@BlackSquirrell1 What did you think of Virginia? I enjoyed it, but the ending was a total mind fuck. Also not sure why they were so fixated on bison…bison are native to western North America, not Virginia!

Can't agree with you more!  Ending was like WTF?  The whole bison thing kept me wondering if I missed something in the story.....

Update

- République - 100% 

- Metro Last Light - 4%

- The Witcher 3 - 6% Wild Hunt - Rage - 12%

- White Night - 7% Metal Gear Solid 4 - 7%
- The Last of us Part 2 - 2%

 

Sadly I have no updates on my progress, and it’s getting worse…

I’ll make use of my last swap. I’m replacing Rage with The Witcher 3. That will probably be the only game I’ll be playing for the remainder of this challenge

I did finish a couple of games but none that where eligible for the challenge. Both Beyond Two Souls and Riptide GP Renegade are finally off my list after 6 and 7 years being on there!

Of course I’ll try and maybe get White Knight done somewhere in between but my main focus will be on The Witcher 3!

 

Good luck again to all and have fun!!!

White Night is good once you get used to the collecting of everything. Chapter 6 is evil though, it has the most annoying section to play through but once you do, it's plain sailing.

Update 3

1. The Witcher 3 (9-->12%)
2. Stray (100%)
3. Spyro the Dragon (100%)
4. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (0%)
5. Mass Effect (7-->14%)
6. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (37-->40%)

Was really hoping that I would have more progress to report by the halfway point, but here we are.

I restarted the Witcher 3 on Death March and popped a few additional miscellaneous trophies as I slowly work my way back to where I was before restarting. One of them popped randomly when I somehow got Geralt stuck between a tree and a dead horse, which apparently counted as sliding for 10 seconds.

I have been replaying the levels for challenges and minikits in LEGO Star Wars, and then I will work on the open world sections. Just need to sit down and commit to the grind on this one, but it is easily my favorite Lego game.

I just started in on Mass Effect again today and should be able to knock this one out in a week or so. The plot is just starting to pick up and I am starting to understand why it is so beloved in spite of the fairly clunky combat.

[Vulpine9Tails]

Ok I figured my life out a bit here. I know what I am going to swap:

 

6. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - 0% -> Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - 2%

18. Unravel - 0% -> Mafia Definitive Edition - 3%

 

This is all my swaps used up. Hellblade is short and I really should have just done it but it's one of those games where you have to be in the right mood to get the maximum enjoyment out of it and it just isn't happening. I also really don't want to do Unravel yet. It's another that I did on an old account and there's a few levels/trophies that are putting me off wanting to do it again so I'll put it off until later like I do all my other games. At lease I genuinely want to play Mafia and it's one I have never played before. Exciting!

[Fanatixa1]

Hi everyone, 

 

Here's an update from me. I got the platinum and 100% in Toem. A really cute game that reminded me a bit of Chicory. This game was a lot shorter tho and the gameplay is different. Other then that I've played more Hogwarts Legacy. I'm enjoying mostly the world, but not too sure about the story. It doesn't have me too invested for some reason. Maybe also because there's many distractions in the world. 

 

I'm hoping to complete PowerWash Simulater in the coming week. I'm almost done with the story and have the challenges left. Shouldn't be too much of a problem I think. I also started A Plague Tale Requiem. The start of the game is quite dramatic, but I remember enjoying the first one, so I will keep playing it. 

 

Have a good week everyone! 

 

1. The Artful Escape 100% 

2. God of War Ragnarök - 100% 

3. PowerWash Simulator - 58% --> 80%

4. Dead Cells - 49%

5. Block-a-Pix Deluxe • EU - 38% --> 41%

6. Hogwarts Legacy - 4% --> 12%

7. A Plague Tale: Requiem - 0% --> 3%

8. Toem - 0% --> 100%

Disgaea 4 Complete+: 45% => 57%

 

Finally, after some time with POWGI, I finally got back to this game. I completed the other character endings and cleared both bonus episodes(The Fuka & Desco Show, and the Time Leap episode), so now I was able to get all the monster skills(although it says it's at 99.99%) and a lot more skills. Also got the trophy for getting all tiers of every class after finding out that I needed Celestial Host, which you get after completing the Fuka & Desco Show, it appears in the "Seeking Help" bonus material along with Axel's partner Pink the Death Saber.

 

I need to go to bed. I got into a tiff with my parents over my blood pressure and now I have to get scheduled for a doc appointment to adjust my blood meds. Being middle-aged sucks. Also, POWGI sucks as I have to finish up Wordsweeper, I have a lot of boring puzzles to do.

