@mac_da_man I seem to be the only person who LOVED Hellblade 2....I loved the depressing, dank, dark atmosphere and how cinematic the whole game was. Not played the upgrade yet but certainly will
Playing and enjoying Mafia The Old Country - i understand the criticisms of its basic gameplay and it is basic indeed but im loving the overall vibe and presentation Replaying the greatest RTS ever made in Dawn Of War Remastered Definitive Edition ...superb, Relic in their prime, bringing back memories of this game taking over my life in 2004. Gonna take new character Sagat ( crazy that he's DLC ) online in Streetfighter 6 for a few bouts Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Colour ....that's a great solution right there - close the studio ! Put all them talented people out of work, just to satisfy the teenage whims of entitled gamers !
I don't really think any of them need remastering tbh....still as playable as they ever were. DA2 looks great on XBX - yes for sure they'd look a lot better if remastered, but no real need
Trying to clear my (huge) backlog by focusing on some lesser known, lower profile games that I've been sat on for years So, finished the Onimusha Warlords remaster - forgot how great this game was in its PS2 heyday. Brilliant Should finish Rogue Trooper Redux - a VERY basic but enjoyable shooter but once played, best forgotten.. I'll also complete SOMA but haven't really been that into it, it's merely ok ....Still Wakes The Deep did it all a 1000 times better Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Hoping to finish the wonderful Death Stranding on PS5 so I can buy and devour the 2nd one. Had a real love / hate relationship with it but love it now. Bonkers and brilliant. Playing Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight on PC along with System Shock 2 Remastered - one of the all time greats. Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Balaam_ ...i can't imagine why anyone would play a Battlefield game (or any game really) just for Trophies. Imagine never playing a Mario or Zelda game because there's no Trophy list.
Did you ever play games before Achievements or Trophies were a thing ?
@Zuljaras ...the STALKER games are great, but nothing like Fallout really. They're very much old school PC survival shooters, can be very difficult and obtuse but are superb. The recent STALKER 2 is utterly brilliant
Hoping to finish the superb Avowed on GamePass, such a great fantasy RPG set in the Pillars Of Eternity universe. Also just finished Onimusha Warlords on PS4 - such great nostalgic memories of playing this on PS2 back in the day, even some of the horrific puzzles ! Also gonna dabble in online scraps in MK1 and Streetfighter 6 ...tune in to watch me getting my fat ass kicked ! Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Trying to finish Death Stranding on PS5 as im itching to.play the 2nd although I have a love / hate relationship with the 1st. I'm also taking a vow to complete Avowed on XBX - a very good game, it's literally The Outer Worlds in a fantasy setting. Worth playing when it comes to PS5, as it undoubtedly will. Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@arsmolinarc ....the developers are Ukrainian. But the game was made in Prague, where they're now based. Although 2 of the development team were killed, choosing to defend their country
This game is fantastic. A truly immersive, hardcore, PC style survival shooter. Its been patched to high heaven and runs superbly on XBX now. I've completed it twice and looking forward to many more playthroughs. It kicks Atomfalls arse too lol !
@Anya-chan oh it does look good, I'll be buying it for sure, just doesn't scream "Mafia" to me, not like the first 2 games. 3 was awful.....when I think of the Mafia, I think Goodfellas, The Godfather etc. Not Uncharted style gameplay
@Alps_Stranger ...i played the campaign twice, solo only. It was brilliant fun, a fantastic game. Not sure why it wouldn't be ....? The multiplayer and co-op missions are superb too
@16BitHero yes , fully agree. Its a proper 'looker' now too, graphics are very sharp indeed. Both DLC episodes are great fun. And yeah no Jedi or flooded with the usual Star Wars characters either. Loved it. A long game too - my save file was 66hrs !
Just finished all the Star Wars Outlaws DLC packs with 100% trophy collection- this game has been fantastic, they really turned it around with all the updates. Well recommended if you're on the fence.
More Death Stranding 1 ..really into this game now after not being sure - I've put around 46 hrs in so far and no idea how long is left - I've seen some say it's around the 200hr mark ! 😬but looking forward to the 2nd game eventually.
I'm also hoping to bed my young virgin maiden, hoping she can give me a child then I can poison my current wife and children - oh, I'm also playing Crusader Kings 3 🤴 🤣🤣
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
No need for a single player campaign whatsoever. The campaigns in 3,4 , 1 & 5 were all mediocre at best. I appreciate they need to appeal to a wider audience, though
Even on PC, this has aged like 6 month old milk. It simply HAS to be played with mods now for it to be playable. This PS2 port was actually good back in the day though, but must be virtually unplayable now
Finished Still Wakes The Deep , very good with excellent sound design. Just gonna go back and mop up the last few achievements. More Death Stranding on PS5 - sometimes I love it, sometimes I think it's boring, pretentious twaddle. Been in my backlog for years ! Having a multiplayer fest too with Battlefront 2 and Battlefield V both still amazing online shooters ! Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@MickOnYourFace ....it wasn't a bad port at the time but I imagine it's aged like a year old curry now. Even currently on PC it's almost unplayable without mods
@Balaam_ ......you'd really avoid playing a fantastic game because of its trophy list ? Mind-boggling !
Have you thought of, ya know, playing the game and enjoying it ? Oh and by the way, this is one of the finest multiplayer games ever made. It's certainly not mindless and for players of a "low IQ" ! ..( what a comment in itself) ..you stick to what you like, Einstein
Plodding on - literally - with the uniquely brilliant Death Stranding on PS5. Utterly bonkers and I love it its been in my backlog for years !
Also, the new RTS Tempest Rising on PC - this is superb, brings back memories of the classic Westwood years. Will be one of my GOTY for sure.
I've also bought and made a start on Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon thanks to the guys on here and enjoying it - very clunky but I'm a sucker for this type of game !
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
@freddquadros ...some great games on the go there ! I loved Outlaws too
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
@ApostateMage I thought Gotham Knights was great fun, especially playing as Batgirl. That Clayface boss fight can do one though
