Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (1st November)

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks I finished Moonscars again.
This time on my Switch 2. It plays near perfect on S2, a huge improvement over playing it on my Switch. I enjoyed it on my first playthrough but man, it ran poorly on the Switch. Not anymore. Great game.

Also finished Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.
Man, this game is an absolute blast and a hidden gem. Everybody deserves to play it, it is up there with Nintendo's offerings. Highly recommended.

Also started Crypt Custodian after my physical copy arrived. I'm loving it, amazing game.

My copies of The Good Old Days, Steamworld Heist 2 and Deaths Door Ultimate Edition arrive next week so I look forward to getting into those.

Have a great weekend everyone.

My gaming plans for the weekend are:

Fast Fusion: I've got 4 time trials left to beat in Hypersonic. I've realized that I cannot optimize my driving any further, and I'm still 5+ seconds behind so I must miss a shortcut or a jump or something. I've decided to look up some youtube tutorials this weekend and get it over with. Seeing these cars crash and fall off track is starting to really piss me off.

Ender Magnolia: just started my new main game yesterday, and just like the previous one the music is already very much inspired. Also looks really good.

Tetris Effect Connected: participating in the Adventurous ritual, hoping we get to reach the goal this weekend, unlike the last one ...

Patapon: I want to start this one later today, really curious about the concept, and love me a good rythm game ... already have the music stuck in my head after watching trailers.

Happy gaming! ✌🏻🧡🎮

Hello and good morning everybody ☀️

This week I played the usual Mario Kart 8 Deluxe even online with random players.

Then I bought on sale Cronos: The New Dawn because I enjoy third person shooters. Unfortunately I thought the game was similar to Resident Evil 4, instead it's much more tense and scared me quite much so I quitted it for the moment. I dislike proper horror games so I believe it was a bad purchase by my side: patience 🤷‍♂️

Finally Cat Quest 3 which in my opinion is sublime and I'm enjoying it a lot.

I wish you all a great weekend full of games and peace 🙂

Mostly Cyberpunk 2077. Only at the beginning of Act 2, but already level 30. I’ve been doing side content all week, now it’s time to make some progress in the story.
In Patapon 2 finished the story this morning, but surely won’t stop here.
Also ticking off some quests in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

I'll be playing 1080° Avalanche on GameCube this weekend. I really wish Nintendo would make a new installment in that series.

Nintendo :
1) The excellent Luigi’s Mansion. 👻
2) The new Katamari game introduces a lot of great locations and as far as I know, it’s the first time they’ve introduced environmental elements that help or hurt your run.
PlayStation :
1) Dispatch is a great time. For the interactive show genre, it’s not necessarily introducing anything new, but just has a really entertaining story and polished UX.

Luigi’s Mansion and Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch 2 for me. Next week though I’m playing Age of Imprisonment!

@Sambuc hopefully it’ll make it to NSO at least.

This Weekend i'll be playing
Rethawd (THAW) (PC)
Guitar Hero World Tour DE (PC)
Tower Unite (PC)
Lego Star Wars 2 (NGC)

animal crossing new horizons- I'm so excited for the new update!
destiny 2

Wooooooooooo! Luigi's Mansion on NSO! It is so good! That is not news to me, as I bought it on launch day, but having so much fun playing through again. I'm making much faster progress than when I first played it! I'd say I'm nearly halfway through now, having caught 20 out of 50 Boos.

It's wild to think about it now, but the general consensus back then was, "Ugh, Luigi? Where's my Mario game?". I am glad the reputation grew over time.

Have a fun weekend all!

Gigantamax Garbodor débuted in Pokémon Go earlier today. My first one was shiny, and I later caught a perfect one, but my luck ended there. Not much else of note, but a fun day out.

@Sambuc agree mate new one and also a new wave race too but we all know the new ninty development will never give us these 😭

Some more AAA gaming for me this weekend as I’ll be inserting the AAA batteries into my Gameboy Pocket… (tumbleweed rolls past)… on that note I’ll be trying to beat Alleyway again and no doubt failing on the later levels. Also picked up the first Super Mario Land last weekend which is quite quirky and has some fun scrolling shooter levels. Happy gaming all!

