Happy Friday, friends! The time has come once again to ask ourselves the most important question of the week: What are you playing this weekend?
I feel like the answer this week is going to be similar to last week for many. Elden Ring has the gaming world in a vice grip, and we are but slaves to it. We are borne aloft on the wave of pure social media content the game is producing every single day. Are you kicking on? How are you progressing? Does your gut, like mine, drop into your shoes every time the map expands again? Let me know.
This weekend, I’m taking the Asus ROG Flow 13 gaming tablet/PC hybrid for a test drive. Seems like a good moment to install Destiny 2 and see how it handles it. I’m told there’s an RTX card in this thing so surely Destiny 2 won’t be a problem.
As the 2022 Formula 1 season approaches, I can hear the siren song of F1 2021 calling to me once again. I wish I knew how to quit you, you finicky-but-rewarding bastard. I feel like I’m gonna end up ticking a few more career races off this weekend. Should probably pick up a wheel at some point, shouldn’t I?
What’s Ruby playing this weekend, you ask? Friends, I have done it. I have convinced her to play Elden Ring. She is very scared and I hope you will encourage her as she takes her first steps on what will surely be a grand adventure through the character creation menus. We will let you know how she goes.
And that’s it for us! As always, thanks for hanging out with us across the week. Whatever you’re up to this weekend, be well, be kind, be good. Don’t forget to say hello in the Kotaku AU Discord, and we’ll see you back here next week to do it all again.
Gonna keep pushing forward in Elden Ring, farm some stuff in Genshin and play some Super Mario 3D and Ratchet and Clank with my boy.
Yeah Elden Ring. Couple of hours into the game, I’m still level 1 and using a club in my undies. At least I bought a shield.
May you both find success, tarnished.
Hyperdimension Neptunia U, probably with a mix of other games too.
Farming Dark Falz in PSO2 NGS since we’ve actually got a schedule for a week.
Love to see PSO2 kicking on in 2022.
Elden Ring, I am currently enthralled by it. Its the first Souls game since the first one, or maybe Bloodborne that has really gripped me. Not saying the others are bad, just none of them felt ‘original’, just more of the same. There is just something about Elden Ring that just leaves me speechless.
I thought Gran Turismo 7, it was my birthday this week and i have been dropping hints for weeks but no one got it for me.
Oh well.
Treat yourself (and happy birthday! I hope you had a great one!)
I just did, im a sucker for steelbooks so i managed to get a 25th anniversary edition.
Now i realise i suck at racing games and now know why i stopped playing Forza Motorsport 7 a while back.
Youtube has been recommending me a plethora of Castlevania: SotN speed runs that I’ve gone and been in the middle of doing another run of the game on Luck Mode.
I understand this on a spiritual level.
Dusted off Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time since launch, looks amazing on XSX and enjoying it so far, finally!
Gran Turismo 7 & Horizon FW
Working my way through 5.4 shadowbringers. Hoping to get to endwalker soon.
