Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 15th)

Switch - Picked up Pikmin 3 Deluxe and Persona 5 Strikers the other day, so probably gonna try those out!

PS4 - Borderlands 3 co-op with friends!

PC - Trying out Morrowind via Game Pass!

Have a good weekend everyone.

If I get to play anything, it'll be Mass Effect for XSX and Returnal for PS5. Got through Village last week and loved it

I finished up Alan Wake the other day and haven’t started a new game yet. I was thinking Mafia 3, Immortal Fenyx Rising, or Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Hmm...
On a side note I managed to give the It Takes Two demo a try and am surprised to say it’s quite great.. I will probably buy it if I can get my wife to commit to playing with me.

Assassins creed Valhalla about 90 hours in
And Doom Eternal, game pass.
A bit of yin and yang there gaming wise.
Once they are completed respectively
I will purchase the game expansion DLC for both.

Will be playing the Dishonored DLC on PS4, Layton's Mystery Journey and Dragon Quest III on Switch, and Assassin's Creed Bloodlines on Vita.

I'm pretty much near the end with all of these games. The DLCs for Dishonored are only a couple of hours long each so I'll definitely be able to finish one of them up this weekend. It's been really fun thus far. In terms of Layton, I'm on the second to last case and I'm estimating that I'll be done with the game within the next couple of days. With regards to Dragon Quest III, I think I still have a fairly big chunk left of the game but at least I'm back playing it now! Finally, I'm on the last sequence of AC: Bloodlines. I've really enjoyed revisiting one of the older AC games but I'm glad that Ubisoft has moved on from that formula because the gameplay feels incredibly clunky compared to today's standards.

I'll also be checking out some Game Pass titles, such as Walking Dead Season Two and Genesis Noir, the last being a very trippy game lol. I'm enjoying my time with it though!

@The_New_Butler I started playing Rain on your parade on Game Pass but found it incredibly repetitive. Do you at least get a lot of achievements throughout the game? That's the only way I'll be convinced to continue playing it, lol.

Zen Pinball 2 (Vita) - I've been in a high score challenge with a friend for the past day lol.

Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series (Windows 10) - Starting Episode 4 this weekend, I hope it isn't as sad as I remember.

Gerbil Physics (Windows Phone) - At the end now.

First.. 100% complete Wrath of the Druids (Valhalla), and then full focus on Mass Effect!

Xbox - Gears of War 4 coop with a friend and Gears 5.

Switch - Atelier Ryza 2, Persona 5 Strikers, Hyrule Warriors (close to 100%)

Ps4 - Nothing

@The_New_Butler Ah okay. Well maybe I'll give it another shot once I'm done with some other Game Pass titles.

@CrazyJF Yeah I kinda did the same thing, which is why I became unmotivated and stopped playing DQ3 right in the middle of my playthrough. I love playing classic JRPGs though and I've never experienced the DQ franchise before these re-releases so I'm definitely having a good time with it now. I'm very much looking forward to playing the later entries the most though, e.g. DQ8 and DQ11.

Making my way through Resident Evil 6 since it's the only main game in the series I haven't played yet before I get into Village. Just finished Leon's campaign. It's kinda clunky in terms of mechanics and feel of movement, but overall it was decent enough for an action horror experience. I had very low expectations going in, but even so, the game at least so far doesn't seem to be quite as bad as people make it out to be. I prefer it to RE5 at this point anyway. Hopefully I can find the time to get through Chris's campaign before Monday.

Also played some Rocket League and Outriders (thankfully with minimal issues) with the guys last night.

My life will be Mass Effect for the foreseeable future. First a play through to shake my rustiness (on Veteran), then a Hardcore followed by Insanity run on each of the games. Standard Paragon and Renegade play throughs.

I'm finishing the main campaign of Avengers (which is awesome, in my opinion) - this game is a true beauty on Series X.
And being Iron Man is so damn fun !

And next week, I plan to begin the inevitable Resident Evil VIII !

I’ve just bought Dying Light again (originally had it on PS4) for the FPS boost...and wow, what a difference! It’s so smooth. Graphics hold up pretty well too considering the game is about 6 years old now 😮 Still trying to finish the main campaign in AC Valhalla, so I can start the new expansion. On the sports front I’m playing PGA Tour 2K21 and some WRC 9.

