What are you playing this weekend, SW?

I finished Alan Wake 2 and Indiana Jones recently, so now I’m back to Dragon Age Inquisition! Played a few hours and am liking it so far. Other than that, might check out some Persona 3 Reload. How about you, SW? What are you playing this weekend?

More Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for me this weekend. Am really enjoying it.

Bought Okami for 5.bucks. 8ish hours into it.

I'm gonna finish up Call of Duty: WWII and then play Skyrim.

Started a new game of Cyberpunk, so i'll be playing that. Waiting on the 23rd for my FF7 Rebirth to unlock.

What do you think?

I want to play that game eventually. Is it all good now?

@SolidGame_basic: Drastically better than it was initially. I'm only a few hours in and haven't played it in a couple years, so don't remember much of the story. Playing it again with the Phantom Liberty DLC.

Probably gonna bounce around from game to game this weekend.

Marvel Rivals

The First Descendant

BOTW

Sea Of Thieves

No Mans Sky PSVR2

@SolidGame_basic: Way too much talking at beginning and a weird concept, but I like it.

Too easy though.

By day, I will be playing Fire Emblem Warriors with the kids (they got really intersted in the characters because of Smash Bros). By night, Stray.

I've stalled a bit on gaming this week.... I'm playing outer wilds for the first time. I'm also playing karate survivors, rogue legacy 2 and I have to start Aria if sorrow to keep my Castlevania run going.

That said... I got a book called, "Expect Great Things...the Life and Search of Henry David Thoreau". It's got my attention when I have free time.

Nothing, taking my kids on a shopping spree of sorts (to a few malls) movies, arcades, retro store, just making some more memories.

You guys and girls enjoy your gaming this weekend 👍

Been really enjoying season 6 of Diablo IV, so probably more of that.

Also got some desk mounts for my HOTAS setup, so I'll be firing up DCS World and flying some A-10 for that sweet sweet "brrrrrrrrrrt" action.

Might even strap on the VR headset for the first time in a while.

That's awesome😀

Can't say I've seen any arcades in the past few years, glad to know they're still around somewhere.

Probably start a new run of Cyberpunk, this time trying not to use any Netrunner skills.

I keep falling into the Skyrim stealth archer trap and falling back into being a Netrunner

@mrbojangles25: You haven't? That's weird for someone to say. But over here you only ever see them in malls, and while they have Arcade ganes like Daytona, House of Dead shooting games and the like, they also have a lot of other games like hoops, fishing, soccer, and other types games, and they give you a key card and you put money on it and swipe it on the machine you want to play.

It's a big place the one I go to as it has dodgem cars, pool tables and ten pin bowling in it, you lose track of time in there, oh and you gain points for every game you play depending on your score, and you can buy something with it at their prize desk.

Given the fact we're expecting Snow storm this coming weekend, my daughters and wife are all staying home as schools have been closed till next week so basically, we're all grounded. Since we're all gonna be stuck in the house, I can use this time/weekend to catch up on my backlog games as I'm still playing Rise of the Tomb Raider as part of SE Tomb Raider trilogy replaying them. Next up, it's more Marvel Rival, gonna try out the F4 even though I don't like F4 besides the Human Torch.

Oh yeah, I'll be playing Astro Bot and see what the fuse is about since my kids told me i really need to play it. I just hope we don't get too much of Snow. And like Laundy86_4 said, I'm waiting for FF7 Rebirth PC to be unlocked on the 23rd and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on 30th.

Rebirth. Hopefully, I can suffer through the bad storytelling and character design.

Some GTA3 or marvel rivals

Madden 25, Victoria 3 and Hearts of Iron IV.

Control & Marvel Rivals

Mainly The Plucky Squire on Switch. Waiting for Donkey Kong next week.

I had not heard of Henry David Thoreau until a few years ago, but I cannot shake the parallel philosophical bent with Ted Kaczynski, obviously very different outcomes but for me there's a lot of overlap between the two.

