You could probably combine Journey and Brothers: Tale of Two Sons during one weekend. I played and enjoyed both games on ps3.

Now, depending on your situation there could be big plus for this games. If your husband is a gamer too you could co-op this games together. Brothers you could couch co-op on one controller, but Journey could be a problem. You will need two PS4's and since there's no matchmaking it could take a little bit to find each other at start of the game. Keep in mind that you have to co-op Journey with same player for 100% anyway. 

When i'm already recommending games when you start your plat race think about Hellblade. Combat is similar to last God of War game. It's very strong story driven experience, with nice puzzles and absolutely brilliant audio design and great acting. Try to avoid spoiler. Less you know about the story the better. Definitely one of mine all time favorite and best indie game i played.

Meanwhile i will be "relaxing" trying to finish Resident Evil 2 with Claire, on Hardcore, with 3 saves and under 2 hours (B/2nd scenario) to unlock weapon i want. 

If you are into movie-like games (not CYOA, just a game that feels like a movie), Observation is a short game that I enjoyed. Unfortunately, whomever I recommended it to thought different.

@Masamune, the backlog did take quite a while to put together at first, but it's been pretty easy to maintain so long as I remember to update it when I get anything new.

@ihadalifeb4this, husband is not a gamer, though I can occasionally rope him into playing with me (hence the unfinished Overcooked lol). The person that originally recommended Journey to me said he'd be willing to try to co-op it with me.

@eigen-space Godamn thats just awful.

 

Sorry to hear that, maybe you just need to take a little break from it for a while? Did you even manage to take out any of those super bosses? Because beating the first one is probably the hardest part when starting that section of the game (since they'll be like 3x your level).

& as for your lack of EP, trying to farm that much from normal battles isn't worth it, you'll get all you need from said super bosses since there'll be times you can get a 1000% multiplier in some battles (just for a reference, I had over 27M after I was done with everything), if you don't have the EP to make the top tier abilities yet, try settling for the 2nd or 3rd best.

@Masamune, I may try this game again in 6+ months or so. I usually come back to games that I think are still doable with a little effort, but right now I'm just pissed. I feel like everything I do is a waste of time.
I was able to get two of the Gods, and I was also able to get one of the Boundary Plane bosses (the God battles took like 30+ minutes each of distracting with a tank and building up SP, and the Boundary Plane boss seemed like luck). Attempted one other God and the other two initial Boundary Plane bosses but got my ass handed to me. I don't like the idea of just grinding one battle over and over, especially when said battle takes 10+ minutes... it just doesn't feel like a fun use of my time.

I currently have 2 999ATK, 2 750ATK, 1 700MAG and several lower-tier abilities, but it doesn't seem to help. The only thing I can think of doing is maybe putting all of the abilities on one person and make a super attacker, but I'm just out of ideas beyond that.

And I literally just found my first gray hair on my head. I'm 31 years old and this game made me grow gray hair. Thanks Agarest.

Yeah, I saw that it said MMO a while ago and was like, "Ummmm... what?" Like, the ONLY thing that I can think of is at the Adventurer's Guild you can view the record holders but that hardly is MMO.

@Masamune.... oh man... I just compared our profiles and you also have the platinum for Dungeon Travelers 2? Seems we like to torture ourselves in the same way with these "sexy", grind-heavy games. I gave up on Dungeon Travelers though because I got stuck at one of the last bosses (not either version of the final boss, but the one right before those). There's a lot less room for error with party make-up in that one, I think... so unless we have the same builds, I don't know if I could even ask for advice or help

Dungeon Travelers... that was definitely not my favorite dungeon-crawler, battles were needlessly tedious, & the bosses even worse (relied too much on luck that they wouldn't spam some cheap AoE attacks). 😒 I didn't even bother doing the post-game, for the 20K kills trophy, I just farmed trash mobs for 10+ hours. 😑

Basically to have a chance, you'd need to grind levels before every boss fight, & make sure you have the best equipment available at the time. I can tell you what jobs my final party had, but I doubt it'll help much. 😅

Mefmera: Papillon - Yae: Dark Lord - Ist: Etoile - Eletricia: Witch - Melvy: Bishop

Yeah, we definitely used completely different teams. I think the only one that we have in common is Melvy.

For the multiple boss fights, I'd usually try to lure them together so the AoE attacks in my combos (usually magic) would at least hurt the others some. Always skip your first turn too to build up AP, unless you know you can take out a specific enemy in one turn.

If you have some TP/EP to burn, you could get some Halper Scythes & convert them to some ATK +750 active skills if your ATK is too low.

Currently no TP or EP to spare, unfortunately. Could always grind out the TP but nowhere to easily grind that much EP.

I'm not getting many attacks with AoE. A couple of the Extra Skills, but rarely any combos (sometimes I'll get lucky and Winfield is facing the right direction to get multiple enemies with his gun).

The main one I can remember is Stardust, I think I had 5 or 6 of those on my final party (has a 2 square range, & is good for racking up extra hits), that's a good one to just spam.

For combo AoE attacks, it can sometimes be hard to predict how they'll go (since your characters may jump around during the combo to get in range, & for physical types, it depends on their weapons). Earthquake is a good magic combo (3 range, & lowers VIT/AGI), as long as your enemy is vulnerable to Earth attacks.

I grabbed it, looking forward to it. Gonna try my best to make myself sick of it in the 30 days so I don't spend more $ lol.

Eigen, if you play, maybe I could bard you a tune or two

@Dreggit, I don't play... haven't ever enjoyed MMOs in the past so I haven't even tried this one. Thanks for the offer though

Verrrrrry subtle lol

It's an RPG that is set in the late middle age, in Bohemia after the death of Charles IV to be precise. It adopts real historical events, so it is not a fantasy medieval setting. The main character also is not some sort of super hero; he is just a commoner who has to learn the things he wants to do - like reading, picking locks, or gaining fighting skills (which is why I thought you might be interested to play this - medieval sword fighting).

A fair warning, though - the RPG aspect that tries to emulate reality can be off putting if you're not into that sort of game (e.g. you most likely won't win fights when heavily outnumbered unlike in so many RPGs), and the game can be quite buggy. If you are a 100%er, you definitely want to do some research beforehand.

@Masamune Love the waifus and I can get behind the strategy elements too... The only major turn off would be the grinding. That's what usually kills it for me. xP Thanks for the heads up, though.

@Honor_Hand, yeah... you'll probably want to look at videos of the battle system to see if you'd be able to enjoy it. Every battle takes 5-10 minutes so even a small grind for levels/money/etc feels like a super long time.

And what's a "Project Platinum Challenge Gate"? And what's a "Project Platinum Hub"? These things should really be distinguished in the General Info thread....

Project Platinum is the OG, and PP Plus is like version 2 of the original PP, taken over by someone else. 

Interesting... I feel like they should just lock the old thread if someone has taken over rather than rename it. Eventually there will be "Project Platinum Double Plus" by that logic 🤔

Wow... that's.... that seems like cheating 😂

Guess I should just stop worrying for now and wait til post-game to take things seriously.

Just wait till you see how some of the post-game bosses are, You almost have to have your ATK like that to have a chance against them. 😅

😰 oh man... what have I gotten myself into?
