This week sure went quickly. What are you playing this weekend?
I’m not too sure. I used to know the answers to these questions but now I just take it as it comes. My guess is Bloodborne. I’m close to finishing it and the truth is I’m really hyped for NG+.
But on the flip-side, I’ve also been playing a lot of OlliOlli 2 and I’m dead keen on Titan Souls. I really want to play that one on the PS Vita since I haven’t really played that console since Grim Fandango.
So after a slow start to 2015, it’s really picking up and I have to say, it’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed playing games so much. And The Witcher 3 is just around the corner. Man, this could end up being a very good year indeed.

GTA V.
Yup me too, as I finally got it working last night after several hours troubleshooting.
Some of this ^, some MKX… and some X-wing games tonight, try out my new scum and villiany builds 😀
Mortal Kombat X.
Also some D&D, currently knocked out and getting dragged by Orcs.
During this time I’m also going to finally start uploading my Let’s Play I did. Got my own shtick and everything.
I’ll be playing Bloodborne, but I have been making little progress… So, it could be the last time.
Breaking my “finish one game before starting another” rule. I’ve still put ~ 20 hours in, so I don’t feel so bad stopping.
Otherwise, not too sure. Maybe a JRPG.
Any part in particular that you are stuck on?
Now, it’s important to remember before I answer this question that a) I am atrocious at video games, and b) that this is my first ‘Souls’ game.
Okay, the answer is: The 2nd boss. 😀
I have no doubt it’d only take me another couple of attempts, it’s just I need more blood vials, and I couldn’t be bothered collecting them at the time, so I got cranky and stopped.
I could always look at a walkthrough as well.
Anyway, I’ll probably keep slowly progressing.
Which second boss?
Now I’m confused.
You can encounter the C Beast and Father G in any order.
Less confused!
Or even completely skip the beast.
It’s cool that you’re making the attempt. When I first started Demon’s Souls (my only other Souls game so far) it took me a lot of tries to get past the first proper boss. I take it you are stuck on Father G. If you’ve got some insight and are playing online, might I suggest summoning help? It makes it a lot easier.
Yes, it is Father G.
I’m only playing offline, as no PS+, thanks for the suggestion though.
If I go back with a clear head, and an in the right mood, I should keep progressing, even if it takes a long time.
For me I found the easiest way to defeat him is to make sure you parry his attack by shooting him @ the right moment, then get close and press R1 to do massive damage. Also make sure you only use the music box 3 times in a fight as to not aggravate him too much.
Thanks!
I’ll keep that in mind. Wish me luck!
I’d advise you to stick with it, it’s an amazing game and I feel it really picks up towards the end.
mortal kombat and back on nba2k15
GTAV and Diablo 3.
Hopefully next weekend I’ll be playing on my new gaming PC! Sooooo many Steam games…
Nice,
What are you getting?
Gotta be honest, I’m not entirely sure. I’m leaving the details up to someone who actually knows about that stuff. I used to know… back in the late 90s haha.
It won’t be super top end, though. Doh haha.
MKX MKX MKX
Would love to play online, but far far far far far too many Scorpion scrubs repeating the same moves (who really hate it when you do it back to them) – if anyone wants to play MKX online and DOESNT WANT TO USE SCORPION – because you know there are 24 other characters in the game – send me a PS4 friend request
So it’s like any other fighting game eh?
Just use a heavy beatdown character like Jacquie.
This makes me sad because I’ve been an MK fan since the original game and Scorpion has always been my favourite.
Same! Though this has brought back fond nostalgia memories. Playing MK2 at the local arcade every day in the school holidays I got to know some of the regulars. One guy would challenge me to a match, I’d pick Scorpion and win every time. Just before school went back, he wanted a win so asked me to choose someone else. I picked Shang Tsung and for most of round 1, I morphed to Scorpion. He had a bit of a cry so second round I didn’t, but finished with his Kintaro fatality. He’d never seen it before and was blown away.
Good times, and not one of us made death threats, racial slurs or teabagged each other. What has the world come to.
Ive just got Dark souls 2 sotfs. So some of that & maybe a bit of Breaking point.
Probably Mortal Kombat X, Zen Pinball 2, DriveClub and more Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare.
