I’m still trudging through Dark Souls III (and loving every second of it) what are you playing this weekend?
It’s starting to worry me how long it takes me to play video games. It’s just extremely difficult for me to find the time to do anything that isn’t working, looking after kids and sleeping. I think I need to eke out a little more time in my schedule for video games, but that’s life I guess.
I’m hoping I’ll at least get close to the end of this damn amazing video game before Uncharted 4 comes out!

got my platinum in Stikbold during the week, so its a rush to finish Uncharted 3 Remastered before no. 4 comes out soon.
Figuring out where to go next in Dark Souls III mostly. I’ve sent two children back to the naughty chair but haven’t figured out where the next path is yet. I may also check out the new Ratchet and Clank, and I’m still in the process of finishing up Bravely Second.
If you are where I think, after down, go up.
The Division and a Baldurs Gate replay – then to the footy!!
Rocket League & Sunset Overdrive.
That’s like an overdose of fun!
And those are the exact games I am playing too. Why didn’t I buy Sunset Ovrdrive earlier?
I finished sunset a couple months ago after it sitting there for months with my bundle, it’s up there for pure fun factor, it’s just constant movement no time to stop and think about its few faults imo
Because, if you’re like me, you waited and got it for (basically) free?
Chronovolt on Vita (actually not a bad little game)
Trails in the Sky SC on Vita (about half-way through or so and loving it to bits – Olivier is in fine form)
Assassin’s Creed Rogue (PS3) mopping up the collectibles before finishing the story. It’s surprisingly OK.
Broken Age (PS4) just over half-way through and it seems pretty good if not spectacular.
I am loving Trails of Cold Steel on PS3. Doing a second play-through now for the Platinum.
It’s a damn shame the other Trails games never made it to PS3/PS4. I would have loved to play them.
The division whoop whoop and also quantum break now that I have a week off
HOT TIP! if you log into the Division this weekend, they are giving everyone 150 phoenix credits just for logging in, to apologise for the lack of dailies before the patch dropped. If that’s how they apologise, I should be freaking rolling in Phoenix credits in the near future!
Also I’m 3 hours into Heavy rain, finally starting to get into the story, still utterly hating the boring real life tasks I seem to be wasting soooo much time doing, and the fixed camera makes it feel really derpy, but plough on I must!
I’ve also kicked Skyrim in the guts again with all dem mods so probably some more of that
I can’t remember that there were so many real life tasks 3 hours into Heavy Rain? I thought it was in the first few levels.
BTW I’m probably on the 20th Level in Beyond Two Souls. It’s a good game but the only thing I don’t like about it is the jumping in the timeline.
B:TS is more action oriented compared to HR and I’ll give my final verdict once I’ve finished B:TS.
Once I finish it I’ll probably try and get Fahrenheit and Omikron. I’m impressed with these 2 games from Quantic Dream
Cooked any eggs yet?
Nah but i have done lots of fun things like make sure my son do his homework, heat him up some pizza, make sure he doesn’t watch too much tv, get him to clean his teeth before bed and read him a story. i’ve made plenty of coffees, played with the kids in the back yard, changed a baby’s nappy and fed it, got medicine from a cupboard, showered and got changed….the list just goes on. I feel like a very large portion of the first 3 hours has been just doing shit tasks that could of all been done with short cut scenes. Just sort of feels like it takes so long to actually progress the story, but it’s just starting to speed up and move along now so hopefully the boring stuff is done
Ha ha, it does a fair bit, but there’s a reason David Cage calls it interactive drama 😉
Wow that’s a lot of “chores” lol. I don’t recall doing so many when I played it.
However do remember the choices you make so somewhat affect the story of the game.
I’ve seen videos on of scenes I’ve never played and I remember the review on Good Game Bajo and Hex had different scenarios too.
Maybe you chose levels that had a lot of daily life chores 😛
Maybe I have, maybe they saw ‘Sucker’ written all over me!
I can honestly say, if it wasn’t for the sheer amount of people that has said it’s a brilliant game, I would almost certainly have thrown it in the ‘I’m done with this shit’ pile alongside other classics like Assassins creed 3 and Medal of Honour warfighter which also got about 3 hours of play time before being unceremoniously thrown in the draw, disk out of container and all.
Trying out an Assassin build in DS3. Just got the Crystal Sage’s Rapier.
Gunna max intelligence, which scales with CS Rapier, see if the multi-class fighter/sorcerer build works!
Having a great time.
I’ve done something similar but a strength sorcerer build, using the Dark Sword infused as Raw… Pretty fun so far as I don’t really rate sorcery in DS3 that much
Yeah the build for me just happened on it’s own. I started out wanting to use greater magic weapon with a raw weapon, and it’s morphed into something totally unexpected.
