This weekend? I’m not really planning to play anything really. I guess I could catch up on Shadow of Mordor or give Dragon Age: Inquisition its eighth chance, but I probably won’t. It’s one of those weird situations where I have all these games but I don’t feel like playing any of them.
One thing I am toying with is replaying Alien: Isolation from the start. I didn’t finish the game, and I’m regretting that. Maybe it’s worth starting again from the start. Not sure if I should do that or just jump right in from where I left off.
Also: call me crazy, but I’m also thinking about another quick run through Dark Souls. Why not?
What are you guys and girls playing this weekend?

I’m playing this very rare game that comes out every few years but has a lot of replay value and lasting appeal.
It’s called the Unemployment game >:
What sort of job are you looking for?
Looking? I’m losing it.
Oh! Sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out OK.
What sort of Job will you be looking for once you’re finished with your current one tho??? – Start looking and applying now – the sooner you’re into a new job the better – trust me, I’ve just spent the last 4 months unemployed, It’s not as fun as it sounds – the fact that I got a large redundancy didnt help the motivation to look for a new job – I’m wishing i’d only had about a week or two off before stepping into another job.
the playing games drinking beer and smoking ciggies is the best job…. if you can manage it
Yep, I had that experience myself. I started looking as soon as I knew I was losing my job and ended up getting something about 1 week after my last day, luckily.

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne

Gonna purchase some Digital Devil Saga, Raidou Kuzanoha & Parasite Eve during the sale & 10% off weekend on US PSN.
Oh yeah!
Was that Raidou Kuzanoha vs The Soulless Army? I loved it. One of my favourite SMT games.
I’ve been going back through the PS3 PS+ games, and giving them a shot before I decommission the machine. Last week it was Brothers, this weekend it might be Remember Me or DmC or I dunno.
Edit: Also finally got back into D3 on PS4. Up to Act IV. We’ll finish this bastard eventually. I’ve been trying since I bought it on PC on launch day!
Why would you blow up your own console?
“To take (a ship or a military base, for example) out of active service or use; render inactive“. I believe I used the term correctly?
But, it can still be played forever. Why throw it into a closet forever?
Because I only have limited HDMI/power/cabinet spots for entertainment devices. Its blu ray and PVR roles have been assumed by other devices. So it’s nearly cupboard time!
Obviously you need another TV and cabinet.
I’m in the same position with my PS3, wrapping up the backlog of ps+ games. Started Deadly Premonition last night… that game is on drugs. So glad they chose it for PS+ though would not have tried it otherwise. The selections are pretty great really.
Brothers was excellent.
Try Sly Cooper Thieves in Time if you haven’t already. Light-hearted and not terribly long. I found it refreshing 🙂
I’m thinking of streaming some I Wanna Be The Boshy this weekend if I can find some time. It looks really challenging and fun.
Resident Evil HD and probably some more D3 Reaper of Souls. I’m completely through my backlog now and I’m just holding on until The Order 1886, Bloodborne and The Witcher 3. Theres really not much to play atm 🙁
Probably finish off DA Inquisition. I’ve spent less time on it as it I get closer to the end, trying to make it last. Then start on Shadow of Mordor.
Next week I’ve got Life is Strange and Grim Fandango, so will enjoy the calm before the storm this weekend.
“I’m the Grim Reaper, lardass, and you’re my next customer!”
I’m killing my gaming backlog at the moment, just started Far Cry 4 last night and am really liking it at present.
I had trouble liking this game. I enjoyed Farcry 3 a lot, but 4 just wasnt hitting the right notes. After several more hours I’m really starting to enjoy it. The chaos is brilliant.
Yeah! For a country that’s in the middle of a revolution I actually felt like I was in the middle of it.
