I've penciled in some games in red which I think should fit. Not sure what to do for a game featuring a romance or romance options.

 

You've pencilled in Ico for one option for "One Word Title", but I would think that could work for "Featuring a romance" - Ico's relationship with Yorda is odd, but could be considered a romance of sorts, in a kind of platonic, Harold and Maude sort of way?

Interesting. I'll make a mental note to judge their relationship when I get round to playing it. Thanks!

Time for another update, and another square down.  Ya know, you'd think I'd never played Bingo in my life, given what an honest attempt I seem to be making at not getting a bingo.  Anyway, newest one is Has snacks that heal you, with Trials of Mana what with candy, chocolate bars and cookies at your disposal.

In Game Weather - Season after Fall

Up until now, I haven't declared any games that I haven't yet fully S-Ranked...

....however, with the release of Elden Ring, everything else will be going on the back burner for a while, so figured I'd update with a couple of games that I have at least met the event requirements of seeing a full playthrough completed!

 

For "Spawned an Extended Universe" I'm using Alan Wake, as it has at least two spin off Comic books:

 

 

I've not S-Ranked as yet, but have finished my first playthrough, so should count, I think!

 

 

Also, for "Recommended by a PSNP Member", I'm using Solar Ash - recommended by the one and only @Arcesius, which I finished a first playthrough of last night!

[KunoGuy]

First Bingo...For Realz.

 

Update #4: I thought I had finished my first bingo using ABZU but was reminded of the rule not doing trophy cleanup. #BingoBlock. So thanks to @Hurricane_Tanya for the Tearaway recommendation. You were right, it wasn't crazy long and pretty fun. I ended up needing to find some collectibles but was able to finish that today. My goal for this challenge was to mix in some, well, challenging games. So Bastion was a game I had wanted to finish for the isometric category. I did have another game as a backup but no need. If you've played the game some of the trophies put up a challenge especially the About the Author Trophy. 

Believe it or not, I've never played Ratchet & Clank (or Jak and Daxter), I was always more a Sly Cooper fan. It was a fantastic game, great PS5 experience, and makes me want to see what other games I should try in the series.

Astro's Playroom: As a longtime Sony gamer, I enjoyed seeing all the hardware and peripherals from over the years that I had at one time, like the PSONE LCD screen, good memories playing on that back then. Also very fun game and hence I wanted it for the Player's Choice category.  

Clockwork Tales was another game I platted. I wanted to try out the PS Now service so it worked as a game I could download and play offline. Straightforward hidden object/ point and click adventure with a steampunk theme.

Latest check-off is O1 with Mass Effect : Andromeda.

 

Never played a Mass Effect game before this - I missed quite a few console generations due to having more important things to spend my money on over the past more years than I care to mention - so I can't add my voice as to whether it's a good Mass Effect game or not, but after a couple of false starts I had a great time with this. Although it's far from perfect it doesn't really deserve as much hate as it got/gets. The Legendary Collection will probably make its way onto my backlog at some point.

 

I really should start planning games to try and get a line at some point. Oh well, plenty of time for that.

 

 

Completed so far:

 

Spoiler

I1 (No Jump Button) Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice 26/1

O1 (Punctuation) Mass Effect: Andromeda 1/3

I2 (SciFi/Fantasy) Rime 1/2

I3 (DLC) Rise of the Tomb Raider: Endurance 7/2

O3 (Crafting) Assassin's Creed: Origins 12/1

B4 (Free) Kitten Squad 20/1

G5 (Underplayed) The Forgotten City 3/1 (109 players at time of completion)

Patience is a virtue

[papert0wng1rl]

Here's my February update. Last month turned out incredibly busy, so I had less than usual amount of time to play. But I did finish one game towards my bingo card! This month's addition is:

• Titanfall 2 - for player operated vehicles. I didn't want to go with a predictable pick of a racing game or something, so instead I chose to pilot a giant mecha with a charismatic personality, all while saving an off-world colony in the galaxy far-far away. It was badass. 

 

 

Spoiler

 

B1 - With gorgeous vistas
I1 - In-game weather effects - Astro's Playroom
N1 - That you started but didn't finish
G1 - Redeemed from PS+ - Mortal Kombat X
O1 - Cult favorite

 

B2 - With player choices and multiple endings
I2 - Has no platinum trophy
N2 - DLC pack or standalone DLC
G2 - Side-scrolling or bullet hell
O2 - Oldest on your backlog

 

B3 - Starts with the first letter of your PSNID
I3 - Non-human sidekick
N3 - Player choice
G3 - Last game you acquired
O3 - Reboot or spiritual successor

 

B4 - With player operated vehicles - Titanfall 2
I4 - Main character has no facial hair - Rise of the Tomb Raider
N4 - Overplayed (100,000+ owners)
G4 - With mystery or detective themes
O4 - Originally released in 2022

 

B5 - Released in your birth month
I5 - Hype!
N5 - Aliens or robots
G5 - Non-violent
O5 - With isometric view

Last Game You Acquired: Horizon Forbidden West (03/03/2022)

What an amazing sequel, better than the first game in so many ways (and Zero Dawn is incredible).

