What are you playing this weekend?

My curiosity got the better of me and I fired up the MW3 campaign this weekend. It truly is terrible. I don’t know how these guys don’t realize the reason people play the campaigns. Big set piece moments that make you feel like you’re in a military action film. Seems like they totally shelved that for these soulless open areas where you run around looting (ala Warzone..) and then hit X on an objective. Sigh.

MW2019 came close, but ultimately the new MW campaigns can’t hold the original trilogy’s jock strap. Really a shame.
 
Got more into Alan Wake 2. I'm now invested in it. Tried Falconeer again and uninstalled. Played around in Phantom Abyss now that it's 1.0. However, there are no phantoms except in one mode, which is its 'thing'. Kind of disappointed. I enjoyed early access of that game better.
 
I have tried a couple times to go back, but can't get to any part that makes me want to not stop playing. Alan Wake 1, I could have done in a single sitting. I just loved it.
Yeah I’ve gone back a couple times but haven’t played more than an hour before putting it back in the backlog

The storytelling and graphics are awesome, but the gameplay isn't anywhere near as fun and engaging as the first game. The shooting feels super clunky to me, which is crazy for a Remedy game.
 
MSFS 2020 - trying to learn to fly helicopters, but in reality just crashing into things in very entertaining ways.

Might try to finish up either AC Mirage (keep stalling on this game) or Cyberpunk.

Probably mix in some Diablo 4 as well.
 
You like your sims. Did you power wash your house flips? 😂
I always ignored them. One day I just wanted to chill and listen to some music and thought eh!! This wont take much brain power and downloaded Power Wash Sim. The rest, as they say, is history.

Got Farming Simulator 22 downloaded and ready to go :grin:

Only one I tried was the Lawnmower Simulator. It was pretty chill to play and kinda fun, just didn’t have the time to keep playing want to finish other games.

I started that on PS5. Not played much, though.
 
Lawnmower Simulator - Gave up on this. Riding round for 30 mins looking for 0.1% of grass is not fun or relaxing.

Is it a common opinion that Nioh 2 has some of the best combat out there? Completed the second mission and I felt like a goddam ninja after killing the boss. Balancing the stances and the ki pulse and knowing every tiny detail about the bosses move set.

I may be hooked. See if my lizard brain can stay on this and not drop off again.

I'm trying to finish up AC Mirage. I am still juggling too many games at once and nothing is getting finished. I'm still only part way through the Cyberpunk expansion (which I love, just can't seem to find time for).

I've been playing a lot of Diablo 4 and Flight Sim.

It is supposed to be almost 60 degrees here, so I might have to go outside and check out what kind of graphics and framerate I get out there.