You mean the Unibomber? Lol... I've never read about his manifestos or philosophy, but I've not heard that parallel before.

Both Walden and Civil Disobedience are some of the most profound words and ideas ever put to paper... Thoreau hit me like an earthquake.

CP2077 Phantom Liberty

Rando urge to play Turok 2

Honestly, I'm not endorsing the conclusion of Ted K, (who clearly was a less than stable kind of guy) but the underlying impetus bares more than a passing resemblance to Thoreau's wish to "live deliberately".

@SolidGame_basic: Indiana Jones

Super Metroid (SNES Classic) - Beat Donkey Kong Country

Skyrim (PC)

Conker's Bad Fur Day (Xbox One, BC on XSX) - From Rare Replay

Street Fighter 6 (Xbox Series X)

EDIT: Disney's Aladdin (Switch) - Shinji's version from Disney Classic Games Collection.

Trials Fusion on the PS5 and some Call of Duty BLOBS 6 on the Xbox Series X.

FF7 rebirth. Will be going for the VR brutal challenge in hopes of getting closer to platinum.

LOTR: Return to Moria, got it on the holiday sale and haven't really played anything else since.

This weekend I plan on getting some multiplayer in with some friends. COD, GTA, Marvel Rivals and recently discovered Totally Reliable Delivery Service.

Star Wars Fallen Order. Ok so far. It's more of a Souls Lite rather than a Souls like....for now at least. I'm going to wait for Patch 8 before getting back into BG3. I may start again...I dunno.

Also maybe some HiFi Rush. Got about half way through and got distracted.

Black Myth Wukong and Tears of the Kingdom. A bit of Apex Legends and Helldivers 2 if my mates are on.

Tried out Stalker 2 on GamePass. Seems like an interesting game. Like that it has more survival elements to it. At some point I got to the first town and it seemed to have performance issues and one of the characters bugged out. This is on XSX.

Still Silent Hill 2. 27 hours in and haven't completed it yet. I am taking my time with it since I got a little fed up of how big the maps are. Also will play Tekken 8 as usual

When you say the "underlying impetus" are you referring to a document or something specific? Maybe I'll read it. Lol.

To "Live Deliberately," though not in any way Thoreau's suggestion, could definitely be taken in the wrong direction to the kind of a disturbed person... Yikes.

Thoreau put words to feelings for me. Like he descrambled the meaning of life ... It's shocking to me that he is not studied ad nauseum in school.... Walden defines freedom people only dream about.

Dark Souls 3 and Cyberpunk 2077

@TheEroica: Both texts are worth a read, Thoreau's is just eloquence distilled, Ted K's follows the same wish to pair back life to the bare essentials and both writers somewhat identify modernity as robbing people of meaning, they differ in conclusion Thoreau essentially wishes people to truly tackle life and find the life they want to live free of influence from anyone, Ted K comes to a different conclusion whereby he thinks his way is the right way and very much would like more people to live in a manner more in line with his own views and obviously we know how that ended. If you get the time I think you'll be surprised at the parallels in underlying thought but the completely divergent conclusions.

@davillain gave me an idea to check out Banjo-Kazooie on Rare Replay. Played a few hours. It’s fun, but that music is annoying lol

More FF7 Rebirth. Hopefully it's finishing soon.

I'm enjoying the Queens Blood stuff. It seems to be heavily inspired by Inscryption, with the weird found footage horror sequences between games. Certainly one of the better minigames in this minigame-collection-with-occasional-plot.

The music is an absolute earworm that will stick with you for decades.

@SolidGame_basic: Banjo/Tooie has some good music but I will agree the first game's music wasn't exactly all that memorable.

Lara is trying to get inside the compound in Nevada. The workers are not human.

Well, just added another SNES game to playthrough: Disney's Aladdin (Shinji's version).

Almost done with Conker as well! Got to SM64 that not-Xenomorph.
