CelestialRequiem's Project Management Certfication

[CelestialRequiem]

 

I've worked in Project Management in many different industries. While the material of what you work with is dependent on the industry, it is an industry-agnostic career. Pretty much every industry needs a project manager -- even ones that are focused on day-to-day operations with no conclusive end (an example of this, would be something like a grocery store, which its entire business is around operations). With the aforementioned grocery store example, it will eventually have a project that needs to be initiated and closed (one such project could be, opening a new location, or renovations to an existing location).

 

Software, telecommunications, videos games, banking/finances -- these are all industries I have been a part of. All of them have varied in workload, pay, proprietary tools -- however, the job is always largely the same. I'm (usually) never an expert in what the material is, but only an expert on how to assign tasks, manage people/work relationships.

 

This has sort of translated to how I have organized my life, which I'm very thankful for. I live by a schedule so that I can make sure my work, even if it is recreation, gets done -- and make sure my recreational time is also scheduled. Now sometimes, having a "rec time" means just doing what I feel like in the moment, but sometimes my rec time is set for specific recreational activities. An hour is ideal for a game or some reading, but not ideal for a movie, for example.

 

Project Initiation:	For when a new game is started and trophies have been earned on my account. Though I may start a game, it doesn't mean I have the strict intent of earning all of its trophies upon initiating the title. Upon the start of a Project Initiation, I'll make the purpose clear. There are two types of Project Initiations: "Starting & Playing for Fun", and "Platinum/100".   Since I don't have a team account, this is a solo effort, unless the game I’m playing requires some sort of multiplayer/cooperation, or some other collaborative effort. So, I'm basically managing myself. All games I put on my account are with the intention of 100%ing, but it may not be from when I immediately initiate the game. I’m a player first before I’m a trophy hunter, so I may start something just to experience it and don’t mind leaving it as an open project.
Project Status Report:	This category is for when I've reached a significant milestone in the project, and the deadline is approaching. I'll talk about my preliminary thoughts, as well as if I feel like if I'll be able to meet the deadline or not. The Project Status Report will also be used if I'm returning to a game to platinum it.
Project Closure Report:	Essentially a review for the game that was 100%'d/platinum'd. I take notes throughout my time with a game, so this will be a compilation of all of my observations and experiences with the aforementioned title. The Project Closure Report will also be hyperlinked to the respective game in the opening post of this thread.
Retrospective Write-up:	Given that I have a cache of games to write about as I'm almost at fifty platinums, I'll be revisiting games that I have platinum'd, and write about the game and my experiences with the plat, as I familiarize myself with the title. Titles by PlatinumGames will have their own classification with a Reflection Write-up, as well as a higher effort put into talking about the game. I'll always replay games when possible. The biggest hurdle that could impact these write-ups, would be the termination of online services for a game. For example, Babylon's Fall was an online-only title, and it's impossible to play now.   Another example where online functionality could impact the Retrospective Write-up, would be a game such Armored Core: Verdict Day, where the best content is simply inaccessible.

 

 

 

 

-About Me-

Beyond my interests in film, music, manga, novels and weeb shit, gaming is my favorite hobby. It’s something I started doing before I could even read. Ultimately, I have my father to thank for getting me into video games. Like a lot of our parents I wager, he loved playing games at the arcade. His favorite game was Dig-Dug and would play it with me whenever I was playing it; we always had some sort of Namco compilation that would have the game. Despite him only really playing 2D games, he clicked with early 3D titles on the PS1. My mother had a very similar affinity for the original Pac-Man, though that’s where her interest in games started and ended.  Anyway, speaking of the original PlayStation, that’s where my gaming journey began.

 

Like many kids, I was incredibly obsessed with dinosaurs (a favorite of mine being the Archaeopteryx still to this day), so my folks got me all sorts of dinosaur related media. The Land Before Time movie series, Jurassic Park on VHS, recorded tapes of Walking with Dinosaurs, various coloring books, etcetera. Because of this, my scumbag father decided he would steal a PlayStation from a Best Buy in 1999, coupled with my first video game, Dino Crisis. The logic he no doubt had at the time in his mind was “This video game has dinosaurs, and my dumbass kid loves dinosaurs.”

