Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 288

FFVIII Remaster

COD WWII, Wreckfest, Resident Evil 2 Remake.

My main gaming objective this weekend is to get the Platinum trophy on Days Gone....and I’m soooooo close! Just one more trophy to get, which is the 75% collectibles one, and I’m on 74%!!
Will also be playing some Wreckfest, Torchlight 2, WRC 8, and the Ghost Recon Breakpoint beta.

UPDATE; I did it...I finally got the platinum 😃 unbelievably that’s only my second ever platinum trophy. I’ve really enjoyed Days Gone, but with the likes of Greedfall and Borderlands 3 out next week (both preordered) it’s time to move on. Thanks to Sony Bend studios though for creating DG 👍

On ps4 I'm playing megaman x collection, I think I already getting used to the lag, x4 seems to have less lag than x1, it’s still annoying though. Also back to playing bloodstained, man there’s nothing like playing a good metroidvania games

On switch I’m playing astral chain, nes and snes games, $20 for a year to play snes games on switch and cloud saves is okay I guess. Also just starting astral chain, it’s pretty good, I’m a fan of platinum action games, from bayonetta 2 to nier automata and astral chain. Yesterday I preordered switch lite and zelda link awakening remake, can’t wait for the end of september

On pc I'm playing celeste (free on epic store), the game is good, not a game of the year type, but it’s a good game. The game is hard but not wasting my time, if I died in game it only cost me maybe a couple of second unlike sekiro or bloodborne. Also playing blazing chrome on gamepass, I want to play gears 5 but xbox game pass pc app suddenly not interested to let me install all of the gamepass game (error 08xx on ALL gamepass games). Considering gears 5 is only $18 on steam (because regional pricing), I shouldn’t bought 2 years of xbox gold and gamepass ultimate pc

I finished both Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Spider-Man this week both of which were incredible, and I would be shocked if Fire Emblem isn't my game of the year by the end of 2019. But now I'm not particularly sure what to start playing, I might give Danganronpa a go since I love Ace Attorney so much and need to try some more visual novels!

Monster Hunter is taking over my life once again. You would think after 350 hours in the base game I would be burnt out haha.

I'm back on AC Odyssey. Trying to decide if I should just continue trying to discover all the locations or do some of the DLC. Also carrying on with Torchlight 2.

I bought a Switch on Friday so I’ll be diving deep into the land of Mario and Zelda as I check out those two games. I also finished moving house and have finally got internet back after a month without it!! At a mighty 10 mbs no less 😂 it will do for my needs as I’ll make time for some Destiny 2 with some Pushsquare heads and maybe some No Man Sky and BF V as well 🙂
P.S. I’m finding the Switch to be an amazing little machine, the flexibility it offers is futuristic to me, I’d love if PlayStation did something similar in the future, maybe a powerful box that has a handheld device with it?? Would buy it hands down if it’s as good as the Switch

I'll be playing Astral Chain, and just downloaded Batman Enemy Withing that was 50% off. I ll see if I have time to start that one.
For PS4 maybe a bit of Hitman2 and Pes2020 demo

@kyleforrester87 Simon Fitzgerald, Alex Stinton, Liam Croft and myself had been playing over the summer, we were all lapsed players to different extends so were prepping for Shadowfall in September 🙂 your welcome to join, we’re always looking for raiders especially 🙂

Will be doing a play through of Catherine full body and also playing SNES games on switch

Gears 5 for me and some more Metroid Prime.

I got Uncharted 4 in the Only in Playstation Collection so I am going to play that. Disappointed to see it is only a sleeve though.

Darksiders 3 mainly with a bit of The Messenger on the side. Might even head into Kamurocho to make some progress on Judgment but I'll probably end up in the batting cages, as usual.

I’m giving Ghost Recon another chance to impress me with the beta. It’s certainly better than the last time I tried it but still not quite convinced I’m going to get it.

Will probably have to get Persona going again as it’s been a few weeks. I’ll give Odyssey the weekend off.

Still replaying chapters from Detroit: Become Human for trophies. Also messing around with some of the SNES games on Switch.

Mainly going to play Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Probably do a little bit of Half-life 1 and Witcher 3 as well.

Divinity original sins enhanced editions.word up son

Nfl season is here.so tomorrow im going to watch 🏈 football the whole day.lets go Pittsburgh Steelers.lets get that 7 heaven superbowl championship.word ☝ up son

Game & Watch Gallery (GB) - Been passing the Game Boy around with the kids playing Octopus going for high scores.

Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition - Playing this with the kids feels very backwards compared to the more modern versions of the game on other systems.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified (Vita) - More TDM in my downtime this weekend.

Earthworm Jim HD (Windows Phone) - Gotten a tad better with the touch controls.

Asphalt 5 (Windows Phone) - This has gotten better.

Cleaning up trophies in Dragon's Dogma and maybe some AC Odyssey on the side

Finally getting around to far cry 5 such is my backlog

Samurai Shodown for my fighting game. Then jump back to Fist of the North Star.

Platinum on rdr2 hopefully 🤞

@Hego I'm a big fan of the switch too for a back up console, great for when you cant get your tv as someones watching something else or if you commute. Zelda botw is so special, particularly the first 10-15 hrs. Enjoy!!!

Ps4: Ratchet and clank
Switch: Astral chain and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

Just beat Redmaw again on NG+ in HZD. What an epic memorable battle it still is. Still going slow on GoW NG+ to soak in its gorgeous art. Still hunting down cultists in AC Odyssey. Then some Sniper Elite 4, Child of Light, and Batman Arkham Knight later. Kind of lost interest in Yakuza Kiwami and Detroit BH for now.

Plus of course RDO, GTAO.

