Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd August)

Finished Steamworld Heist.
Really enjoyed it, a nice change of pace.

Started Witchcrafty after grabbing it on sale. Enjoying it so far.
EDIT: I have to add that it currently has a lot of bugs. I've encountered a bug where my character can't move and is frozen = hard reset.
A bug where I died but wasn't loaded back in = hard reset.
A bug where my character glides instead of walking and can't jump = hard reset.
A bug where there were invisible enemies.
This is all in the first few hours. It's a shame as the game is very good but man does the Switch version need a patch.

Also bought Hunter X whilst on sale so I have that to play next.

Enjoying Geist on my Cube. I wish Nintendo did more games like this these days.

Have a great weekend everyone

I just finished playing Bayonetta and unlocked Jeanne. I also got a gold medal at the Angel Slayer challenge (only took me 19 attempts this time 😅).
So I've played enough Bayonetta for now.
This game really gets me in a special flow, I don't know how to describe it, but it's very enjoyable.

Plans for the weekend include getting back to Bullets per Minute and try to get good at it, so I can enjoy more than just the music!

I also bought the Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2, so I will probably be playing that in between.

And of course, more Tears of the Kingdom and Tetris 99.

Happy gaming 🎮
Happy weekend 🤘🏻
And because it is in Amsterdam this weekend, Happy Pride 🧡 Hope you are all proud of who you are and don't ever let anybody bring you down 🧡
We've got only this one life, so do make sure you enjoy all of it. The best place is here and the best time is now 🧡

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. The perfect game for the Summer.

They put their heart and soul in the single player. The levels strike the right balance between difficulty (from Neon Arena onwards), replayability and simply being fun to play. The catchy soundtrack is just icing on the cake.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I recently bought the pikmin 1 + 2 double pack, I'm 2/3rds through my first attempt at Pikmin 1, hopefully I'll finish it this weekend!

As usual, some Blue Archive, though I might end up giving Punishing Grey Raven a try, I hear for a gacha action game, its combat is absolutely insane

@Zuljaras I love the pictures you're posting every week with your message. Thanks for that!

@JohnnyMind It seems you're enjoying MP Remastered, especially after redoing the whole begining of the game several times, or are you just a very thorough person? 😅
And to be honest, I'm a bit jaleous that you still have so much to do in Ring Fit, I'm left with only a couple titles to unlock, and of course my least favourite skills. I don't know if I would be willing to restart it from scratch though.

Blasphemous 2: I got it during the half off sale I’ve been enjoying this and am greatly impressed by the design and that an indie team was able to pull this level of quality off. I’m not super far yet but right now I feel like I might stick with it (my game time is incredibly limited right now and I am very fickle with games). So yeah the atmosphere and art is top notch and I’m playing in Spanish like God intended. One complaint I have is that igniting the swinging mace that I’m using sometimes glitches and freezes my character so it throws the timing off and I have to burn through more fervor to ignite it in a safer space. Hopefully this will be patched. But all in all it’s an extremely interesting and well made game.

Ring Fit Adventure: This is my favorite game and something that I’m always playing. My oldest is going back to school next week so I’m excited to get more time for leg lifts and cardio.

Other than that I might play a mission or 2 in Red Dead Redemption. There’s a lot of aspects I’m enjoying but many of the side activities like card games or horse wrangling aren’t for me. I wouldn’t mind seeing this through because I like some of the characters and dialogue but if I drop it no biggie.

Gotta be with friends this weekend so surely not playing too much for me! But whenever I have some time, I'll be playing Okami. Happy gaming everyone!

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Having played XVI a month or so ago and heard that this is one of the greatest RPGs of all time I was naturally curious, and it mostly holds up.

Cloud is a smartly written conflicted character, Tifa is the loyal best friend who reminds him of who he is beneath the SOLDIER, and Aerith serves as the conscience and motivation that we'd all be lucky to have. The city of Midgar is beautifully unveiled as a world not too dissimilar to our own, but with a healthy dose of futurism injected. Some of the story is truly humorous (such as Cloud dressing as a woman for a lascivious lecher of a potential groom) or appropriately epic, i.e. the team taking down a robot designed to execute them in front of the whole city.

