Same games I play every weekend. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
And Mario Maker. Oh, and I’ll probably get started on SOMA as well.
Last weekend was fun. On Sunday I went to IKEA all morning and spent the rest of the day building THREE IKEA BEDS. Where is my parade? Seriously.
But on the Saturday I played Metal Gear Solid V. A lot. This game is almost obnoxiously good, but it’s also obnoxiously long. Like too long.
But so good.
But it’s soooo long.
And so good.
Dammit.
What are you playing this weekend?

AFL prelims and Destiny, with a splash of spring carnival thrown in.
Oh, SOMA looks excellent. Can’t wait to play it, but I think I’m on a gaming break until The Nathan Drake Collection next month. 🙂
Playing FIFA 16. Will be playing it for ages, I think.
Housework Simulator 2015. I’ve been neglecting my dailies and as a result I’m getting a reduced bonus from resting each evening, plus my co-op partner is becoming irritated at how far behind I am.
After that, maybe some Destiny. I still have so much to do in The Taken King and I haven’t even really made any progress on my alt characters yet.
SOMA and Super Mario Maker. Hit me with your level codes guys! Unless they’re roller coasters. I’m not interested in them.
Might run a few rifts in Diablo 3 too.
A lot of the Disgaea 5 demo and trying to Platinum Disgaea D2 before 5 is released. Outside of that will probably be small smackerels of Etrian Mystery Dungeon and Operation Abyss.
The Taken King. I’m really enjoying it and I hope they keep going in this current direction for a while.
Armello (PS4) (seriously, check it out, it’s an awesome boardgame/card game/tactical RPG)
Sleeping Dogs (PS4)
Miku Project Mirai DX (3DS)
Child of Light (Vita)
MGS4 (PS3) – I’m probably kidding myself a bit here.
I got my second copy of MGSV in the mail today (won it – not sure what I’ll do with it yet)
I put MGS aside and played Batman AK for a while – that was fun and now I’m back onto Dark Souls II having beaten Jabba the Hutt (he was easy) and now getting ganked by Manikins in Earthen Peak

