What Are You Playing This Weekend

11 years ago

It’s only March and already I’m accumulating quite the 2013 pile of shame. Dead Space 3, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Tomb Raider. These are all games I have yet to finish. But you know what, I’ll probably spend this weekend playing Ridiculous Fishing on the iOS. I have to be honest here…

That said, I’m actually really enjoying Tomb Raider, so I’ll do my level best to finish it over the weekend. But there’s so much non-gaming stuff I have to do. Argh. Cleaning, looking after my kid, watching UFC 158. Still, I have to finish off at least one of these games, right?

Anyways, what are you all playing this weekend?

  I’ve been smashing through a tonne of that recently, till Tomb Raider and SimCity showed up 😛
  
  In case you haven’t heard of it, look into getting the Project Nevada mod for NV, and the radio mod “RACE”. They’re fantastic!

I just got Sleeping Dogs, and I’m also really into XCOM.

Edit: Also, I’m really keen to try out a board game I bought last week – Serenissima (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/135281/serenissima-second-edition).

I’ll be playing Dark Souls this weekend because it’s the only game my husband has never complained about me playing while he’s around. I wish I’d discovered this sooner, I’d be way further into the game by now. 😀

    Sadly – no. It uses an 8-pin DIN plug. (Similar to a commodore 64). I vaguely remember seeing one in my storage – but now can’t find it. I think ebay might be the easiest solution.

God of War Ascension, Tomb Raider, Sim City, and after what I’ve been reading this morning, I’ll definitely be checking out Ridiculous Fishing. Sounds amazing.

I should also get around to finishing Antichamber, but I’m worried I’ve spent so long away from it I’ll have forgotten how it all works and how the rooms link up…

I should give Max Payne 3 another shot, but I will probably download and play all the DLC for Mass Effect 3 and/or Sleeping Dogs. this is my first weekend in awhile where I don’t have any “go and do something not near the Xbox all day” type commitments. I do have to go buy a fridge tomorrow morning, but hopefully I will have some time for gaming.

HotS, most likely. Really enjoying the campaign, so far, much better tha WoL (but I may just be biased; Zerg are much more fun to play than Terran, esp with Kerrigan’s abilities). Never really got into it before, although I’ve been watching competitive matches since WoL came out, but having a blast with HotS. Sadly, Tomb Raider and MGR:R will have to wait…

  I reckon they both have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to enjoying terran and Zerg, for example in WOL I loved building tank lines and little sim cities, however with zerg I love the compact colonies and the more freedom of resource management.

  I’m enjoying HotS simply because it feels like Warcraft 3 campaign and I liked the Warcraft 3 campaign.
  
  Being able to spawn banelings that splinter and also heal your units is just insane. That covers a good chunk of my strategy in campaign missions: make banelings, blow shit up, make more banelings.
  
  Once I’m done with the campaign, I think I’ll jump onto ladder and test out the new Protoss units. Skytoss just looks obscenely sexy right now. Oracles, Void Rays and Tempest, oh my!

    Oh, yea, some of the evolutions are insane. I’m loving having pretty much auto-respawning zerglings thanks to the quick-hatching evo and Kerrigan’s auto-respawn ability – constantly replenished army with little effort. So amazing. Can’t wait to find out what the Hydra’s evos will be… XD

      You get a choice between being able to transform them into Lurkers from Starcraft Brood War (burrowed units that shoot out lines of spikes, very good at dealing with light units) and a unit I can’t remember that acts like a Sunken Colony from Starcraft (basically a better Spine Crawler but this one doesn’t need creep)
      
      This game really does have a lot of fun options. I went with Raptor lings instead of the fast spawning ones. Kind of regretting that but lings a leaping are still great fun.

        Yea, found that over the weekend. Frankly, the muta and hydra evos were somewhat disappointing. The swarm host and ultralisk evos more than made up for them, though 😛 Realised afterwards that I went with purple evolutions every time. ~~Bouncy banelings are so much fun!~~

Games night with a few mates tonight, so we’ll be playing tons of multiplayer games. Smash Bros Brawl, NSMBW, Mario Strikers, Mario Tennis (cube), Fifa etc.

But in terms of single player for the rest of the weekend – finishing Tomb Raider. I’m about 80% of the way through and loving it!

I might check out Tomb Raider’s multiplayer just to see what its like, now that I’ve finished the game I might as well see if the multiplayer lives down to expectations

Other than that I’ll probably be having a long session of Star Trek Online with a mate, surprising how much fun the game is now that it has a lot more content.

I may get back into Dead Space 3 but I’ve kind of lost the enthusiasm, I do want to finish it before Gears Judgement comes out though since that will probably monopolise my time.

Then again I could well just spend the entire weekend on the PC version of Trials Evolution, loving the TrialsHD tracks with the good physics, the bike reactions are now predictable enough that I’ve gold medalled 2 of the extreme tracks that I couldn’t even finish on the 360. The best part of the PC version for the moment is that I’m actually beating one of FatShady’s times! Probably not worth crowing about though, it took me a few dozen runs with the better bikes to get the platinum & it looks like he got it on his first run

Resident Evil 6 (picked it up from the recent xbox game sale).

You know what, despite all the negative reviews, I’m really enjoying it. Once you get the hang of the combat mechanics (sliding, rolling, changing weapons etc) it all becomes quite intuitive and is a blast to play. The story is pretty lame, but I do like the variety of enemies and bosses. I’m always wondering what mutated beast am I gonna deal with next.. But yeh u do have to approach it as a third person shooter and not a survival horror game.

Arma 3 Alpha, EVE, CS:GO, BBQ and beers will be the events in store. Will probably hit HotS and Paper Mario on 3DS when not LANning at mate’s place.
