Gaming By Numbers 2022 (Event Ended)

[gruffiiti]

Well I completed another 3 games and am happy with 8 games done already. I don't know if I will be able to squeeze in one more yet this month but we shall see.

 

 

Everybody's Golf - I finished up the daily vs characters without an issue but then realized I still had to play another 30 tournaments to unlock the last secret character. That was a bit of a slog but I spread it out over a few evenings which made it more manageable. Can finally cross this one off my list. 

 

The Adventure Pals - I played most of this through co-op with my daughter and had some good fun with it. Made by the same developer as Cult of the Lamb which also looks really good.

 

Stray - The story was interesting and the gameplay was really well done. The only trophy I struggled a little with was Can't Cat-ch Me. It must have taken me an hour of trying before I had a clean run as if I didn't get caught by a Zurk at one of the harder pinch points I always seemed to get caught by an easy one to avoid in the next area. Eventually I had that one required clean run and then was left with the speedrun to complete the game. Wouldn't you know it I also had a clean run during my speedrun playthrough. haha

4th Entry complete! MultiVersus what a slog especially after doing 150 party matches to only realize I was doing in a way that wasn't meeting the requirements for the 500 needed....really soured the experience for me. On to the next.

So billed as a children's game, but that Dark Room timing really had me!  Nice fun game and I suggest it to anyone wanting an easy afternoon game!

Surprisingly difficult games. I made Kena a lot easier by using the Master difficulty glitch, but Tails a lot harder by playing on the new DLC difficulty (not necessary for the platinum, but it is for the 100%). I'd say that evens out.

[be_minor]

I don't typically speedrun these events, but I'm happy to have finished this year's GBN early. I thoroughly enjoyed most of these games, my favorite being TLoU Remastered - and just in time for the remake! Thanks for hosting @eigen-space; it's always one of my favorite challenges!

[damcrac5]

Going to be a bit strange, but I've yet to get my PS5 to a location to sync my trophy progress.  I'll share what I've got so far, and hopefully get it sync'd before the end of the event.

 

0 - The Last of Us 2 -  + 

5 - Cat Quest - 

6 - Resident Evil 0 - 

9 - Horizon Zero Dawn -  + 

 

I was working on Lawn Mower Simulator for #7, however I just noticed that it is actually an 8 because I'm doing the PS5 version.  Since I'm almost done with it, I've decided to omit my current #8 completion as it is a TellTale game.  I'd like to fill the list with longer games.

I am so happy Psycho-Pass is done.  The game was interesting story wise, but that last push to get 605,000 points to buy the Voice files was a total burn out. DONE!

[GerritSlak]

Kingdom Hearts was amazing as always, I thought I would have more trouble with the "secret" bosses on Proud but they we're pretty easy

 

Re:Chain of Memories was a lot harder than I remembered, Sora's part was pretty easy but Riku's grind to max level felt to take forever.

It's weird and fun to think this was a GBA game that was remade for PS2, remastered for PS3, polished for PS4 and that I play on PS5

Well, I guess that I can do another update, since with Soul Hackers 2, things will slow down.. and it also made me change my plans..

 

Since I can use it for #4, I decided to change the idea of both Vampire The Masquerade games and Uncharted Tales, and instead go with both The Walking Dead games and Soul Hackers 2 for the same numbers...

 

This actually made me waste time, since I was nearly finished with my first playthrough of Vampire The Masquerade Coteries of New York.. and as if this wasn't enough, Kotodama took much longer than expected and I should still be having some side effects of the kidney stone thing, since I spent more time sleeping than awake in the past 2 weeks..

 

The games that I managed to finish were:

1st - The Walking Dead: New Frontier - Nothing really new here, same style of the other Tell Tales games, at least was a somewhat enjoyable time. 

 

2nd - Kotodama - Kind of hard to describe how underwhelming it end up being.. bland, uninteresting story.. I believe that if it wasn't for the fact that it was on sale, and was a much faster game than Nights of Azure 2 for #7, I would never play it..

 

3rd - Syberia 3 - Quite liked the journey, and was also in line with the previous games. I believe that I even liked it more than I usually would do because I played it right after Kotodama.. I also just learned that there's a 4th Syberia game that will be released for PS4/PS5 in November.. this means that the journey isn't done yet! (And that I will be adding it to my "looking for a cheap copy" list..)

 

The List (6/10):

0 - Disgaea 6 Complete • EU • PS5 (16870) 

1 - Our World Is Ended EU (8891) | Assassin's Creed Rogue PS3 (3101) |Sly 3 • PS3 (471)

2 - Lost Sphear (6782) | One Piece World Seeker (8852)

3 - The Walking Dead: The Final Season • EU (8023)

4 - Soul Hackers 2 • PS5 (17654)

5 - Super Bomberman R Online (13015) 

6 - Quest of Dungeon (5736) 

7 - Kotodama (9077) 

8 - The Walking Dead: The New Frontier (5698) 

9 - Syberia 3 (6029) 

 

Next up is obviously Soul Hackers 2.. and I have my doubts that I will manage to get the full 10 games this time around... unless I find something that's quick and that I feel like playing for #1 and #2..

 

Since I didn't had time to play the last The Walking Dead game, I will leave it for after Soul Hackers first playthrough.. I also only now learned that they changed the formula for the game, and this time there's collectibles and missable trophies, so, that will require me to use a guide this time around..

 

PS: If you check my profile at the time of writing, I still don't have the platinum of Kotodama, but that's due to efficient play as well as me posting this in advance.. I will still get the platinun today..

I'll fix it in a couple of hours, thanks for pointing it out!

Sometimes the 0 on the far left gets to me, when I count columns instead of paying attention. I'm getting old.

#3 done now with Scarlet Nexus PS4 version. Still debating if I want to do 6 & 7 as those games as I haven't really been in the mood to play them. Will probably take a few days to think it over while I just play some PC & find a game I could replace them with or just get the urge to play them.

The Bunker was an easy but enjoyable game.  Had a hell of a time with the QTEs because of a janky joystick.

[Taruta13]

I should be able to start my last game sometime this month. I want to platinum Trials of Mana first, I've always done the Mana series in order: Adventures, Secret, Trials and Legend. But I should be able to crack some guides and get that game finished in less than two weeks.