It can be a bit linear, but I suspect the development team was aware of this as, even during those story missions that are, they include multiple branching pathways with tons of loot just itching to be found. The combat is (for me, since I played it first) reminiscent of Kingdom Hearts, and it's quite cool to see the origin of the Limit Break system, especially utilized so smoothly. On that note, there's hardly a stutter in framerate: not usually a concern for me, but it's nice to see the game play so buttery smooth.

I need to experience the full tale, but I've sunk twenty hours over the past two days, which should tell you everything you need to know about how much I'm enjoying this title.

Trying to learn MK 11 little by little. I also finally finished fr7 last week and man is the story just amazing! I’m glad crisis core and the remakes exist because I can’t get enough of this world and its characters!

Also will be doing persona 4.

Thank Goodness You’re Here. I’m from Yorkshire so felt I had to buy it day one and it hasn’t disappointed. Extremely funny.

Also Yoku’s Island Express. Started it several times over the years since it released but never finished it for some reason despite absolutely loving it- hopefully I’ll beat it this weekend

I got back into Easy Come Easy Golf. Gonna finish up the last bonus case in Spirit of Justice in the Apollo Collection. Get in a workout of Fitness Boxing 2, play a bit of Princess Peach Showtime, and maybe some Mario Kart 8.

This week I will be mostly playing

Pokémon TCG (3DS GBC VC)
Kirby’s Dream Course
Mario’s Super Picross

Switch: 100% The Messenger - good fun, not too sure on the pacing. Going to rest it for a while before going on the DLC

Florence: completed on a train ride - very sweet game with some lovely graphics and music but I need to know more!

Now I’m figuring out what to play on my holibobs - probably Super Mario Sunshine or The Minish Cap

PS5: haven’t had much time at home this week so still on the final boss of Sifu but managed to bring my age down quite a bit

During the week I got back into Theatrhythm, going for the last 2 big stars, progressing slowly as it makes my fingers hurt. Otherwise I’ll continue Persona 4 Golden, in-game July, dungeon incoming.

Monster Hunter Rise. New to the series. I’m 30 hours in and still figuring out controls.

Our and Blind Forest: a beautiful game

Yooka Laylee and Impossible Lair: pure fun and nostalgia inducing

I have just gotten the "Defeat Ganondorf" quest in TotK, which I presume is the final main one... so I will be finishing that off this weekend!

Wondering about Wind Waker or Mortal Kombat 9, maybe Girl Who Stands Behind.

Likely to jump on the World Of Goo train and play some of the first one. Pirated it on Wii back in t'day, then bought it on Switch, but hold my hands up to being a bit pants at it and never having got my head round how to go about structuring my goo when things get tight.

Beyond that, who knows. Been putting a bit of (long overdue) time into indexing my Switch games collection, so it would be good to carry that on, and that's bound to get me ripping the seals off one or two neglected games.

But there's some stone-cold classics I've started but not finished that are increasingly itching my mind. Tears Of The Kingdom, Hollow Knight, or Pokémon Violet (yes, it is a classic in my eyes), could this be your time to return to the hot seat?

I wish you all the gamiest of gaming weekends my friends 😚

Oh... and probably some more Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which I've been getting back to this week, with the wonderful Daisy, obvs. Can I redo my vote?

I have a busy weekend ahead, as I am hoping to get some writing done. When I do get time for gaming, though, I shall carry on with Forza Horizon 4. I decided not to go for the Encore achievement, which will be impossible to obtain soon. It requires winning games on the Playground events and I just don't enjoy them.

Aside from that, I am playing Balatro, Jane Austen's 8-bit Adventure, Dragon Quest Builders and Stitch.

@Yousef- So sweet of you! 🧡 Thanks!

I actually never played Mega Man games before they released all of the Game Boy games on NSO recently. I had so much fun that I went and bought the legacy collections, the X legacy collections, Mega Man 11 and even Gravity Circuit that many people here compared to those games 😅 I'm sure to have a great time, and seeing the cool games you are playing only comforts me in that feeling.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Ain't nobody gonna stop me this weekend!