Pokemon Rumble World
4038-6136-9136
Add me, pretty please
No.
D:
Probably some Borderlands: TPS with friends for a bit. Then outside of that DMC: Definitive Edition and Suikoden.
MK X for sure 🙂 hopefully not giving myself blisters on my thumbs again lol
Probably a bit of Ryse too, as I’ve finally got around to playing that
Still Bloodborne.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving (us a spanking).
*sigh* Destiny. Going to start actively hunting for VoG groups to start my hunt for a Fatebringer.
Also will get some Rocksmith in – Thin Lizzy this week looks pretty good. Maybe some GTAV, too.
Mortal Kombat X
Borrowed DA:I so that.
And also a Star Wars marathon will have to be squeezed in there somewhere now.
I like the way you think!
Originals only 😉
Nah, watch the Machete version.
Nah, watch the Despecialised Editions.
I hadn’t heard of this one, just did that thing were you search and stuff. For those too lazy:
http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/
I like it, I’ll go Machete when my kids watch it.
Two words:
MOOOORTAAAL KOOOMBAAAT!!!!!
Dying Light – Late starter on this one. Love it. I’m 69% through the story and last night was the first time II had the balls to run around after sun down. Thats some scary business in the dark.
Spent a good 3 hours last night installing GTA V from seven discs. It marked the most time I’ve spent with a CD drive since the 90’s.
Hopefully the 5gb download has gone well today and I’ll be playing tonight.
Replaying silent hill shattered memories. It’s been a long while, and I rember it having fantastic torch effects, controls, speaker usage, and character animation.
I’m also two levels from 80 in guild wars 2 for the first time, despite owning the game since the beta. Not sure why it’s taken so long, it’s by far my favourite modem mmo…
I’m tossing up between migrating my current setup over to a new hard drive or just doing a fresh install on the new hard drive, so either way I’m going to be stuck on consoles most of the weekend.
I think I’ve finally broken the back of Resident Evil. I decided to go in blind on Normal without saving so this first run of Jill’s campaign has taken me quite a while. Luckily I seem to have an easier time with the later portions of the game (except those stupid bug men). Wednesday night I managed to get up to the Tyrant fight on the helipad with 2 minutes remaining on the self destruct timer. For some reason when Tyrant hit me I didn’t think to use a healing item so when he got in a second sucker punch I died. Right there at the finish line. On the plus side I know roughly how useless the Grenade Launcher is on him, so I’ll use that ammo earlier on and save the Magnum rounds for Tyrant.
Damnit. I paused to make lunch and ended up getting a time of 5:07. If I had of had two minutes noodles instead I would have got my five hour run out of the way. Oh well, at least I can save now.
Away for the weekend, but when I’m back, I’ll dive back into GTA V! Until then, I’ll be enjoying the Katoomba views!
Im going to attempt to play GTA V online again. I have never seen online so atrocious before. It matchmakes you with people from the opposite side of the earth, people get dropped from missions all the time and so it instantly fails you. It kicks you if you go afk even if you are in an online “Solo” session.
Often times when you start a mission with 4 people at least one of them will drop out on the loading screen due to a bug. If you start a mission with a party of a few friends and then the mission fails because someone got the loading screen bug and dropped out then instead of kicking you back to be in a party session like you were before you started the mission it splits you all up and dumps you into random online sessions.
Singleplayer seems to work fine though.
Star Wars Battlefront 2! Obviously.
Heroes of the Storm
I Love Pasta on my phone as I finish up the last half of “Daredevil”. Aaand if theres time, some bloodborne..
GTA 5, because this is the 21st century and roman numerals are outdated.
Probably continue smashing GW2 trying to get up to speed in anticipation of Heart of Thorns. Downtime will likely be filled with much MKX on PS4 and Paper Mario on 3DS.
I just picked this up recently as it was on sale. So far quite impressed. Haven’t played an MMO in years.
Still looking for a guild too.
I’ve played a heap of MMOs, and it’s one of the only ones that’s really tried to do it’s own thing instead of emulating WoW and actually succeeded.
Yeah I’m getting that feeling. Despite being in a fantasy setting, there are significant differences in how the game tells stories and rewards players. The combat mechanics are also quite interesting.
Although, I had to go with the engineer first up… too many new concepts!
