My gaming time was being interrupted every five minutes by me yelling "PENNY! NO!!!"

Is there a Leonard puppy across the hall that can keep her busy for 5 to 6 years before they marry?

It's a fun time! Cool atmosphere, really cozy story, and fun characters. The bar tending is a fun addition too, it's a nice twist to the usual VN gameplay flow. It's a pretty cheap game iirc, so it's definitely worth the investment

[be_minor]

Update #3: And with that, I’ve completed my first GBN event! Overall, I finished some great games I really enjoyed (Edith Finch, A Plague Tale, Mass Effect) and knocked off a few more from my backlog. Thanks for hosting @eigen-space and @Jens, and for creating a kickass badge @Spacey Dweeb!

 

0 - Mass Effect Legendary Edition 

1 - Mass Effect (PS4) 

2 - A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS5) 

3 - More Dark (NA) 

4 - LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes 

5 - What Remains of Edith Finch (NA) 

6 - Maneater (PS5) 

7 - The Walking Dead (PS3) 

8 - Mass Effect 3 (PS4) 

9 - Mass Effect 2 (PS4) 

[Han_the_Dragon]

Finely got another done, with this, 8 completed.

 

The Occupation isn't that bad for a stealth game (I went thinking it was just a walking simulator, but it's heavy stealth, so it's something that I like much more). Entertaining game, but the lack of proper guides makes it annoying to get the platinum, since we need to get collectibles and all investigations done, and all that always somewhat against the clock. Luckily they patched in the Chapter select, so it helped me not needing to do the full game twice or more to get everything done (that said, the game is scripted to take about 4 hours, as I said, the game is always on the clock and the 3 big areas are timed to an extent).

 

8/10

0 - Burly Men at Sea [6490] 

1 - Our World Is Ended EU [8891] / Bloodborne [3431] / Assassin's Creed Rogue PS3 [3101] / Syberia 2 [3481]

2 - Mahjong Royal Towers PS4/EU [6852]

4 - Tokyo Dark: Remembrance [10204] 

5 - Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair [2855]

7 - Monster Energy Supercross [7227] 

8 - The Occupation [8798] 

9 - Persona 5 Strikers [12399] 26%

 

Now, maybe I will do Syberia 2 for #1? (really unsure on this number)

[Jens]

Hey there, it's been a while! Remember me?

It's finally done... Platinum #200 in the bag and with that my first full GbN badge ever! Let's goooo!

 

0 - Final Fantasy 7 Remake

1 - Salt and Sanctuary

2 - Persona 5 Royal

3 - Valiant Hearts

4 - Spirit of the North

5 - What Remains of Edith Finch

6 - A Plague Tale: Innocence

7 - Block-a-Pix Deluxe

8 - Ys IX: Monstrum Nox

9 - SaGa Frontier Remastered

 

And I think this game speaks for itself by now, so I'll skip long explanations  Just magnificent, most likely in my top 5 of all time. It started slower than expected after knowing P5 already, but it still holds up. If you haven't played any of them just do it

[ladynadiad]

0 -  Sparkle 2 (PS4) ✔️

1 - Metropolis: Lux Obscura (NA Vita)

2 -  Norman's Great Illusion (NA Vita)

3 -  Pic-A-Pix Color 2 (NA PS4) 

4 - Portal of Evil: Stolen Runes (NA PS4), Nier Automata

5 -  Gaps by POWGI (NA PS4)

6 -  Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk

7 -  Kotodama

8 -  Shiness The Lightning Kingdom (12%), Corpse Party: Blood Drive, Children of Morta

9 -  Zero Escape: The Nonary Games, Flower, Earthlock, The Tower of Beatrice (NA Vita)

 

Wrapped up Kotodama.  I honestly expected worse from comments people gave but it actually has a decent enough story and characters though the puzzle minigame in it is very needlessly fanservicey for a game that is rather lacking in it.  But everything that was decent about the game was ruined by having an ending that is one of the worst I've seen because it just pretty much renders everything else as a pointless waste of time.

0: Ratchet & Clank 1

1: Ratchet & Clank Full Frontal Assault

2: Ratchet & Clank 3

3: AC Valhalla PS5 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order PS5

4: Mirror's Edge Catalyst Control PS5

5: Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus

6: Ratchet & Clank 2016 Movie Game

7: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

8: Mirror's Edge Ratchet & Clank All 4 One

9: Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time

 

Just finished Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One... oof. This game was not good haha. This game was like playing a bad Lego game but with the chaos of a R&C game jammed into a small stage with no camera control. The story was fine, but everything else was just rough and annoying and frustrating. I wasn't expecting much from the spin off titles (this and the next title to play: Full Frontal Assault), but this was not a great experience haha. It's an easy enough plat at least, but still just a grind beginning to end to play through. On to greener pastures though!

[kingofbattle8174]

Only 6 puzzles away from completing my #5. It is on hold for points though.

[Briste]

I'm finally badge-worthy! It took nine games, but I finally got five different numbers. It's been a good week as I have popped three Platinums with NeverEnd and Jotun both coming in with a '0'. Obviously I didn't pop those earlier in the event since the names are far too short for my liking. I'm a little bit disappointed that the only new game I beat that counts is only one word and a number. That game is Torchlight 2 coming in with a '2' for the win. I'm going to list it below as something better just to stay on theme.

 

Running out of time...but whatever color 0 and 3 end up being....we're going to paint the shit out of my badge those two colors  Bob Ross is spinning in his grave at my ineptitude at this color by numbers stuff....

