A late edition of WAYP can only mean one thing: an almost forgotten edition of WAYP. But! We haven't missed an issue in over four years, and today was not that day. Here's your, admittedly later than advertised, weekly WAYP.

I'm obsessed with FIFA 22 right now, I'm not going to lie, but I'll be trying to tear myself away to play the new London Commuter content in Train Sim World 2. I'm absolutely loving this route so far, and can't wait to tackle the Gatwick Express a couple more times.
Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor
To make up for the lack of real football this weekend, I'll probably be hammering FIFA 22. Career Mode's a bit buggy this year, but I'm still having fun, and I've got Chiesa lined up for the next transfer window. Hopefully negotiations go smoothly.

This weekend is all about firing fake, digital guns at fake, digital people. First up, I want to take Battlefield 2042’s open beta for a spin. Once I’ve had my fill of that, I’ll be exploring Deathloop, aiming to make some serious progress. I’m having a great time with it so far — it’s cleverly structured, has fun combat, and weaves some intriguing plot threads.
And that's your lot for this weekend, then. What are you playing? Have you got anything in particular planned? Let us know in the comments section below.

Same old FFXIV for me, prepping for Endwalker next month!
Super hype!!
Still in the middle of Judgment (PS5). I'm about 18 hours in and just started chapter 8 of 13. I did not expect the game to be this long but it's a great story and fun game.
I decided to finally get around to starting up Hitman II that we got for Plus last month. Looking forward to working through that.
Resident Evil Village on Ps5. When I’m finished with that I got Far cry 6 next! Solid af yo!
Far Cry 6 for me alongside watching F1. FC6 REALLY needs a FOV slider on PS5 though.
Metroid Dread.
I'm a traitor !
I finished LiS:True Colors. I had some wild ideas about what was happening leading up to the end but it turned out to be a much more grounded tale than I’d imagined. In a good way I think.
I loved that they had a Dido song (love that song). Just shows how powerful music can be and how it can take you out of a bad situation, even if just for a moment.
Brilliant game.
It'll be a humbling one for me: getting my ass handed to me by a Hot Wheels game and also by Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Never such joy in defeat, however. Game on everyone and have a great weekend!
Probably more fifa. Finally finished the 40 squad battles so gonna try some rivals.
On PS5 I’m playing Death Stranding (Director’s cut), Deathloop and Kena Bridge of Spirits. On Series X I’m playing Far Cry 6 and Hot Wheels Unleashed.
Lost Judgement. Maybe Tales of Arise too given the new difficulties.
I’m playing through dragon quest 11 definitive edition on the ps4/ps5 atm, passed the halfway point already. Reallt enjoying it.
Also playing through castlevania circle of the moon on my switch, love that I’m finally able to play the gba games for affordable prices.
And lastly my brother and I have a minecraft world where we do stuff, play on it both on the switch and ps5 depending wether I want to play portably or with better performance.
TLOU2 on PS5 .and it's awesome so far .
I’ll probably finish one of the 2 stories in Scarlet Nexus today and then obviously there’s still Guilty Gear
Finally platted Days Gone after taking a small break. But I'm now staring down the barrel of returning to work on Monday. 😂 So to cheer myself up, I'm gonna finally head into the Last of us part 2, for some cheerful bonding.
Finished Hell on my Necro in diablo 2 resurrected. Working on my sorceress now.
Gave up on RE4 and moved on to GoT Director' Cut
Far Cry 6... I haven't touched an FC game properly since 3 so I'm not feeling the fatigue a lot of people have felt with it so I'm having a blast so far.
God of War on ps5 (still loving it)
I've been playing both Spider-man Remastered and Spider-man Miles Morales. And when you play those two games back to back, you really start to appreciate how distinct they are from each other.
CTR. Working on the time trials. The plat will be mine!!
Far Cry 6 for me. Having a great time with it so far.
Metroid Dread on Switch and Tales of Arise on PS5 .
Started my fifth attempt to finish Red dead redemption 2 a few days ago made it to the epilogue last night so it looks like this attempt is going to be successful. Beyond that hell let loose, leftover side missions in GTA 5 and I purchased the PS4 PS2 classic versions of GTA 3 and vice city so that as well on PS5.
