Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



The week's end is upon us! Time to rejoice, consume unhealthy amounts of food, sleep, relax, and play a lot of videogames. Not necessarily in that order. But weekends are not about order, they are about wonderful, uninhibited, guilt-free fun.

So which games are you playing this weekend to achieve the fun? Go on, share your Weekend Playlists with us. They can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!


Looking for some inspiration, perhaps? The GOG.com releases of the week provide plenty:

You can wreck the dead with your dancing routines in the new <span class="bold">Crypt of the NecroDancer DLC</span>
You can crawl into the labyrinthine dungeon of <span class="bold">Barony: Cursed Edition</span>
You can catch up to the upcoming <span class="bold">Blood and Wine</span> expansion for <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span>
You can puzzle/platform your way into the enigmatic heart of the <span class="bold">Braid</span>
You can solve this giant riddle of an island as <span class="bold">The Witness</span>
You can blow away aliens with a super-tank in <span class="bold">Uprising 2: Lead and Destroy</span>
You can build your own <span class="bold">Goliath</span> and play fisticuffs with huge monsters
You can blast into space and become a <span class="bold">Star Ruler 2</span> with the new <span class="bold">DLC</span>
You can fight under the neon lights, practicing your awesome <span class="bold">Megamagic</span>
Battlefield 4 (multiplayer) and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (campaign). Probably Morrowind, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Battlefield 2 for a while (the last one just for the old memories). Everything on PC.
Ahh, I must include Legend of Grimrock for iOS.

Starmaker: Tar is actually the worst horror in 1. [..]
Do you play the hold through TSS or natively? (TSS has unlimited Undo, which is awesomesauce for obvious reasons.)

phaolo: I'm playing what Gog has, and it offers only 1 undo, unless you're killed :'(
I hate when you discover at the end of the level that you screwed up cutting Tar..

Also, I'd need a secret rooms list, as I'm missing something. O_o
Each regular DROD product sold on GOG consists of one campaign (hold) and a backward-compatible version of the DROD engine: v3 for 1+2+3 (I think), v4 for Gunthro and the Epic Blunder, and v5.1 for The Second Sky. If you have TSS, you can contact the Caravel people (enclosing your GOG receipts), ask them for a free CaravelNet subscription (one month per game IIRC) and download the other holds into TSS. After that you'll be able to play the other holds in the newest v5.1 engine, which allows for unlimited Undo.

(Also, transparent tarstuff? Is yours transparent? Some KDD puzzles rely on it being opaque, but straightforward exploration as a puzzle had long since fallen out ot fashion.)

I posted a list of rooms per level in the other thread.

For me, it would be what I am currently playing:
1. realMyst Masterpiece Edition.

I'm over halfway through that, so if I finish, I'll probably need to start on something else. I'm thinking about Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.

I got a new gaming computer a few weeks ago, so I'm excited to finally get a chance to utilize it, now that I've graduated college.

Specs:
ASUS G752VY-DH78K
Core i7-6820HK (2.7 Ghz)
64 GB DDR4 2133 RAM
2x256 GB PCIe SSDs
1x1 TB 7200 RPM drive
Blu-Ray RE x6 speed
nVidia GTX980M 8 GB GDDR5

For any other MATLAB users out there, this laptop benches an 80 on R2016a, and 110 R2014a. Basically, I take a dump on everything in the reference list that isn't a server...
Hello, this would be the first time I've posted on one of these types of threads. This weekend I am planning on playing

1) Minecraft (I'm a little late to the game with this one, only got it a few weeks ago).
2) The Kathy Rain Demo, because I can't afford stuff at the moment
3) SimFarm (I blame Stardew Valley for that one)
I'll play these over the weekend:

<span class="bold">Cally's Caves 3</span>
<span class="bold">Chaos Legion</span>
<span class="bold">Big Action Mega Fight!</span>
Mainly try to finish Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Fever I guess. Also ordered the DS game yesterday so it should be coming in next week.

Maybe also try to make some headway in Secret of Mana too.
While there is still light, X-com: UFO defense (with the amazing Openxcom engine) to set the mood.

When the night falls, Amnesia: dark descent. Man, this is a creepy game...
Gene therapy assignment simulator


Also
1) Darkest Dungeon
2) The Flame in the Flood
3) FORCED Showdown
4) Ashes of the Singularity
5) VTM Bloodlines.... because I've never played it before.
Dark Souls 3, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, and DOOM
Master of Orion Collector's Edition and Space Empires IV
I've just started Dishonored and I'll die a few times more playing Neo Scavenger
I'll play a bit of The Solus Project probably, and then maybe something else, i dunno :D
I'm done with my finals, so I now actually have the time to either play some games or learn some new software.

Assuming I go with games, I'll play STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl. Might instead play a twitch shooter for a bit, if that game pisses me off too much.

I wish my computer had the processing power for the Metro games.

AnimalMother117: Been playing Galactic Battlegrounds too, switching between that and Rogue Squadron lately. Earlier in the week I also ran through Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, and Mysteries of the Sith. Been trying to play as many Star Wars games as possible as quickly as possible while I'm in a Star Wars mood.

ShaunRoberts: I see you too suffer from post Star Wars Week Hype
That I do. That I do.
I started DOOM 4 today, but I ended up going back to Wolfenstein 3D. Don't get me wrong; DOOM 4 is fantastic! It really lives up to the originals with its fast paced gunplay, heavy metal music, no weapon reloading, and non-stop brutality with excessive gore/violence, but the nostalgic gamer in me will always love old games over new ones. I've recently replayed every DOOM game prior to 4, so that's why the franchise switch. :)