 

I was just a child, and had no business playing this game, lol. Often, I wanted to play the game, but I needed either of my parents to be present with me because I was too scared otherwise. What didn’t help was if I got attacked, my father would just laugh at the situation when I would be panicking. Pretty much every session of me playing the game had me crying at some point, I’m sure. However, with my dad assisting me in stuff that required reading or him trying to solve a puzzle himself, I would eventually beat Dino Crisis sometime after the new year of 2000. My exposure to Dino Crisis which brought me to love many Capcom games, as well as horror games in general before they got really boring.

 

PlatinumGames is my favorite developer of all-time, which I’m sure is a shock to no one. I’ll get into them more at a later date, but for now, I’ll say that they have been a bigger part of my life than I had initially realized when I started playing their games. I like games with a lot of action that also have high player expectations. I did also grow up with Pokemon, however, my love comes inherently from nostalgia, as how those games are designed are not something that aligns with my general interests. If I’m playing a Pokemon game, it’s usually an older one. My first one was Pokemon Red, though my love and interest nosedived after the fourth generation of games.

In modernity, my other two favorite developers are FromSoftware and Team NINJA. Between Souls, Ninja Gaiden (even the mediocre titles) -- I am a huge fan of action games. Whether shooting or melee combat is involved, I like games that feel really responsive with my inputs, and give me a lot of freedom in terms of combat. Even if the game wants me to play a specific way, that's fine -- as long as it's fun and intuitive to the game's design. Just want the game to be fun, and I'll be able to ignore a lot of any game's shortcomings.

 

Thank you for reading! This checklist will be updated regularly and properly maintained, unlike my defunct one.

Sounds like you work in software development if you feel that way, lol. It's true -- at least anecdotally speaking if a project manager only concerns themself with the project lifecycle and doesn't understand anything about programming, they can be pushy. But software development has so many variables that can delay tasks, so I understand your frustration. 

 

Thanks, dude! I can't wait to get back into those. I adore Ninja Gaiden.

[Yuber6969]

Glad to see you're doing a checklist! It was cool to read about how your parents got you into gaming. I'll be following this.

[CelestialRequiem]

 

Project Title:	s #1/#13/#15/#17 - Bayonetta
Initial Start Date:	03/23/2019
Project Closure:	07/11/2021
Platform:	PS3 (x1), PS4 (x3)
Personal Difficulty:	★★★✩✩
Enjoyment:	★★★★✩
Project Conclusion:	Recommended

 

When I had originally made this account, I thought maybe I would have left general trophy hunting behind. I was loving my Switch and had only initially intended on platinuming titles by PlatinumGames. I was going in chronological order of release, so this was the first stop, as it’s the first game by PG that could be played on PlayStation.

 

…However, the PS3 version of this game is one I seriously recommend that everyone avoids. The game’s FPS is halved, complete with random stuttering and screen-tearing. A patch was distributed to offer an optional install command to install the game to your PS3’s HDD, however, it does little to remedy these issues. That’s all of the bad out of the way – let’s get to the good stuff. Speaking strictly in terms of gameplay combat, it would be very difficult to surmount Bayo’s excellent combat systems. This game invented the “Dodge Offset” mechanic, something that became more commonplace in PG’s later titles:

 

 

 

 

While diversifying your output with combos is critical to your score – this mechanic makes it very useful to also be efficacious with your attacks. Additionally, this game has the perfect approach to handling character progression. As opposed to a lot of contemporary action games, where character progression is based on stats comparable to an RPG – Bayonetta instead allows for diversification of moves and attacks to keep the combat fresh. This is the superior way to handle game design, as you’re encouraging optimization through familiarity, and not enforcing passive statistics to give the illusion of increased proficiency.

