What are you playing this weekend, SW?

I’ll be continuing my playthrough of Elden Ring! About 70 hours in. I may be able to beat the game this weekend, not sure. I just keep finding more and more shit to do in this game lol. Other than that, Kirby will be a great palette cleanser from Elden Ring lol. What about you, SW? What are you playing?

Oof, hard one.

I'd like to play more Dying Light 2, but then I'd also like to try out Ghostwire.

But I'll be out for most of the weekend :)

Really want to get on with Underrail, been distracted by real life shit.

Temped to do abit of VTOL, learn abit more.

Shadow Warrior 2 (co op) mostly

Tuesday was the first day I could say I'm back to 100% health. Bloody Hell, took me three weeks to recover, and I suspect it would have been even longer had I not made a small change within the last 8 days. Don't want to drown people in my sorrows, but let's just say I've come to believe there is a mental health component to my physical illness, and I've been spending the last 8 days shoring that up.

Anyway, now that I'm healthy again, I'm going to keep playing some more Ori and the Will of the Wisps, while deciding whether get back into God of War or Cyberpunk 2077.

I think a lot of people can relate. Mental health took a blow and there is a serious lack of good news to get a positive mindset from.

Had COVID some 4 weeks ago, and now I have a cold. I'm so done feeling sick.

Get well, man!

Nothing. I’m flying down to Florida today to sit on a beach and drink all weekend. F Michigan weather…

I’m kind of running out of steam with ER so going to take a break from that.

F1 2021 was added to game pass yesterday so going to play some of that with friends.

Far cry 6

This weekend the last 3 and the next dozen judging by the size of the map and stuff to do in it.

Damn you completionist OCD

More Elden Ring for me this weekend, may actually finish my first play through of it as well. Going to pick up Kirby and the Forgotten Land today so wouldn’t mind firing that up and checking it out as well. Would also like to get back to Guardians of the Galaxy and trying to finish that up.

Elden Ring, and probably some other stuff. I'm beginning to get pretty bored with it, so I think I might just try to finish it quickly this weekend. I'm done trying to figure quests and shit out.

For those wondering which game simply is the better videogame, Elden Ring or Breath of the Wild (since we keep comparing the two), I can now confirm that BotW is the better videogame.

I've been going back to the original MvC. Aside from that I plan to beat Cyberpunk, which I did not expect to enjoy as much as I have.

Maybe some Monster Rise but it'll be mostly Blender and Godot this weekend I suspect.

Getting a lil burnt out on Elden Ring... probably play some MH Rise and maybe check out Tunic.

Why would i play anything else than the one and only Eldingu Ringu?

Im gonna beat the new Kirby game and setup my brand new Xbox Series X.

Gonna finish Elden Ring today most likely, then start NG+

Kirby and the Forgotten Land :)

I need to finnish phychonauts 2.

Probably some Halo Inf mp or rocket league if my buds are on.

Skate 3 and Gran Turismo 7.

probably time to park elden ring for a bit. i'm about 85 hours in at a point where it's just a procession of bosses and i'm getting a bit burnt out with it. now the dust has settled and the initial euphoria and giddiness has worn off my view currently is bloodborne is still their magnum opus. elden ring hasn't quite got the legs, and the open world is a double edged sword. but i am fickle and so will withhold a verdict til i've finally beat the damn thing

Gran Turismo 7. It borders on, but is not quite amazing. I had a few 10/10 moments. Overall a 8 or 9/10 depending with what you play with, undecided.

Sprinkled with Elden Ring.

I feel like having a mediocre experience this weekend so, HFW.😂

Far and Tuniq if time permits.

I'm already at 110+ hours in Elden Ring and it doesn't seem I'm close to finishing it.

Yeah, fatigue set in for me like a week ago lol. At this point just want to stick to the legacy zones (which are mostly great) and get it done. The open world has its moments for sure, but a lot of it has just diluted the experience for me and I'm over it. Game has way more than enough great unique content, would've enjoyed it more if they trimmed the fat. (can just as easily say the same of BotW)

As for the comparison, don't know if I really feel one is better than the other. Both do what they do very well. Both have their glaring shortcomings. But Souls games have a bit of a cumulative fatigue for me, the been there and done that keeps stacking up. Had Elden Ring just come out of nowhere, probably feel way different about it. On the flip, BotW did a ton of things that were both fresh for its series and to a lesser extent, for open world games. Wasn't just a huge version of previous Zelda games. Had me more hooked from the start and kept me fully engaged to the end.