Good evening everyone I been playing little nightmares 3 such a great platformer I also got Bubsy collection so underrated in the early 90$ I love platformer games two weeks until I get my switch 2 I'm getting Pokemon z-a bundle with Mario kart world and dk bozana and I'm preorder Metroid prime 4 for December can't wait for it everyone so happy gaming everyone from Sydney Australia 💚💚🕹️🕹️🎮🎮 p.s. what can possible go wrong 🙀🙀

@Duck_Farmer which Zelda game mate?

@Yalloo Patapon is in my all-time top10. Hope, you will enjoy it!

Need for Speed Heat. I loved racing games growing up and so I decided to get back into them.

What am I not playing, I've piled up too many games!
After playing through all the Clock Tower games I decided to extend it with Haunting Ground, Rule of Rose, and NightCry, so I'll be getting to those in the coming weeks, starting with Haunting Ground tonight.
Btw here's how I rank the series
1. Clock Tower 2 (aka Clock Tower PS1) - 6.0
2. Clock Tower (SFC) - 6.0
3. Clock Tower 3 - 4.0 // Not a good game but has a lot of heart and entertainment value with the crackhead cutscenes
4. Clock Tower: Ghost Head (aka Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within) - 2.0 // ***** this game, it's unironically one of the worst things I've ever played

For Halloween night I played a cool horror game called No, I'm not a Human, where you invite a bunch of ghoulish creeps into your home and deduce which ones are monsters and which ones are moderately more normal. Pretty chill despite the concept and plenty of replay value with multiple endings, I like it.

I've got the Dragon Quest I & II remake sitting next to the PS5 waiting to be played, and Hollow Knight has been neglected for weeks lol. I'm going to have to reacclimate myself to the game while fighting endgame bosses, that should be fun. Might start up Ninja Gaiden Black too if time allows.

I’ll be helping the band/my son at the state marching championships they got invited to for getting all superior at the previous competition (proud dad moment as well as a full circle moment since I was with the same band at the same championships when I was his age). When I can find time though I’ll be playing MK Legacy Kollection on PC and my Steam Deck when traveling.

Lego Star Wars Skywalker saga on Switch 2

Two point Museum on Switch 2 - this game is amazing and very very addictive...

Link to the past on switch lite.

The next game after Lego Star Wars will be Luigi's Mansion via Game Cube Classic app.

Have a nice weekend!

I beat Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and went for new game+.
The Dominus Collection is such a wonderful Halloween treat, filled to the brim with yummeh gameplay.

This weekend on my Switch 2 i’ll finish up my playthrough of Dragon Quest III and will also start playing Dragon Quest I now that i got my physical copy a couple of days ago. I’ll also continue with my new island in Animal Crossing.

I’ll also play some Animal Crossing on 3DS and continue shaping my newly started island.

On mobile i’ll round out my Halloween celebration in Animal Crossing.

On my PS5 i’ll continue venture forth in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 and i’ll also probably will check out Eriksholm: the Stolen Dream since i received my physical copy of the game yesterday.

I don’t think i have time for more gaming than that to be honest.

I hope you all will have a great weekend with rest, relaxing and a lot of gaming.

Severed Steel, more time with the Skate Story demo, Retro Endurance 8 bit, Glyph, Vomitorium, Silver Bullet (amazing!) Slots and Daggers (pretty addicted to this one!), Jojos Bizarre Adventure (barely played this in the past, but it just went one sale and I'm liking it), fan games, 80 mods, etc.
I've just discovered Rob Braxman's (or whatever his name is) youtube channel. He's an awesome cool headed advocate for privacy and tech freedom, kind of like Louis Rossman, who I also like.
Oh and I really like Alex's video on GTA 4. Amazing to see what dedicated fans and programmers can do. I had a dream where I saw 3 new PC ports, but they announced that the public couldn't play them! Then I woke up and realized after checking online that I couldn't play them cuz they don't exist (or maybe they've made huge progress on 3, but haven't announced it yet, but somehow I dreamt about it! Lol). That reminds me I have been playing Duke Nukem zero hour since that recomp dropped. It looks pretty good if you use a 120hz display to get 60fps(I haven't yet tried a 240hz screen to see it running at 120fps). A nice alpha release that I'm happy to get to try out!

