What are you playing at the moment? I fancy that I might continue my (slow, always slow) trek through Dragon Age: Inquisition. Or now that the Xbox One has fixed all its updating problems, I might try and get a game in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. I can dream right?
It’s such a shame what happened to that game, actually. I can’t think of an experience I was more hyped to have — drifting from different Halo game to Halo game, playing all the different maps, all the maps I know so well. It seemed like a real dream come true. I hope 343 Industries can get it all working as it was initially advertised — but I hope it’s not all too little too late. What a dream package that game is. It deserves to be unleashed in its perfect form.
What are you guys and girls playing this weekend?

I will also be trudging through Dragon Age. Might also do a bit of FC4, or continue up some old vita games I’ve been neglecting, like Bullet Girls and Freedom Wars.
I have booted the missus out for the weekend, so I will be picking up a few brewskies and playing COD and destiny with a mate in a gaming marathon
Mother 3.
EDIT: Also watching the Video Game Awards tomorrow afternoon!
Keep a tissue box nearby 🙁
everyone keeps saying that! 😛
?
VGA’s are not THAT emotional, are they? 😉
Smash Bros, as well as Bayonetta 1 & 2.
Me too 🙂
I finished off the main game in LEGO Batman 3 before work. Probably going to do the DLC for that when I get home, then Smash Bros and maybe continuing where I left off on Persona 4 for the Vita.
Dragon Age: Inquisition!
GOTY for sure in my book
Damn straight!
Hot damn!
Having friends over this weekend so I’ll probably be playing Diablo III or Worms Battlegrounds in a bid to not have one person monopolising the Xbox while everyone sits around watching and talking which is what happened last time I had friends over. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing as long as everyone’s having a good time, but I feel like I’m not hosting right.
If there’s going to be at least 5 people, go grab yourself a copy of Resistance: Avalon. Trust me, there’s a lot of fun to be had with the constant bickering and accusations.
Only four of us, sadly, but I have been on the lookout for more board games. I’m a bit overwhelmed by choice so I’m trying to ease into it by sticking with the more familiar – I want to get one of the Game of Thrones ones but I don’t know which the good one is, any idea?
There’s only really two (the board game and the living card game) and they’re both good.
You probably want the board game though. It’s a territory control which is really highly praised. The LCG is about to be rebooted so right now is the worst possible time to get into it (and it’s only for two players head to head).
That being said, it’s a fairly heavy game. It might be a familiar concept but the game itself might be a little overwhelming if you haven’t really put much time into this style of game before. Not only that, it’s a Fantasy Flight game. So it’s going to be hard to learn.
Risk Legacy might be a better idea if you can convince everyone to play regularly.
Pick up a copy of coup of you can. Plenty of bickering for four players
I picked up the South Park RPG from that Steam mini-sale. It’s alright and I’ve made it through to the second day so far.
On the other hand, maybe I’ll try playing some Agricola online… or try my hand at a solo game. Because everyone knows that board games are so fun that they’re still fun when you’re playing with yourself.
How good is Stick of Truth!
I was so scared that they were going to mess it up, but it turned out to be one of the funniest games I’ve ever played.
I need to finish Stick of Truth. I started last weekend and I’m on the third day at the moment but I’ve not had any time to play this week.
SMAAAAAAAAAAASH
Might restart Dragon Age: Inquisition because I cant stand to look at my ugly Elf standing amongst attractive characters.
Some people are over tomorrow which means we break out the Wii U and play some Mario Kart, Nintendoland and Super Mario 3D World.
I fucked up when recreating my Hawke, I can’t stand to look at her but I don’t have any recent enough saves before that to redo her.
I was really proud of my Shepherd until my wife told me he looked like a chimpanzee.
Now I really want to play Mass Effect with an all ape cast.
Oh my god, my Shepards always looked half decent in the character creator and then a hot mess in the game. I was surprised my Inquisitor didn’t look like a dropped pie, but my Hawke has proved that was a fluke.
DA:I, FC4 and Lego Batman 3.
Also, all the talk of GTA5 has made me keen to play it again so might pick it up after work tomorrow morning.
