Popular Post Fanatixa1 Posted February 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi everyone, This will be my last update for this challenge, since I'm traveling in a few days for my birthday . I finished my first play through of Kena and I have only the master play through left. I'm actually hoping for a new game plus mode to complete this. I'm pretty happy with the games I've completed since some of them took a long time. For the next challenge I will try to put games that will make full completion more possible. But overall a completion of 14 games is I think the most I've completed in any challenge! For people still working on the challenge, good luck for the last days! See you in the next challenge! 1.

Popular Post YaManSmevz Posted February 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2022 Toasty War Journal #22 2/22/22 I was supposed to post yesterday, but who could resist an update with all those twos?? Congrats to everybody wrappin the challenge up! Y'all have done such a great job and should be proud of your progress. Daps and hugs for all! Also it was a real treat to get to play with @rjkclarke, we've been talking about doing that for a while now. Had a blast bullshittin with him while watching our Sheva twins riddle each other with bullets? Can't thank you enough for your willingness to lend a hand on that, man! So Sleeping Dogs has come and gone! I such a good time with this game. I absolutely enjoyed it @KimBongUn420, I can see why you rank it so highly. The story is fucking outstanding. The combat is so addicting, it hits this perfect sweet spot between button mashing and precision striking. And I'm no Hong Kong travel agent, but the map looked pretty damn convincing to me! Everything just clicked, and while I still can't believe I neglected it for so long, I'm so glad to have finally experienced it. Good shit! So now, I've got five and a half days to wrap up the rest of my Res 5 Veteran playthrough, then again on Professional. And then Ethan Carter as my come down game, and that's that on that! Last week, y'all! Let's get iiiiiitt? 1. Resident Evil 5 (74-->91%) 2. ️The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (0%) 3. Dex️ 4. Hitman️ 5. Hitman 2 6. Hitman 3️ 7. Islanders 8. Afterparty️️ 9. The Witness️ 10.

Popular Post SicilianDragon92 Posted February 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2022 Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate (Vita) 44% > 67% Dark Souls 2: SOTFS 38% > 44% > 50% > 80% Final Fantasy XIV (PS5) 27% > 28% > 35% > 38% > 43% > 70% Dishonored (PS3) 21% > 25% Tekken 7 0% > 62% > 100% Assassin’s Creed Odyssey 0% > 7% Alan Wake: Remastered 0% > 19% > 50% Resident Evil: Village 0% > 42% > 81% Assassin’s Creed: Origins 20% > 32% > 67% > 100% Hades (PS5) 13% > 68% > 92% > 96% > 100% Echochrome (PS3) 14% Bully 0% > 49% > 100% Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night 0% > 14% > 34% Psychonauts 0% > 18% > 23% Plague Inc 0% > 18% > 36% Abzu 0% > 100% Among Us 0% > 90% The Forgotten City 0% > 89% > 100% Full Throttle Remastered 0% > 100% Seasons After Fall 0% > 100% Update #6 As before, changes from previous update in Bold, swaps since previous update in Purple, completed games in Blue, and additions to the list in Green. So it turns out that the last couple of months since my last update have been a bit of a disaster completion percentage wise. I'll get to why a bit later Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate (Vita) 44% > 67% I added this to the list originally as I thought that I would be spending some time at the houses of various friends and family of the winter period and wanted something to make progress on as I was away from home. COVID had other plans so I'm not as far as I was expecting to be. Finished the first of three required playthroughs and at this point that's probably it for now. As for thoughts, it's a pretty good portable game. Graphics are stunning and I would recommend it if you are missing the arkham games and only want a quick story. If you are a completionist though, avoid! Every awful frustrating anti-completionist objective is here: Multiple different collectibles that span the whole game, points of no return that are not highlighted, trophies that require multiple playthroughs that amount to just doing the same tasks in a different order, and tons of backtracking through confusingly laid out areas with what has to be the worst map in the history of games. It really cannot be understated just how awful this map is. The game is ostensibly a 2D affair, but they tried to incorporate an element of 