Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 1st)

Will be playing Dishonored on PS4 as part of Game Club. From what I’ve played so far the game is really fun and fast-paced, it’s definitely right up my alley. I’ve had this game in my backlog for years now so I’m looking forward to finally going through it!

Other games I’ll be playing are Layton’s Mystery Journey on Switch and Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines on Vita. The first is such a cozy visual novel/puzzle game and fits so perfectly on Switch in handheld mode. I’m absolutely loving it so far! I’ve also been craving some old school Assassin’s Creed and Bloodlines is the only one of the traditional ones that I have yet to experience. It’s pretty fun so far and it’s really incredible how they managed to fit a game like this on the PSP.

Switch - Starting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy!

PS4 - Borderlands 3 and GTA Online with friends!

PC - Alien Isolation via Game Pass!

Have a good weekend, everyone.

Although I haven’t finished Outriders with my first character yet (trickster), I’ve just started another character (techomancer) which is also enjoyable to play as, so I’ll be alternating between them! Also playing R-Type Final 2, PGA Tour 2K21, the never ending (in a good way) Assassins Creed Valhalla, Destroy all humans (GP), and The Division 2.
Hope you have a great weekend guys!

I will play some more Watch Dogs Legion as I think I've nearly finished the main story missions, some COD MW, and something in my Game Pass list of which I have many to choose from. May bash though Gears 5 Hivebusters again as it looks awesome!

Xbox: Currently playing through Lego Marvel Super Heroes, This game is alot of fun and i'm having a blast with it..

Switch: Currently playing through Monster Hunter Rise story, The game is great and very addictive..

Xenoblade Chronicles 1, Fable 1, Gears of War 2 & Sonic 2

Moto GP21, WRC 9 and might fit in some Overwatch.

I'm just finishing up on Hollow Knight on XSX, and I should be able to pick up my copy of Returnal from Currys on Saturday evening. My son got Mario Party on the Switch for his birthday last week, so I'm sure he'll want to have a few games on that too

Might drop into second extinction and if I'm on today (Saturday) I'll definitely play at least one game of Titanfall 2. I need to progress in battlefield 1 as well so ill try and do that as well. With a very limited time for gaming it could all go out the window quickly.

Returnal and a dab of Destroy all Humans

I've finally started to play Marvel's Avengers on Series X, and honestly I'm quite surprised.

Because this game is very good.

I totally understand the bad buzz about micro-transactions, the cash-grab attitude (I'm not putting a single dollar in this - I already payed the game full price when it launched !), so yeah, it really should now goes the free-to-play road. Or at least the gamepass road.

But nevertheless, the game in itself is... quite awesome. It's a beauty. But really, like something you show to your friends to demonstrate how powerfull your new console is.

The gamepaly is quite cool, too, and furthermore : the story - and its narration - is really, really good.

So, for any Marvel fan (which I totally am), it's a must-play. Really.

I don't care about endgame or multiplayer or this kind of things. As far as I'm concerned, it is an EXCELLENT solo beat'em all, with a very good story and some awesome graphics !

So, if you're an Avengers fan and just want to enjoy your favorite characters in a good storyline, you should definitely give it a try.

And if it comes to gamepass, one day, I predict the game's community will suddenly rise from the dead.

I’m still chugging along in Journey to the Savage Planet. I initially started it thinking it wouldn’t be a long experience but that seems to be incorrect for me. I’ve finally entered the spire and I think I’m at the last boss. However I still have so many upgrades/ collectibles that I haven’t come across so I’ll be continuing on with this.
I also am going to pick up my new copy of Pokémon Snap today!

@Bobobiwan Agreed on this! The campaign is an absolute blast - especially for someone who loves the comics and world. I’d love to see the series continue more focused on that. I’m actually really excited for the Wakanda expansion!

The Walking Dead: Season Two (Vita) - I've quickly reached the final episode again.

Battleship (Windows Phone) - The difficulty in Story mode has been all over the place...

Gerbil Physics (Windows Phone) - Past the half way point now.

TITANFALL 2 BAAAYYYYYBBBBEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was playing Nier Replicant until yesterday when all my save files became corrupted. So I'm waiting for a patch until I jump back in. In the mean time I'm playing Gears 5.

Still taking care of some things post-story in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Then might play some Forza Horizon 4 or pick up where I last left off on in Dishonored for the Game Club here.

Wouldn't mind trying Second Extinction, but don't have any friends in the US that are playing it. I would only play online games anymore if I have somebody to play with.

XSX: Second Extinction and Immortals Fenyx Rising.

PS5: Marvel’s Avengers. I, for one, think at least the single player campaign is pretty solid and fun!

Destiny 2 (catching up)
New Pokemon Snap (nostalgia)
Titanfall 2 (current resurgence)
Apex Legends (squad needs me)
Rocket League (5 games per day)

My friends and I were able to try out Second Extinction last night - we were having a blast with the game itself, but we ran into loads of issues: getting booted and sometimes unable to rejoin, graphical glitches, one glitch left us unable to meet an objective (couldn't attach 4th booster to container - luckily there are a few more than absolutely necessary), all of the dinos temporarily froze in place at one point, a supply drop got stuck 15 ft off the ground and unreachable, lagging dinos/teammates/mine carts, at one point the game thought I was still outside of the objective area and my buddy couldn't see me even though I could see him, and he had to quit the game in order for me to progress - unfortunately both my friends were unable to rejoin and I had to finish the mission solo - so yeah, lots of issues left to iron out here. Topped off the night with a few rounds of Rocket League.

XB1: Homefront Revolution and Halo Reach. Still slowly headed towards whenever that TimeSplitter 2 arcade machine shows up, and just generally taking my time with Homefront trying to enjoy it for what it is (I don't play many open world FPS games). And Halo Reach has just been on my backlog for some time, so I'm slowly working my way through that too. Pre-loading DQ Builders 2X as well - I have a copy on PS4 but it's currently with my sister. That game rules though, so I can't wait to start again on Game Pass as soon as it unlocks on Tuesday

PS4: Genshin Impact and Dragon Quest XI

PS3: Ratchet and Clank Future: Into the Nexus. Never played it; the Ratchet games up until the PS4 always came out so regularly that I just couldn't drum up any enthusiasm for certain entries so I skipped this one on release. With Rift Apart getting attention lately, I'm keen to find out how the last original game leads into it. I picked this up for $10 when Sony said they were shutting down the PS3 store so its time to check it out finally.

Dreamcast: I bought some CD-Rs at a Rite Aid so I can burn that E3 demo of Castlevania Resurrection that leaked over the week and give that a shot Also I gotta burn a bunch of those Atomiswave games that came out a few months ago too, like Sammy's Dolphin Blue, Dimps' Rumble Fish and Dream Factory's Kenju. Exciting times for the ol' Dreamcast as long as you can find CD-Rs/CD-RWs, lol!

Just started rain on your parade. Simple and enjoyable. And I’ve got Grim Fandango lined up next. Viva La Gamepass.

Outriders. Pretty much Outriders.

Resident Evil 4 ! Never played it before (sacrilege I know) and I've gone from thinking what the hell is this to hell yeah what a game. Really is something special this and enjoying every minute
