Update #5

 

Well there we go guys and gals. The first and second! completion for me on this challenge in medal of honor 2010 and it's sequel warfighter.

 

Medal of honor ?

First plat of the year would be for Medal of Honor. Firstly, like I said in my previous update the only thing I needed to do was to level up from level 12 to level 15 for the plat. So I did.

I did end up finding a boosting lobby and since boosting is litterally just trade capping the flag I just joined it to get it quickly done.

 

Frankly I like this multiplayer, it reminded me a lot to battlefield 1943. To me with the 3 classes and very limited option it just felt like a fun do it every now and then arcade shooter to me. There is not much dept, it's mainly pewpew. The frostbite engine looks gorgeous though and it really shows in the multiplayer part.

 

In my previous update I also told that I find the single player part to be a bit forgetable. The only thing I liked about it was that it was all kinda connected to each other. there is no cut like: Yo we are in the US and suddenly we find ourselves in Australia or whatever. Next to that I still find it weird that it used 2 different engines, but maybe this game inspired crossfire X which litterally did the same thing. ?

 

I really enjoyed playing through the game in tier 1 mode though.

 

Medal of honor: warfighter ?

I wasn't expecting to get this plat so soon, but here we are. In my previous update I told that I have fully done the MP, but I didn't finish the SP yet. So bassically I finished my run, but next to that also the misc trophies, the hardcore run and playing the last mission on tier 1 mode. (So basically from unfinished to fully completed it).

 

in general the MP is fine. I liked it less then medal of honor 2010, because I missed the arcady part of it. However it does look very stunning. Though I mainly did just boring grinding on the MP to get it done.

 

The SP got a lot of flag for what it is in my opinion. Yes, if you purely look at it from a war and pewpew perspective then sure it's waaaaaay worse then medal of honor 2010. That remark from US to Australia, well it does not happen in the game litterally but it feels like that. I don't know what is going on most of the time and therefore I didn't feel invested at all. It does seem like they wanted to cater a bit to the personal implications of war and mainly the lost and burdens of soldiers. But this needed to have a bigger emphasis, because it feels like an after tought more then what it should be.

 

Where 2010 has belly of the beast, warfighter has bump in the night. It is a one man army mission sure, but man the tension on this level with like enemies every corner in a relative claustrophobic space on a boat was amazing.

 

Hardcore mode... well not that hard if you use the "exploit" = save scumming. I did die a few times, but the times that I died was the stupidest shit ever, so I don't regret doing it this way. ?

I will get my redemption arc when I am doing wolfenstein 2 on mein leben somewhere in the future.

 

Lastly, I got an unexpected suprise when I heared castle of glass from linkin park in the credits. The clip also mentioned been featured in Medal of honor warfighter as well as a clip that fits nicely with this game. I think it's a good song but bruh, why is this coupled to the flop medal of honor: warfighter and why is it litterally only used in credits, which also is just a boring scroll down one and after the song end while the credits are still going they just use there own in-game music. Like why even bother ?

 

 

Babylon's fall

I am starting to reach the end of the main story and with that I can do a lot more stuff, however until then I am still button mashing til I get carpal tunnel syndrome.

Using a hammer at 1 side slot and a sword as 1 main slot has provided me no issues with the enemies yet.

 

Switch

I'll use 1 of my switches since I will aim to finish up dreadnought before February is over (it's shutdown is marked at 19th of March and I am already a good way into the 1000 matches completed). Also getting the 6 games done in 2 months is quite heavy (for me) especially if I combine it with dreadnought. Mostly I will need to play / boost for all those misc trophies still, but I am sure I will get it done. Dreadnought is currently at a 45% completion, so with that same logic of 33%-50%, I will offer up the Far Cry 2 slot.

 

Progress on this challenge:

Babylon's Fall (PS5): 14% -> 15% -> 37% -> 60%

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (PS3): 14%

Driver: San Fransisco (PS3): 30%

Far Cry 2 (PS3): 37%  -> Dreadnought (PS4): 45%

Front Mission: Evolved (PS3): 23%

Medal Of Honor (PS3): 0% -> 67% -> 75% -> 97% -> 100% ?

Medal Of Honor: Warfighter (PS3): 0% -> 15% -> 55% -> 100% ?

Ratchet Deadlocked (PS3): 32%

 

I've heard enough about Dreadnought in the last couple weeks in party chats. Havoc, havoc, havoc....and even more havoc.

