Just finished Dragon Quest XI S on Switch. Now I'm playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on PS4, which I've had since it released last year but kept forgetting about.
@AgentGuapo I've been really looking forward to it. Despite being a huge JRPG fan this is my first DQ game. I also have DQ VIII on the 3DS to play at some point.
@munstahunta I had a great time with Octopath Traveler. Its the most played game on my Switch, all eight story paths and most of the sidequests for about 140 hours of playtime.
I'm on act 4 of Wargroove, but I've grown a bit tired of the repetition and the fact that all of the factions play exactly the same apart from the commanders.
I've taken a break from it and started Ys VIII instead. I'm also playing through Pokemon Let's Go Eevee with my kids and Pokemon Omega Ruby alongside my wife, who has Alpha Sapphire.
The Crown Tundra release reminded me that I'd yet to start the Isle of Armour, which I'm now playing. I'll probably move straight on to second one when I'm done.
Fast RMX. I don't tend to play racing games much, and only bought it because there wasn't much else to play, but I just couldn't put it down. Brilliant game.
I actually stopped playing BOTW around 20 hours in and didn't go back for months because of how much I was playing Fast RMX.
Currently playing Atelier Ryza. It's my first Atelier game and it's taken a while for me to really get into it. Now I'm about 32 hours in and I'm enjoying the laid back pacing on offer here.
Probably more than halfway through the main plot but I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of the game. It's a deceptively deep experience.
Just started a two week holiday from work, so I'll be trying to get as much gaming as possible done before my university course starts up again.
I'm mainly focused on Odin Sphere Leifthrasir at the moment, with a bit of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe and I plan to try out Rocket League if I get the chance.
Very little as I've had to pickup extra shifts due to other staff being off sick. If my kids give me some peace today I'll play either Doom 2016 on Switch or Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on PS4.
@Kid_Sickarus yeah I did most of the sidequests I came across except for a few that required really specific weather conditions. I rarely made a point of finding sidequests though, mainly just did the ones I found.
Also, about 12 hours of my playtime was for the Future Connected epilogue.
Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles two nights ago after 95 hours of game time. Great game, loved it every step of the way.
I currently have New Super Lucky's Tale and Doom on the go so I'll try and crack on with them this weekend, but I'm working an extra shift so time will be limited.
@HazezonTamar it is a great game. Played it on PS4 and now I'm loving it even more in handheld. Needed the Hori Split Pad to stop my hands cramping up though.
I've been holding out for Doom Eternal on Switch, fighting the temptation to buy it on PS4.
This morning I've been playing Doom 2016 with my new puppy sleeping on my lap.
Tonight I'll be playing Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. I'm on the final chapter but a bit under levelled so I probably won't finish it this weekend.
@RupeeClock I doubt it. I think I saw Raidou Kuzunoha in the trailer. He was in the original version, Dante was swapped in for the western release but it looks like their remastering the original Japanese release.
Love this game. It's the most played game on my switch, with about 140 hours on it. I still have much of the endgame content to do, so I'll need to jump back in at some point.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 2nd)
Having finished off Ever Oasis this week, I'm now about ten hours into Tales of Vesperia. I'm enjoying the world and characters so far.

Triangle Strategy,
Shin Megami Tensei V,
Disco Elysium,
Shadowrun Trilogy.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 14th)
Just finished Dragon Quest XI S on Switch. Now I'm playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on PS4, which I've had since it released last year but kept forgetting about.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 17th)
Playing Pokemon Sword with my 7yo. I'm using it to teach him to read English as he has been reluctant to learn so far.
I'll be playing Dragon Quest XI S myself later.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 3rd)
Just seen that Shadowverse: Champion's Battle has a demo on the eshop, so I'll try to find time to try it out.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 3rd)
Dragon Quest XI S. I'm at the end of Act 1, about 40 hours in. I'm planning to do some of the Tockington quests that I have neglected so far.
Re: Inti Creates Shows Off A New Blaster Master Zero 3 Gameplay Trailer
This reminds me, I really need to finish the second one.
Re: Talking Point: Our Favourites From E3 2021
Shin Megami Tensei V, BOTW 2 and Advance Wars. I'm also hoping that Salt and Sacrifice will make it to Switch as I'd prefer to play it handheld.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 19th)
Just finished the final boss in Salt and Sanctuary this morning.
Later I'll be playing Dragon Quest XI.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 12th)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 12th)
Just started Dragon Quest XI S so I'm planning to get stuck in to it good and proper this weekend.
Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition I think.
I'd probably say this is my top five, but in no particular order:
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
Bioshock
Mass Effect 2
Journey
SteamWorld Heist
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 1st)
Playing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers on 2DS.
My wife is playing New Pokemon Snap, the kids are watching her and loving it.
Re: What SteamWorld Game Deserves A Sequel? Image & Form Would Like To Know
Steamworld Heist sequel would be my choice.
Re: Cygame's Card-Battler Shadowverse Gets A Local Release On Switch This Summer
Never heard of Shadowverse, but I enjoy a good card game. I might give it a go.