I won’t be playing the MCC because I have an unfathomable hate for 343i! Why am I so mad at them? >:
I’m actually doing something I’ve never done in previous games. I’m going through new game plus in Borderlands Pre-Sequel. I guess I just find the overall design much better then the two previous games.
I might tap more into DA:I (only done the intro… kinda) or Alien: Isolation (Only just met the alien).
Of course, more work on a project I should have done 2 months ago.
Hearthstone.
For those who don’t know, if you log in before December 8th you get a free Arena entry as a promotion for the Goblins vs Gnomes expansion. Arena now has the Goblins vs Gnomes cards available ahead of the official release of the expansion, which is very likely to launch next week. Rumour has it that everyone will get 3 free GvG card packs when it launches too. Get on it!
Side quests in Dragon Age, playing through the first halo on the MCC, end game of pokemon omega ruby and I might possibly start on mordor if I get bored of those.
DA:I – gonna restart as a rogue archer and try to solo it on nightmare diff, get my arse handed to me and load up my OP mage for some self satisfaction.
Oh…and do some of the work project that’s due on next friday, not too much though. Got a whole week after all!!
Not much gaming time this weekend but I’ll try and fit in some smash and prolly Pokemon too.
Still Far Cry 4 and PES 2015, and looks to remain that way for the forseeable future.
Although the latest PS+ offerings landed this week, so I might take a look at Injustice: Gods Among Us and Secret Ponchos, too.
I’m playing “donate to wikipedia” as it has settled many a game fueled argument, and then probably downloading the Zen Pinball humble bundle and getting the Virtual Pin cabinet finished.
Still powering through FC4, but also, just like every day pretty much, Kerbal Space Program… lots of it…
My brother is currently driving 8hrs to hang out with me this weekend before I move to Aus in 2 weeks, might plug the Ps4 in and finally start The Last of Us Remastered.
Which state?
VIC, Melbourne
Omega Ruby hopefully I can get some online battles in.
Probably just going to leisurely plough through some PvP on WoW, and when not doing that – continue my Purkermen AS playthrough, and the horrific chore of trading my ‘mon from my US copy of X one at a time.
Also debating a fresh playthrough of P3P and P4G since I picked up Persona Q this week. That and multiple Final Fantasy playthroughs – those FF marathons on Twitch have got me inspired.
Make sure you use mystery gift in Alpha to get a shiny beldum and mega stone.
Sweet, thanks! Had my 3DS in my pocket, just grabbed it! Will have to make sure to do the same on my copy of OR as well.
Gotta catch em all.
Drakengard 3 mainly with some time spent in Disgaea 4 and Etrian Odyssey IV.
Ac Unity
finishing border lands pre sequel
Then borderlands 2
I got AC IV in the steam sales, I never got around to playing it before now, so ima play that. How is Unity? I don’t know if I should listen to all the people or just make up my own mind about it. I did that with AC III which I thought was a steaming POS.
Dragon Age: Inquisition, with breaks to watch cars drive around in circles really fast… and maybe crash into each other, if we’re being honest.
DA:I. Tried to get back into Destiny last night, but it’s shit in comparison…
DA:I and Destiny. Might try to get some gear to get my hunter alt another couple of levels to be able to raid with her.
Exploring the moral dilemma that is subbing to EVE after completing my trial…
The Saboteur. It’s been a pretty fun ride so far, hopefully the rest of the game is good.
I tried giving it a shot a year or two ago….it felt very dated and I gave up after a couple of hours. So…hopefully you like it more than me. *cough*…Anyhoo….
The Saboteur is a classic! Though I wouldn’t recommend playing it to soon after already playing a lot of 3rd person open-world games, or if you are sick of the formulae itself.
No WW2 game has ever made me feel as cornered in Nazi occupied Europe than Saboteur. Just that feeling of complete lockdown has never been done so well, I do reckon.
That monochromatic atmosphere of occupied Paris is so well done. Makes it all the more striking when you transition to the colourful ‘liberated’ areas. But that soundtrack though, still got it in my head!
Not to mention the thematic influence it has had on the artistic style of games dealing with the Propagandic nature of Nazi Occupation. Such as Wolfenstein: The New Order.
LOVED the Saboteur, but apparently the midnight show DLC can no longer be downloaded 🙁 It’s just some tits and stuff but still. The soundtrack for the Saboteur is fantastic, the cars are pretty cool and tearing through Paris with Nazis chasing you is awesome.