Getting the BF4 bug again, pushing to 100 (on 97 atm), and probably continue PvZ2 and maybe pick a game from my immense Vita backlog to start on.
oh man i’ve been getting back into BF4 too, pretty excited for Hardline, even if it is just a re-skinned battlefield 4 its more battlefield 4 and that is good 😛
I have a friend I play with regularly, and we have a blast. I tend not to play as much alone, but with a friend we regularly team up and hit Conquest servers doing everything from a vehicle team, to a sniper team – just about anything. So much fun – I always end up laughing my arse off or screaming and yelling. (In a good way) I don’t get that animated with many games.
EDIT: Oh and yes – majorly hyped for Hardline for the same reasons. BF gets a lot of stick these days, but my issues with it are always minimal, and I have far too much fun to care.
Yeah that’s exactly it, I’ve been playing Battlefield since I was 13 when 1942 came out and have gone through every iteration since and now on PS4 but it’s basically my go to game when there isn’t a new Dark Souls or Zelda etc.
I still pine for Bad Company 3. BC2 was just incredible – Vietnam included.
MP D3 tonight (SLYPH1000 on PS4 if anyone wants to add), chapter 2 of The Wolf Among Us, maybe finishing TLOU Remastered or jumping back into Dragon Age. Plenty to do! 🙂
I’m also killing my gaming back log and finally playing a lot of PS3 games I never gave the time of day to but should have… Far Cry 3, Fallout 3 & Fallout New Vegas & Batman Arkham City oh and Final Fantasy X/X2 HD.
Or maybe even continuing to finish Dragon Age: Inquisition… So much to do!
GTA V 100% completion and maybe some Far Cry 4 – I shudder at my Vita backlog it is starting to scare me.
Yeah, me too, particularly as the Vita backlog contains quite a few JRPGs…
Currently tackling my huge backlog and I’m onto Witcher 2. God damn I’m enjoying this game. Doesn’t feel like my hand is being held that much either.
That just been added to my backlog thanks to GWG!
I have taken a vow to quit gaming for up to 60 days (with a 30 day check in) to support my mate who is quitting smoking.
I am 2 days in and food has lost its taste. I forget what birds sound like. It’s a messy situation.
Despite this silly challenge, I still preordered and downloaded Dying Light. But now it just sits there … rotting (pun!).
Nice idea! Good luck to your friend! I quit myself about 5 or 6 years ago. Best decision.
I’m playing a game called “help your sister move to a new house in a town 2 hours away because she’s too precious to organise herself properly”. It has the most advanced mother-nagging and sister-bitching I have ever seen. A lovely way to spend the long weekend.
True, but you’ll feel like an awesome guy when all’s said and done. Kudos! Maybe you could take a handheld with you in case there is any downtime while she decides where the sofa is going to go 🙂
Just bought galaxy 2 and dkcr for 13 a pop on the eshop, thought they’d be worth a run through. Might rage at the timed runs in dk though!
I decided to give my wii u some love and bought monster hunter 3 ultimate … I think I’ve begun digging a deep deep hole to rival the one I just crawled out of for destiny.
No idea what I’m doing, but running around with a giant bone hammer is pretty rad. I get a kick out of the fact that by bludgeoning weapon needs to be as sharp as a saber to not degrade
Should finally get a tv tomorrow they had to order one in, mate is down from brisbane so no doubt will be showing him around, got a gig on Saturday night then international street food festival on Sunday, his flight back Monday is like 7am so may get on FarCry4 Monday if all goes to plan…..straya.
STRAYA!
Shadow of Mordor, or Mario Galaxy 2, or maybe Telltale’s newer games: GoT or Borderlands (picking them up off PSN this weekend). Probably Mordor.
PS4 – currently playing the SP campaign of GTAV and really enjoying the scale of the map along with the various opportunities for being a dick. I might also crack out some MP Diablo III, Fifa 14 or something else with local MP as I have a mate coming over tonight while the wife’s away!
PS3 – Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, which is my first Sly game and I’m quite enjoying it. The 3D platforming is taking a little while to get used to though. Level design seems really awesome,
Vita – Rainbow Moon, one of those titles that seems to drag on forever yet still retains my interest. Almost 50 hours in now, the story line is wafer-thin, the enemies are just tougher variants of previous enemies, but for some reason I’m still playing it. Maybe it is the gorgeous scenery, which just pops on the OLED Vita, or the combat, which is pretty fun as well.
