Condemned: Criminal Origins obviously.
Partially because it still holds up extremely well nowadays.

I gotta re-install and get back to this.
Haven't played it since release but just wasn't in the correct headspace for it at the time.

Huh.
Looks like The Game Awards nomination process continues to be a corporate mess.
At least Silksong got nominated which is good.

And that's all I can say about this continued travesty of an event given that I've yet to actually finish any game released this year.

I'm expecting delays, cancellations, prices to go up, etc. etc.

This weekend I'm continuing Digimon Story: Time Stranger and Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
I will also play more Rift of the Necrodancer and hopefully some more Rogue Trader but I will also finally start Ninja Gaiden 4 and the Xbox version of Monster Hunter Stories 2 and hopefully I'll manage to actually beat the insanity that is the final boss this time around. 😅

I'm currently testing Premium for a month and it honestly feels nice.
I might stick with this tier for the time being.

After having finally moved into my new apartment, I will get back to gaming for real this weekend.

I'll start slow by playing Digimon Story: Time Stranger on Xbox and probably Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle but I might dip back into some PS5 games too.

Have a great weekend, people.

I recall thinking it was decent back when I played through it.
I guess I would give it a 7 out of 10.
Halo 5 was much more enjoyable for me.

Oh well.
At least this gives me more time to catch up on the backlog and all the games I've missed this year due to all my apartment-related crap.

None of the listed ones as I don't use the service but I voted Ninja Gaiden 4 out of obligation.

@Brigurugi
What is it you don't believe?

This weekend I'm playing Digimon Story: Time Stranger and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R.

This weekend I'm continuing to play Digimon Story: Time Stranger and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R.
The move to my new place is fast approaching meaning I don't really feel like focusing on too many games until I am set up in the new apartment.

This weekend I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, probably some more Baldur's Gate III in co-op and also Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with my regular crew.

No idea yet as I haven't played nearly enough of any of the interesting games that have been released this year.
I've been busy with some games from my backlog and I've been playing games very casually ever since June when I signed a contract for a new apartment and ever since, I have also been busy stressing out over that.
But I at least plan on getting back to gaming for real after the move, when I've had time to settle in and I have my regular gaming setup up and running.

Brütal Legend(from 2009, not 2007) is pretty great so that one is my pick.
I honestly don't even mind how it's an RTS given how fun the game is overall.

Psychonauts 2 would have been my second pick.

This weekend I'm going to continue playing Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle aswell as slowly continue my journey through Hollow Knight: Silksong.
On top of those two, I will also finally start the full version of Digimon Story: Time Stranger on Series X aswell as meet up with my group of friends for our weekly Smash Bros. Ultimate hangout.

@Lanmanna
I agree that having to pay to play online is pretty dumb but it's not like I have a choice in the matter if I want to be able to play with my friends and family.
But like I also said, online is the only reason that I, personally, use the service and in that regard, I get what I pay for.
Like, if there was a tier that gave access to online multiplayer and nothing else, I would have jumped to that, no question.

The fact that I can also subscribe to Core for 3 months for less than what 1 month of Ultimate costs is also a huge plus for me.

I'll stick with Core.
I made the jump from Ultimate to that tier back in July and haven't regretted it since.

The only reason I even need the service is for online multiplayer and I already buy any game I want to play so it's a perfect tier for me.

This weekend I'm basically just gonna play Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Door Kickers: Action Squad and probably Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.

Water is NOT wet, look it up.

This weekend, I'm going to focus on Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, Hollow Knight: Silksong(great game but a bit on the easy side so far), Balatro and possibly either Baldur's Gate III or Dead Space 3.
Oh and as always, the Smash Bros. hangout with my crew.

Ah.
No worries, I simply got confused 😅

@HeavyHoggJP
What?
This game doesn't even have any kind of split-screen to begin with.

Crossplay when?

This weekend I'll mainly be playing Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Balatro, all three on Switch.
I will also try to find the time to finally start playing Super Robot Wars Y, also on Switch.
Other than that, I guess the usual Smash Bros. Ultimate hangout with friends is on the cards.
Happy gaming, everyone.

Nah, I'm not really interested.
The price-tag doesn't really help either.

This weekend I'm mainly going to play Balatro, Salt and Sanctuary and Daemon X Machina alongside the usual Super Smash Bros. Ultimate gathering with my friends.
Might also play some Baldur's Gate III in crossplay if the rest of my party is up for it.
I will probably not play Gears of War: Reloaded this weekend since I will probably be playing it exclusively in split-screen with a friend.
Might continue my co-op playthrough of Dead Space 3 tho.