[freddie1989]

Update time and another decent one!!

 

Finished Stray off. Not sure what to say on this one. Visually it looks awesome but beyond that it doesn't have much after the initial charm. Speedruns just don't allow enjoyment whatsoever and are utterly pointless. Then just did the clean up to get it finished and off the list.

 

Made a start on Doom, finished first mission and it was pretty fun just for its utter violence it brings. Will get back to it fairly soon.

 

Most of my time was spent with Mafia. Love this, the story is brilliant, the gameplay is fairly clunky as you would expect but it is made up for elsewhere. Just made a start on free ride for collectibles and then I will be on to the infamous classic mode. The race is giving me the shakes already as I got shafted on normal difficulty so I expect some disdain by the end of that.

 

May make a swap as not feeling the others yet (want Valhalla in my life but it is a huge time sink so delaying it)

 

Lego DC Super Villains 100%

Dishonored 2 0%

Mafia 10% - 49%

Doom 0% -1%

Final Fantasy XV 0%

Assassins Creed Valhalla 0%

Stray 54% - 100%

Update #5

 

Hi everyone, hope you are all well ?

 

Not a huge amount to update this past week. I was a bit distracted by Overwatch as the new hero launched last week, but I'm not paying real money to unlock him so I've been grinding my daily and weekly challenges to get up the battle pass and unlock him for free. Thankfully it's not taking too long, I'm currently at BP level 20 and Lifeweaver unlocks at level 45, so I think another week of grind and then I can knock out the new trophies. They look pretty easy too which is nice ?.

 

Also going to use my first swap. I started playing Shadow of the Colossus last week, and that's probably a more realistic completion than RDR2 in the remaining time of the challenge. I've killed 3 of the 16 colossi and already feel like a monster ?

 

Other than that, I've continued playing through SMT 3. Making good progress here, completed the Puzzle Boy trophies, and I've reached the point in the story where decisions made affect the ending of the game, so strategic save points are in play now. This means I don't have to play through the first 20 hours of the game again multiple times, as there are 6 different endings you need to see for the trophies.

 

Next week I'll probably be distracted again by Overwatch, as well as the Horizon Forbidden West DLC. But I've got my new contact lenses so should make more progress on Horizon VR.

 

Keep up all the great work everyone ?

 

Trophy progress:

- SMT 3 Nocturne - 19 -> 31%

- Shadow of the Colossus - 0 -> 7%

 

Pending games:

- Horizon Call of the Mountain - 9%

 

Completed games:

- Spiderman Remastered

- Legend of Dragoon

 

Swaps:

- Red Dead Redemption 2 -> Shadow of the Colossus

Update 7:

 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend - outside of the usual household chores, pet maintenance and workouts, my weekend was pretty much consumed by Resident Evil 4 Remake. This game is definitely on my GOTY 2023 contender list so far. This year is already shaping up to be a banger for me in terms of game releases, i'm definitely eating well!

 

Resident Evil 4

As far as Resident Evil 4 Remake goes, I'm feeling very close to the platinum, but at the same time i'm looking at a few more full runs through the game. One of the trophies is to complete all of the merchant requests dotted throughout the game. For anyone not familiar - these are basically the equivalent of side tasks - e.g shoot down X amount of blue medallions in an area. I was using a guide on my last playthrough to make sure to get them all, but for some reason, I missed one completely. Guess I needed more coffee at the time! There is backtracking to some extent, but not entirely and this missed task was something I was unable to go back to complete.

 

So now I have to do the following:

• Complete a run only using a pistol and a knife.
• Complete all merchant requests
• Complete a run never talking to the Merchant.

I think I can technically do the last two in one playthrough, but I need to check, my theory is that I can complete all of the requests but wait to actually hand them in until the final chapter. Save the game. Turn all of the completed requests in at once and pop the 'complete all requests' trophy, then reload to the point before I handed them all in, finish the game and pop the 'never talk to the merchant trophy'.

 

It might seem cheap (if it works), but I've played through this game about 10 times in total with various S and S+ rankings so far, so I'm going to allow myself this ?

 

So the Tl:dr is - I have about 2-3 more playthroughs ahead of me before that platinum is in the bag. I reckon i'll have this sorted this week!

