What is usually a ‘dead’ period for video games has actually ended up turning up a handful of gems for me. I recently finished Gone Home and Papers Please and enjoyed both for completely different reasons and next week I’ll no doubt fire up my PS Vita when Spelunky is released, but now? I’m at a bit of a loss. I don’t know what to play?
With my apartment being flooded I’ve avoided going into my living room, but I may have to venture in there if I want to have new video games to play. Games like Pikmin 3, Brothers and The Last Of Us (which I’ve yet to finish).
I really, probably should finish The Last Of Us.
What are you guys playing this weekend?

Goddamn it Mark, finish it already!
Yes do! It’s pobably already been ruinationed, how could poilers be avoided for son long!
*edit: lol, Apologies. I blame the tiny touch screen I typed on. Translation: “It’s pobably already been ruined, how could spoilers be avoided for so long!”
…Slow down, and breathe before you type 😛
Wait.
What.
and back to English…
“you must defeat sheng long to stand a chance!”
Equilibrium Found!
FINNISH IT Mark! Such a good game. Someone else on here stated this too – one of the best video games of this generation. Neil Druckmann is such a creative/talented big dawg.
My PC died, so I’ll be diving back into the PS3 games.
May even boot up New Vegas again.
Hmm, Ace Attorney 2, I think.
Hopefully the German intern from work.
More likely though, The Last of Us.
Wonderful 101!
I have to tough out the final part of xcom enemy unknown.
I dunno, probably games.
Maybe Pikmin 3. It is pretty cool. I have indeed been enjoying it much more playing with the wiimote.
Dragon’s Dogma
Dead Rising 2, Sonic Adventure, BlOps 2 and may try out the new Rumble Pit variants in Halo 4. Bit busy tonight and tomorrow, but Sunday is devoted purely to gaming. Very excited .
Skyrim and Blops 2 for me.
The Bureau!
Skyrim.
I need to finish Pikmin3 and Space Hulk, but I made the mistake of cranking up Diablo3 yesterday to check out the changes since I played last. I suspect I’ll be playing D3. /cry
I’ll be attempting hard mode BBI in Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen at level 78. Also I’ll be playing Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention and Metroid (NES).
Hopefully I have time to play some more Papers, please. I find this game oddly intriguing. It reminds me of a little management game I played in my youth called DrugLord…
Also I wish The Walking Dead would come out for Vita already. Although I should probably finish off Gravity Rush.
The Beaureu or Splinter Cell Blacklist if they arrive today, otherwise I’ll probably jump on The Old Republic again, though I should really get around to finishing Crysis 2 and starting Crysis 3…
I’m also still working through it, mind you I did start it a reasonable time after release (my save file says I’m 69% through). I still don’t think I’ll get around to finishing it this weekend but should hopefully knock over a decent chunk. The thing about the game is that it’s quite deliberately paced in many areas to be quite slow, so it takes a long time to get through.
And I’ve mostly managed to avoid spoilers on it which I think is an achievement.
Will continue to play Stealth Bastard/Inc… this game has been taking over my life to and from work. Looking to push towards the end of the main game, just started the 7th World this morning and I do love how each world is built around a particular puzzle element.
Might attempt to get a few rounds of Everybody’s Golf in also.
Perhaps also… try and start The Last Of Us!
Just started playing Mafia II. So will continue that over the weekend. I’ll probably keep trying to get those platinum medals on Pikmin 3 mission mode too
Just need to finish off Alan Wake before GTA V lands. It’s hard because it’s getting boring…walk here…ambush….walk there…ambush. I only want to find out what happens!
And then you’ll have to play the DLC and American Nightmare to get the actual ending, and they are sooooooo boring and repetitive (I literally finished American Nightmare last night).
Is American Nigtmare worth playing for more story? I loved the shit out of the original game, but the ending was…not particularly satisfying, so I played the 2 DLC episodes. But they didn’t leave me heaps keen for American Nightmare.
American Nightmare is more of a completion of the story, but I wouldn’t call it a strong conclusion. It’s kind of meaningless really. The shooting mechanics are much better than the base game, but it is extremely repetitive. I really can’t recommend (as someone who saw the first game as awesome if a bit repetitive by the end).
Just finished American Nightmare recently after finishing the original. I thought the original was solid, a bit dated, but solid. American nightmare is SO REPETITIVE. It is painful and lazy. IT does tie up the story pretty well though. The gameplay is super boring however.