@JohnnyMind Wow. What's your other job? xD

I'm gonna keep punishing myself with Silksong

Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. I wasn’t able to finish Luigi’s Mansion 3 before Halloween ended, but I’ll carry on with that. Hope everyone had a good ween.

I have a long weekend, but my wife and I have LEGO date weekend. She is building the Hocus Pocus house and I finished building the Mario and Yoshi set, which is awesome! I plan on displaying it right next to my Switch 2 in my study.

But I'm also going to play some games! Here's what I'm currently playing:

• Super Mario Galaxy 83/121 stars
• Tears of the Kingdom 41% completion
• Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster step 7/17 of my walk through
• The Binding of Isaac Repentance: working on getting all the Lost marks. Got the Beast in a very lucky run. Got 13/17 marks so far
• Pikmin 1 17/30 parts

Happy gaming everyone!

Switch 2: Yooka Replaylee, 20 minutes Till Dawn
PS5: Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO
PC: Super Fantasy Kingdom, Necesse

I am doing classic things in Dragon Quest I+II HD-2D Remake . Slaying a dragon, saving a princess and stuff like that.

Happy gaming everyone!

Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll continue playing:

• Ghost of Yõtei on my PS5. Such a beautiful game and very fun to explore, just like Tsushima was;
• Donkey Kong Banaza and Ni no Kuni 2 on my Switch 2. The first is a masterclass of a platformer game and just so much fun breaking everything in your path. And the second one looks fantastic on Switch 2 in smooth 60 fps;
• Ghostwire Tokyo and SilkSong on my Series X/PC. Started the first one a couple of days ago and it is pretty interesting. Really like the style of the game. As for Silksong, I´m in Chapter 3, trying to find my way into new areas of the game and facing brand new Bosses. This game is absolutely amazing.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

Let's see... 40+ hours in on Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 and still going strong. The number of side missions I've unlocked and haven't completed yet is probably close to 50, so this weekend might be a good time to chip away at those.

I finished Outer Worlds on the ROG Ally X during the week, and now I'm playing Mafia - Definitive Edition. A lot of PC games are gifted between Amazon Prime and Epic Games Store, and this was one of them (along with 2 and 3).

I started Tormented Souls a couple of days ago and I can't stop playing it, I love the RE + Alone the Dark vibes it sends.
Apart from that, I'm also double dipping in CP2077, since I took advantage of the recent sale to get it for Switch 2 too.
Happy gaming everyone!

Trying to play Outer Worlds 2, but I hate it.

I liked the first one, but this one seems to have nothing going for it. It’s not as funny as the first, the story hasn’t gripped me, the characters are awful and the worlds are just bland.

Probably going to sell it and buy Mortal Kombat instead.

On Switch 2 i'm playing Ball x Pit.

Otherwise i'm playing Ghost of Yotei, which is just perfect.

I finally got to the part in Legends ZA where I can free roam and low-key, it's fantastic. If the next game combines the cities from ZA and natural environments & battles from Arceus and can cleanup the graphics and performance, it would be amazing.

The clocks “fall back” tonight, and I can use that regained hour to fit in another Hades II run around the weekend chores and kids’ activities (and to eat some leftover Halloween candy). Turok Trilogy, Double Dragon Revive, and a beautiful Castlevania: Dominus Collection deluxe import set all joined the backlog pile on my shelf this week, but I have to keep going in Melinoë’s underworld adventures right now. I love how I’m still unlocking weapons, revealing story tidbits, and building affinities after so many hours into the game - such depth!