 

Destiny 2

I need to give Destiny 2 a bit more attention as I haven't logged in for nearly a week now and I really want to keep some momentum on that going. No huge updates here

 

1. Powerwash Simulator 
2. Resident Evil 4 Remake - 50% > 91%
3. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 
4. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - 0%
5. Silent Hill 2 (PS3) - 0%
6. Evil Within 2 
7. Yakuza Kiwami  - 0%
8. Destiny 2 - 52% > 53%
9. Wolfenstein: The New Order - 0%
10. Thief 

 

In other news

In other news This week marks the week where I might end up using my final swap of the current challenge. The review embargo for Dead Island 2 lifts on the 18th April and if it gets some positive reception, i'll likely drop Silent Hill 2 for it. If I do end up doing that, i'll still absolutely pick it back up, but likely just before the remake drops to play the OG version and the remake version back to back.

 

Have a great week everyone and I'll see you all in the next update!

Update #3

1. Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart: 0% -> 62%
2. A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV: 0%
3. Final Fantasy VIII: 0%
4. Nightmares from the Deep 2: The Siren's Call: 0%
5. Final Fantasy XIV: 0% -> 7% -> 22% -> 23%

Swaps used: 0/3

 

Final Fantasy XIV: I'm almost done with the main story and can then start the trophy grind. This is one of the best games I played in quite a while. There's still a lot to do, but progress should be faster once I'm done with the story.

 

Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart: Finished the first playthrough, now need to do the bonus chapter and play through the game again to do all Mah-jong challenges.

 

On that note, I will most likely have to swap out some games as Final Fantasy XIV just takes too much time. I'm already at more than 250 hours in the game and not even close to the end. This will mean more short/easy games and no Final Fantasy VIII. Not sure yet about A King's Tale, that shouldn't take long.

[StilRh]

Hey loves.

The last week has been pretty productive on the trophy front. Even though I've spent a few days away from gaming I managed to bag 2 platinum trophies. Hogwarts Legacy and Dredge. Hogwarts was a lovely game but the trophy hunt was anticlimatic. I found Natty's quest line quite boring after Poppy and Sebastian (it felt a tad unfinished, and I wonder if there should have been more to this along with a fourth buddy as Ravenclaw doesn't have one). I used a guide for the collectables in the end, couldn't believe the last few were inside the animal pens when there are no counters to track this). Dredge was fun though I found the post game collectathon a bit of a chore as well.

In addition to those I loaded up an old save on Shantae: Half-genie Hero to see what the game state is and figure out how best to complete this (it looks like some miscellaneous trophies and then a speed run) before I consider buying the DLC. I've also been playing Star Ocean: Divine Force. It took a little bit to remember game systems but once I got reaquainted it's been a fun romp with the combat and likable characters. I've got as far as the Holy bird fight.

 

Off list I've been playing Nobody Saves the world. It was on sale and I've loved the other games from the Drinkbox studio. It's a fun, zainy game. The progression system feels good and it's fun to go meta using cross class abilities to break the game. 

 

This week I'll be looking at playing more Star Ocean, some Resident Evil 4 remake and maybe Nobody Saves the world (and may add this to the list if I do well). Having some space on my hard drive at last I'm contemplating installing Elden Ring. I also have an obligation to play Minecraft Legends (my family are obsessed with Minecraft and have asked me to play this with/for them) so that will also be in my pile. 

Have a lovely week

Disgaea 4 Complete+: 57% => 62%

 

Last night was grinding out the Item World in Disgaea 4 Complete+ to boost my power as my Level 245 Makai Wars which I built are not strong enough to deal with Land of Carnage. Finally got Pringer X Roar back online and also did the Command Attack to get Petta and her skills. I got these trophies:

