The Weekend Playlist -- 8/31/12

[PR_GMR]

This Weekend's Playlist is brought to you by..... Ceekay, slacking and sucking on mufflers since 1997!

Howdy folks! Remember me.. the Puertorican with the mostest! So what will you be playing this weekend? What will be your gaming pleasure? For me, it'll be Sim City Socialon Facebook.. which has become a placeholder game for all my repressed gaming desires.. but it looks like this weekend I might be able to do some 'real' gaming: Guild Wars 2 and League Of Legends for me.

How about... you?

[CeeKay]

holy hell, it's Friday already?  man, time does move funny out in the countryside.  anyways, probably some Sleeping Dogs on the PC, and cleaning out the DVR which I just discovered has about 3 weeks worth of shows just sitting there.

[Gratch]

Guild Wars 2 has me firmly in its clutches.

[disarm]

Darksiders II...about 10 hours in and loving it so far

[USMC Kato]

Warriors of the Mech variety (online?), Transformers 360, and some GW2.

[Kagath]

BF3 360
Assassin's Creed 360 - First time playing this series. Seems interesting so far.

[Autistic Angel]

Assassin's Creed 360 - First time playing this series. Seems interesting so far.

This is the highest opinion you will ever have of the first Assassin's Creed.

Continue playing for as long as it seems interesting, and the moment you start to feel like you're just repeating the same three or four activities over and over again, please eject the disc and immediately replace it with Assassin's Creed II.  There is no point in grinding yourself to exhaustion on what is effectively a polished alpha version of the real game.

AC2 and Brotherhood are both excellent.  If you burn yourself out on The Adventures of Altair & The Same Four Quests and decide to bail on the entire franchise, I'm going to be very disappointed.

Got about 60 hours into Dark Souls on the PC and hope to get further and at least get to the new DLC.
Darksiders 2 -  I'm stuck in the arena and not sure if it is a bug or not.  The stupid bird keeps flying in circles.
GW2 - Played 3 or 4 times so far but it's not really grabbing me.  I'll keep at it though.
Prince of Persia 2008 or Forgotten Sands

[Azhag]

Kingdom of Amalur
Blacklight Retribution
trying the Firefall beta again

[Soulchilde]

GW2
GW2

PS2-Final Fantasy 12

Playing through this,and the world and bustling cities it makes me wonder how great it is and at the same time wonder why FF13 was so Linear(well until Chapter 9 at least)

[Torfish]

WoW...  it's been over a year, maybe closer to two years since I last played.  I was severely burned out on the game.  Now I have the itch again and it feels good. 

Diablo 3

[Greg Wak]

Finishing up Alan Wake. Can't wait to see the end. THen What ever I decide from my back log. Just got Ultima 9 from gog. Maybe that.

[Autistic Angel]

PS2-Final Fantasy 12

Playing through this,and the world and bustling cities it makes me wonder how great it is and at the same time wonder why FF13 was so Linear(well until Chapter 9 at least)

The games had very different directors.  XII was helmed by Hiroyuki Ito, renowned for his work on IV, VI, Tactics, and Chrono Trigger, while XIII was directed by Motomu Toriyama who mostly just worked on X, X-2, and Revenant Wings.

Final Fantasy XII is among the best console RPGs I've played, and easily my favorite game in the franchise.  Whatever secret project Ito has been toiling away on for the last few years, I'm far more optimistic about it than anything the current generation has labelled "Final Fantasy."

[Jarrodhk]

MWO, Ascension, and probably some Transformers.

[PeteRock]

After a few gameless weeks I plan to revisit Red Dead Redemption today before returning to studying for yet another week of exams. 

[MonkeyFinger]

For whatever reason, I decided to dig up and attempt to finish Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

[Harkonis]

Finally got home just now for the first time in a week.  Got a lot of work and gaming to do at home.

well, since it is still kind of the weekend.... I finished Sleeping Dogs but DVR clean out didn't get as far as I planned.

Yesterday i discovered 'Bubble' and 'Bravery',i also picked up the Zodiac spear which is the most powerful weapon in the game

Bubble means my health is doubled,and Bravery doubles my hit points,So i leveled up at the Mosphoran Highwaste one hitting everything and with my Embroided Tippets that doubles my XP,it means those one hit kills give me 2000xp and the spawns in that place are quick(even quicker if i zone out two places and come back) so i am leveling up all 6 characters every 15-20 minutes....i think i broke the game


56 hrs in,level 55

[Isgrimnur]

Saturday, I played a game of Nightfall, two games of Mansions of Madness as we figured out the rules, and a game of Bohnanza.

The rest of the weekend was tied up playing LOTRO.

[Gratch]

Spent an unhealthy amount of time in GW2 over the weekend, getting my Norn Warrior to level 35.
