I'm just sitting here trying to figure out why all of my games are counting except for #5 Day's Gone (9035) which I got June 2nd. Everything before and since has been counted. I assume its a small mistake and not evil shadowy collusion ?.........?

[Spinacheq]

Yeah, another one done for me.

 

Trails of cold steel 3, is an awesome game and has very well deployed story.  Well it wasn't my first choice for my number 6 slot as I was hoping to have it done before the event started, which of course I underestimated the number of hours spent on the game great lol.  Mental note for the 4th game, going based on the number of chapters is not good indication of how much you have left when you actually want to read/watch the story parts. lol.  At least I was able to make it my 75th platinum so I am still happy, that and I enjoyed the game from start to finish.  I want to play the 4th entry, which is sitting on my shelf, I fear if I start it before this event is over I will not make it to the badge.

Third game completed with Far Cry New Dawn. Quick and fun game besides the anger management trophy.

[damcrac5]

Second Update:

 

2 -  Just like ME1 for PS3, this was an accidental sync to my account and need to be cleaned up.  Not a terrible Expandalone, but something I would not have done without it accidentally finding its way on the list.

7 -  I heard a lot about this game and gave it a shot.  Sadly, I didn't get into as much as I thought I would out the gates and stopped after getting the plat.  Not sure how I didn't really enjoy this as I played it on Vita thinking it is perfect for the handheld.  

9-  The Legendary Edition.  While I completed the PS3 ME1 via an accidental sync, I went ahead and snagged the LE and knocked out ME1 and 2 so far to this point.  What a great game.  Happy I took my foot off the gas on Lego Jurassic World so this can be my #9 on the list.  Insanity seemed easier this go around with all the additional ammo drops.  1 playthrough with an imported character.

 

Overall Completions:

1 - Mass Effect (PS3) // (PS4)

2 - inFamous: Festival of Blood (PS3)

3 - God of War Ascension (PS3)

7 - Undertale (Vita)

9 - Mass Effect 2 LE (PS4)

 

Upcoming works in progress

0 - God of War 3 (PS3)

8 - Mass Effect 3 LE (PS4)

 

Good luck finishing your own "By the Numbers" lists.  Been a blast so far!

You stumbled upon the existence of the Illuminati and to hide our evil schemes I'll look into it and fix it when I'm back home in a few hours. Because I'm 99% sure that you're right

 

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't. Your host was faster, so all credit to her 

 

Edit #2! I don't feel like double-posting, so here's my next number!

 

0 - Final Fantasy 7 Remake

1 - Salt and Sanctuary

2

3 - Valiant Hearts

4 - Spirit of the North

5

6

7 - Block-a-Pix Deluxe

8 - Ys IX: Monstrum Nox

9 - SaGa Frontier Remastered

 

I talked a LOT about this one recently, so for once I'll try keeping it short. I did not like it.

Playing it alongside Ys 9 for a long time made me compare both. Ys 9 looks kinda trashy (for PS4 standards), but everything is aimed at gameplay fun. The speed, the combat, the manageable grinds, everything. In FF7 everything is aimed at spectacle and graphical awe and I just don't really care about it all that much. Does every boss fight need to be interrupted for 2-4 cutscenes just so it can cause a few explosions for AWESOME visuals? I'd say no. Should they have addressed the fact that they turned the most linear part of FF7 into its own game and not just add a few boring side quests? I'd say yes.

It's not awful by any means, that remaster took some crazy effort. The gameplay is OK enough, the story is... well, it already existed  But its focus is just not on things I like and care about. It would've been OK without the second playthrough, but the necessary playthrough makes me glad that it's over to be honest.

 

It does look rather good though, to be fair...

9 - 2619 - Transistor - 21%

 

Finished the platinum on GTA V! I've done this before on the PS3 and I already had done a bit of progress about five years ago before picking it back up for this event. I can't tell you how much I look forward to never playing a GTA again until 6. It's a gorgeous game, but really not my thing. There was a certain novelty to the PS2 games I'd played recently, but there's nothing really joyful about this one. I may go back and get the Editor DLC trophies and maybe delve into the Heists, but I have almost no desire to.