• Everyone's A Critic: Finally got a Legendary Arcadia from Pringer X Roar and was diving into it to get the Trap, found Axel's stone effigy at long last on Floor 72 of the Arcadia. Blew it up and laughed.
• New Family Heirloom: Almost went for it on the Makai Wars but decided on just doing it on the Trap. Stole a nice Rarity 0 Trap from Item God in the Arcadia and went to work. Reverse Pirating can die in a fire, but I got lucky and found some RP stages that had stuff like Reverse Damage and Invincible to keep me alive until I could throw the level spheres onto my P Flonzor and just wait out the Masked Pirates(which one-shot you since they are Level 9999 with Level 999,999 stats ) until the time ran out and I got the stage clear. Did kill all the Reverse Item Lords and those level spheres got Trap from 241 to 300.
• Another Pringer Bites the Dust: This was easy. Really? Yep, because Primalliquid's video said that you can kill the Item God 2 and Gency out to get its stat boost(10x every innocent set on your weapon, which means 800x stats so I was getting 100,000 in each stat with each kill) so I ground that out until the Trap got to 1 million in all stats. (Didn't have enough Gencys to get it any further, not until I can slay Baal and open the Gency Exit Shop which sells those Exits for 1 less than a billion. ) Duped them to hell until I got nine and equipped them to Tyrant Val, Desco and her evil twin DES-X, and they all average about 8 million in stats, so when I dual giant magichanged the final bosses into swords, Tyrant Val, which a little Braveheart from Artina, was able to two shot a Pringer X Roar... in the Land of Carnage on 0 star difficulty. Trophy popped when I killed one of them. (Didn't force the fight, as I only needed to kill one of them for the trophy and they are too strong to fight all eight at once. ) I plan on taking one of those Traps I stored away and pulling it out and farming Item God 2 on it until it gets to max stats(about 20.1 million, I think) so I can one-shot Baal in the Land of Carnage.

Still unsure how to unlock Baal. I unlocked Pringer X Fight #1 when I found the bill in the Land of Carnage Cam-Pain bills.

 

Anyways, I need to sleep because I have to get back to work and I stayed up all night. See you later.

Update 2

 

So I have spent A LOT of time on the Ghost of Tsushima multiplayer this month so haven't made as much progress on this as I would have liked but have still made some progress! I completed LIS: TC and actually really enjoyed it, not as good as Max and Chloes story but I still really enjoyed my time with it. If you have PS+extra really recommend it, nice simple plat and a nice wee story. And have also made more progress with PowerWash Simulator. ?

 

1) Far Cry: New Dawn

2) Life is Strange: True Colours 

3) PowerWash Simulator 18% -> 70%

4) Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 

5) The Quarry

Bonus update time:

 

Resident Evil 4 Remake 

Resident Evil 4 remake is done and dusted! This was a great game in my opinion and definitely a contender for my GOTY 2023. I really hope Capcom give the remake treatment to Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 5 next. I wasn't a huge fan of RE5 when it came out, but if they can give it the same treatment as they did with Resident Evil 4 and maybe tone down some of the crappy action movie tropes, i'm all in.

 

Using my final swap:

The reviews are in and Dead Island 2 seems to have been received quite positively by the reviewers I follow. So I think I'll be using my final swap of the challenge. Which means Yakuza Kiwami is going to get cut and be replaced by some zombie mashing. I will absolutely go back to Yakuza as I really want to platinum the entire series over the next couple of years. But for the time being the new hotness wins out and Dead Island 2 takes it's place in my list instead.

 

The weekend ahead:

Once I have taken care of all of my real-life responsibilities and usual health routine, I'm going to spend the majority of my free time slapping zombies this weekend in Dead Island 2. I might dip into Wolfenstein as well, but I'm usually quite cautious about starting too many games at once.

 

Have a lovely rest of the week everyone, see you in the next update!

• Lost Grimoires 2: Shard of Mystery
• Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well
• Wild ARMs (PS4):
• LEGO DC Super Villains:
• LEGO Legends of Chima:
• LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin:
• Chicory: A Colorful Tale (PS5):
• Disgaea 4 Complete+: 62% => 68%
• Ni No Kuni Remastered: 2%
• Hogwarts Legacy (PS5): 24%

So I tried to do some more and pop another trophy in Hogwarts Legacy but that stupid Imelda frustrated me since I have to beat her in a race and my flying skills suck jerky. I kept getting Lakitu'd because I was flying out of the race track and couldn't align with the rings so she won. I rage quit and won't go back for a while.

 

Also, finally hit the point where I want to rage quit this event - Baal in the Land of Carnage. I forgot that he has an evility that drops a sword on your *** when you exit the base panel, and even in the non-Carnage level, he one shots every character I bring out with that ability. So I rage quit Disgaea 4 Complete+ too, but not for long - I will come back and do the extreme grinding for max stats by using Mr. Gencys to kill the Item God 2 a zillion times. Unfortunately, I cannot buy Mr. Gency Exits since that Prinny vendor appears AFTER you beat Baal, which I instantly Game Over even in the normal version of that level. So I have to dive into every dang Item World and farm for those things by clearing every 10 floors.

 

NOTE: I do need to hit Level 100 in the Item World a zillion times as that's how you get the Rank 40 and Rank 41 weapons and I need all of those for the item collection trophy and I only have one R40 weapon, the Baal Sword... I just don't feel young enough to deal with that now.

