Now that I’m done with World of Warcraft for a while, a whole new world of possibility has opened up. What should I play people? Any suggestions?
I’ve started playing Valiant Hearts again but, to be perfectly honest, I’ve been finding it a little bit dull. This is in spite of loving the art style. I don’t know, I guess I just expected better writing because of that goddamn amazing trailer. I guess I don’t think this game needs to have some silly pantomime villain when it’s about World War I.
Still, I might persevere. See how I go.
I’m also considering starting up The Last of Us again with the remastered version. I’m finding it hard to motivate myself for that one though.
And I’d also like to finish off Wind Waker HD or maybe even Pikmin 3? I have a lot of games to knock off actually. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is another one. I was loving that game to death — no idea why I stopped playing.
Anyway, a lot for me to catch up on. What are you playing this weekend?

Probably going to stream some more Binding of Isaac, trying to adjust to using a Playstation 1 controller.
WoW as always… and since reading the article on Kotaku this morning i will be playing the heck out of the Warcraft Alliance and Horde mod on Starcraft 2 Arcade.
I’ll be playing some Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds with friends and then a mix of Project X-Zone, BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma and Ultra SFIV.
Like you I have The Last Of Us Remastered and am finding it hard to start up again, played the other day for 2 hours but lost interest even though it is amazing? not sure why it doesn’t feel the same this time round.
Also might give Shovel Knight a shot and I have a massive backlog of PC Games from the Steam sales still
I have a Warmachine/Hordes tournament in Melbourne at 9 AM tomorrow. It’s single list, 35 points with 10 point specialist list. So I have to think of a list that covers overall oppositions rather than building a trait list. Gonna take Motherwracking epic Reznik for another spin.
Other then that, maybe Halo: Reach or Crysis 3 (360), or checking out my backlog.
I was thinking about playing my 2DS, but because my unit blew up I may or may not have watched Nintendo/Capcom steal 70 bucks off me.
Your unit blew up? Do tell…
My 2DS stopped charging. Taking it back for the third time we exchange the battery into another unit and see that it still charges. Meaning the unit I have is busted and any games I downloaded onto that unit are gone.
I think if you call Nintendo they should be able to transfer your purchases to another system.
I finally got around to the Walking Dead game and am loving it, going to finish S01E05 this weekend!
Last of Us Remastered – Didn’t play the original (no PS3) so all to look forward to
It was worth every single moment of my game time. Such a masterpiece
Dark Souls 2 DLC
I’m being slaughtered. I made it to the 2nd bonfire at least, and I figured out how to make the ghosts corporeal so that I can at least attempt to kill them, but I am dying lots and lots.
More ethereal ghosts? Gah… I hated New Londo ruins… 🙁 I was hoping the ones in the crypt were a sign they’d stopped making things unhittable…
Why you not finished pikmin 3 yet!? Urgg *heavy disappointed sigh*
Gonna be up all Saturday night flying through SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
Elite calls, but Smash is in the way.
Try and finish sacred 3 in hardest difficulty and replay Last of us and maybe some D3 on PC
Dark Souls 2 – finishing up some loose ends before I get my internet back so I can play the DLC. I want to get Belfry Luna done before I get my internet back (hopes high that it’ll be next week sometime – phone line finally got connected and activated yesterday); I wonder how the gargoyles will feel about facing my Dark Greatsword +10… Then Smelter Demon or Vendrick… Still not sure about facing the Ancient Dragon… is there any real reason to do so, completion aside?
Some more Rocksmith, too, of course. Got the main riff for Slither (Velvet Revolver) down this week – so much fun to play! Of course, it sounds like crap outside the game, but that may be because I don’t have an amp… might need to invest in a real one soon…
Rogue Legacy
This game is kicking my ass and I love it
I’m still trying to find one of those cheap WiiU bundles.. I think I’ll wait till they have a special again, otherwise it’ll be more heroes of the storm!
How is HotS? I didn’t register for a beta key but I’m keen to know secondhand…
It’s not bad, definitely worth a few hours of fun with friends!
