I don't have much to update, but I have another time travel question..

 

Does the Time Travel in Fairy Tail counts as time travel (technically there's people coming from the past to the present and from the future to the present, during the Arc that the game takes place..).

 

If so, book me for the 1st Doctor.

 

I will be working on Fairy Tail for my 18k trophy, so, there will not be much else going before that..

 

I've had a good think about it, now I don't know the game or the manga.

 

But I will say that with the rules that I wrote. I said that the game must feature time travel. For Fairy Tail to count, it will be allowed if we actively see characters either coming or leaving the present. I don't know the name of any characters to google to establish if it'd be counted, if you enlighten me as to any names, I'd be happy to check for you.

Ok, we don't "see" them coming from the future, it's 2 different versions of 2 characters, kind of like Dragon Ball Z Future Trunks, they arrive some time before outside of the party view do some stuff and eventually show themselves to the party.

 

The ones coming from the past we kind of see them crossing the gate/portal. We don't see visually them crossing the gate in-game..

 

We see some of them disappear (in a way, return to their own time line, they don't die, but not sure if that counts).

 

For some visual references of what happen:

 

Some arrive in that video at around 4:02.30 to 4:07, they disappear at around 5:20 (the video is a playthrough of a good chunk of the story.. so, there are obviously spoilers).

 

 

 

Other then, that, there's an image in-game that describes the time travel entanglement in "the present".. I'm unsure if that's easy to read without background info.. but the present is the dot in the middle (7/7).

That's good enough for me, well tbh it was that incombination with the overly complicated timeline that clinched it. Perfect Timey Wimey confusion.

 

Short story shorter: Yes it is allowed.

 

I'll update the chart.

[Han_the_Dragon]

Ok, thanks!!!

 

I may still get Steins;Gate Elite after this too, but now I can rest better knowing that I will be able to at least get 1 game in 2 categories (the quick one isn't forgotten, I'm just doing trophy management until I get Fairy Tail platinum set up done).

Call me a pro golfer coz I just finished PGA Tour 2k23. My first time playing a golf game in a while and i have to say it was relatively fun. Time to work on Deathloop 

[VersusCA]

I bagged another 2 Ultra Rare platinums to end the month of August!

 

First, the Fourth Doctor gets another entry with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. MW3 has always seemed like the least loved of the original Modern Warfare trilogy, but I like it well enough. It has decent variety of environments and objectives within the Call of Duty formula of corridor shooting and improbable set piece battles - though that formula certainly feels dated now! I enjoyed the DLC as it was fun to have straight forward special operations missions that are easily done alone instead of the zombie maps from the later titles where you need a group of 4 people and then have to follow a dozen steps (and maybe get some good RNG) to do the various easter eggs.

 

And then last and certainly least: Madden 22 is another entry for the Fifth Doctor. Madden games are notoriously easy ultra rares and this one was no different. I like NFL a little, but even if you had literally never heard of it you could still plat this as it is mostly menu navigation. Unfortunately some of the trophies are badly glitched, and the last one I had to wait almost a week to find help with - the lists are always the same so it was one you could normally do alone, but this year I could only get it to pop with a partner. So it was still easy, but very annoying in the end.

[DrBloodmoney]

Coming in hot, just like a Tardis through time! (I assume, unfamiliar as I am with the actual show!) 😂

 

Got both my planned completions finished last night:

 

Star Trek Resurgence, for the War Doctor....

 

and

The Cave, for the 7th Doctor!

 

 

 

[BlackSquirrell1]

Have completed the second game:

 

Chicory: A Colorful Tale (The Seventh Doctor):

 

Wow!  What a great game!  Had a blast coloring the pages and following the storyline.  Many collectibles - some where you are ranting at the game, but finally finished.  I think the hardest part was trying to figure out the way to some of the places on the map.  Highly recommend it, and for those of you that are sitting on the fence on this one, this game is leaving the PS Plus catalog THIS MONTH!  Grab a game that is refreshing and beautifully draw.

 

I give this game 👍👍👍👍👍!

[Breakingthegreen]

Welcome to September, there's four weeks left until the end of this event. First of all, let's discuss a country that Doctor's without Borders have been working in.

