, AC, Wolfenstein 2, Batman, Bioshock etc....

@carlos82 These sweet deals on the PS Store makes us keep piling games upon games with even less and less time to play. Makes you take out your impatience and anger on one. I wanted to pick up Far Cry 5 but I'm like Naah I'm not even done with ACOdyssey. 5 games can feel like 20 games when you're Completionist.

@ApostateMage get ready for FromSoftware-level brutality in The Frozen Wilds haha.

I'm playing this game where I try to not buy a new game and just wait for Days Gone in a week.

@nessisonett lovely game

@ApostateMage love the borderlands series. Although I never played the pre sequel much, should I?

Splatoon 2 - Starting the SplatFest today.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PSP) - Nearing the endgame now

Zombies!!! (Windows Store) - Meh...

Bubble Guriko (Windows Phone) - Still fun.

@Mgene15 If you love Borderlands then yeah you should enjoy it. The story isn't the best but it does give a bit more backstory to Handsome Jack. The new gravity slam and freeze attacks are good additions, though. I thought it was pretty good, especially playing as Athena.

@Mgene15 ehh the pre sequel is definitely the weakest of the 3 main line games. Heck I'd even put it behind Tales. Has some interesting ideas but I didn't find it as compelling as the other 2.

Will be playing Division 2 of course, sprinkle in some GT Sport and some Fat Princess adventures with the kiddos.

Started the last of us for the third time because i refused to purchase anything until days gone dropped! But just found out yesterday ill be working away when its released and as my wife pre ordered it for me and cant play it till the 4th may so once the review drops ill be avoiding pushsqure till then 😂

Kingdom Hearts 3

Thrilled to see all of the Ace Attorney love here lol.

For me it’ll realistically be mainly the new Splatfest with my brother and trying to play some more Joker in Smash. Of course I’d have the week off and then work Thurs-Sat here with these twelve hour shifts right when he releases. I’ve also been bitten by the Persona bug in general, I told myself I’d hold off until we find out what P5R/S will be but I’ve started my second play of P5 in earnest.

Replaying Ucharted 4.....while waiting for Days Gone reviews.

Red Dead Redemption 2 interspersed with MLB19 and Surviving Mars.

The Star Wars IX trailer gave me goosebumps, so now that I'm hyped again, I managed to find time for launching Star Wars Battlefront 2.
And even if I well know all the problems it had at launch (basically EA's suits fault), I have to admit it is NOW a very good game.
The tremendous bad buzz made EA change everything in the progression system - for exemple all the characters are now unlocked right from the start, when you had originally to play hours and hours just to unlock, say, Vador.
What's done is done, and EA did not managed to get the players back in their game. Or not everyone, at least. But for the people who are late in the party, like me, it has now become an excellent title for any Star Wars fan. The campaign itself is very good - intersting story, cool flight sequences...

I like it

More backlog chuffery: Shiren the Wanderer (the vita one); Shadow Tower; TxK; and some speedrun practice with Maldita Castilla EX and Mr Driller G, then a nap I think.

Holy Falcon Age!!!. Anyone with VR not playing this title is missing out. The point and click movement on Move is very refined for the title. And uses a rotation feature so you can go around right angles without a bunch of clicks. Gameplay is great. And i loooove my falcon. Lol

I'm enjoying United getting destroyed by Everton lol
But after that and for the rest of the weekend I think I'll play some more Dreams (amazing tools really), Sekiro, Apex and on VR some Ghost Giant and Falcon Age.

Played Ratchet & Clank for a few hours last night... aiming for my 1st ever platinum trophy... although Fridays event may put that on hold until the winter...
