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.

This weekend I'm gonna be playing Final Fantasy VI, Freedom Wars Remastered and possibly GTA San Andreas(first proper playthrough) on Switch and on Xbox I will play the Marvel vs. Capcom collection as a way to re-introduce myself to fighting games for real aswell as maybe some more Hollow Knight.
Tomorrow I got friends coming over for a birthday celebration so I guess we will primarily play Smash Bros. Ultimate and other 4-player games.

That's kinda all since I don't really feel like trying to beat the nightmare that is Trokka in The First Berserker.

Have a great weekend, all of you! 😁

I will 100% play the Space Marine remaster.

That's all.

This weekend I will continue playing The First Berserker: Khazan(basically made it past Maluca the other day), Final Fantasy VI(goes pretty slow though), my second playthrough of Space Marine 2, probably Clair Obscur or DOOM: The Dark Ages and also gonna play more The Precinct.

But naturally, my plans could end up falling apart and I might end up playing something completely different all weekend. 😅

My plans?
Same as always, read news articles after the thing is over to catch up on what was shown.
I avoid these types of showcases like the plague.

I have no real interest in whatever this might be and for handheld gaming I already have a Switch anyway so that's big nope from me.

Hmm...
This weekend I will primarily continue playing Final Fantasy VI on Switch(my first ever playthrough), The Precinct, DOOM Eternal and possibly Clair Obscur on Xbox, and on PS5 I will mostly play Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO but should probably continue playing The First Berserker: Khazan too.

I wouldn't pay that much for any game on any system but the sad truth is that there are some games where I am "forced" to do so when I really want to play something.

Lately, I've started waiting for them to go on deep sale though, even in the cases where one such overpriced game is on Game Pass.

Sad to see Cassette Beasts go.
Definitely one of the best indie games in recent years.

I'm at the same time happy that I managed to play through Remnant II twice before now, not because it's a particularly good game(it's honestly a pretty bad game with a bunch of really awful bosses) but more because I had the chance to play it with friends and I guess that made the experience bearable.

This weekend I'll be playing The Precinct, DOOM: The Dark Ages(actually scratch that, I'm gonna replay Eternal instead, much better game), Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO, possibly some Clair Obscur and maybe I'll finally get back to The First Berserker: Khazan in order to make progress.
Oh and Balatro on the side as usual.

Would be cool to be able to hide ads on the dashboard completely.

Definitely Gears Tactics but Gears 5 and the first Gears of War are close behind.

@FarmDog08
Oh that's not what I referred to, I have no issue with the active defense mechanic.
I'm more talking about how most fights so far are over in just a minute or so due to the absurd damage my attacks and skills do.
Like, I guess I would have preferred if my own damage output wasn't as high as it is.

This weekend I'm probably going to continue playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 which finally arrived in the mail a few days ago(I'm just past what I assume is the tutorial dungeon), feels good so far even if it's a little too easy in general, hopefully the game actually gets harder and less flashy the further in I get.

I will also continue playing Far Cry 4, Crysis 2 Remastered(my third playthrough), Balatro and probably something else.

Killer Instinct definitely needs to go multiplatform.

Both types are good.
It depends on the game.

This weekend I will mainly play Aliens vs. Predator(the one from 2010), Crysis 2 Remastered and Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO.

This weekend I'm continuing my playthroughs of Mafia III and The First Berserker: Khazan alongside Dragonball Sparking! ZERO and Balatro.
Probably gonna play more Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered too.
I may also test Oblivion Remastered to see just how badly it has aged.
I want to play Clair Obscur too and it is downloaded but I think I'll have to wait with that one until I finish some other turn-based RPG's I have in my to do list.

@jesse_dylan
I apologize.
It seems I was looking at what the Deluxe Edition costs, I see now that just the standard game costs 599 kr(pretty much $63) which is a bit more acceptable.
Thank you for helping me realize my mistake. 😅

The saddest part about this, for me, is that I legit thought the remaster or whatever this is was super-cheap, until I realized I was looking at the wrong thing.

Like, I would have bought this game if it had actually cost $10.

But seeing it go for what a fully priced game usually costs these days made me instanope on that idea.

This weekend I will mainly continue chipping away at The First Berserker: Khazan, one boss at a time and man...I love this game.
Levels themselves are not the most special but the real meat of the game is the Sekiro and Lies of P-inspired deflect heavy combat system and the boss fights which, so far, have all been very challenging and very fun to slowly learn the patterns for.

In addition to that, I also plan to continue playing Balatro during downtime and maybe I can also start Promise Mascot Agency.

Happy Easter, everyone. 😄

This weekend I'm gonna play The First Berserker: Khazan on PS5, Balatro during down-time(Xbox or Switch), and probably South of Midnight(Xbox, obviously).
Will probably also continue my replay of God Eater 3 on Switch

My favorite games released this year are as follows, in order:

Tales of Graces f Remastered
The First Berserker: Khazan
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land
AI Limit

Haven't really bought or played many other games released this year yet.

I am personally very un-interested in this.
I was never a big fan of the original game to begin with and in the...checks notes...just over 20 years since its release, I've just moved on from it.
The memes it has spawned over the years are nice though.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Not all X360 games are playable on Series X/S, sadly.
Out of 2,155 games that were released for Xbox 360, there are "only" 632 games that are.
Wolfenstein from 2009 is not among them.
And out of those 632 games, some are only playable if you have the disc version, primarily ones that never got digital versions, examples include Batman: Arkham Origins and F.E.A.R.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Well, truth be told, I currently don't really have any game I am super-focused on so I just play shorter sessions here and there until I find something that clicks with my mood.
That, plus two of the games are literally ones I play when I want to turn off my brain and relax(Balatro and Guilty Gear) so I do not count them as games I need to concentrate on but that's just how my brain functions. 😅

As for Khazan?
I'd say it's basically a much better take on Nioh's general formula but with bigger emphasis on Sekiro-style deflects and with a much better combat system than the one in Nioh, it just takes some getting used to it's particular rhythm.
Of the two bosses I've defeated so far, both have been challenging but fun as hell to learn the patterns for.
But it's still too early for me to form any substantial opinions on the game other than that I like it a lot.

This weekend I'm gonna be playing Atelier Yumia, Guilty Gear Strive and Balatro on Series X, The First Berserker: Khazan on PS5 and on Switch I'll most likely play Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet.

This weekend I'm playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

This weekend I'm playing Condemned: Criminal Origins and Trails through Daybreak(finally back at it) with some Balatro on the side.

This weekend I will hopefully finish Astro Bot.
Think I only have like one world left or something.

As long as it still has split-screen co-op campaign and horde mode, I'm perfectly fine with PvP getting yeeted out the window.

This weekend I'll mainly play Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition and Balatro.

Hmm...guess I will be continuing to fight my way through the endgame in Granblue Fantasy: Relink this weekend.
My nights will most likely be spent with Balatro on Switch.
I also think that I will continue to play either Star Wars Jedi: Survivor or Tales of Graces f Remastered, not sure yet.