 

Haiti (Click for more info)

 

Haiti has been experiencing political instability most tangibly caused by the fuel price increases, still real-ling from the Earthquake in 2021, and is experiencing a cholera epidemic. Haiti is has the lowest GDP out of every country in South America, so to compensate, DWB have over 1 thousand full time staff to help the people who've got caught up in violence either gang based or domestic. In fact, an DWB had to close down a hospital after a violent intrusion in July, and have only resumed operations earlier this week. Any donations would help keep people safe in their hospitals.

 

 

Anyway time for a major tone shift because I've finished a game, and I'd meant to write the donation plea yesterday, but reading about Haiti got me depressed, so started watching The Traitors Australia, and then I finished the game I was going to submit today, so now this post is a double post. 

 

So I'm continuing with getting points for the 13th Doctor in the form of Lego Dimensions (PS3). And I went further and managed to do all the DLC. (no extra points for this, but there were tonnes of lego figures that were now off my shelf, so I may as well get it 100% completed. There are a lost of Dr Who actors featured including Nicolas Briggs or Mark Williams, but if you have Doctor Who level pack, then all Doctors up to 12 are playable, with new lines for the game from Peter Capaldi.

 

 

Have you played a Lego game before, well then you've played this one, but I do like it. I already had the PS4 version and was given the PS3 disc as a birthday gift, and I already had all of my Lego figures on my shelf. So it was the cheapest week of my life that I've wasted, so that's fun.

 

This is one of those Toy-to-Life games that were popular in the mid 2010s. Unlike most of those games, Lego Dimensions actively plays with portal, like using the colour emitted from the portal being used to find a unseen item, or using the positions on the portal to change the size of the characters. It varies between being really cool, to a tad annoying, especially if you play all the levels in the space of 10 days, there was a reason these levels were released over the course of 3 years.

 

The PS3 version is not the way I'd recommend playing this game, load times are abysmal, and entering the TARDIS (which was instant on PS4) puts a loading circle on screen for 5-10 seconds. When ever you place Portals as Chell, the game roles a dice as to whether it's going to crash, and sometimes it just glitches or crashes for fun.

 

I've played all the level and story packs recently, so I feel equipped to rank them, which I'll do now:

 

1. Base Pack (Batman, Gandalf and Wildstyle): Well paced story with lots of variety in style, manages to remain focused of the Lord Vortech plotline. The credits song is basically a Portal 3 song. Do give that a listen at least.
2. Doctor Who Level Pack (Twelfth Doctor): I am biased, But it really is a very good level with Time travel mechanics, featuring Davros and Trenzalor. The main body of the level was set in the distant future of 2025, christ time is cruel. The Tardis is also pretty essential if you want to get the most out of this game, you can find spots in the game that can transport you to mini levels for some franchises other franchises like Red Dwarf and the Jetsons. As well as a couple of Dr Who levels based on 'Dinosaurs on a Spaceship' and 'The Tenth Planet'.
3. Portal 2 Level Pack (Chell): Genuinely feels like a decent 'Portal 3 What If?' Steven Merchant returns as the least competent robot. Ellen McClain is back in full force too. Puzzles are genuinely great to, if you decide not to drop the Sonic the Hedgehog plane to jump over the waste.
4. Adventure Time Level Pack (Finn the Human): I've not watched the cartoon, but I can tell that this packs humour follows it very closely and tempts me to watch the show.
5. Ghostbusters 2016 Story Pack (Abby Yates): Most of the time that Lego just uses archive voices, it doesn't work, but the Ghostbusters reboot is a very physical comedy that works surprisingly well when converted to Lego. There is new recordings for the gameplay too, but Melissa McCarthy was recast disappointingly
6. The Goonies Level Pack (Sloth) The Sloth minifigure actually contains all 8 of the goonies, which is cool, and very useful since I didn't have any short characters. The story follows Sloths elements of the movie and actually includes the cut octopus in a fun little Easter Egg.
7. Sonic the Hedgehog Level Pack (Sonic the Hedgehog): I'm not a Sonic fan at all, but the first half of the level that plays like a remake of the first game was really fast and fun, second half of the level was really slow and boring. 
8. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them  Story Pack (Newt Scamander): On the same level as Lego Lord of the Rings or Avengers, in the sense that it's mostly archive audio with six level per movie. The main four actors have additional lines for the game though, so that's nice.
9. Mission Impossible Level Pack (Ethan Hunt): Mostly archive audio, but the biggest weakness was that Ethan Hunt didn't have any new dialogue which makes the level feel unreactive. It has stealth elements, but I didn't play along since it didn't actually matter if you got caught. The level is also ridiculously long, long enough for me to understand the movie? I had to go on Wikipedia to understand who betrayed Ethan.
10. Ghostbusters Level Pack (Dr Peter Venkman): All Movie audio, but the ghost pack is what annoyed me more, catching ghosts was far more streamlined in the 2016 version.
11. The Lego Batman Movie Story Pack (Robin and Batgirl): The audio is recorded for the game, you'd think that I would appreciate the absence of archive audio this time, but no. It's markedly less funny than the movie. The disappointment gets this one marked down far.
12. Midway Arcade Level Pack (Gamer Kid): This level serves as a way to play very old computer games that I hadn't heard of, it's very cool. I have no nostalgia for these games, I find them quite dull. I like that this exists far more than the concept of playing it
13. The Simpsons Level Pack (Homer Simpson): This is a remake of "The Mysterious Voyage of Homer" but it only licenced the audio from Johnny Cash and Dan Castellaneta, so Marge who's the answer to the episode is silent for no reason.
14. Back to the Future Level Pack (Marty McFly): I love the BttF movies, they're great. All new audio, so that's nice. But the level is only 15 minutes long, and I reckon I could finish it in 5 minutes with a flying vehicle. The plot line with Marty's parents is completely absent (you know, the whole point of the first film.) The DeLorean is the only thing that saves this pack, because it's cool to see the same level in a different time period. (but even that ability is available in the Doc Brown Fun Pack.)

