What are you playing over Labor Day weekend?
- Thread starter Strike
- Start date
After finally clearing a run in Hades after about 40 tries... I'll be back in Hades most of the weekend.
Played through all of 12 Minutes last night. Interesting game. I'm thinking I'll finally get around to starting The Ascent.
I missed this - please don't start Other M.
An Open Mind wont save you...
Started this a couple days ago. First foray into the series and boy is it nuts lol. Really loving it so far.
Can't bring myself to buy another game until I work my way through FFXIV's story. So I'll probably be on that!
I'll be finishing up Siege of Paris for AC Valhalla.
Been a looong road with Valhalla. Took a break in May when RE8 and Mass Effect came out. It's...good. It's a by the numbers, well-made game that is often mildly entertaining, sometimes really entertaining, but at the end of every night leaves me a little exhausted. I consider it a disappointment compared to Odyssey, which I loved, and the 140 hours of playing didn't really fly by like it did with that game.
Having said that, the DLC has been better than the main game. The streamlining of Mysteries and collectibles has helped a lot since I think Mysteries largely suck - especially compared to Odyssey's side quests - and the stories have been interesting. Siege of Paris I also love the Black Box missions so far, and it's honestly a boon that its comparatively shorter since at this point I am certainly ready to be done.

Friend and I got into R6: Siege this week and it's hilarious how toxic the game is (Xbox Live specifically), reminds of CoD lobbies from high school. Otherwise I'll finally be putting in some real hours for Guilty Gear: Strive on PC now that I've got a new desk.
Monster Hunter World, Killer Instinct 2013, and possibly finish Psychonauts 2. Once I finish Psychonauts 2, I can put some time into Killer Instinct's Shadow Lords mode and get better at playing the game.
Hoping to finish this up over the weekend on Series X, and then maybe start on my play through of Horizon Zero Dawn on PS5.
I'm (uncharacteristically) multi-tasking a few games at the moment:
- Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. Looks even more amazing on PS5 and thank god they finally fixed the Japanese lip-synching.
- Returnal, because I will beat world 3 if it kills me.
- Subnautica, which I've loved way more than I expected, and
- Greedfall, if I'm really bored.
My wife commandeered the Xbox to play blue dragon so… probably FFIX moguri on my pc? It might as well be a new game with the changes it makes, fucking insane that SE can't do shit right.
Yesterday was a lot of into the breach because I hate myself.

If I can actually find any free time, I'd love to knock out a good chunk of the MSQ. I'm in the first couple hours of it right now - just got to the new major city - and am having a really good time. Been away for a week or so celebrating my kiddo's birthday and other things. But I'd really love to be able to start Shadowbringers by the end of the month.
Im right in the middle of the MSQ for Stormblood! Also just started Skyward Sword
Nier Replicant on PS4 Pro. I bought the original for PS3 god only knows how many years ago but never played it. I bought Automata over three years ago but kept insisting I go back and play the original first, so it's still sealed. I'm about 5 hours into Replicant, so far it's pretty damn meh. But at least it feels good to finally just get on with it after all this time.
Horizon: Zero Dawn for the New Game+ and Ultra Hard trophies. I might start skipping lower tier sidequests and focus on the main story, as the rewards seem not worth it. It looks incredible in 60fps on the PS5.
Far Cry 3 Classic has been my "podcast" game for the last couple weeks, but I've completed all the outposts and most of the side content, so I guess I'll probably just finish off the story and be done with it.
I'm pretty damn far in Psychonauts 2 I think. I just unlocked the final ability, so I should be able to wrap that up too.
I don't really have a "next" game lined up yet. Maybe I'll make another attempt at getting into Divinity Original Sin 2, or else I should really play Greedfall since it seems like it probably won't stay on Game Pass that much longer. That still leaves me an opening for another "podcast game"...I was leaning towards AC: Valhalla, but even with a podcast going, I just can't get into it. I'm not sure what I'm going to fill that void with yet.

lmao
The thing is I'm on a Metroid roll due to the hype for Dread and I recently played through Super Metroid, Zero Mission, Fusion, Samus returns, Prime 2. All great games. What makes me tempted for Other M is the fact that i hear it's pretty short (~8 hours) and it's the only one I have not played yet
Hoping to finish Doom 2016. Not sure what else. I just downloaded Titanfall 2 this morning, so maybe that will be up next.
I have a five day weekend since I am burning some PTO time Tuesday and Wednesday!
- Assassin's Creed Origins (PS5)- Started this the other day. People weren't kidding when they said it was a slow start. Luckily it is starting to pick up.
- Halo 2 (XSS)- Started playing this with my brother online. Only 4 missions in but having fun to this point.
- Mario Golf Super Rush (Switch)- Just casually playing a few online matches every night.
I just bought FF7 Intergrade a couple weeks ago and only Had a Chance to play a few min so far. Excited to get going on that. Will probably download Psychonauts 2 soon as well and give that a go. Been picking away through the AC Origins dlc stuff for a while, will continue that and I decided I'm gonna platinum it so I gotta do a few annoying trophies I didn't get playing through normally (kill 5 poisoned ennemies in 30 seconds, kill 30 enemies with exploding jars, mop up a few question marks etc.) Was gonna do the dlc and discovery tour for Odyssey eventually too and they just patched it so might try that out.
Just finished Sakura Wars. About to start these 3 games
God of Wars (PS5 patch)
Monster Hunter Stories
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Not sure which one I should play first

Dead Space 2, Shadow Complex.
Also just finished this one, Psycron. Very Metroid Fusion inspired. Might give it another run or at least go hunting for 100% item.
