For once, I don’t have to play World of Warcraft this weekend.
That doesn’t mean that I won’t play World of Warcraft this weekend.
Oh gawd.
This weekend I have a couple of gaming plans. I think I might try and pick up where I left off on Wind Waker HD on the Wii U, but I’m also keen to play a little bit of The Last Of Us on PS4. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no way I’m going to play through the entire game, but at the very least I’m keen to play through that brilliant first section, just to see how the visual updates affect the experience. I think that’ll be fun.
What are you guys and girls playing this weekend?

I’ll be trying to get a hold on Darkwood, the permadeath is pretty unforgiving especially when you get chased and killed by something you can’t see!
I picked up where I left off in 3d dot game hero yesterday, so I imagine my spare time will be spent between that, and Marvel Puzzle Quest.
BOARD GAMES!
Also, Civ V
You are too much for me Civ V, you sonofawhoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you.
Heh, I wasted pretty much all of Thursday on a game of Civ V. I’m hoping it doesn’t sink it’s teeth in on again on the weekend.
New patch is out for Star Citizen dogfighting so going to give that a go. Otherwise I’ll spend my time finishing Braverly Default and giving Kane and Lynch 2 a go from the Humble Bundle. Everyone has always said it is terrible but I’ve always been interested in it’s style.
Everyone was right, its horrible, like proper should never have been released horrible.
I very much enjoyed the first one, but goddamn… did i mention how horrible the second was?
Awwww man 🙁 thanks anyway. I guess the visual style is what really interested me.
I beleive you missed out the part where it is horrible.
Chipping away at a civ V map. First game I have acted aggressively towards the other civs and it is fun! *evil laugh, stroke cat*
Also started bravely default, using villagers I gained from demo to rebuild the town.
Gonna try and finish RAGE, then I dunno. Probably Deus Ex on Wii U, as I’ve been planning been planning to play it for years in various different formats and never got around to it.
Although I’m currently between jobs, so I’ll probably continue on to play them most days for the next 2 weeks 🙂
I went back to play Deus Ex: DC and I was so happy that I did. You’ll have a great time.
Hopefully getting my Playstation controller to usb adapter so I might play a bunch of platformers, probably Super Meat Boy and Yoshi’s Island.
Super sexy modded Skyrim & Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
I want more Wow updates though so you best get up in Azeroth’s face and try not get ganked in Stranglethorn
I think i’ll be doing the same. One of my WD’s carnevil gear is finally coming together, so i’ll be testing out some T6 rift runs with my legion of spitting minions! MWAHAHAHAAAAA
Awwww nice, Been farming the Earth set for my Barb.. It’s a slow process
If Strike Suit Zero is out today for Xbone I’ll download it later tonight and jam that over the weekend along with some Fifa 14 seasons.
I have a tournament for Warmachine. I’m bringing Motherwracking epic Reznik!
After that I don’t know. Halo: Reach or backlog. Maybe play some more 2DS.
Go Orsus or go home.
Pfft, Butcher aint got nothing on me. I’ll take away your spells and then charge your army. Not like he’s going to support them.
E1 don’t need no support, its always just a chop happy time when he is around. That said I don’t mind rolling my Conquest or Behemoth for poops and giggles.
The only shame is that our Warmachine scene died in central Australia.
Our scene isn’t dying, but I can see it happening. The problem is the people are only interested in winning and not playing. So the first week of a league is when people are most likely to play. They check the score to see who’s in the lead and if they’re not in the top 3 they just give up for the rest of the month. So it’s really a race between the top 3 to stay on top, finishing with scores of about 80 above the rest.
The players who get the most games are naturally the new players who are using th league to get into the game. As the older players just destroy them due to their lack of knowledge of the game to boost their score (I’ve caught some ‘forgetting’ the rules as well).
That is kinda what happened to us, we had a few players that went to hordes and noticed an immediate increase in wins (Troll blood bombers are probably the most BS unit I have ever seen); the others got disheartened by how easily mid cost horde war beasts were able to deal damage to warjacks that had a much higher cost.
I personally don’t feel like the two series fit together too well as hordes units are just ridiculously more flexible, which makes them more broken than introducing clans to the innersphere.
Beasts are naturally better then Jacks, but Warmachine infantry are overall better then Hordes infantry. Not only that, but Warlocks require multiple Beasts while Casters can be happy using only one. If you can kill all Beasts, the game is basically over. Just start laying into the rest while the Warlock starts cutting himself (don’t report that saying, it’s not a joke it’s an actual mechanic in the game).
and I may be wrong about this but I think Gargantuans are overall worse then Colossals. In my games, a Colossal is something you have to strategise for, but Gargantuans are something you work around or just go through (no wreck marker either).