So… Dota 2 just got a balance patch. I guess I should check it out.
RIP techies.
Pretty glad ancients necro isnt a thing anymore, it was an awful strat
Mines not going off when they’re destroyed is huge. Mines giving a bounty as well? Man, supporting against Techies isn’t going to be an hour of pulling teeth. Sure, he’s going to suck to push against but at least I can play some Dota before we get to that point.
And Lesh no longer gets to autopilot through the laning phase by spamming lightning.
I like these changes. I like them a lot.
I agree that something needed to be done about techies, but I think they went too far. The mines not going off is fine – the gold bounty is a bit much.
What do you think about the Lifestealer change? Being able to mind control an ancient at level 6 is massive.
10g per mine made sense with the old land mines. Don’t forget that sentries cost 200g and have to be bought in pairs, unlike the 75g observer wards. 200g is a lot of gold to spend, especially when you can whiff. Now that mines can be placed twice as often (for half damage), 10g does seem like a lot.
Not sure on a lot of the buffs. Lifestealer is interesting but unless that phase boot buff turns out to be bigger than it looks, I don’t see him being more useful.
Phantom Assassin’s dagger changes could be nuts though. Cleave, mjolnir, bash all proccing off of a spammable nuke? Yeah, that’s going to push them into the meta. Spectre got a lot out of the patch too.
Towerfall Ascension, Shadow of Mordor, and MGS V.
Well I bought Ark earlier in the week and then last night played it with my brother from 8pm till 1am. So I can see me playing this.
And some Destiny, and some MGSV and Mario Maker.
Might get the 5 yr old making mario levels.
MGSV a bit… but to be honest I’m starting to get frustrated with it a little.
Batman AK a lot. Enjoying this more than MGSV
Mario Maker too. The kids are crazy in love with this.
Year Walk on Wii U. Cause I never finished the iOS version.
Wild Hunt! Slicing and dicing Bandits and Nekkers is just too much fun.
I’m going to finish SC2VN, play some more One Piece Dynasty Warriors SORYAAAAAAAAAA Cross-up Tekken Air Juggle 3 and probably a chunk of CS:GO as well.
I really want a steak for dinner tonight.
I’ll be playing “Keep my 23 month old son busy on the flight from Sydney to Beijing”.
Fun times! I wish you luck! 😀
Ooo, I remember that game. I played the ‘daughter’ version though. She wasn’t too bad. They tend to sleep fairly well at that age. Now, keeping a 4-year old busy on a flight from Sydney to Beijing would not be a fun time!
If you can avoid installing the turbulance DLC. It does increase the difficulty but doesn’t really add anything meaningful to the gameplay
Mad Maxx still trying to get all the challenges done before I move on with the story struggling with Rattling your Dags challenge (fill fury meter in less than 10secs) anyone have any tips?
Rainbow 6 Siege beta, some CS:GO.
I’m tossing up between purchasing MGSV or The Taken King.. Suggestions?
MGSV x 1000000
Haha too late, I went with Destiny.. Should have bought Metal gear..
oh dear…. start saving those pennies boy and correct that mistake.
I think I may finally finish Witcher 3 this weekend 😀
Done all the side quests (well, the ones that aren’t broken), completed all the scavenger hunts I found, have upgraded a bunch of mastercrafted Witcher gear (so I can see which one looks the most badass) and am about to go to the Elven homeworld.
Not long now! Seriously, I’ve been playing it for a third of the year. What a great game.
Looking forward to Arkham Knight and Phantom Pain next 🙂
I’m hoping that even though I’ll be busy looking at apartments I’ll have time to finish up MGSV. I’ve only got S Ranks on the extreme missions, and I’ve already cleared most of the objectives. If that ends up happening I might pick up Yu-Gi-Oh.
1st weekend in a while where I’m really hyped to game. Fifa 16, NBA 2K16 and the GwG Tomb Raider game all await.
+ 1 for NBA2k16 I have it pre loaded and the wait until 5pm is killing me.
Especially excited for it as I skipped the last 2K for first time in like 10 years.
Been waiting for the 2GB update to download for the past 5 hours. The wait is literally and figuratively killing me.
I’ve been playing through Half-Life: Source on hard only going on through autosaves and got kinda stuck on the second stage of Gonarch’s Lair. Gonna try and finish it a few more frustratingly bullet-spongy times before I’ll have to go back to the lambda core when I had more than 20 hp and hadn’t run out of all of my explosives.
Sounds brutal!
Good luck!
Haha, thanks. The AI of the soldiers and aliens is pretty easy to screw with when you’re in a tough situation, but Gonarch is another matter.
I hate to say it but MGSV just hasn’t grabbed me like a Metal Gear game normally does. It’s weird but it’s doesn’t feel like a Metal Gear game to me. I’m only 20% in so it has time but I just got FIFA16 so I feel like I may not spend much time playing anything else for a while.
It’s definitely a change of pace. Where MGS4 had hour long cut scenes MGSV has hours of action between events (if you don’t count the cassette tapes). Personally I can’t get enough and I’m really hoping they remake the original MSX2/NES Metal Gear using the new engine, but I can understand why some people aren’t into it.
Oh god I hadn’t even thought of the possibilities for using the same engine and mechanics with other canon entries.
PLUG IT INTO MY VEINS.
Destiny. Hopefully raiding, otherwise, trying to finish off the few quests I have left that don’t involve killing raid bosses. Likely getting slaughtered as I try to get sword kills in crucible. Likely some Rocksmith as well, given they released a Breaking Benjamin pack this week, but I’m a little annoyed the chose the 2011 version of Blow Me Away over the original. Still, gives me an excuse to play some of the drop-Db and drop-C songs I’ve been neglecting lately.
I’ve kicked off the Trespasser DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition, so I’ll be playing that. Plus, Lego Dimensions comes out on Monday which is a public holiday, so I’ll hopefully be playing that as well.
Getting back into MKX. Might get back into FF14 since I keep getting distracted and I’m nearing the end of the main quest line. Bought Shadow of Mordor, so I might start that. Might step into some backlog.
Also starting a new Iron Kingdoms campaign, so I need to prepare for that.
NBA2k16….that is all.
(MGS might be in for a rest for a while)
Destiny. Hopefully finish off the raid.
NBA 2K16!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Borderlands 2 handsome jack collection. So much content it’ll keep me going till fallout 4.
Lots of variety for me this weekend. Catching up with some friends tonight so we will be giving Exploding Kittens a first time go, as well as little Cards Against Humanity and hosting my first Fiasco game which should hopefully be fun (it will be all my doing if it isn’t).
As to the rest of it, Rocket League, Witcher 3, Fifa 16 and NHL 16 and whatever else takes my fancy.
Hope you all have a great and fun filled weekend! 🙂
PROFESSOR LAYTON IN THA HOUSE!!!
All about Destiny. Doubt I’ll do the raid for a few months until there is some sympathetic souls out there. Might venture into the Dreadnaught for some patrols and quests, but until now it is slowly but surely getting to 280 light with the strikes and crucible.
Destiny LFG. You’ll find a lot of people asking for experienced players only, but there’s still plenty of others willing to take first timers. I’d recommend being 290 first though.
Will be playing Undertale by for the third time to see if I missed anything. Graphic-wise initially look I thought the game would be really bad, but once you get wrapped up in the story, you will not want to stop. It’s surprising how polished this game is and “You can’t judge a book by its cover” really rings true with this one.
GOTY!
Probably finish off Soma.
I’ll put this in spoilers, you know the drill, if you don’t want spoilers don’t click.
You seem to have set encounters with monsters instead of being random like in Aliens: Isolation, i am normally chicken shit when it comes to horror games but this one doesn’t seem that scary to me.Diablo3. Blizzard is having double bounties this weekend. So RIP weekend

Rainbow Six Siege Beta – looking forward to getting back into this unforgiving genre, been far too long between drinks
Bit of Far Cry 4, and will probably start my first ever play-through of Mirror’s Edge. Working through my backlog before Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone in a few weeks!
I’m still making my way through Bloodborne, although I only started playing it a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been on holidays most of this week. So I’ll continue on that whenever I get the chance. I get the feeling at the rate I’m playing though it’s going to take me an extra long time – not because I keep dying, but because I only have short amounts of time to play it when my 5 year old daughter isn’t within ear or eye shot of it. Having said that, after a pretty slow start I think I’m making a reasonable rate of progress, having beat down 2 bosses and progressing a long way into the next area in the past day or two.
Gonna sink some hours into R6:S this weekend, cant wait!
That is the best header pic ever.
Hopefully will be playing the Rainbow Six Siege beta with a friend if he downloads it in time.
Nba2k16. They’ve annoyingly removed the old control schemes though and mycareer is now all preset. Im white but my family is black in the hood and my twin sister is black! My team owner is mad because i soent 100k helping my retarded friend the only problem is you no longer have any choice and the games storyline means i helped this idiot against my will and now have off court issues i didn’t choose. They should rename the mode to spike lees career because it sure as hell isn’t my chosen career
Article correction.
How much MGSV are you playing this weekend?
Me, lots!