Been messing around with some Salt and Sanctuary and Post Void.

I’ve been playing Oregon Trail for the very first time of my life on the switch. I absolutely love my time with it. I love the music, the atmosphere, and just all the random things that can happen to you, time will tell on how thin or girthy it be on content but im loving the unlocks of new scenarios, items, and characters. This game has me wondering if I’d like world of horror but that game is a bit too dark and gross out for me I think.

Finished my first play through of Red Dead Redemption this week so chilling with some shorter plays this weekend. Tried my hand at Wrecking Crew for the first time and loved it so far, as well as beginning Metroid: Zero Mission - both via NSO.

On PS5 i will be playing Trails Through Daybreak and Fairy Tail.

On Switch its Pikmin 1 and Tears of the Kingdom

Tchia, and as NL review suggested, I am going into the game blind. So far it’s great!

I finished Little Kitty Big City this past week. It was better than expected, I definitely recommend it, on sale.

Rocket League, Unleashed 2, Travel Mosaics.

Happy gaming everyone!

Got hooked on Splatoon 3 again so playing lots of that. Need to get on with decorating my bedroom unfortunately.

Working through all the No More Heroes games, I've only ever played 2 on the Wii. Currently half way through 2 right now and I gotta say, despite these games not being particularly great mechanically or narratively, there's just some incredible magnetism to them.
There's something really cool about having this duo of gory, insane black comedies just sitting right next to Mario Galaxy and Animal Crossing City Folk.

I’m abroad for a friend’s wedding this weekend so will continue when I can ‘Shin Chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation.’ At the very minimum I’ll get a solid couple of hours in on the plane home tomorrow.

So obsessed with Baba is You right now.... an amazing puzzle adventure with an extreme amount of charm.

I play baba anywhere, when I'm stuck on a puzzle I just remember it... basically playing baba in my dreams.

Perhaps on Sunday I will have time for a little Xenoblade Chronicles DE. I’ve been in a rut since finishing TTYD and have yet to play any of the Xenoblades!

I love this feature and I love reading through the comments for it each week. For me, it marks the proper start of the weekend.

After +50 hours of play over the last 3 weeks, I finally finished off the main campaign for PowerWash Simulator. I had a really enjoyable and relaxing time with it, but now I'm ready for something challenging and fast paced, so I'm going to try booting up Gravity Circuit soon.

I’ve started to replay Link’s Awakening on Switch this month in anticipation for Echoes of Wisdom next month. I’ve reached the final mansion in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and should beat that game very soon, but the sneak peek for the next Splatfest has also begun, so I want to earn at least two conch shells a day through next week. Go Team Bread!

My big game win of the week was Scrabble. I made a lot of big fun plays. Otherwise I've been acquiring more armor/clothes for Link in The Second Quest. I'm still surprised at how I'm enjoying the extra challenge of things like not being able to eat raw food, having limited meal space, almost getting killed by baby froxes cuz their tops are armored like turtles or something, and just simply having to run away from lots of enemies because I can't handle them. I've also been playing the regular mode of TOTK but with stuff like infinite zonai wings (I love gliding around for as long as I want, and as long as I have altitude). I'm also playing Kingdom Two Crowns, Rocket League, and Wipeout Phantom Edition.
I'm drinking Iceland Tea Garden Pu-erh (it's from China, of course), reading Heart Without Measure (Ravi Ravindra is one of my favorite authors), and listening to Cut Copy.
Have fun everyone!

Switch plans are full of RPG itches (Xenoblades and RFs, Oninaki and Crystar, Metal Max Xeno and NieR Automata, Outer Worlds and Persona 3, Dragon's Dogma and Astlibra, Fuga and Minstrel Song) plus a few FPS ones (Bioshock 2, Borderlands 2, Doom 3) and a handful of other stuff from Isaac, Dredge and Civilization 6 to Far: Changing Tides, Slaycation Paradise and Northgard. Whim wildcards like BotW, Dying Light and Crown Trick might elbow in, too.

