What are you playing this weekend, SW?

I recently beat Pikmin 4 which was a great laid back kind of game. My next big game will be Xenoblade Chronicles X. In the mean time, might go back to backlog and play some Ninja Gaiden Black 2 or Dragon's Dogma 2. May check out Avowed but the reviews were meh. What about you, SW? What are you playing this weekend?

Still playing BotW, beat the Elephant type boss last night.

Avowed..

started a little bit this week but looking forward to truly diving in over the weekend..

Cycling between The Talos Principle and Sekiro. Keeps me on my toes.

FF7 Rebirth, new Fortnite season, UFO 50

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test had a post-game survey. I asked for more Bloodborne.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom

Just started Fire Emblem: Engage, so probably more of that. Had planned to get Three Houses, but my kids got interested in the series because they like the Smash Bros reps (Lucina especially). Engage's Saturday morning cartoon plot, look, and emblem spirits seemed more up their alley than the morally grey political intrigue of Three Houses.

Played some CoD multiplayer earlier today and planning to jump back into Avowed,better than the review GameSpot gave it. In my opinion 8/10. I do like it.

Still playing Avowed, but Ill alternate between that and Pirate Yakuza.

I've been playing Sleeping Dogs. Beat the game this morning. An open world game finished in under 20 hours. Perfect!

I'm gonna play blasphemous and the Sabatour next.

Every time I read what you’re playing, I have to check the date to make sure I didn’t skip back to SW from like 10-15 years ago lol

Vita-Dragons Crown-Unit 13

PS5-Sea Of Thieves

Series X-Halo MCC

@SolidGame_basic: I've been burning backlog for a long time.... Lol.

Bought the PlayStation version of Resident Evil 2 Remake a little while ago so am currently playing through that game again on the PS5. On the XSX am playing Avowed via Game Pass.

Just going to finish up my Lavos Prime farm in Warframe. Need a couple more relics (one more Neo X1 and one more Axi M6) before I jump into radshares.

Then I'll jump back into the Total War: Warhammer III AI Beta, which just got updated with the latest hotfix. I'd say the AI is mostly fixed, bar a few random weirdness. I know I'm supposed to give CA feedback on the Beta, but I'm just having too much fun after putting the game aside for months.

I still haven't forgotten about Hogwarts Legacy; I'm just busy with Lavos Prime farm. Once I'm done with that, I want to take breaks from Warhammer with a few sessions.

Avowed and Octopath Traveler 2 on Gamepass.

I’m undecided but probably Madden 25. Maybe mop up Hearts of Iron IV. Figure out how to play Old World.

I can not wait for MLB 25 The Show; I hope it is something special.

Black Myth Wukong - just passed that annoying iron ball in chapter 5.

High on life - just played 1 hour the other night so might give it another go.

And maybe some Apex, Sea of Thieves and Helldiver 2 with the boys

Dark Souls 2 and I'm not sure what else...

Still trying to finish Stalker 2 and starting to dip my toes into Avowed

did they fix all the bugs??

:P

Avowed and Path of Exile 2.

They fixed a ton. But, IMO, I don't think you are losing much by not playing it.

Steam deck - RE4R.

I dont feel like playing anything games on my PC/PS5.

Me and friends have a hard time waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds, so probably Monster Hunter World.

Might continue PoP: TLC as well.

For all those who get to play Xenoblade X for the first time...know that I hate you all. I hate you all soooo much! 😋.

Finished Cat Quest on the Switch. On to Cat Quest 2. So basic but a nice game to play before hitting the sack. I got my 1.50s worth out of it anyway.

On the PC front: Still on Robocop Rogue City. Still enjoying it....good solid game. Waiting for Kernel 6.14 and Proton 10 before I get stuck into Horizon Forbidden West and FF 7 rebirth (also a few more patches for rebirth would be good....where is XESS and FSR Square!?).

