    Just felt like sharing a thought that came to mind while playing The Witcher III…

     

    I must admit, I have had a lot of trouble getting into this game. I don’t play that much nor that often and for the first hours I was really struggling with the gameplay mechanics, the vast inventory, getting involved into the story, etc. At some point I really felt like quitting, but was at the same time very uncomfortable with the idea of leaving it standing at a miserable 5% achievement on my profile.

     

    So I decided to keep trying for a while, just in case. And I’m glad I did – now that I’ve understood the combat system and am more familiar with the interface, now that I’m further into the plot, I’m realizing what a damn masterpiece this game actually is. I’m really thankful I did not put this game back on the shelf when I was feeling like it.

     

    Which brings me to the point: I would probably have missed one of the best games of the decade if it hadn’t had a trophy list attached. So – thank you, trophies!

    Were Themes something that never really took off on the Vita? Or are the more widely available on the PS3 store?

     

    Wouldn’t know about how it was back in the days when Sony actually cared about the Vita - I’m not that old...

    To all our friends down here that keep posting, month after month, that PS Plus games are shitty, that Sony sucks, that everything is sooooo much better on X-Box, that obviously if a “free” game happens to be a good one then obviously they already own it (or worse, bought it recently at full price), that they will never, ever renew their PS Plus subscription and so on… this thread is for you.

     

    Down here you may feel free to pour out everything you wish to scream at the face of any Sony executive you might think of, for good and all, so when September and further month’s line-ups will  be revealed then the related threads may be focused on discussing the actual games between people who just seek constructive & reasoned feedback about these. Enjoy yourselves & thank you! 😊

    Anyone any tips for the Veyron?

     

    I had trouble with the Veyron as well on my first attempts. It’s been a while now so I can’t be extremely specific but for me the trick was to hit the brakes rather early and enter slowly in the curves to avoid understeer, then hit the gas very progressively before even reaching the rope point (I hope this actually means something in English, I had to google translate this one 😅) 

     

    Keep trying, once you’ve understood how the car handles and learnt the track, it’s really doable. And use your ghost to see where you are gaining or losing time between your tries, it really helps understanding your mistakes. Good luck ;-)

    Last week, after 10,600 trophies I got my first "no timestamp" trophy and it sucks.

    I took my PS4 away with me to play CTR on release day, played a few hours and unlocked 50% of the trophies. Then I noticed the first one had this problem.

    Back home I thought unlocking it again on my PS4Pro would fix it, but it kept the original unsynced data messing up everyhing on my profile.

    The weird thing is that I got 2 trophies at the same time, but only one is missing the timestamp. 

    I wonder why they haven't figure out a way to fix this.

     

     

    That’s weird, once your machine has been connected to the internet it has its internal clock set - even if you take it somewhere with you... 🤔

     

    I have only one, my very first trophy - couldn’t wait to start playing 😉

    Also shouldn't Trackmania be on here? That's basically all time trials and the black tracks there are quite difficult.

     

    I quite agree, and in my opinion the Black Series in Trackmania Turbo are quite close to GT5’s Vettel X Challenge for the first place - incredibly tricky and difficult just to manage to finish your first lap 😬

     

    Like many people above, Zico in WipeOut HD is far more manageable in my opinion, it’s a 30+ second lap you « just » need to master perfectly...

     

    PS - can’t tell about CTR, it’s the only one I haven’t played. Is it worth the time and money?

    Except for a few lucky, quick drops, I had to grind almost all endgame items for hours. Mana palace, Pureland, Mana fortress - I spent hours in each area, killing the same foes again and again. Of all the games I have played, this one  sure has the dumbest and most boring trophy  list...

    Well it all depends on whether this games looks appealing to you or not, doesn’t it? 😉

     

    More seriously this one looks pretty good with very original mechanics and ideas, reviews are globally very positive and full price (50 €) is actually already cheaper than the average AAA release. So in my opinion the answer is yes.

    1) Furi - This game is fantastic, if you haven't played it then do so, if you played it and didn't like it, you're wrong. But jokes aside, this game is amazing. I know it got a bit more of a push from being a PS+ title but I don't think generally it really gathered all that much attention. The gameplay is amazing, the aesthetic is nice and the soundtrack is awesome.

     

    Not sure that we can call Furi actually underrated, I has had very positive feedbacks and quite decent sales, plus a now very strong community around it...

    I haven't played enough on PS4 to be able to list five games here but fully agree with many people here about The Order: 1886 - it's sure not flawless but I spent a very pleasant time on it. Story's interesting and I found the characters very well developed, with a pretty good voice acting. And last but not least, it's a damn technical masterpiece, the first ever game I can think of that actually could be called photorealistic. Very underrated and very severly judged in my opinion, but all this is soooo subjective 😉

     

    I have another game that comes to my mind but as I have not played it myself, I might be wrong about it: Echo. I had heard a lot of positive comments about it and had a look on some Youtube videos, it looks quite interesting. And yet, less than 600 owners on this site to day... Is it that bad?

    #27 – Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

     

    1L0dd37a.png  

     

    Difficulty = 3/10

    Enjoyment = 7/10

      

    I have had Hellblade on my to-play list for quite a while and I’m glad I eventually bought it, as it’s definitely one of the most interesting experiences I have played recently, in spite of its being far from flawless as well.

     

    Clearly the overall nightmarish atmosphere and ambience is a real success, with a special mention for the incredible work achieved on the sound design. You really want to play this game with a headset to fully experiment the symphony of voices and whispers that echo in Senua’s head all along the short but tense and well-led adventure.

     

    Technically the game is also very well done, graphics are neat and animations fluid, with no bug or glitch as far as I’ve been concerned. The combat system, based on dodging and parrying, is interesting and challenging although I regret the blatant lack of variety in the enemies and the lack of proper bosses (I can only think of one that really was apart from the regular opponents.) Eventually this makes all combats look the same and becomes boring if you play long sessions.

     

    All trophies are story-related except for one based on a reasonable amount of collectibles that will demand a second playthrough should you miss something, as there’s no chapter select and many points of no-return. Some are well hidden but any guide will make it a breeze. All in all, a quite satisfactory experience that is quite worth some of your time and money.

    Currently sitting at a decent 85% with 23 uncommon-or-below plats out of 27. Honestly I would have expected to have more as I'm far from being a hardcore gamer. The 4 easiest obviously include some Telltale stuff, as for everyone else posting in this thread...😅

     

    Below the guilties:

    • Burly Men at Sea (PS4) - 67.85%
    • Spare Parts (PS3) - 59.74%
    • Tales from the Borderlands (PS4) - 53.97%
    • The Walking Dead (PS3) - 50.02%