 

Mein Leben redemption? Hmm I'd more characterise it as crule and unusual punishment from a games studio that either -

 

1) Can't take personal responsibility for their own failings in the previous game with the difficulty exploit, so punished the trophy/achievement niche with the Mein Leben trophy. 

 

2) Zero understanding of what constitutes true difficulty and legitimate challenge. This is a problem not exclusive to Machine Games, but industry wide in my opinion. Hilarious, given this is the studio which proudly states one of their core vaules is being free of big egos. Everything in Wolfenstein 2 saids otherwise.

 

I could go on for a while about this, but I'll just stick to my short stock rant.

 

THE 80s AND 90s ARE OVER. THEY WERE A GREAT TIME FOR GAMING, BUT YOU CAN'T FORCE "ARCADE HARD".  THAT FORM OF DIFFICULTY HAPPENED BECAUSE OF LIMITATIONS AND A BUSINESS MODEL THAT NO LONGER EXIST. GET CREATIVE, START INNOVATING!

 

And, finally, from a player who has beaten Mein Leben to Machine Games.

 

 

 

Feels good to finally be doing Frostpunk now. An on the whole fantastic game, and is actually legitimately challenging.

Hellow everybody, it's time for my next update.

 

I've played Cyberpunk for about 30-35 hours now, and it's a mixed bag for me. Sometimes I regret going against my initial intent of never playing that game, other times the game is fun and enjoyable.

What bothers me are the small bugs, and there's still a ton of them in the game, they just add up over time. I know all about that release disaster and that's why I wanted to skip that game, because it looked like something that isn't fixed with patches.

Some of my bugs include:

• a "game breaking" bug in the very first mission of the game, fixed with reloading.
• displays when driving any car not working, not a huge deal but still annoying.
• quest loot only spawning in after a quicksave and reloading the game.

Like every JayRPG I try to play it as immersive as possible, which then stops immidiatly in every game when I create a female character instead of a male one . But other than that, I think items in the game are really overpriced. Went into a clothes stores to buy new stuff, but always keeping in mind the cash you need to buy all cars and some specific upgrades for trophies, so I left without buying anything.

Buying food is also quite expensive over time, and that's why I use HelloFresh, a subscription service delivering affordable and tasty food directly to you! You can choose between a bunch of different recipies they have something for your taste! You don't want to eat the random stuff you find on the streets like my V. does, do you?

 

And that's it folks. Progress wise it's a "small" increase of 4%, but keeping in mind that I'm now less than 100 trophies away from completing this challenge, it's okay.

Update 5:

 

Farming Simulator 16 (Vita) - 7% => 53%

Skylanders Superchargers (PS4) - 100% 

F1 22 (PS4) - 87% => 100% 

Biomutant (PS4) - 100% 

Tales of Symphonia (PS3) - 20%

 

 

Last week started out slow so I had a little extra time for gaming. And with that I knocked out another game.

 

F1 22: This one's finally done. Frankly these games are getting a little stale. You can tell by the newest addition being supercars and a showroom for them. If I wasn't a huge F1 fan(atic) I probably wouldn't bother getting these games anymore. At least they're not really hard.

 

Farming Simulator 16: I got most things done ready for the final grind. I have to fill up 3 plant silos at the same time (which is pretty much ready to go) and I'm about 1/3 into getting the sowing/harvesting/money collecting done.

 

Tales of Symphonia: Still no new trophies, but I started grinding for money and maxing out everyone's cooking. Then I can go to the casino and rebuild a certain city. All these things should give me 3 shiny trophies. Playing for 100 hours, getting 10 titles for one of the chars and 1 mil chips in the casino. Hopefully this week because I will be focusing a little more on this game from now on.

 

My future plans are to get those 3 trophies I mentioned this week and have Farming Sim done and finish up all the titles I can in ToS in (still) my first run by the end of the month.

 

Cheers!

It’s kind of the FIFA of racing games really  I just received my copies of 2018, 19 and 20 last week. I liked the addition of storymode in 2021, and haven’t gotten 22 yet. 
Does that one include a storymode? Or is it just race your seasons, win everything and that’s it? 

Your reason is also the only reason I really play these games

Maybe they need their own like ultimate team mode, surprise mechanics, too get fully Fifa.

