What can I say, I am a sucker for TT games. I enjoyed this one just like the first season. This one really picked up in the last 2 episodes and really liked it. I have liked every tt game except for Game of Thrones. That may be only because I am not really familiar with the GOT world.

 

So that is plat number 1 of the year on January 1.

Ben 10

 

Hero Time

Earn every trophy in the game

 

Even my kids hate you, Ben. There, I said it.

 

Ben f**king 10. The worst game I've played this year so far 

A game that's lame (hey, it rhymes!) in every aspect, but made worse by numerous head aching glitches.

Ben 10 is a 3D~ish action platformer, where you can choose between 10 (yes Ben, 10) aliens to beat up enemies and advance.

It's somehow similar (but not really, it's just me) to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game on NES. That was 1989...and better 

With only six levels to suffer, this should be a short breeze towards Platinum, right? Well, yes if all stars align correctly. They did not for me...

This is where those "technical issues" come and play dirty. First of, I had to start over three separate levels because of level floor disappearing!

Yup, a whole section of the level floor just turned to air and my alien fell through it. Multiple times. Serves him right, though. Die, asshole.

Second, and way more vein popping inducing one, was how some trophies were given. Or more accurately, were NOT given.

See, there's a trophy for beating each level in under 15 minutes. Six levels, six trophies. Not hard at all, and that's fine by itself.

Then there's also three trophies for beating the three bosses without taking any damage. First one's easy, two are a bit more annoying.

What I did was beat level 4 under 15 minutes AND beat the Bee boss without taking damage. Quess what? No trophies popped at all 

Somehow this f**king game can't handle it when meeting two trophy quotas at the same time, and decides to just give you the finger.

So, overall I had to finish level 4 once normally ("for fun"), then under 15 min, and third time for the boss trophy.

Of course I couldn't pull it off anymore, not taking damage, so I had to replay the level each time damage was taken. Many, many times...

And naturally the same shit happened to me at the final level. So many "obligatory over 15 minute" runs on that one too. F*********ck.

My first Platinum of 2019, and it sucks monkey ass and balls. Like, a bag of them.

Next up is a milestone, and that's reserved for the final localized Tales of...game I still don't have: Berseria

Platinum #42

Reverie

 Tai of New Zealand

Current rarity: 69.52%

Personal Difficulty: 4/10

Enjoyment: 7/10

 

Reverie is a blend of Earthbound and NES Zelda, albeit more simplistic, and it works pretty well.  Walk around a map, get items to help you along the way, fight monsters.  You know the drill.  I would have rated it one digit higher for enjoyment and one digit lower for difficulty were it not for the two mini games (each with a trophy), and a glitch or two that had me stuck in dungeon doorways, and had me repeatedly restarting an air hockey match against a microwave oven because the stupid puck kept getting stuck behind him (her? it? I don't know).  I did enjoy it enough to play it again some day, however, since it was purchased as a cross buy, and it's a quick game to finish.

SNIPER: GHOST WARRIOR

 

 

Collector 
Collect all other trophies.

 

First plat of 2019. Was trying to finish it last night, but kept getting spotted on my way to the Manor for Unnoticed trophy.

 

Decent game, preferred Ghost Warrior 2, but for an 8 year old game, solid campaign. Played on Hard 1st run, no real struggle, some annoying parts as usual, but nothing taxing.  Only No Alarm glitched on me, got it 2nd time around after deleting game save.

 #21 - Platinum Trophy

Collect all other trophies to unlock.

 

First platinum of 2019 and first PS3 platinum (only managed to get hold of a PS3 last week).Great game, I've been wanting to play it for a long time and finally, it's done. Also went for the 100% by getting all the trophies in the DLC cases, because this game deserves it. Fun fact: it also won the "fastest platinum" title in my profile, beating InFamous Second Son by one day. The difference: this was achieved during Christmas holiday (which means intense game time  ), while InFamous was done in regular working period (which means 2-3 hours every evening at best).

Dark Cloud

Been in my backlog for 3 years. 25 hours gametime on plat. Really enjoyable action rpg, missing some modern quality of life features but the charm of the game more than made up for it.

Difficulty 3/10

Fun 7/10.

#295 - Strange Brigade

 

Happy new year to all of you. First plat of the year, a kinda cool coop shooter, with a very cool narrative style. So if you‘re looking for something like that, I can recommend this one.

Platinum #2 Persona 5: Dancing In Starlight 

Spoiler

Overall enjoyable experience just wish the game had more to do, and also wish the social links events were structured a bit better (like I got the credits before I did all of them).  But this is really an easy platinum and had some awesome remixes too.  