3D by having the path sometimes turn corners or having you use a contextual button press to enter some connecting pathway built into the background. The problem is the map you are given is entirely top down, and it is lacking basic details like where the boundaries between rooms are. Add to that a layout that is so obtuse you would swear the devs had set out to annoy you deliberately and you end up with one incredibly frustrating collectible hunt. I am mercifully, done with that though so now just have the extra playthrough to do. I will get around to it eventually when I have some time away from home. Dark Souls 2: SOTFS 38% > 44% > 50% > 80% Managed to complete my first playthrough around new year. Made a slight error that meant I missed Benhart's equipment but I can sort that when I get around to New game plus. Final Fantasy XIV (PS5) 27% > 28% > 35% > 38% > 43% > 70% This, basically, is the reason my progress just stalled. Not just for the challenge, but for my entire trophy hunting hobby. It has been such a time sink (over 500 hours now), that I haven't played anything else since basically the start of January. I've never really gotten into MMOs before. I tried WoW for a bit, but eventually got bored with all the "kill X creatures to recover Y items please". I've heard it gets better later, but couldn't stomach the grind for that long to find out. Being a fan of elder scrolls I've tried ESO as well, twice actually, first on launch and then again when Summerset Isle released. In both cases I just found myself getting frustrated with the combat, I think my character is still stuck in a boss arena for a fight with a giant slug thing that seemed impossible to win. Realm Reborn was also a bit of a slog to be honest, but I put up with it mainly because its Final Fantasy. Once I reached Heavensward though I was hooked. To the point where as I mentioned I basically haven't played anything else for two months. There's no chance of me 100% completing this (only 4 people have at time of writing), but the platinum might be doable in the long term. There are a couple of other games coming out in the next few weeks that might tear me away for a while, but I sense this might become a long term thing with FFXIV. For the plat, I am nearly finished with the Omega raids, just have the final two to complete and have the go through the Eden raids tiers and the alliance raid in shadowbringers. Other than that the rest is grinding collectibles. I'm going to do that while levelling all my crafting jobs to try to make it a bit worthwhile. Probably not going to enter the next challenge as I'll wait for the sumer one when I'm likely to have a bit more time. Doubt there will be any further update so for now the final total is 20 games added, 8 games finished, 19 in which progress was made including 6 pushed above 50%. total percentage at the beginning was 163/2000% and at the end was 1377/2000%. Not great really overall but work and family and FFXIV are my excuses! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post xItsLesterx Posted February 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2022 Update #4 Wasn't part of my backlog but I'm going to include it so my games completed don't look as bad as it actually is ?? Anyways, I completed Horizon Forbidden West. Rarely do I ever buy a game on release day but this was a must for me. Can't recommend it enough. Loved every bit of it, except for the climbing at times. 1 - Nioh (10% => 100%) 2 - Nioh 2 (0% => 100%) 3 - Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (1% => 100%) 4 - Horizon Forbidden West (0% => 100%) Looks like this will be my final update. It was great taking part of it and seeing everyone's progress. While I didn't achieve my goal, I'm glad to see lots of you guys did. Cheers to everyone. Hope to see you all for the Spring event. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeachyJacobs Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 Final update for this one and I'm going to fall way short of my target at only 6/20 completed. I had a very slow start though and barely played the first couple months but this year has been off to a strong start so far. I made some huge progress in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne as well which I consider is as good as a considering the length of the game. It's been a lot of fun and good to knock over a few games I probably would've kept putting off if it wasn't for this event. It's been great to see everyone making progress as well, congrats to everyone who participated. Big shout out to @MidnightDragon for organising the event as well! I have signed up for the next one however I'm not sure I'll make much progress on my backlog - I have picked up Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Forbidden West, and Elden Ring just recently and have Gran Turismo 7 on pre-order. It's a busy fortnight for new releases! Good luck in the next challenge, everyone! Cheers! