[Hisuiryu]

A proper update this time, this one's definitely an RPG ?

Mass Effect (PS4): 100 + 64 - 38.69 = 125.31

I can't blame you since most do that lol Truth be told I would say its a RPG as well having played it and I even pointed it out this might be a problem when I remember someone calling it out when I was on my reverie/zelda rant  

 

I would argue on behalf of Okami being an action RPG as well; it certainly has most of the elements we typically associate with the label.  It's probably closer than a couple of titles that do count for this competition based on the criteria from other sites calling it such.

[Jens]

I would third that. It's one of the less outrageous RPG calls on this site for sure. I would've been more surprised if PSNP did NOT call it an RPG at this point

Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth

100 + 50 + 8 + 12 - 16.22 + 50 = 203.78 x 2 = 407.56

 

Now at last done with the Utawarerumono trilogy. Now to continue Scarlet Nexus.

[Jens]

So we ran into a little problem... We wanted Persona 5 Royal as our platinum #200 and it took longer than expected. So I had to park 2 other games at 90+% so... here are three completions at once

 

#15 Persona 5 Royal

 

100 + 44(B) + 14(S) + 6(G) - 44.76 = 119.24

 

#16 Torchlight 2

 

100 + 34(B) + 12(S) + 18(G) - 15.06 = 148.94

 

#17 Ikenfell

 

100 + 8(B) + 26(S) + 36(G) - 48.56 = 121.44

 

Finally things are back in order... that was mildly annoying.

So I been curious since you have phrased it this way before but by "we" are you saying you are more then one person since while I know there is no rule "technically" that say's you can't be one but just wondering since it is a odd way to phrase it over just using "I"  ?

@Jens plays some games with his girlfriend sitting with him in the same room while he plays, so they experience the game together. So when he refers to "we", he's referring to the shared experience, not multiple people playing on his account.

@eigen-space is exactly right, that's why  My girlfriend is pretty much my spectator on weekends and super helpful guide-juggler (she likes doing it, I lucked out) when we tackle RPGs. So I tend to say "we" when it's one of the games she's watching all the way through. Nothing sinister going on, just playing a game with someone sitting right next to me.

 

In this case only P5R is a "we" game, Ikenfell and Torchlight 2 were 100% solo games for me.

Ah that makes sense now, like i said there no rule for it so its all fine and fair as it goes since I was curious Though that is one lucky spectator to have since you won't miss anything then lol

It's been a month since I beat anything that would count here. I do have my triple point game 10 seconds from being done....but because I'm Type A when it comes to the way my games in a series fall on my profile, that one is waiting in the wings for now. Got the plat for Torchlight 2 tonight and I got it close enough to @Jens that apparently the trophy rarity hasn't changed since we got the same points. T2 is a Diablo clone that felt very average overall. Did a few things well, but was mostly boring after the first playthrough.

 

You can put it on the board....YES!

 

Torchlight 2

100 + 34(34*1b) + 12(6*2s) + 18(3*6g) - 15.06 - 0 = 148.94

 

/edit

Looks like Slay the Spire counts now...just wanted to put the information for points here since I'm not sure it is on the spreadsheet right:

 

I did start it before the event and got all the bronze trophies and 1 silver trophy prior to February 1st. It ended up being 36% complete.

 

Slay the Spire Main game:

100 + 0*1(b) + 16*2(s) + 2*6(g) - 5.80(rarity) - 15 (36% complete) = 123.20

 

DLC:

1*2(s) = 2

 

Total game points: 125.20

We are up to date!

My apologies for being a but behind, but I am as up to date with the scoring as possible.

 

Many movers and shakers, but the biggeat mover was @Eternal_Rach who is now chomping at @Jens heels.

 

I also have scored some points, but I haven't calculated them yet.

[AlterArchuria]

Update:

 

Neptunia ReVerse

100 + 70 - 10.84 = 159.16 + 50 = 209.16

[Kishnabe]

 

 

Undertale= 100+ 64-48.63= 115.37

 

68.11+125.54+151.96+137.37 +115.37 = 598.35

 

If Slay the Spire Counts?=

 

Slay the Spire= 100+70-5.28= 164.72

68.11+125.54+151.96+137.37 +115.37+ 3 (STS DLC)+ 164.72 = 766.07

Genshin Impact: Mondstadt

2 + 4 + 6 = 12

 

There's the 2nd set of DLC Trophies for Genshin Impact done.