Session odds on the other platforms include Deck's FFXIII/XV, Xillia/Zestiria/Arise, Watch Dogs, XCX, Dishonored and Morrowind as well as Vita's Persona Revelations, Eternia and God Eater, PS4's NFS2015/RE3R/Avengers and 3DS's Unwound Future, Endless Frontier and Valentia. Naturally, something else can likewise show up alongside or instead, but what else is new with weekends and multiplat backlogs?

I'm a really happy gamer right now. When I first got Astral Ascent I didn't imagine I'd stumbled on a 10/10 game. I feel incredibly blessed and have been on cloud nine for so long it's starting to look like home!!! 😍 Happy gaming, everyone!!! ❤︎♥︎❤︎

Been playing Lies of P which looks outstanding even on PS4. I really like the game and its one of the better Souls style games I've played. Also bought Star Wars Bounty Hunter as I've never played it, so will see how it is.

Still playing Red Dead Redemption in the Switch. My summer has been surprisingly busy so I have not played it enough but I would like to finish RDR before the new Zelda game is released.

I'm about to complete my first run of BG3 on Xbox. I only have a couple quests to wrap up before I go to the final boss.
It's been a fun journey. A couple months ago I was about to give up on the game because I thought it was sluggish and boring. But now I can barely put it down.

Tears of the Kingdom and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD for me! I may play some Dr. Mario 64 and Animal Crossing New Horizons as well.

Happy gaming!

I've got a few days in the sun from tomorrow, so I'll likely just spend a little time on my Evercade EXP during the flight. Strider and 1944 - The Loop Master will probably be the games of choice!

Thank Goodnesss this article is here, Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two from this

Not the Marvel VS Capcom collection...

I finally finished Paper Mario this week. Typically I take a break between RPGs, but Sea of Stars was calling my name and I am loving it!
I’m about 10 hours in and of course the art style is a delight! But I also find the combat snappy in a delightful way! It keeps me on my toes and I love the system wherein I need to do so many things to stop the enemies signposted attack.
Brilliant stuff!!

It's my birthday weekend and I got some new Switch games as presents that I can't wait to play!!

• Princess Peach: Showtime!
• One Piece Odyssey
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak

I've played a few stages of Peach's game so far and it's super cute! I also wanna give One Piece Odyssey a go at some point this weekend. I'll have to wait to start the two Trails games until I finish Cold Steel III, but I'm super excited to play them eventually.

Break from Xenoblade 3 this weekend.

Just got the rather excellent Megadrive Encyclopedia by Chris Scullion so it will be an on and off read over the weekend playing some Megadrive classics. Speedball 2, Desert Strike and Road Rash first.

I've started collecting books like this in the last 12 months including strategy guides.

Managed to get the DQ8 official guide (Piggyback) in a charity shop the other day for £3 and I got a mint condition Xenoblade X hardback guide for £10 last month.

I Need a new bookcase 😄

I've gotten hooked on Atelier Shallie at the moment, which is sort of unfortunate as I was meant to start the Apollo Justice Trilogy haha. At least between that and Investigations Collection, I can make the series last longer. I'm also trying to finish Shining Resonance: Refrain at last- been on and off with playing it for a good while now and I feel bad for leaving games unfinished 😅 also got my daily Pocket Card Jockey to play 🙂

Upon finding out the Switch version of Tomb Raider 3 was buggy, I chose to play the Lara Croft collection instead. Currently on the 2nd game of the collection (Temple of Osiris) and I'm liking it so far.

I'm mostly using Remote Play to play PS5 on the Steam Deck. I got the platinum for Daxter (2x) this past week and Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier. I'm going for the second one on the latter now: not the best Jak game for sure, but I think it gets too much flak. I'm also playing Far Cry 3, LocoRoco Remastered, starting Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters and maybe Sly Raccoon.
On the Steam Deck I'm managing my own vault in Fallout Shelter after recently watching the show (I recommend it!). I'm also very slowly progressing through Fallout 3. I want to get back to Spirit of Justice and finish that last case before the Investigations Collection comes out again.
I don't know if I'll have time in between all of that for my Switch, but if I do, I would want to not give up on TTYD even though it did not win me, and get finally finished with Persona 5 Royal, though for that my partner would need to be watching and right now I'm backseat gaming for their playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins (getting ready for The Veilguard).

battlefield bad company- My dad recommended that I try this game so I borrowed his copy to play.
animal crossing- Have not decided whether I'll play new leaf or happy home designer but I'll play one of those two
fallout 4-ol reliable

The two Splatoons and maybe two or three Balatro runs.

