Also, thanks @Beyondthegrave07 for taking my idea and running with it. I'll make my next leap day plat a unique one.

Breakingthegreen Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Okay RNG be damned, because I got the Inescapable: No Rules No Rescue platinum today, I wasn't planning on completing it today until I finished the final route yesterday. and boy do I have thoughts on this game! Inescapable is a visual novel that boasts that "You'll decide the outcome", and you know what that means, you'll go along a linear path and then get to the last two or three hours where the game starts to branch, right? Right? Obviously the answer is no otherwise I wouldn't ask. Short plot overview first, you are Harrison, the Brit in this international story, and you've been kidnapped and placed on a lone island with 10 other Europeans (along with Jeffery McRayner Otterson the First, the pet rock.) And you are all being filmed for a TV show on the Dark Web, you've been given no rules other than to make the TV show interesting until you're freed with a 500,000 Euro prize six months later. To make this show interesting you will spend your time chatting with other contestants and occasionally participate in games arranged by your new friends or the production. In Inescapable the first third of the game is spent establishing what kind of visual novel you think you're playing, this means you are being tracked in much more subtle ways, and this is part of the reason that it has a mixed reception (which I'm not part of, I firmly enjoy this game.) Who you talk with, what you say and even the side activities you play will determine the kind of player you are, whether you spent you time playing Wordle, or staring down the maid's chest, it's all tracked and will determine which ending you're heading for. It's very much reminiscent of Silent Hill Shattered Memories' approach to the endings. Is that to say the endings are perfect... no, there's four proper endings and 2 of them feel incomplete, and it's a shame because the one I think is the best/true ending, ends too anticlimactically (at least it's the gayest one .) And one of the to more complete endings causes Harrison to become so unbearable, and it became hard to fathom him being a good guy in any other playthrough. I like the very diverse line up and all their quirks: I love Chica's no nonsense and level headed take on the island, I enjoyed Gio's fatherly attachment he forms with Daan and Harri, and I enjoy how Lumi's voice actor constantly sound's like she's trying to avoid waking her roommates. There are less forgivable problems, it's not uncommon for the buttons to deactivate for no good reason and you need to restart which frequent autosaves makes slightly less painful. Some game mechanics are so underutilised it's ridiculous; notably the pathfinding puzzle which every playthrough starts with, only to be abanndoned until the true ending. Overall I really like this game and it's corniness, it wears it's symbolism on it's sleeve so much that you just can't hate it. Hell, it opens with the "No man is an Island" poem, you can't hate that! _________________ So that's Two games this leap day, Spoiler I do question whether Inescapable will count as a Rare or not, because it's listed as Rare right now, but it only has 10 players so it's gonna become uncommon with 30%, so err... Help me out @Beyondthegrave07. Edited February 29 by Breakingthegreen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me out @Beyondthegrave07. I'll put an asterisk for some of them that have low player count or relatively new games. EDIT: Also, you can post plats afterwards too and no need to sign up before the event. This is more to archive what the forum community did on the once-every-4-year day.

Popular Post JungleCat20 Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 I've never earned a Leap Day trophy or platinum before, going back to 2012, 2016, and 2020. So thanks @Beyondthegrave07 for hosting this neat event. Anyway, here are my totals. I even finished with Frogger Returns (PS3). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treilio Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) I did not achieve my goal of completing 4 games on 4 different platforms, but pretty sure completing 3 games on the same day is still a new personal record for me. I underestimated how long Tales from Space and Frogger would take to complete. Edit: Links: Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack (No platinum) 14.35% Frogger: Hyper Arcade (No platinum) 12.81% Super Stardust Portable (Common) 55.55% Edited March 1 by Treilio 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfSeajay7 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Unfortunately, the only other game I was able to get the platinum on today was Gravity Duck for the PS Vita. I tried to finish Final Fantasy V and I missed a monster so I have to restart my entire game. I tried to play Wild Arms but I wasn't feeling it. In fact, I am probably just going to turn in now and wake up at midnight and get to work on some other game so Final Fantasy VII and Gravity Duck are my only lame ducks for this year. Shame as I'll be 55 years old before the next Leap Day. Congrats on all those people who got tons of games platinumed today!

Popular Post Swotam Posted March 1 Popular Post Share Posted March 1 Director of the FBC It wasn’t planned ahead of time, but I got my 2024 leap year Platinum playing Control (PS4). I played the PS5 version last year but decided to give it a replay because I really liked the game. Hopefully we’ll see Control 2 some time in the future. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beyondthegrave07 Posted March 1 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 1 This will obviously take me a while to update (likely a couple of weeks at least at this rate) so please be patient. I added a progress bar at the bottom to let people know who is still being worked on and who is currently in the queue. If you do not see your name that means I either haven't added you to the queue yet or you're added to the OP already and is finished. I am expecting some mistakes along the way so please point them out if you see them and try to be nice about it. This is very time-consuming, and I am doing this out of the kindness of my heart so I would like people to have a little empathy when posting asking for updates, pointing out mistakes, etc. Furthermore, if you would like the OP to be updated quicker, add direct links to the game in your post, the current rarity, and the name of the game. This will make it much easier to go through as I work my way through. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
