Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



Another weekend is fast approaching and we must be ready to embrace it with open hard drives! Because even though a brief daily session can often help get us through the week, it's the long weekend ones that pull us right into our favorite gameworlds, letting us absorb all the sweet gaming juices we need to recharge our batteries.

So which games are you using to fuel up this weekend?
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 are a good start:

You can swing weapons heavy with the power of physics in <span class="bold">Exanima</span>
You can make shadows your dagger or your hiding place as <span class="bold">Shadwen</span>
You can go searching for you lost king in the procedurally-generated archipelago of <span class="bold">Overfall</span>
You can manage your drones as they sift through the remains of dead spaceships in <span class="bold">Duskers</span>
You can build robotic oddities that can survive the puzzles of <span class="bold">MechoEcho</span>
You can revisit the addictive FPS/RPG gameplay of <span class="bold">The Original Strife: Veteran Edition</span>
You can put on your <span class="bold">Two-Horned Helmet</span> and lead your Vikings to the <span class="bold">Valhalla Hills</span>
You can brave an alien planet to find <span class="bold">The Way</span> to eternal life
I'll play a bunch of Commodore 64 games via VICE, i really need to hook up one of my C64s again. :D

<span class="bold">Trooper Truck</span>
<span class="bold">Rocket Smash EX</span>
<span class="bold">Get 'Em DX</span>
<span class="bold">Manic Miner</span>
<span class="bold">Eagle Empire</span>
<span class="bold">Hessian</span>
<span class="bold">Hot Wheels</span>
<span class="bold">The Temple of Apshai</span>

And many many more.
Just one game - Sengoku Jidai : Shadow of the Shogun.

I didn't even get my list in here but I can see that we have a weekend champ ;)
Witcher 3, obviously... Yeah, looks like it's become my weekend-only game since the time I like to put into it is not as feasible during weekday nights - I've been playing the Brutal Doom campaign for the past four days in shorter bursts. Anyway, I just made it into Velen last Sunday, so that should take up a good chunk of time now.

GOG.com: Which games are keeping you company this weekend?...
That all depends. Are you going to update Terraria on sunday when 1.3.1 is released?
Will be continuing Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition.

About 72 hours into the game. Finished Cyseal (fire) and Hiberheim (water) and partway into Luculla Forest (earth).

Continuing Danganronpa 2, since I didn't have time to play it much this week.

As far as GOG goes, I think I might give Doom another go. That game was so hyped that when I actually tried to play it, my reaction was on the level of "huh, really?" but now that new Doom has come out, maybe it's time to give the original a second chance.

Be sure to at least run it in gzdoom or whatever it's called.
It's way better with some amount of mouselook and decent resolutions.
At last, here's mine!

- Not a Hero
- Alea Jacta Est
- Card City Nights
- Pajama Sam ep.1
I might make time for Duke Nukem 1. I have it installed but only bothered with the first level. (Last game I played was Tomb Raider Last Revelation but got bored to tears and am too stupid to finish w/o a walkthrough anyway.)

I heartily agree with omega64, apply a sourceport to the game with mouselook at least.

I wouldn't call the base game *great* by today's standards but I had fun.
Once again BGEE continues to keep me company, and BGEE+SoD+BG2EE are going to be keeping me company for a good long while I think, since after I clear this run through I've got a couple ideas for different characters and party composition.

I'm doing a NG Mage playthrough so I can put a similar character to my first playthrough from back in the 90s through SoD, but after this I want to do a LE assassin kit thief and try to RP as a force of murderous death, really walk in daddy Bhaal's footsteps :D

Don't forget to crank up the volume because the soundtrack ROCKS! :)

Been checking some posts from GOGers and the huge majority is pretty much like this about these awesome releases and promos ;(
As for me, well, I'll definitely play some Shadwen demo to see how it goes ;)
I think I'm going to be in a shmup mood this weekend. Probably Musihimesama Futari or Battle Garrega.

I might also play some Divinity Original sin. I need to transfer my save game though, because it's on my upstairs computer, and we're getting to the part of the year where upstairs is hot and downstairs is more comfortable. :-)