Astral Chain for me. I’m up to the third chapter and enjoying it so far.

Been poorly for the last week so gaming hasn't been my priority until now.So just getting back into the usual Assassins Creed Odyssey,Octopath Traveller, and browsing through the new Snes catalogue on Switch.I only ever played Zelda out of the 20 available and am finding some killer games here!

Having some stabby fun as a stealthy soldier in the GR Breakpoint beta, continuing my Darksiders 3 playthrough and earning gold in RDO ready for the big update next week.

Wreckfest and snooker 19

Playing the GOTY Monster Hunter World Iceborne

IceBorne (Fantastic expansion, Fantastic Game)
Astral Chains
BreakPoint Beta
CodeVein Demo

I recently got Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for Switch, and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. Been playing Smash Ultimate with some buddies to test out Banjo-Kazooie. I've also been playing a few rounds of multiplayer in the new Garden Warfare.

@LN78 nah!!! Im in same boat. Good games are good games. We cant help that Sony/Nintendo have been dominating with exclusive content😁

@R1spam Literally the reason I got one was over debating who had the tv each night with my better half 😂 should help avoid a few arguments at least!!

@LN78 get out of here, this is Playstation nation, go play on the green side i heard its slim pickings over there, must be tough having no games to play with, sorry to say u bought the wrong console..

I'm playing the game paint the coming baby's room but during breaks it's going to be Plants vs Zombies: battle for Neighborville founder's edition

Finished Darksiders last night and now getting drawn into the world of Detroit: Become Human, some great stuff loved the chase scene with connor and escaping the old house with Kara!

Playing the new plants vs zombies game 😊

Horizon Chase Turbo ! What a fantastic little game. Wouldn’t have tried it, if it weren’t for PS+.
Been playing every night till the early hours in the morning.
They’ve really nailed the ‘one more go’ arcade aspect.
Also has a killer soundtrack.

Just platted BioShock 1 remaster last week and got the plat for BioShock 2 remaster last night. Now I've just upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 so I can play Gears 5 soon but for PS4 I'm going to continue Spiderman and finish that off, then move on to Horizon ZD. Playing destiny 2 on pc since I've migrated my PS4 saves to use over both systems but I can't play it on ps4 because of the 60fps I get on pc it just makes it feel weird.

Finished god of war 3 last weekend, so focusing my time on final fantasy 15 this weekend. Sorry I haven't avenged you yet lady lunafreya.

GTA V is done! The 100% and platinum is finally mine. Shortly after, I finished up Batman: Arkham Asylum on PS3 and got that platinum as well. I was 86% complete on Batman, so didn't have too much work to go. On a roll!

Now, I have gone back to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PS3. The PS3 slim that I purchased back in 2012 was actually a COD: MW3 bundle, so this game is actually the first on my trophy list. Thankfully, every single trophy can be gotten offline, which I was really surprised with, since COD is know for its online multiplayer. I thought for sure there would be some online trophy requirements, but was pleasantly surprised to find out otherwise.

Other than that, I'm also playing The Witcher: Enhanced Edition on PC. Happy Gaming everyone.

Short on time, but pecking away at Spider-Man, have cleared almost all icons to this point, so it’ll be mostly powering through the story missions.

And the Code Vein demo, hopefully. I really want to see if this is worth buying day 1. I hear the demo is pretty substantial.

@playstation1995 why AB gotta go to the Pats....hey I have season tickets bro. What side of the pond you on?

@Nyne11Tyme. I know right.thats crazy.season ticket for what team dog.word up son

@Nightcrawler71 Congrats on the Platinum! I just got my first trophy in Days Gone on the road to the platinum:)

@playstation1995 did u see where the pats got AB. Thats insane.

Probably not playing much this weekend because will be watching football. But, maybe try to get the few trophies i need for plat in days gone.

@N7Shepski The game took me a lot longer than expected to complete - about 4 months with regular play, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good luck, and enjoy 🙂

I’m gonna play some SNES games.

I continue my Remedy Rampage and try to progress my Alan Wake and Quantum Break playthroughs on PC before I return to Control on PS4.

@ellsworth004. I know right its crazy.its only for one year.word up son

Monster Hunter World on PS4, trying to finish as much as I can so I can buy Iceborne and move onto that. MHW is so bloody hard tho !
Gears 5 on XBO (sorry🤣) which is a fantastic game and graphically stunning. A true AAA game
Made the fatal mistake of buying World of Warcraft Classic, spent 14 years playing WoW and now it's sucked me right back in again. My wife's gonna stab me before long !

Monster Hunter World Iceborne silly

@playstation1995 steelers!! Im 3 hours from Heinz

I'm giving the Ghost Recon Breakpoint Beta a spin.

@kyleforrester87 glad to hear you're enjoying Astral Chain. I'm picking up a Switch Lite because of that game.

@Nyne11Tyme are you from Pittsburgh. Do you live in the steel city word up son

@Kegflip. Nah seadogs.pittsburgh Steelers is all good.we are the best nfl franchise ever.word up son

@Nyne11Tyme. Im from new york city and im a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan.word up son

Currently playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. Have to get back to Monster Hunter World. Put it down for Assassins Creed Odyssey and Dragon Age Inquisition and never went back.

Out of curiosity I bought Assetto corsa ultimate edition on the psn sale last week for €14. I've read so much about this "driving sim" "not game" that I just had to try it out for myself.

All I can say is I must be some driver because I'm not finding it difficult at all. It's different, I'll give it that. Imo the force feedback is not "next level" as it's been touted online and I personally don't think the handling is anything near as good as Gran turismo 5 let alone GTSport

I don't regret buying it though and at least now I know what this "sim' is like. I use a Logitech g29 with a shifter.