I’ll be playing work, interspersed with Forza 5, Herthstone, Skylanders: Swap Force, Disney Infinity, Trials: Fusion and reading Metro 7.
Be honest monkey! You don’t have time for me and hearthstone anymore :'(
Oh say it ain’t so cruel world! SAY IT AINT SO!
Nah, I’m still playing practice and trying to unlock the basic decks.
I’ve thought about trying to get into Magic The Gathering, I’ve played 3 physical rounds of the card game in 2008 but nothing then. Would you recommend Hearthstone though as a card game?
Definitely, it’s so easy to pick up.
Do I need to have played WoW though? Never played it lol
Nah, I’ve never played WoW before. Just make sure you download the Battle.net Authenticator App on your phone for security.
Just traded my Xbox One in and purchased a PS4 with TLOU remastered… Sooo that and DayZ.
How much they give you for the xbox curiously. I may get a 2nd hander maybe. Just can’t justify having the thing at all but feel odd it being the only console I never got.
$250. Not great but eh, no point having both consoles really. I thought I’d keep it for Halo & Fable etc but I doubt I’d play them much anyway. PC, PS4 and Wii U ftw.
The PC, PS4, Wii U combo really is the FTW man. You would really be keeping the XB for two franchises which is just insane seems there really is more must plays then anyone with a job or school has time to play through.
As for TLOU, you got a double remaster after going from the crappy TV ay.
Haha sure did. Finished it on Monday, good stuff 🙂
First time with Tlou? If so, enjoy!
I gave it a shot on ps3 but I was playing on a terrible 10 year old tv with poor picture quality so I didn’t end up finishing it.
Grounded Mode TLoU:Re and some multiplayer.
Got a copy of Hatsune Miku Project Diva f that arrived in the post this week (don’t judge me) so I’ll be playing that I guess.
How about I judge you harshly as a way to cover up my curiosity at it myself?
I saw someone playing it on twitch and it looked really damn colourful. Then I found out that it has the Nyanyanyanyan song in the game and that tipped me over the edge XD
Im only judging on the fact it took you this long to get it
there is an annoyance with the game – the backgrounds are way too bright sometimes making it hard to follow the buttons
I find it’s worse on the PS3 version due to the screen size. The vita version seems better, at least for me.
I’ll judge you for waiting for so long before playing it! But seriously, having platinumed Diva f (JP), Diva F, Diva f and Diva f 2nd, I think it’s an awesome game. I even have my own Miku figurine ~~

Might do collectible/achievement hunting in ACIII but I might not since I have no intention of playing the multi so I can’t 100% it. I might set it aside until I can afford the DLC.
I don’t want to star Black Flag until I’m sure i’m 100% done with ACIII. I might try and finish Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition while my wife is napping since she hasn’t played it yet, then I might do some collectible hunting in that too. I might do the multiplayer in that if I can find some games, see what the prospects are of getting 100% completion.
Beyond that I’m kind of at a loss. I have plenty of stuff to play but I don’t want to start anything right now that requires a large time commitment.
I 100%ed the main game of AC3. Wasn’t too onerous getting all the collectibles/achievements, but I did a lot of it as I went along, clearing out the feathers and forts.
The DLC is an “alternate history” – I just couldn’t really get into it despite finishing the main game twice. I’m not sure it’s essential.
AC4 is good fun. Again I did lots of collectible hunting early on, opening up the map. Enjoy!
Tomb Raider there’s one slightly annoying achievement involving doing all the side conversations. It’s the only single player one I missed. :-/
Ah, I’ve probably missed that one too. I’m sure there was at least one chapter where I had the opportunity to talk to the crew members and didn’t.
Which is extra stupid because I’m actually playing the DE on Xbone as my second playthrough. I already finished it once on 360.
I’ll be playing The Adventures of Big: The Ragoon.
I have a new kittenIts name is ‘Big’!? That’s awesome. I had a teddy bear called that when I was about 1 year old (it was about as big as I was).
Yep! He’s half maine coon and they can get real big. Apparently he is big for his age so hopefully he lives up to his name.