I’ll probably duck into Pinball FX to play a few event tables, too, as usual lately. I acquired my Elvira, Mistress of the Dark virtual statue last weekend, so I’m a happy camper. 🎃🦇

Wishing everyone lots of fun with your chosen adventures and distractions this weekend!🕹️👾⚡️🐢

Same as last few weeks - Donkey Kong Bananza and Hades. Just reached sub layer 1100 in the former - for some reason I had it in my head that 1000 would be the last one but clearly not!

And in Hades I’m struggling through the lower levels of pact of punishment to get more weapon upgrades and improve relationships with various gods etc. There’s no way I’ll ever beat the higher levels but I at least want to do the ‘main’ optional story stuff which I think I can manage. Crucially, I’m still enjoying it.

After watching Interview with a Vampire (94), 30 Days of Night (07) and Dracula (92), I think I will spend some time on my favourite of a fangtastic (apologies) series, the one that started it all, the mighty Castlevania. Presuming I don't get the urge to move on to Simon's Quest after, I shall get my inner ninja loose with Hagane. It's been a while since I played through it and that game is soooo much fun.

Edit @Kingy @LightSpirit I see I am not the only one letting their inner ninja out

Gotta finish Bananza. Really fun game, but had to take a break for a bit, felt like I was going through the motions. Looking forward to jumping in after a break. And then… Will I keep my pre-order of Age of Inprisonment… hmmm…

This weekend I will not be attending a wedding—thankfully, I might add. However, I had an unfortunate accident two nights ago. I totaled my car by hitting a deer on my way home from work, so that is coming with its own set of stressors and awful back pain. With that said, this thread is about games that are being played, and thus I shall begin;

First and foremost, I’m playing Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake (say that five times fast). Prior to its release I was thinking to myself, ”this HD-2D aesthetic is beginning to lose its charm”, and then lo and behold, this game releases and it’s visually breathtaking. It’s also been a huge pleasure to be in this world once again.

Dragon Quest has always been the ultimate comfort JRPG. Each time I defeat an enemy, or level up, and even save my progress, the jingle that plays always gives me a burst of dopamine. I’m not being factious - it warms my heart in an unexplainable way. And considering my circumstances, it’s needed.

In addition to DQ, no, not Dairy Queen, although that sounds delightful, I’m playing Absolum. Wow; what an incredible surprise. I typically enjoy rougelike(s), but they only hold my attention for few hours until I find a more structured narrative experience.

As much as I thoroughly enjoy my time with the likes of Hades 1 & 2, my issue stems with how the story is presented. The writing and characters are unbelievably well realized and developed, but the story unfolds by dying. While that may be the core essence of the genre, it becomes repetitive despite how good the gameplay is. Once the feeling of excitement for how new things seem, you eventually reach a point where you understand what you’ll stumble upon in the next room. Simply put, it loses its magic, at least for me.

With Absolum, while it features your common attributes in every rougelike, it plays more to its desired roots — a proper beat-‘em-up — but with a side scrolling adventure that feels like a condensed open world. There are secret paths to uncover, hidden chests, varying routes that can lead to intriguing side quests, and several characters to unlock. Dying may be part of its design, but runs last longer, giving me the sense of real progression.

All of this should be no surprise considering the studio that developed this game also made Streets of Rage 4, but this feels like a culmination of everything that Guard Crush Games is masterful at and dialed up to a 1000+ combo hit. What a year for the French; baiser du chef!.

Final Formation if I have time.

I finished the main story of Pokémon Legends Z-A yesterday, now I'm in the postgame. I'm having a good time. The realtime combat is quite interesting because it is truly different than normal Pokémon combat, yet it still retains a lot of familiar elements. I kind of enjoy how it gives life to moves that were always outclassed by other moves - there's now a distinct reason to use Rock Blast over Rock Slide for example because Rock Blast is quick and travels in a straight line. I think it's really cool what they've managed with the combat here, even though I definitely don't think it should replace standard combat in the mainline games or anything.