Disgaea 1 Complete.
That is all.
...
Dood.
I'll be causing mayhem all across Yara (providing I have the correct ammo equipped) in Far Cry 6.
Then it's way back to 9th century England in AC Valhalla.
I'll also be making eddies and earning reps in a preem neon filled dystopian future with a 1980's vibe in Cyberpunk 2077.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Directors Cut and Alan Wake Remastered 6/10 Edition. Have a good weekend all!
Dirt 5, making Playground Tracks (PS5), COD WWII (PS4) and Metroid Dread (Switch).
Metro Exodus, Uncharted 3 both on the hardest difficulties trying to get them gold trophies. Still searching for new findings in RDRII, any of the MAFIAs, some laps in GTSport.
Have had a dodgy thumb all week so haven't been playing anything but my lovely wife made a poultice and I'm now on the road to recovery and might continue playing Arkham Asylum either tonight or tomorrow.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Far Cry 6 and Metroid Dread!
I'm also forcing myself not to buy Hot Wheels Unleashed lol
How bad is BF2042 beta though lol I hate it! It's a huge map, there's barely fighting happening on most of it. Visuals bugs. You can't distinguish your team from the enemy. They cut the campaign to do BF4 DLC? Lmao
@hypnotoad Awesome though eh ?
I’ll be playing Star Wars: Fallen Order in the highest difficulty and a few runs of Returnal. I’m so close to getting the platinum trophy for Returnal!
@GoodGame Fantastic mate.
Diablo 2 Resurrected for me, very nostalgic. Also picking up Metroid Dread later on. Have a good one folks!
Just the pink oboe for me. No consoles where I am.
Alan wake and Nioh 2 for finishing platinum.
Might go back and replay Code Vein or go back and finish Remnant from the Ashes.
Far cry 6 this weekend on series x, usually go there for multi platform titles.
Will tied me over until
FH5 November
Halo December, if there is a campaign 😂
Elden ring January
HZDFW February
Maybe dying light 2 February
To many games all at once 😊
Well this weekend I'm going to finish kena, then on to death stranding or deathloop. But got a little thing in the back of my head telling me to get tales of arise so trying to fight off the urge in buying that also just got too many things I need to concentrate on first so hopefully will get that in a while but who knows might be downloading it in few hrs haha.
Edit I have just finished kena😁 what a great game although I will say that final boss was really hard even on normal difficulty. Took me a few hours to do it, but finally did it. Now to have a think about next game still not sure from original post.
1. Lost judgment
2. FarCry 6
Maybe a bit of F1... Turkey GP weekend 🏁🏎🏎
Diablo 2...the f1...diablo 2..oh did i mention diablo 2?
Scarlet Nexus on my Series X thanks to them adding it to Game Pass. I'm about two thirds of the way through it so far and I'm highly enjoying it.
@Nightcrawler71 How is Hot Wheels? I just got it for my kid for Christmas.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania: What have I got my self into, this game is so hard! Not sure if I want to go for the platinum as I decided a couple years ago that I wanted all RGG Studio Platinum trophies.
Switch - Metroid Dread, baby!
PS5 - GTA Online with friends!
PC - Gmod with friends!
Have a good weekend everyone.
Control is my main and I'm having a good yet frustrating time with it. I've reached a point where almost every mission leads to a boss battle and I've had my arse handed to me on a plate several times lol.
Ended up adjusting some sliders shall I say and now cleaning up. One question, when/how does The Foundation DLC start? Do I have to finish the main story first or complete a certain side quest?
Will also be dipping into Valhalla when I fancy some open world shenanigans. Decent game, pretty lighting, enjoying the odd round of Orlog, even more than I did Gwent if I'm being honest.
Enjoy the weekend, folks.
Metroid Dread is that good that I'll be playing it next weekend too !
Back4Blood, it's turned out great imo.
Alan Wake, fun but flawed.
Super Monkey Ball BM, I miss notches for analog sticks.
Tales of Arise, 37 hours in and its probably my game of the year so far. Lost Judgement if I can put Tales down and Im waiting on Metroid Dread to arrive so great times to be a gamer
A bit of Yakuza 0, and a SMW rom hack. Peach's Adventure or something.
