What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 5:40 AM on June 28, 2008
While wrangling coverage of Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational will consume a portion of my weekend, spending more time hands-on with Silicon Knights' Too Human will swallow up quite a bit more of my Saturday and Sunday. Expect extended impressions on that game throughout next week. To wind down, I'll be devoting some personal time with Team Fortress 2, playing as one of the many Pyros clogging the ranks on the hunt for Steam Achievements and new weapons. Oh, and there's Soul Bubbles to finish. Lordy!
Other than that, it's time for serious Summer fun. We'll be bandying about shuttlecocks and grilling lots of meat in the greater Los Angeles area, working on our third sunburn. What have you got planned for this regular sized weekend? Any gaming gettin' done?

Trying to get the rest of the emblems in MGS4, might try and finish up GTA4 but don't know if i can be assed.
Also the occasional game of TF2, gradually unlocking the achievements.

Maybe some MGS4 online even after spending an entire evening selling myself to konami! Why would they make it so difficult? Either way, COD4 as usual and probably turn on Ninja Gaiden 2 for some good fun! And maybe try not to make a wiener from a blob with Sporn! I mean SPORE!!

I'll probably play a bunch of Ninja Gaiden 2 and Civ 4, as I just got both of them this week. And maybe a little GTA4 to try and get some of the achievements I missed on my first run through.

I think there's something wrong with me... >.>

I recently tried to log into Metal Gear Online, a process which I can only compare to cheese grating your own naughty bits. I don't think Konami realized this, but they managed to make Nintendo's friend codes look good compared to their ridiculous set up. Nonetheless I'm still going to try and get my online Metal Gear fix, and possibly squeeze in some time for RE4: Wii Edition.

I'm probably going to put some time into the new Mega Man (Saurian) seeing as I finished The World Ends with You and am yet to pick up Space Invaders Extreme. A little N+ and WoW never hurt either. And then there is MGS4, so there goes my precious weekend.

Still using the quiet summer to go through my backlog so I'll be playing some Steambot Chronicles, but I've also discovered why Operation Darkness was awesome enough for Atlus to bring it over. Once you figure out the various cover systems (not easy to do) the game goes from about a 4 to a 9.

I've actually gotten a good bit of my normal academic-year backlog beaten already, which means I'm down to playing Mega Man ZX: Advent. Other than that, I might sneak in some time with Daxter and could also continue my quest to finally, eventually one day beat Final Fantasy VI.

I'm trying Viva Pinata for the first time, and I'm not sure what to think so far. Some of it is fun, even if it's a little tedious, and some of it (mainly the camera) is downright aggravating.
I am also having a lot of problems staying logged in to Kotaku and commenting, apparently.

- Might pick up Rock Band for Wii on my way home from work
- Variety of Wii social games like Boom Blox, Wii Sports, etc. Good chance we'll have company this long weekend (Tuesday is Canada Day, and lots of people are taking Monday off, so 4 day weekend, yay!)

@Kinburn:
I hear you about PW3. Godot is perhaps the best written character of the entire Ace Attorney series. Some seminal lines of dialogue in that game. Such as:
Godot: "A man should know the answer to his own questions"
And more... I love that game, and that series.

Because I WANT TO PLAY IT TOO! You bloody bastard! No harm or insult intended, but man am I jealous right now!
Cheers, enjoy and I hope to see your impressions on monday AM!

Posted 6:15 AM 28/6/08
I will be checking out to see what you think of Too Human. It seems interesting.
I'll probably play some more DMC 4 and try to finish Portal. I'm kind of glad that I finally got a 360 in November, so I can be constantly entertained by the time I'm caught up with the rest of the games this year. Bioshock and GOW are going to be the next ones that I play.

I just started FFTA2 for the DS. It's much improved from the GBA version. Judges are less intrusive in matches and there are a ridiculous amount of job options. I would assume that you have to unlock most of them, but I can see this game keeping me busy for quite a while.
Other than that, gonna keep playing Rock Band (The Pixies pack makes me happy. Screaming is fun) and probably dink around with the Spore creature creator some more. I just hope that Spore delivers on the gameplay front. Maybe I'll finish another episode of Sam and Max.
I'm also working on completing all the trials in NG2. I've already beaten the game, so it shouldn't be too hard with all those maxed out weapons to choose from. :D
I'll probably try to play some more IIDX gold as well.
I have quite a few options.

Posted 6:08 AM 28/6/08
Friday - NBA 2k8 / Fight Night / Wii Fit / Wii Bigs (Cousins)
Saturday - Since the Lady is out of town for the weekend, probably TF2 working on achievements, which i must say is the best implemented thing in awhile, you are rewarded with something practical for completing them. Then Saturday night repeating what the previous night was
Sunday - I'll decide on what to do next in MGS4, what play through to work on. I am trying to get my g/f to watch the 'story' of it so i'll probably pick some easy emblems and do it on easy mode so can try out the controls/watch the story.
yeah i have to make up for no gaming last weekend.

Lego Indiana Jones-360 I want 100% on that game.
Phoenix Wright 3 on the DS-I'm still enjoying the writing.
Online racing Mario Kart Wii.