Pretty much only pipistrello and the cursed yoyo

Don’t know how I pulled it off but I beat the hardest superboss in xenoblade X definitive edition. I am officially done with the game. Spent a long time on this game, need to move on lol.

Donkey Kong bananza - still on sublayer 1200. Moving slowly on this layer world.

Fire emblem the sacred stones on NSO - almost done with the game.

Otogirisou(snes) on gkd pixel 2 - still working on it but it’s pretty good so far. Lots of choices in the game though.

Happy gaming everyone!

This week I will be mostly playing

Pokémon Legends E-A
Full Throttle Remastered

I'll be jumping back into vampire survivors to play the new free content. The gift that keeps on giving.

MK World and Titanic Scion. Pretty much just waiting for the next Prime 4 news so I can fit in Prime 2 and 3 playthroughs before Prime 4 launch.

Almost at 200 hours into The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. Probably get in a workout with Fitness Boxing 3 and maybe play Mario Kart World.

Splatoon 3. It’s been a while

@Duck_Farmer nice mate enjoy happy gaming mate from Sydney Australia 🎮🕹️🎮🕹️💚

Most of this weekend will be spent playing Luigi’s Mansion. Outside of that, I’ve also been revisiting my island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, over the last couple of days as well.

Disney Illusion Island is currently free to play until 11/4 with NSO. So far, I’m liking it. It’s much more Disney than I was expecting which further sets it apart from other Metroidvanias.

More Steamworld Heist 2 for me. The final boss has been revealed, but I've still got some stuff to do beforehand. I imagine I'll have it finished this week or the next. After that, its probably gonna be Hexen or Ninja Gaiden Ragebound that I'll play.

I'm playing Goldeneye 007 (N64) on Secret Agent (at Control), as well as Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon (Game Boy). This isn't my favorite Goemon game, but I've beaten all of the other ones released in the US this year (and some Japan-only), so I wanted to beat it too .

My kids are playing Ganbare Goemon 4 (Super Famicom), Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon (N64) (amazing game!), and Goldeneye 007 on Agent.

I only played for about 75 minutes last night but was able to finish my Civ VI run as King Mvemba a Nzinga of the Kongo. I scored my quickest culture victory ever, as the Kongo rode a capitol packed with religious relics and manmade wonders to a great start, which was finished off nicely by some grinding with rock bands.

Today I'm going to start a run as Peter of Russia. I'm aiming for a religious victory but will pivot if circumstances dictate.

Happy gaming, everyone!

Hope you all are doing well. It's no longer spooky season, and I wanted to have a Rosalina profile picture this time. Here's what I'll be playing...

Luigi's Mansion - I made it through area 2 last time, and I'm enjoying the game, too. It's been ages since I last played it and I'm happy it's on Nintendo Classics now! And just for fun, I've also been playing it during nighttime and with the lights turned off, just for added immersion, lol.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Star-Crossed World - (Yes, I left out the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" bit, lol.) I got the upgrade pack recently and while I didn't put too much progress in, I've been enjoying it from what I've played. It's more Kirby, and that's not a bad thing at all.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Still playing a little bit every day. One of my cousins actually gave me a green conductor's hat, and as someone who likes trains, that made my day! I've already been having the green outfit, so I'm happy for sure. It was my most wanted color, and there's a green train to match, too! Been thinking of doing a photo shoot for Christmastime. I'm excited for the new update, as well. It'll come out on the same month as my birthday! Nintendo will be wishing me a happy birthday with that update, haha.

Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event. We unfortunately didn't make the goal in the last one, so hopefully we'll do better this time.

I'm also thinking of playing Mario Kart World, Disney Illusion Island, and maybe Mario Party Superstars. We'll see how it goes.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and happy gaming, everyone.