The New Denpa Men and Cozy Grove today. Tomorrow I'll continue The New Denpa Men, and I'm going to start Straded Sails on the Switch.

I’m in quite a gaming funk lately - just nothing is bringing me joy. I’ve had several great preorders from Japan just deliver, all kinds of fantastic games just sitting on the shelf unplayed, but no motivation.

I just think there’s some practical improvements I need to make in general life, since I’ve been compensating with something I love (games) for a while and it’s not doing it lately.

I will play on in Paper Mario: TTYD a little this weekend, at least, since my daughter was asking about it.

Wishing everyone a carefree weekend! 🕹😅

This week, I beat ALL stories in Sonic Adventure on my Xbox! I enjoyed all of the stories, but E-102 Gamma’s was easily my favorite. I would like to start up Sonic Adventure 2 this weekend, either on Xbox as well, or on my laptop with some graphical upgrade mods installed. It would be a good way to prepare myself for Sonic X Shadow Generations in the fall.

Other than that, I am continuing chapter 6 in The Thousand Year Door, and I would like to make more progress in Dragon Quest III.

I just finished Sonic Origins, so i'll be playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3; I need to finish this one - plus its DLC - so i'm starting it over.. and actually finishing it this time!
For the rest, I'm playing..

• Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
• Super Mario 3D World
• Pokémon Sword
• Pokémon Scarlet
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero

Happy Weekend!

I’ve been pretty busy building a new setup so hopefully this weekend I can finally sit down and enjoy it for a bit, I’m still missing a couple things, but so far so good. I’ll probably continue my playthrough of P5R and Resident Evil, and I might resume playing Control since I bought Alan Wake 2 on sale last week. Its been a busy past few weeks so have a good a good weekend everyone!

Watching more Olympics, so not a lot of gaming again. But I did start up Etrian Odyssey Untold and am making slow progress while athletes are doing all the sporting!
I played EO1 when it first came out, but only got to the second floor. I was pretty intimidated by the FOEs so I didn't go anywhere.
But I've played every EO since, so I'm no longer intimidated. If anything, I'm a little too reckless! Love this series!

One Piece Odyssey! Game is so much fun. So far gameplay wise it feels Dragon Quest esque and wasn't expecting a weapon triangle similar to Fire Emblem. With this game combining 2 of my favorite series I'm definitely a fan. Love the gameplay and I'm enjoying going through the new story as well as backtracking through the story from the anime itself.

Belatedly playing Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and it's been tremendous fun. Looking forward to catching up with this series on Wii U and Switch, now.

When I'm not working or at church Sunday, I'll be continuing my Paper Mario: Color Splash playthrough. Right now, I almost got the big green star. Honestly, this is probably the best flawed game I've ever played. Not 100% certain what I'll play after.

Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! (Mobile) - Still playing this. I’ve gotten newer high scores on some of the more harder songs and have gotten more rewards as a result. There’s still a few more available songs I need to play soon and get higher scores on, plus there are more songs releasing this month, but I’ll get onto those later.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day (N64 and Xbox) - I’ve been playing this for a few days on the Xbox via Rare Replay, since Pure Xbox’s game club voted on the game for this month. Nearly done with my second playthrough and I’m currently on the Its War chapter, though that one is going to be so frustrating to complete thanks to its difficulty being higher and the game being pretty slow during the shooting segments. Love the game a ton, absolutely a favorite of mine, but its gameplay (mostly the shooting gameplay) and some of the level design is a bit poor and the silly writing and charming characters overshadow it significantly. I might be able to complete the game again today, but I don’t plan on doing a third playthrough afterward. I think I should have played the remake instead to save some frustration with the controls, but I sort of don’t like a bit of the censoring on that one and I prefer the cartoony look of the original.