Also helps that one play session to the next could have you doing a variety of different things. Nothing against games that just do 1 or 2 things very well, that's usually what I prefer. Explore and kill things sounds fine on paper, but... it's Souls combat lol. Not bad, but a bit basic to carry such a massive game. Then the open world exploration is even more basic.

Not saying anything new here, but those intricately designed legacy zones are what make Souls play work. Far more interesting exploration. Some truly outstanding encounter design playing off those spaces and mixing enemies in interesting ways, serving to elevate the combat. A lot of that gets lost in the open world, which again has its moments, just not feeling like it's a worthwhile trade.

Probably a lot of Breath of the wild. I started a second file. It's still by far the most evolved and impressive open world game I've ever played. It's blowing me away all over again.

Although Elden Ring is great, I lost any drive to play more of it after I beat the second shardbearer. I haven't been able to invest myself in a fromsoft game since Bloodborne.

Star Wars: Episode III (XBOX)

Mega Man 2 (PC; Legacy Collection)

Halo MCC (XBOX ONE)

NSMBU (Switch)

@ConanTheStoner: I’m starting to have Elden Ring fatigue too. Luckily I think I’m nearing the end. I also just got Kirby which is the feel good game I need right now 🤣

@SolidGame_basic:

Maaaan, I still have this entire swath of the northeastern map I haven't touched. Still a ways to go here.

Also considered picking up Kirby, looks fun. Just that series tends to be a bit too easy, wish it had a difficulty curve more like Mario platformers.

I'll be taking a long break from Elden Ring and focus on 2 new games. GhostWire: Tokyo and Tiny Tina's Wonderland for the whole weekend.

@davillain: Let us know how Tina Tina's Wonderlands plays. Was curious about getting it, but I'm hesitant on dropping $70 on it--concerned that it might be nothing more than a glorified expansion.

Arkham City. I'm doing Robin's campaigns, years after completing most of the other stuff. I have never spaced a game's completion out quite like this. Still need to do Nightwing after this. Maybe I'll wait another couple of years before I tackle that. I dunno. I never played the story again after NG+.

If the gods smile on me and I actually get some solid gaming time, maybe I will finish or come close to finishing dishonored 2. It's been a long week

Probably DL2 and Battlefield 2042. Also some Halo Infinite multiplayer for a few games.

The Subterranean Shunning Grounds in Elden Ring sucks ass lol

when you gonna finish P4G?

I'm checking out Sunset Overdrive at long last.

Then resuming Halo Reach on coop.

@SolidGame_basic: ugh, who knows. Hopefully soon, but I got distracted. I'm having a hard time staying committed to games that long now since I have such little gaming time

REALLY DUDE???

Elden Ring (PS5)

GT7 (PS5)

PvZ GW2 Garden Ops Mode with my wife (XSX)

Weirdly still playing wwe 2k22 it's a good wrestling game not played this much since 2k19.

Those playing Tiny Tina, i have no idea how your ears are able to handle her cringy voice and dialogue. Its as bad as it gets in a video game omfg.,

Kirby & the Forgotten Land... and it's awesome! Man I love these types of 3D Nintendo games, they just make me happy.

Yup, if both Zelda and FromSoftware should continue open world, definitely hope they chill with the fluff.

Yeah, I knew it was just gonna be a big Dark Souls and was fine with that, but fatigue hit me, and faster than with BotW. Actually managed to play BotW twice, as opposed to ER which I haven't finished yet, but kinda want to be over. I've really enjoyed it though.

Yeah, the combat isn't amazing. It does the job and is fun, but only goes so far. BotW's combat is even more basic, but you have the option to be experimental, using physics and whatnot. Movesets for different weapons and stuff would be nice to have improved though.

Must say, after playing BotW, I was way more excited for another Zelda than I am excited for a new Souls game after ER.. They definitely need to spice it up if they make more Souls games..

xD I also got Kirby. Gonna be a nice to play something completely different from ER.

Decided to try out Elden Ring and, err... I'm not getting on well with it at all. It just seems really, really hard. Only played for about 90 minutes so far and died at least 10 times!

• Don't understand the story
• Don't understand how to stay alive for more than 10 minutes
• Not sure what I'm doing

Seriously going to have to watch/read some tips because I'm pretty clueless here!

Decided to ignore Elden Ring this weekend and finally start a playthrough of Super Mario Sunshine on the Switch. I played for 6 hours straight today. Loving this game! Camera is crap though.

Babylon’s Fall already discounted to $40. May end being a Ps Plus / Game Pass game very soon

A 360 game released in 2022 by mistake.
