Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



This weekend will be choke-full of Wang! Which means ridiculously gruesome action, impossible antics, and loooots of swagger. Remember any other gory games that tickled your fancy with their unapologetical bloodbaths and insane bodycounts? Were they extra-splattery? Did they make your shooting finger hurt? Was the amount of enemies equal to that of a small country? Whatever the reason, give us their names!


Surely you've got some gaming planned for this weekend, too. Go on, share your Weekend Playlist with us. It can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!

Looking for some additional inspiration? The GOG.com releases of the week might help:

- You can gather up friends and slice-up the foul-smelling demon legions in <span class="bold">Shadow Warrior 2</span>.
- You can scratch your trigger itch, blasting away at psychedelic fiends in <span class="bold">GoNNER</span>.
- You can dive into the depths of madness as the intrepid yet most likely doomed <span class="bold">Zubmariner</span> of the Sunless Sea.
- You can help a girl banish her inner and outer demons in the action/adventure <span class="bold">Anima: Gate of Memories</span>.
- You can go down memory lane and thrown crates at some persistent thugs as <span class="bold">Titus the Fox</span>.
- You can eliminate swarms of alien pests in the now-procedurally-generated maps of <span class="bold">Infested Planet - Planetary Campaign</span>.


So, GOGamites, what are you playing this weekend?
Dominions IV and Enclave, both on Linux.
If there's time, some Excitebike 64! :)
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux
Way back then Duke Nukem 3D was my favourite FPS, I tried the Shadow Warrior shareware when it came out but found it too difficult, and I found Blood too scary. WASD is hell on my left wrist but I found way to position it so it does not hurt that much. I'll try with a gamepad if my wrist hurt too much but I'd rather play it the way FPS are meant to be played. If I still find it too difficult, which is probably since I do not have even the bad reflex I had back then, I'll swallow my pride and put it on easy.

Civilization V Brave New World
I've yet to master it on King difficulty/ normal duration and I still haven't played any scenario except for a few moves to see what they were like. I haven't checked but I doubt my computer run can VI anyway except with a bunch of stuff turned off and in low resolution.

Dark Reign
One of the first five or 10 games I bought here but I have yet to play it beyond the basic tutorial. I'm currently reading the manual and I'm salivating at the amount of control it gives over units. I remember the review I read in magazine back then and it seemed like the best RTS ever but my computer could not run it.

Tonight I have 20GB left with my ISP before it reset at midnight so I'm binging on Netflix in HD.
Dragon Age: Origins
A Boy and His Blob

Finally decided to finish Pillars of Eternity.

Also HoMM2 Gold. I'm up to the seventh mission in Archibald campaign and enemy heroes are slaughtering me on Dagon Isle. Thinking maybe I should have avoided that one and gone straight for Roland's rural barons. But I so want dragons in my army.. Regarding blood, I know HoMM 2 doesn't show any, but crushing your enemies with nothing but 3k skeletons is pretty bloody affair I imagine. Also fun.

Deus Ex.

My game of the year every year.
Trying out Endless Legend with the new expansion that just came out, Tempest. (Really like it so far)

Also my favorites:

State of Decay

BattleFleet Gothic Armada

Cities: Skylines
I... decided to go through door 6...

It's going okay so far.
Digging Star Ruler 2...Really hard to get into (no manual, weak wiki) but with the help of the community, waw..what a game...27hours, still learning so many things every 5 minutes...

might be the game of my year, with Sorcerer King

when i need to have fun (you know, just play video games instead of trying to understand a game and have fun one of these days), Dust: an Elysean Tail, Overlord, Toybox Turbo, Mark of the Ninja and Infested Planet keep me company.
I counted 4 TBS/4x posts out of 68. So here's another one, for a change: I've been playing SORCERER KING &ndash; RIVALS these days.

A handful of bloodbaths in Inferno (2016) (the movie)
It's Dragon Age: Inquisition for me this weekend (and the next one, and the next, and probably the one after that - yeah, I can see this taking a while, at least until Dishonored 2 comes out).

DA:I is a rather violent game in its own right, but most recently I've enjoyed the delicious gorefest that is Shadow of Mordor, and it's hard to imagine another game claiming the title for "the most spectacular bloodbath".

I've been playing Titan Quest on 3 different computers since it was released and with two feral wolves with the maul ability there's blood flying everywhere. Most fun I've had since Diablo 2!
Spent my weekend with my new PS VR.

Quite impressed.
Been hammerin' away on Unreal Tournament GOTY (GOG release) on Linux Mint 17.3, via the UT99_451_Final converter for Linux.

UT_99451_Final and UT99_436_Final run UT99/UTGOTY on Linux natively; no Wine needed.

Gracias, Granni1987!


I really think GOG should come up with a way to install UT99_451 or UT99_436 for Linux users alongside the Windows installers. This would prove a major help to those just coming to Linux from Windows or Mac.
Played some Super Meatboy and Satellite Reign coop this weekend. If only the AI were better in the latter :P Otherwise it's a stellar game.
Puyo Puyo Tetris and Dragon Quest Builders.
