Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 17th)

Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) - Making decent progress in this so far. Trying to escape a madman.

Minecraft: Story Mode (Windows 10) - Starting Episode 4 now.

Doodle God (Windows Phone) - Coming back to finish this off now.

Switch - More Miitopia!

PS5 (Yes, I finally got my hands on one!) - Demon's Souls!

PC - Garry's Mod with friends!

Have a good weekend everyone.

Wait, the sub headline reads that you’re playing Judgment on GamePass. But it isn’t on GamePass, right? Had been hinted at but never came…

@awp69 yoooo same, I just woke up to this and thought what a welcome surprise 😭

PS4: Devil May Cry 5
Xbox One: The Walking Dead: Michonne
Xbox Cloud Gaming: The Medium
Xbox 360: Fallout 3 DLC
PS Vita: Steins;Gate
Wii U: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Got a huge rotation going on this weekend! I think I'll be mostly playing DMC5, Fallout 3 and Steins;Gate though since I'm so addicted to these games. Steins;Gate in particular is seriously one of the best games I've ever played, it's so good!

Maneater and FarCry 5

I’m in the 2nd act of Quantum Break so I will be continuing that. I read it was kinda like a movie but I was unprepared for that episode between the acts.So far it’s really interesting.
I will also be smacking some people with dodgeballs in Knockout City.
I also started playing Bug Fables via XCloud the other day and the experience is going well so far. Overall its been really good running on my iPhone and being able to use an Xbox controller via Bluetooth is great. I’ve got one of those MOGA clip style holders which isn’t bad especially since I can still use my phone case in it but it gets a heavy and uncomfortable after awhile because of the way the weight is distributed.I was thinking about getting one of those new iPhone controller set ups that Microsoft is offering because it looks so much more comfortable but $100 seems a little steep and I’m not sure if it would actually be better than my current setup.
I will also be picking up my copy of Skyward Sword 😁. I never got very far in the original because I thought the controls were pretty cumbersome and it became a chore. I’m excited to see how this goes for me!
Have a great weekend everyone!

@Razputinman how is Miitopia? I’ve been considering grabbing it, it reminds me of Fantasy Life on 3DS which I adore.

Sun is finally shining after 2 weeks of rain so Imma head outside this weekend. Ive heard the graphics and framerate is top notch but the grinding is insane and the social aspect is incredibly complex. Probably wont plat.
Have a good weekend everybody!

I'm still playing The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild..

Last night the guys and I played the second tall tale in the Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life expansion, which while very, very pretty, was fairly repetitive overall - definite Zelda water temple influence. The new weapon was pretty fun to use though.

I'm nearing the end of Half-Life 2: Episode 1, and will likely finish it before the weekend is over. It's fine so far - just more of the same. Actually, I'd say it's sortof less of the same.. The story (so far) has minimal impact, and there's nothing really new or exciting going on mechanically. Pretty underwhelming to be honest. Maybe Episode 2 is more interesting?

Is judgment on xbox? I was told its a PS exclusive?

@Mamabear just finished Quantum Break (GamePass quests made me download it and I stuck around after), really enjoyed it and the TV episodes were novel and did a great job of showing character development outside the main storyline. As an Xbox exclusive of last generation I can't understand why this was marketed better. Did 2 playthroughs to get all the choices and difficulty cheevos. It has also urged me to download Control too and give that a spin.

Other than that, the usual Sea of Thieves with family, Warzone with the lads and if I get chance want to check out Bloodroots.

@The-Chosen-one Are you being funny based on that Twitter guy?

I'm still enjoying Outriders at the moment, interspersed with Yakuza 7 and WRC9.

On Series S: Forza Horizon 4. Stil the best damn racing game.
On PS5: Mass Effect 2. Still the 2nd game of the best damn trilogy ever.

Elder Scrolls Online.

I recently bought another Wii….just had a hankering to start playing those older games again. However, Twilight Princess looks atrocious on a 4K tv when played on a Wii, so I might just shelve that and check out RE4 for Wii. Also just grinding some of the Black Ops battle pass and maybe I’ll dive into Persona 5.

