Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 30 - October 1)

R Type 3 Evolved on PS5.

Cocoon on GPU.

Nothing not got time at the minute with gym and cinema over the weekend and other things but maybe cocoon and assassins creed odyssey tommorow which I paid 4 pound for I noticed the special deal the other day on the store

I beat TOEM and Ace Attorney: Justice for All last week and I’m currently playing Solar Ash and Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations.

With spooky month starting tomorrow I’m gonna play spooky games all month. My plan is to beat Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, House of the Dead: Overkill, Until Dawn and Luigi’s Mansion 3 amongst other games.
Very maybe I’ll try Silent Hill 2 but that game is too spooky for me.

Hopefully beat Lies of P over the weekend.
Will never understand how some folks completed it in a couple of days 😂

Is it considered an Xbox game when I'm playing Minecraft on PC through the Xbox launcher on Windows 11?
Since that's what I'm playing.

A bit of preparation for the new season that is rumoured to start soon in The Division 2. Along with some casual Minecraft

Not really wanting to dive into anything too deep as I am mainly waiting for the premium access of Forza Motorsport to start.

Played 1hr of cocoon last night and will continue to do so over the weekend. It is something special.
Also starfield, finally got the mantis and hopefully that allows me to do a main mission that required a special ship to travel to.
Also might continue wolf among us with the wife...

Starfield. 70 hours in and still a lot left to do. Some Forza Horizon 3 on the side, but I'm buying Phantom Liberty and Separate Ways in 2-3 days so my next WAYP will prolly feature different titles.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen

I had no desire to play this game. Didn’t really know much about it. Then saw DD2 was coming out, so searched it up on the Xbox store and saw DD:DA was under £4. So I nabbed a copy and have put about 10 hours in so far and having a great time with it.

It’s a bit janky in places, but when you get past that you realise it is a stand out and unique RPG from the 360/PS3 era.

Xbox - starfield
Playstation - death stranding, ace combat 5 (ps2)
Nintendo - metroid prime remastered
Pc - deus ex 1

Cocoon & Lies of P

New game plus in Starfield. I'm looking forward to getting different Lodge outcomes in future NG+.
Also started my 7th playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. Nomad Valerie. Liking the changes to stats and skills.

@Cherip-the-Ripper I don't know anybody completes it full stop lol its a greet game if you're into elden ring type games

I've given up on Starfield. It just wasn't for me.

I'm playing riders Republic through the free play days this weekend, enjoying it so far.

Just waiting for Forza really.

The majority of my weekend will be spent playing Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS5. I bought the game the day it released but did not touch the game due to all of the negative reception. And then, I almost started the game once the 1.5 patch released, but was too busy with other games.

However, with the praise of 2.0 and Phantom Liberty I decided to reinstall the game. So far, I’m blown away. I’m roughly 8 hours in and the game has already introduced fascinating characters, intriguing world building, smart and gritty writing that I’m personally a big fan of, and a captivating world that you want to get lost in.

I just finished “The Heist” mission, and the interlude where you get introduced to Johnny Silverhand. The entire concept and how it came together was very cool. Moreover, the voice acting is phenomenal and adds so much depth to the scenes and characters. I have a feeling it’s going to be a fun ride.

As for my other obsession for the past three weeks - I’m taking a (short rest; see what I did there?) break from Baldur’s Gate 3. I’m at the end of Act II after 80 hours and I’m starting to get burned out. Also, I accidentally completed a few minor quests prematurely and overwrote the save file (and I’ll be damned if I reload an autosave that makes me backtrack quite a bit) and that has me frustrated.

Will be wrapped up with Cocoon and get that Batman Arkham kill way too many thugs reward challenge….

Finished Mad Max, now it's Assassin's Creed Valhalla for me.

I've been jumping between loads of games recently can't seem to stick to anything but probably more Cyberpunk trying to get through the main story so i can buy Phantom Liberty.

Starfield and sotn. I'm going to try and hammer these out asap before all these October games hit.

Cyberpunk 2077 - I’ve gone all in on this game. I absolutely love it 😁 the changes to skills and cyberware and how easy it is to respec makes it really fun to play around and explore different builds. Im currently playing as a cyberware ninja, its awesome. Just made it to Dogtown, seems really promising.

Also, Panam 😍

I'm well over 100 hours into Baldur's Gate 3, and am part way through Act 3. I think there might be a possibility of me finishing my solo run of the game during the course of next week, though I'm still in Act 1 with my two mates...

Could anyone possibly tell me how to highlight stuff in bold lettering, please?

I am still playing Starfield. I only have so many hours per day for gaming so it might be a while.