Outside of some yardwork, I have a somewhat lax weekend. Which means more Pokemon Scarlet and Hades, both on Switch. I'm about to tackle my 7th gym in Pokemon, have 1 titan left to knock out, and 2 Team Star bases left to dismantle. In Hades, I'm having a great time but have hit a wall in Elysium with an infamous pair of bosses: Theseus and Austerius. Makes me wish they'd let me retry the fight instead of sending me back to the start.

Happy gaming!

Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - Found this one on PS Plus and decided to give it a try since I never played it on the PS2. 6 hours in and it’s been very fun platformer. Not sure how I skipped this one back in the early 00s. Looks like the rest of the series will be joining my backlog.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership - Made it to the Great Lighthouse Island in the Brrrrning Sea.

Pokemon Legends Z-A: Working my way through the post game and grinding for the shiny charm.

Portal 2: I haven't had the time to play this in the last few days so I'm excited to have the chance again.

Mario Kart World: I'll probably drop on in for a few races at some point.

This weekend I shall be playing Batman the brave and the bold on WiiU , Jenny Leclue detectivu on switch, Mr Driller 2 on NSO and a few goes on Sega rally on the Saturn.
Have a great weekend folks 😀

Another busy weekend, and not on purpose!
I should have gaming time on Sunday, when I'll be playing (if I have my way) a whole lot of Absolum. Absolutely fantastic co-op 2 player beat em up roguelike. We just got our first clear on Thursday (long live the chicken!!), and are eager to play more.
The only complaint I have is that when 2nd player clears a mission, it doesn't count. We rotate who's first, but every time we get the super high combo, we get it on 2nd player lol.

This week I played:

• Resident Evil 3 Remake (PS5): Got the Platinum. I love this game so much.
• Borderlands 3 (PS5): Completed the main story of the 2nd DLC; really good Lovecraftian atmosphere, story, characters and the wedding ceremony was wholesome.
• Digimon Story Time Stranger (PS5): Digievolved Gizamon into Lanamon (Ranamon), completed the Outer Dungeon Protect the Digimeat 2 a few more times for money and EXP.
• Borderlands 4 (PS5): Completed a few Sidequests; Vex reached Level 35.
• Witch of the Holy Night (Switch): Reached Chapter 4: Blues in her name. Aoko has some funny expressions.
• Fate/stay Night (Switch): Began the Prologue, good explanation of concepts, Rin & Ayako are cool, Shinji is a jerk, Taiga is funny, Issei is too serious.

Happy weekend & gaming everyone!!!

I’m going to Japan on Wednesday for three weeks and so I’ve been selecting the seven games I’m taking with me. I’ve settled on: Tokyo Xanadu Xe, Okami, Mario Kart World, Sonic Origins, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, The Messenger and Shin Chan and the Coal Town.

I’m a broken record at this point, but more Pokemon-ZA. I did finish the story last weekend so now it’s just battles and pokedex hunting.

I’ll start playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Switch 2 this month after completing the first one 100% with Mario in October. I'll just play it to beat it for now though. I’m not new to the games at all, but I enjoyed playing Galaxy 1 on Switch 2 more than I thought, so I’m certainly looking forward to revisiting Galaxy 2 after many years.

Otherwise, it’s the typical Salmon Run in Splatoon 3, Mario Kart World and Animal Crossing for me. I like the faster loading for New Horizons on Switch 2, but oof, the frames are so bad. That Switch 2 Edition can’t come soon enough!

Wife & I are working through all the Vampire Survivors content now Ante Chamber is out.

We’re a bit miffed they changed the coop weapon limit locally from 4 to 2. It’s not as fun with less stuff. I hear there’s a party mode but we don’t want NPC helpers we want the old weapon limit back. The devs didn’t do a great job communicating this to the late base if it’s an intended change.

Burnout Legends on PSP, maybe some AC Origins? I got tired of Shadows, so I reinstalled Origins. Hoping I get more invested in that one. Maybe I will just mainline it. I don't know. The games just never hold my interest. At least Shadows had the option to turn on one-hit assassins.

Ninja Gaiden 4 and Dragon Quest 1 HD-2D.