It can. I downloaded a few days ago on PSN, it’s also free now. And the soundtrack is kick-arse.
Sweet! It is listed as a ‘shut down service’ on http://www.ea.com/1/service-updates but great to see that you can still get access.
STO, gonna grind out a few more levs and get me closer to end game content AGAIN!!
Factorio will take up the major part of my weekend. Awesome game.
Dragon Age: Inquisition. A little Destiny if enough of my friends decide to play.
Warlords of Draenor. So much Warlords of Draenor.
ME3… I’m usually a couple of years behind everyone else because I’m tight and buy on sale 😛
A good game is a good game, no matter when you play it. I still have 8-bit and 16-bit games I’ve yet to play!
This is very true, hence why I am still playing Medieval 2 total war mods over the later TW iterations. More fun 🙂
When I imported my ME2 save, it was dated 2010! This is a play through 4 years in the making!
I still have a Final Fantasy 8 save, on an original PS1 memory card. I am at Ultimecias’ Castle – the reason for, both, not picking it back up and not ever deleting it! 😛
Dude, you gotta do it! I didn’t have a PS1 but played through FF8 with HS mates – more fun with friends!
I definitely will get back to it. Though I’ve recently started the whole Final Fantasy series from the start as I really need to experience games in sequence. Was a SEGA gamer, so missed out on Final Fantasy in the 90’s. So I’m going to “meet back up” to my FF8 save if ya catch my drift.
I completed FF1 on the NES a few months ago – took a good few weeks too! Started FF2 and am at the beginning of the grind on that… if only modern games lasted that long.
It’s good to keep a good balance of modern and retro games. Get bored classic games after a few months, play the latest stuff for a few months, back and forth, back and forth… I recommend a good emulation box, that sits under your TV, to anyone that has been there since the early days, and for those who grew up when 3D was the norm and want to experience VideoGames rich history.
Most likely I’ll keep plugging away at steam world dig. Gotta get all those sweet minerals.
Otherwise I’m not sure, about due to start a new game and no idea what I feel like.
Playing through GTAV again on Xbox One. The 1st person view really highlights Rockstars’ attention to detail. Just peacefully looking around the world is a game in itself.
I’m completely addicted to Mount and Blade Warband at the moment. Losing plenty of sleep because of it.
I’ll be playing “twiddle your thumbs” while I wait for my copy of DA:I and new stereo, both of which should arrive on Monday.
Until then… hmmm watching lots of soccer and reading I think.
Probably play some L4D some time too.
Dragon Age Inquisition on PC. On the portable side Persona Q.
Secret Ponchos
PS4 – got my Thief platinum with fewer problems than anticipated, but I have to say, that effing boss fight in chapter 7 is a bloody shambles if you are trying to stealth it. It CAN be done, but it seems you need to be super lucky with the RNG to avoid getting shot while opening the gate. Now that’s done, I’ve moved on to Never Alone (cute snow fox and little girl duo), then Tales of Thrones/Borderlands.
PS3 – still going with Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt. BL2 had a serious amount of substantial DLC!
Vita – finished Eufloria HD, which was entertaining but the last level or two were really a bit of a difficulty spike. Now Miku Miku Ni Shite Ageru-ing like crazy, perhaps with a side helping of Hyperdimension Neptunia Producing Perfection, but not really feeling it after completing the game once already.
2DS – Kirby Triple Deluxe here and there. Enjoying it and can admit that Nintendo knows how to do a pretty decent platformer.
Why a 2DS and not a 3DS/DSi?
I’ll be playing GTA V on PS4 and WoW most likely.
SWTOR: Shadow of Revan!
Got too many characters to get to Level 60.
The pain is real.
Dark Souls! I’ve been meaning to play for a long time, and after picking it up on the recent Steam sale and getting past the horrors of GFWL, I’m loving it! Stuck at the Capra Demon but I’ll get by eventually 🙂
I’m also playing some Terraria on the side with some friends, powering through Hardmode as a tank/melee feels amazing.
12 hours into GTA IV so may just play more of that, with some Europa Universalis IV and Pokemon OR on the side.
