It's Friday my dudes and dudettes, and that means the weekend is almost upon us. Video games certainly never sleep or wait, but we sometimes have to push through these grueling five days to be rewarded with them and 48 hours of uninterrupted gamin'.
Out there on the battlefield
With the Battlefield 6 open beta starting its early access window on Aug. 7, there are probably going to be a lot of folks out there duking it out in Egypt, Tajikistan, and Gibraltar. I would know, for I am folks, and have been pouring my heart and soul into this (potential) gem of a game.
I'll relegate the rest of my opinion on EA and DICE's last-ditch effort at making first-person shooters great again to another feature on Destructoid, so be sure to keep an eye out for that one; it'll probably either scare you away from the game or have you going head over heels to download it. I'm divisive like that.
Anyhow, Battlefield 6 probably won't be the only game on the plate this weekend. No, we're going to be dining a lot of indies as well, including Zephon my beloved and Abiotic Factor, as nothing scratches that special itch as good as a game where you can scream at your friends. All in the name of love, of course.
The staff's going to be busy this time, too
But enough about me and, as one reader would say, talking out of my ass. Let's hear it from the Destructoid crew as well.
Our fantastic editor-in-chief, Rachel Samples, has been returning to Pokémon GO and plans to see what exciting pocket monsters are waiting around every corner this weekend, and perhaps every other weekend if she loves what she sees. Being a hardcore fan of Battlefield 3, she'll also give EA's new game a chance to see if it won't reignite her love for the franchise that never really impressed her since the good ol' days.
Scott Duwe's repertoire is undisclosed for legal reasons, but what I can say is that he's playing anything he can get his hands on to keep his mind off Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for the time being.
The lovely Madi's hopping onto Terra Nil following its new Heatwave update, adding a lot of new maps and content that warrant a fresh start, while the old-fashioned Hungarian editorial mastermind Luci Kelemen is keeping it traditional and sticking to chess this weekend (and every weekend at that).
But what we especially care about is you, Destructoid, as Destructoid is not Destructoid without its Destructoid readers. What will you be playing this weekend? Do tell us, we don't care if it's one of GOG's free adult games or an intricate mil-sim.
And most importantly, have a lovely weekend.
