Plat #147: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm

[GraniteSnake]

 #129: Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers

First time posting here in a while.. this will probably be the last flight simulator I'll play. I find these games to be pretty boring and the stories portrayed not at all interesting. Graphically this game looks a lot nicer than Vietnam. The game featured a few additional side missions to break up the main campaign, ranging from being a lookout to trying to find an enemy convoy in a limited amount of time. These side missions were almost entirely optional, so they didn't prolong the campaign too much. A game I wouldn't recommend playing, especially since it has a few awkward multiplayer trophies.

Platinum #4

Resident Evil 0

 

Difficulty 6/10

Enjoyment 5/10

 

A very delayed update as I earned this almost a month ago, but life gets in the way sometimes. This is the second RE game I've played the most I'd say, first being RE5. That being said, I really enjoyed going back though this game and relearning things while memory kicked in for some others. A nice little entry into the series I'd say, a lot of people overlook it sadly and just class it as a spin off. Give it a go, you might be surprised on how much it give you that classic RE feeling some of you need.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse

 Platinum

Awarded when all other trophies have been unlocked.

 

Something I had on my PlayStation Store wishlist for a while and when I did an often check up on it I saw it was on sale and immediately bought it with whatever I had remaining. I'd usually be aware or take a quick glance at games I never played nor heard of, but in this case I didn't, and I slightly regret it. 

 

So I imagined it being a third person, free running type of game, but gosh oh gosh was I wrong. Not that I'm good at speed running games or anything like that, but I just had glimpse of it that way, y'know. It turned out to be some puzzle, portal-ish game with similar mechanics from Teslagrad (you know, the magnetic colors that attract and repel each other) and some Cubix game I played that came out with a NAG magazine (I think some of you know them) that I used to buy. 

 

I immediately wanted to finish this and move and I finally did. Just two days ago I was robbed a trophy that I clearly should've earned (including this very platinum as well). It required me to finish Act III without dying and I could I was sure more than ever that I didn't die. Maybe I did, but my intuition says otherwise. I had to use a USB to backup my saves after every level to avoid doing the whole thing again. Some levels were also annoying and had to look at Pen15Gaming on YouTube (props to that guy ?). 

 

At least it has a nice platinum icon and got me some extra gold trophies too (I can say I've earned more so far than compared to the previous years). I'm on the road to the elite 1,337th trophy milestone.

Goosebumps: The Game

After doing a non-daily check up on my PS Store wishlist, I saw this on sale two days ago and quickly grabbed it. Looking forward to play it and most likely make it my new fastest platinum.

 268 - Grip

 

Difficulty 8/10 

Time: 40 hours 

Score: 6/10 

 

A potentially very good arcade racer that’s held back by several bad design decisions and flaws. Despite the multiple issues, the game is still fun to play and I had a good time whenever the cheating ass ai wasn’t destroying me or I lost a race because a little bump sent me flying across the map.

 

Difficulty wise this game is pretty challenging once you reach halfway through the campaign and that’s because their way of ramping up the difficulty is by doing an absurd amount of rubber-banding. No matter how fast you’re driving or how far ahead you are, mess up for one second and you’ll be last place. It’s common in racing games but trust me this is easily the worst there is. There’s also the carkour courses which is essentially a challenge mode with twenty maps created by the devs. Most of them can be done pretty easily but the two nightmare ones are a pain in the ass. Highly skill dependent but also a bit of luck as most of the time your car will do random shit which will result in you failing over and over again. Each nightmare map took me a little over 4 hours to complete.

 

Pros: Hectic gameplay, Competent ai, Fun to play. 

 

Cons: Absurd rubber-banding halfway through the campaign, Bad physics, Poor vehicle collision, Limited vehicle customization, Some uninspired track design.

Just another day at the office

 

 

 

 "Earn all available trophies for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® Remastered.