If you are curious as to what part of the game I didn’t like the most in terms of level design, it’s this prehistoric-themed level called Uga Buga. It’s laden with so many awful and poorly done objectives that are either slow or hard to complete, especially this racing minigame that gets thrown in near the end that is so random and annoying.

Switch: I’ve been playing Untitled Goose Game with the kids and we’ve been having a good time with it. I’ll continue my play through of Nier:Automata..I’ve only recently unlocked ending A. My backlog is still undefeated and growing, I’m pretty amazed at the number of games I’ve purchased for the Switch, it’s been a good run!

Xbox Series X: I’ve been taking advantage of Gamepass and have been playing more on this system. I did recently purchase a memory expansion so no more juggling games for space. Still playing through Dead Space Remake , I can’t believe it but I’m back to playing COD with MW3 recently released, I’m having a good time with it.

@Lightsiyd
I recently purchased Astral Ascent but have yet to give it a go! Glad to hear such a glowing review! Hades is an all time classic so putting it up there is a big compliment to the game. I’m looking forward to trying it out now. I was a bit skeptical soon as I hit purchase 😆

Strains on deck: MAC and some classic Blue Dream, Comatose and Death Bubba 😮‍💨🥴

Have a great weekend! Happy gaming!

@Tyranexx Loooooooong overdue I can't wait to hear how Future Redeemed goes.

I let myself fall back asleep twice this morning and i am feeling rare and rested. In aid of that, is that my cantankerous neighbor has finally been evicted after he threatened to negate my existence with a firearm. I’m glad he’s gone.
On the Switch is business as usual with Moonstone Island. I am into Fall now and acquired the Water Seal a few days before the seasonal change. I had gotten so busy decorating that i hadn’t notice the days whipping by! The change in seasons is fun and it’s more enjoyable than in AC cuz of all the new plants. I crafted a treehouse and set up my kitchen to whip up some tasty dishes too. I saw someone on Twitter saying they beat the game in two days and it shocked me. I am 35 hours in and imagine i’ll beat it in about 60. I’m in no hurry.
I started a Diablo 2 Resurrected run, mainly because Denpa Men and Epyx Rogue inflicted upon me a thirst for a dungeon crawl but failed to quench. Their respective failings being a f2p model and a glitch(which i hope gets ironed out).
PC- I started playing Magic the Gathering again after swearing an oath to never do so. The new expansion, Bloomburrow, is at fault, as it is filled with phenomenal artwork of critters. I am playing with physical cards as well as online with Magic: the Gathering Arena. Also, i won a Bloomburrow booster box on twitter!
The Table: It’s been a busier summer than expected , and now things have settled down so my partner and I will start back into our DnD campaign. (Yay!)
Alright, i’ve disgorged too much already, time to send this horde of words on its way.
Take care of yourselves and game well!

When my weekend starts, I will be continuing Zelda Skyward Sword HD. I have to admit for not being a Zelda guy this game has really grown on me. A little of a slow start for me but once I got familiar with the game and story I'm having a real good time.

When I'm not playing that I like to keep doing runs of Sifu (Switch). Even though I've achieved both endings I just love repeating the campaign. This game really plays on that childhood fantasy of being a kung fu bad@ss and just beating up bad guys in style. Can't get enough

@Rainz I hope you have as much fun as I did with it 😁 Happy gaming!!!

almost done with luigis mansion 2 and after that going to play ace combat 7........Stewie:Talk to me Goose....Brian:Please dont call me that.......Stewie:Your my eyes goose.

@Teksetter I get that way occasionally , and it’s sometimes as you say, something in life outside of gaming that isn’t right and needs tending to. Other sources are that i just get disenchanted with the general trappings of the hobby, and need a little break, or i just have played so many mediocre games, i need to find something really special to pull me out of funkland.
Whatever the source, i hope you find relief to your gaming ennui!

@deecas Have a safe trip!