On Call. A game my brother and I made with no funding in 3 weeks on psm for vita. I’m quadruple checking to see if I can spot post launch bugs that need squashing. That and the last of us. And infamous again.
I’ll be giving the local indie Screencheat beta a good run. It’s a trippy game that I want to get competent at playing. It’s quite awkward at first but I believe the brain can adapt to play it smoothly and confidently.
New Vegas. Gonna get around to getting into the Strip one of these days. Just arsing around doing random quests in the meantime though
WoW and Hearthstone! I will not give in and start up endless legend :@ Lost my whole weekend last week to that game :@
Pile of shame time… aim to finish Crysis 3. 🙂
I’m playing “Happy Families”. I have a newborn and my in-laws in the house. There is no escape for me ;-).
I might try and sneak onto the Trove Alpha as it’s on special for $5.
Day of the tentical as I finished maniac mansion on the nes last weekend
Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS), LEGO Marvel Superheroes (Wii U), maybe finish off Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut (Wii U) or Final Fantasy X(-2) HD (PS3).
I may actually finish Xenoblade this weekend. I’m close. 207hrs in and I’ve done every side quest possible without moving on to the last areas of the game.
I have the utmost respect for your patience! Are you using a walkthrough to make sure you don’t miss any?
Xenoblade wikia with the side quests exported to an excel spreadsheet so I can mark them off as I do them 😉
Upvotes for Xenoblade!
I’m catching up on all the obscure RPGs I missed last generation. This weekend: Pandora’s Tower for Wii.
Based on your Xenobladey post above, did you end up playing The Last Story?
Pandora’s Tower has been on my pile for a while and is the only “Operation Rainfall” game I never played/finished. I thought The Last Story was a bit unpolished and like Xenoblade way, way, wayyy more!
I played through The Last Story and found it good, but quite underwhelming. I had chalked this up to playing it after Xenoblade – but what you say makes me think that maybe it was only a good game, and not a great one.
I’m liking Pandora’s Tower more than The Last Story, and in a way incomparable to Xenoblade. I liked the “epic”-ness of Xenoblade, but I like the Zelda-likeness of Pandora’s Tower’s gameplay. Its characters do leave a bit to be desired, though…
Oooh interesting. I just assumed Pandora’s would be the worst out of the three based on reviews, but I do love me some Zelda.
Xenoblade Chronicles X hype!
I’m seriously considering rebuying the Uncharted trilogy and playing through them again. If I don’t get around to doing that then maybe some Dragon Age or Fallout 3?
There’s got to be a PS4 remaster of the trilogy on it’s way. I just hope I can hold out long enough for it. =P
Remastered – specifically MP. LOVE IT
Titanfall (on Xbone) and maybe Dark Souls (I have to work out what to do about the Hydra in Darkroot Basin it one hit kills me with water… WATER FFS!!!)
Also Super Mario Galaxy!
Get the rusty iron ring. So you can move in water easily. You may have it already in your inventory if not google where to get it as I can not remember.
I got that (wanted it for the swamp at the bottom if blight town) I guess my dream of taking it on a long range is over and I’m gonna have to man up and take it on close quarters
Yep. The trick is to hang to its side (making sure you don’t fall into the chasm) that way you only need to avoid 1 arm, take it out, move more to centre, take out 2nd arm etc etc. Much easier from the side.
By the time you read this though you would of probably smashed the thing anyway.
Nope not yet – chickened out went to Sen’s Fortress instead, now that I’ve read that I’m going back tonight!!
I can only wish you luck sir for once you get passed Sen’s Fortress you get to Anor Londo and the boss (or 2 😉 ) there are for more troublesome than any Hydra.
I did it (the Hydra) by doing exactly what you suggested and getting close – the heads are much more manageable than the magic water!
The first time I fell in the chasm but I beat it on the second try
Now I’m off to deal with that giant cat in the forest
If you mean Sif the Wolf with the Sword in his mouth. Well don’t read his back story about Artorias and the grave he is guarding as killing Sif will then break your heart.
Wind Waker and Divinity Original Sin probably.
