What Are You Playing This Weekend?

I’ve got a busy weekend coming up, but I still hope to finish off Max Payne 3. Then I’ll probably try and gold Inferno III on Trials Evolution. It will be a glorious death. What are you guys playing?

There have been some big hitters out this week, but I suspect that this weekend is all about the games released last week — Diablo III being the obvious one. I have been thinking about engaging in some video game catch up though — To The Moon is on my list, as is Mass Effect 3. I might leave those ones until Shameless Gaming Month in July though.

I’m enjoying Max Payne 3 — currently just onto the second disc — so I’m hoping it maintains the pacing, and continues to ramp up.

What are you guys playing this weekend?

Diablo 3, Act 2 on Nightmare. Also slowly progressing in Hardcore… No time for anything else.

  I’m stuck just before that!! Every time I get home I restart at the spider level in NM Act I and almost get through to the end boss and the either I have to go to bed due to early work or the server decides to shut down in 10 minutes. I’ve played through almost all the way 4 times. Tonight I will assuredly be in Act II or die trying.

    I was too but played 1 and 2 on steam again. Im 34 and was what, mid 20s when they first came out and loved them. this feels like a drastic improvement. the 2 handguns and 1 bigger gun option makes sense because you see him physically carrying It. the gunplay is amazing and.the hit locations are unmatched. its brilliant.

  I haven’t played the first two and I loved it. Didn’t feel left out either, but felt there was a lot in there too that would please fans. Definitely recommend this.

Diablo 3 if the horrible lag is gone and playing solo through Hell doesn’t involve me constantly dying due to rubber banding and horrible spikes.

I’m actually feeling like going on a sim kick, so I’m thinking I want to muck around with some Sim City (anyone know if Sim City 4 was any good? I tried Sim City 2000 last night and it was just too dated to hold my interest).
If Sim City doesn’t pan out, I could totally go for some Theme Hospital.

  Yes, SimCity 4 is so far the best of the series and its still the best city builder to this day.

Pushing through on Diablo III so I can avoid having my geek license revoked. (currently only halfway through Act II on normal, I’ve been *that* busy) In amongst the hacking and slashing o Diabolic minions, I will also be putting some time into Agarest: Generations of War.

  Yeah DayZ! I keep trying to play it but servers are full. And I ceebs waiting. Plus i just got respawned at the beach before, and lost my primary weapon and all my ammo and food.
  As much as I love it, it’s still so Alpha. But so good. But so broken. I’m going to give it a few weeks.

I’ll be sinking some serious hours into the Jak and Daxter collection. My problem is I have two more to play, and I can’t get off Jak 1. Damn you nostalgia and totally-holds-up-gameplay, damn you

Started D3 last night (I managed to wait until many of the server issues has been addressed) & will be cracking through that all weekend. I’m hoping to finish off Max Payne 3 on the weekend as well. It’s an amazing game.

Skyrim. Forever, at this stage. Diablo 3 may make an appearance in a few weeks time, but I’ve got a long stretch of leave and… This is my jam 🙂 Oh, and I might try and source a cheap copy of Witcher 2 for 360…

Having a few people round for games and drinks sat night. Many games lined up to play including smash bros brawl, mario tennis (gc version), mario smash football, new super mario bros, and fifa. We’ll have to sort out some drinking games too. Maybe something like every death in mario bros you drink and pass the controller on. Anyone got any ideas for drinking games?

Max Payne 3 – currently upto the final chapter and might look at blitzing an easy run straight after… might jump on and play some MP of it also.

Otherwise, I’m still playing with Rayman Origins, and I’m just past World 2 in the second half of the game. 😉

it was amazing. the gameplay/the presentation/the soundtrack/lenghty campaign (particulary by noiserock group “health” who did alot of the score) with all that being said i did encounter a few minor glitches. But nonetheless great game. Definite game of the year contender.
