[OT] What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?

[AsterPhoenix]

Yeah thats weird with the second Bioshock game remastered and the original is fine. Yeah the steam version I had the sound problems which was the original Bioshock which I brought years ago.

Despite what some people say I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite too which setting was different again from Bioshock 1 & 2. Yeah im looking forward to Judas a Bioshock successor.

 

[NoUseMercenary]

I just finished Bioshock and I really liked it. Overall I enjoyed my playthrough and I'm looking forward to play the second game (that I'm downloading now). I got all three Bioshock games in a bundle a few years ago, and now I'm finally playing them.

I think Bioshock Infinite is the only one I own. Haven't played through it yet though. I really like the art style in all three. Maybe I should pick up the remastered bundle and give them a go. Sounds like they are worth checking out.

 

[AsterPhoenix]

I recommend giving Bioshock a go and im not big on shooters in general I just liked it because it had a different style to lots of FPS.

I've finished Bioshock 2 now and it was a really good sequel, imo. It (the non-remastered version) "only" crashed once in my whole playthrough. I'm really enjoying these games so far and I just started playing Bioshock Infinite.

 

[NoUseMercenary]

Friends from my work got me to download Valorant, so I've been playing a lot of that this weekend.

 

[Libra-75]

...and now I've finished Bioshock Infinite. I really liked it, even though it's a bit different from the first two games. I really liked all three games, all of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. None of them are flawless, but still really good games, imo. Now I'm really looking forward to Judas, their next game.

So, the game I'm going to start playing now is Wolfenstein: The New Order.

I don't know if all regions start their Steam sales at the same time, but the Spring Sale has started here. Just wanted to give a heads up for those of you who might be interested.

 

[NoUseMercenary]

Probably will play some Valorant this weekend and debating on preordering Diablo IV to jump into the Beta going on this weekend / next weekend.

 

[Libra-75]

I've finished Wolfenstein: The New Order now and I really enjoyed my playthrough. So now I'm going to play Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. And I'm tempted to get Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus before the Steam Spring Sale ends (for $5).

I tried Wolfenstein New Order and couldn't make it out of the opening part of the game where you're in a wheelchair. Game was hard.

Did you play it on the hardest difficulty or something? I played it on "normal" (the middle) difficulty and it definitely didn't feel like it was too hard. It had sections of the game that was quite challenging, but nothing that felt impossible.

 

[AsterPhoenix]

I played a little bit of Wolfenstein New Order back when I first got a PS4 played a bit then forgot about it. Loved the original and Return of Castle Wolfenstein back in the day. How is Diablo 4 beta from what you've played?

Im currently finished Trails from Zero and playing the sequel Trails to Azure. Great story, characters and police/political type setting

 

[NoUseMercenary]

How is Diablo 4 beta from what you've played?

I had family staying with us this last weekend, so I didn't get a chance to play the beta. Hoping to jump into the Open Beta this weekend and maybe try out the Druid class.

Some impressions compared to the other games in the Diablo series would be good if theres a bit amount of differences I noticed they improved the character creator . I played a little bit of Diablo 3 years ago with friends and only did a little bit solo. Would of loved if Sony brought back the Champions series.

Yeah, this one actually has a character creator, Diablo 3 didn't even have one and I don't remember how it was with the first two games.

I'm still not sure what they are going for with Diablo 4. Are you going to be able to play it a 100% solo or is it going to be forced multiplayer? From what I've seen it seems like it's a shared world with other players and world events and stuff (like Destiny for example). Is it going to be a game as a service? If it's not possible to play it a 100% solo I don't think I'm that interested.

Yeah, I would love to see remakes or sequels of the Champions games (Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms). I still have the originals on disc (PS2).

I finished Wolfenstein: The Old Blood yesterday and I enjoyed my playthrough. I ended up getting Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, so that's what I'm going to start playing today.

Yeah looking at the sites as well as google searching on Diablo 4 it sounds like its more live service orientated. https://www.videogamer.com/news/can-you-play-diablo-4-offline/ . If anyone played the beta im interested in the impressions character creator they finally improving but wasn't sure of many aspects with Diablo 4.
Yeah im not sure I think Daybreak(Formely SOE) has the rights to the games but if not a remake I wouldn't mind getting them once Sony gets it's PS2 emulation working on PS4/PS5 since I heard they were having issues since they've only released PS1 & PSP games on PS Plus when it got a rehaul.

 

[NoUseMercenary]

Played the Diablo IV beta over the weekend. Built a sorcerer with hydras. Pretty OP. Bought the game and looking forward to it's launch in June.

Glad it sounds like it will be decent. I recall Diablo 3 wasn't the best at launch but it got better as time went on.

I'm still playing Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. I'm really enjoying it so far. I like that this one is a little bit more heavy on the story than the first game (and its expansion). The main character finally feels like more than just a generic military muscle guy with no personality. In the first game (and its expansion) he was the least interesting character of them all, but here there's more dimensions to him. The rest of the characters also get more space and is more interesting.