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StilRh Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 Hi guys. Hope you're well. Thank you for the last 6 months, it's been a pleasure to be part of this challenge. This week I've not really looked at my challenge games as I've been so excited about Febuary's releases. On top of that work has been really difficult (we had a patient death 2 weeks ago, we successfully brought her back with CPR but unfortunately she deteriorated and didn't make it) and a few family members aren't doing too well to boot so just playing the games with the lowest barrier to entry at the moment. Looking back over my list, I feel I've done pretty well. I completed/platinum'd 10 out of 31 games in my list. I did get another 4 plats in games off list. I've done a lot to boost my overall game completion score during the challenge too. Very long thoughts about my games below the spoiler tag. See you in the next one Spoiler Age of Wonders: Planetfall 40% > 77% (plat achieved) Enjoyable 4X with turn based tactical combat. During the challenge I went through a few meh phases due to how long some of the missions can take, but ultimately one of my favourite games of the genre. I will go back and finish the DLC at some point as it's reviewed really well, just I didn't fancy any more of the game during the challenge. Airborne Kingdom 0% > 100% Fun little town simulator/resource management game. I saw some footage on youtube and knew I had to play it. It was more simple than I thought but a good palatte cleanser game that took me a day, tops. Alan Wake 0% > 25% I got this as my partner loves Alan Wake (she watches youtubers play games and as a writer herself, there was a lot of references she loved). I think the number of collectables put me off. I will go back to this at some point. Catharine: Full body 10% > 10% Despite best of intentions, I didn't even install this though I looked up plenty of trophy guides to ease my way. I will do this one day. Cities: Skylines 5% > 13% Really good city builder, I got bored with some of the waiting (population to increase whilst not explanding so the day/night cycle goes quickly for the 1001 nights trophy). I ought to go to this with all DLC installed but it's a serious time commitment that I can't spare. Corpse Party 0% > 100% Fun little game, it was nice this was released on PS4, came as a surprise. The platinum was quite straightforward with a guide. Good light horror story. Cyberpunk 19% > 19% I did install this but I think waiting for the PS5 update made me quit after a few hours. I'll go back to it eventually. Death’s Door 0% > 100% Another nice little indie game, the umbrella achievement (finish the game with only the weakest weapon) ruins it though as you don't get to experiment with all the game has to offer. Deathloop 0% > 28% An excellent game but became burried by other titles I wanted to play more. One week I'll carve out a few dedicated days for this. Hades 21% > 33% Absolutely beautiful game. The only thing that's held me back is rheumatoid (not real diagnosis but I feel my hands are wrecked from my work) hands unable to play too much without causing pain. I will keep this installed, like Slay the Spire, and chip away at this for months to come I'm sure. Judgement 0% > 41% I was really gutted that when the liscence ran out on PS Now my having the PS5 version didn't allow me to continue playing it. I will wait for this game to be inevitably added to PS Plus and then pick it up again. I finished the main story and I was getting into the side quests. King’s Bounty 2 0% > 10% A rather mediocre game, I got some enjoyment from it but going 3rd person open world has just added hours and hours of tedious padding to it. I've heard some patches have sped things up. I'm going to wait for good guides and then speed run it. Labyrinth Coven of Refrain 0% > 36% A beautiful DRPG, some of the best mechanics I've seen in the genre. I keep meaning to go back to this but other games are just more pick up and play at the moment. NISA humour is the best. Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 2 10% > 10% I feel bad for not playing this as I loved Cold Steel 1 and LOH: Trails in the Sky. I'm aware of some good guides and should just sit down and play this. Moonlighter 13% > 26% Cute game that I dropped for bigger titles. It's been on my list for some time but I experienced bugs in the past. Nier Replicant 31% > 31% Like with the other recent Nier game I think the sadness of the some of the endings paralysed me. I have completed some quests and collected materials during my Ending B run, but not invested too deep into this. I should just get ready to cry and make myself complete this at some point. Persona 5 ?45%? > 67% A really special JRPG. I completed the story, need to pick up the others things in NG+ which I'll do during a week of annual leave in the future. Rune Factory 4 Special 0% > 10% Super chuffed this came out on the PS4. I will complete this at some point. Tales of Arise 0% > 100% One of the better Tales games. Easy to platinum for a jrpg Tales of Iron 0% > 100% Cute indie game that I didn't like as much as I thought I would. The Messenger 0% > 100% Criminally under rated game. I struggle with sections that required too much speed or sustained efforts on my fingers, but rewards by excellent music, fun story and satisfying gameplay loop. I was pleasantly shocked and surprised by all the twists and turns this title gave me. The Riftbreaker 0% > 73% Really fun RTS game with lots of building/tower defence elements. I don't think I'm good enough to get the plat unless I follow a guide for the harder trophies The Witness 0% > 91% A lot of fun. I stayed guide free for most of this. I'm stuck at the timed challenge, I've come close but it's really frustrating. I don't want to cheese it with the time stop glitch. One day I'll do legitimate. Visage 0% > 100% A pretty scary game but I got frustrated with enemies and cheap kills. A good guide will get you through this in an afternoon Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars 0% > 100% A fun and short RPG, the card presentation is nice. Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sector 0% > 100% One of the best uses for the 40K licence ever. I thought the platinum was reasonable. Lots of fun! Dangnronpa V3 Killing Harmony 30% > 30% Didn't touch this MuvLuv Alternate 0% > 13% I started this and love it, due to having an old vita I lost my save and had to replay several hours which took the wind out of my sails. I think I'll carry this one to next challenge. Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove 12% > 13% Fun but quickly dropped when I saw the DLC would make this take 100s of hours lol Spy Chameleon 11% > 17% A nice little time sink. I stopped playing when I hit a few levels I couldn;t get past. Really I should get a video guide and go through it again. Tokyo Xandu 21% > 21% Didn't touch this 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post freddie1989 Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 Final update for the challenge! Not much to report this time as I spent a lot of my time lately on the 30 hours if DLC content they put into Wildlands which i loved. Finished each mission through once on Sniper Ghost Warrior which is a car crash compared to the previous ones. Will plug away at this slowly to clean it up but on to the new games now. Overall not too bad for me, I managed 7 platinum, cleaned up some DLC and made some progress on others so I'm happy with that. Given the length of Days Gone which took me a while I can't grumble. Always a pleasure to read your updates and take inspiration from them. Enjoy the new challenge!! ME: Shadow of War 100% Days Gone 70% Worms Battlegrounds 100% Sonic Mania 23% Emily Wants to Play 0% Assassin's Creed Unity 100% Late Shift 100% The Last of Us Remastered 3% Need for Speed Payback 93% Borderlands Pre Sequel 41% Sims 4 27% Plague Tale 100% Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 10% - 28% 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dieselmanchild Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 Update #9… Final tally. PS4 1. Guacamelee 2 - 100% 2. Dead Island: Definitive Edition - 100% 3. Resident Evil 2 - 100% 4. Hollow Knight - 0% 5. Bioshock 2 - 100% 6. Lords of the Fallen - 100% 7. Zombie Vikings - 100% 8. Grip: Combat Racing - 57% 9. Dead Island Riptide: Definitive Edition - 100% 10. Life is Strange 2 - 100% 11. Yoku’s Island Express - 100% 12. Metro Exodus - 100% 13. Celeste - 100% 14. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan - 100% 15. Alan Wake Remastered - 100% 16. Resident Evil 4 - 100% PS3 1. X-Men Origins: Wolverine - 100% 2. Spec Ops: The Line - 100% 3. South Park: The Stick of Truth - 100% 4. Dead Space 2 - 0% 5. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - 0% 6. Dead Space: Extraction - 0% 7. Batman: Arkham Asylum - 100% Unfinished Games I am pledging to try and finish this Fall (NOT INCLUDED in this event): 1. Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition - 67% 2. SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption - 51% 3. Sound Shapes - 100% 4. Max Payne 3 - 92% ===== So this is it, the final update. I was hoping I’d be able to finish Grip: Combat Racing in time to close out the event, but I’ve been busy with several other games and sadly never finished in time. On the plus side, even though it wasn’t officially part of this event I finally went ahead and finished all the pain in the ass Death mode levels I had left on Sound Shapes. Considering this game has been rotting unfinished in my backlog for over 3 years now, I am happy to put it to bed once and for all with a new platinum trophy to add to the list. I am a little disappointed in myself for not fully finishing my list for this event. When I pledged it 6 months ago I was pretty confident I’d be able to finish everything in time, but alas, just like my backlog itself my list on here evolved several times throughout the event with several new games added to the pile, and I spent way more time than I expected playing other games on the side, checking out PS+ titles of the month etc. Even though my list here is incomplete, I actually cleared far more games off my backlog than you see in this event here, so either way it has been a productive 6 months for trophy hunting and a sizeable dent in the backlog. Thank you so much to our gracious host @MidnightDragon for putting on this event, you da man! And a big thanks to everyone here who actively participated; I had a lot of fun reading through your progress posts and found a lot of inspiration and motivation in my own trophy hunting from everyone in this community here. This was my first major event here on PSNP and you guys made it a blast!

Popular Post gruffiiti Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 Using a couple swaps but really doesn't matter too much as I won't be able to finish all the games I added this event. I am definitely happy with completing 24 games (actually more but not all counted) during this event and have already signed up for the Spring event but with a much more modest list. Koi (swapped in for Assassin's Creed Origins) I was flipping through my digital games library last weekend as I was in the mood for a relaxing game that I didn't have to put a ton of effort into. Koi was exactly what I needed with its simplistic but excellent visuals and the great piano music to go along with them was perfect. It reminded me a lot, of games like Journey and Abzu if Im being honest, as it definitely had a similar feel. It did however have a couple odd memory puzzles thrown in that seemed out of place and stopped the flow of the game momentarily. Luckily they seemed to only be contained to one level so didn't put a huge damper on the overall game. The only other negative for me was having a trophy added to the list for playing for 24hrs when the game itself is only 3-4 hours long. Will require some AFK for this trophy as playing through the game 6+ times to make it to 24hrs play time would get old fast. Everybody's Golf VR (swapped in for Remnant: From the Ashes) I bought this game maybe a year ago, shortly after I picked up a steal of a deal on a PSVR unit. It had been sitting untouched up until last weekend when my son came across it and begged to try it out. So we loaded it up on a dummy account and played for a solid couple hours and had a lot of fun with it. After that I decided to hell with it I'm adding it to my account as its just too much fun not to play more of it. Its a pretty straight forward platinum with most of the trophies coming naturally just by playing. Getting a Hole-in-one wasn't too bad with a little practice and a bit of luck but didn't take too long. I will still be playing this from time to time just for fun now but would really like to see another Everybody's Golf VR with more courses and more everything built for PSVR2.. Planet Coaster (swapped in for Stranded Deep) I have also been playing and loving this game from the PS+ drop in Feb. Great fun if you enjoy building/managing games. It is really well put together and a lot of fun completing the career scenarios and challenge mode. Also had a lot of fun building wacky parks in sandbox mode (free build). I only have to finish up career mode for the platinum. I don't think I will have enough time to complete it tonight but I will make a solid effort.