 

All of this ties into something that’s arguably more important than dial-combos: Enemy design. Unlike in Devil May Cry post the original, which are essentially just surrogates for the player to try and perform combos they’ve memorized; Bayonetta’s enemies are incredibly aggressive. Dodging and using Witch Time to get your attacks in whilst the enemies are in a stasis helps the player understand when to time a dodge as well as know what moves are especially effective against what enemies.

 

These systems play  into each other at the gameplay level and make it an incredibly fun experience. In particular, this is one of the few action games out there where boss fights are not an immediate standout for me in terms of memorable moments. It’s all of the normal fights and the strong enemy diversity that keeps the game incredibly engaging throughout its difficulty levels.

 

Alfheim Portals are basically challenge rooms that add more replayability, and a test to how acclimated you are to Bayonetta’s combat system. Usually, you need to take fewer than five hits to win, as well as meet specific requirements – such as defeating enemies within a certain amount of time, or using attacks such as Wicked Weaves to inflict damage.

 

For the best experience with Bayonetta, play the PS4 version. Everything that was mentioned in what makes the game excellent isn’t sodomized through shit performance from SEGA’s godforsaken porting abilities. With the music and style of the game no doubt enhance the experience, the game truly shines on ∞ Climax – the highest difficulty in the game. The training wheels are off, and Witch Time is permanently disabled. This is where the game really tests your understanding of Bayonetta, and not getting a Stone ranking for every mission is going to take serious dedication. Luckily, you only need to clear the game in order to get the platinum trophy.

 

With all of the literal information out of the way, to speak about the game more emotionally -- there aren't many action games as good as Bayonetta. Even its sequels leave a lot to be desired compared to the original. If you've breached the action genre before with lighters titles like God of War, I implore anyone to try Bayonetta. Even though it's PlatinumGames's second title, it still remains as one of the best.

 

Regarding the platinum, it’s nothing too difficult. You need to clear the game on the three highest difficulties and earn some Platinum ranks for a few fights; but the trophy list is lenient in terms of player expectations. You can even make it easier on yourself if you wanted to grind out halos to get items behind cheat codes. Personally, I think it’s largely a waste of time, and ignores the design of the game – but it is there for anyone who is really struggling with the game.

 

As for what the story is about, no clue. You punch God or something.

Hey, thank you, dude! I'm really happy that you're here.

 

Yeah, I got very lucky, I think. My folks having some interest in games definitely influenced me as a kid. I'm the only male child, and even my two sisters liked gaming. My older sister doesn't engage anymore after I kept on pissing her off in Tony Hawk Pro Skater on the PS1, but my little sister played a lot of Nintendo games early on and then lost her way. When she got the Switch due to the pandemic, she got REALLY into gaming. Even has played stuff like Dark Souls.

THIS. If by any chance anyone got the PS3 version....just hide the game, throw the disc away. I played the PS3 version and I will be honest I was NOT impressed with the game.

I will have to fire up the PS4 version just so I can play the proper version, because this game has quite some fun mechanics but I felt like I have been missing out  

 

Very good writeup! A funny thing, although Bayonetta is focusing on Witch Time (which is disabled in Infinite Climax Mode), it has one specific item that I particularly enjoyed more: Royal GuardMoon of Mahaa-Kala. That THONK sound was so fun, you can parry almost any attack and best of all - it helped me immensely when tackling another title named Metal Gear Rising. 

Gotta give it to the devs, they sure knew how to implement fun mechanics. It took some while to get adjusted to the directional parry but once I learned how to do so, the only challenge remaining was the camera.

 

There's one thing the PS4 won't be able to fix though...

This is an interesting thread. I never thought to utilize business practices when playing video games. Also, I can't believe your dad stole a Playstation 1, I can't believe he was never caught shoplifting.