 

0 - The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series / NeverEnd / Jotun

2 - Runic Games presents 'Torchlight 2' a sequel in the Torchlight series (nice)

[Cassylvania]

At long last! I platinumed a somewhat popular but still unknown game. It was long, it was hard, it was epic, but I finally have a plat for my #9 spot and...

 

0 - Kingdom: Two Crowns (8540)

1 - Crossing Souls (7171)

2 - Wargroove (9412)

3 - Lair of the Clockwork God (11603)

4.  Oxenfree (4844) 0%

7.  Moss (7297) 

8.  Suicide Guy (7288) 

9.  The VR Playroom (5409) 

 

Well... That was certainly a game. Suicide Guy was fine - I wish it had more puzzle-y elements and better platforming, but it was a nice little distraction and there are certainly worse games. But hey, at least that's one less number! Only three games to go!

[Hisuiryu]

[gruffiiti]

Ive completed a few games since last update and hadn't been paying too much attention to numbers so ended up with a couple more unintentional swaps to make. Little Nightmares II now becomes Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments as I felt like playing that this past week and Devils Daughter this upcoming week. Blacksad also gets replaced with The Division 2 as I finally decided to knock out the last couple trophies I had to do in it for platinum. I still plan on playing these swapped games in the near future but I guess I should also plan to get Moss done for the final completion.

 

 

1 - The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope [100%]
2 - Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments [00%] --> [100%]
3 - A Tale Of Paper [100%]
4 - Megaquarium [100%]
5 - Peaky Blinders: Mastermind [100%]
6 - Tom Clancy's The Division 2 [100%]
7 - Moss [00%]
8 - Children of Morta [100%]
9 - Transistor [100%]
0 - Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition [100%]

Your list is really awesome for me right now.  I have all these R&C games in my cart on my PS3, just itching to purchase.  Only thing holding me back, is I have to complete a game before I make another purchase or my backlog would never stop growing!

[Grotz99]

Another game down, 2 (or 1 if the Mass Effect Legendary Edition trophies count) to go. Really enjoyed playing Mass Effect 2 again and playing them one right another rather than as they came out back then really shows how much they improved over each other. Although now that I'm playing ME3 on Insanity, starting to notice that they took a page out of the COD playbook with perfectly thrown nade spam by enemies ?.

I am getting closer. My plan was to finish the Olympic Games platinum last week and do A Rose in the Twilight this week. I am going camping this weekend and it would be the perfect time to knock out some trophies on the Vita. However, in the meantime, I started A Plague Tale: innocence. It was able to be finished quickly and it filled the same number as A Rose in the Twilight. I will still platinum that this weekend, but the number is filled so I changed my list to reflect that. I don't think I'll finish a new number this week. I believe Avengers and Immortals both still have a decent number of hours left on them. I am on pace to finish them by the 23rd and then I'll have one extra week as a buffer if I guessed wrong. 

 

 

To Do:

    

 

Tah Done!

Hi all, some nice status updates here.

 

Like to join also with some good news:

Have no new game completed, but made good progress on my number 1 game Mega Man Legacy Collection 2:

• Would rate this game with 6/10 for difficulty, while Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 is definitiv a 9/10.
• Getting the 50 Gold medals for those challenges from LC2 is not comparable to those challenges from LC1, where the time limit is more strict, with less to no wiggle room. Sometimes I am only 4 seconds to slow for some golds in LC1. 
• Also the fact that you have more challenges in total, thanks to the addition of challenges for Proto Man and Bass (Both get the same challenges like Mega Man) in MM9 and MM10, make it more easy to get the 50 Golds with easier challenges.
• Also this video from greenzsaber helps a lot with getting those LC2 golds: 

0 - MASS EFFECT: LEGENDARY EDITION (PS4) ?

1 - Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 (PS4)

2 - Mega Man Legacy Collection (PS4)

3 - I Am Alive (PS3) ?

4 - SBCG4AP Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner (PS3) ?

5 - SBCG4AP Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective (PS3) ?

6 - SBCG4AP Episode 5: 8-Bit Is Enough  (PS3) ?

7 - SBCG4AP Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free (PS3) ?

8 - MASS EFFECT 3 (PS4) 

9 - Tales of Hearts R (PSVita)

 

I am planning to complete MMLC2 this week and alternating between MMLC1 and ToHR until the end of this month.

 

Until later people :-)

[Spacey_Dweeb]

@Geridian Good luck with those Mega Man collections. Mega Man 2 is my favorite NES game for sure. However, I took a look at some of the challenges in the legacy collection and was like "Nope!" haha. You're a braver person than I.

[Geridian]

@Spacey Dweeb Thank you for wishing me good luck. ATM I´m doing my last run on MM10 with Bass. Think I will complete this tomorrow and score the ? in MMLC2 at the same time.

MM9 with Proto Man was no fun, even with Extra Armor mode. Paper thin armor, double shock time when hit.
The challenges in MMLC2 are also very doable. Practice is everything. Normally I am not the platformer guy and still got 95% of the MMLC2 challenges with gold time in the first try.
MMLC1 is a different beast. But still: That all MMLC2 trophies are bronze, is a bad joke.

Funny coincidence: Playing MM2 in MMLC1 was also my first time playing MM2, also never played 1, 5 and 6 before. Even 7,8,9 and 10 I am playing for the first time. Enjoyed playing 2, but also like 3 very much. Sometimes I think that those old platformers are more difficult then some difficult games today.