 

Next is Harvest Moon AWL because I feel like I desperately need a wholesome farming game right now. I've already started and I'm a liiiittle anxious about all the missables, but I think it'll be a delight! Can't wait to enjoy a couple of weeks on Stardew Farm.

[DoctorDrPepper]

I really wanted to like Spirit of the North (after-all it has a cute fox) and I tried to forgive some of the jankiness due to it being made by a small studio - but I just can't.  There are so many spirit-animal games that do this type of thing so much better (The Pathless, Never Alone, Seasons After Fall)  Even with the short period of time I played it, I felt like it overstayed its welcome with repetitive mundane puzzles.  I actually managed to get out of bounds at one part, so that was kind of fun exploring outside of the regular environment.

Half way there now.

I stacked Swordbreaker, which is a fun game to play but the second one was good for a laugh. Roombo is all about protecting your house as a killer vacuum. Is it silly yes but fun.  

[Spacey_Dweeb]

Unexpectedly, I spent a huge amount of my gaming time last week on Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order for PS5. I was going to get myself a quick auto-pop platinum, but remembered I had deleted my saves in the past thinking I wouldn't ever need them again. I wasn't very sad though because I liked the game a lot the first time. So I started it up and stuck with it all the way through to platinum in just a few days. Unfortunately, it won't help with this event since I already completed the number this counts for. I'm going to claim it on my list though, since the other game was dumb and I like this game's cover more. If the spreadsheet has the first game I finished for that number instead, its no big deal. Anyway, the game is great, way more glitchy on PS5 than it was on PS4 though. Not anything problematic. Just dumb stuff like the light saber not turning off when you have it on your hip or it being jittery when you are standing near an edge and the game can't decide if you are on the ledge or falling off of it. etc. There was a random tree that went through my elevator once. That was kind of funny. 

 

I'm not sure if I have a solid plan for what I'm going to do this week. This event is almost a third over though so I need to complete a new number this week to be on pace. So I will for sure be doing that. 

 

Current Plan:

    

 

    

 

1. Little Hope - 1%>>>22%
2. A Rose in Twilight - 1%
3. Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - 0%>>>100%
4. AC3: Liberation - 1%
5. Immortals Fenyx Rising - 4%
6. Resident Evil 7 (base game) - 93%
7. Alien Isolation: 15%
8. Mass Effect 3 - 4%>>>19%
9. Mass Effect 2 - 100%
10. Ni No Kuni 2 (base game) - 82%>>>83%

Halfway through to 10 games completed for this event Anodyne was ok, a bit funny as you want to save the world fighting with a broom due to multiple glitches related to trophies it took 3 playthroughs, that last one was totally unnecessary but didn't took too much time (4 hours) so rushed through it.

 

0 - The Unfinished Swan

1 - Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

2 - Tachyon Project

3 - Brothers

4 - Anodyne

I'm not usually a fan of "prepping" games for events (I'd rather start everything from scratch), but PD has been a thorn in my side all year. Plus, I did the entire Hard playthrough in June, so it's not like I was sitting on a single trophy.

 

I'm pretty happy with four platinums in one month.

[Grotz99]

Half way there with 2 more games completed: Danganronpa Another Episode and The Banner Saga. Danganronpa Another Episode wasn't quite what I was expecting since 1 and 2 were more of VNs, but it was still fun. The Banner Saga is a great tactical turn based game with a great story based on choices you make along the way. The story has an ending in this one, but there are still unanswered questions that hopefully will have answers in The Banner Saga 2 and 3. I have a couple saves to carry over and see how they go. Decided to start Mass Effect over Yakuza 4 for now and everything from when I played this game when it was released on PC came rushing back to me. My goal is to finish all 3 this summer.

[Evil_Joker88]

And another game completed 

 

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was a impressive looking calm walking around a lot game for most parts. Walking through very dark tunnels with howling/growling around every few steps was frightning ? I did complete the story almost on my own but the last puzzle i needed broke me. I just didn't understand it and read the trophy guide to complete it and a few optional puzzles too which i didn't understand either.

 

Now i can go to sleep feeling relaxed hopefully no Kraken appears in my dreams

Not gonna lie dude... I wouldn't have been sure about there being a single one on Sony consoles  That'll remain your own personal record for however many GbN events there will be!
