What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 5:40 AM on July 12, 2008
Play? Video games? Not this weekend, pal. There's far too much to get done for E3, which for the Kotaku staff, starts Sunday afternoon. Some of us will be probably be playing our Game Boy Advances, DSs, PSPs and Neo Geo Pocket Colours en route to smoggy Los Angeles, California, but this editor is going to focus on leveling up his stress levels. Oh, sure I may get my Paladin up to level 50 in Diablo II to let off some steam, but beyond that... work, work, work, work, work!
Hopefully, some of you are planning on hitting up the Kotaku party on Sunday. Then we can talk about games. For now, let us know what your playing this weekend in the comments, and I'll live vicariously through you. Maybe name your character after me in a sign of solidarity? No? Hey, I tried.

Actually that's all I've been up to, and some Space Invaders Extreme DS/PSP

If I can finally get my DS Lite screen replacement finished, Advance Wars:Days of Ruin. If not, probably nothing.

Civ Revolution.
I've played through on Chieftain which was ridiculously easy. And Warlord wasn't much harder. I'm just going to keep moving up till it hits a decent difficulty.
Great game, but I wish it had customizable settings for victory conditions. It seems to be geared towards quick and dirty conquering. I prefer total domination :)

Alright. Fine. I'll finish GTAIV. At this point, the missions all feel tired. Drive to location. Storm building. Chase down target. I just want it to end.
Otherwise, CoD4 or Orange Box. I kind of want to veg to an RPG, too.

Then I will summon my dark minions from the deepest layers of hell and send them forth upon Comcast like a never-ending plague of pure hatred, and once they are nothing more then a weeping tear on the face of a bitter memory, I will play Guild Wars.

I'm going to be playing the "Check my e-mail and Kotaku religiously to hope that we hear some word as to their choice for King of Commenters." Yes, I know, I have a very slim chance, but it's better a chance than when we all went up against Witzbold.
Actual game-wise, I'm going to try to finish Puzzle Quest (been playing it on and off for months now) and try (likely in vain) to try and get Hellgate: London working so I can pick up where I left off. That update just can't install for some reason.

my DS is feeling lonely... I hadn't played it for over 6 months so now I am on a DS kick - especially as I can take it to the park and play outside. I had some people laugh at the sight of a 30yr old playing DS in the park Tuesday night but whatever - I am having fun - better than just laying there in the sun that most people do.
- Final Fantasy Tactics A2
- Civ Revolution DS
- I have the Advance Wars DS (the newest one) and haven't played it yet - the above 2 games have me hooked for now so doubtful it will make its way into my DS this weekend.
Friends are trying to talk me into Battlefield BC for my PS3 but having no money and soon getting a friends copy of MGS4 to play through are holding me back.
Oh and I will be watching Batman Begins on Blu-ray to prep for the Dark Knight!

If I can squeeze them in I may give Warhawk, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros some love.
Also, to the fat bastard at Game Trader with all of the mouth this morning about PS3...go to hell asshole! You need to playing WiiFit instead of playing anything on 360.

Etrian Odyssey II... it's kicking my ass, but I am doing my best to kick back. Girlfriend leaves town for 2 weeks on tuesday, so from that point on I am dedicating myelf to finally polishing off the last two bosses on No More Heroes, and possibly playing a FF game on PS2 to get psyched for FFIV on DS. Just beat FFII and FFCC on the DS... am really feeling the Square DS love... if only FFTTA2 had a more grown up story and a mroe developed gameplay style. Don't get me wrong... I played FFTTA to death, but the new one feels like more of the same... and after putting 90+ hours into a game I was hoping for something newer... oh well.

I don´t know if I´m going to have a lot of time but I have some games on my to-play list:
- GTA IV (not finished yet, I´m slow on purpose so the game won´t end that fast)
- Viva Piñata (Digital Crack!)
- Halo 3
- Mario Kart Wii (online)
- Mario Galaxy
- Resident Evil 4 (still need to finish it...)
Maybe some Gears of War too and some PS2 fighting games with friends. But I´ll probably just play 2 of the list because I´ll have to do other stuff (I wish the days had 48 hours)

Well I just completed Final Fantasy XII, after 73 hours of gameplay and owning the game twice. So now I'm moving on to Final Fantasy X (either that or Valkyrie Profile 2), both of which I've owned once before. I really need to stop selling games then buying them back...
I've also nearly finished Crisis Core on the PSP. Oh, and if my new DSlite arrives tomorrow, I'll be playing Luminous Arc and Picross all day.
So yeah, I'm playing a lot really.

go figure...should we all forsake our Ps3s and 360s and play DS and Wii? I hear all the cool kids are playing DS and Wii.

Megaman ZX Advent and Golden Sun for me. I'm still trying to beat Survival Road in Advent, and I just recently scavenged Golden Sun for $8 from a local Gamespot. It's truly impressive how well the game holds up 7 years after its release.

I'd expected to still be clawing through Crushing and nail Uncharted, but i hit the zone a while back and nailed it within a day or two. Same with my MGS4 no-kill run, so i guess this weekend is:
MGS4 no-alerts, Wonderboy in Monster World, mayhaps even finish up Luigi Galaxy and have a GH3 warm up in GH:WT anticipation. *shrug*
The last 8 months have built up to this week, when finally my well of games and MGS/GTA excitement die their death....

Rock Band. I downloaded 15 songs the last couple days and will be playing those a lot. And reading all about RB2 has rekindled my interest.
And some other stuff that I haven't decided on yet.