Greedfall Swapped for Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love. Darksiders III Swapped for Little Nightmares. Pyre Swapped for Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders Resident Evil 4 Swapped for Wreckfest One final update then - I must admit I got pretty sidetracked the last couple of weeks doing non-gaming things, so my progress slowed to a real crawl. I then decided I wanted to replay Resident Evil 5 as I'd practically forgotten almost everything about it, so I've spent a bit of time here and there doing that. I'm happy to have at least finished 22 of the 25 games I'd thrown into the mix! I would have had time to finish at least two more I think if I'd not spent an extra 35 hours with Yakuza 3 going for 100% in-game completion, but that was a hell of a special time. Escapism in a very pure form so I won't complain at all about that one. I put away plenty of games that I never quite thought I'd get around to as well, so I'm really happy about that side of it. I want to say a big thanks to @MidnightDragon for doing a fantastic job with hosting the event - I love how much positivity you bring to the table in practically every area of the site, and it was lovely to see you doing that here too. I might have finished three games short of my target, but I want each and every one of you to know how much of a motivator it's been for me, and others too, in some fairly trying times, to be able to read all of your awesome progress, which gave a nice bit of extra motivation to keep ploughing through myself. If it isn't too late I'll jump onboard with the Spring one too, because it has been a really positive experience getting involved with this. I'll do one final little rundown of my thoughts on the last game I managed to finish. Thoughts on Irony Curtain This game was one of the most pleasant surprises I've had in video game form for quite some time. I've made no secret of how much I love point-and-click adventure titles. If trophies weren't a thing, then my profile would still be as chock full of point-and-click adventure titles as it is now. When I'd heard Artifex Mundi - the company you'd closely associate with Hidden Object and lite-puzzle solving decided to dip their toes into a traditional point-and-click game, I was both a little apprehensive, as well as cautiously excited. I didn't expect this to be even half as good or as funny as this is - if you enjoy point-and-click games I can pretty safely say that I think you'd have a wonderful time with this, the game isn't any longer than about 6 hours either, so it never outstays its welcome. The characters are great, the writing is very strong, it even has a fairly well implemented character-arc, which I absolutely didn't expect from the game. It's got a real charming art-style too, and filled to the brim with interesting and memorable characters. If you couldn't guess, I really liked it! I'll leave a link to my full run down of it here if you wanted to read a little more in depth about the game. Put it this way, I'm really hoping this isn't the only venture into the point-and-click genre that they make - they could, if they wanted become real powerhouses in that field. Thank you all for providing such great reading over the past few months - it's been a real pleasure keeping up with all of you, See you in the Spring Event hopefully!

Popular Post YaManSmevz Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 Toasty War Journal #23 2/28/22 First of all, congrats to everybody and their phenomenal progress, and thanks to Midnight for being our host with the most! We killed this shit y'all, great work all around? I guess I have a thing for photo finishes... just like the last challenge, it took me to the very last day. Resident Evil 5, I have finally put you to bed. Fucking Ndesu, man. As annoying as Wesker is, and as obnoxious as the Jill fight can be, they ain't got shit on Ndesu in Professional mode. Which shouldn't be a surprise, I mean the dude wears dead people on his belt! If you gave him Wesker's dumb accent and had him say "WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND, CHRIS" then we'd easily have the worst RE boss of all time. Once I finally knocked that one out, I knew it was in the bag. Ethan Carter was cool! Short and sweet, definitely not perfect but a good time. And gorgeous! You could just use it as a hiking sim and still enjoy yourself! Thanks to everybody playing and posting along with me, these challenges are always so fun, and at the end it's so dope to see all you've accomplished. I got to play a lot of really great games and put a big ass dent in my backlog, so as usual I'm quite happy to have taken part. Peace out y'all? 1. Dex️ 2. Hitman️ 3. Hitman 2 4. Hitman 3️ 5.

