The Gamepocalypse is near. Stock up on your WRUP!

Another week done, still not even close to getting any of the videos from Gamescom out. Screw you CyberLink and your broken software.
Anyway, the season of games is now starting: Metal Gear Solid V, Until Dawn, Madden, Mad Max, and Gears of War are all getting released in the next 14 days. Even some indies throw their weight into the ring.
I still need to finish The Witcher 3…

But what is everyone playing this weekend?

  • Andrew (Twitter): Maybe some Double Dragon Neon and Critter Crunch. (Never played either one but I just picked them up on sale.)
  • Dante: Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and South Park The Stick of Truth.
  • Thomas (Twitter): The waiting for Gear VR2 game.
  • Greywolfe (Twitter, YouTube): legend of kyrandia is all wrapped up, so i'm starting a new slightly sleazy adventure in the vein of larry, but in space!  that is:  rex nebular and the cosmic gender bender.  also, i thought blizzard were going into rehash mode with the tavern brawls, so i wasn't expecting the joust at all.  i think that's kind of fun.  as a result of thinking there'd be no more brawls, i started in on inca, a bad/old "movie-like" game.  and larry's nearly ending, so i'll have to replace that soon.  one last lady and then the game's all done.
  • Tisnight (Twitch): Trying to finish pokemon x before my big trip in two weeks so I'll be pushing through that. Also may be playing Rocket league with Dr.s if he has time :O
  • Yoda0VGs (Twitter): Hopefully some more Dota reborn Beta. And if I have time I'll be checking out Wildstar's f2p closed beta 0.o
  • Trey Valeska (@Trey_Valeska): Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Counter Strike: GO.

    Still on my Titanfall kick, I just hit level 50 for the second time and regenerated again on the X1. Might play a little on PC too, since my son has gotten into it now and keeps taking over the living room.

    I plan to get back to Morrowind. The ashlanders need to put me to their Nerevarine tests. Man, it’s a long trek out there with no direct fast travel. But that’s part of the game’s charm, using the existing fast travel systems to get as close as you can before resorting to hoofing it.

    Wolfenstein: The Old Blood has been wrapped up so I have two games I’m trying to choose between starting. Either it’s time to replay Tomb Raider, or delve into Rage for the first time. With all the first person shootin’ that I’ve been doing recently, Tomb Raider is looming large as a break from that.

      Rage is fun, but there’s a few parts that are…enraging. Like a level where you go through a map in one direction, then have to retread it later on in the game. Then there’s the constant pop-in…I’m not sure if they fixed it ever, but when I played on ps3, everytime I turned my characters head and stop, there would be the distracting pop-in of textures.

      Then, there’s the ending of the game…which earns in my book, the Worst Video Game Ending to Date in My Existence.

    Andrew: They are both great games. Hope you had fun.
    Greywolfe: That is some vintage gaming there. Classics.
    Trey: I saw Shadowrun but held off clicking on the “buy” button. So tempting.

    For me, it was (is) Heroes of the Storm + Hearthstone. I’ve been having a ton of fun with a few buddies playing HoTS and I’m pretty excited for Monday (Argent Tournament expansion). Blizzard really knows how to pull gamers in. I wish they could give lessons to some of the other top devs/publishers out there on how to build/release a game and how to treat the community.