Playing PGA tour golf, really enjoying it, plus have downloaded Last of Us part 2, tried about last night, will continue through the weekend. Been a good month for me on both PS plus and PS now.
Busy working mainly - I'm a driving instructor and got a backlog of pre and post lockdown tests to get people through !
But I did treat myself to Metroid Dread on Switch yesterday can't wait to have a couple of evenings to get stuck into it, hoping it lives up to its stellar reviews
Will also dabble into Far Cry 6 - only 3 hrs in but enjoying it so far
Have a great weekend guys ❤
@Voltan I just finished Kasanes story yesterday. Loved it, superb combat, cheesy story
Chipping away at Demon’s Souls and Kena. Happy gaming!
@KingPev I’m playing Yuito’s. I’ll probably do Kasane’s another time (around holidays or something)
Just finished Nier: Automata few days ago.
I tried Hell let loose and PGA tour. Gave 1 hr for each, deleted both.
Guess I take some time off playing this weekend hehe.
Ghost of Tsushima Legends.
I have 30 Survival objectives left to do for that last cosmetic that I want, then all that's left to do is the raids.
Darkest dungeon best indie games ever and witcher 3 wild hunt complete edition. Watching the Jefferson marathon. Good times.martin.and saved by the bell.and fear street 1978.and my Pittsburgh steelers beat the Broncos. Word up son
@Dezzy70 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Halo Infinite will only launch with Multiplayer, with the campaign coming a month or two later.
Still the same games, Street Fighter V and Nier Automata.
Hitman 2016 and Donut County. Might start something new if time allows as well.
@misak192 I tried Hell Let Loose for an hour and deleted it too. Got bored of walking around on my own lol. I appreciate its hard core but bloody hell, not much fun is it
IS and back 4 blood
Sackboy and Death Stranding DC for me.
Got a wee hankering for a decent strategy game though so might go look around Steam to see if there is anything decent going cheap.
Lost Judgment, Far Cry 6 and Battlefield 2042 for me!
Steamworld Heist, a turn-based sidescroller and a great time!
Dragon Quest 11. So near the end.
Insurgency: Sandstorm online coop and Far Cry 5.
Metroid Dread. Such a great game and well worth the wait but definitely not a stress free experience though. Later I'll likely be playing some Far Cry 6 on PS5 followed by Puzzle Bobble 3D Vacation in VR.
Keep playing Metroid Dread. I'm loving it.
It's November in Persona 5, and I'm wondering whether I'm finish my first playthrough tomorrow
@Perturbator A lovely little game which I felt was over far too fast. Not because the game didn't feel complete, but because there's nothing quite like it to scratch that itch, and I wanted more
Resident Evil 2 remake and symphony of the night on PS5 - both great so far
Seeing what everyone else is playing I’ll be representing Melty Blood Type Lumina this weekend and Kena mixed with Deathloop.
I'm playing the free PSN Oct games (US) Mortal Kombat XL and PGA Tour 21. So far, MK isn't bad. PGA Tour 21 is better than I thought.
Bouncing between god of war, back 4 blood, alan wake and fall guys.
Was playing Genshin Impact and Final Fantasy VII Remake (all extra dlc summons and items) this week but did the second level of Contagion Outbreak VR last night... And oh my days, it is terrible. Regret purchase indeed. Though, I am one level away from the platinum and one more after that to complete the game entirely if I can be bothered to get my £6 (sale) worth. Yes, there are 4 levels. I won the first 2 endings through bugs that just happened during the boss/hard parts. It's hilarious and bad.
@JRJ3 You going to master the Velo trials after? I was lucky enough to plat the game in a week cause I had the Switch version, but 12 months on from buying the ps4 version I still can't be bothered to do Oxide's Ginegerbread Joyride ghost and most Velo ones.
Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend is going to be more Tales of Arise on PS5.
Loving the game a lot more than I was expecting.
I´m now on act 2, have a new anime intro and more questions than ever. Now I need to find a boat. Yes, a boat. Don´t ask.
Also, a game I didn´t think it would exist and I´m super glad it does called Metroid Dread on Nintendo Switch.
