Crikey, where did that beaming ball of fire sitting in the sky come from? It’s absolutely roasting this weekend, so there’s never been a better excuse to close the curtains and lounge around in your underpants. You might want to point an extra fan at your PS4 Pro, though – it’s going to get noisy in this weather.

I just can’t really settle on anything story-related right now, so it’s going to be Madden NFL 20 for me. I find Madden Ultimate Team needlessly convoluted, but you can bet a Super Bowl ring that I’ll be spending my entire weekend burning Training currency on my purple Saquon Barkley.

I’m taking advantage of the three day weekend and putting some serious time into Trails of Cold Steel 2. I’m still on my first playthrough, but the aim is to get the Platinum before the third game is released.

To celebrate Sony buying Insomniac Games during Gamescom week, I'll return to the glorious 2016 PS4 remake of Ratchet & Clank. I've plenty of Trophies to hunt down – using the Groovitron on every enemy for Death By Disco rings a bell – although I'll most likely go nuts with the RYNO instead.

This weekend I will be continuing my Borderlands tour de force with Tales from the Borderlands on the PS4 which I started months ago but haven't finished yet. On the Switch I will be checking out the Dragon Quest XI S demo.
These are the games keeping us busy, then, but what about you? Let us know which titles will be taking up your time over the Bank Holiday weekend in the comments section below.