Switch: I'm gonna start with skyward sword hd today.
Xbox: Gonna dig some diamonds for my world that i share with my brother in minecraft

I finally finished Mass Effect Andromeda last night with 100% viability, still an odd quest to finish that I might or might not pursue just for the hell of it, so about to pick up another game.

Think I'll be playing Skyward Sword HD that arrived yesterday, though. That should not take me a whole month+ to finish. Not sure if I'll pick anything else, but been meaning to play through all the Watch Dogs games on XBox now that they all are playable at 60fps.

Alternatively, might finally dive into Grounded. Downloaded it last week and been meaning to give it a shot since everyone I was playing Valheim with just quit.

@mousieone
No i am serious, when i read that i stopped following any news on it.

Nothing again for me on xbox until Cris Tales comes out, so il most likely be rotating between scarlet nexus, monster hunter stories 2 and Hunt Showdown

We're playing some Yakuza and Judgment on Game Pass
..goes to see if judgment is on gamepass. Not in the states..

@PhhhCough it’s not on Gamepass 😟. I did the exact same thing and went to check! Just a typo unfortunately but hopefully soon.

@The-Chosen-one Judgement is a next gen exclusive for Xbox as the OG version only went to PS4 but the remastered version is multi. Lost Judgment the new one will be on PS5/XSX/XSS

@mousieone
Thanks for the reply!

Finishing my first run through of Scarlet Nexus and digging into The Show ‘21 a little!

I beat GEARS 5 Hivebusters earlier this week, and since it's rainy, hot, humid and stormy a lot where I am atm, I just wanna play something with a summer vacation vibe. So I'm playing a bunch of One Piece World Seeker and Phantasy Star Online New Genesis to get SOME KIND of vacation feel going on. Also Scarlet Nexus, but I'm in a haunted hospital in that game right now, so... not exactly sporting Summertime vibes, lol. Cool game though!

Also, I just gotta say I'm really surprised to see the co-developer for Scarlet Nexus is TOSE instead of Shift (Code Vein and the first two God Eaters) or Marvelous (God Eater 3) - TOSE's not a major developer. Their thing is NOT taking credit for developing games. Back in the '80s and '90s, they were responsible for some real crap too, boy. Then slowly knocking out solid licensed games in the early 2000s; mostly for handhelds. I legit thought they just quietly went out of business or fully went into outsourcing. I would never have expected them to be behind one of these modern, super gorgeous anime-shaded games Bandai Namco's pumping out along with Code Vein and Blue Protocol - they really stepped up their game! Glad to see they're still around!

Good gaming, everyone!

I've been playing a lot of Generation Zero, on my own. It's an older game but one I wanted to play for ages. It's a bit addictive and tough.

Got my hands on FF anthology for PS1 (so I am Replaying FF VI, I find that version of the game to be the best one, nostalgia maybe, and the loading times don’t bother me at all, Since the amazing score continues playing trough them ) on the Xbox front I am Replaying “Killer is dead” (A game I consider a Masterpiece, and runs like a dream on the Series S) and Finally of course I am playing “Skyward Sword” on the switch (never own a WII or WII U so it is a brand new game for me.)
Oh! And Add short sessions of “Half minute hero” on the PSP, to all the above (I was a good week for game hunting)

First time commenter, made an account just to gush about Elder Scrolls xD

Playing through Oblivion for the first time with Game Pass. Can't believe how much I enjoy a game that came out so long ago. And I haven't really even got into Morrowind yet (the rats keep murdering me and I don't know why I can't hurt them). Elder Scrolls 6 is such a long way away but honestly it can't come soon enough, what a phenomenal world & lore. This is very pessimistic thinking but I worry about the eventual future of the writing of the series as at the current rate, there is no way the original writers/staff will be involved to see it through all the way to the end while showing us a main game in each of the provinces of Tamriel. But for now, I just hope the next game does justice to the ones before it.