I really love it when a non pencil-and-paper RPG can deliver that …
Over the weekend I dropped the strength/sorc build and went for a similar strength/pyro build. I’ve gotta say pyro is a LOT stronger than sorcery.
heh funny, did same! But I ended up going the dex/pyro build – just awesome 🙂
Probably Dota, Black Ops 3 and world of tanks
then maybe some HOMM 3 and MMH 7. The other way round really because when I give up on 7 then I’ll have to go back to 3 to soothe my brain.
Maybe some Pillars and finally some Metro to stress my new graphics card and finally see that amazing game at decent settings
Aww yeah Dota!
Bashing some heads in with my Knight in DS3. I still have a loooooong way to go.
Ima do a barrel roll!
Also this:

Just bought Firewatch so might take a look at that.
Heading back into GTA V Online for a quick bash with friends. Probs some Division as well as there is some freebies on offer if you log in this weekend.
Dark Souls III but if I finish it or feel like a break I started a new playthrough of Ocarina of Time (never actually finished it) so I might do that for as long as my eyes can handle it.
I’m thinking Dark Souls III tonight, gym tomorrow morning, pick up a copy of Star Fox on the way home and then smash that until Monday morning.
Mortal Kombat XL and The Secret World.
DARK SOULS 3
I’ll be switching between being a Sunbro and Mound maker. Helping people beat The nameless king and Aldritch. Then I’ll hunt people in the grand archives like a complete bastard. I want covenant spells 😉
Stardew Valley – Definitely will
Hopeful on the following (If I can pull myself away from Stardew):
The Division
The Samaritan Paradox
Shardlight
Enter the Gungeon
Bunker Punks
… Or you’ll spend all weekend just playing Stardew Valley. Like me. Because that game is amazing.
Ok so I spent most of Monday playing Stardew Valley.
I did play The Division (had to get the free 150 phoenix credits)
And a lot of cleaning for the council clean up
But yes, so much stardew
Spring of Year 3 😀
Beyond: Two Souls and trying to get 100% in Super Mario 3D Land.
Will play a bit of Mario Kart 8 as the little one wants me to open all the compatible Amiibos for it.
If I have spare time will play Quake 4 and Limbo.
So many pile of shame games……
Limbo is a fantastical game
…and I heard it’s a short game (3hrs) so I could probably finish it in a few sittings 😀
Pokken Tournament with the kids. Perhaps ‘Barrel Roll: The Game’. Perhaps Bloodborne. Perhaps Tomb Raider. Perhaps Diablo 3.
Well tomorrow I’m hiring a car to go pick up some timber to make a frame for a painting I got, pick up a fire pit and a couple of benches for the fire pit. Sunday is gonna be a mix of finishing off a knitting project so I can turn it into some wall art and helping the housemate clear out the owners stuff from the garage. Then monday is probably gonna be some dark souls 3 while I continue to beat my head against the high wall of lothric and looking up knitting patterns because I’m what the kids call relatable.
only thing i read, was a fire pit for burning stuff. like some benches, and knitting. *flames*
well you’re not wrong
Plants Vs Zombies GW 2. picked it up last night for a bit of fun with the kids, also i believe mast 4 has requested i play Mario Party 10 so that will be in the fold no doubt.
Ratshit & Clonk. Parents just don’t understand.
Gemcraft, Factorio and Devil Daggers are on the agenda for this weekend.
I’ll be at the Casino tonight watching the Crows smash those geriatric Hawks, and then making several hundred dollars on the tables. After that, I have 3 days of Rocket League, Fifa, MGSV (maybe), Project X Zone 2, and whatever the hell else I wanna play.
I hope your right, I’m looking forward to their fall from grace so hard!
Bought Quantum Break. Loving it. Partway through, decided to install my free copy of Alan Wake. Remembered how much I love THAT. Am now running a two horse race between the two.
Oh, Sam Lake. I wanna lick your brain, these games are so goddamn tasty 😛
Destiny and Dark Souls 3. Challenge of Elders is pretty darn fun as a voidwalker – catapult + energy-vampire build + Nothing Manacles means instantly-recharged tracking scatter-grenades on any ability kill, grenade kills regen health, melee kills recharge your nova bomb – got half the 90k score I need for the cumulative scorecard in one run last night. Haven’t played Voidwalker in over a year, but this is precisely how I was hoping it would play – pure, untempered chaos.
I’d kill to play Dark Souls 3 but with my PS4 with Sony Aus for repairs I guess I’m stuck on my PC/PS3 combo.
iRacing Formula Renault 2.0 for weekly participation credit.
Stardew Valley because farms are fun and I’ve sunk 62 hours into the game so far and I’m not even at year 3 yet.
Dark Souls, because I’ve owned it for 3 years now and never once finished it and I want to at least try to get through the game once. Thinking it’s going to kick my butt constantly but should be fun!
Ouch. What happened to your PS4?
It’s the stupid eject disc error they’re well aware of but have yet to actually find a fix for. It’s in warranty luckily enough (another 3 months and it wouldn’t have been)
Ratchet & Clank. Zony help us!
Black Ops 3 and Dark Souls 3.
I keep trying to play other games – but Black Ops 3 has gotten me back into the Call of Duty series.