@Diogmites
Thanks for the friendly encouragement! That’s a great summary of how I’m feeling. This funk is probably from a combination of the factors you named.
Things will work out though! 👍🏼

On Nintendo Switch:

• Undernight In-Birth 2 Celes: My new game. Excelent in all aspects.
• Mario Golf Super Rush: My other new game. Playing the adventure mode.
• Easy Come Easy Golf: I need to win the Rank 5 Boss and unlock Course 6!
• Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: Finishing the second map, base game.

I ended up getting Tears of the Kingdom for a really good deal. I liked BoTW but wasn't as crazy as everyone else so I held off on it.

I shouldn't have, I love Tears. I really like the new abilities better than the ones in BoTW. It seems almost like minecraft lite sometimes like when I can build a bridge or something.

I also think the story is way better. I'm still not crazy about the combat though. Still, I'm really enjoying it and going to focus on that this weekend.

@JohnnyMind Do you have 20 clones clones of yourself or something, how can you fit that all in a week(end?).

Just bought the first Danganrompa yesterday, so I’ll be going through that when I have time today! It’s been pretty fun so far, definitely an interesting game. I’ll also be knocking out Hero Ascension quests in XC3 before I do a NG+ run.

I've been busy moving this weekend, so I probably at best will be able to play one thing. That will be Cyber Shadow.

Not much changed for me from last week. Playing baten kaitos origins. Pretty much the main game I am doing now. Maybe a little Megaman battle network legacy collection.

For non switch games. I am still hammering away drakengard 3 little by little. Got ending/route C done just a little while ago.
Don’t even know if I will even touch bravely default 1 this week or next week. 😂

I played a lot of fighting games last week after getting SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos for my Switch Lite.

It isn't the best fighting game I've ever played, but it is quite unique in its "tone" (music, graphics - even down to the different "conversations" between the fighters) imo.

It felt like a survival horror fighting game in a sense with everything being pretty bleak and gritty. Not very uplifting I admit.
Pretty rough in single player mode (which is all I play) too with balancing issues/sometimes being directly unfair (Goenitz with his never ending "mini tornados" attacks in particular).

But I found out some of the characters are way better to play as than others. I boiled it down to 7 fighters; Sagat, Chun-Li and Vega, because they have long legs basically (good for ground sweeping - which isn't easy in this game imo) and of the SNK ones; Mr. Karate (normal), Iori, Terry and Mai (the latter 4 because they simply seemed overpowered compared to others).

I put 10 hours into the game and is burned out on it for now, but now I know what fighters to focus when I pick it up again in a month or two. The game also spurred me into finishing up Guilty Gear, Street Alpha and III subseries plus Capcom's Fighting Games Collection (you got to "work" on your back catalogue once in a while ).

This week I haven't played much at all, but just started Lost Planet 3 (which is a somewhat underrated game imo) again on my Steam Deck today after a 3 month complete hiatus from PlayStation/Xbox/PC style AAA games (it's nice to play something that requires sticks again ).

I finished Bowser’s Fury this past week, which was surprisingly delightful.

I’m still playing through Clannad on the Switch, and trying to be strong in not switching from the JPN text to English too often, though I really do love that they made language switch just a button press for this and some other VNs they’ve done. It’s really great for language learners from either country.

I also started as well a JPN play through of Tales of Phantasia: Voiced Edition for PSP (on my Vita). It’s been good, but the combat so far has been too easy. I imagine things will get spicier later.

If I have time to game in front of the TV, it might be Siren 1 in JPN I’ll be playing.

“On second thought, let's not go to Barnsworth. 'Tis a silly place.”

Loved every bit of Thank Goodness You’re Here

I’ll probably be returning to The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures this weekend. I’ve been progressing through it pretty slowly—after six Ace Attorney games back-to-back, the burnout gets to you—but I’m still having a fun time revisiting it. I’m on Episode 3: The Adventures of the Runaway Room…and man, I remember this trial was wild. Probably one of the most insane plot twists in the franchise…

Might play some other games, too. Revisiting EarthBound Beginnings has been fun, and no matter how many times I play it, it never seems to get old. Might also revisit Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and brush up on my fighting skills, now that I have all the spirits.