Popular Post MidnightDragon Posted February 28, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 I completed Monopoly Madness last night. It’s like Monopoly battle royale or Monopoly meets Mario Party. I’m currently the fastest on the NA list and my time also beats the top times on the EU and Asia lists. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DFuzed Posted March 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2022 So the end of the month and the end of the challenge event. I am already signed up and ready for the next challenge. Thanks to @MidnightDragon for hosting this and hope to see you do so in the future. I made a couple last minute switches on this challenge's list, partly because I wouldn't get to certain games, partly because I put too many games on my plate to start and partly because I didn't account for me traveling as much as I did these last few months. Didn't help that I just had to play certain games when I found them for cheap or they were free to play online. Once again quite a few games to talk about, so I'm going to get to it: Diablo II Remastered: Still working on this game although I am starting to slow down a bit. I'm still trying to get my Necromancer up to level 99 for the trophy and working on my Paladin as well. I've also started a Valkyrie and a Druid although neither are as high as my other characters. Trophy-wise I didn't get much done other than getting one for having an unique item in each armor/weapon slot. Thanks again to @FinalDream90 for helping with this game with me. Persona 5 Strikers: So I stalled on this game for a bit, mainly to max out my Bond Level in a simple way but it was in a very repetitious spot and was very boring to do. Took me almost two weeks to do and couldn't continue the story until I had this done. Once I did, however, it was nice to max put my stats and other bonuses, although a few had to wait until the maximum levels were unlocked. Outside of finishing the game only to realize I had to level up my character to 90 to get the last Persona and had to spend a massive amount of (in-game) money and sacrificing a lot of Personas to get the high level Personas needed for the one trophy. Took a bit but got them done in New Game Plus, then did the Merciless New Game Plus to finish it off. Enjoyed certain parts that I made saves and went to watch them again. Especially enjoyed Akane's room which made me laugh and I just had to respond in a way that the rest of the team looked at the leader sideways. Borderlands 2: Another one I'm working on but it's taking longer and other games have my attention. The couple random trophies are causing me trouble, mainly the one who appears randomly with no seemingly rhyme or reason. I have done some story missions and all the side missions that have come up. But it's a game I play when I got a few hours to kill, which is little unless I get pissed at Diablo II and need something else to play. Need to get the online trophies still and lots of other trophies so won't be done anytime soon. Guardians of the Galaxy (PS4): I had no intention of buying or playing this game, with just how badly the recent Avengers game was. I thought that it was the same thing; microtransactions, outfits that were sponsored by companies, online play, etc. But once I saw the reviews by critics, saw the gameplay and some of the content I was sold! Bonus was finding a copy of the game cheap for the PS4, with a free PS5 upgrade. The story has been interesting and intriguing. The fact that certain things have consequences made me want to quickly reload a previous save and get the best results possible. The relationship the crew have feel spot on, with Rocket being so sarcastic, Drax being literal, Gamora being careful around everyone and Groot being Groot. Had to stop myself from just continuing to play it several times already so I could keep my daily objectives in check. Once I'm done with this game I might swap in the PS5 version to play it again. Life is Strange Remastered: Had to wait for this game to come out finally and remember how fun this game is. Not only is it great for my daily trophies but just how simple things have consequences. For example, I missed the chance to be invited into the Vortex Club, which I had done in the other games, so I am looking to see how that affects things. I also regret ratting Nathan as he causes other issues with other characters and just is an ass to Max all the time. But that's what I like about this game. About halfway through the game and trying not to burn through it immediately but the easy trophies don't help. Persona 4: To whoever suggested that I should play this game back when I was playing Persona 5, all I will say is f*** you. F*** you. F*** you. Because now I got interested in this game and now I'm playing it when I don't have access to my PS4 or PS5 or on the road somewhere. And enjoying the story. I haven't gotten far in it, currently in the second dungeon or whatever it is. But got several of the side trophies done and following a walkthrough, although I've messed up and missed a couple things that I hope I can catch up on somewhere. Or worse case just redo on the second playthrough. But I swear that this will be the last Persona game. Not going to play the other games. No chance. Nope. Not. A. Chance. And I'm sure someone will quote me when I pick up the next Persona game... That's it for me for this month and this challenge. Will see you on the new thread and keep you updated on my games there! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