 

 

 

Enjoyment: 7/10

Difficulty: 7/10

Most Difficult: Mile High Club

 

 

 

My first time playing and completing Call of Duty Modern Warfare's campaign mode. Completing the game on Veteran mode wasn't too hard for the most part, except the sections that have infinite enemy spawns or time limits; most notably the epilogue mission. It took me about 2 hours to complete the epilogue mission on Veteran and I tell you this; I haven't raged at video games for long time and that particular mission made rage like Kratos ??? But in the end I managed to do it and it felt so satisfying when the trophy popped up. For me that trophy was much harder than "Best of the Best" trophy.

Overall it was an ok experience. I've always liked CoD campaign modes compared to other FPS games.

Thanks you PS Plus for this gem!

 

 

This is how I felt during my Veteran run on the Epilogue mission;

 #152 Devious Dungeon (PS4)

 

 

Platinum Hero

Get all trophies

 

I played this game, for the first time, on my Vita, almost a year ago and now I finally did the PS4 version too. Like most games from Ratalaika, Devious Dungeon is a fun, relaxing and friendly game. The platinum is easy, but, at least, you have to complete the game to earn it. You also have to carefully advance through the dungeons, because the enemies can take you a lot of health if you rush too much. The game saves every three levels you complete, though, and you also keep the money that you earned if you die, which is useful to buy better weapons and armor.

Like I said, I like @RatalaikaGames, although recently I have been disappointed by the fact that their recent trophy lists are made to basically give you a 15-30 minutes platinum. This is the reason why I haven't bought any of their recent games. Although they seem fun, I'm not interested in a game that I will only play for 15-30 minutes. We all know that the motivation isn't the same, when there are no more trophies to win. They say that because the game is cheap, the platinum has to be easy, but I don't understand the reasoning behind this. I love trophies, but my love for games comes first. So, I ask Ratalaika, can you add a little more effort to your trophy lists and instead of stupidly easy gold trophies, can you add at least a trophy for completing the game?! Your games are fun, so stop doing trophy lists for trophy whores!

 

 

 #153 Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas (Vita)

 

 

Platinum

Get all other Trophies

 

This game seemed very fun and, since it has a Vita version, it was a must-play. I started it on my Vita months ago and now I finally obtained the platinum. It's definitely worth playing if you have a Vita. It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it. The initial part was a bit bland, but the puzzles got more dynamic towards the end, so I enjoyed more the final part of the game. The platinum is easy, although you probably will need some help for some of the puzzles. If you are interested in a game that allows you to travel to several islands, complete dungeons and solve puzzles, Oceanhorn may be what you are looking for. Although it's not a great game, it's definitely enjoyable.

God of War: Ascension - PS3 (#188)

"Champion of the Gods"

 

Having played the three numbered entries in the series immediately beforehand, this game feels very much "less than."  The story is only what appears to be a side quest sandwiched within the original timeline, with no actual consequence (let's be real, none of the games seem to have any actual consequence outside of perhaps the first one).  The set-pieces are impressive with the Titan Hecatonchires opening up the game very well and the end game QTE fest being very well directed.  The climb up the Statue of Apollo was also much more significant and impressive than prior games, allowing for some great cinematic moments.

 

Where this game just completely messed things up, was in the combat. It is painfully apparent, the combat system was altered to allow for an ill-fated and unnecessary multiplayer component. Knowing this was the last entry to the series before the recent reboot, it is obvious the developers and, hopefully, Sony learned their lesson. The combat is not fluid with certain actions taken away from you during certain fights, such as magic being completely subjugated by world weapons, inexplicably. The fairly decent block and parry were given a delay factor, leaving you open to attack. As a result, all I found myself doing was jumping and dodging like a madman during the more testing battles.

 

The game forced all fights as epic arena style scenes, which grew tiresome rather quickly. The challenge the "new" combat system provided truly only manifested itself into sheer frustration at the occasionally defeatist odds the game stacked against you. The battle before the slide and the Gauntlet were both points of nearly quitting the game due to the arbitrary feeling combat results. Ultimately though, there is a manner in which to master the combat, which was much less satisfying than the prior games.  The only real positive I took away was the 4 different "magic" power ups for your blades. It was rather satisfying to fry baddies with an overwhelming amount of electricity. 

 

Hopefully, this is the low point of the series, as I did very much enjoy all three numbered entries and will move forward with Chains of Olympus and the Ghost of Sparta.

