Look man, I love Dark Souls. I love it so much. But a man has his limits and, after all the hype, I’m toying with the idea of putting it on ice to play through the first three episodes of The Walking Dead.
But what are you guys and girls planning to play this weekend? August was a pretty decent month for games — Sleeping Dogs, Darksiders II, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Sound Shapes…
Let us know in the comments below.
The Cheapest NBN 1000 Plans
Looking to bump up your internet connection and save a few bucks? Here are the cheapest plans available.
Diablo 3. Patch 1.0.4 has made it fun again and there are plenty of people who have come back to it to see the changes. My Monk can actually deal with things in Act 2 Inferno after being completely brick walled with similar gear in Act 1 pre-patch.
Also, tomorrow night is the first board game night. Munchkin and Ticket to Ride are on the cards and probably some Mah Jong too. It’s going to be a good night.
munchkin is an evil game! Puppylicks and Danmazkin introduced me to it when we were in san Francisco. I really dont like it….probably coz i suck at it.
Haven’t actually played it but I saw this video a while ago and knew that I had to give it a shot.
Tomorrow just happens to be the perfect excuse for that.
Munchkin is designed to punish competitiveness. As long as you go in with that understanding, it is a fun way to muck around with cards.
Board games at this kids house!
Also World of Warcraft & Minecraft. I feel dirty after resubbing to WoW yesterday but I wanted to get back into it before the new patch.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD and and House of The Dead Overkill.
And maybe a little bit more of the first Ratchet and Clank game.
Weekend starts now! I have the day off today so I’m going to the Bavarian Bier Cafe in Manly for lunch!
Oh, and games. Half way through the (short) Severed DLC for Dead Space 2, so I’ll finish that first. Then hopefully start Dark Souls (as I’ve been saying for weeks) or continue Diablo III (as I’ve been saying for weeks).
However, last weekend I just played Splosion Man instead. So probably actually just Ms Splosion Man this weekend 🙂
Guild Wars 2. Transformers Fall of Cybertron. And also giving the new Diablo patch a thrash.
I haven’t finished Sleeping Dogs yet, so maybe that.
After completing NSMB2 I started replaying NSMBWii last night because I never finished it with all the star coins so I’m giving it another run.
It’s a shame that you have to work so hard to get to those last levels of NSMBWii, because some of them are super tricky to perfect, and that makes them loads of fun.
Thinking about a second Mass Effect 3 playthrough now I’ve got th DLC and extended ending, but NegativeZero made an excellent point on TAY — might be worth waiting until all the story DLC is out.
So, I’ve been stuck in the opening section of Dark Souls (after the tutorial area) for ages. I put the game away for a while. Turns out, I’ve been going the wrong way, and trying to take on the army of high-level skeleton warriors (I actually beat them once, so kudos to me). So, with that revelation, I’ll give the game another bash.
Also, Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World (Finally got all QL10 gear, on the hunt for blues and purples)
Diablo 3, and cod. I am the root of all theings wrong with the games industry and hit 20th prestige on mw3 lastnight, will play enough to hit max level, then stop playing till blops II. Will fill in the gaps with tons if iOS games as well. i have way to many addictive games on my phone and it is interupting work time 😛
School Production this weekend = no sleep and little games. Probably just a few rounds of Mann vs. Machine in TF2, hopefully with my new clan.
Chookas! Finished my seasons last weekend, so this is my first weekend off in about 6 months.
As for gaming, I can’t stop playing Spelunky, which is doing my head in because it can be such an unfair little bitch, and not in a Dark Souls kind of way. Might also go back to Fez, which I’m about halfway through.
my ozgameshop copy of SLEEPING DOGS just arrived!! woo hoo!
Shame I have about 2 FREE HOURS THIS WEEKEND! wah.
Continuing with Batman Arkham City. Went back to it to finish new game plus (which I’ve done) and get through all the riddler challenges. Finished everything with Batman and finished combat and predator challenges with Catwoman. Just starting Campaign challenges with Catwoman. She’s a hell of a lot harder than Batman with her next to no health!
I’ll be playing LOOK AT THE PRETTY NEW WARHAMMER 40,000 MINI’S AND PAINT DEM SUKKAS!!!!
Although, i won’t have much time to paint, as it’s also father day on sunday…
Finish off hero mode of Skyward Sword. I serious love that game. Although it’s still forth in line behind Wind Waker, Majora and Twilight.
I picked up Serious Sam 3 and Dead Space 2 out of a bargain bin this week, so will give those a try. Will also hopefully be having a session of Fiasco at a mates place. That game is hilarous.
I grabbed Fall of Cybertron earlier in the week so I’ll be parking myself infront of that.
Play some more of darksiders 2 some more of sleeping dogs well that is the plan if not it will be more of Diablo 3 trying to get better gear for my demon hunternd what ever else I feel like at the time.
Hopefully finish AC2 and I just bought the Dead Space pack from Amazon so will looking at giving that a go next.
Probably won’t have a lot of gaming time, but what I’ve got I’ll dedicate to my ongoing Metal Gear Solid 4 replay.