On the outside, a lot of people think the game is decided over who can hit the hardest but once you’re in the game you’ll find infantry doing a lot of work.
Its not so much that, I personally (as a Khador player) just find it hard to deal with the flexibility of all the hordes armies, I know its my own fault for choosing a rather blunt weapon, but I am not exactly just throwing my star(s) of guards at them. My house mate runs Troolbloods and I have legit never beaten him because even with girded the buffs he can give his bomber are silly; I have planted my witch behind a demolisher (for girded) in a forest within which ever ability it is that gives it stealth and he still gets to hit due to an ability that his warlock gives that gives true sight or what ever its called.
SUCH A LOAD OF BALONEY.
@vaegrand Unless the positioning was bad, how did he get LoS to your Witch?
A way around that is to move a model into melee with it. He has to kill the model before being allowed to use a range attack.
Also a benefit over Hordes is that Warmachine players have flexibility with Mercenaries. Hordes only has Minions, and there’s not that huge of a selection.
He only needs to hit a def 12 large Warjack with a power 16 (I think) which can be boosted and empowered through abilities; he has two of these each round and if I do decide to break cover attack chances are I will be met with spears that apply smite which while not a problem for my demolisher normally destroy anything with a high def and mid to low arm. I can give every one else a good run, but the horde armies just have so many tricks up their sleeve that I struggle to get a strat going.
@vaegrand If the Warjack has girded, how did your Warcaster die? Unless you just sat there and let the Jack blow up for a couple of turns.
But that’s the end result, not sure how the match went with your whole army.
Also, think about playing objectives, the game opens up a lot more when people can’t just sit back and throw out AOEs.
One solo to take is Saxon Orrik. He can reduce a fury point or add 1 to max out the total fury to prevent trasnfering.
Rogue Legacy on Vita, and Super Mario 3D World….by my lonesome :((((
Look forward to hearing what it’s like, I have it sitting on top of my pile of shame 🙁 haha
Haha 🙁 indeed. I love me some 3D Mario platformers but 3D World wasn’t that fun singleplayer since it was designed with multi in mind. As soon as I grabbed a buddy it was a lot more fun.
If only there was online multi… *shakes fist at Nintendo*
The Last of Us Remastered. It’s spectacular on the PS4 and the little visual touches makes my game of the year from last year even better. Really loving it.
Wasn’t expecting to buy it at launch, but I grabbed it on special for a little less than the norm. Guess I’ll also be fighting mould this weekend 😉
ELITE!
Actually, I have to hold back on that. Friend invited me to go with them to Smash next weekend, so that means I gotta spend this one making sure my costume’s in a respectable state.
More Divinity!
started Rayman Legends the other day & goddamn…. that’s a charming & fun game. probably more of that, too.
Good luck getting the final achievement.
…Hahahahahahahahahahaaa!!!
???
Edit: Achievements aren’t exactly important to me, but I’m curious. I’m might try getting it just outta spite if its that difficult :p
You have to do Daily/Weekly Challenges (2 new each day, 2 new each week) and beat out other players for scoring. If you manage to get a Gold cup for each challenge, it will take you about 80 days to finally unlock the achievement. You can get a Diamond cup, but that’s extremely difficult to get, but will get you the achievement in 2-3 weeks if you can get one for each challenge.
haha…. I think i’ll give that one a miss :p
Pfft, I managed to do it. It only takes 2-5 hours out of your day.
Battlefield, Sniper Elite maybe the free Games with Gold.
Hearthstone – as always
I’ll be playing the assemble the new kitchen game. Also, some Tenpin Bowling, Hearthstone, Disney Infinity and whatever else takes my fancy, Pinball FX 2 maybe.
Catchup time on movies as well, gonna try and watch Sex Tape, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, Hercules, Lucy and Guardians Of The Galaxy.
And lastly, I’m gonna consume as much junk food as is humanly possible before the TAY Fitocracy challenge starts on Monday.
TAY Fitocracy?

Get through some more Wolfenstein. Maybe some GTA Online
Either replaying tales of symphonia, or starting monster hunter tri i think
edit; tho to be honest i think most of my spare time will be spent re-watching Bleach. Man it’s a goody
I’m playing LEGO. yeah, be jelly.
http://imgur.com/JGHox8K
So jelly.
It’s not a toy, it’s a sophisticated interlocking brick system :p
The boats really float!
I thought I would get out of the house for a bit….so im playing lord of the rings online. I like strolling around the shire, plus the summer festival is on so that should be fun.
New & Tasty!
That’s out? The Abe’s Odyssey remake?!
Yup and it’s really good! I think every element is an improvement on the original except some of the sound design is worse, not as punchy as the original. Enjoy
I just looked it up – PS4/PS3 only at this stage, is there a Steam version coming out?