Update 6 - 1/9/2023
Dragon Quest Heroes 94% 1/4/2023
Norco 0% 1/8/2023
Valkyrie Elysium 15% 21%

 

Finished Norco over the weekend to go along with DQH so that's two games down. Feels good to finally make some progress! The mini medal grind in DQH wasn't too bad. I had a brief freak out moment when I bought the last weapon I needed from the medal shop and the trophy didn't unlock. Turns out I forgot to buy one low level wand for Nera. And the super bosses fell pretty quickly after I re-did Terry's skill points a little and paid more attention to everyone's accessories. Norco was just okay. I ended up liking it but not loving it.

 

I've moved on to Valkyrie Elysium and started making real progress in that. Doing the 100% collectible + side quest run on Normal now, then I'll speed through Hard after that. I know the biggest grind is the weapon proficiency, but someone posted that the Valkyrie difficulty lets you get them all up to SSS much faster. I'll give it a shot since you need to beat the game on that mode for the full 100% anyway, but I'll keep a Normal save as backup just in case. Also going to try and fit Signalis in this week, too.

 

Have a good week!

 

Full game list(2/8 complete, 3/3 swaps used)

Onimusha: Warlords 40%

No story mode AFAIK. I thought the story in '21 was kind of cringe worthy but at least it was something fresh and it created scenarios (like in the early F1 games by CM) which I really liked.

There isn't much of a change in this one from last year (besides the obvious new cars/track/drivers) except instead of classic F1 cars now you can do various challenges with supercars right between (or rather just before) races and a showroom you can customize. You got all the other race modes as before but it is like you said do your seasons, manage your team and win. The trophies for single player are not as grindy as some before but for online you have to run at least 100 races.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 40% => 47%

World of Final Fantasy: 5%

 

Well, I said LEGO Star Wars was slow but I didn't think it was THIS SLOW! I managed to get the Unknown Worlds trophy for completing 100% in the western planets, but other tasks on one planet requiring backtracking to other planets, and some missions require you to take on three waves of enemies as you travel from one planet to another. The first time this happened, it glitched so it didn't count - I couldn't lock on to any ships. I had to reboot the game to fix the issue.

 

I did manage to get 100% of True Jedi stud coin challenges as well as the 10 billion studs due to all of the stud multipliers and what not. Unfortunately, I had to buy groceries and now it's almost midnight again so I need to sleep. I have trouble with the level challenge to defeat Jenga Fett without getting hit by his explosive shock bombs as I can't get close enough and i eventually get zapped so I am leaving this challenge for the very last one. yAWn. I need to go to sleep.

Official Challenge Update #3: Buckle Up, Frostpunk Trophy Progression Is Here

 

The first official update of my official challenge update part III. I'm officially addicted to Frostpunk

 

 

That's some good snow

 

Being addicted to a video game is not cool. Sure, Frostpunk does go down to -150 degrees Celsius, which is so cool it makes Vanilla Ice look positively like a heatwave. It's still however not a good thing to be stuck in a intense storm of gaming for to long. 

 

 

 

YES! YES! YES! ECONOMIC MICRO MANGEMENT!

 

FROSTLAND BOOTY

(AKA trophies I've got)

 

 

 

The first objective in tackling the base game was to knock out the New Home scenario trophies, and this was successfully achieved with a couple of miscellaneous trophies popped as well. You can probably tell by my time stamps I've put in some stupid late night shifts. While I 'am self confessed addict of Frostpunk, the game is also very slow. Especially on survivor or hard. A lot of strategy games are slow, but this is Frostpunk. Everything is done in the extreme. 

 

The New Home scenario serves as a sort of tutorial, and is the only scenario available when you start the game locked at medium difficulty. After 20 in game days on New Home the other scenarios are unlock as well as the survivor mode and customising the difficulty. So it was straight onto survivor difficulty after that, where I think the game so far is mostly at it's best. Survivor mode is the games hardest difficulty (extreme), but the pause button removed and no manual saving. The game only saves when you exit, so, which is kind of redundant as a feature. You can simply just close application to avoid saving over your good save after screw up.

 

Did I screw up? Yes, I blew my generator up near the very end of the scenario, and I find that quite hilarious in retrospect. My save was rather far back which allowed me to optimise my city better and stuff. Still, out of like the 400 odd survivors I had only 22 made it through the storm. Well done captain, well done. What a hero.....