I disagree on the second point - its probably my favourite open world to spend time in since RDR2. I think its a great game if you are into slower paced survival shooters.

but its still a bit rough around the edges, especially when it comes to optimization, even with the patches. If you are interested but not in a rush to play it, giving it another 6+ months to marinate is probably a good idea. I suspect there will be some amazing mods for this eventually as well.

Been having a bit of fun trying to teach my nephew how to use the dualsense. Only playing a few racing games to teach him how to use the thumb sticks.

I'm just playing Avowed. I think the voice acting is superb and I like the combat. I really feel like I'm doing damage when I swing my mace at an enemy.

Just bought Turbo Kid so that

81 meta Avowed

Persona 3 Realoded

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black

Both from Gamepass!

So you're playing a soldier type or is it a mix of sorts?

RE4 and Stalker 2. Picked up S2 for $55 today.

Yeah, I'm a fighter. I never use ranged weapons or magic. From a stall in Paradis, I had an option of buying an axe or a mace -- and I chose the mace because it does more damage (it's slower though.) I use a shield as well.

I can respect that opinion. It just didn't grab me, but it's true to the original (yet improved). So, if you like the first one, I can see liking this one. Not sure what I was expecting, but it just didn't set my soul on fire.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PS5 Pro plays really smooth, much better than OG PS5. Looking forward to what Sony does with the first party games to push the hardware more.

Avowed for now.

Tried out Kena: Bridge of Spirits and I’m intrigued! Might have to keep playing..

Went back and played the pack in astro bot easily the best pack in game on any system. Looks beautiful.

Kingdom Come 2, quest design and writing is very good

Sticking to my plan of playing only one game.

And that game is the wonderful, super duper fun Avowed.

Fun fact: the voice actor of everyone's favorite Turian from Mass Effect plays a prominent role in Avowed. So if you want some more Garrus in your life, come play Avowed.

Just one of my favourite games ever, Lollipop Chainsaw Repop. This remaster really should've been a lot better, it's got extra jank that wasn't in the original and QTEs sometimes don't seem to work for me. But I'm also really glad I can play it on a modern system with some extra content and can mod in the original soundtrack.

Played a bit of guardian heroes on the 360 still a fun game in short bursts.

Playing some Avowed it's a fun and interesting game and has some fun combat fights especially if you're playing on Hard mode. It's not a 10 game but it's not a 6 game like fake GS gave it either. Avowed is a good 7ish to 8ish type game with fun exploration and combat and a nice beautiful fantasy world to explore.

Oh yeah and Garrus is in Avowed so it's automatic WIN!!!!!!

66% through Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 with over 100 hours played, so I probably won't finish the game this weekend, but I plan to start Avowed after I finish. It has truly been a masterpiece and one of my favorite games of all time.

Fallout: New Vegas (PC)

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Xbox Series X)

TMNT: Turtles in Time (Switch) - SNES port off of the collection

Tried the Resident Evil 4 demo again. Strange how soon the bell rings. The fight in the town square is longer and more intense in the original. I didn't even go into the house containing the shotgun this time.

What's the point of incorporating stealth elements, the uncool crouch and head stab, when the game always puts you against a brick wall where you have to start shooting anyway? The town square lets me only stealthily kill two women, all the rest of the villagers standing always towards the camera as I peek around the corner, or try to with this cam that doesn't let you swap shoulders.

I asked myself if Leon really took up so much of the screen in the original. I turned the original on and found that he did. I accepted it back then, and I could surely get into the game again. Played it again after the HD texture project was completely and still really liked it. But it makes me mad that I keep having to use this camera in so many games. He takes up so much central space even before the intense zoom when aiming with the right mouse button or left trigger, with no shoulder swapping, and the excuse I've seen some people make about people not being able to shoot as well with their offhand is dog shit. The characters could still hold the gun the same way, only the camera would be on the other side. Makes working the corners so crappy, way crappier than it would be for them.

Floatier movement.

Music is crappy.

Runs well. Some weird shimmering over Leon's gun. Some weird flashing plant shadows.

Leon looks sickly.

@WitIsWisdom: what do you love most about Kingdom Come 2?