 

[MissShake]

Next one down! I have Caligula Effect: Overdose for a game with multiple endings

 

[Evil_Joker88]

Two more added to the chart but still no bingo

 

First idea for Banned in a Country was The Darkness II which is a good FPS about a man being host to the evil incarnation itself and his fight against men who want to steal The Darkness from him and seeing illusions of his dead girlfriend who appears several times in the story. It's very brutal visuals and gore were a few problems for some people giving ratings but as the game includes a demon as a sidekick most parts of the game which attacks on its own but you can also throw it at enemies to let them be killed i decided to put the game in I4 (non human sidekick).

 

Besides that new is Kyurinaga's Revenge as sidescrolling (or bullethell) (G1). A sequel to a hack-and-slash game Yasai Ninja in which vegetables in human form live in an medieval based Japan the protagonists are an Onion and a Brokkoli in Yasai Ninja they fight against the Shogun (Kyurinaga) who wants to kill the Tenno (= Emperor) (has no name). In Kyurinaga's Revenge the heroes are running away from Kyurinaga who wants to kill them for revenge. The game has only 2D levels and it's a jump 'n' run mostly. The game looks alright with different stages (villages, forests, mountains, castles) and everything is 3D in visual there are several fights which are simple QTEs but very long and rather fast at the later stages.

 

In all honesty i think the first game (Yasai Ninja) is much better as it has 3D levels in which you fight and then 2D levels in which you just jump and run. And the  was much easier in the first game too....

Manual Samuel done for Player Operated Vehicles, you're only operating a vehicle for a very small part of the game but I've been wanting to play this and without using my indy or player choice boxes this was my only option, pretty fun short game although the controls did get frustrating at times especially on the time trials

 

 

Player choices/multiple endings - Oxenfree

Isometric view - Untitled Goose Game

Metroidvania or Rogue-like - Yoku's Island Express

[Together_Comic]

 

Been awhile but I finally managed to check of game number three in the category of fantasy/Sci-Fi.  The Legend of Heroes: Cold Steel IV is a sci-fi RPG revolving around the "great twilight" and the effect it has on the countries of Erebonia and its surrounding neighbors. The game features many of the classic JRPG elements such as a convoluted plot, customizable characters, and (minor spoilers for the first game in the series) F***ing Gundams.  

 

Its already march and with 22 games to go,  I need to get a move on if I'm going to finish.   Though on the bright side, since I haven't updated in awhile yall are going to give me plenty of reading material. 

 

Here is the list of completed games by category and tentative games for each other category.  Good Luck Gamers.

Update #1

 

I finally have my first couple of games on the board, and I’m really happy with them! I platinumed both Bloodborne (Frightening/ Horror) and Horizon Forbidden West (Originally Released In 2022). I’ve enjoyed the stories in both, favoring the former by just a bit. I’ve been cleaning up a few games that don’t qualify for this challenge, but I should have more story completions on the horizon. 

 

 

[stuthesheep]

Another one down, G1 marked off with God of War III.

 

 

Don't think this one needs a whole lot of explaining, there's a picture of Kratos in the dictionary next to anti-hero.

 

 

Completed so far:

Spoiler

I1 (No Jump Button) Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice 26/1

G1 (Antihero) God of War III 8/3 

O1 (Punctuation) Mass Effect: Andromeda 1/3

I2 (SciFi/Fantasy) Rime 1/2

I3 (DLC) Rise of the Tomb Raider: Endurance 7/2

O3 (Crafting) Assassin's Creed: Origins 12/1

B4 (Free) Kitten Squad 20/1

Alphabet is hard

[Beyondthegrave07]

I totally didn't forget about this event and now just decided to post my January and February update.

O1 - Hades 

O5 - Guilty Gear Strive

 

I think Hades was a bit overhyped for me. It was still a good game, but I really didn't care for the RNG nonsense of trophies I had to deal with. Made it feel like a chore late in the game which is something I hate doing in video games. It's an isometric game so there's literally no jump button.