 

That took ages to type, I'll update the main post after some chores I was meant to do half an hour ago.

Done one for the 3rd Doctor now with Grid Legends and thank god that it's over. Definitely the worst, most unfinished mish mash of a racing game I've ever played. It doesn't know whether it wants to be an arcade racer or a sim racer. Filled with bugs and glitches were I'd just freeze for a few seconds before carrying on or a driver ahead whilst driving down a straight would just spin out. The graphics were poor and filled with pop ins including cars that had wrecked would just appear in front of you. 

 

Enough rambling though, I hated the game but I'm happy I helped raise some more money 

[Xylobe]

@Breakingthegreen Would I be able to apply A Castle Full of Cats to 9th - Nonviolent? Current 50th completion is 95 minutes, which is right on the borderline, and my completion was under 90. Feels to me like it could go either way.

[Breakingthegreen]

On 8/2/2023 at 12:49 PM, Breakingthegreen said:

"If you complete the game in less than 90 minutes but the 50th fastest time is slower than 90 minutes, you may add it to this section, but you can also add it to other categories instead."

 

@Xylobe Here's a rule that's written in the 8th Doctor section that is pertinent to your query. 

 

I've played the game too so I know it's non violent. You can put the game in either the 8th or 9th category.

[DrBloodmoney]

S'up y'all...

 

 

Gonna add my third game to the overall counter, and my second for the "War Doctor" category, with...

 

 

The plot revolves around a ceaseless (and seemingly cyclical) war between the last remaining humans and the Demon Army...

 

...so should qualify for the category, I think!

Hey, all! Congrats on all the progress and completions everyone's made. I've finished two rhythm games for the event that would count for the 2nd Doctor.

 

AVICII Invector

 

This rhythm game was a bit of a mixed-bag, if I'm being honest. The story was so lackluster it was almost non-existent (though I appreciated the space theme), and the timing windows for hitting notes were rough and different for each note type, even when accounting for an overall timing offset that you could customize. But, the music was fantastic in my opinion. If you're a fan of AVICII (or dance/electronic music) you won't be disappointed with the set-list (even if it is on the smaller side for a rhythm game). And, it was my genuine enjoyment of the music that made the gameplay issues bearable.