Kinda makes the wait for Metroid Prime 4 more bearable 😜
And maybe more Kena on PC. Lovely old school game.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming weekend to us all
@sentiententity I still have a bunch of those hacks on my Wii. Kamek's Island was one of the ones I recall. There was one that also used a sonic song and had metal bowser as the boss. The last levels basically required cheats, though so just put constant invincible to finish it haha The rest of the game felt like a straight add on/sequel to SMW, though.
@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Long time, hope your well.
Control is a really good third person shooter game.
One of the best in my opinion.
As for when The Foundation DLC start you must first complete the main storyline of the game. Then the first mission of the DLC will begin.
For The AWE DLC, I highly recomend you finish The Foundation first. And if you can, play Alan Wake Remaster before as well.
Not only it´s a good game but it will also give you more context for the AWE DLC. Hope it helps.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@RaZieLDaNtE Cheers mate, you too. Good luck with the boat. Gaming on a boat to me sounds vom inducing though haha
I'm currently playing dragons dogma on the PS4, loved that game on the ps3
@weR1youR2Podcast Hi there friend
I´ve been dabling a bit of Melty Blood on PC, but only training mode and color editor for like an hour or so.
How are you enjoying the game so far?
And how good is the online? I heard it´s as good as GG Strive.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
I received a promotional $30 from a CC and saw Cyberpunk on sale for $33.95, so I went ahead and bought the game. So I'll be playing that once college football is done.
I played a few matches of the 2042 beta. I like it but you can tell the beta is based on an older code base. It’s kind of janky at times. The network is stable though which is a plus for launch. I’m just hoping they fix some of the glitches before launch.
I’m also playing Metroid Dread so far. It’s amazing. The difficulty reminds me of Fusion in a lot of way. It’s challenging, but it’s fair.
Also Black Ops Cold War and I’m trying to finish up Metro Exodus.
@RaZieLDaNtE Thanks for the information. Ha, I'm pretty much on the final boss in the Wake DLC. I did play the game back on the 360, but never completed it. I was a bit of a gaming wuss back then!
I'll tackle The Foundation after I've completed the main story. Going to finish off a few other missions first including Mr Hartman.
@Jayofmaya Hi there friend
🤣🤣🤣
I meant that I need to find a boat in the game Tales of Arise 😂
You just made me LOL so hard, so thank you for that 👍
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
I've been making my way through my backlog this week and having a blast. I finished Guacamelee 2, and Inside this week. I'm about to finished a little indie game called Dogurai and then I think I'm going to either play RE 2 Remake or Bloodstained.
On PS4 I picked up the Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood on sale. So I’m going to attempt to play SotN for the first time. So far it’s great. I’m also trying to finish the mediocre campaign in SW Battlefront II. And on Xbox One X I’m still playing my comfort food game Forza Horizon 4 and eagerly awaiting the release of FH5 in November. Have a great weekend everyone!
Finally got the Plat Trophy and 100% on Horizon Zero Dawn. New game plus with the extra hard mode difficulty was not as bad as I feared. Felt good hitting that 100% and now I'm craving more open world goodness. So I'll probably start playing the newer Assassin's Creed games. I picked up the three newest ones a while back as a bundle and also on sale. Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. Origins looks right up my alley so I'll probably start with that. But I'm tempted to see what Valhalla looks like running on the PS5. So tempting 😂
@JustPlainLoco
No the campaign is meant to be the 8th of December 2021.
The forge and co op single player is later March onwards 2022.
I put a laugh face, because have not for a year seen any campaign game play and it’s due December 2021.
@OMG_Waffles all those Ass Creed games are superb - do them in order. And Origins is ace
Fired up my PSVR first time in MONTHS to play Puzzle Bobble 3D..been looking forward to it and pleased to say I'm having a blast with Bub And Bob
Continuing my adventure in the fantastic Tales Of Arise..really loving it now,such a great game compared to the last couple of Tales I played.About 30 hours or so into it and don't want it to end.
Will do a bit of Yakuza Zero on the Ps4 too which I'm still working my way through..just keep getting distracted by the business side of things
Far Cry 6 all weekend. Somehow it really got me hooked!
Nothing this weekend as it is Thanksgiving here in Canada and I have all my vaccinated family members here to celebrate!