 

  

 

 

Next up was hard as it doesn't stack with Survivor and getting The Iron Saviour trophy as well in conjunction with it. Information about what actually voids The Iron Saviour trophy is all over the place. The guide here for Frostpunk I'd say has the most reliable information on the trophy, and I've got some additional information that can be added to it. The game even though no one had died triggered the snow pit event Women Of Despair. I think this was due to having triggered the storm early by dealing with the Londoners 3 days before the end of that event, thus triggering the refugee event earlier, but with significant enough down time between those events the game just shuffled it in.

 

After playing survivor, hard was like easy to me. Just look at what I was going into the storm with.

 

 

Those of you familiar with the game might be asking why hadn't I upgraded the resource depots. I just couldn't be arsed researching faster gathering to begin with.  Also, yes this is low pop and no automotons apart from the free one you get from exploring Steel Bridge.

 

I also got the United trophy which also helped in doing so pop Promised Land for having maximum hope and no discontent. Bad At Politics was just a random pop, wasn't trying to go for it. Love it when that happens.

 

So that's me up on 20% completion for Frostpunk. Next up is doing the trophies for the Refugees scenario, which could be absolute hell to complete on survivor. We will soon find out......

 

 

 

 

Edit:  Sorry about that folks. A lot of dyslexia was going on when I typed this update out on the fly. Hopefully it's now mostly corrected, just like I've got to correct my sleep pattern.

Update 5, I made some progress this week…I also got distracted playing new games I got for Christmas

 

 

- Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star - 100%
- Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge - 23%
- Never Alone - 100%
- Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 73% >> 100%
- Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space PS3 - 20% >> 100%
- Titanfall 2 - 39%
- The Swapper - 15%
- Doki-Doki Universe - 100% 

- Hitman - 2%

1/3 Swaps

 

I finished Miles Morales and Sam & Max this week. Miles Morales just had post game side quests and the new game plus play through to do. I was originally going to put the difficulty down to friendly, but I went up instead to spectacular. It was a lot of fun having all the skills and gadget upgrades, it didn’t feel too much harder than the first play, but it was just hard enough to make using the gadgets and venom powers worth it.

 

Sam & Max is an ip I’ve loved for years, so this was a nice nostalgia trip for me. I don’t remember the DeSoto challenges being quite so challenging on PC, but maybe streaming and using a controller this time made all the difference, or maybe I’m getting old and just don’t have the reflexes anymore ? 

 

Speaking of reflexes, it’s time for me to get back to Titanfall 2, and it’s horrible gauntlet

[beerwego]

Another game done and again it's an quick one .....time to up my game and concentrate on pushing through the longer ones.

Seasons after Fall had been downloaded from Plus Premium for a while but is getting removed soon so needed finishing up.

Deathloop or Far Cry New Dawn is next in my sights for Plat 175 .

I keep tinkering with the Lego game but it's been slow progress but need to at least get through the story soon.

 

Deathloop  .....58%........->66%

Far Cry New Dawn......8%..........->11%

Last Day of June .....100%

Lego DC Super Villains ...12%........->17%

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope ......0%

Pinball Heroes.......100%

Seasons after Fall........0%...........->100%

I honestly wished I had not burned my swaps because it looks like I might not be able to platinum WoFF  before the event ends if Skywalker Saga has anything to say about it. Just hit 50% trophy completion. The problem is that the side quests will either require you to complete side quests on other planets or will send you to oher planets, and the load time between planets is 30 seconds, which adds up. And forget the free play, I have yet to free play anything past level 2 of Revenge of the Sith because I have to watch video guides for them and that's a whopping 45 free plays.

 

I know it's only the 11th, but unless I platinum the game before the weekend, I'll lose a lot of time for WoFF and I need that time as this JRPG is insanely long. (I wished I had put up Disgaea 5 instead, I completed the story there and am grinding out an uber character to one-shot maps so my % is 62.) I'll be staying up and burning midnight oil to get every planet in LEGO Star Wars to 100%.

Last update for this challenge, I completed what I wanted

Enter the Gungeon 0%->92%

Castle Crashers 0%->100%
Farm Sim 17 0%->100%
Minecraft Dungeons 0%->100%

 

This was a fun challenge, Enter the Gungeon was the most difficult platinum and probably top 3 or 4 most difficult out of all my platinums, so that was fun. I got a few other games I’m going to platinum after this, but when I’m done with those I plan on playing COD multiplayer more and getting really good again at that. Everyone take care and good luck.

