What are you playing this weekend, SW?

I got my replacement PS4 and Switch, baby. Been playing Last of Us 2 the past week. Have close to 20 hours in. This is a pretty lengthy game. I'm guessing I have like 5 more hours left. It's been an awesome experience so far, definitely a contender for GOTY. And then after that I'll be hopping back into Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Not a bad weekend, indeed. What about you, SW? What are you playing this weekend? Oh, and I put in an order for Wario colored joy-cons. Should I keep or cancel?!

Dantes Inferno ( Xbox 360) . Damn lost my maxed out Dante save from many years ago playthrough for some reason, have to start over lol.

Remnant: From the Ashes.

I've been trying to get into Souls-likes for years. In theory, it's a genre I should like; I like dungeon crawling, I like action RPGs, and I like getting smashed in the face by a flying brick wall, just for the high of when I eventually smash it back and actually break it. I tried Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, but my eyes glazed over the moment I saw the character and inventory screens, and I kept feeling like I had to wrestle with the controls to get anywhere. So I gave up.

So I looked for another game. Souls-like is a very popular genre, which proved a double-edged sword; there are a lot of options, but it took a long time to go through. In the end, I narrowed dozens of candidates down to just two: Remnant: From the Ashes and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Remnant clinched it by being cheaper and not needing Origin.

So far, pretty fun. Had to get used to the "aim to shoot" controls, which wasn't too hard because I've played Resident Evil 5. Yeah, the boss fight adds are a bit annoying, but I personally didn't have too much problem with them so far, and every time I died I still felt like it was my fault. Now, to see if I can solve a problem I hear is common in Souls-likes; I can't find any weapon that's better than my starting rifle...

@madrocketeer: that's one of IP Dailys favorite games. If you want a Souls like experience in platformer form try Hollow Knight.

Been replaying RDR2 as bad Arthur which is really fun lol. I also started replaying TLOU remastered had a itch to go back to it after finishing the sequel.

Gonna play Worms: WMD with friends today 😎

The Last of Us 2 is just exceeding my expectations. I love everything about it and will continue to play it this weekend.

I also plan on checking out Ori and its sequel.

Come on, I'm not about to sleep every night snuggling up to a Xbox and start shitting on games that don't have hunks of metal that go "vroom" in them. I just consider it a nice and familiar entryway into Souls-likes. I have Hollow Knight: Silksong on my GOG wishlist and plan on giving Dark Souls II another go once I'm done with Remnant.

Going through my second play with Last of Us 2 & Void Destroyer 2 I got on sale from Steam sale going on now.

A whole bunch of Trackmania

And keep the joycon order. I have those and they look great

AC:Syndicate Jack the Ripper DLC. It’s not too good lol.

Nothing, gaming is boring AF nowadays seen it all before no new experiences no more cutting edge graphics or gameplay or physics it's meh.

Nothing. I'll be away for the weekend to visit relatives.

Ps4: Resident Evil 5

Switch: FM 20

Mutant Mud Collection

I finally eased up on my ban on buying new games due to actually finishing up some games, disregarding some games after trying them and...well...the steam sale :D.

No more xenoblade for me which is kinda sad :(. looking forward to number 3/X2. hopefully monolithsoft are fully back on form.

anyway i finished portal 1 (another off the backlog...i know shameful i left it so long) and am now onto portal 2 (which has one of the greatest intros to a game ever).

I got two point hospital (+ expansions), cities skylines (and a bunch of expansions) and stellaris (and an expansion or 2). i think i just undid all the work of clearing my backlog :S.

i have been a bit addicted to two point hospital since i got it. its quite fun making profit off the suffering of oth.....i mean helping virtual people :P. it's a bit easy so far but its a nice and relaxing game.

i may tackle stellaris a bit this weekend also.

Divine Divinity - Fun and longass game, but holy shit is the balance wack

Skyrim, Minecraft, Stardew Valley

ughh

fuk lockpicking in Kingdom Come

other than that, cool rpg, but wer stuck

@uninspiredcup: that's on my to-do list - never played it

I'm playing the 'How Do I get Internet after Workers Cut My Fiber Line' game

FFVII Remake and SoR4.

Recently picked up a new 2DS XL for $140 Canadian at a local Walmart. I’ve had an original 3DS ever since it launch and I’ve been wanting to get the newer system for the bigger screens, faster processor, extra analog stick, etc. for awhile now. It looks like they’re clearing out the inventory and there were only two left so I jumped at the chance and grabbed one. Such a nice improvement over the original. I have a bunch of 3DS games in my backlog and this will make it so much better to go back and play some of those.

Other the that I’ll definitely be playing more Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition on the Switch. Swimming has now come to ACNH. Woo hoo!

Going to go deep into astroneer this weekend. The automation update is awesome.

P4G. Goofed, and thought I had Adachi's S Link at 6 and didn't realize until December. I keep a save spot per day, but I couldn't go back far enough. Gonna have to NG+ for the Golden content.

@xantufrog: It's basically Ultima with Diablo combat. Been chugging ' at it for at least 40 hours not even half way through it.

I just beat the game.. I think it sets the standard for storytelling in games. The gameplay was great too. Definitely moves the industry forward. As for Ori, those are both great games. I really enjoyed them!

After taking a break from The Last of Us 2 I'll re-play God of War on NG+.

Doing GMGOW. Not as hard as thought tbh...

Pass some time on Call of Duty MW. Play 200 player multiplayer mayhem.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut

What a load of shit, maybe more so than the actual story LOL.

Yeah its shit, I stuffed up and I don't think you can restart it :(

Are you besties with casual4ever?

Was in the middle of both Dark Souls 3 and FFXII TZA and just not motivated to continue either. Both good games, just ran out of steam.

Soooo just been messing around in MGSV with the Infinite Heaven mod. Always been a dope mod, but they added a lot to it since last I used it.

It's some weird shit tho. Its like its become a struggle for me to finish longer games. Yet I'll play the **** out of a shorter game so much that I spend more time on it than a longer game. Like SOR4, less than 2 hrs long, racked up about 70 hrs on it real quick. Similar with DMC5, about a 10 hr game, got 80 hrs out of it in a few weeks time. And still want to play both lol.

Like two peas in a pod. You wouldn't be able to tell us apart if we were walking down the street towards ya.

I wouldn't need to, as I would just ask your carers which is which lol.

Oh, you can see them? Your power of observation astounds.

Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Its a shame yours doesn't :(

I was going to continue playing Borderlands 3 & Remnant, however i'm gonna give them a break and knockout Xenon Racer over the weekend.

Bah, don't mind me, I'm old and jaded. Rocking back and forth on my chair on the porch, clutching my shotgun in one hand and waving a cane in the other at those damn kids to get off my bloody lawn. When you're as jaded as I am and seen as much bullshit as I have, you learn to take things less seriously - including yourself.

I'd say many people could benefit from learning that same lesson, but bah, don't mind the rambling of some old codger like me.

Don't worry I won't lol.

Quality is what matters. :) Longer games tend to be more diluted.

TLOU2

Playing some COD deathmatch and a bit of Warzone even.

And then some Factorio and Cities: Skylines

@ConanTheStoner: I get that. I tend to struggle to finish longer games these days, even ones I really like.

I've avoided replaying DS3 because I know that same thing would happen to me lol even though it's my favorite Souls game. Shorter games are more digestible and less intimidating to go back to.

I have a love/hate relationship with Control. The gameplay is cool, but the game itself is boring/tedious lol.