@mac_da_man Panam the mf 🐐

@Fiendish-Beaver Put what you wanna say between [B∆]text[/B∆] without the lil triangles.
Alternatively look up a bbcode guide, lots of goodies.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Starfield mostly. Some Warframe on the side.

Human Fall Flat. Learning how to stack all four boxes in the “Carry” level lol.

I am currently playing Starfield, So much to do in this game..

Mario Kart: Super Circuit (GBA) - Playing a quick run on 50CC.

Contre Jour (Windows Phone) - Finishing this up this weekend.

Thank you so very much, @Cherip-the-Ripper. Really appreciate it... 👍

And now nearly everyone is doing it after your comment... 😂

@Fiendish-Beaver yeah no worries mate, if anything I've always found it a tad bit odd how the majority do their games in bold on these threads but nearly nowhere else 😂
Looking forward to your future bold text contributions 🫡
Actually, if you wanna set yourself apart and really bite into the competition being a beaver and all, might I suggest using italics or underlining instead.

Well, @Cherip-the-Ripper, I definitely did not misread your comment and spend 10 minutes searching my keyboard for the triangles*. Nope! Definitely did not do that... 🤣

*And still didn't find them... 😂

Baldur’ s Gate 3 on Mac. Starfield on Xbox

Just finished Weird West a few minutes ago, right before the cutoff. Phew! Great game! I played it on PC with the first-person mod, which was great for the most part. Really made it feel more immersive for me.

I'm planning on diving into the RE4 Separate Ways DLC next, and I might knock out another chapter in Bayonetta 3 this weekend too.

BG3 still on act 1, been busy this week so game time has been limited.

Other than that Sea of Stars and Lies of P on Gamepass. Just at the very beginning of ‘act 4’ on Lies of P.

Still starfield, working through the UC storyline. Im not completely enraptured, but im having a good enough time 👍
On Ps5 im still playing crew motorfest.

Im looking forward to Forza when it drops and im hoping it delivers what I want.

RE 4 Separate Ways.

Well we got a interesting week for sure. Was able to beat Trails To Azure and try out A.K.I and the Sonic Frontiers update. All top of the line excellence all around. This weekend is kinda simple tho. Doing some more Rain Code to finish out the weekend that’s definitely on the list of games I wanna beat next but I wanna try to do something this week for both Switch and PS5. And that’s play a different game each day instead of going ham on one game to finish. That means after Rain Code and the Foamstars beta on PS5 tonight I wanna play one of these games each day this week. Over on switch: Zelda TOTK, Pikmin 4, Fire Emblem Engage Fell Xenologue, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed, Pokemon Scarlet The Teal Mask and Disney Illusion Island. And on PS5: Baldurs Gate 3, FFXVI, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Mortal Kombat 1, Sea of Stars and Sonic Frontiers. Guess we’ll see in next weeks journal if I was able to do that. Also decided on the games the rest of the year. That’s Detective Pikachu, Sonic Superstars, Super Mario Wonder, Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Like A Dragon Gaiden and Super Mario RPG. Very excited for all of them we have a excellent holiday season of gaming ahead. As for anime we finished a lot this week like Sugar Apple Fairy Tale. While some fall anime have started outside of Spy X Family I can only give one small tease of the ones I’m excited for and that is…… Frieren. Yes that cute little elf girl has stolen my heart already. Very excited and interested. As for podcasts it’s the usual. Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Nextlander, Remap Radio and RPGsite’s Tetracast. Also special shout-out to Critical Roles Zelda TOTK One Shot I think I’ll be using that for my 7 hour cart shift at 9 am on Saturday hahaha. Have a awesome weekend everyone and Happy Gaming.

Was enjoy Starfield but not touched in a week as been playing MK1 on my Playstation 5. Also played little Mario Kart on Switch. Definitely play Starfield tonight!! Kids off to bed soon so then i play!!

@fabisputza007 I also played through Wolf Among Us with my wife who doesn't consider herself a gamer (despite 700 hours with Animal Crossing). She immediately started looking up the Fables comic series. We're looking forward to the sequel.

@Lup Mad Max was so underrated. Loved it. https://youtu.be/HsQn4q6QhdM?si=CLUveXUSfbOawHdf

@mac_da_man Just started a second playthrough with the new updates in anticipation of the newly arrived dlc. A good game is now a great game.

@TJ81 hehe yeah..i tried quite a few games to get my wife hooked, such as sherlock holmes chapter 1 (we both gave up after 3hs)
With the wolf among us im starting to suspect she's just doing me a favor of playing it due to my constant insistence:P

Everspace2, if only the lagging wasn't an issue.