 

[B1rvine]

 

Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate

The Dark Knight

 

Well, here's my first platinum of 2019.

 

This game gets a lot of hate. I thought it was at least above average, but different -- like a Metroidvania game. There's a maze of rooms, upgrades, hidden areas, etc. Trophy-wise, the only undesirable part was having to play the game three times. Next, I'll be playing Arkham Knight.

 

Difficulty    : 4 / 10

Enjoyment : 7.5 / 10

 #17- KINGDOM HEARTS II FINAL MIX (PS4)

 Kingdom Hearts II Master  

 

Enjoyment: 9/10

Difficulty: 5/10

Time Taken: 2 Weeks, 2 Days, 23 Hours (65 hours in-game time)

Rarity: 2.7% Ultra Rare (PSN) / 12.70% Rare (PSNProfiles)

Hardest Trophy: Critical Competitor (Gold)- Clear game on Critical

 

Double dip of darkness...

 

First platinum of 2019 and a good one at that. I am just two platinums away from achieving my goal of getting every platinum in the Kingdom Hearts series before Kingdom Hearts III drops on January 29th... meaning I have a little less than four weeks. Unfortunately due to illness and commitments I didn't get nearly as much done as I had hoped to over the Christmas break so this puts me under a bit of pressure to get those last two platinums but hopefully I can do it!

 

With regards to this game in particular, I have very little to say other than it is an excellent title that I highly recommend to everyone. I have loved it since it first released and can honestly put it down as one of my favourite games of all time, considering I enjoyed getting the platinum for it twice, more than I can say for the other games. It's still fairly challenging and grindy with the synthesis materials but I gathered them steadily enough. The Data XIII battles are the game's toughest bosses but there are good strategies available for them. The Critical playthrough was a little bit of a slog but a worthy challenge as well. Perhaps some day I will go for a Level 1 Critical playthrough, but that will have to wait a while. Onward to Birth By Sleep...

#191: Big Adventurer

 

My first plat of 2019, and.... well.......

 

 

Like, this was definitely done as a gag, right? A multi-layered gag, perhaps?

 

Like, you look at the screenshots and expect a simple anime-esque indie platformer, then realize it's a bottom-of-the-barrel budget game? But then you get through the first level and it's simply crappy game-play and think "Well hey, at least it will be an easy play-through" but then get to the 2nd stage and suddenly the enemies are kicking your ass thanks to said crappy game-play? But you power through, then start getting slaughtered more and more, until you reach the point you wanna give up? But then you realize you cheese the game out with jump attacks and before you know it, the plat is yours?

 

I.... I just.... i don't know what to say about this one.

 

Well, maybe it would be kinda funny if someone pulled a Sha-fu on this one and tried to make it better as well?

 #103 - Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!

 

"Ripto's Remorse"

Collect all trophies in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage

 

The 2nd game in the Remastered trilogy was better than the 1st in many ways, but also still just a 'good' game. There are many improvements - more variety in levels, more moves, much better hub worlds, more interesting characters - but many of the levels were still just decent. Not saying that it was bad by any means; I loved playing this game, and all the changes from the 1st. However, the frustrating mini-games and overall very similar structure keep it from greatness in modern terms imo. Also there was a crap-ton of swimming, and while serviceable, I found it frustrating quite quickly.

 

Spyro 2 is probably a bit harder than Spyro 1 too; some mid-game areas and challenges in particular. That's not saying much though.... especially once you get the super-flame power for getting all the main collectibles, everything else you haven't yet completed to that point is a breeze to finish up. Overall, another good game in a good series, with some obvious improvements.

 

Game rating: 7.5/10

Plat difficulty: 2.5/10

 #99: Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!

Really enjoying my time with this trilogy so far. The soundtrack in this game was really nice and the worlds were packed with content. The addition of the orb challenges added much needed variety to the game play and some of them were actually pretty challenging. The Guide Book made back tracking a breeze with the ability to fast travel between worlds. I also appreciated the extra effort at a story line as well as the introductory/closing scenes accompanying each new world. Another really straightforward trophy list that caused little issues. Some of the trophies were a little temperamental in unlocking but nothing was too difficult to overcome. Can't wait to dive into the 3rd entry and make it my 100th !

 #133 - Period Cube: ~Shackles of Amadeus~

 

 

 

Arcadia Master! 
Obtained all Trophies.

 

Enjoyment: 7/10

Difficulty: 1/10

 

Probably one of my favourite VN's I've played so far.

I really enjoy otome games, so this was right up my street. It reminded me of Code: Realize a lot.