Yeah it can be pretty daunting, especially once you start trying to figure out combos/finishers, etc. Stick with it though. A lot of fun, and you can play any way you want, and it’s fun regardless how you decide to play.
No way! I only got my DS at the end of 2013, had no idea there was Paper Mario on it! You’ve made my day good sir.
Yeah, only a couple of hours in, but it’s a lot of fun!
Bloodborne. Always Bloodborne.
EDIT: Oh, and some Bravely Default, Project Diva F 2nd and IRL Pathfinder game tomorrow 🙂
Bloodborne solo, Helldivers with wife and friends
MKX!
Hopefully I will finally complete my Bloodborne platinum (only one more damn trophy) then working on Xenoblade Chronicles on the 3DS.
Bloodborne and Mortal Kombat.
Because I bought in…World of Warships. CBT access if you buy any of the 3 premium ships via the Wargaming premium shop.
Probably a mixture of MKX, Borderlands: THC and Lego: Marvel – with the main focus being on MKX as I’ve only spent 30 minutes with it so far.
I just started the Last Of Us multiplayer and I’m hooked! So that’s what I’ll be doing most of the weekend. Anyone wants to join they’re welcome.
TLOU has great multiplayer, I was hooked on that for a couple months. Managed to finish both the Fireflies and the Hunters campaigns.
I don’t really understand the meta-game of the multiplayer? Can you explain it?
PILLARS
just finished that earlier this week, i’m off to play the quite similar (tho with co-op!) divinity original sin 🙂
MCM meet Saturday, so won’t have much time this weekend but I hope to get some Bloodborne, MKX and Saints Row IV in on Sunday 😀
GTAV on PC, and maybe some Bloodborne.
Downloading GTAV, but will be away this weekend so won’t be able to get a chance to get in. That’s if it finishes downloading before the end of the weekend!
MKX and FIFA 15.
Are you kidding me? This week was glacial. I’ll be playing Hearthstone, and probably picking up WoW again before 6.2 drops. Got a mate coming over to play some netrunner too, which’ll be fun, and hopefully mario party arrives today so I can bang that in.
Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
I finally have a free weekend, will finally finish Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Not sure what to move onto: Dark Souls 2, Far Cry 4 or Shadow of Mordor
Diablo III Season 3 stuff on PC, Toukiden Kiwami on PS4/Vita and the new Mii Plaza games on 3DS 😉
Life is Strange! I finally caved and bought it…
Ori and the Blind Forest – and maybe some ‘yellow car game’ as my 3 yo son would call it…..Forza Horizon 2 if we can get a few hours of game time in 🙂
Ori & The Blind Forest!
I’m still plugging aware at DA:I. Such a great game…..
Me too. 90 something hours into my first playthrough, onto wicked hearts and wicked minds quest. I think I may have overpowered myself. Great game though.
Nice work.
I’m 120 hrs in and a level level 22 warrior tank. I just took down my 6th High Dragon – yay.
In terms of my progress, I haven’t even been to The Western Approach and I still need to go and meet ol’ mate Hawke near Crestwood for the Here Lies the Abyss quest!DA is amazing I finished it after 130h
Dragon Age. Finally bit the bullet and completed the Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts mission. I’d procrastinated for ages, doing every side mission and Inner Circle quest that I could.
Hated it, but feel invigorated now that I’m past it
Exactly this for me to!!!
Mortal Kombat X! Turns out I had a faulty disc, thought I was losing my mind for a while there. I’ll probably get a bit of Bloodborne and Monster Hunter 4 in too.
Destiny. Maybe Watch_Dogs.
I
ll be playing GTA V pc, H1Z1 and rust. If I have more time, I
ll play UFC in Xbox-one as well.Gunvolt!
Im gonna go with GTA V (Ps4), Some COD AW, A bit of Bloodborne and just started the very linear pretty looking The Order: 1886! 🙂
Finally picked up my copy of MKX, going to smash some hours before Monday, loving that two day work week coming up, plenty of time to inflict more pain.
GTA V – Heist number #4 down! (Series-A Funding). Hopefully I have enough mates on tomorrow night to get the setups done for the final heist… so keen to rob a decent sized bank!$%*!^(*!
XCOM: Enemy Within.