 #248 - Gran Turismo 6

Gran Turismo Platinum Trophy

Earn all trophies in Gran Turismo 6.

 

This isn't a genre I typically play, but GT6 was one of the games that came with my PS3 when I bought it at the end of 2013 (the other game being The Last of Us), and it has been left at a low completion all this entire time. What this inevitably means is I had to download and install all of the updates since then which was a huuuuge pain as anybody who's aware of this issue can tell you. It took forever. Other than that, I did have a decent time revisiting the game though.

 

Even as someone who has next to no experience with the genre, I didn't find the platinum to be very difficult for the most part. There were a couple of gold ranks that gave me some trouble, but nothing too crazy. By far the most obnoxious trophy was 'Autobarmy', requiring you to drive 7,903 miles. By the time I was done with all of the other trophies in the base game, I was probably around 2,000. At least there was a method you could using involving elastic bands on the controller to rack up the miles for you, but it still took 30 HOURS of non-stop driving. Admittedly, I could have been more efficient, but it's still a ridiculous trophy.

 

Unfortunately, this game added DLC trophies, and I found one of them to be quite a bit harder than anything in the base game. I'm sure I could get it if I spent tens of more hours with the game, but honestly, after that 'Autobarmy' nonsense, I'm burned out. I think I'll just leave the game at 97% completion for a while, maybe forever. At least I got the plat.

Platinum #33 - Castlevania Requiem 

Difficulty Rating 4/10

Enjoyment Rating 9/10

Uncommon - 22.24%

This flawed yet convenient collection contains Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. As a big lover of the Castlevania Dracula X sub-series, do I recommend Requiem to anyone? That depends. You're going to get three great things out of this package. Price, convenience and trophies. But I'm afraid it's kind of downhill from there. From what I am able to tell, these games are not the PC Engine and PS1 originals. I believe they are heavily upscaled from their PSP counterparts within The Dracula X Chronicles. Is that good? Not if you're a purist for these two games like myself. I'm going to say that Rondo of Blood got the better treatment out of the two. It had me pretty well fooled for a while thinking it was the PC Engine original, it's about as close at it gets without having to pay a billion dollars for a decent PC Engine set up with the needed CD attachment and the game itself. If it were up to me, I would say go download it from the Wii Shop Channel, but that's no longer feasible ;-; So if you're going to play Rondo of Blood in a faithful way without breaking the bank, I do recommend Requiem in that regard. Plus, it contains an English dub for the first time, making this version unique in it's own right. But what about Symphony of the Night you ask? That's on a completely different spectrum. I know for a fact that this particular version comes from the PSP. If you like to wear headphones while playing games and want to crank up that soundtrack, you're gonna have a bad time. Not because the music quality is bad, in fact it sounds pretty good and I couldn't find any abnormalities involving it. The dreadfulness comes from the altered sound effects. They are loud, high pitched and will make your ear drums bleed. There is no volume slider in the options so it's not as if you can turn them down, especially when you want to enjoy the awesome music. There is also the re-dubbed dialogue to take into consideration, no more "what is a man" instead we get a completely new English dub that doesn't sit well with the fans and makes Alucard sound like a total wuss. You cannot select the old dub, but you can switch it to Japanese. That's what I ended up doing because the new dub will never do it for me. The new voices for Richter and Dracula are pretty good, but Alucard's new voice completely kills it for me. The reason why I'm so forgiving towards Rondo of Blood's dub is because it wasn't dubbed in 1993 and there was nothing to re-dub in the first place. I get why Symphony of the Night was re-dubbed though. It was to stay consistent with Richter's voice as well as Dracula's from Rondo of Blood. Still... in Symphony of the Night's case, it takes away part of the original charm and cheesy good fun. Imagine re-dubbing over the original Resident Evil 1, anything new would be better, yes, but it would still be criminal to change it anyway. Transforming into mist is mapped to pressing two buttons instead of one now. Once in a while, walking in a certain part of the map won't fill in that percentage, you might need to walk back into the room five times just to get it to register that one square. Utterly annoying to say the least and not something I recall happening from the PS1 original. I should also bring up the scanline filter, it's fake. Because I noticed the scanlines go through the pixels, not in between them. Now, do all these setbacks break the immersion from Requiem as a whole? Not necessarily, but it does give off a rather artificial feeling compared to the original games. That said, I didn't give Konami the money for this lazy attempt of a remaster. Instead, I mooched off a local friend's account and played it that way. It's the principal that matters, had these been absolutely perfect, you bet I'd throw my money at Konami. But I did enjoy doing the trophy run, which scored me a shiny platinum for two of my most favorite games ever ^^ I'm not saying avoid Requiem at all costs, but you should experience the PS1 original of Symphony of the Night in it's entirety first. You can download it off the PS Store and play it on your PS3 or Vita. Once you have done that, then you will have earned your right to play Requiem  Yes, this collection contains two great games but they come with a rather questionable porting job, that's the lesson here. I shall leave this video here that explains in great detail all the version differences of these two amazing games. But enough talk, have at you!