OK – deleted this post because the spoiler tag isn’t working. Suffice to say the game is shamelessly and wilfully repetitive.
Damn. I’m pretty close to uninstalling and just reading a spoiler! Your comment may tip me over the edge.
Decided to restart X-COM last night. I had a bug that built the wrong room in my base about eight hours into the game, and lost a bunch of council members at the end of the month because I couldn’t launch satellites I was counting on (it didn’t help that I didn’t realise how important they were). Anyway, hoping third times the charm.
Hangar module for Star Citizen is released on the 24th so might be playing* that.
*by playing I mean looking at my pretty ship.
Divekick and Thomas was alone (which is $5) on Vita I think. Also Papers Please
Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Feed the Beast… which crashed my PC yesterday (full on bluescreen… why did MS decide to put a smiley on the bluescreen?), corrupting my configs and my save files. A month of progress, gone. 🙁 Oh well, time to start over.
Started SC:B this morning, got my arse kicked by the tutorial… The intro made it look like a third-person action game, so I treated it as such… and got murdered. Need to keep reminding myself: “this is a stealth game… this is a stealth game… this is a stealth game…”
Payday 2 for me. A patch just dropped that fixes a lot of the minor issues in the game.
I’m going to try and get back into Lost and Damned after having taken an accidental break from it for two weeks, then I might try and get some more X-Com played before the DLC comes out and changes stuff.
I haven’t bought any new games yet, I’m going to hold off on The Bureau, and Splinter Cell is probably something I’ll pick up when my wife feels like it – I’m in no rush.
Finishing off Fahrenheit…. (Indigo Prophecy)
I haven’t really played much of my Origin bundle so probably Dead Space 3 and Battlefield 3 (which I finally downloaded overnight when my quota reset)
Animal Crossing New Leaf (SOMEONE HELP ME)
And maybe I’ll start Bioshock Infinite..
Might play some more Resident Evil 5 or continue trudging through the last of us
Yea that GTA Online trailer got me this week. Re installed GTA 4 (BOGT) for the Multi. Still a fair few people on there, and man, it still is so much fun. I cannot wait for GTA5 on PC, with the online looking awesome. As long as it is comparable to 4’s multi, with a few more missions and things to do, it is going to be absolutely the end of any spare time, for around 6 months. Also have Tomb Raider and Bioshock infinite to start.
Hopefully finishing the last 2 chapters of Max Payne 3, getting more into Far Cry 3 which is brilliant, and getting past the bit i’m stuck on in The Last Of Us… oh, and watching the F1 GP from Spa 🙂
Hell yea, MP3 is awesome. Pretty epic finish too. Go Webber! Multi 21 Seb!
No new games for me. I’ll be playing CS:GO, at least in my free time. That and maybe a little bit of Halo CE. It’s 12 years old but MP is still a lot of fun.
Dishonored.
Saints Row 4 all the way (thanks US Playstation store)
I’ll be alternating between Spelunky, Skyrim, Saints Row IV, X-Com: The Bureau and Skullgirls probably… focusing mainly on SRIV and Skyrim
Saints Row IV and maybe a bit of splinter cell action.
Final Fantasy XIII on PS3 – 60 hours in and loving it! Only another 60 or so left 🙁
Lego Lord of the Rings on Vita – I can see that this is a port of the 3DS version 🙁 But still OK fun, and free, so I’ll probably platinum it.
Project X Zone on 3ds
Tales of Xillia until 6:30PM Saturday. On that day and hour, I’ll be playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn early access 😀
Not really certain.. Origin Bundle just had a couple more games added, albeit extremely old titles, and then there’s always the 20 other games I have to play.. bit swamped with games right now that I can’t decide between them until I’m sitting in front of my PC.
Well im introducing a friend to Guild Wars 2, trying out smite a bit, playing some mass effect, but above all else… League of Legends.
State of decay, gotta get the last few achevos
I finished Last of Us last weekend, so don’t really know what I’ll play. I never finished God of War: Ascension, so I might play that. Also might check out the Killzone: Mercenary beta of Vita.
Saints Row 4 with VPN unlock out of protest.
Bought Lollipop Chainsaw yesterday. Near the end in one sitting. The one liners in this game are a non stop assault of comedy brilliance. Will finish this arvo.
Also finished CoJ: Gunslinger – amazing for the price.
Than it is back too Shadowrun Returns and Dishonored DLC all weekend.
