Looking forward to seeing everything y'all are playing this weekend. I am relegated to the Switch. Whilst I stay in hospital with my son. Happy Gaming All.
Again not much game time for me this weekend. But I did utilise the black Friday deals, to purchase the complete edition of Midnight Suns. And a great bargain for Still wakes the deep from Amazon. So hopefully will get around to them soon. Happy Gaming All.
I literally have Aliens Dark Descent on my wishlist and was really tempted at its sale price of £17.50. Therefore that alone makes this a good month for me. Whilst my boys will hopefully enjoy TemTem, being Pokemon fans.
As some of you are aware, my son currently has a brain tumor and undergoing therapy to sort it out. Unfortunately he was rushed into hospital with low pressure hydrocephalus. Therefore my gaming time will be none existent this weekend. However I will enjoy reading what y'all will be playing. Happy Gaming All.
Will be playing Alien Fireteam Elite. As well as Astro bot with the son. Also just got the £10 upgrade on HZD. So will be starting that sometime soon also. Happy Gaming All
Started Alien Fireteam Elite. Which is a very underappreciated gem. Also tidying up the Spiderman DLC finally. To get it 100% completed. Happy Gaming All.
Finally finishing off The Division 1 platinum out of my backlog. Having fun going back to this old game. Whilst also playing Astro Bot with the son. He is loving it a lot. Happy Gaming All.
This is honestly great news. I remember buying the first when it first released. It only took me 10 years to fully complete it, due to the sheer horror of it. Cannot wait to take another ten years to get through the sequel.
@freddquadros @3Above cheers all. It's a long road ahead of us as he is being treated for cancer. But he is a warrior and getting through it day by day.
I am currently spending the weekend in hospital with my son. So gaming is taking a backseat. Will happily read what everyone else is up to though. Happy Gaming All.
Looking at continuing my samurai platinum journey with the excellent Ghosts Of Tsushima. With some Bloodstained chucked in there too. Happy Gaming All.
In that place where I have now fully completed the games I was playing. Platinumed and all. Therefore, struggling to decide on a new game to fully invest my time with. Currently dipping my toe into Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night. And then also Middle-Earth Shadow of War. Happy Gaming All.
Just finished off the platinum for both MK11 (PS5) & Alien Isolation. So looking to start something new and totally different. Therefore, may now start MK1 and Dead Space (PS5). Happy Gaming All.
Having recently watched the excellent Alien Romulus film. I have started the Alien Isolation game. I dropped it in 2014 as it was unbearably tense. It still remains a nerve wracking game where you feel like you are constantly looking over your shoulder in fear. But I am loving it so much. Amanda Ripley's story is really interesting and would love a sequel or even an adaptation. I would argue that the xenomorph in this game is up there as an iconic boss. Something so fear inducing, knowing its unkillable and it's random AI decisions. Also playing Multi versus with my sons. Happy Gaming All
This is an awesome detail. You can really tell Alvarez is a big fan. With the way he talks about the franchise. This just further gives me confidence he was the right man for this job.
I definitely want a deep dive into the gameplay mechanics before I get my hopes up super high. But for now I definitely remain interested in it. It looks stunning just from the limited screen shots and trailer released.
Late to the posts. But managing to get more game time in now, in the evenings. Therefore, continuing on with Destiny 2. And also finishing off the Returnal platinum. Completed act 3, just need to finish off the last two zones (rng is killing me) and then finish the DLC off too. Happy Gaming All.
My son is in the hospital with a brain tumour so gaming is not on my agenda for the foreseeable. But its good to read what everyone else will be playing over the weekend. Happy Gaming all.
Actually a decent month for me. Have recently got back into Destiny 2 and was ready to get the new Lightfall dlc, so this was welcome. And my son will be really into Tunic too!
Got my partner into Destiny 2. So we are going through her new light journey over this weekend. Other than that, it will be cleaning up some survey runs for the Returnal platinum. Happy Gaming All.
I am fully back into Destiny 2! So this will be taking most of my time. Apart from that, may do a few more Returnal runs, to clean up the last few trophies for the Platinum. Happy Gaming All!
Even though Helldivers didnt get top spot or end up not winning any game of the year awards, at years end. This was and will remain the surprise hit of 2024! No one predicted how big it would blow up, not even the developers (as shown by the server cap issues). It is a great underdog tale, a great addition to show how live service should be done. and I hope it gets all the accolades it deserves by years end. For Democracy.
Gaming will be taking a backseat this weekend. Have a work trip I am going to instead. Maybe some Dragons Dogma 2 on the Sunday evening though. Happy Gaming all!
Carrying on with my Dragons Dogma 2 playthrough! Whilst also playing some Sackboys great adventure with my son. Nay also try out the Stellar Blade demo, if i get a chance too. Happy Gaming All!
I will be jumping in between Ghosts of Tsushima and Dragons Dogma 2. As well as also coop gaming with my son on some Lego games of his choice and Shredders Revenge. Happy Gaming all!
Have been watching and enjoying Shogun, which is a fantastic show. Which has left me in the mood to jump into Ghost Of Tsushima. The graphics are beautiful. The gameplay is butter smooth. Enjoying this alot. Will also be doing some coop with my son too. So the likes of Shredders Revenge, Knack 2, Crash Team Racing and Marvel V Capcom will be getting some game time! Happy Gaming All!!
I will be continuing playing Unravel with my eldest son. As well as finally starting Final Fantasy Remake. So i can then jump on Rebirth once this playthrough is done. Happy Gaming All.
@Neptunes lets be honest, echoes of the fallen is no blood and wine dlc in terms of size. Its a very small addition which generally plays no big part in the story either. All they would have needed to do was reuse some assets from the main game. Record some additional lines and easily implemented in within 1 year of game releasing. It definitely did not feel like cut content either. As it served no real purpose to the main games storyline. It never felt like the story without it was missing anything either. But you believe what you believe. I certainly believe them when they said they released a full standalone game initially and havent seen anything to change my mind.
@Stevemalkpus yeah, we bought the bundle for £5. Which included both games. But my son wanted to go from the start rather than jump straight into number 2! so far we are both enjoying it.
Will be playing Unravel with my 7 year old son mostly. But then in the evening will be jumping on Helldivers 2 with friends. The game is endlessly enjoyable and chaotic. Will also finish off Final Fantasy difficultly on FFXVI for the platinum. Happy Gaming All.
I am so on the fence with this one. I love the style and Starship Troopers vibes it gives. The gameplay looks fun. But the live service side gives me worry. Any news when reviews go live?? Really want to check a few out before i pull the trigger!
Currently playing No Return for TLOU pt2. Having a lot of fun with this new game mode. Just makes me sad on what could have been with Factions. Then also cleaning up some trophies on Final Fantasy XVI. Happy gaming all.

