Plus, got a chance to look stupid while casting spells

in front of the missus

Well, season 2 is apparently starting later this month so yay ^^

LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII

 

 

FF XIII: Awful story/storytelling/characters/character development, on-rails-RPG, fun but simplistic combat system.

FF XIII-2: Decent, but messy story with some interesting characters (yeah, not Serah), very good gameplay with less restrictions than XIII, but still too easy.

LR: FF XIII: Simple, yet competent story and storytelling that doesn't confuse the hell out of you and knows what it wants to say, few characters but portrayed in interesting ways (Lightning is still the flattest protagonist in a FF game ever), nonlinear story progression and freedom to go anywhere and do whatever the player wants, hands down the best and most fun combat system and character customization out of all the games, well balanced difficulty (offers quite a few challenges even on Normal), lots of replay value including NG+ and Hard mode with better drops, items and new gameplay features (equipment upgrades). Bottomline: The best out of all three games.

#58 WWE '13

Platinum
Obtain all other Trophies.

I hadn't played a wrestling game for years and got this purely for the Attitude Era stuff (which I had a lot of fun watching as a kid on T.V) For nostalgia reasons the game was quite fun, but I'm really surprised how far wrestling games have gone downhill since the great N64 titles. As for the trophies nothing difficult, however the online is a huge grind.

#30 - Kingdom hearts final mix

Such a great game. That plat is relatively easy with the only grind being that you have to finish the game 3 times. That was a little annoying.

\(^o^)/ I'VE GOT MY LAPTOP BACK \(^o^)/

 

OK I have 1 month of platinums that I haven't put up here .

 

#109 Plants vs Zombies

 

The first time I played this game I didn't think much of it. Then PS+ had it on sale for Vita and I was heading to my sisters for a week so I thought "what the hell I will pick it up for the plane". I ended up really enjoying myself as the game went on and by the time I got home from my visit I was determined to platinum the game. There is a little bit of grinding involved (the stupid Zen garden) but it wasn't too bad and the game had enough difficulty (survivor mode) that it felt you earned the platinum when it was all said and done. So if you haven't tried it out yet and you want a fun game to play on the go pick this one up.

 

#110-Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures

 

Ok I picked this game up for 1 reason...I liked the platinum image . I know that is a stupid reason to rent a game, but come on that is an awesome image . In the end this ended up being a really fun 3d platformer that I have since recommended this game to several people. It is short so give it a rent, but if you have younger kids and you hate buying crappy movie tie-ins then this a great game to pick up for them.

 

Some small gripes of the game include the AWFUL voice acting (Pac-Man sounds like a 4 year old). The useless School. it wouldn't be so bad if you went to the school to get powerups or tutorials (you know like a school would do) but that stuff happens automatically. In the end it doesn't do anything other than house the arcade machines (which could have just been on the main menu). Finally the game defeats the purpose of Pac-Man, you can kill all the ghosts and you don't need to eat pellets. When I first played this game I was avoiding all the ghosts looking for a powerup (which made the game really hard) and I was eating all the pellets thinking that was how you beat levels (you know like Pac-Man) then I realized you can kill the ghosts and the game became too easy . They have a trophy for beating every level twice (to get all the arcade coins) but this seems stupid as they should have just added in a score attack or time attack to make you earn the coin (adding a challenge instead of just repeating the same thing twice).

 

Anyways those are small complaints as the actual game was a blast.

 

#111-Walking Dead Vita

 

Another game I picked up from PS+ for cheap. I didn't play this game right away because I wanted to platinum it on the 1 year anniversary of my PS3 platinum (lame I know). What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said. If you haven't played it yet and love a compelling story and great characters then pick this up and enjoy it.

 

#112-Just Cause 2

 

Well I have had this game in my backlog for awhile and after Pac-Man and Walking Dead I wanted a bit of a challenge. Well this game was just fun and felt like a 3rd person version of Far Cry 3 (which is high praise coming from me). Well it was fun until I beat the game and realized I was only at around 30% done the game . So after grinding for a day and a half I got up to 75% and I couldn't imagine going for 100% completion.

 

If you like sandbox games and having fun then pick up JC2...just be prepared for a grind for the

 

#113-Borderlands

 

If you like sandbox games and not having fun then pick this game up

 

I'm sorry this game was just not for me and I do not see what the hype is all about. It took me 3 tries to beat this game over 3 years because everytime I started it up I would play for a couple of hours and remember how much I hated it. Finally my buddy played with me and the two of us together made it sort of playable because we could bitch together about how much this game sucks.