 

NOTE 2: For the record, I did get more trophies for completing the Netherbattle tournament(and getting the character there) and recruiting Prinny Kurtis(which was a big pain as he only appears in Innocent Towns in the Item World and only rarely). I also have 90% of the skills in the skills data as 'seen' and 86% of all the items.

 

Since Hogwarts is being mean and Disgaea 4 Complete+ is being mean... looks like my first goal is going back to Ni No Kuni Remastered and getting back to work on that. Farming the casino games for half a million guilders will be much more reasonable right now if I want to get any of these games done before the end of May, considering I also have to play FFXIV to get that on the map and want to try out Megaman Battle Network Legacy and the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. *sigh* ?

Week 6: Her Ghost in the Fog - Cradle of Filth

Steady progress this week even though a content update and spirit hunting in Ghostwire: Tokyo makes my progress seem like it is a standstill. Now if I could also just force my brain to go back to GotG and finish the collect-a-thon required and not download EVERY new game that appears on PS+ Deluxe, I'd be a very happy space cadet.

Sooo another update - it's been a while, been a bit lazy. Also work is picking up so not sure if I'm going to be able to get all these in time, but hey - gonna try regardless!

Here's some updates:

 

2. Stray (11%) -> 14%

 

Only got one trophy, but I'll try to play this more - can't play this around my significant other - she gets really anxious when she can't solve the puzzle. So got to time it so she's not around when I play xD. I wonder how she'll be when I decide to start Resident Evil lol.

 

6. Nier: Automata (17%) ->  100%

 

I was a bit confused about the story to be honest, at least the first round - but I enjoyed it immensely. Didn't realize it was by the same director as Drakengard (which is my favourite games from PS2, really wish they made a remake/master edition for it). Will I play Replicant? Probably. I ended up buying the trophies after the 4th playthrough, didn't want to go out and grind max level on all the weapons or go through EVERY ending. But hey, a Plat's a Plat!

 

12. The Quarry (0%) - Swap Incoming (1st of 3)

So yea, decided to remove the Quarry from the list. Unfortunately it isn't available on my PSN Plus Extra over here in the UAE. So debating on what to replace it with. I did start The Caligula Effect: Overdose seeing that it was going to go away from PSN Extra, so I might go for that (might be a bit of a grind to finish it before it goes away). There is GTA 3 (picked up the GTA Bundle on Sale) and Sid Meier's Civilization 6 (base game) as contenders. I was thinking of starting Scarlet Nexus or Resident Evil 4... or 428: Shibuya Scramble... or Vampyr or ... Nier Replicant. The choices are endless. But in the mean time, going to work on the other ones on the list while I decide.

 

23. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (13%) -> 30%

 

Taking my sweet time with this, really playing it when I want to relax, just simple questing and assassinating. Didn't have as much 'umph' as I remember back on the PS2, kinda bored with the story to be honest, but making my way through the Ezio collection so hopefully it'll come on through

Update

Tales of Berseria grind remains to be a pain, however i alternate daily between working on Tales and Dark Souls 2, Maneater i have gotten the Plat for but i probably wont do the DLC any time soon, as for Power Rangers, its been slow

A Plague Tale: Innocence

Played a bit of Death Stranding since my last update and am making progress, but was starting to feel burned out so decided to play through this, which I really ended up liking (I left more thoughts on it here).

 

Only annoying part was this section in the last chapter (spoiler-ish if you haven't played the game). It doesn't look that bad in this run but this was only because it was the first time I'd ignored the archers on the right side. Before finding out you could avoid them since they endlessly respawn, I was having to juggle keeping up with the cart and taking out both the archers and footsoldiers all while avoiding getting one-shot by arrows (and Amicia's aim isn't the best, especially when trying to deal with an up-close enemy). Then there was an annoying cutscene/animation to put up with each time I needed to get the cart rolling. ? Great game other than that small part though, would highly recommend! Also little Hugo is adorable.

 

 

 

Swaps Used (1/4)

Decided to swap Mafia II for Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. I'm going away in May and while I probably could slot it in before then, I feel I'd be rushing too much and would end up not having much fun with it (and this is the only Mafia game I have left to do, so I want to make the most of it). Sherlock should hopefully be a breezy 15-hour plat.  I'm unsure if I'll finish Death Stranding in time so I may use up another swap if necessary, but I'll try my best. In the meantime I'll aim to get Sherlock and The Town of Light done, then that'll just leave me with the Death Stranding grind.
