This week I'm continuing through GoW Ragnarok and Baldur's Gate 3, but I totally forgot that Cocoon was dropping today, so...

Yeah, I'm gonna play that instead. Been looking forward to it for months. I loved Limbo and Inside, so anything even tangentially related to those games is an instant buy in my book.

What are you all up to this weekend?

Edit: Reminder that there is no rule in here stating that you can only discuss PS games in these discussion threads. I often see really great comments in my inbox that are later removed because someone mistook this post for being in a different community. Let it be known that all are welcome in these threads.

Playing lies of P and highly recommend it if you like soulsbourne games. Combat is a mix of bloodborne's aggression and sekiro's block mechanics. You really can't viably play with a dodge focus, at least until after mid game (where I currently am ) but if this description sounds good to you I would pick it up without hesitation.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Haven't played many soulsborne games, but I am interested in them, and Lies of P is looking very interesting.

do it coward

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

lol, I said "many", not "any". 😀

I was actually just about to post about currently playing games. You should read that.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Continuing Dragon Quest XI. I also downloaded World War Z a few nights ago so I'll check that out.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How far along are you? My playthrough is paused right now, but I just cleared the snow area, if that means anything to you.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I reached Lonalulu and got the orb. The boss was crazy. I don't want to grind and overlevel my party but if the bosses are like this moving forward, I think I might have to. 4 turns in a row, that's a bit much.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that was one of the tough one. Took manual control of whole party, with Serena completely on healing duty made me survive that.

I don't think I have come across anything close it since then. But I still have lots of game left. I have just collected all the orbs, but haven't done anything after that.

I kill every monster in any new area, but ignore most of them in any area I have been through before. Also, craft or get the most powerful equipment for all party members.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I definitely need better gear. I only have two that's fully decked out and the others just have whatever equipment I found.

I ended up needing to use one of my pep pops and use the pep power that buffs up the whole party. It made the fight a lot more fair but I can't always depend on that.

Fun game tho, I'll be finishing this one for sure.

[-] Darkscryber@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Trying to play Payday 3 but fuck it, will finish Zero Dawn 2

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I'm currently rotating between mk1, rocket league and fortnite. if I get time, I'll dive into Diablo 4 or nomanssky but I usually just get quick bite size chunks of gametime.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How are you liking MK1?

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

well it is a decent fighting game. I was a teen when the original came out, so I've played some /most of the series. I liked their rebooted story. it's not the end all be all but it's decent.

i have not done any of the online play so I can't comment on that.

i think they went more 2d and added a helper.

i wish the super moves didn't have to wait until you were almost dead.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm.. I think the previous MK was same with super moves, right? Haven't played that in a little while, but I know it's like that in Tekken 7.

Have you played their single-player mode, the one that's supposed to be somewhat like a board game, how is that?

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I missed 11 because I had X/XL so don't know.

i have only finished the story mode to get Havik unlocked. I've played a few local 1v1s against family but that's about it. Haven't seen other parts of it.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, okay.

I am not much of a MK player, but have played the story mode of X and 11, as they were available on Extra. From what I recall, in 11 when your HP got really low, it flashed red, and you could use super move with one button.

I could be wrong though, and mixing it with Tekken 7 which I played recently and has that exact same thing.

[-] PBPunch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

BG3. I keep getting sidetracked with different missions in the world and it takes me awhile to get back on track. :|

[-] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is the way

[-] argo_yamato@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The new ~~FIFA~~ EA FC 24. Probably some GT7 and maybe continuing my RDR2 play through (for like the sixth time).

Well, I don't have my PS5 for few days. So, won't be playing anything this week, but before that, I have been playing Ghost of Tsushima and Demon's Souls Remake. I originally played Demon's Souls on PS3, but never finished it. So, going back to play that and hopefully end it this time.

What are you playing this weekend?

Not PlayStation.

[-] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's fine, you playing something else? Let us know. Doesn't have to be PS.

[-] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If I play anything, it will probably be on my Steam Deck. Maybe Far Cry 6, or Forza Horizon 5

[-] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nice! I love my steam deck

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We don't mind where you are playing. This isn't "What are you playing on PlayStation this weekend?", so share your gaming adventures, wherever they take you!

Cosmic regularly mentions what he plays on Steam Deck, like when he was recently playing Dave the Diver, and I sometimes mention games I am playing on my Switch. It's an inclusive community. Everyone is welcome here! (As long as they follow the community and instance rules 😛 ).