 

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

 

This was my planned game for the 2nd Doctor, and it was an absolute joy. This game was a true love letter to the music of the Final Fantasy series (and other Square Enix titles, if you got the DLC), and, as someone who grew up on Final Fantasy games, it was a wonderful hit of nostalgia. The Series Quest mode of the game, where you spend the bulk of your time, takes you through the notable battles of the games in song form without spoiling the stories of the actual games. Plus, the way you hit notes can be taken down to two buttons and your dualshock 4's joysticks / analog sticks, making it very beginner friendly, even when the way the notes are presented is changed up. I also appreciated how the game incorporated light RPG elements by having you level characters and have them use spells and other abilities (which you can customize) to defeat the monsters in each stage as you hit the notes. (The battle portion is automated. You just have to hit the notes).

 

The Music Stages portion of the game functions the way a typical freestyle mode does in other rhythm games, in the sense that you can play any of your unlocked songs at the difficulty level of your choice. And, with 4 difficulties and literally hundreds of songs to choose from (even without the DLC), there is a wealth of content that you get to play through. You don't need the DLC or Deluxe edition of the game to get the platinum. You can get it with the Standard version of the game. And, the Deluxe edition and DLC do not give additional trophies. But, I do think there were a lot of great DLC songs, which added to my personal experience.

 

There is an online mode, where you compete with up to 3 other people. But, there are no trophies attached to it, and it's mostly dead at this point. Having said that though, this was a fantastic game that I would absolutely get the plat for again, if I could.

Spelling issues.

[Breakingthegreen]

Hello again friends, we're about halfway through the event at this point, so I'll make a Stats post and Donation appeal tomorrow, but for now I would like to that I've done a third game for the 13th Doctor category, and that is the FMV Dating game: Five Dates, containing the main companion of Jodie Whitaker's tenure: Mandip Gill.

 

 

This game actually surprised me in a couple of ways which make me sound insane out of context. Firstly I was surprised that it wasn't a horror game, which I admit makes me seem like I was burnt by playing DDLC, but my reason is that I'm somewhat familiar with the publisher's (Wales Interactive) other FMV titles, The Bunker was a fascinating point 'n' click which was a psychological horror, and most of the other titles seem horror themed like Night Book. There's also Late Shift which is horror too... In the sense that I think the game is horrible. 

 

The second way that the game surprised me was just how pleasant the game was, if I was gonna guess that the game wasn't a horror, I would have guessed a raunchy romantic comedy where sexual innuendos would be used as every other line of dialogue. I was very wrong, every single character in this game is written very well and acted even better. It's probably not surprising since a number of the actors do have some pedigree behind them (one of them was in 63 episodes of Vikings!)

 

The game is a Dating Sim recorded and set in the UK COVID Lockdowns, which makes this game a hell of an achievement if nothing else. The game released in November 2020 and could only have started in March at the absolute earliest. 

 

I don't typically play Dating Sims, but my initial reaction was to be honest with my beliefs, but as soon as I noticed that there were stats for how well I was wooing the dates, honesty went right out the window, and competitiveness entered my head instead.

 

I tend to find a lot of Wales Interative's earlier games to have very bad audio, but since this was record and set in the 2020 Lock-down, it naturally does sound like it's recorded at home. One thing I hated though was that there was no setting to make the sound effects quieter since I struggled to hear the conversations, but un-pausing the game genuinely annoyed the person in the neighbouring room.

 

Some of the stories of the potential dates sometimes felt unresolved, at least with how I played it, one is a drug addict of some nature, but I genuinely don't know the degree, or if there's a scene asking her about it. Instead talking about her other problems that I won't spoil.

 

I'd got the game on sale a while ago, and for the £6 I spent it's pretty good, but a bit too short for the £15 the game normally asks for. A single playthrough lasting about an hour at most. 

[SeedersPhD]

So I've done one for the War Doctor and one for the Twelfth Doctor, neither of which being the games I assumed I was going to do!

 

War Doctor: So when I purchased Task Force Delta: Afghanistan, what I was expecting was like a 5-6 hour generic war shooter with mild amount of overly-enthusiastic American propaganda. Turns out what I actually got was a <1 hour asset flip that I am simultaneously ashamed of and impressed that it managed to even get approved for release. I really don't have much to say, the game is absolutely not worth your time and is easily up there as one of the worst things on the Playstation Store, but I gotta admit it still tickled my funny bone as someone who does get a kick out of perusing the trash. Not proud of this one but technically it counts (definitely plan to nab something a bit more...substantial at some point...)

