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>
Doom 2016 and Metal Gear Solid V TPP on Xbox One
Let's see...
Pony Island with my girlfriend, Doom in small potions and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition.
Happy gaming to you folks!
I've beaten Shadowrun Returns and started Gunpoint.

psadler: Where did you get it half price?

Navagon: CDKeys.com. It was near enough half price with a discount code. I doubt the code still works, but it's £27 now without it.
Ah OK thank for that. Unfortunately I just found out that it has no proper save system which means it's a pass for me.
I'm wrapping up all the side stuff in Pillars of Eternity, about to start the DLC!

Hey does that page require a phone number because it says that's one of the 5 steps you need every time you buy something? Oh. It's OK I just checked the small print and they do require your phone number. Oh well. Another pass.

Going way back with Betrayal at Krondor. That game is still fun, and the music is brilliant!
I just finished Baldur's Gate 2 - my first time ever, tomorrow I'm going to start ToB. Crypt of the Necrodancer every now and then, trying to beat lvl 3.
I've been playing FTL and Transistor.

FTL is my standby; I've got hundreds of hours into that game.

Transistor didn't grab me the first time I tried it, but I went back to it and am loving it. Once I figured out the tactical strategy aspect of it, it's just a great game.
Just got home after spending the whole weekend at my sisters, babysitting one of her dogs and two cats.
Downside is no computer but upside is a brand new kitchen which is a joy to cook in.

Now I will get a short time of Fallen Enchantress in and maybe finish the map I have had fun on for 3 days already, winning of course! :)

guppy44: I agree. They're great for popping in and out of game play. However, I have a bit of a curse where I play each title in a series in order. I just finished playing the campaigns of Call of Duty 1-Black Ops III yesterday. It took a couple of months to get through them all. Last year I played every Tomb Raider from the original 1996 to 2013 make. Now that took forever! Unfortunately this has prevented me from booting up many of my RPG titles because the time it would take to complete them all seems daunting. I need to finish Fallout: New Vegas before I can start 4, beat The Witcher 1 and 2 before I can start 3, the entire Mass Effect trilogy, all Borderlands, etc. I know they're amazing games and I'm missing out, but it would just take so much time. :)

mk47at: Crap, don't remind me of Fallout: New Vagas. I still haven't completed that one. I'm not quite sure why, because there are lots of things that I like about the game. The atmosphere is great, especially the music and sound design.

It's too bad that it has some technical problems that break my immersion: The combat mechanics feel strange and underwhelming. The physics engine is bad; some people and items are stuck inside the ground. And the game tends to crash a lot and it even gets stuck during save game loading.
I beat Fallout 1-3 (including Brotherhood of Steel for Xbox) a few years back and sunk around 180 hours into getting 100% trophies in Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition. I personally love Fallout 3 and have read many times that New Vegas is even "better". I honestly want to play it, but the thought of a few hundred hours into New Vegas Ultimate and 4 Complete just prevent me from starting them. I will. I really will. But when... :)
Just finished Echoes of Aetheria and Asdivine Hearts, now switching between Life is Strange and Stories of Bethem: Full Moon
I've been playing Rebel Galaxy. Slowly making my way up the trade guild ranks. . .

It gets so dark in that game that I can't tell what I'm doing.
I started playing Okami HD and Wii Sports Resort. No PC gaming for me this weekend.