I finally finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter this week and it is a 10/10 remake. Take notes SquareEnix, this is how it's done.

I will be visiting a friend up near Inverness and bringing my Switch 2 with:

Mario Kart World
Smash Bros.
Bomberman R
Kirby & the Forgotten Land
Mario Maker 2
Mario & Rabbids

I only got eyes for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Great game.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has gotten the majority of the focus currently. About 20 hours in, working through Chapter 4. The last main mission I completed led to about 50 new icons popping up on the map, working through all of those!

Doing occasional runs of Hades 2, stuck on the second area boss at the moment, not broken through that wall yet. In world 2 in Super Mario Galaxy 2, still just grabbing two or three stars at a time in that one.

Started Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Not formed an opinion on it just yet, only done a couple battles and explored the monastery twice. It's a slower start than the other strategy RPGs I've played so far, so need to see how the combat opens up, quite basic so far.

Have mostly been only playing Mario Galaxy 2 recently. It's just so good. Possibly the best 3D platformer ever made.

I started Far Cry Primal. Played for about 20 minutes. It didn't really grab me.

I dropped back into Monster Train 2 for one run. I had sworn I was done with that game. But what can I say, it's the ultimate podcast/youtube type game for me.

Today I might get back into Divinity: Original Sin 2. I was loving that game but I dropped it a month ago when I moved recently. It doesn't have the same production value as Baldur's Gate 3 but it's just as addictive.

snowboard kids on n64. absolutely addicted. beat all the tracks in a row the other night which will always be a special memory.

.hack//Last_Recode

I’m mostly jumping between Donkey Kong Bonanza and Gbost of Yotei, but I’m seriously considering ARC Raiders even though I’m not big into multiplayer games.

Gonna be continuing a little bit of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered this weekend. Currently almost 8 hours in and having a good time!

In addition, I've actually returned to Runescape recently lol. I saw some news articles talking about how they actually had a poll letting the players decide if they wanted micro transactions removed from the game entirely. I've never seen a game do that before, and it kinda got me playing again!

still going between daemon X Machina 2 and cyberpunk 2077.

Dungeon Hunter 5 (Windows Phone) - Just starting this up and clearing the tutorial.

Twins (Windows Phone) - Back on this to finish up the last bonus levels.

Flowerz (Windows Phone) - Still enjoying my time with this. I'm nearing two-thirds of the way through it now.

Persona 3 Reload mostly with some Mortal Kombat on the side.

The better half of this weekend will likely end up spent in Xillia (with possible session overflow into its other fellow binge items across Switch, Deck and Vita... and, if I'm driven nuts enough, even a dive into Abyss 3D for good measure), although the rest of the usual suspect series on Switch (Xenoblade, Rune Factory, Persona, Atelier, Castlevania...) retain at least some odds of elbowing in alongside a few more titles like Ys Origin, No Man's Sky or Fire Emblem Warriors. Halloween vicinity may also pave the way for more progress across RE0, House of the Dead, Dying Light, Dredge and/or Layers of Fear 2 plus other platform items like Luigi's Mansion, Undying and NightCry.

@Morsel Thx! So far I'm really liking it, it's so cute and engaging, I can't stop smiling and shaking my head along 😬
What else is in your top 10?
Which other rythm games have you enjoyed on Switch?
Looking forward to Patapon 2 after I'm done with this one, and I also have Cyberpunk 2077 sitting in my backlog.

Chrono Cross I feel is nearing completion. SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT NEVER PLAYED IT AND HOPE TO

Hopefully I'm about to get Serge's body back as it's been... interesting being Lynx for like, half the game? I can't believe the amount of characters I've obtained just in GP. Definitely it's own experience separate from Chrono Trigger, which I'm a huge fan of, but that not a bad thing.