 

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/21104-task-force-delta-afghanistan/SeedersPhD

 

Twelth Doctor: Unlike the last game, Risk of Rain 2 is ACTUALLY A REAL GAME. Not to mention, a fantastic one at that as an extremely satisfying and interesting third-person shooter rougelike. I had booted it up once before on Playstation but this was finally me getting into the thick of it and this plat I am definitely more satisfied with. My only real issue is that the trophy list is...kinda odd? Like there's a ton of stuff that shoulda been trophies and a ton of stuff that shouldn'ta been trophies. Like unlocking an artifact or beating Mithrix weren't trophies but pushing 20 hermit crabs off the map and holding 5 lunar items at once are? Regardless, beating an elite boss on monsoon difficulty made up a bit less then a third of my 22-hour run time as it's kinda just obnoxious. You can either unlock the artifact that makes EVERY ENEMY elite and struggle super hard because the game is straight up not designed for that and many deaths feel out of your control or you can play monsoon normally and finding an elite boss will take FOREVER. Regardless, got it done in the goofiest way possible and got the plat! Even with that one bullshit trophy, I do highly recommend this game still!

Sidenote: I totally platted Ape Escape: On the Loose during this period and was gonna record it for the Twelfth Doctor...turns out I mixed up timeloop and time travel. Woulda platted it any cuz it's fucking Ape Escape but yeah, not my proudest moment...

Hey fellow War Doctor buddy.... I think this makes us Brothers in Arms! 😂👍

 

[Hitman_Spinksy1]

Another one done for the 4th Doctor with 

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India 100%

 

I thought I would like it more than I did seen as I'm getting a bit into Assassin's Creed lately and platforming games are a genre favourite for me but it wasn't so great. It wasn't bad but it wasn't all that good either. It requires two playthroughs; one a pacifist run, the other a stealth run on hard. It wasn't overly difficult as the checkpoints were very forgiving. A few of the killing trophies near the end were rather grindy, mainly multi-kill. I may try the other two in the future but I'm guessing more of the same but it looks like maybe a tad bit harder. 

Now we are half way to the goal so good job everyone and let's keep it up

Donanation Plea time, I hope that these pieces of research teach you all.

 

Kiribati(Click here for the source)

 

Kiribati has only had Doctor's without borders start operations last year. It's a multi island nation which is very low lying in the Pacific Ocean. While it may sound pleasant, this low altitude nation is at a heightened risk of the consequences of climate change. Floods have reduced the level of amount of arable land so less fresh crops can be produced for Kiribati's citizens; this causes food shortages that paradoxically are increasing the obesity rate since unhealthy food is easier to come by. Currently Doctor's without Borders are focusing their efforts on maternity health, and have assisted over 500 births in the nation, which impressively is about 1 in 250 of the population living there.

 

Okay that plea was slightly lighter than most of the others, not that they don't need the help, but it's nice for me to not read another civil war.

 

Anyway we're halfway through! (Not really, I'm going to a wedding on Sunday and don't know how much of my time it'll use)

 

Mid Way Stats and Summaries !

 

The Top Doctor

 

Currently this competition has no set winner, both of the leading Doctors have 4 completions each, it's The Fourth Doctor and The Fifth Doctor! 

 

 

The categories contain the "Large Franchise" games and "Sports" game. Now, I'm not that surprised about large franchise one being popular, but the I am genuinely impressed that the sports games are managing to keep up.

 

This feat was achieved by @Hitman_Spinksy1 @VersusCA @WDB_Chaotic

 

 

Top Game

 

There has been one game that appeared more than the others *How many times did it appear Green?* Twice, it appeared twice. It's Grid Legends!