Re: Talking Point: What Was the Best Game Announcement at The Game Awards 2024?
Hard to choose just one. But my top 3 was Intergalactic, Witcher 4 & Split Fiction. All 3 looked fantastic.
Re: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (PS5) - PlayStation Classics Return in a Deserved Revival
Great write up. Was interested in this one. But the aged combat does give me pause for concern.
@shogunRok are you guys by chance doing a review on The Thing remaster also?

Re: PSVR2 Horror Alien: Rogue Incursion Goes Gold, Reveals New Trailer
Me and VR do not gel well. So as intriguing as this game looks, I think I will stick to Fireteam Elite for my "Aliens" fix.
Re: Survive in Style with Forever Skies Demo's PS5 Exclusive Airship Skin
As a free demo, definitely will check it out. It definitely has potential.

Re: Alien: Isolation Sequel Announced, in Early Development
@Medic_alert I recently came back to it too to finish off the platinum, off the hype of Romulus. It still holds up really well ten years later.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The First Descendant?
The gunplay feels fine and it has potential. But i dont think it will be taking Destiny 2 off its pedestal any time soon!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 534
Spending a lot of time in hospital with my son. So its mostly Switch gameplay. With the likes of Deaths door, Sonic Superstars and Super Mario.

Re: Confusion as Duelling Reports Confirm/Deny Existence of Dead Space 2 Remake
The main (and only) point I get from all this, is that there is definitely no Dead Space sequel being made. Which is really saddening!