 

It is huge open (empty worlds) where you kill the same 2 or 3 guys over and over. The map system and fast travel system sucks as you can only fast travel to a part of the map and then you still have to run across the huge world to get to the objective. Of course there is no mini-map so you have to keep opening up the menu and scrolling over to the map to see where you are going (because the radar works for shit). "Why don't you just drive to your destination?" you ask. Well after I finish slapping some sense into you I explain that the vehicles handle like ass and it is honestly easier to just run than try to navigate the worst driving controls in a AAA game I have ever used. Also it constantly asks you to get 5 of something but the objective only shows 1 on your map. So you run all the way over to it and then the other one is across the map. So you run over to it and the third one is around where the first one was...in a game that promotes multiplayer you would think would have multiple targets so you can all work together to get it done faster but no it makes more sense for the 4 of you to run across an empty world to pick up 1 radio.

 

The loot is a big selling feature of the game but honestly I never needed to switch out my loadout. I found a really good Fire SMG and some kind of alien pistol and I used those two weapons for the majority of the game. So picking  up guns was just a way of making money (which by the time my second playthrough started I had more over the max amount of money).

 

The missions were all pretty much the same "collect 5 of this" "kill 20 of this" "find random NPC" "kill boss" and then you had to do it all again for the second playthrough so you could level up enough to get all the trophies. Well you could always play the DLC...once again I had to take a moment to slap some sense into you. I have the GOTY so I got all the DLC for free but if I had to pay for Moxie's Underdome I think I would have murdered everyone at Gearbox and 2K. 100 WAVES OF BADGUYS THAT ARE ALL THE SAME LEVEL AS YOU....WHAT THE FUCK. Oh and if you die you need to start again...and you have to do that 6 times. I used the cheap trick of playing with a low level account but then it is just a different kind of grind. Now it is taking several hours per level and there is no challenge. So either you can play the toughest challenge ever and lose or waste several hours but win. Either way it boils down to a mess of a DLC and people should be fired for thinking they could charge for that. One final point on Moxie's Underdome, I thought hearing the same "da da duh da...da da duh da" music over and over again for 3 hours with her shouting the same couple of lines every couple of seconds was banned by the Geneva convention.

 

I actually really liked the Dr. Ned DLC as it was fast paced with lots of enemies, good atmosphere and fun bosses but the Clap Trap DLC can go fuck itself. The DLC was actually not that bad but the grinding trophies are what killed it. Having to collect 63 random drops with no in game tracking is just stupid. How hard would it have been to make a mission to collect 15 bobbleheads. Then the game would at least track how much you needed and after you got them all you would get EXP as well as a trophy. The game is based around missions so why would they include collecting trophies that have nothing to do with missions...oh and of course as I mentioned THEY ARE RANDOM DROPS.

 

Anyways the game bugged out on me playing the General Knoxx mission because I didn't know if you had two missions at the same time it glitches out the game. So I can't complete it unless I find someone else to piggyback onto. So fuck 100% on this game for now, I will get it eventually.

 

Well anyways that is my latest 5 platinums. I am working on Tales of Xillia now and am enjoying it quite a lot. I want to get 3 more plats before the end of the year because I found out that every year I have a number of plats divisable by 4 and I want to keep that pattern going (because it looks good in my checklist ).

Yeah it is kind of ironic that I helped you because your game glitched, only to have my game glitch me out .

[Dragon-Archon]

Yes, it is and it's sad  . That's the thing I don't understand, because it says on ps3t.org that joining someone who hasn't completed the mission will fix the glitch  . I hope it was a small consolation that you got a pearlescent shield.

Yup now my character is super badass . I am planning on running through on my first playthrough being very careful not to do anything that will glitch it out, hopefully that works.

#50 SoulCalibur 2

 

Released back in 2003 on PS2 it was a great fighting at the time & still is. Everything about the game is still here for the PS3 version just they added online & it's in HD. The online part of the game took some tries to get some matches going because of the servers for the game. Still worth getting even if you have played this on PS2.

Are you saying that the offline portion of the game its still there?....every place I've read about SC2 before release it was saying that it would be online only...then my excitement had gone from sky high to underground.

You can still play this game offline just like how it was on PS2 with no worries but if you do want to earn the platinum it does have online trophies.