Vita – Miku! Got the song club pass and am now trying to get Extreme Perfect on the DLC songs. I got Aikotoba in three goes, but Sekiranun Graffiti is looking slightly tougher with its chain of rapid notes.
2DS – Kirby Triple Deluxe if I can prise it away from my daughter. She’s ahead of me now in completion percentage 🙁
If you enjoy sly cooper think about picking up the ps2 hd trilogy, my favourite games on the ps2. Sly 2 is especially good and is one of my favourite games of all time.
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and maybe Birth By Sleep if I finish it. Disgaea 4 will most likely be played in the down times along with working on my No Encounters Bravely Default run.
PES 2015. Still. I just… can’t… stop.
Destiny. I finally have everything I need to get my warlock to level 32, except rep with Eris, so will be doing my best to get the last 1100 rep over the weekend. Will also finally scrap my alt warlock for a titan, and get them as close as possible to 20 over the weekend.
Might hop on Minecraft (FTB) as well, work on getting some basic armour and start plundering the Nether… or maybe look for meteors to make a start on my initial reason for starting a new world last week – playing with the new AE2 networks/channels/routing stuff.
I will be playing Elite:Dangerous (pleasantly surprised with this one) whilst juggling surfing and babies.
Don’t drop the babies, your wife will kill you.
Hahaha I’m more worried about the surfboard 😛
When I eventually get back home I’ll be changing between Driveclub and Borderlands The Pre sequel
Finally got a free weekend, gonna get some time to play Dragon Age: Inquisition
Eyeing off buying Driveclub for $AUD 33 with the 10% discount – weather effects, cars that don’t just follow a straight line, new Japan tracks… tempting.
Not worth it, the game is rubbish. I tried to trade it in and JB is offer $1 trade in value. ONE DOLLAR. I enjoyed forza horizon 2 more but while it’s a good racing game structurally it lacked anything that got me hooked.
Grey Goo!
H1Z1
What is that actually like? I’ve been tempted though not enough to grab it yet
If you like the genre, get it. Crafting system is pretty neat, your character will remember recipes and discoveries after death. You have one character per server. There’s hunting, basic base building. The engine is smooth, there’s no desync, etc. Devs have been quick to fix issues everyday since release.
Honestly, it’s a nice alternative to DayZ which is riddled with hackers atm and is still fucked by that horrible engine.
– zombie survival enthusiast with 700 hours in DayZ.
God dammit you may just have swayed me even though i vowed not to touch another early access game.
Still on DA:I, just got Skyhold, spent all night last night talking to people, didn’t kill a thing! Loving every second of it.
Wing Commander 3.
Fuck this century. Mid 90s era gaming is what I need!
100% agree
Assassin’s Creed Rogue. After next gen’s Black Flag, going back might be difficult.
Having mates over for a two day lan, bbq and drinks… Straya!
Games are to include Insurgency, Depth, L4D2, Killing Floor, CS GO and GTA 2.
Also, Castlevania, Lord of Shadows.
Awesome game!
If you’rte playing on PC, use the controller for the second titan fight. It asks you to do a QTE that is literally impossible on a keyboard.
Playing it on PS3, due to my preference of third person games on console, and first person games on PC.
Also, is that the fight where they totally plagiarised from Shadow of the Colossus?
It’s the second one which they totally plagiarised from Shadow of the Colossus.
I loved that game, so that fight will be sweet.
Uh… the first one is okay. The second one is an unholy abomination even without the impossible QTE. At least it’s a decent spectacle.
Most likely Beach cricket!! – But will be playing a bit of Captain toad when I’m home, Might play a bit more shovel knight too.
Been trying to get myself more enthused for dragon age, but i just can’t seem to, have put about 10 hours into it which I enjoyed, but there’s nothing pulling me back into playing it. – Also been meaning to play through The last of us: Left Behind DLC – but i think that might wait till another weekend where the weather isn’t looking as great.