I remember the older Wolfenstein games the main character was the same was as you described him. I recall when I got my PS4 I played Wolfenstein: The New Order and Youngblood years ago I remember getting to a certain point had some fun with it then just never really got back into it.

I loved Return to Castle of Wolfenstein it's still fun to this day. The old one was really awesome for its time too. Been a long time since I played those ones. I did play some of the 2007-2008 Wolfenstein but forgot what it was like.

I've never played Youngblood, it looks like something I might get at some point and play.

 

[Libra-75]

I'm almost finished with Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. I've finished the main story, I just wanna take out the last ubercommander (I think I only have one left), then I feel like I'm finished with the game.

After that I plan on playing Alien Isolation. I've started playing it several times, but never got very far into it. As a big Alien (the main movies etc) franchise fan it's a shame that I haven't played this yet.

 

[AsterPhoenix]

It was such a long time ago. My backlog of games has gone through the roof. Hopefully try and finish Scarlet Nexus at some point as well as Astral Chain and
Bayonetta 3 that's just the tip of the iceberg. How is Wolfenstein 2 compared to the first one. Im mixed on the Alien Films I just felt like I didn't mind them.

Brought heaps of games with the sales recently.

 

[NoUseMercenary]

I played some Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic on Steam this weekend and completed a couple different parks. Miss the old RCT games.

 

[AsterPhoenix]

It's been way too long since I played the old Rollercoaster Tycoon games I still had the original on disk somewhere. I still have the odd PC game on disk. Older Medal of Honor Allied Assault as well trying to find my old copy of Call of Duty 1 when it was developed by Vince Zampellas team until he left after original MW2 years ago. Still had a copy of Chaos Legion and Grandia 2 floating around somewhere too.

Btw do you all mostly game on PC and PS
Me I mainly go for PC,PS4 and Switch combo looking at PS5 somepoint in the future. Really looking forward to Lost Soul Aside,Rise of Ronin, FFXVI,Wolverine and Stellar Blade. Some games i'd like to get when i get when Granblue Relink releases because of it's action gameplay would be a great benefit with a frame rate boost.

I only play on PC and PS5 at the moment. Before I got my PS5 it was PS4 and PC. The Burning Shores DLC (for Horizon: Forbidden West) is the next thing I'm really looking forward to. And in the same month Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Dead Island 2 releases. I will most likely get Star Wars for the PS5 and Dead Island 2 I got included when I got my GPU for my new PC. Other than that I'm looking forward to Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Death Stranding 2, Layers of Fear, Alone in the Dark remake, Silent Hill 2 remake and maybe a few others. And there a few games that have already been released that I would like to play at some point, like Atomic Heart, Resident Evil 4 remake, Dead Space remake and a bunch of other games that I haven't got yet. On top of that I have a back log on both PC and PS, so I really don't have any problems with finding anything to play at the moment.

I mostly play games on PC due to large game library and having an i9-12900k & RTX 3080 Ti. I play my PS5 sometimes, but mostly use it for streaming services. And then I have a PS4 Pro and Switch, but they don't ever get any love anymore.

 

[AsterPhoenix]

Wolverine im really interested in how Insomniac are going to do the gameplay for it a First Party Sony game I too was impressed with Spider Man it was good as the Arkham games which I also need to finish. I mostly use my PC for FFXIV and a couple of other games such as some FPS. Then get sales on PS physical or digital these days like you guys I never run out of games to play.I still need to try Star Wars Fallen Order too. I hope Silent Hill 2 Remake will be good. I got quite far on Ghost of Tsushima but need to get back into it.

Just thought I ask you guys which combo you use sounds similar to mine. Personally I don't see enough reason to get Xbox for me and most of the stuff on Gamepass I have.

Yeah, I don't really see a reason at all to get an XBox as long as I have a PC. Even if I didn't have a PC capable of playing games there's not much there that's exclusive to XBox/PC that I'm super interested in. I definitely prefer what Sony has to offer overall, that's one of the main reasons I started hanging out here (a PS-focused site). PC (with mouse and keyboard) is really nice for some type of games like FPS and such, but I prefer console for some types of games, even if you can connect a controller to a PC, it's not the same feeling.

Yeah even with the Activision acquisition likely being the case soon it doesn't sway me over at all. Hi Fi Rush I wish it had a demo on steam. But other than that and Elder Scrolls 6 which is likely coming to PC there's not much on Xbox end for me even Starfield doesn't interest me much. I miss the PS2/PS3 era like exclusives from Sony tbh there stuff is really good but I miss those games but there looks like some good gems and Sony self publishing titles from third parties which they need to do too. Yeah I tried my Dualshock on PC can't seem to get it working without plugging it via USB like I can with PS. Yeah for me too there are some games that are good for console and it's easier I think. I prefer Sony and Nintendo's exclusives personally over MS.