Rocket League, Dark Souls 3, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and Starfox 64/Lylat Wars.
Ah, RCT! I’ve probably finished the game around three times, but every time I switch computers I have to start again.
Shadow Warrior from the recent Humble Bundle, and hopefully finally get the platinum for NFS: Most Wanted on PS3.
I’ll be completing Dark Souls 3 over the weekend. I’m on NG++ and only have a few rings to go before I’m 100%.
Have been playing through Dark Souls 3, Im the furthest I’ve gotten in any souls game (I beat the tutorial boss in Dark Souls and never played DS2) playing as a mercenary and no clue what stats or anything to do just flying by the seat of my pants on the character.
im currently stuck on the goddamn Great Tree, I know how to kill it I just cant kill itThat boss isn’t compulsory so move on and do other things 🙂 Come back later and mess his junk up
Really?! Didnt know that I thought he was…hmm I’ll mess his junk up later then
He’s optional but if you don’t beat him
you can’t trade boss souls for boss weapons.Dungeons and Dragons, because real gamers roll dice. Then probably Mad Max.
I’m downloading Valkyria Chronicles because I got it in a recent ‘umble Bundle and it looks weird and interesting. Anyone else played this? Is it worth getting into? (I mean, in your opinion obviously).
Do you like manga? Do you like 3rd person shooters? Do you like Strategy RPGs?
If you answered “yes” to all 3 then welcome to 1 of the greatest games of the last 10 years.
If you only answered “yes” to 1 or 2 of these questions then your mileage will vary
Thanks for that! I answered “yes” to two of them and while I don’t actually read or watch manga and anime, I don’t have anything against it.
I want to play something a bit different from the usual so I’m giving it a go.
I downloaded Zombi on the PS4, so I’ll see if that keeps my interest for longer than 5 minutes, otherwise it’ll be back to Rocket League.
You haven’t beaten Dark Souls 3 yet? I beat it two days ago, and I didn’t get the game early 😛
Speaking of, I found Dark Souls 3 to be an amazing game. Really made up for Dark Souls 2. But, it’s still not as amazing as Dark Souls 1.
One major problem I had was with the multiplayer, which they still haven’t fixed since DS1. Invading was pretty balanced then (not counting the terrible lag). An invader would have extra health and damage, but was incapable of healing with Estus. In Dark Souls 2, either side could use Estus and those health stones as much as they want. This killed any sense of invading since it was a battle of attrition against health items. Nobody wanted to waste 200 health items to finally kill someone, at which point they would need to replace all their items. This put high reliance on ‘honour’ duels where neither side would heal. Once somebody did, the other would just quit out of the game.
For Dark Souls 3 you get a limited number of Estus, which is better than DS2, but still turns it into a fight against healing. On top of that, I regularly found myself in worlds where the host would just sit right by his bonfire (to take away the risk of getting his souls back) while backed up by two summoned phantoms holding up their shields. If I wasn’t just straight up ganked, I maybe could kill one phantom. Not only am I left with no healing for two more players, but the host will then just summon up another phantom. This killed any desire to invade worlds.
What sucks is that there was already a balanced system for invaders via the Blue Sentinels. If you equip the Way of Blue covenant and get invaded, a Blue Sentinel may be summoned who can only kill the Red Phantom.
There were other stuff that kinda bugged me about the game. I dislike how they were trying to make the game more fast paced. This results in a lot of rolling. I really wish they pushed up the time for a roll to complete. This also adds to a problem with invading players where everybody just rolls all the time.
Bosses always do max damage attacks. Prior you would think about how many more hits you could take before needing to heal, but now you pretty much have to heal after every strike. A lot of attacks vary from 40% to 80%, so you pretty much have to sit at top health all the time.
I’m also bummed out that you can’t upgrade armour because by the end of the game I had like, 20 pieces of each material.
Anyways, for the weekend I might play the original Destiny that I got from target for 15 bucks. I was originally turned off by how boring it was. Might be different now.
Also I have a Warmachine tournament on Sunday.
Finally got my TV back. Didn’t feel like continuing fallout so I downloaded I am alive but I really can’t get into it. Might try God of War Ascension…
NFI to be honest, will probably lead some squads in Planetside 2 if i’m feeling up for it.
Otherwise might pick up subnautica or gta5 if i can find a cheap copy.
Dark souls 3 for like 24 hrs straight when I finish work today. Or that’s the plan anyways!
I’ve enjoyed my time with Stories: Path of Destinies, am planning on unlocking every story there. Apart from that though…
That Rocket League Basketball trailer has me so fricken pumped that I want to get in there and learn to fly properly. My god that looks fun.
… But, let’s be honest. I’m going to put So many more hours into Stardew Valley. That game makes me happy. 🙂
Shit does anyone know if I jump into someone’s game who hasn’t beaten the deacons, can the game get invaded by kirk and give me a chance to get armour of thorns??? I missed out god damn iitttt.
And no its not for trolling I just love the armour +!