On ps4 I'm playing megaman x collection, I swear there’s delay between dualshock 4 and the game, it’s only about 0.1 - 0.2 second but it really throw my timing of, I can see the enemy bullet but I’m always too slow to evade it, I never have this feeling when playing other ps4 2D games like dead cells, spelunky, and castlevania sotn.
Edit: What the heck, after I search about the lag, it seems ps4 version of the colection is really laggy, like 3 times more than the origina snes version, that suck
On pc I'm playing sunset overdrive (got it from gamepass) plus gears 4. I already try sunset overdrive a couple of months ago, I don't like it because it's so choppy on my pc (compared to destiny 2), but after I upgrade my pc playing it at 60 fps is pretty fun actually, I think this game will sells better if it’s ps4 exclusive, the traversal in this game is fun like infamous 2nd son, spider-man still have the better traversal system though.
After 8 years, I finally upgrade my pc, bought a new razer keyboard, asus 27 inch 2k monitor, and nvidia msi 1660 ti twin frozr vga card, plus 2 years xbox live gold with $1 gamepass ultimate pc so I can play ‘free’ microsoft 1st party games for 2 years at 60 fps and 2k resolutions. It kind of amazing though when I run gears 4 benchmark it says my pc is gpu bound, meaning my new $370 vga card is causing bottleneck for my 8 years intel core i7 cpu.
It seems I still don’t like playing games with mouse, decades ago I like playing fps/shooter games (like gears 4) on pc with mouse, now I think playing games with mouse is some sort of torture lol. Still, using xbox wireless gamepad for playing gears 4 or sunset overdrive with 2k resolution and 60 fps is pretty sweet.
Also, xbox gamepass store on pc is absolute joke, it’s the slowest gaming store I ever experience, and this couple of days I can’t even download my gamepass games, it just say error 08000xx.
Continuing my journey around Ancient Greece with Kassandra. Also getting the extra gold for the daily challenges on RDR2 online.
Might get some more done on Persona 5 or Division 2 as well. Why do I play so many huge games?!
After finally finishing the fabulous Dragon Quest XI after an impressive 200 hours, I've picked up No Man's Sky again for some more grinding. When I'm sick of farming for materials to make more materials, I'll chill out ìn the blissful online world of Red Dead.
On PS4 I'm going to be playing Resident Evil Revelations 2 which just arrived today in the post about 30 minutes after I'd finished the demo's/chapter 1 Raid mode content using Gina with a bit of Claire and Jill on the side
Having finished up Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu on PS1 I'm just booting up the sequel Jade Cocoon 2 on PS2! Been ages since I played this
I wasn't really sure, but since you put it in the thumbnail, I think I'm going to play Ratchet and Clank.
Mass Effect on PS3 Sometimes you just fancy some yesteryear Bioware goodness!
If I happen to get any gaming time this weekend, I'll make more progress in Bloodstained.
Just started Erica , hopefully that Platinum is easy.
Mostly Fire Emblem Three Houses on Switch, with a few other games on there. As for PS4 Street Fighter V and Samurai Shodown.
The Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition demo on Nintendo Switch. Also, SUPERBEAT: XONiC and Fire Emblem: Three Houses on the same platform.
I am thinking of digging into one of my PS+ games, though. i've never played an inFamous game, so I'm thinking of starting with inFamous: First Light on PS4.
Got the week off work and I'm so looking forward to finishing some of my backlog off Assassins creed and Metro Exodus. First though I will be continuing my journey with Forager
I bought a Nintendo Switch a couple of days ago. I won't be touching the PS4 anytime soon. Not until PES2020 comes out. I. The meanwhile I'm playing guacamelee2 and Mario vs rabbids. Loving them both!
Mostly GTAO, too much fun. Yakuza Kiwami just got annoying - stuck at Mijima - why? Because Kiryu's side step is awful, it's like he's glued when Mijima starts his combos, can't dodge, awful scripting. So I went back to finding cultists in AC Odyssey where at least side stepping works in its satisfying combat. Then some more elite sniping in 4. Tried Wipeout Omega...meh I could find more fun in GTAO's Transform or Stunt Races.
the legendary evil within .i l💖ve that game.classic survival horror game .word up son
well now my training is finished i actually have time to play some games so i think i'll just pick back up where i was on FFIX, got that card tournament to do
Friday the 13th: The Game - Ultimate Slasher Edition (Switch) - This game is my total guilty pleasure right now.
Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition - Still continuing my island seed.
Microsoft Flight (Games For Windows) - On the tail end of the Let's Play I've been slowly chipping away at.
iBlast Moki (Android) - It won't seem to let me redownload from the Play Store...
Hexic (Windows Phone) - I like the Xbox 360 version better, but this will do.
Undertale....at first i was like, really? But its pretty special. There is just something about it...
After a few months hiatus from AC Odyssey I’m back into it now. Am trying to finish the 3 DLC episodes before Greedfall comes out in a few weeks (my next RPG time sink). Have finished Days Gone, but am now mopping up the hordes to try and get the platinum trophy and the exclusive theme. Also some F1 2019 and DiRT RALLY 2.0, and from (bank holiday) Monday, Wreckfest.
I wanted to say the samd thing as I said on nintendolife but between that post and this one I managed to finish yakuza 3 on ps3 so...
I begin with either portal 2, ratchet and clank a crack in time, neverdead, lollipop chainsaw or overlord raising hell edition.
Doing a bit more of the side mode in Dangaronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, and plenty more Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Probably will also find something new to play from my backlog. Also will finish off Layton Brothers Mystery Room, I've just got the last case left to do in it.
Still playing Knack and Sekiro. By now they're merged into one game in my mind. Knackiro.
Remnant: From the Ashes, really enjoying it so far but some of the difficulty spikes are ridiculous for a solo player. I'm no stranger to hard games but this feels flat out unfair at times. That said I'm liking it enough to keep at it for now.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on the XB1 and maybe some more Metroid Prime if I can face the heat in my office.
So the usual games that I've been playing for Months/years..Assassins Creed Odyssey,Octopath Travellor and Zelda Breath Of The Wild plus Dragon Quest Builders 2 BUT now I have something new to start : Collection Of Mana for the Switch which came early as well as Yakuza Zero which I started last night.
I'll also be trying to grab that Fire Emblem theme on 99 Tetris.
Tipping at Gran turismo 5. Also playing God of war on PS4. Trying to watch a couple of movies at the same time. Not enough hours in the day.
I’ll be attempting to dock my ship in Elite Dangerous, I hear they say 36th time is the charm 😉
@KratosMD Yeah I'm not big on online games but I agree entirely,I think this Tetris 99 is absolutely worth the price of the online sub alone!And to think I never even used to like Tetris.lol
Then again as much as I love it I'm also absolutely rubbish at it..in all the time it's been going I think 11 is the highest I have ever reached...now my average is in the fifties!
Gotta love that Gameboy theme
@Ralizah I’ll be curious to hear how you like Infamous First Light. It’s been a while since I played it but I really liked it. It may take some getting used to the controls dropping in there; I can’t recall if there is good tutorials in it. It is much more bite-sized than Second Son, so if it whets your appetite then you have that game to look forward to.
Speaking of, this weekend I’m playing some Marvel’s Spider-Man, which definitely feels inspired by Infamous. Despite the gameplay ideas being unoriginal, it is still a lot of fun and I am enjoying swinging around NYC.
And I also will be switching off my time with Valkyria Chronicles 4. Man, this is a fun game too. Very reminiscent of the first game, which is a good thing. I’ll post more on the forums.
Bit more fallout 4 (I feel like decisions about who I help in quests are starting to be more meaningful) and later on, some portal for the first time. I finished Edith Finch last night, great story on the whole, only one story really didn't add up for me.
That Death By Disco trophy from Ratchet & Clank is a pain in the butt because there’s no way to track your progress on it. Basically just Groovitron every enemy you come across before you kill them, and don’t forget enemy types you run into only once per game (The tentacles that come out of the train vents on Kerwan, for example).
It might be helpful to know that your progress from Death by Disco DOES carry over into new game+ from your original playthrough, so you dont have to get every enemy type in one run. However, if you start a third game as new game++, then your Death by Disco progress will reset, so get it done within two runs. You’ll have plenty of chances.
Looking to finish the final few chapters in Judgment.
Hyper Light Drifter on PS4. Absolutely loving the combat and it looks so good, great game.
Thinking about starting Iconoclasts on Vita.
Dobutsu Shogi World PS4 !!! Gonna finally learn shogi.
Visiting family so playing some old ds and gamecube games they have
I'm on the 2nd battle of chapter 15 in Valkyria Chronicles. Really enjoying this game.
I just started Tekken 7 and I'm having a blast!
I think I may get Noctis and Negan, though I'm against paying extra for characters.
@deepspace5d Thanks for your response after I mentioned in this WAYP about the Death By Disco trophy in PS4 Ratchet & Clank, especially when you advised that "if you start a third game as new game++, then your Death by Disco progress will reset, so get it done within two runs."
I have just booted my old Ratchet & Clank save from 2016, and it is part way through a second New Game Plus playthrough of Challenge Mode.
My original plan was to take my time and perhaps move on to a third playthrough later on, so your guidance is very much appreciated, because I need to focus on the Death By Disco trophy during my second run now.
I can't actually remember how much I used the Groovitron when I originally beat the game in 2016, so I'm just going to have every enemy I meet boogieing with the Groovibomb this time around, and I'll backtrack to find missed enemies on other planets if necessary.
Cheers again, you have actually saved me potentially wasting time on this trophy, particularly if I had kept to my original plan of having more than two runs.
@JamieO Glad I said something useful for a change! Nobody wants to waste time on a trophy, I’ve done that many times. Take care.