 

As for Guilty Gear Strive, it was probably one of the best fighting games I've played in a long time. The sound track is an absolute banger and learning how to play the system and do absurd amount of damage was really fun. Aside from beating arcade mode on the extreme route, this was a very chill and easy platinum. Sol Badguy is the definition of anti-hero and his name has Bad Guy in it so it has to count!

 

Next: My next finished game/platinum will likely either be TLOU 2 or Dead Nation (PS3). One of my overall goals for 2022 gaming wise is going back and finishing 5 old PS3 games and being on the zombie kick with TLOU 2, seems like a good game to mix in every now and then.

It definitely ticks the box. I just wasn't sure it would count as I started it last year. Though it was quite late last year, so, assuming I do finish it this year, I could put it to the panel ?

As long as you finish the story or equivalent after signing up for the event it's fine.That's rule #2 in FAQ section in the first post

[MAUSZX]

 

This is my first update, I was going to wait until the first BINGO, but I've been a mess and have really played games and after that think if that game fits any space here, I have so many options that I kinda get overwhelmed, so I decide to play whatever game comes to mind, either if I want a short one, an easy one, a hard one or even a game that I need to finish to free up some space in the console.

 

So in order to keep in mind whatever I need to do next, I need to lock in some games before anything happens.
 

• Game title with purple: TROVER SAVES THE UNIVERSE. Is purple in the screen here in PSNP, also purple as the thumbnail in the console, basically is the most purple game in psn. This game is one of the funniest games I have ever played, it was made to be played in VR, but it can be played without it, created by the Rick and Morty guys, this games is going to make you laugh a lot if you are in that kind of sense of humor.
• Spawned an expanded Universe: MASS EFFECT.  Pretty sure this was one of the first games that spawned books and comics, this and Halo, so Mass Effect, you probably already know what it is, it fitted in 3 spaces in my bingo table, but I decided this one was going to be the one. Love the Legendary Edition, they really fixed the pop in problem that the 360 had. Funny thing is I remember things so differently, I for some reason thought Ashley was Atheist, I remember her saying that, but this time I played it she is actually a believer, that's how I know, memories can be tricky and false.
• By an Indie developer: SHALNOR LEGENDS: SACRED LANDS. This situation is weird, ok so I bought this game long time ago thinking, maybe this is one of those fun but super easy games, I thought this was a Platinum bait game, NOUP. Is not super hard don't get me wrong, but it is not super easy either and not short at all, at least the platinum takes time. Pretty good game I would say, similar to Zelda in many ways and not that similar in others, I think for a cheap price this is a buy. This is a super indie game that was made by one person.
• With mini games in it: GOAT SIMULATOR. This game might be considered as a minigame itself, but there are many minigames in the game, including the INFAMOUS, the awful, the painful, the so frustrating, FLAPPY GOAT, yes in order to get the platinum you NEED to get finish 10 points in that minigame, sounds easy, is really not, you can hit nothing and still lose, but I finally manage it.

 

PS: I know "is not necessary to get the platinum" but I will do them anyway, that's the way I play, also I'll finish the GOAT SIMULATOR DLC this week, but those are my locked in games.

Two more boxes down!

 

 

Has no platinum trophy - Guilty Gear: Ancient fighting game that has only "clear the game with all characters" kind of trophies. Pretty basic but it works best for this square.

Cooperative Game - Elden Ring: You can play the entire game in co-op mode either via Jolly Cooperation or via AI summons. Only if you want, that is 

[DrBloodmoney]

 

 

 

Another box complete - and another Bingo line... I think qualifying me for the "Retirement Ready" tier! ? ??

 

For the "Originally Released in 2022" box, I'm using Elden Ring...

 

...and man, what a game!

 

The best Souls game IMO, which puts it in hot contention for one of the best games, period!

 

Still have a NG+ run to go, to finish up the platinum, but finished my first playthrough today, and all I can say is... believe the hype!

Well, since I finished FF7R Intergrade, I guess that I can do another update...

 

I'm using it for Game with Mini-games. And I will just say that with this second run through the game I managed to come to terms with the "introduction of foreign stuff" into the game and I'm again eagerly waiting for part 2... also only now I noticed that Sonon is a "beta Cid", since his fighting style is the same as Cid would be (including limit break and win pose at the VR arena stuff..), quite funny easter egg at my eyes..

 

Next up is my change for the Game with Weather Effects, since I can't wait to start GT7! (And yes, that's definitely my next game).

 

And the Graphical update:

What will Fall guys "finish story equivalent will be?

Winning a round? Getting all the trophies? Level up to 40 in a season?

Because I plated that bad boy but really had a few trophies pending.