@Yalloo If I exclude the recent big games like ToTK, Xenoblade or Cyberpunk, such games are in my top10:
Final Fantasy X
Front Mission 3
Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons
Pokemon Gold
Dragon Quest Builders 2
Tony Hawk 3
Dark Cloud 2
Diablo 3
As for rhythm games, my big favorite is Theatrhythm.

Finished Ninja Spirit & on the last two levels in Wario Blast featuring Bomberman!

Wrapping up The Last of Us 2 on PC and Hitman on the Switch 2 😄

Fired up the GameCube last night and started playing Luigi’s mansion. Rolled credits on fantasy life i this week so moved over to legends ZA. Got to rank k for that mega greninja. Will probably ballxpit tonight

I’ve about wrapped up ball x pit, it’s been good fun but there are a couple of characters you get that aren’t very fun to play thru with and it’s a pretty quick beat. I’m also working my way thru ninja gaiden 4. It’s a bloody good time to.

I'm really gonna tear into Persona 3 Reload this weekend.

Lots of Tales of Xillia Remastered this weekend. I love this game, so it's been a blast to go through it again.

Just beat the Woodfall temple in Majora’s Mask. Played it as a kid but didn’t beat it. I intend to rectify that this week.

Almost forgot about this topic. Ever since I got back from Orlando a couple of days ago I'm still off time wise.

I plan on continuing in Hades 2 (Switch 2). On the plane ride home I was able to beat Chronos for the first time. As excited as I was I know that's just the tip of the iceberg for that game. I've also made big progress in Snowrunner (Switch 2) Season 1 DLC. The jobs/tasks in that map can REALLY be a pain in the @ss. However, per usual it's so satisfying when you finally figure it out...even if it takes hours of 1-2 steps forward with 1-2 steps back...

On a side note Epic Universe was dope. I was able to ride the Donkey Kong attraction "Minecart Madness" twice (once the Park opens fully it stays anywhere between 120 - 180 wait time so having early entry really pays off). Not the craziest ride ever but very fun and cute. Even my wife loved it. I unfortunately didn't get to have a meet & greet with Donkey Kong He never came out in the 3 days I was there. Team members said he was "on vacation" (I'm assuming his costume was busted or whatever).

I'm convinced the Slimenia board in the Alena Tour hates me, I've tried to win it what? 4 times already? And when I'm practically at the doors of victory, some nonsense happens that snatches victory from my hands. Either that or Alena goes forced buyout-happy (think trigger-happy in purchasing already owned properties) in my properties on districts I already own entirely.

The funny thing is that the Mario equivalent, Delfino Plaza in the Wario Tour, was a piece of cake. I cleared it on my first try.

Disney Illusion Island
Taking advantage of the NSO Trial to measure if Mickey and Friends controlling like in Rayman Legends are enough to entice me into Metroidvanias.

I played through Luigi's Mansion yesterday and today. Only five hours long if you go for all the Boos, probably less if you're not rusty like me. The big time sink this weekend, though, is Tales of Xillia Remastered. I'm still pretty early but my impression is, yep it's another Tales game all right. Which isn't a bad thing, I love the series for a reason. I also love that these remasters come with the grade shop unlocked at the start with enough grade to get everything. Makes for such a breezy, chill experience where I can just coast and enjoy the story.

I need to finish the awful dlc for sea of stars so I can finish the main game.

Good morning.
This Sunday I played Mario & Luigi Paper Jam 3DS as I really busy with my drawing project since morning.

This weekend I continued playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA) and I also started playing for the first time the original Paper Mario on the N64 as a retro event with my cousin.

@BringleWorkshop Some of the boss battles in Ganbare Goemon 4 are annoying (I think the Puyo Puyo one irritated me) but it is a fantastic game, amazing soundtrack as well.

It would appear I'm very much in the minority here but I've really enjoyed playing Simpsons Fortnite.

@Aki77 Yeah the boss battles were a little rough in 4. I wish they had done more traditional boss battles like the previous ones.

I really like all of the Super Famicom ones though. 2 is amazing I love 3 as well. Is there any Goemon game without an awesome soundtrack ?