Yep PC and Mac, release date still TBA though. I’m playing on PS4
Bought Rogue Legacy last night and am loving it, so will play a bit of that.
I’m stuck in New & Tasty so I might have another quick go on that to see if I can get past the bit I’m stuck on. If not I may have to resort to the FAQs…
Still no internet… so I’ll be continuing with Dark Souls 2, which I picked up again last weekend after a three month hiatus. If I can figure out where to go, I feel I may even finish it this weekend… something I still feel is surreal, given that I gave up at O&S when I played DaS1.
Also, Rocksmith, which I’ve been neglecting without the constant weekly incentive of new songs to enjoy…
Ouch who is your provider?
(In before the inevitable sun bro’s, the sun is not your provider)
It’s essentially a nightmare of a situation. Spoilered to spare those that don’t care.
I moved into an apartment two and a half years ago, when the building opened, and the owner provided a 16Mbit 500GB Optus connection for all 10 apartments to share, with the assurance that “if I found it unsatisfactory, I could organise my own”. As it seemed that not every tenant knew/cared it existed, it was perfect for me.Cut to April this year, when the building got sold, the service cut out in early-June, and the new owner and new REA know nothing about the old connection. After 3+ weeks of bouncing emails back and forth with the new REA, I got the go-ahead to sort out my own connection. Another week of investigating how the building was actually wired (turns out its a clusterfreak… a single Luca Box with about 20 spliced connections shoved inside, going to a patch panel in the laundry instead of directly to the apartments) I rang iiNet and talked over my options. Now at the stage of them booking a Telstra tech to come and attempt an installation/line activation, whichever’s necessary, sometime next week. I know another apartment has their own connection, so it shouldn’t be this hard… And now the new REA is asking for updates, as they’ve apparently got less information than I do. *facepalm*
So, looking up at the moment, but it’s week #7, and I’m subsisting on mobile internet and Youtube videos I’ve downloaded at work… I’ve made peace with missing the Destiny beta :'(, but I just want Internet access that’s not restricted to 1GB a month on a 5″ screen… I can’t even enjoy the games I got during the Steam sale…
If you have any problems with installation of your telstra line email me on jamie.phillips@telstra.team.com.
Thanks, I just may do that. Hopefully everything will go smoothly… hopefully.
I guess the upside is I don’t have to worry about min-maxing invaders with optimised builds and hundreds of hours of experience. 😀
I am a consultant in rural Australia, but getting in contact with someone from your region won’t be too hard.
The real thing to be thankful for is that your adventures into the Rat cov areas aren’t a nightmare.
Oh, I got to the Rat Vanguard bonfire in April – that boss was the reason I stopped playing… cos I forgot that this game gave you “choices”, apparently. :/
Just getting to that bonfire was an exercise in frustration… “You have been summoned as a grey phantom”… “You have been backstabbed by someone waiting behind your spawn point”… “Returning to your world”… “You have been summoned as a grey phantom”… repeat… *sigh*
I’m thinking I should probably take out the Belfries before I get my ‘net back, tho. I’ve heard the horror stories of Belfry Luna… and the fact that the game encourages that style of play irks me to no end…
Last of Us Remastered when I’m not at a LAN party (we’re playing the re-release of Rise of Nations!)
Just purchased Divinity: Original Sin so hopefully I’ll squeeze in some of that as I hear it’s pretty amazing.
The Dark Souls 2 DLC
I’ve given it a quick go but the difficulty has been ramped up and my character feels useless, despite me completing the game with him beforehand.
Probably some Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds with friends, along with Dragon Fantasy Book I and BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma.
Destiny! Oh…. 🙁
Soon… although I am concerned that Destiny may not be as long and content filled as it’s $500m budget would have you believe
(I hope I’m wrong)
Agreed.
Just found out the 6 man raids are only doable with friends, no matchmaking with randoms, I struggle to get 2 mates on the same game let alone 5 others, kind of a killjoy.
I’m just viewing it as a single player campaign experience tbh. I read that it’s roughly 20 hours to finish all the missions, and there’s only 3-4 planets and one area on each. My guess is that the expansions will actually be “expansions” that will add whole planets and additonal stories to the campaign
I found it pretty boring playing on my own, it was definately more fun when my mates jumped in, and bungie saying stuff like “Raids will form part of Destiny’s experience later into the game, with some lasting for an hour or two. They’ll be “one of the pillars of the game” puts me off a bit, I’m guessing allot of the best loot/experiences are gonna be on these raids and unless I can find 5 other friends with 2 hours to try some of them I will never experience them, why they didn’t allow matchmaking I have no idea.
It’s Activision we’re talking about here, they probably just blew a majority of that budget on advertising going by past history.
Legend of Heroes: Trials in the Sky!!!
Whoop whoop!