I really enjoyed the story. The game didn't overwhelm with excessive reading, which I was thankful for...

I'm currently bogged down with the flu, so I needed something nice and relaxing to sit and read while I feel sorry for myself.

I highly recommend Period Cube and Code: Realize.

 

 

 #134 - Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds

 

 

 

Does This Mean I Can Go Outside Now...? 
Obtained all trophies.

 

Enjoyment: 6/10

Difficulty: 1/10

 

I played Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms in December and I really enjoyed it.

I had high expectations for this one and it really fell short.

I found the story to be less engaging than the previous instalment and I'm really gutted about it.

The trophy names for this one are just as funny, including gems such as: "New Town, Who Dis...?" and "You Can't Sit With Us!"
I LOVE A GOOD MEAN GIRLS REFERENCE

Anyway! I recommend these games if you like visual novels. I've played a lot worse (see below), so... yeah.

 

 

 #135 - Muv-Luv

 

 

 

Muv-Luv 
Acquire all trophies.

 

Enjoyment: 5/10

Difficulty: 1/10

 

As you can tell, I've been on a bit of a VN binge...

I bought Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative in the recent January sale and I'm honestly so glad I didn't pay full price.

These VN's have really childish-looking characters and, to be perfectly honest, it made me feel a little uncomfortable.

The fan service isn't too in your face, but it's there and it just felt a little... wrong. Maybe I'm a prude.

Compared to other VN's I've played, the story and dialogue choices weren't diverse enough to hold my attention.

These games aren't for me. I think I'll be sticking to more mature VN's from now on.

 

 

 #136 - Muv-Luv Alternative

 

Muv-Luv Alternative 
Acquire all trophies.

 

Enjoyment: 4/10

Difficulty: 1/10

 

There I was happily ranting about Muv-Luv and then this game comes along and smacks me in the face.

I hate to say it, but this VN is boring. Really boring.

To get the platinum, you have to go through the same conversation with every girl. The dialogue options don't change.

After you've selected five dialogue choices, you're then faced with walls of text that literally last an hour each (even when auto-skipping).

As I said above, these games are not for me. I'm glad to have played them and experienced them, but never again.

 

 

 #137 - Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk

 

 

 

Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk 
Obtained all trophies.

 

Enjoyment: 8/10

Difficulty: 1/10

 

Wow, okay. So, I have a confession to make.

I recently played Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly and I really didn't like it, which led me to believe I wouldn't like this one either.

In my review of PotBB, I even said: "I'll probably end up buying Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk if/when it goes on sale, as long as it's dirt cheap."

I'm SO glad I did end up buying it, because PotAH is SO MUCH BETTER than its predecessor.

I love that they removed the mini game and they changed the format of the game entirely.

You have to complete sections on a map in this one, choosing dialogue as you go and it's actually fun!

Highly recommend this game for any VN lovers.

 

 

ACHIEVEMENTS AND OTHER STUFF

 

Finally reached level 30 for my trophies, which I'm extremely proud of!

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Enjoyment: 10/10

Difficulty 3.5

 

I never thought that i'd find a game now-a-days that is a beautiful homage in every single way to the traditional RPG's that so many of us grew up playing. It is also rare to find a game where you go in without knowing what to expect and for it to end up being one of your favorite games of all time. Both of these things happened in the time that I spent playing Dragon Quest XI. This game is an absolute masterpiece, i just could not put the controller down. This games had its hooks in me so deep that I got a 90 hour platinum trophy in a little bit over 2 weeks, so basically i spent more time playing it than i did at my job. If you like traditional RPGs at all like Persona, the older final fantasies, Chrono Trigger and the like, you owe it to yourself to pick up this game. The writing was just so beautiful, best localization i have ever seen in a video game (The Haikyus, the rhyming, the other languages, etc.), Even the music (which a lot of people had trouble with) was very well written from a composer standpoint, trust me i majored in music as well as business. I feel like the fact that it's MIDI instead of orchestrated could have worked against it but it just gives me that 64 bit era nostalgia taken to the max, it's a soundtrack straight out of Ocarina, FF7&FF9 and the likes, so i didn't mind at all. And the story was also a blast, every single segment had its moment to shine,  including characters and locations (both of the times you went through them, as the game gives you more stories again post game). All in all i had a blast and I won't be forgetting this game any time soon. It jumped right up there on my Favorite game list of this generation, probably top 4 next to God of War, Uncharted 4 and Persona 5. I am deeply in love with this game, it just oozes so much charm. I'm actually a bit sad now that it's over, and after spending almost 100 hours with it, i can think of no better praise for it than that.
