With the fall setting in, things are getting a little cooler and a little rainier lately. You know what that means: new games are starting to arrive, and it's the perfect time to dive in. Whether it's something from your backlog or a fresh purchase, won't you join us on a lazy gaming weekend?

This weekend I will be touching down with my ol’ pal Travis to play that trashy not-so new No More Heroes title that recently released on the Nintendo Switch. I’m not expecting much.

I might have to hop back on Monster Hunter World: Iceborne this weekend and give Rajang a right good slap. I may have to invite people over to my immaculately decorated room as well, and show off my macaque-infested hot spring. What a game.

I'm taking a look at Children of Morta this weekend. It's a rogue-lite action game, but this one is much more driven by narrative. I'm also planning to put some time into Dauntless to see how it compares to the wonderful Monster Hunter: World.

I'm in the mood to head to Transylvania for some 1991 SNES-style vampire hunting In Super Castlevania IV, as Simon Belmont whips his way around Dracula's foreboding lair in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection.

I'm probably going to chew my way through Concrete Genie this weekend. I haven't put much time into it yet, but the game is downright lovely, and I definitely need to see it through to the end. A couple of friends and I also wanna see if The Last of Us Remastered being a Plus game this month has seen the multiplayer community have a resurgence. I miss playing Factions something fierce.

This weekend I’ll be dusting off my PSVR headset and Move controllers as I return to Beat Saber to try out the new Panic! at the Disco song pack. When not in VR, I’ll be attempting the final few unlocks left for the platinum on The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+.
What about you guys? What are your gaming plans this weekend? As always, let us know what you're up to in the comments below.

