[Platinum_Vice]

2nd Update:

I superglued my hands to my controller over the last four days and finally made some headway for this event. I finished the stories of two games: Braid and Hyper Light Drifter.

 

Braid is an indie-darling from 2009 with a unique artstyle and a story that is a little open to interpretation. It is a puzzle game that is genuinely difficult; not only were there a few times where I needed to look up a solution, the rarest trophy requires speedrunning the game in 45 minutes. As I did manage to accomplish that (finished in 40 minutes, making me the 400th fastest completion according to the in-game stats - we take those!), I have put it down as a game "that you can beat in one sitting."

 

 

Hyper Light Drifter is another highly-acclaimed indie title that is clearly Zelda-inspired but it doesn't feature roguelike level-generation (the world is in a hand-designed and permanent state like non-roguelikes). The game has no text, great combat and it's a constant source of gorgeous pixel art. You play as The Drifter, a protagonist on a quest to defeat evil overlords that maintain a hold of dominance over the last remaining intelligent life in the world. The Drifter is burdened by a corruption or sickness that hinders him or her, and it is visually implied that the cure for the sickness is synonymous of the Drifter's goal to free the desperate peoples struggling to survive. This sickness may have greater symbolic meaning as the head developer (Alx Preston) has congenital heart disease which is a clear source of inspiration for that aspect of the narrative. I highly recommend everybody and anybody play Hyper Light Drifter to experience it - unless you maintain a 100% account because the trophies are a nightmare. I selected this game as one where the "title screen has purple in it," and while it is in there (next to the green near the top), purple is a lot more prominent in almost every other corner of the world as it features heavily in this game. Here are also two screenshots out of a hundred that I could have chosen to show off the incredible artstyle.

After swapping The Darkness II from Banned in a Country to Non Human Sidekick i started up Metro 2033 on PS4 and it was a blast to go through the metro under post apocalyptic Moscow again The atmosphere in the dark tunnels is superb. Too bad it's banned in Saudi Arabia (N4) but good for me Ever since i saw Metro being inside PS NOW i wanted to play it again and this event gave the final push to do it.

I managed to complete a field with an unexpected game:

 

In a series new to you - Nitroplus Blasterz Heroine Infinite Duel : Apparently this dumb game is part of the Arcana Heart Series. Even on the site it's part of the Series so you can look it up

I never played an Arcana Heart game, never actually wanted to, but I accidentally stumbled across this one. Well, at least it helped me with the Bingo card!

And two more tiles filled:

 

 

For another PSNP event: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
This is a bundle of three games which were originally released on the GBA or 3ds. I had no prior expectations, but they turned out to be quite interesting courtroom/trial adventure games. Each game on its own is an enjoyable experience, with a reasonable length. The bundle should not be played in one go, because then the gameplay over the three games is just too repetitive. But in small doses stretched out over some months, I would recommend it for anyone looking for humorous adventure games with quite a bit of paranormal activity in such a setting (assuming the player is not opposed to grossly exaggerated characters, to the point that they become mere caricatures).

 

Online Features: GT7.
Reviews abound, so I shall abstain from writing about GT7 as a game. For me, buying it was, if I may say so, strictly against personal principles: I don't buy single player games which need online activation. (Yes, this limits my PC gaming choices severely.) But this one time I decided that I really needed a modern racing game, and thus acted against my own rules. Well, the server outage proved that I should have been sticking to my principles. So it's a fitting choice for the Online Features tile.

Woohooo another game on the bingo card. The last game i aquired before starting this event is Danganronpa 3 (O3) for my Vita and oh boy was it a crazy story to read. 16 High School Kids are trapped inside one huge complex and are encouraged to murder themselves. I as the player was the Detective among the Students who had to solve the murders (who did it and why). I thought i reached one ending two days ago but it turned out i was wrong It took several attempts to see through the puzzle. It includes several 4th wall breaking moments which i liked a lot. A good final for the Danganronpa series.

 

I was really debating with myself if i put it in Mystery/Detective or Last Game but now i see i should've put in the Mystery/Detective spot and i'd reach a BINGO ? alright maybe this motivates me to play more Yakuza 4 ?

Finished Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] for my Non-human sidekick game.

At last I finished a column!

 

Crafting Mechanics: Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order - You get crafting materials for your lightsaber, changing its hilt, color, buttons and so on at a Lightsaber crafting table. So it fits the bill.

And yeah only now I decided to check the rules for Bingo

I’m back with 4 new games added to my bingo card.