Good afternoon.
This Sunday morning, i played Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town PS4. 😊

Unfortunately nothing for the next times...
For personal and financial reasons had to sell my PS5 and my Switch along with the majority of the games...
Will grab new onee in the future when the time is right

Persona4 The ULTIMAX ULTRA SUPLEX HOLD – cleared chapters I–IV of Episode P4. So far, plot is significantly better in the sequel.
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II [Sys:Celes] – unlocked all of Uzuki's win quotes. Played online in Casual. Found one user with whom I've fought twice in a row. I've won both matches.
BIOHAZARD REVELATIONS – farmed BPs and EXP in Raid Mode. S ranked Norman boss fight on Trench difficulty. B ranked 3rd level on Abyss difficulty with the Genocide bonus.
BLAZBLUE CENTRALFICTION Special Edition – finished Course A in Speed Star Mode as Yûki Terumi. Tried to do the same as Lambda-11, and failed. Tried to beat Course A in Score Attack Mode as Terumi and Mai, and failed.
Well, for now, it's all what I've played on this week. Have a nice gaming weekend, everyone.

Well here we go with another awesome WAYP. Been an incredible week. Almost beat Stellar Blade and secured preorders for the Deluxe Edition of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered. Also bought the ECW Punk pack for WWE2K24 with the reward points I got from PlayStation Stars for that. Very happy about it because I love CM Punk. Also ordered a copy of Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ for switch. Owned the original on PS4 and always said well it feels like it fits on Switch and here we are. Can’t wait to boot it up on my day off. Also scored a awesome deal of the Borderlands Pandora’s Box collection for $37 instead of 150 so I think that means at some point a Borderlands Marathon is on the books like my Uncharted and Resident Evil marathons before it. Also might wanna see that movie too. Speaking of movies I saw Deadpool and Wolverine this week with my best friend and man that was a terrific movie seriously I think it may be easy top 3, definitely a comfort movie I would watch on Disney Plus again if it came out there. Otherwise I enjoyed some more Trails Through Daybreak and FFXIV: Dawntrail. Took a little for both to click but man I just love both of those games so much I really wanna pour loads more into them. Thinking the rest of the weekend will just be a Persona 3 Reload weekend. Made it to December and that means there’s just that and January left. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Paper Mario, more P3R and beating Stellar Blade, Luigi’s Mansion, Trails Through Daybreak, beating Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, FFVII Rebirth, Kunitsu Gami and Dragon’s Dogma 2.. Also think I’m gonna try to get some Eshop money this week to secure copies of Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night Remastered which just got a release for this week. Already own Witch on the Holy Night on PS4 so I think I wanna try to beat all three of those visual novels before the end of the year. WWE SummerSlam too was absolutely amazing I got to see it with my best friend and stepdad and it was just absolutely peak. I won’t go in depth and spoil for those who haven’t seen it yet but I don’t think there was a bad match the whole thing. The pop for a certain comeback was so loud it was absolutely insane. I think my standouts would be Cody Vs Solo, Rhea Vs Liv, and CM Punk Vs Drew. Let’s just say that this weeks RAW and SMACKDOWN are gonna be absolutely amazing. And I got surprised with tickets for SMACKDOWN in October which I am absolutely stoked for as that will almost certainly be building up for a Bloodline Civil War Wargames at Survivor Series in November. Anime of the week gotta go to Demon Slayer, Oshi No Ko, Vtuber Legend and Delicious in Dungeon. Demon Slayer was excellent especially and I’m very interested to see the trilogy of movies they’ve announced to end the series. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Last Stand Media, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Aetheryte Radio and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be incredible to each other. Have a beautiful weekend and of course Happy Gaming.

@FishyS Thank you so much for the birthday wish! It really is a cute game

Wish I had time to get into something more complex, but with two kids under 3 I can only get in a quick game of Solitaire here and there. When the baby contact-naps on me and the toddler is playing, I play Dorfromantik in handheld mode.

@Vyacheslav333 Do you wanna play UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II [Sys:Celes] and Persona4 The ULTIMAX ULTRA SUPLEX HOLD online?

@Rykdrew Thanks, but I can't do this now.

@Diogmites thanks so much, it was a great trip!

@deecas You’re welcome and glad the trip was good!
