What are you playing this weekend?

XENOBLADE Chronicles 3
A few hours in... it's good, I even continue playing after the obligatory over exposition that occurs in every other cutscene (why do the japoonese continue doing this in manga/anime media?).

This past weekend I finished Horizon Zero Dawn. Great game!! Loved the story and really interested to see where the sequel goes.

The sequel is more or less the same with gameplay and story. Visuals on the other hand... spectacular :bang:

Yeah it was interesting though I started it, and the opening sequence/tutorial is in the jaw dropping environment, but quickly you are out of that and back into the mostly brown desert like areas of the first game. Was a bit disappointed by that haha

I enjoyed the first game. I spend 70+ hours on the game, including the DLC frozen wild. But the gameplay from the sequel looks like the OG, hence less desire to play.

I have the same issue with dishonored. I played the main game as well as all the DLCs. But cannot be bothered to play the sequel even when its free on game pass.

I think its a combination of burnout & feeling a lack of sufficient new things in the sequels.

Definitely pace yourself then. I can relate though.

I'll probably spend the weekend making Kvally's drivatar constantly lose races in FH4 because it always cheats knocking down poles and other random nonsense I've never seen happen (400+ hours) in races.

Does it FH5 too. Lol. Stevey Wonder would hit less. Lol.
 
I got into the Closed beta for FIFA 23, so a lot of Manager Career Mode playing for me this weekend.

FH5 too.

Hopefully I can finish COD Vanguard this weekend. That is my only gaming goal. If I do, I might get some more PGA Tour 2K1 in.
 
I just bought a Board game call Animouv to play with friends & gathering. We played this in the monthly Libarary board/table top game day & enjoyed it. So I decided to buy it.

I've been jumping between Horizon: Forbidden West and Outriders on PS5.

For any of you gamers who played Outriders but got burned out. I think now is the time to get back into it since it appears there's a bug where the new Apocalypse gear is routinely dropping with tier 3 mods on them making farming for more powerful gear a lot easier. But with all the different combinations for gear its still a challenge to get exactly what you're looking for.
 

I already played a bit of Hugh Neutron online and against AI, but I plan to do some arcade mode with him in NASB this weekend. Might hit the discord and see if anyone there wants to party up. Really just looking for this weekend to be a really chill gaming weekend. Been super busy with family stuff, traveling, among other things, and it'll be nice to just chill out for most of Saturday at least.

Got bored of this pretty quick. The issue is the gunplay is so dull.
gunplay (whatever that means) is just one part of Fortnite. What make Fortnite interesting & varies is the tools (Shockwave, gapple, portals) you have for play & counterplay. Most stuctrures can be destory, grounds can be burned which add extra layer of depth you do not get in many MP shooters.

But you do you. Fun is subjective.