Well since I can’t bring myself to finish the highly overrated Divinity Original Sin I will be continuing on with FFVII. Don’t get me wrong, Divinity is ok but it’s so drawn out and monotonous while there’s too many little annoying problems.
Have recently reinstalled Fallout 3 and modded the hell out of it, so that.
resident evil remake for me. don’t really have anything else to play right now. I do want to play a bit more far cry 4 though.
BF4 tonight.
Then more than likely Terraria with the kids over the weekend.
Have to work Saturday and Monday but I feel Sunday is my Destiny.
Have my titan up to 32 finally and will work on getting some sweet gear for my hunter and warlock now. PS4 if anyone needs help as always.
sim city- 100 hours later im still trying to build a great work by myself
just subbed to elder scrolls online again, playing that now
theme hospital – free on origin right now go get it
witcher 2 – trying to play this only passed tutorial so far… will play and finish before witcher 3
watch dogs still yet to finish, and finished the crew and want more content, endgame sux
far cry 3 almost finished and blood dragon just started
cities xxl to come
Halo 2, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (it’s no Guardian of Light but it’s ok), REmake and a little bit of Captain Toad (nearly finished).
Probably going to finish off FFXIII’s Treasure Hunter achievement, only about one million gil away, and play a ton of Sleeping Dogs.
FFXIII was a game I found strangely satisfying, enough to get the platinum anyway. Nice background music, nice scenery and nice combat. I’m also quite smitten with Lightning, Fang and Vanille 🙂
Yeah. I understand why people disliked it and their reasoning is generally fair, but ultimately I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m over just over a hundred hours deep, I’ve done some fair grinding and I’m still having fun. That’s quite the achievement.
Which version of sleeping dogs are you playing, normal or definite edition? Both are awesome, however.
Definitive. I missed it the first time around so it wasn’t too painful paying full price for it on XBOX One. Great game so far. I love the way it’s almost all brawling rather than shootouts. Although the guns and cover are handled surprisingly well for a game that doesn’t have much use for them.
Just got Star wars: rogue squadron on GOG 😛 such fun!
Just finished off the trilogy of the hitman series, Now playing through Hitman Absolution.
Finished off Alpha sapphire and onto Bravely Default. It has been sitting in the collection, each time i reach for it something with family or friends comes up. I’ve heard so many good things about the game too. Dying Light next week! I’m quite excited to get my hands on it
Trilogy? The games are Codename 47, Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money, Absolution. Which one did you skip?
The Hitman trilogy is usually made up of Silent Assassin, Contracts and Blood Money. I assume he is playing on a console, because Codename 47 was released only on PC.
Playing shadow of mordor! Ac unity! Alien Isolation! Resident Evil 6(i only play it to see how it looks at 120fps) and Grid Autosports!
I recently downloaded Hawken, so I’ll see where that takes me. I’m not quite ready to start another season of AFL Live 2 after finishing my fifth season. I downloaded a bunch of demos for my Xbox 360, so time will tell if I’ll get ownership of the couch to play them.
Of course, I will likely continue the ritual of playing Supreme Commander or Euro Truck Simulator while re-listening to a podcast.
Battlefront 2, and X-Wing: Alliance.
As usual, spending some time on the track with Forza 5. Earlier this week I also started playing KotOR2, so looking forward to gain some real progress.
I let my gold lapse to force myself to tackle some single player for a week, tomb raider on the X1 was good last night but this morning I tried Red Faction Guerilla on the 360 (another GWG) and boy why didn’t anyone tell about this before – it’s like GTA meets Bad Company 2!
Red faction guerrilla is an awesome game, blowing shit up is so much fun. Unlike the sequel.
Chaos abosultely. A new website game in its closed beta. Awesome story and gameplay. You guys can take a look. http://www.joybit.com/
Dragon age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!
Smash Bros Wii U and Wind Waker HD
Alien Isolation on PC. The bit at the reactor – OH MY GOD!