[xZoneHunter]

Tides of numenera - 100 + 6 + 16 + 43  - 1.58 + 50 (speedrun) = 213.42

Cris Tales - 100 + 12 + 22 + 33 - 6.54 + 50 (new game) + 50 (speedrun) = 260.46

 

Cris Tales was a really pleasant surprise, glad i picked it up on release.

[Laburnski]

10) Persona 5 Strikers - ( 192.86 )

100 + 67 - 24.14 = 142.86 + 50 ( Speedrun bonus ) = 192.86 points

[acasser]

I've finished the main game for Hand of Fate, but I still have about half the DLC trophies to go.  So I won't tabulate my score for that title until that's done, likely in a couple of days.

 

I can attack the remaining trophies at a sane pace because I'm not smashing into a time limit for bonus points (for once) -- it's an old game and I'm well beyond the time I'd have had to meet for a Speed Bonus.  I'm not expecting the platinum rarity to move very much at this point; if it does, oh well.

[Jens]

I guess there's no better time getting an unfinished FF game done than right now (especially with FF8 being a realistic option soon-ish), Final Fantasy Type-0 is now on the board as #18.

 

100 + 12(B) + 10(S) + 12(G) + 25 (series) - 15 (50% prep) - 15.71 = 128.29

[AlterArchuria]

Update:

 

Scarlet Nexus
100 + 70 - 23.38 = 146.62 + 50 = 196.62

[Laburnski]

11) Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD - ( 183.92 )

100 + 70 - 36.08 = 133.92 + 50 ( Speedrun bonus ) = 183.92 points

[acasser]

7) Hand of Fate

 

100 + 70 (base game trophies) - 2.21 = 167.79

Wild Cards DLC = 12

Winter Update DLC = 5

 

Grand Total:  167.79 + 12 + 5 = 184.79

 

Enjoyable, but difficult in parts -- one of the other sites rates this as an 8/10 difficulty platinum and it's one of the few times I've seen a rating that high for a game that I've played that I'm not inclined to argue with.  (A lot of 8/10 platinums are simply grindy and time-consuming, IMO.)  Fighting the RNG was hellacious at times.  But the game was a clever concept and something that kept me (mostly) riveted even if I wanted to reach into the TV and strangle the narrator fifteen times per day.

 

I see that @Psy-Tychist has also been playing this game in recent days, so I hope our noble event leader is also enjoying this title.

[AlterArchuria]

Update:

 

Arc of Alchemist

100 + 70 - 19.68 = 150.32 + 50 = 200.32

[Briste]

Got another one done with Mount & Blade: Warband. Not sure if I qualify for the speed run or not. I am the 23rd fastest time to complete, however there are 217 people to plat the game. So based on the 10% of 217, I'd have just missed it by one, but if there are 200 or less people to finish the game you only had to be in the top 25. So I'm in the top 25 finishers but not the top 10%. I'm not sure which of those two trumps so I'll let you decide....fantastic game btw.

 

So if the speedrun bonus doesn't count: 

 

Mount & Blade: Warband

100 + 50(50*1b) + 8(4*2s) + 12(2*6g) - 1.05 - 0 = 168.95

 

and if it does:

 

100 + 50(50*1b) + 8(4*2s) + 12(2*6g) - 1.05 - 0 + 50 = 218.95

[Leon Castle]

Scarlet Nexus

100 + 42 + 16 + 12 - 23.43 = 146.57.

 

Next RPG I plan to do is the 1st Akiba's Trip but before or alongside it I plan to hunt for treasure chests in Liyue on Genshin Impact so I can get the "base game" Trophies over with.

Also thinking about doing the two call-out challenge PS Vita RPGs: Persona 4 Golden and Atelier Ayesha Plus every now and then.

[Jens]

Well, with so many completions on this site even we could reach top 10%, that's rare  Game #19 and call out #2 done, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is doneso.

[100 + 28(B) + 18(S) + 24(G) - 40.22] x 3 + 50 (speedrun) = 439.34