Had to restart this one as I had no memory of what I was up to in it. I'm sad though that I didn't play this back in the day, but that happens when you get your first computer ever in 2004...

 

COMPLETED

 Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom - PS5

Till next time my Guys, Gals and Non-Binary Pals; Happy Hunting!

Week 6: The Plagued Times

 

The week started strong but then I caught my partner's cold and progress came to a halt as my brain turned to soup. ?

 

Criminal Girls: Invite Only - Vita - 47% -> 56% -> 59%

Back to the grind. Made it back to the Education Block so the end in getting closer.

 

Death End re;Quest - PS4 - 17% -> 18% -> 20% -> 30% -> 50%

Normal ending completed, now doing NG+ and I have to say, this game is a lot shorter when you don't stop to read everything.

 

God of War - Vita - 10%

Gotham Knights - PS5 - 23%

 

COMPLETED

 Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom - PS5

 Day of the Tentacle - Vita - 4% -> 18% -> 100%

A thoroughly enjoyable game with my levels of humour everywhere. I even gave a hearty chuckle when I found the portrait of Sam in the past.

 

Till next time my Guys, Gals and Non-Binary Pals; Happy Hunting!

Last update for this challenge, I completed what I wanted

Sturmfront PS5 4%->100%
Enter the Gungeon 0%->92%

Castle Crashers 0%->100%
Farm Sim 17 0%->100%
Minecraft Dungeons 0%->100%

 

This was a fun challenge, Enter the Gungeon was the most difficult platinum and probably top 3 or 4 most difficult out of all my platinums, so that was fun. I got a few other games I’m going to platinum after this, but when I’m done with those I plan on playing COD multiplayer more and getting really good again at that. Everyone take care and good luck.

 

 

Being a member of the Serebii.net community and a big Pokemon fan, I've seen the picture you just posted and know where it comes from in the Pokemon anime.

Anyways, I am here with a big update:

Yep, six more trophies earned, including the Jawa sub quests involving hunting down rogue droids and the Gonkbot series involving escort missions with Gonbokts ending in a big space escort mission. Also to note is the third trophy in the above pictures: This trophy shouldn't have popped so early because it involves mounting every rideable object in the game and I knew I didn't hope on the weird camel chihuahua steeds in Canto Bright! I probably did in story mode or something but the trophy popped as soon as I mounted a mechanical steed in Nikami Outpost on Jaaku. I also finally got 100% in Tatooine(which is three sub areas filled with collects) to get the trophy for the Arkanis sector(I got 100% in Genosis last night) and the southern planets of Mustafar(which you need to earn the GONK! trophy for because there is a mission in Mustafar Space which is the final Gonk mission and that won't appear until you do that side quest series), Dagobah(which I was only missing 10 Kyber Bricks in) and Utapau(which I hundreded two days ago because a lot of missions in that planet are requirements for unlocks in quests in a LOT of other planets).

 

I decided to not do Free Plays further until I have gotten 100% in all planets because by that time I'll have upgraded every class but a couple of them and have tools to get some of the most annoying challenges(like the stealth challenges for Episode 9, Level 3, where you have to sneak through a snowy town and avoid being spotted by First Order soldiers, which I failed because the guide I was using said to use Darth Vader because it prevents you from failing the challenge if you get spotted, but I failed because I forgot I had Dark Aura of Fear upgraded to Level 2, which causes NPCs to flee screaming bloody murder whenever a Dark Side character approaches them, so the soldiers spotted me and freaked out. And I thought the challenge to avoid getting hit by Jango Fett's shock bombs was hard! ?

 

I'm not doing any level challenges until the only Kyber Bricks left are the ones in Free Play mode. Since I can't go tot he gym if my best friend isn't there and he's bedridden due to f'king COVID Omicron, which him, his girlfriend, and the child they made together got f'king infected by some BS RNG, My exercise schedule is going to be wack for the rest of the month so I have lpenty of time to stay up all night and knock out these stupid collections.

 

(And yes, I downloaded the PS5 version of Skywalker Saga but I am going to be doing challenges in Free Roam after every episode so I can just try to get everything before the next episode. I won't be playing that until I get this platinum.)