I'm just gonna stick with Skate and Skate 3.

Twice, once back on 360, like maybe 15-16 years ago and then I played through the remaster three years ago, both times solo.
Good game, looking forward to playing through the remake.

I heavily disagree with Microsoft already wrapping up this gen.
You'd think that with the pandemic hitting at the start of the gen and all the ***** related to that mess, they would have at least decided to extend the lifespan of Series X by a few more years.
Also, I personally see no real reason to go further beyond the tech in the PS5 and Series X.
I'd much rather see them focusing on actually releasing games instead of going "Look how powerful this thing is!" and at the same time closing studios left and right.

I probably will not buy Microsoft's next proper home console given that I am satisfied with my Series X and I don't really want to pay even more for a new Xbox than I paid for that one.

This weekend I'll mostly be playing Balatro, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and I will most likely continue with the remaster of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete aswell.

For this weekend I'm going to focus on Lunar Remastered Collection, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and probably the Switch version of Company of Heroes.
As always, I'll play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with my friends and also Balatro.

Pretty good game but they really need to patch the AI behavior because currently the suspects can simply ignore reacting to getting shot aswell as being able to see, react to the player and one-shotting the player seemingly whenever they want, regardless of equipped weapon and regardless of distance.
It was a real pain to deal with in both the mid-to late game missions, and in the two post-game missions, during the playthrough I did with a friend.

@Fiendish-Beaver
I'm in the same boat as you but probably for a different reason, namely that I no longer am subscribed to Ultimate. 😅
So I voted for Ascent too, because it's such a good game.

This weekend I'm going to continue to play the remaster of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete aswell as to sink more time into Risk of Rain Returns and probably play more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with my friends.

This weekend I'm playing the remaster of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, Ready or Not and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate(with friends).

I honestly forgot they were a thing.

This weekend I'm gonna play Ready or Not and the Suikoden 1 remaster

Out of the games on that list I have to pick Ninja Gaiden 4 because it's the only one that won't cost more than 700 kr(that's around $70) here in Sweden but I will play it on PS5 due to Xbox not getting a physical copy for it.

The games this fall I'm the most excited to play on Xbox though are Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion and Digimon Story: Time Stranger.

This weekend I'll prioritize Final Fantasy VI until I beat it.

This weekend I'm mainly prioritizing FFVI and Balatro on Switch but I might try to play more Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP if I have time for it.

Nah, I would not play a remake of Black Flag simply because I'd rather stay away from anything related to that specific game.
That and modern-day Ubisoft kinda fails more than they succeed in my opinion, even if there are a few exceptions here and there that prove modern Ubisoft games can be good, like Frontiers of Pandora and Outlaws.

This weekend, I'm gonna try to get back to playing games after having had an extended period of being too busy to commit to anything.
So...I'm probably gonna play Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP or Sonic Adventure 2(the X360 version) on Xbox, Raidou Remastered on PS5 and then make a real effort to play through FFVI on Switch.

This weekend I will mainly be playing Raidou Remastered, probably some Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics and then more Final Fantasy VI.
I have also started a replay of Code Vein.

@themightyant
Really good points and I do agree with them.
Like...take me for example, I first bought an Xbox One S in late 2019 and didn't upgrade to a Series X until mid 2022 so I very much share your sentiment about not needing to upgrade day one.
Similarly, I bought a PS4 in late 2014, upgraded to a PS4 Pro in early 2019 and then didn't upgrade to a PS5 until mid 2023.

@themightyant
Yeah, you have a point regarding holidays 2027 being a ways off.
But it would still be welcome if the powers that be choose to stay in the current gen just a bit longer, for once.

It would honestly be pretty nice if this generation kept going until 2030, mainly because those first few years of the current one were plagued by the pandemic and the after-effects of that.
But also because I no longer see the point with more advanced consoles than what we have now and because the prices of any new consoles at this point will be way too expensive.
I dunno...maybe I'm just getting old. xD

This weekend I''ll be playing Freedom Wars Remastered and Final Fantasy VI on the Switch, then on Xbox I'll be continuing with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, Space Marine Master Crafted Edition and possibly South of Midnight.

Feels like they've been saying this for two years now and I'm still waiting to be truly amazed by their showcases.
Like, most of the games they release these days are good but in terms of what they charge for most games, they could be better and more affordable.