Finishing DMC4 on the hardest difficulty.
Probably continuing my Master Ninja play through on NG2.
Other than that, probably some Schizoid, RooGoo, Ticket to Ride and the SFHDRemix Beta.
Oh... and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams.

GTA4
Just like most weeks lately. Then, with stuff like that, who can complain about the choices?
I play so many games at once it typically takes me literally an eternity to finish them... these ones are actually enough to hold my sustained interest though, which is not uncommon, but is quite uncommon for story based games.

Probably Madden and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (For some reason I've been addicted to all of that tactical stuff as of late). I've had COD4 for quite some time but never really got into it. Maybe I'll start that up. Although I really don't feel like getting pounded mercelessly online. I would trade all of that free time for your ticket to E3 through Mike. Any takers there at kotaku?

Going to see Hellboy 2 tonight, Guillermo Del Toro will be doing a Q&A afterwords... pretty excited.
And Sunday I will be playing my favorite game of all time: "Drink the Free Beer". Golden Gopher also has a bunch of multicade cabinets as well, so I'm sure there will be a fair amount of Donkey Kong happening. Can't wait! Hope to see a bunch of you there!

@Alidar: Yeah I did the exact same thing for a while... played it (tales of symphonia) becuase everyone loved it - but it never really drew me in... I never felt like I was really involved in the battles or storyline so I eventually just dropped it. Too many games to play to devote time to one that just isn't doing it for you. Of course spending the damn money on the games makes you feel like you have to play it.

I have been playing my PS3 for the last couple months but I recently got the urge to hook up my 360 and play some 360 rock band...I really forgot how that game can magically draw everyone into one room for a helluva good time.
It seems that there is one thing everyone can agree on, regardless of whether they are gamers,guys, or girls, and that is Rock Band is awesome.

I finally picked up Assassin's Creed for the PS3 as it's cheap enough now to take the gamble and see for myself if it's any good. I've also been having allot of fun with Combat Arms and already played it for a few hours after work today. Gaming will have to wait until tomorrow now as I plan on working out for the rest of the night(16oz curls)...

@shak_0: MGS3 makes it hard to believe Big Boss was defeated by Solid Snake. Hell...It's hard to believe Big Boss actually killed The Boss. Play the MGS3 and you'll see what I mean. She was THE bad ass of the Metal series. The End is one of the greatest boss battles of I've ever had the pleasure of screwing up.
But MGS3 better than MGS4...I have to disagree. The controls alone make MGS4 better.

Like I said before in a comment, I bought Best Buy's online-only bundle, which includes the regular PS3 MGS4 bundle & the MGS4 strategy guide, all for $499.99! Well, it's a lot more than that, actually. The grand total was $544.97 with the cheapest shipping ($15!), but luckily, my brother & I had just over $62 in gift cards, so I only paid $483. I got the strategy guide today from UPS, which is good since it arrived 1 day after it shipped, but sucks since I don't have the game to use it for. And I guess I won't get my PS3 bundle until Monday at the earliest since they don't deliver Saturday or Sunday. I have to work Saturday & Sunday, so I probably wouldn't have had that much time to play it anyway. Luckily, I don't work Monday, so hopefully, I'll get my PS3 bundle then, & I'll watch G4's E3 coverage while I wait!
As for what I know I'll be playing, I've been playing Beyond Good and Evil on my laptop, & Zelda: Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo Wii almost all day today. It feels weird saying "Nintendo Wii", but I wanted to avoid any Wii puns! On Zelda, I'm in the Fire Temple as Adult Link. On BG&E, I'm trying to win the Slaughterhouse races, but they're very hard with my laptop keyboard (Thankfully, I have a wireless USB mouse!). So, I'll keep playing those games when I'm not working.

@texicali74: Well for the first month you MAY get some good time in still, if your kid doesn't have colic...
But since my son turned 3 months old in April, I've had very little time when he's been awake. It took me 4 months to beat GTAIV and that was only possible because he and my wife went to CA to visit relatives and I played for 20 hours or so while she was gone.
But you won't really miss it. I can guarantee that. Its nice to play, but... nothing really compares with a little version of yourself. Best plaything in the world.
I'll be playing with my son a lot and probably some more GTAIV and Brawl this weekend. Maybe I'll finish Link to the Past on the Virtual Console too... Dunno.

Hopefully finishing up Phantom Hourglass, and getting the rest of the Achievements in Lego Indiana Jones (9 more to go). I need to try and finish up GTAIV, too. My wife and I are expecting our first child in September, and I anticipate my gaming time pretty much vanishing for the foreseeable future after that! Except for the DS, though. I can play that on my commute. :-)

I was going to finish up MGS4 but I'll definitely be playing Burnout Paradise in an attempt to get the Hunter Olympus. Honestly between the 3 planned major updates to Burnout Paradise this was the least appealing to me, but it quite simply rules, which makes me wonder how awesome the next two will be. And the UI redressing was both unexpected and awesome.

Needless to say, I'm not a happy ferret.

UT3, which I just bought, and Serious Sam 2. This is on a week-old computer I just built and I'm loving it. It handles anything I throw it at it very well with a Q9450, 4850, and 4 GB RAM. Huge improvement over the old P4 3.0C, 6800GT, and 1 GB RAM that it replaced.
@mferrari: The first and only time I played TP, I decided to do 100% of it and I took my time and got 80 hours out of it. But I've never done it on my few OoT playthroughs since the sidequests are much more time consuming, especially the skulltullas. Too bad the modern Zelda games are so easy that anything you get from sidequests is just a novelty.