Absolutely. Even if it's got a rarer plat, don't bother. The game was not meant to be played in that form. SEGA did a horrible job with the PS3 port, and I still can't believe that it's real to this day. That's all right, though -- SEGA made nice with me with the PS4 version.

Yes, that is one of the best accessories for certain. I agree that it serves well as a surrogate to MGR -- and that game definitely makes that its core mechanic when it comes to putting your defensive position into an offensive one. It's also present in Transformers: Devastation. You can damn near parry anything in that game with that move, lol.

At the very least, you can auto-skip cut scenes with Select + R2, or whatever the PS4 equivalent of that looks like. That may have been my most used input in the game, come to think of it... 👺

My progenitors were degenerates, to put it lightly. Certainly wasn't the last big-ticket item he stole. I vaguely recall him stealing some Apple product in the early 2000s. Anyway, yeah, he was able to dodge culpability for theft, somehow.

Awesome. Solid write-up on Bayonetta here!

 

I remember that one being a game I really wanted to get into but never quite could for whatever reason. I absolutely loved Vanquish and Madworld at the time, so picking Bayonetta was a no-brainer for me. Unfortunately, I tried it a couple of times, and be it for its visual design, characters, gameplay, or whatever, I ended up dropping it every time I started it. Truth be told, I never got too far into the game. Maybe it was due to the PS3 being a shitty port in general? It's been years since I played it!

 

It has all the elements I fancy in an action game, so why this title never sunk into me at the time was always a mystery. Considering all the positive impressions I read online, maybe I should give the PS4 version a go one day.

[YaManSmevz]

Mah man!

It's likely because of the absolute shite PS3 port, yeah -- but I also don't find the game to be that fun when you start off anyway. Once you unlock more moves and get deeper into its combat, then it starts to be way more engaging. I say forgo the PS3 version, and pick up the PS4 version for cheap (I think it and Vanquish are like $10 USD on the current sale? You might be able to get Bayo for even cheaper than that) if you want to give it another shot. There's a lot to love about it, but it definitely opens up more when you commit to it.

 

Anyway, between Bayo and Vanquish, I prefer the latter immensely. But Bayonetta is still great.

I appreciate you thinking so, dude! Still sort of tweaking the images and formatting, so it's technically still a work in progress in that regard, I suppose. But if I didn't post it, I was never going to -- so I just accepted that it'd be imperfect at the start and I can change it as I have time. I also am trying to force myself to write more often, so hopefully this checklist helps.

 

Really grateful that you're here -- hope you've been well, man.

Great write-up on Bayonetta. I actually was interested in that game way before my current but limited experience with PG's games.

 

A lot of my friends said bad things about it, so I never got around to playing it. However, I never asked what was bad about it, so I'm wondering if it was just the issues you described with the PS3 version. From your write-up, it sounds like a less difficult MGR, so I'm sold. Already bought it for less than $10 ages ago.

^Now I see why you and Copanele are friends. XD

Awesome write up on Bayonetta. I remember buying it on the Xbox 360 back in the day just because Bayonetta was hot af. Turns out it was a fun game too 😂

Thanks a lot.

 

Yeah, it's very possible that they were referring to its performance. And it is impossible to ignore -- as it intercepts your gameplay experience. It's definitely not as challenging as MGR, and has a lot of options available to you if you're really struggling.

 

Plus, might be a good surrogate to get the style of Transformers: Devastation, as they have a lot of similarities.

 

And yes, Copanele is a great dude!

Yeah, beyond Bayonetta's sex appeal and excellent outfits, there lies a really complex combat system that no doubt raised the bar when it came to action games. I see you did the PS4 version as well; and I'm glad that moving forward, we have a great version of the game that's much more accessible.

 

A bit of a controversial take with the game but not totally uncommon, the original is the best title. I know PlayStation Bayonetta fans would love to have Bayo 2 and 3, but it peaked here; so it doesn't feel like a real loss to me. The other games are fun, too -- this one is just immaculate in its series.