I see a lot of folks have mentioned Allen Wake. I never got the chance to play it back in the Xbox 360 days as my system broke and I picked up a PS3 instead of buying a third Xbox. It's a game I always wanted to play. Is it the regular game just ported to PS5? Or is it an actual remaster?
I’m playing back 4 blood ps5
@theheadofabroom Let's hope there is a sequel one day!
Battlefield 2042! It's great fun! And maybe a little PSVR.
@Telekill you don't have to use that as a ruse, we know it's for you really 😉
@OMG_Waffles actual full on remaster
Back into Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Just made it through the Corneo mansion part. What a strange but oddly entertaining game this is. 😅
And going to start Rime as part of the game club. Looking forward to it as I’ve been meaning to play it for a long time.
Playing a mix of the Battlefield beta and Tales of Arise.
@KingPev lol. I actually got Crusin' Blast for "the kids" under that ruse last month. Hot Wheels is genuinely for the kiddo but if it turns out to be a good arcade racer, I'll definitely enjoy it.
I'm 26hrs into Tales of Arise. Its slowly creep up list of my Favorite JRPGs of all time. Story is getting good.
Try and finish off Jedi Fallen Order. Finished F1 2020 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Then maybe get back into Hitman 2.
Doesn't look like I'm buying any new games until 2022
Far Cry 6 co-op, which has been a great laugh. I was hoping to try Battlefield, but for some reason I can't download it. It keeps telling me something went wrong. I was pretty keen too:/
I finished the story campaign in Spider-Man: Miles Morales and just started the Avengers campaign offline. I don't understand the hate for this game, the opening was REALLY good where you play as the whole team on the Golden Gate Bridge. I love all the different mechanics with each member, the story is different & interesting, and Kamala Khan is such a good character. I love this campaign so far, can't wait to play the Hawkeye & Wakanda expansion campaigns. No interest in the online multiplayer aspects or cosmetics.
Besides those, I want to get through more Persona 5 Royale, I'm on the 2nd Dungeon in May. I'd like to get through & possibly finish Yakuza Kiwami so I can play Kiwami 2 or 0. Then I'd like to start GoT DC or Arkham Knight. Or Witcher 3 Complete. Or one of the 3 AC games I've got Origins, Odyssey, or Valhalla..... so many games.
Metroid Dread next Friday, maybe Tales of Arise.
I was playing moonlighter, but I finished it and most of the dlc. It was alot better than I was expecting. I really had alot of fun with it. The Messenger for the rest of the weekend. I'm about 3/4 through it, another great indie.
Far Cry 6, the only game I have looked forward to playing this year, and so far it's delivering
Alan Wake: Remastered FTW!!!
@TheArt Metro was amazing, the DLC "SAMS STORY" is well umm beyond PHENOMENAL! They really ended that game with a bang!! I didnt like "THE TWO COLONELS" as much as I liked "SAM'S STORY" please please please I behoove you to play that DLC!!
Still playing Tales Of Arise. Way to go yet but I’m taking my time with this one. Really enjoying the setting. Doing quite a few side quests and chatting to all NPCs, which I rarely do. Most games I just do the main story.
Like many others, I’m also playing Metroid Dread. Still pretty early but loving it so far.
@MakersMark Really... I'll definitely have to check it out then. L
@Telekill it’s great fun 👍 I haven’t played online yet, but it has a good single player campaign to work your way through. I didn’t buy it until the reviews dropped...glad I bought it now.
Metal Gear Solid 5 Phantom Pain, and Diablo 2 Resurrected
@playstation1995 how bout that fury wilder fight? 😏
lookin like a lot of people dusting off there switch for Metroid dread. lol
Tried out Far Cry 6, Deathloop, and 2042 at a friend’s house yesterday.
For me today, it’s all about Metroid Dread when I’ve got the time. I’m about an hour or two in and whew… Nintendo, thank you for making this game. Glad I played Aria of Sorrow and Axiom Verge 2 to give the game competition, but Metroid is reminding me why it’s king
I took a break from both Kena and Judgment to check out the 2nd Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins demo, as well as a trip down memory lane with Kingdom Hearts series.
Unsure what I'll return to first, but I will def try to fit in some gaming time tomorrow.