Though my jap copy of Yakuza Ishin (PS4) did rock up today hurrah!
I’m a bit directionless. I want to start The Last of Us up on the PS4 or finally get around to StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, but I also want to play like a third person action RPG MMO that doesn’t exist. There’s something in the back of my head that keeps telling me there’s a huge game like League of Legends or World of Warcraft out there that I’m totally overlooking.
It’s like there’s a Fable MMO out there and it’s on the tip of my tongue but I just can’t find the words to put into Google or Steam to get there. I really feel like there’s an entire genre in my mental blindspot.
Fez and Crysis 3 for me (yes obviously I am a PS plus member), but I will be thinking about Diablo 3
Smash some Skyrim, then maybe some random stuff when I ragequit after an inconvenient CTD (or if i fall off the side of a mountain again) and realise I’ve forgotten to save often enough even with quicksave.
I’ll be playing some custom modules of NWN2. I recently got back into Neverwinter Nights, and forgot how excellent it was. There’s so many excellent user made content available for free, it’s just amazing.
I would of thought the content would of been taken down by now. I got the original and sequel as they came out but never got far in number 2 due to crap PC at the time borking my full priced purchase. Does it still hold up all these years later?
Sorry for the delayed reply, Neverwintervault.org my friend. New content still being released and limitless old content! There’s also graphics mods that really bring it up to scratch.
Archeage, that is all. Thanks.
is it any good? It’s in Alpha in NA release atm right?
Probably finishing Mario and Luigi: Dream Team Bros and Fallout New Vegas. Most of my weekend will be spent playing Wedding Anniversary Celebration 4 with my wife. It involves leaving my 19 month old son with his nana and staying in a hotel in town for the night eating steak for dinner, buffet breakfast and seeing Guardians of the Galaxy. Hopefully rated R. 😀
Got the Kmart Wii U bundle with Skylanders: Swap Force so I have that to finish plus Super Mario 3D World…maybe Mario Kart 8 if someone comes visit. Just waiting for SOMETHING NEW ON PS4!!!!!!!!! Hurry up!!!!
Dragon Age II, finishing off before Inq arrives
Dead Space 3, been a bit of a slog but I enjoy the world
Transistor, just picked up the other day.
How you finding Transistor? I really like the kill and levelling up system. It’s fun to experiment with different combos 😀
Haven’t got that far, beat the first boss.
Think I like the art & music better than the gameplay.
Been keeping it aside for times when Remote Play is the only option, but having been home sick Ive been able to finish off some TV only games.
Beat DAII last night and DS3 tonight.
Started back on Jade Empire, at the slaughterhouse. The shitty stealth is boooooooooooooooring.
The game was still a bit meh for me at the first boss as well. It definitely picks up after there when you unlock more abilities 😀
When I say Jade Empire, I of course meant Beyond Good and Evil. (cc @dc )
Also, last night I started a new Dragon Age Origins game, hoping to knock it over before I’m back at work Thursday.
PS3 – finished with Under Siege (what a SHITTY ending, I’m not joking) and now wondering how the hell to beat Big Daddies in Bioshock.
PS4 – Finished with Trine 2 Complete Story (great game but got tedious and that final boss was cheap and nasty) and now started Thief. My first Thief game and liking it OK at the moment.
PS Vita – Still going with my dual JP/ENG playthroughs of Monster Monpiece with Borderlands 2 suspended on my third Vita. I’m regretting this as now I have to charge two phones, a tablet and three vitas on a regular basis.
I’ve got a mate coming around for a big drinking/fifa session. After i’ve (hopefully) destroyed him at fifa we can get through a few more local multiplayer games . Just got mgsv off psn for $18 so i might have a go at it before he arrives.
Some wondertrading and Scatterbug hoarding on Pokemon Y, maybe a bit of Castlevania III (fun game but damn is it hard!!!) otherwise just some Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft, with some Payday 2 if I have time 🙂
The Witcher!
I’ve been trying to finish off that and The Wonderful 101 for the past couple of months but progress is slow 🙁
I’m trying to get into varous RTS’s.
