What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Kotaku AU

With my 360 off getting repaired, I’ve been spending a lot more time with my PS3 than I normally would. Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII and Yakuza 3 have all occupied my time in recent weeks, to varying degrees of enjoyment.

But the most pleasure I’ve had is revisiting Valkyria Chronicles. I downloaded all the DLC and started a new game on the hardest difficulty. It’s a total and utter bastard. But otherwise, reacquainting myself with Squad 7 of the Gallian militia has been just the tonic after the previous JPRG I played.

I’m also going to be checking out Just Cause 2 for some crazy antics before heading into yet another JRPG in Resonance of Fate.

What are you playing this weekend?

    I’m just about finished Heavy Rain, and will probably finish that if I can bring myself to. I always find it hard to finish and put games away that I’ve gotten really engrossed in – you can kind of only experience it for the first time once. I always end up finishing them eventually though.

    Other than that, Final Fantasy XIII and maybe Ace Attorney Investigations.
    You’ve reminded me though – I still have to finish Valkyria Chronicles, so I might do that if I get a chance!

    FFXIII all the way, maybe a little WKC grinding but i doubt it.

    Playing Final Fantasy XIII at the moment, currently at Chapter 6. But I might take a break from it to play Yakuza 3, Bad Company 2 or pick a random game from my collection

    I’m working all weekend :/ But have Mon/Tues off so I’ll be able to divide my time between FFXIII if it arrives in the mail in time and I’ll play BC2 MP on PC for a few hours here and there. I will not rest until I can unlock a decent scope. Is it just me or is it too long between getting half decent upgrades for the guns?

    Trying to finish my touch-table to play the RUSE beta, and revisiting Halo ODST after watching the Reach footage, I got a little Halo hungry again.
    BTW, what happened to your 360, and was it a Jasper?

    FF13. Engrossed with it. HAPPY that for once I don’t have to spend 30 hours of gameplay travelling back and forth between areas in the name of open gameplay, and that I don’t need to ask myself why these people trying to save the world are spending ages racing chocobos or playing blitzball or whatever. Thinking a lot of the complaints about Vanille’s chirpiness are people who weren’t paying attention to her first voiceovers (or the many contextual clues) that she’s intentionally puttin on a fake smiley front to cope with the situation. Thinking a lot of the people complaining about Hope were just as whiney at his age :). Psychologically it is (so far) more realistic than JRPG heroes often are…