@LtSarge I really enjoyed Rain on Your Parade for whatever it's worth. To me it felt less repetitive and pushed the mechanics further than similar games like Untitled Goose Game and Donut County. I thought it was funnier than those games as well. Hope you enjoy it if you decide to go back to it!

I made the mistake of purchasing AC Valhalla and i ve been playing that for 4-5 hours in the last couple of days. Nothing against the game, but I can see how addictive and overwhelmed it can be.
I dont think i will have time to play anything besides AC Valhalla for the remaining of the year

Continuing my playthrough of Alan Wake, brilliant game imo, and ended up buying a digital copy so I don't have to rush before it leaves Game Pass.

Also dipped back into The Outer Worlds. I'm a novice when it comes to these first-person WRPGs, so I'd thought I'd wet my toes with this one before tackling the larger ones.

On PS5, most likely some matches of Destruction All-Stars and Rocket League.

I'm on Mass Effect in between blitzing a few quick gamerscore games to complete the quest

I’ve just started the Wrath of the Druids expansion for AC Valhalla, but I’m also playing a little Forza Horizon 4 and Fallout 76.

My time will be spent with the excellent Resident Evil 8: Village. If I can beat it today or tomorrow I'll be diving into Mass Effect Legendary Edition probably for the rest of the summer. Lol.

I've picked up Mass Effect Legendary Edition but for some reason the game just doesn't click with me. I don't why but i just don't like it.. So i'll probably be playing more Monster Hunter Rise and Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.. Happy Gaming everyone..

@fabisputza007 it’s a great game to get lost in, and looks gorgeous too. I’ve just surpassed the 100 hour mark on my play through! It’s easily my most played game on my Series X. Enjoy 😃

ME Legendary edition all the way. One of the best sci-fi stories ever.

MLB the show 21, Fallout 76, Red Dead Online

Actually just doing few stuff in Warframe(PC) and starting with Sea Of thieves. Loving it atm

Mostly Mass Effect. ME1 down already (well mostly, haven’t finished all the assignments).

Man, it feels good to be back. I last played ME3 when it was released in 2012. Completely forgot how good it was. It’s very unlike me to purchase games on release nowadays but ME was too hard to pass on. So far I most certainly do not regret my decision.

X1: Dragon Quest Builders 2
PS4: Genshin Impact and Dragon Quest XI
PS3: Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z and Ratchet & Clank Future: Into the Nexus

I have a lot of stuff on my backlog so I'm generally pretty happy, but I'm also really gettin' antsy for the end of the month so I can pick up Biomutant for my XBone, probably Necromunda Hired Gun too (it's hard NOT to pre-order that when it's pretty much just $30 right now for pre-order on the Xbox store), and even the Ryu/Chun-Li DLC for Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. Lot of stuff is dropping in that last week of May for me.

AC Valhalla on my series S. Put it down due to work about 20 hours in around launch time then just never got back into it, loving it again now though. It looks so good aswell, really happy with my series S! Also playing Pokemon sword on the switch doing some wild area and raid stuff.

Just 100%’d The Walking Dead:S2. Jumping into Full Throttle Remastered and then onto TWD: Michonne. Fully focused on getting as much out of the gamerscore challenge as I can.

At the moment my limited gaming time is taken up by the Gamerscore Challenge. I’ve recently completed Donut County and Full Throttle as part of it, and will now move on to other easy 1000 games I’m interested in (I used up the really easy ones in the last challenge).

I tried TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2, Was very hard, kept crashing into stuff

Finished up the campaign for Gears 5 yesterday. Also playing Forza Horizon 4 still and will be starting up Mass Effect today.

@CrazyJF , naw man, I played Odyssey and I can tell it is fun. I skipped Origin because i heard Odyssey is better.. I've played most of The AC games, with exception to Syndicate and brotherhood. They've been pretty good, but Black Flag was one of my favorites. So check that one out. Happy gaming dude!

@Bobobiwan I really like that game, I'm really good with black widow!!

@fabisputza007 no doubt man, I've took a break from it, i was pillaging every day!!! Might have to pick it up again today!