Just bought Pokémon Omega Ruby/ Alpha Sapphire for the wife for Mother's Day. We'll be starting them later.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 27th)
I have a week off work now so I'm planning to play through The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and finish Pokémon Crystal.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 20th)
Tonight I'll be playing Episode Ardyn from the FFXV dlc. Then I'll be done with FFXV.
I'll also be playing Pokémon Crystal and TLoZ: A Link Between Worlds on 2DS when I get the chance.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?
I had low expectations. It was ok, no more, no less.
Project Triangle Strategy alone made it worthwhile for me. Damn, that's a terrible working title though.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2021 Nintendo Direct
Main pick for me:
Project Triangle Strategy,
Outer Wilds,
Legend of Mana.
Not that fussed about Skyward Sword but I'll likely pick it up at some point if the non motion controls are done well.
The wife is keen for the Famicom Detective games and World's End Club.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 13th)
Cat Quest. I've had a stressful couple of weeks, time to chill with a simple game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 23rd)
Just bought a New 2DS XL to replace my 2DS that died back in 2017. Currently playing Pokémon Crystal on it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas Special)
Mainly Final Fantasy XV on PS4, one of the games I had for Xmas. Maybe a bit of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity co-op with the wife.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Ports Of 2020
Xenoblade Chronicles DE is hands down my GOTY. Only 13 Sentinels on PS4 came remotely close to unsettling it.
Re: Community: Found A Great Game On Switch eShop? Send Us Your Recommendations
This Strange Realm of Mine. Atmospheric and intriguing, also it's only about four hours long.
Re: Random: This Human-Sized Metapod Cocoon Is The Accessory 2020 Deserves
Looks great. But at 5' long it's not much use to me since I'm 6' 4''.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 7th)
Bioshock on Switch and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on PS4.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 24th)
The Crown Tundra release reminded me that I'd yet to start the Isle of Armour, which I'm now playing. I'll probably move straight on to second one when I'm done.
Re: Poll: Do You Play Your Switch More In Docked Or Handheld Mode?
Almost exclusively handheld, unless my kids want to watch me play. In which case I pop it in the dock.
Re: Poll: What Was The Best Switch Launch Game (That Wasn't Zelda: Breath Of The Wild)?
Fast RMX. I don't tend to play racing games much, and only bought it because there wasn't much else to play, but I just couldn't put it down. Brilliant game.
I actually stopped playing BOTW around 20 hours in and didn't go back for months because of how much I was playing Fast RMX.
Re: Final Fantasy IX Is Getting A Physical Release On Nintendo Switch
Don't stop now Square Enix! Would love to have physical copies of all the older single player FFs on Switch.
I'm actually surprised the eshop doesn't have the older games, considering the old Dragon Quests are there.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (Europe)
I have a physical pre-order on Ys Origin through Limited Run Games. It doesn't release quite yet though.

Re: Nintendo Announces Super Mario Remasters In Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct
I've never played Sunshine or Galaxy so I'm quite happy about this.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 8th)
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition on Switch and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on PS4
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 25th)
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. I tried it before on the Wii U and just couldn't get into it.
This time around it's really clicked for me. I get the combat system a lot better and the revamped visuals are much more appealing.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Is Coming To Nintendo Switch Alongside The Fifth Game
@RupeeClock I doubt it. I think I saw Raidou Kuzunoha in the trailer. He was in the original version, Dante was swapped in for the western release but it looks like their remastering the original Japanese release.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 18th)
Dark Souls Remastered. My wife is playing Paper Mario: The Origami King.
Re: Review: CrossCode - The Zelda-Like RPG You Never Knew You Wanted
@roadrunner343 I ordered the standard edition from play-asia, £28. I understand it's now also available on Amazon.
Re: Review: CrossCode - The Zelda-Like RPG You Never Knew You Wanted
I have my physical copy on pre-order.
Re: Octopath Traveler Celebrates Its Second Anniversary With Some Adorable Artwork
Love this game. It's the most played game on my switch, with about 140 hours on it. I still have much of the endgame content to do, so I'll need to jump back in at some point.