I'm about 2 thirds the way through farcry 5, been really enjoying the game but not as much as 4 or 3 before that. My biggest issue is much like the previous games it doesn't take too long to be overpowered and nothing seems to scale with you. Which is such a shame as its a beautiful game just with no real challenge. But that being said I'll definitely be finishing it but maybe add some of my own challenges like no silenced, sniper and shotgun. No armour piercing ammo. Who knows there's a lot of fun still to be had though.
If I can stop myself from playing too much RDR2 Online then I should be able to get further in AC Odyssey.
I only have 2 endurance modes to finish for the Platinum in Horizon Chase Turbo so will try and get that finished.
Had a quick go of MLB 19, know the basics of the game but looks like it could take a lot to master.
I'll be working on getting the platinum in Concrete Genie. That game is just wonderful.
The Legend of Dragoon on my PSTV 👌🏾
Still trugging my way through Fallout 4, trying to visit all places and stock my companion up with useless junk. Also be heading back to Judgement for some kooky side quests and hoping the Wales match will still be on 2moro.
Just finishing off the story in Jade Cocoon 2 on PS2
I'll also be getting through No Man's wharf in Dark Souls 2:SotFS on PS4
Inbetween a BUNCH of lesson planning for work next week and some homework marking
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. Started it last week and really enjoying it, feels a step up from Origins.
It's definitely big but beautiful!
I dug out the VR and have been playing Moss and Beat Saber, also Assassins Creed Origins and Rocket League, does anyone know when the Demo goes live for MK11 as it's just prompting me to buy the game?
Haven't seen @kyleforrester87 on here for a bit hope he's doing ok!
About a month ago, I played Yakuza 0 and I've got to say: Damn bro! what a great experience (hadn't played any of the installments before). So, This weekend I'm going with Kiwami.
I’ll be out of town so I won’t have much time to get in the PS4 or Sega Genesis Mini. That’s where my Switch comes in. Fire Emblem Three Houses
Going to be playing plenty more of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Also got time to start something else from my backlog, not sure what yet.
Gone back to dragon quest 11. Think I lost interest a bit too quickly last time around
@Retro88 I need to finish that one myself.
I've been playing Persona 4 Golden the last week, around 20 hours in, and loving every minute.
Concrete Genie, Destiny 2 for PC, and Dragon Quest XI for Switch.
Divinity Original Sin 2 for me.
@RBMango How is Dragon Quest on the switch? I was considering getting it?
Batman: The Telltale Series (Switch) - Finally made it to the finale, really looking forward to the final confrontation with Lady Arkham.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified (Vita) - Mostly playing TDM with friends.
Zoo Tycoon Friends (Windows Store) - Trying to get some lions.
FIFA 15: Ultimate Team (Windows Phone) - Having some quick matches here and there.
Nier automata game of yorha edition amazing action rpg game.and ps2 on ps4 classic the legendary rpg rogue galaxy.word up son
Started playing sleeping dogs, I'm very early on having only done a couple of triad and police missions but really enjoying it so far. Hong Kong feels very alive and enjoying chasing through the city on foot and by car though the graphics are pretty middling, don't know about how extensive a remaster it is! Been playing some more bastion too, fantastic game! Between switch and ps4 online sales, got both for £5.50 combined, bargain!!
Continue my adventure in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Being a massive DKC fan, I'm having a blast.
MHWI kill more rajang just for fun and level up the volcanic area in the grinding lands
FIFA 20, RDR2, GOW, AC Odyssey.
I'm off till Tuesday now so a chance to finally beat Assassins Creed Odyssey which I'm 99 per cent sure I will have done by tonight or tomorrow morning.Absolute Beast of a game and it really gives me hope for the next in the franchise.
Asphalt 9 on Switch has it's claws in deep and I have never enjoyed a racing game like this since the Burnout series..
I would like to say I'll be finishing Links Awakening on Switch soon but the last couple of dungeons are really making my head spin..
Also tonight I'll be watching the final half of El Camino:A Braking Bad movie..hope the second half is better than the first,as a Huge Breaking Bad fan I feel a bit underwhelmed by the movie so far..
Probably will finish Titanfall 2. Not sure what I’ll play next. Thinking about either finally playing The Last Guardian, or revisiting a game I’ve abandoned for a while like Batman Arkham Knight or The Council.
Jumping back on FINAL FANTASY IX i have finished the Chocobo Hot and Cold mini game and found all the treasures on the world map but i forgot to get the Coffee when i was playing in the card game tournament so i buggered that side quest up
Got my VR out and bought Tetris Effect....holy mother of awesome. As a massive VR advocate i could kick myself for waiting so long to play. I think i encountered a progression bug in Fists of the North Star in chapter 8 which makes me sad. Great melodramatic story i wanted to see thru. And 'splodin dudes just never gets old lol
I’ve finished Links Awakening last night, great game although I found some of the later dungeons a bit of a drag. Hoping to get some D2: Shadowkeep in and finish off the story of that while trying to get raid ready. Would love to know if the Pushsquare clan will be joining back to try out the new raid? Also play more Ghost Recon Breakpoint which has been fun in a mindless kind of way, has a lot of problems but has fun to it as well. I’ve also been messing around with Apple Arcade after I’ve upgraded my fun, it’s pretty cool! Some really cool games on there
@777Reigns As a lifelong lover of JRPGs (particularly the Square Enix ones), DQXI makes me extremely happy. The Switch version is far and away the superior one. It has the orchestrated version of the soundtrack, different types of battle speeds, more side content, more ridable creatures, a neat 2D retro mode, and more. If you haven't played it yet, the Switch version is one of the easiest recommendations I can give. I know this is cheating a bit, but it might be my favorite game of the year so far.