I think I'm in the minority here but I'm really interested with Too Human. I've seen the classes video,co-op video,etc. it does look like fun. Sure the combat may get tedious and/or clunky but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt...for now.
@McWhertor:Ask Dennis Dyack if there's more "for" or "againts" in Neogaf. Does he have some sort of bribery laser ready to deploy once the game hits journalists? I kid! Ok a bagful of money then? =D
This game has the stigma of DNF. They really need to step it up. Heck I think it's been in development longer than some posters here in Kotaku...

Too Human impressions next week? Great news!!
I'm looking forward to that, because I really don't know what to make of this game so far. From what I've seen so far, it could be amazing or embarrassing.
I really want to like it (if that makes any sense), if only for all the crap that SK had to put up with. And I haven't forgotten Eternal Darkness.
As for my week-end plans: no games. I've put off all gaming and Blu-Ray activities until next Thursday/Friday, when I'll receive my new TV.

Finishing LEGO Indy, and maybe starting Final Fantasy Tactics A2. There seems to be a lot of bullshit to wade through before getting to the "tactics" bit of FF Tactics. I guess that's what all the reviews were talking about when they said it was "deep"? I always found the preparation parts of Fire Emblem truly boring and this seems 10 times worse. I like how AW just dumps you into the battle with everything you need to win. It turns out chess is also a pretty deep game, and it only has 6 different units and zero resource management (aside from time).

At some point I need to finish off Lego Indiana Jones and Overlord, and get around to some of the other stuff I've been putting off. I'm pretty sure I won't even make a dent in my backlog at this point.

Another week, more Team Fortress 2.
I might actually play more Crisis Core (I died and lost an hour or so of gameplay so I quit) or I might start on No More Heroes. Waggle might make games fun again.

I am playing a bunch of NES games this week; I might play a few SNES games. I am addicted to Sudoku again. I wish that there was a new DS Picross; I didn't like it until you could play it with the stylus controls.

Ninja Gaiden 2 and BF Bad Company. Two games I don't think I was all that interested. But I desperately needed something new to play. All my friends seem to like Ninja Gaiden 2 so why not? And even after a not too impressive demo for BF BC I got sucked in by the Bad World. And Rainbow Sprinkles.

Completing the last seven stunt jumps in GTA IV to get my 100%, playing some Top Spin 3, doing the bonus dungeon in Dark Cloud, starting Dragon Warrior VII, and maybe starting one of the many RPGs that's been sitting unopened in a box in my closet for years.

Gonna give MGS:TS a try on the Wii (didn't realize you had to have a gamecube memory card, which are getting hard to find, so I had to wait a week to get one shipped from GQD). Maybe give Lost Odyssey another try - the first hour left me pretty cold, haven't gone back. Just finished Uncharted (awesome!) so on the PS3 its a toss up between Devil May Cry IV, COD IV, or getting back into GTA IV. And after that I'll get MGS IV! Four! Four! Four!

Metal Gear Online and a second playthrough of MGS4 on Big Boss. Just got a Bravia 5.1 sound system so I'll be playing older games for the new sound chops.
Motorstorm
Super StarDust (sounds hella good in 5.1)
Tekken 5 DR Online...soooo cheesy but the wall rape is soooooo satisfying
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
I'll try and sneak in some Mario Kart Wii and SSBB but damn if I can't find a single Kotakuite online ANYWHERE but here.

I am browsing through some of my old games that I have never really played thoroughly such as Overlord, Mass Effect, Rainbow Six Vegas. I will also be playing some more recent games such as GRID that I haven't had chance to enjoy because of other games *cough* GTA IV.

I just beat GTAIV yesterday, but I'm going to start going through it again today, tomorrow, and on into the wild blue yonder.
Unless I find MGS3 cheap someplace. Then, I'll play that instead. Because I have to play 3 before I can play 4. Damn it.

Since I'll be heading out to an aunt's vacation house way out in the boonies of California, I'll be chargin' up my DS and playing both-recently-bought FFTA:2 and TLoZ: Phantom Hourglass a great deal this weekend. If my cousins bring along the Wii by chance then there'll probably be some Brawl as well.

Just got MGS4 from Gamefly. I must say, I am very impressed, but I suck at it. The cut scenes are so detailed and interesting that one hardly notices the length. The graphics and quality of animation surpasses just about anything that I have seen this year. The database is one of the best ideas yet.
But I haven't quite mastered the controls, and one time a Gecko jumped on me and stomped me to death! I have a feeling that I am going to get very used to seeing "Mission Failed". Like I said, I suck at it.

Well, I was going to treat MGS4 like a job to beat it, before the spoilers make their way to my brain - but weekend work has just ruined that plan.
Maybe I can at least get 5 or 6 hours in.
Otherwise, GRID is a sweet, sweet racing game to come back to every now and then.

Next weekend i'll be doing the same and a couple of weeks after that diving back into GTAIV and MGS4 followed by an intense Beyond Good and Evil and ps2 platformer playthrough.