 

 

This was a PS Plus Essential title released... some point this year no surprise that this game got played for the Third Doctor's racing category (No Bessie though). And judging by the mini reviews that out trophy hunters gave, I reckon that they loved the time they spent with the game . (The Game also has the 15th Doctor in it, we could have dominated the 13th Doctor category you fools! Jk jk) 

 

Racing for this match up was: @GT__Jedi @Hitman_Spinksy1

 

 

Unseen Game

 

Most of people here are cowards, afraid to take risks on anything with less than 100 owners, one person was brave enough though, and they played Task Force Delta: Afghanistan

 

 

"Small pockets of appealing visuals can’t paper over the vast number of issues with Task Force Delta – Afghanistan. A tasteless and out-of-touch set-up, incredibly poor AI and an unbalanced health system result in a rough and decidedly sub-par first person shooter. 3/10" - Finger Guns review. Sounds great...

 

Endured by @SeedersPhD

 

I guess unpopular games must be bad... wait a sec... there's an even less popular game: Sephonie

 

 

That 72 on Metacritic looks like gold dust right now. It only has 35 owners across 4 stacks.

 

Discovered by @Xylobe

 

Top Player

 

At this halfway point the top player is @VersusCA, with a total of Five completions. No surprise that she has also contributed to both the winning categories.

 

 

Can you do better? You're welcome to try in the 21 remaining days of the T.A.R.D.I.S Event.

Oooooh, I love the Event stats!

 

I think most of us (including myself) predominately associate MSF with caring for war wounds and treating serious diseases. I sometimes hear about their work doing things like cataract surgeries in incredibly impoverished nations, and it's always a nice reminder that MSF doesn't solely perform work in dangerous areas.

[GT__Jedi]

These event stats are fantastic!  Congrats to all who are participating in this great event, and kudos to my fellow racer @Hitman_Spinksy1

 

@Breakingthegreen  15th Doctor?  How did I miss that!  😄

[SeedersPhD]

Got another game done for the War Doctor! This time it is Killzone Liberation, the PSP spinoff.

 

You ever play a game and been able to pinpoint the EXACT time the game becomes terrible? Killzone Liberation is one of those and the boss at the end of III-4 is the moment. What was a game that was fairly impressive despite its flaws immediately falls apart when the Spider Tank makes you realize that precision aiming in the game is barely, if at all, functional. And this is only if you're able to recall something told to you in the tutorial that many players don't use until this point, forgetting it completely. The game never really improves after this either and the only saving grace is that for some reason the platinum doesn't require you to play the last chapter at all...

 

Everything before the Spider Tank is actually pretty good with enough challenge to keep things interesting but yeah...can't really recommend it...

Earned two platinums for this event within the last 24 hours! 

 

11th Doctor | Optional Romance - Game #2

Hades | Platinum

Hades is a phenomenal rogue-lite hack'n'slash game. You play as Zagreus, son of Hades who is trying to escape from the Underworld. During your numerous escape attempts, you begin to forge friendships with many of the game's characters. Three of those characters are available as romance options - the Gorgon Dusa, the Fury Megaera, and the God Thanatos. The romances are so optional that there isn't even a trophy related to them! 😂

 

I still went through and romanced all three characters (which can all be done in a single playthrough) as I wanted to experience as much of the game as possible. Considering how much dialogue you get with each character as you improve your bond of friendship with them, I will say that I was a bit surprised at how little additional dialogue is provided once you've romanced one or more of them. 

 

11th Doctor | Optional Romance - Game #3

Mass Effect 2 (Legendary Edition) | Platinum

 

Mass Effect 2 is one of my all-time favorite videogames, hands down. It has the best "sequel opening" I've personally ever encountered in a game, and the stakes are real for the dangerous mission that you spend most of the game preparing for. You have a much larger roster of squadmates in this game compared to ME1, and the Loyalty Mission system really makes you connect with your squad. 

 

You can stay faithful to one of the three characters you might have romanced in ME1 (Liara, Ashley, or Kaidan). However, Liara is the only one whom you can deepen a romantic relationship with - and only a little bit via DLC. Instead, ME2's romance scenes are all reserved for new potential romantic relationships. Bro!Shep can get together with Miranda, Tali, and Jack; Fem!Shep can get together with Jacob, Garrus, and Thane. Either Shepard can begin a relationship with Kelly Chambers or try to romance Samara or Morinth, but those three will not unlock the Paramour achievement.

I was wondering why I saw so much gay fan art of those two. This has also informed me that Orpheus isn't a romance...  I wanted to fix that broken heart (and to try to teach him some new songs for once.)
