Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



Whoa, it's the weekend already?! That means less time spent on meeting deadlines and more time spent on meeting our untimely virtual deaths! Or building stuff. Or solving puzzles. Or scoring goals. Or doing other cool stuff that our fleshy selves cannot (yet) accomplish.

So which games are keeping you busy these days?
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 here for you:

- You can hop around the enchanting, dimly-lit rooms of <span class="bold">Lumo</span>
- You can turn hordes of monsters into piles of sweet loot in <span class="bold">Torchlight II</span>
- You can revisit a recently updated galaxy and become the new <span class="bold">Master of Orion</span>
- You can slice, dodge, and jump your way to your queen in <span class="bold">Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight</span>
- You can build unlikely machines that might or might not fly in <span class="bold">SimplePlanes</span>
- You can terrorize the streets as the uncontrollable <span class="bold">OmniBus</span>
- You can leave your mark in the architectural history of the world in <span class="bold">Caesar&trade; IV</span>
Fallout 2 at last, I guess the time has come. Not the GOG-version, sry guys ;-P
I have a sealed retail laying around here useless for years, grabbed it for only 1€ back then in a bargain bin. The former price of 1,99€ is stucked over with a "Another 50% off!" sticker. ^^ I love these boxes full of cheaper-as-cheap games.

And maybe, if I should need variation, another go with FTL and/or Secret of Evermore (per Emu).

Not sure. Probably will play some Delta Force: Black Hawk Down since on a whim I wanted to see if it worked on my computer and it does. It's a perpetual favorite of mine that I can play pretty much any time in any mood.

After that probably MechCommander 2 if I get the chance. It doesn't work on my personal computer but on a more business computer that is shared. But, maybe I'll bite the bullet and try and plow through Ground Control instead, I've already had a debilitating time with another otherwise fine game with no quicksave. Might play some Star Wars games. Jedi Outcast is not looking very likely as I keep remembering that the level design frustrates the heck out of me. I'd play Star Craft but every time I win anything the game just crashes. Figures as I don't win very often in that game.
I'll play "The Last Door: Season 2 Collector's Edition" and some "Ultimate Doom".
If I find enough time, I will finish a dvd case cover for "Day of the Tentacle".
Making your own "retail copies" is fun.

vicklemos: Mine's gonna be a pretty wacky one, since I've been digging into these for the past 2 days so in my case it's a 4-day weekend (all hail corpus christi holidays ;P)

- Prisoner of Ice - it's mind bending puzzles are wrecking my soul (great plot and voice acting)
- Finish Pajama Sam 1 - LOVELY GAME ;P
- Game and Watch Gallery (gba on the WiiU) - did a casual run yesterday and will totally play some more in 5,6 hours
- Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager - finishing the rusky playthrough
- At least try some Rage of Mages on lan (this will be the thoughest one on this list)
- Win the last races on Screamer 2 and....

.... bring up my 10 page notes filled with crude information from FEAR EQUATION. Gotta tinker more and more. This game deserves way more recognition, folks. ;P
Someone's gonna be busy!

MadyNora: Divinity Original Sin EE Tactician - Already finished it in normal, wanted to try tactician. Died 3 times at the tutorial combat :D
Don't give up. The game becomes progressively easier as you go along (assuming you're doing most side-quests).

I'm also playing in tactician (first -- and probably only -- playthrough) and, for me, after reaching level 8-9, most battles have been a walk in the park (so far --- currently level 15).

What team are you planning to use?

I get the feeling that this is either being done to get demographic data on what the people here play or to seed the forum. Not that really matters or anything. I am just getting that feeling.

In any case I will be playing Company of Heroes 2, Squad, Street Fighter 5, and maybe some Shadow Warrior 2013

Dark Souls - The first one. I grabbed it yesterday in the Xbox-sale. It's tough as nails so far, but very addictive :P I'm level 20-something, and I've reached the Undead Parish-area. I have a feeling I keep walking into areas that are supposed to be explored later when I'm much stronger.. :P
All my time have gone to Overwatch since it's release.
Sadly I think all other games will see a lot less time for the coming decade.
After finishing Tales from the Borderlands within two days, I tackled Overwatch and have been playing it for now. Being bit burned out on Dota 2 at the moment "helps".

However, next week I shall start Wticher 3: The Wild Hunt bloody FINALLY now that the Blood and Wine will be released. I am looking foward for that.
Far out, it works.

Still wish I could download it here and get the expansion.

I'm not giving up, I'm really enjoying it. The main reason I'm playing Tactician is because I found normal to be a bit easy. I never used crafting, and I bashed the heads of all bosses with ease. I basically just wanted to force myself to use crafting by turning the difficutly up :)

My Scarlett is a fire/water mage, with 2 wands. Roderick is an archer+air mage. I mainly use Madora and Bairdotr. Sometimes Wolgraff, mainly when I know that the area is heavily trapped. Jahan is my craftsman in the shelter plane. Madora and Wolgraff are equipped with grenades.
I'm getting the "Morning Person" perk for everyone asap. I'm still at Cyseal, has just killed The Ghoul That Guards The Lighthouse. I am NOT looking forward fighting Pontius, but he is next :(

Oh, and this time I did NOT give Roderick an AI. That was annyoing as hell. Scarlett and him were arguing like a married couple all game long (ironically this was my only playthrought where they ended up as lovers.....). Most of the time he f**ed up my quest by being an idiot >_>

I don't play much during the week so... same as the last two weeks XD
I'll just play these two this weekend:

<span class="bold">Legend (1994)</span>
<span class="bold">Cataegis : The White Wind</span>

I really need to go out more instead of wasting my weekends with games. :D

Aw come on! You are not wasting anything :)
Not really time for gaming this weekend. Maybe a short trip in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