Maybe some more time in Fallout: NV. If the stars align the right way maybe some co-op time on something.
World of Warcraft!! New Patch has brought me back because of Boredom!! Possible DayZ aswell!!
I had most of last weekend stolen away watching my friends play Sleeping Dogs instead of playing it myself, including overhearing a minor ending spoiler. It was predictable, but still a spoiler. Anyway, I haven’t had any time to play it this week because my wife doesn’t like it which means it’s another of those games I have to sneak in while I’m home and she’s asleep, which means I get no time on it during the working week.
Long story short, I hope to be finishing Sleeping Dogs this weekend.
I’d LIKE to be playing Walking Dead episode 3 but my PC monitor abruptly stopped working for no apparent reason two days ago, so my PC is out of commission until I either source a replacement monitor (with no available funds) or it mysteriously starts working again, which also happened six months ago.
Funny, it waited until I blew my tax return on other stuff before failing. It’s like it wants to deliberatly incur maximum sadness.
Anyhow, I probably only have an hour or so left in the story of Sleeping Dogs, which equates to 3 hours of gameplay once we factor in my faffing about, and that’s not including dedicated collectible hunting in what I assume will be post-story freeplay in the Hong Kong sandbox.
After that I might get cracking on Darksiders, so I can at least say I gave it a shot before I started on Darksiders 2.
After ditching Rock Band Blitz the last two nights for ME3 DLC & Walking Dead Ep 3 I hoping to finally give it a whirl on the weekend. I don’t actually have a game in play at the moment but I’m playing to finally start Bullitstorm. Good times.
Finishing up the ME3 Leviathan DLC – quite good so far – and some Hyperdimension Neptunia (60% complete) with Rayman Origins / Everybody’s Golf / Sound Shapes for Vita on the side.
Hope to finish off Darksiders, then I’ll move on to something else on the backlog. Shameless gaming month never really ended for me.
This weekend I’ll be playing a lot of guitar. Real guitar, not Rock Band guitar. I’ve got the shred-bug again.
Tonight – Walking Dead EP3
Saturday / Sunday Night – hmmm transformers and maybe some CS GO
Got next week off work, so it won’t be just what am I playing THIS weekend, heh.
Going to smash out a bunch of levels in Guild Wars 2 I reckon.
Last weekend, a bag that was resting on a hook above my xbox (and full of heavy art books) FELL ONTO MY XBOX. Sleeping Dogs was scratched so badly it no longer works. Luckily I got a gift card from work that I can use to replace the game, so I’ll be finishing that, and possibly running through the last third of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. Both are pretty darn special 🙂
Blasted through The Walking Dead Ep 3 last night (amazing), so I’ll probably put some more time into Arkham City.
Guild Wars 2 and Pokemon Conquest. GW2 is gonna suck me in deep I can tell. Especially with the exp for exploring mechanic they built in. Every open-ish world game should have something like that
I’m currently playing Catherine, but I also bought They Bleed Pixels so I’ll be giving that a whack too.
Dark souls, made it through the catacombs but not sure if strong enough for giants part in the darkness. might head back and start on sen’s fortress.
also driver sf, awesome game. hasn’t been this good since driver 1!
Dragon’s Dogma. Any1 who is thinking of getting it I highly recommend it. Best combat system eva. Oh and anyone who likes fitin as female chars u can go around fitin in g-strings, very nice…
Probably continue with my playthrough of darksiders, maybe a bit of Orcs must die and maybe derp around in SR3 for a bit.
Also considering walking dead but will see if I have some time to play it. Might also aggravate myself with some lunar lander
I’ll still be bashing away at Secret World. Seriously loving this game. Onto the last of the Savage Coast missions, then I’ll find a group to run Inferno a few times, then off to Blue Mountain .
Mark, you’ve spoken highly of Dark Souls (obviously lol) so I decided last night to have a go and see what you were talking about. And MAN! I couldn’t even defeat the Asylum Demon :S had to restart the game with a new character and Black Firebombs. So I think I’ll be going through that over the weekend/throughout the week. Also started playing God of War 3 running through my new home theatre system.
My PC is having a bit of a rest for now, waiting for the internet to be put on in the new house. So I’m just sticking to the PS3 for a while. But once the internet is up and running, hello Guild Wars 2!!!!!!
remember to drop on him from the start! like most of the enemies in the game just keep your distance, watch the attack patterns and be patient.
Gaming this weekend will consist of CS:GO, CS:S, Fifa 12, Max Payne 2
also If I can steal the 60′ from the missus some LA Noire on PS3.
Looking to Fifa 13 and or upgrading my comp next weekend.
Sleeping Dogs on PC (I just finished Darksiders 2). I will also check out Diablo 3 now that the decent patch is out, I stopped ages ago and was never compelled to return.
Also I will finish off the last bit of Mirrors Edge and Oddworld Strangers Wrath.
Civ4 complete edition- pretty much the only decent game that will run on my lappy, binary domain on xbox and arkham city. I love fathers day 🙂
