Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 19th)

Doodle God (Windows Phone) - Almost done with this, had a blast playing it!

Battleship (Windows Phone) - I like playing this digitally, there are less plastic pieces to step on

Lines: The Game (Windows Phone) - Still making progress with this as well.

Monster Hunter: World - before it leaves Game Pass

I'm going to playing some man of medan and Battlefield 5 on series S, also tempted to try drakes hollow if people are still playing.

On ps4 im hoping to finish biomutant as fast as possible as it's been a borefest to me the last 10 hours or so, if I have time il continue with atelier ryza 2

On switch I will play some more mario and rabbids

The Evil Within 2 on Series X and a few matches in Overwatch here and there on pc.

Will be playing Trails of Cold Steel IV, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Observer on PS4, Bayonetta 2 on Wii U, GTA IV: Ballad of Gay Tony on 360 and Ghost Recon Future Soldier on PS3.

I'm also considering buying a month of Game Pass and playing through A Plague Tale now that a sequel has been announced, as well as season 3 of The Walking Dead.

I'm still playing The Legend Of Zelda BOTW, This game has it's hooks in me..

I recently finished Nier Replicant so I decided to give Nier Automata another go on my xbox (even though Ive platted it twice on ps4 already). I also got a coop evening lined up with Outriders.

On the Switch Im slowly continuing Atelier Ryza 2 and Persona 5 Strikers.

My ps4 is collecting dust as usual.

Assassins creed Valhalla over 100 hours in now.
Once England is finished I’m off to Ireland.

“The medium” and “Forza horizon 4” and finishing “No more Heroes 2” on my switch

Just finished Edith Finch. A bit of the Medium and a lot of The Show.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon now that it's on Game Pass. Enjoying it so far. The cutscenes sometimes go on and on, but thanks to being able to pause it in the middle of them and use Quick Resume, it hasn't become an issue for me. The characters and story are quite good.

I'm replaying Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I platinumed it on PS4 and might as well do it again and get 1000G on Xbox.

I'm surprised that I barely lost any muscle memory from playing it one year ago. I could beat in the first try a few bosses that demanded dozens of tries when I first played.

Also playing Control Ultimate Edition and Forza Horizon 4.

I am in the middle of a Backlog draft. I will be completing Deus Ex Human Revolution and then the Missing Link DLC. If I manage to finish those, It I will be looking to at least complete the story for The Division 2.

Still slowly working my way through Mass Effect Legacy Collection. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll finish ME3 by the end of the weekend.

Trying to finish the campaign in Star Wars Battlefront 2

Finished Gears Tactics.
Picked up Warborn in the sale.
Hoping for some Advance Wars vibes with this one.

Roguebook (PC) - Really nice card based rogue lite from the team that made Faeria.

After reading the piece on crosscode, I decided to fire up my copy on the switch. Initially, I got about a few hours in, then stopped. Something wasnt clicking. Left it, played around, then came across your article. Decided to give it another go. Glad i read the article and glad i did. Also, control ultimate on the series s.

@Chaudy i really enjoyed the campaign in that Battlefront 2. I really haven't been playing the multiplayer for a while so i might be making some more space on the SSD by deleting the game. Titanfall 2 is another game with an amazing campaign and multiplayer but again i haven't been playing the multiplayer for a while.

I'm in a gaming rut. I'll either play something I've played before for some comfort gaming or look for a new single player experience, which admittedly doesn't narrow it down !

Fortunately we're still in the group stages of the Euro's so there's plenty to keep me occupied.

Oh, and its Hell in a Cell Sunday night:)

Wolfenstein 2 on gamepass for me this weekend also

@logicslayer Always love to see people playing anything Deus Ex related! I know most people prefer HR, but personally I think MD is even better - goes on sale for dirt cheap all the time too. Hopefully one of these days they'll give up on the Marvel nonsense and complete the Jensen trilogy.

Just starting Mass Effect 3 after finishing the 1st two games. Just as good as I remembered

I've just got my Series X set up and downloaded some games, so I'll be seeing the differences in the likes of Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves before jumping into Dirt 5 and Yakuza Like a Dragon which I haven't played yet.

Speaking of which, Sea of Thieves is absolutely stunning on next gen

I'm loving the new Metro Exodus series update. Also Yakuza Like A Dragon is hilarious, wacky, but also dramatic and fun.

Currently playing the Shadows: Awakening game on i got with xbox gold. I don't mind it. I can see the flaws but damn it i will finish it haha

Just started control and enjoyed what I’ve played so far. Also trying to regain some semblance of skill back in Halo (it’s going to take some work!)

Tunic is actually pretty difficult, Im getting murked left and right by goblins and exploding slime

@Kilamanjaro indeed, Tunic kicked my butt. It took a while until I figured out how to get past those goblins with shields.

Sable on the other hand is a very promising games. All the good parts of Zelda Breath of the Wild without the breakable weapons BS. But it's still very rough around the edges, I hope they can polish it enough before releasing on September. It could become something special with more work.

@Magabro yeah agree, I think the laggy frames per second as a design choice needs to be corrected for Sable. It looks kinda cool for a bit then it gets a bit choppy and frustrating

Finally finished up my play through of Halo 4 on TMCC. Now I’m going to run through Halo 5 again. Infinite has me hyped. But I need to get my hands on Series X somehow before it’s out.

@everynowandben really interesting how people view MD, I loved HR but couldn't get into the sequel.

I don't think the opening in Dubai is the best (thought the sandstorm closing in is fantastic) but I think more than that, hearing the ending is kinda set up for a sequel which is never going to arrive has made me think 'what's the point'

Tunic. Played it just before this weekend, but it's too alpha to make a good first impression. Especially the lack of a gripping musical score and sound effects, left me unimpressed.

Castlevania Lord of Shadows on my series x! It runs soooo much better now and it graphics are really good dosnt look like a 360 game! And the loading is now non existent

@Tothington91 I agree the opening isn't the best part, but it's still good, and only like 20-30 minutes until you get to Prague. Not a big deal.

I would say "the point" is experiencing a great story, with absolutely incredible gameplay. Just because the ending has a cliffhanger doesn't mean the plot doesn't work or that the game isn't worth playing. Lots of great stories in books, film, and games end with a cliffhanger - also not a big deal. Give it another shot, my friend. It's worth it.

Tried the Tunic demo and, uh, wow. Not at all what I expected from a cute little game featuring a fox. I really like it, though. It's like Dark Souls rated E.

State of decay 2

@everynowandben
You're making me want to replay Mankind Divided. I never did play the DLC, is that any good? I was secretly hoping Arkane Austin was working on a Deus Ex clone with Harvey Smith. Alas, vampires.

@Akimi I just played the MD DLCs a couple weeks ago. I'd say Desperate Measures and System Rift are good, and Criminal Past is great.
If you just want more DX, play them for sure. Just don't expect them to be quite as good as the main game - they're pretty short, and basically standalone experiences.

Making my way through Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Having a pretty good time with it! It’s like “Dark Souls Lite”.
Also, trying to avoid making any purchases and using the summer game drought as an excuse to work through some of my backlog. Not sure exactly what’s next…it’s between Persona 5 (I have a ps3 copy, since my ps4 sounds like it’s gonna achieve liftoff every time I turn it on), the new Dark Alliance game, or Link’s Awakening on my Switch. Any suggestions? Also, Happy Fathers Day!!!

@Bmartin001 when I was playing BOTW, it was all I wanted to play too. Excellent game.

@immensechicken gonna make a run on these games this Octoberween.

@everynowandben Deus Ex is more cyberpunk than Cyberpunk2077 and I love it
