Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th December)

I'll be continuing to progress through Hi-Fi Rush and Resident Evil 4 on the PS5. I also want to spend a bit more time with Toaplan Collections 3&4 on Evercade, with Batsugun and Knuckle Bash being the foci.
I might also dip into Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course and Guardian Heroes on the Xbox One X if time permits.
Have a great weekend all!

Earlier this week I finished Metroid Dread (hard mode replay) and Cuphead and so I'm in the mood for some more 2D goodness:

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course (Xbox One X)
Metroid Zero Mission (Switch)
Goodboy Galaxy (Evercade)
Demons of Asterborg (Evercade)

I might also pick up Elevator Action Returns S-Tribute in the sale on the PS5!

I think it is finally time to finish the final DLC dungeon in Breath of the Wild and also see the story through to completion in Age of Calamity. I have so many games that I'm trying to juggle that I told myself Tears of the Kingdom would have to wait, but realistically, they are all getting dropped come 12th May!
Have a great weekend everyone 😀

I finished my first run of Bayonetta 3 last night - what a fantastic entry to the series. I will need multiple runs to decide how it ranks alongside the other two (and indeed Platinum's other games) and so I plan to jump straight back in with a different combination of weapons and Infernal Demons. Top stuff.

I'll also continue to chip away at Metroid Prime Remastered, No More Heroes III, Elden Ring, and Vampire Survivors!

Elden Ring (Xbox One X) once again - what a stunning game. 30 hours in and so much of the world yet to discover. I'll be amazed if we see a better game released in 2022.

I'll also be playing some retro games, mainly Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (Astro City Mini) and Gaiares (Evercade VS). I'm also tempted in purchasing a Taito Egret II Mini!

Have a great weekend!

Mainly playing some older titles at the moment. Christmas always fills me with nostalgia, and although I'm playing some of the games on my list for the first time, they still manage to take me back to a bygone time.

Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox One X)
Jet Force Gemini (Xbox One X)
Viva Pinata (Xbox One X)
No More Heroes (Switch)
Travis Strikes Again (Switch)
Streets of Rage 4 (Switch)
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PC Engine Mini)
Soldier Blade (PC Engine Mini)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 31st)

Banjo Kazooie (XBox One X)
Sekiro (XBox One X)
Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Switch)

I'll likely pick-up No More Heroes 1&2 again this weekend - I'll definitely be replaying the entire series, including the severely underrated Travis Strikes Again, before the third game drops next year.

Have a great weekend everyone!

There simply isn't time to play everything I want to! I'll be continuing to play:
Nier: Automata
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Undertale
Axiom Verge

And I've got my eye on numerous indie games, thanks in part to the current sale:
A Short Hike
Creature in the Well
Dandy Dungeon

We've also got Moon arriving next week and the potential for a Nintendo Direct too. I'm not getting bored any time soon, that's for sure!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 11th)

Loads. Gonna make the most of the current situation and working through the backlog in what would normally have been the busiest time of the year in my role.

Doom Eternal and Resident Evil 2 on the Xbox One X are the main games. If I can prise the Swirch away from the wife then I'll also throw a bit of Fire Emblem and Devil May Cry 3 into the mix.

Will also likely have a few credits on the Metal Slug games on the Neo Geo Mini, plus a run through of Streets of Rage 2 on the Mega Drive Mini before 4 lands in the next few weeks!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 21st)

Plenty of games on the go at the moment. Lots of time at home over the next few weeks. Stay safe people:
Fire Emblem Three Houses (Switch)
Devil May Cry 3 (Switch)
Resident Evil 2 (Xbox One)
Doom Eternal (Xbox One)

Hoping we might get Nintendo Direct this week but not really expecting one

Astral Chain and Blazing Chrome mainly for me. I'll probably dip back into Breath of the Wild to continue my progress in the DLC.

I'm really tempted to pick up Link's Awakening too, but as Xmas is rapidly approaching I'm thinking of asking for it from the family. There's something incredibly comforting and nostalgic about tackling a new Zelda game over the festive period. Instead, I might replay Minit or double-dip on Hyper Light Drifter to fill this particular gap in my gaming world.

Re: Review: Astral Chain - Platinum's Best Game Ever? You'd Better Believe It

parkinho

Well, this turned into a trainwreck, didn't it?
I'm cautiously optimistic about this game; I've purposely avoided most previews/reviews so that I go in fresh. I'm certain that the baseline gameplay will be excellent from the tidbits I've read, I just hope there are enough ludicrous set pieces that elevate Platinum's best games above the rest (see the Bayonettas, Vanquish and W101).

I am mainly playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time since the Wii days, and I have to say, it is still a masterclass in pacing and design.

I am also playing Kero Blaster for the first time. As a massive fan of Cave Story, it is great to finally play another of Pixel's games. Though quite different in style and structure, the two definitely share a design where all aspects of the game are honed to perfection with very little 'fat' or 'filler'.

Beyond those, playing some Neo Geo games on my Mini with the nephew. His favourites are currently Robo Army and Metal Slug!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

parkinho

Hopefully, I'll get chance to complete a few games that I'm nearing the end of:
Earth Wars
Dandara
Atomik: RunGun JumpGun

I picked up Heart & Slash midweek, so will likely play a little later and I'm also tempted to pick up A Robot Named Fight. Indies dominating my gaming at the moment!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

I'll probably spend some time on Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice tonight on the Xbox One. I picked it up after it won a number of BAFTAs and I've been very impressed so far.

Beyond that, I'll be dipping into a number of games on my Neo Geo X (mainly Shock Troopers and Blazing Star) with a dash of Breathe of the Wild!
