Trophy Hunters, Rejoice!

[sappho-lopod]

In the 1.5 update - currently out on PC, coming early next year to consoles - Journey of the Prairie King can now be quit and resumed later, meaning that runs can be completed in multiple sessions and even across multiple days. After testing this feature on the steam version, the Fector's Challenge achievement is now much, much easier, as if you die you can just quit and restart the day. Though still a bit annoying due to the overall crappy nature of Prairie King, the biggest obstacle to this game's plat has been more or less removed, bringing the difficulty from a 7 or 8 out of 10 all the way down to about a 3.

Oh man that sounds very promising! So if I have a very lucky run let's say for the first 2 levels, I could just leave the game and make a "checkpoint", so that I could always restart from there later on?

[Frosty]

Never thought of it that way... I already added a couple of 1.5 (and 1.4 hehe) stuff to the guide, but I'll make sure to add that, conveniently, I got re-addicted to Stardew Valley, perfect timing 

[IvadNagrom]

That’s awesome! I probably won’t get around to that trophy until 1.5 releases on console. Just got the playstation version a week ago, though i’m burning through it having played the game on pc and switch before.

 

speaking of platinum being easier, and forgive me if I should post this somewhere else, does anyone know a fix for the local legend trophy (complete community center) trophy bug? I have done everything I could find but I cant get it to pop, so i may have to do it all over again on a new save. Maybe 1.5, cause of it’s random generated comm center bundles which might make it worth it?!

That's the long and short of it! The game makes checkpoints upon either entering a new screen or dying though, so if you die and quit you'll start from where you died instead, but that's easily bypassed by simply resetting the day.

So it's good thing, that I just got the trophy today ?????????????????????

[ChiefMichigan]

That's a very good thing, but it's still probably too hard for me. I could give it a shot once the update comes to consoles early this year.

[RamSham]

YESSSS! Now I can finally plat my favorite game of last gen! I could get all the way to the graveyard stages before being overwhelmed every single time. This will give me a fighting chance.

[hittheroadbucky]

Realistically, I will still never get that trophy ?

Once again, another "Difficult" trophy being nerfed via patch. 

Participation rewards are great.

This wasn't good difficulty. It was dumb, bad difficulty.

[GamerCrazy2]

It works!! I got the trophy today with the 1.54 update!! I'm so excited to actually platinum the game now and have fun! ?

[TEKGUL1881]

Sorry, I know a lot of you are gonna hate this comment, but they shouldn't patch these kind of things, makes the trophy pointless to those that got it legit.

 

Not being elitist just a kick in the teeth is all.

I understand where your coming from. A lot of games are even starting to have accessibility options like control for immortality and one shot kills, aim-bot and 100% energy regen. All lets you get trophies. Some games though like this one for stardew, i just dont think this should have ever been in the game lol. Im okay with the one for beating it but flawless was just out of place for this game.

I also think this is more a side effect of them just enabling Journey of the Prarie king to save your progress. Its not a direct nerf purposely for trophy only. It was a game feature that was lacking since release, you could never save and quit.

That's a great news, hope it won't be patched back again.

The problem is, you can't buy the game in Europe on PSStore, it was delisted due to the age restrictions, dunno when it will be back.

[D-E-U-S-X]

  I played the game in the most entertaining and satisfying way for me and that was without item glitches, money exploides or help from the developer.

This game feature(save and quit) makes no sense in an arcade game like Journey of the Prairie King.

Probably a stupid question, but how do you exit the game to return to a level? ? touch pad didn’t save my progress but I don’t know if that’s because I was playing it at the saloon ?

After having a good round, you leave the game via touch pad as soon as your character enters the next level. Then you'll have to go to bed and save the game so you can reload it if you fail.

I did that for every single stage because I was too afraid to do 2 stages at once and I also reloaded the game when I had less then 10 coins in a round.

Took me 2 hours I think but I had to reload a lot of times

Am I missing something here? I don't really get the annoyance some people have for a trophy difficulty being nerfed later on down the line or worse - begrudge people for getting it when it is nerfed. It doesn't really take anything away from your effort if you got it before the nerf when it was harder to achieve. You still get the completely arbitrary effort cookie and all that. It shouldn't really affect you at all should it?

 

Difficulty is largely a subjective topic too and a nerf only makes your effort prior to the nerf pointless if you decide it's pointless.

Entitlement and bottled-up anger, mostly. Same people who will grow up and cry about younger people 'having it easy nowadays'.

It's not a matter of "legit", per se, but that's not to say I don't sympathize with you.

Well, for a lot of people, they stick with what is a pretty shitty minigame for the sake of getting a trophy that the devs put in for that minigame. But then (often after a significant amount of time has passed), the devs suddenly decide randomly that they'll make that shitty minigame quite simple. 

 

I mean, Squeenix has a ton of shitty minigames in their games. People suffer through them, because Squeenix also often puts trophies in place for beating these minigames. I'm thinking, e.g., of chocobo "racing" in FFX, or jump rope in FFIX. These games are poorly made, poorly implemented, and just suck. The feeling of accomplishment for them is solely because there's a (poorly thought out) trophy tied to it. These people would have been delighted if, say, the devs made the minigame better, or simply didn't tie a trophy to it.

 

Now, add to that the fact that this update is coming out, what, years after the game was released? I think it's kind of lame. I don't begrudge anyone who gets that trophy now; in fact, I encourage them to do so. If I ever play this game, I'll certainly do the same.

 

But I do question the devs, who could have fixed this months, if not years, ago. It's not like people haven't complained about it for some time.
