Weekend, what are you playing?

Weekend post 76

It's the weekend again. Got any games that you want to play or beat this weekend?

Migoy: Since the PS3 version of Bioshock Infinite comes a copy of the original Bioshock, that is a game that I plan to beat. The city of Rapture and its story has always intrigued me and what better way to find out about the story than to experience it myself. The game makes me feel really claustrophobic though. Another game on my weekend list is apparently the image that I put up. It's been super hot lately since with summer being a thing in the Philippines at this time of year. I thought to myself "maybe if I play a game with a lot of water, it might trick my mind into thinking that it's cooler". Bioshock does have a lot of water but the feeling of being stuck in an underwater cit while crazy people with guns inhabit it is not exactly the most soothing of scenarios. Initially I was planning to pop in Super Mario Sunshine but I felt like playing The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker instead. God, this game is still awesome. As for the handheld department, still grinding in the Injustice: Gods Among Us iOS app. Working my way to get a Batman card so that I can unlock the Batman Beyond costume on the console version which Arlie has already unlocked via a gold booster pack..

Carlos: Pretty busy week for me but I was able to do some gaming during my time off work. Around Monday last week, Darksiders 2 went 75% off for a day and I just couldn't resist because it was only P450 for me. So I instantly bought it and started downloading. But since this was going to be the PC version, I wasn't planning on playing it via keyboard and mouse, so I went out and got a wired Xbox 360 controller to use in my PC. Darksiders 2 was done downloading, controller worked, and I love the game. The sequel has a lot of changes and improvements that make it a different game in a sense. When I ended my last session I Was 5 hours in, planning to play some more on the weekend.

Bioshock Infinite Live Stream

bioshock_infinite_migoySo I caved in and got Bioshock Infinite brand new on Black Saturday (since the malls were open).

Now I thought of doing a full playthrough of it on our youtube channel but I'm not the greatest FPS player and I know that there are a lot of things to see in Bioshock Infinite and I know that I would spend a lot of time just running around looking for stuff which would make a boring video.

Instead I plan to live stream the whole game on our twitch.tv channel. Sure the quality won't nearly be as good as compared to properly captured footage but my new PC is better suited for running xsplit so hopefully (even with my lower upload speed) the quality will be better than my previous attempts at live streaming.

So far I've played around 6 hours of the game and the story is very intriguing which makes me want to keep on going.

If I don't get to stream my complete playthrough (due to internet problems and what not) then I'm going to at least try to get the majority of my Bioshock Infinite experience live streamed which will then be archived on youtube.

HOLY WEEK! What are you playing!?

bioshock Infinite_arlie Happy long weekend! Well, for those in the Philippines at least, thanks to this week's holy week. It's a bit late to create a post like this since holy week did start last Wednesday, but yesterday is really when everybody is in relax mode for the whole week, I'm sure some of you have plans to go out with family, but I'm positive there are some, like myself, are all set to get some gaming done. What are you planning to play during this long weekend??

Carlos: I honestly have a lot planned. Since I started my new job last month, I've had a couple of games neglected since I just didn't have the time to play them. I still want to play a few games of Smite, the Free-To-Play Third Person MOBA, to get a better feel of the game. and I've yet to finish Final Fantasy XIII-2 (I'm literally in the end, just need to cross that finish line). But thanks to me getting BioShock Infinite, I'm putting that as my top priority because the game is just too darn good.

I literally got glued to the controller once I started up my Xbox 360 with BioShock inside. I'm on my second night with the game and its a pretty lengthy game, which I appreciate. Because at this point, I really don't want  it to end anytime soon. I'm playing on hard on my first playthrough and I just realized that the Handy Man is the worst enemy to face if you don't know which Vigor to use. Keep a look out for them, they are no joke.

Arlie: For this long weekend I was just planning to play my backlog games like Dishonored (haven't touched the game yet). I knew Bioshock Infinite will be released this week but I really have no plan buying it. But when I watched and read some of the reviews, I knew I have to get the game at the last minute before the malls close for the Holy Week. I got a copy for my PS3 (shown above) and it includes the Original Bioshock in the disc that you have to install first before playing. Since it is a long weekend most of my Steam friends are online, we play casual private game of DOTA 2.

Migoy: Started playing Asura's Wrath last week and I think I'm almost done with the games. The last episode I played was episode 15 and most of the bad guys are already dead so yeah. After that the PS3 copies of Bioshock Infinite come with the first Bioshock on disc, I was so tempted to buy a copy though with holy week happening, I won't be able to buy a copy at least until Saturday (given that the shops still have it in stock). Aside from that, I downloaded a bunch of free-to-play games on Steam so I might try some of them out. That and I also downloaded Surgeon Simulator 2013.