@MightyDemon82 Hi, sorry I have been quiet. To be honest I’ve had some trouble with someone on here and it’s really made it difficult for me to contribute like I used to. It started a few months ago when I was approached on PSN. It was really harmless stuff at first - he’d tell me about a game he was playing and we’d exchange screenshots, and even pictures of us playing our favourite games. The conversations soon turned romantic and I foolishly sent him a picture of myself, nude and spread eagle, with a copy of Dragon Age Inquisition barely concealing my modesty. Things quickly turned sinister and soon after he began requesting I do things I really wasn’t comfortable doing - really weird, niche stuff. I said it was inappropriate, and he threatened to expose me online if I didn’t comply. What was I going to do? I couldn’t have you all thinking I actually found any enjoyment in Dragon Age Inquisition! Eventually I worked up the courage to say no, Persona 5 is not a perfect 10, and I blocked him from PSN. Subsequently, in revenge, I received a ban from this website. It’s taken some time for me to reflect on who I was back then, and I’ve realised it wasn’t me, it was he who had the problem, he who was in the wrong - it always was, and it always will be - and I’m ready to expose him for who he really is.
It’s....@Shogunrok’s account.
Monster Hunter World Iceborne, i've grinded out Rajang to get his Beta set and i've got his Insect Glaive but i won't be able to upgrade it until i reach MR99 so i'm currently making my way to that, i'm MR76 at the moment so its going to take a while haha.
Borderland 3 and Wreckfest
@kyleforrester87 I don't know what to say, but glad that your ok!
@MightyDemon82 thanks matey, tall tales aside I have been taking a bit of a break from social media and talking about playing games and spending a bit more time actually playing games the past couple of weeks. I got a Mega Drive mini last weekend and have been absolutely hammering that - today is all about Road Rash!
@playstation1995 Rogue Galaxy is a SUPERB game, I've bought the PS4 version but not played it yet. Still got my PS2 copy
@kyleforrester87 i know what you mean, i could be playing loads of games and reading my mountains of books, instead i'm looking at what i can add to those piles of stuff!
@kyleforrester87
Iceborne! Six more crowns to go... > <
@KingPev. You need to im playing nier now.tomorrow im playing rogue galaxy.word up son
@kyleforrester87 sega genesis mini.not the mega drive mini😒.word up son
I've been collecting all the hidden upgrade points in Control to finally get the platinum. Next up I'll be starting Blasphemous.
@kyleforrester87 😂 You had me there for a minute. Good to see you back.
@playstation1995 Mega Drive all the way!
Kids aside, once I get the chance I'll pick up and play Day's Gone.
Cuphead, just need to defeat the 3 head dragon boss on island 2 to clear the island, I don’t want to go to island 3 yet.
Complete the final DLC in Spiderman to get to 100% overall and play some more Saints Row Gat Outta Hell and Block A Pix. Hard drive is running out so gotta get some installs off.
Since I will be working my 8th day in a row I won't get much gaming time this weekend. If I do it will more then likely be
Call of Duty Mobile and World of Kings, on my phone.
I finished up Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, it was an enjoyable romp but the end was a bit rubbish. I'd normally smash Red Dead Online all weekend but it keeps crashing and disconnecting a lot recently.
Good to see Kyle back with a bang.
I'm a bit behind as i just got my Platinum Trophy in Spiderman which i enjoyed every minute of it!
I am now just starting a plague tale innocence which seems to be a great game so far as 3 hours in and hooked!
I don't recall it being massively advertised unless i missed it?
Concrete genuine for me , still need to migrate my save to mlb 19 and ghostbusters is also on the pile - this is my fave part of the site
Hi all! Having enjoyed Kyle and ShogunRok's exchange I'm going to continue my journey through God of War! Long story short, it's one of the best games I've ever played (coming from someone who owned a brand new Commodore 64 back in the day it's high praise). My only concern is that someone might have spoiled the game for me by mentioning an important thing about the plot of the game on a gaming forum that I read regularly.... Happy gaming everyone!
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
@MightyDemon82. Sega genesis all the way.word up son
@gollumb82. God of warcis the best game ever word up son
@playstation1995
Word! This game is the first thing that made me seriously consider upgrading to a 4K tv. There were at least a few situations when I was irritated by enemies because all I wanted to do was soak up the atmosphere and the views.
Well I got The Witcher 3 on Switch through early so booting that up, maybe some Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and some more Mutazione!
@gollumb82. God of war support hdr also.did you play it with hdr.word up son
@playstation1995
Not yet. I've got a decent 1080p tv and it looks astonishing on that. I can only imagine what 4K and HDR-enabled version looks like. But worry not! I already know multiple playthroughs are in order and the next one will be in 4K and with HDR.
@kyleforrester87 Absolutely brilliant 😂
@gollumb82. With ps5 coming and a lot of 4k tv with hdr thats cheap now.play ratchet and clank with hdr also.amazing looking game.word up son
@WCB a man of culture I see <3
Last of us remastered & Gravel (as always) 😊
Ni no kuni remastered and some fifa 20.
@Wazeddie22 dude the movie was awesome, ok it just felt like a long episode but still soooooo good
Valkyrie Chronicles [PS4]
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom [Switch] think i Will buy fire emblem as im really into strategy lately
Smash Ultimate and Destiny 2. Probably some MLB as well.
@kyleforrester87 #metoo
I am continuing Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the first sin. I am almost done with the main game...but also have all the dlcs to do. I have a question for you all. Whenever I am reading you guys comments I wonder how do some of you manage to play 4 or 5 different games on one weekend? For me I almost always stick to one game when I am hooked, I can't just switch to antother one within a few hours?
Not much on the ps4 for me atm so giving gears 5 a bash its quite boring with no extension on the gameplay from the previous titles, golf story and links awakening on the switch lite fairly enjoying both
Ill be playing Hitman 2.. i paid for the DLC with 3 or 4 maps, I only played Newyork for 3 hours cause it offers so much replaybality.
Also a few games of PES2020
Have been playing grid all weekend mostly, very enjoyable racer the sensation of speed while in cockpit view is great. Playing on a pro and it's very smooth.
Playing What Remains of Edith Finch right now, really enjoying it!
It's Nifelheim Time!!!
Iceborn what else ...
I need to complete my Shara Ishvalda armor ... and level up the guiding lands