Trying so hard to resist grabbing it for another playthrough. I’d probably use a guide to 100% it. I might wait until SC comes out though and do both of them back to back.
going old school this weekend – was inspired to start a new character in diablo 2, a game that i hate to think how many hours i have put into over the years..
Bought a heap of games on sale this week. Will most likely play FTL
Finishing up on Duke Nukem Megaton followed by Trails in the Sky whoop whoop
YOU ARE A COOL DUDE.
DN3D never gets any love these days 🙁 fucking 3D Realms/Pirahna/Tryptich/2K/Gearbox 😛
The Witcher 2, good old steam sales!
I ended up buying a new graphics card (Radeon R9 280X) thanks to @stickman, @virus__ and @welbot helping point me in the right direction. So tonight I’ll probably install that, clean my PC and then try and get it all doing exactly what I want. Not sure what I’ll play to test it out yet. Right now I’m playing DC Universe Online, Civ V and Warcraft III which won’t exactly push it.
With any luck I’ll get some time in with Last of Us (PS4), Crimson Dragon, Monster Hunter 3 and the thousand XBOX 360 games that I’ve been meaning to get around to.
Playing my first play through of The Last of Us Remastered.
I’ve bee playing the multiplayer all day, it’s awesome. Also playing the prequel dlc first!
GTA Online (360)
TLOU (ps4)
Civ 5 (pc)
Prob some Dark Souls co-op with a couple of mates (360)
I signed up for the EA access thingy, so Madden also if I get time. (X1)
I might get the missus to give TLOU a crack, just so I can hog the pc for some Civ. 424 hours in and I still love that game.
Robocraft but I still need to finish uncharted 3 and start black flag..
Running through Dark Souls 2 with a new character class and trying out the mace as a weapon instead of the heide knight sword. The thing rocks.
For me it’s going to be the exciting adventures of e-Tax 2014 with a side of Wolfenstein, the new order. Might look into Dungeonsiege 3 or Far Cry 3 if I have the time.
Going to try and finish the latest Thief game.
Building a fence, no gaming will be done…
I can feel this going not so well, lol
i bought my wife the Wii U from Target bundled with Skylanders Swap Force. She is now absolutely addicted to Skylanders. My time will be divided between shopping at various EB Games’ for discount Skylanders and playing Skylanders with the ones we have. What an absolute money sink. Be careful what you wish for when you say you want your wife or gf to get into games!!!
Some EBs have second hand Skylanders in a box behind the counter, including green and orange based ones, for only a few bucks each. I got quite a few that way.
Xbox One! Best birthday present ever yesterday – Lego Marvel with kids, NBA 2K (my first ever) with the brother online, Titanfall with anyone who wants to get shot (hint: it will mostly be me!)
It is my birthday so I will be selfish yay!
I will play through Oddworld New n Tasty again as well as Sniper Elite 3 and Divinity Original Sin on da PeeCee.
Oh and a sleep in, not done that in ages.
Maybe I should get the Dark Soul II dlc?
Wow, because SOMEONE make me have a nostalgia hit
Made great progress on my pile of shame over the last few weeks. FINALLY FINISHED SKYRIM’S MAIN PLOT!! Now I’m mainly doing DLC’s (dawnguard, Dragonborn, Knife of dunwall, Brigmore witches). I’m halfway through DX:HR again and am looking forward to that DLC. Then onto Bioshock infinite again! WHOO!
Then on SUNDAY…
I’ll be kicking the Last of Us up to Grounded+, if I can get the time. Enjoying how smooth it runs, though for some reason I’ve encountered a few glitches/bugs that I never saw in my many playthroughs of the PS3 version. For example, Elly(‘s model) disappeared completely, leaving only her floating backpack. It was rather hilarious to see a backpack latch onto a bandit’s back whilst spurts of blood would spray out of him! 😛
Unfortunately it corrected itself when we were separated for a cutscene. Can’t have everything. I at least got some recorded footage out of it!
Given my limited amount of time while not working or sleeping this weekend I think that’s really about all I’ll have time for in terms of videogames.
I’ll be playing The Last of Us on PS4.
I’ve managed to avoid all spoilers and I can’t wait to sit down and sink into it!
I’ll be spending Sunday recovering while playing Mario Kart 8/Super Mario 3d World and eating a huge bowl of Lucky Charms.
Monster Monpiece on Vita, which is a pretty addictive card battle game despite its flaws.
Under Siege on PS3 using the PS Move and the navigation controller (remember those?)
Trine 2 on PS4, which has absolutely gorgeous visuals. Wish I could play it in 3D…
I haven’t played much games this week but I’ll try to put some solid time into The Witcher. Maybe The Wonderful 101 if I can be bothered, but it’s starting to annoy me 😛