Spiritfarer for ‘Main character has no facial hair’. This gives me a bingo too! I loved this game, it was so peaceful and relaxing for a game dealing with death. It surprised with how emotional the stories were too, I wasn’t expecting to be crying about a hedgehog, but here we are. I ended up not finishing the game until I had 100% completion too, I just didn’t want to miss anything.

 

Donut County for ‘For Another PSNP Event’. It was my most common platinum which is a monthly bonus point for the AOC event. This was a fun, and funny, but short game. I was seriously debating putting it in the antihero or bad guy square, but since you technically play as the hole I’m not sure it would count, also BK wasn’t really that bad in the end

 

I’ve placed A Musical Story in the player’s choice square since it doesn’t really fit anywhere else. This is a short rhythm game with no dialogue that tells the story of a band heading to a festival, it’s a game that starts off easy with a Simon says style of gameplay. You listen to the rhythm, the game shows you which button to press and then you have to copy it exactly. There’s no bar or moving piece to show when you need to press so you have to have a good sense of rhythm, which I thought I did have until I had to repeat one of the 2 minute songs for an entire day before I got it right. Anyway, I’m happy I completed this one, I felt pleased with myself. Although I will say the game is kind of expensive for how short it can be if you’re not going for the platinum.

 

Finally, I have inFAMOUS down for ‘With player choices or multiple endings’. I had so much fun with this game. It’s old, but it’s just fun to ‘fly’ around zapping bad guys in the head. I ended up doing it on hard mode after the game decided I was having too easy a time with it. The timing of that message made me laugh because I’d literally just died from falling off a bridge. I’m working on collecting all the blast shards right now, but I’m going to go through the evil options and get the platinum…and then move on to inFAMOUS 2. I can’t believe I’ve never tried this series out before. Bingo-wise I’m going through Bully and A Plague Tale: Innocence for this and the Spring completion challenge, so hopefully I’ll be back soon with another square filled.

Missed bold

[Evil_Joker88]

I wonder why you didn't put Infamous in bold just as you did with the other games you finished? Probably forgot it? By the description you like Infamous @Hurricane_Tanya

[MD_91]

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair done for Has no humans, mixture of side scrolling and 3D platforming that was pretty good although some of the mechanics frustrated me just because it felt like they weren't always consistent, might have been me just being bad at the game though ?

 

Songbird Symphony done for By an Independent Developer, cute platformer about a bird called Birb trying to find its parents that is focused around rhythm mechanics, it doesn't actually matter how good or bad you are at the rhythm parts as the story progresses regardless, it's currently on sale (in the UK store not sure about other regions) and I would definitely recommend checking it out

Keeping up the trend of completing boxes nowhere near forming a bingo, N2 is marked off with Spy Chameleon.

 

 

Well, there's a chameleon (obvs), little flies, big flies, little mice, big mice, robots, fish and ladybirds, but not a person to be seen. No idea whose house/office you spend 75 levels rampaging through, but that's pretty irrelevant I suppose.

 

I haven't managed to 100% this - I described it in the Attack on Completion thread a couple of weeks ago as "charmingly infuriating" but after countless attempts at one outstanding trophy and still needing to shave another 90 seconds off my total completion time for the other it has very rapidly lost its charm so have given up on it (for now) for the good of my sanity. Still, I reckon all challenges complete on all levels is more than good enough to class as story completion.

 

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

N2 (No Humans) Spy Chameleon 24/3

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)

Skynet is watching.

[RustyBacon13]

Lol very very late to the party but this looks like fun and at least gives me some targets to aim for. I'm not a particularly fast gamer so this is as much a challenge to myself to see how I can do.

 

My Card!

[Blood_Hungry_III]

 

After a busy few months, I finally managed to check one of these off.

 

For "You can use a sword", I'm adding Hitman (played via the Hitman DLC within Hitman 3). I didn't use it a lot, but the katana can be a lot of fun in this game.

Hopefully I'm able to make faster progress on other games I'm working on now.

You’re right, somehow I forgot it. I’m did really enjoy it, I’m going for the platinum and I started the sequel even though I’m not sure it fits any of my remaining squares. Anyway I’ve fixed it now

Changed my mind a couple of times as to which box to mark off with this, but decided to actually make an effort to clear a line and went for the "Weeb" box, which is one I was slightly struggling to find a suitable one from my backlog for. An enjoyable few days in Yokosuka, apart from the time spent waiting for the bus.
