I’ve been struck down with a nasty cold this week which has knocked me for six. I have the new Like a dragon Pirate Yakuza ready to go, but I’ve opted for Stardew Valley as my head is killing me. Gonna keep it chill for the weekend and hope that recovery is swift. 😂
I’ve fallen back down the rabbit hole for Stardew Valley. I haven’t played since the new update from last year, and I’m having the best time planting new seeds, prize tickets (sorry Lewis for the amount of time I storm into your house 😅) and mystery boxes. I haven’t even found half of all the new stuff, so I’m occupied until Pirate Yakuza with my boi next week.
After finally getting the Platinum in Assassins creed Revelations (I will forever curse whoever designed, the stupid first person jumping). I’ve decided to finish off the last few cases of Ace Attorney investigations collection. Before Pirate Yakuza comes out in a few weeks.
Hmmm not quite sure on that point Mr Ceo, I would like to keep some games as single player.
As some have already stated and for which I share the same sentiment, the writing was just not good. It was bland and most of the companions had the personality of spoons.
The locations had some pretty moments, but there wasn’t much exploration and some very weird pacing moments and story beats - nobody can do anything themselves, and it’s entirely the player characters fault when something happens and nobody else!!!!. (Sorry still slightly mad over that)
The only good idea was to keep it from being a live service game, granted after several rounds of teams.
I’m a massive Dragon age fan and Veilguard sadly to me felt like a cheap knock off. Whether or not it gets picked back up in the future only time can tell. I hope at least EA learn from the continued failures, but I think from previous experience this won’t happen.
I’ve got the next few days off work, so I’m looking forward to getting AC:Revelations platinum after getting Brotherhood’s last week - several years late 🤣. Apart from that I’m gonna head back into Ace attorney investigations collection; to get the clean sweep. Happy gaming everyone.
I’ve made the very grown up decision of completing a side quest IRL and having to interact with people 😂. Apart from that I’m replaying AC:Brotherhood to chase for that platinum and I’m having great joy shouting at Ezio as he feels so slow, during the timed missions.
I’ve decided to give AC mirage another run. I bounced off when it first came out, as I wasn’t the biggest fan of Basim. I’m trying to plod through it whilst waiting for Shadows to hopefully come out in March (fingers crossed). I’ll also be running my dallies in Infinity Nikki.
I’m eyeing up my ever increasing backlog, so I’m gonna jump into Sly 2 (ps5) whilst also completing my daily’s for Infinity Nikki. Something nice and calming for the start of the year.
I’ve accidentally slipped and fell into purchasing Sly Cooper 2 so I’ll be playing that for a few hours. I’ve also bought murder on the orient express for some light euro jank that I love.
@WiccanMagick75 it’s not too bad. But there is an issue with waiting for energy. Also a lot of the clothes require bubbles which is a little annoying. However the vibes are great 😊 😅.
I’m still styling my way around Infinity Nikki, which is so peaceful and joyous that I can’t stop playing. If I manage to step away, I’ll try and tackle another Ace Attorney case.
Im thankfully in a job that allows me much needed time off for Christmas. I’m hoping to play something from my backlog, but I know that I will get distracted and buy something new. 😂
I’m diving back into AC: Mirage, after bouncing off it last year. Im hoping to enjoy it more before Shadows comes around (if and when that does of course). Also gonna tackle some more cases in Ace Attorney: Investigations collection whilst I hide from the raging storm outside.
I’m stuck at the moment of what to start next. I finished Veilguard a few days ago and generally enjoyed my time with it. However I don’t know what to play next, I’ve started Baldurs Gate 3 numerous times but can’t seem to stay absorbed enough. I might give it another go. In the meantime I’m playing Sims 4 for background noise really whilst I catch up on some podcasts.
I’m in the end game of DA:Veilguard and I’ve enjoyed it enough. I wish the companions had more presence, rather than simply existing in some areas like window dressing. But overall, a decent DA. Apart from that I have HZD remastered ready to go.
I’m playing DA:V and I am fighting the urge to restart and play as a mage. Currently playing as a rogue and I wanna just play with lightning. Apart from that I might tackle another of Ace Attorney cases.
I’m currently mopping up some lingering trophies in the second Lego Harry Potter game. Also my Wishlist keeps alerting me to YS X Nordics being available - it keeps popping off every two minutes. Must be a sign 😂
I’ve just got my platinum for HFW, it took me forever to do the stupid spinning move; I started having nightmares about spinning teacups (yes the kids ride) 😂😂. I’m now running through burning shores dlc for HFW.
I’m still running around Horizon Forbidden west and I’m enjoying it more this time around. I’m going for the Plat, so it may take me a little while (ahhh the map is so big). Apart from that I bought Ace Attorney Investigations collection to round up my favourite courtroom family.
After finishing Astro Bot last weekend, it made me feel very nostalgic. After having a blast as a bot Aloy (and also due to the amazing music) I’ve decided to go back to Horizon Forbidden West and restart as it’s been a while since I’ve played, and I can’t remember anything.
I’m playing DD2 which is pretty fun, but I still prefer the first game. I will say the enemies are much more brutal. Got picked up by one ogre, and then thrown straight into another that had just spawned. 😂
I’m stuck in gaming hell at the moment. I have a tone of games to play, but I’m not really in the mood for anything. I’ve booted up the sims 4 to check out the latest over priced expansion that I still enjoy buying.
I’m still playing Supermarket simulator which I’ve been playing on and off. I’ve been itching to jump back into a RPG of sorts, so I’m toying with the idea of playing Horizon Forbidden West and actually finishing it.

I’m on a IRL side quest of buying ahead of the big day. Aside from that I’m gonna jump onto Mass effect for the first time.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 553
I’m taking some much needed time off work. So I decided to be very responsible and buy Veil-guard and, HZD PS5. Very financial responsible 😂😂.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 551
I’ve had a bit of a bad week, so I've bought Lego Harry Potter PS5 edition, which is one of my favourite Lego games for some light relief.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 550
I’ve just got my platinum for HFW, it took me forever to do the stupid spinning move; I started having nightmares about spinning teacups (yes the kids ride) 😂😂. I’m now running through burning shores dlc for HFW.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 549
I’m spending some more time in HFW, just made it to the San Francisco area. I’m enjoying it a lot more this time around.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 548
@Mikey856 Yeah I’m gonna go for HZD remaster as well. I blame Astro Bot for my return to HFW, the music got to me 😂.

I need this in my bloodstream right now, I’m so down. Yes Majima!!!!! Back in form.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 546
Astro bot and more Astro bot, I am in love with this game.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?
Easy 10 for me, it’s the best game I’ve played all year.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545
I’m fighting the urge to buy Astrobot as I have too many games unfinished. Instead I'm gonna finish Dragons Dogma 2.
Re: Suicide Squad Studio Hit with Layoffs After Poor Sales
I honestly thought this game came out last year. This year has truly not made much of a dent on me. 😂

I’m having a bit of a heavy weekend so I’m still aimlessly running around Dragons Dogma 2.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542
I’m playing DD2 which is pretty fun, but I still prefer the first game. I will say the enemies are much more brutal. Got picked up by one ogre, and then thrown straight into another that had just spawned. 😂