Collect all the Crash Bandicoot: Warped trophies.

 

Difficulty 5/10

Enjoyment 9/10

 

Final game of the trilogy and now all 3 games are at 100%. I've previously completed Stormy Ascent and then Future Tense after getting this platinum, both of which are tough levels but are more than manageable if you can get the platinum trophy for their respective games.

 

This was my favorite game of the trilogy with lots of upgrades and different gameplay that offered some relieve from pure platforming. Getting the gold relics were the easiest in this level with so many more upgrades and more lenient relic times, but some sections were still quite tough.

 

This is a solid remaster that kept me entertained while evoking nostalgia. As for myself, I will be going for the Bioshock collection trilogy now.

Proof of a perfect completion of Tales of Hearts R. Thanks for playing! Your love and dedication are hugely appreciated!

Plat #326 - Criminal Girls 2

 

 

Reformed

You've achieved all of the trophies!

 

Did you like Criminal Girls? Do you want to play the exact same game again? Then this title is for you! Pretty good, though the additions to battle didn't really help. Sexy time poses were much funnier this time around. The plat isn't so missable, either. But beating final bosses for a total of 16(!) times is pretty damn dry.

 

Plat #327: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

 

 

Top of the Heap

You have mastered the game and collected all there is to collect!

 

Please stop bringing back these 3D platformers without first making significant improvements to camera and control. I never played this game on PS2, but it was a slog on PS4. 3D platformers kind of disappeared from existence for many years. There's a reason why, I think.

Platinum #126

 

Picked this up super cheap (less than £2!) for my Vita and I was pleasantly surprised! Nice little addictive puzzle game which takes aspects from the main Hitman games and translates them into neat little board games. Loved the visual style and the platinum didn't take that long at all. I was pretty much glued to my Vita as soon as I started it!

#97 - Orcs Must Die! Unchained

Master of Murder Sprinkles

 

I had been thinking about playing this game ever since I found out about it as it looked pretty awesome, but kept being put off by the grind to Plat it. Then, when server shutdown was announced, I figured it was basically now or never to go for it. At the time, I wasn't sure if I'd manage to get the Plat, but I figured if I went for it I'd either get it and have my new rarest plat, or I'd fail and forever be unable to maintain a 100% profile (which I'd have right now if Amnesia hadn't just released a DLC trophy that I need to play through that garbage again to get) and it might be healthy for me to not be so obsessed and therefore able to put games down when I hate them. Either way, I promised myself when I started trophy hunting that I would never let trophies put me off playing a game I wanted, so I went for it.

Turns out I managed, and I'm so happy I did. And even though I've basically played nothing else for the last two months, I have no regrets. It was a really great game, and my only regret is not starting it sooner so I could've enjoyed the experience instead of it becoming a daily chore to squeeze in as much of the grind as I could. There's a huge attention to detail in the maps that you don't notice as you play, but to keep the grind entertaining I went around all the maps looking at them and appreciating the detail. The characters and the humour were good too (although Dobbin's lines started to get old a short way into the grind, but at least they were short and not too annoying), and the game is generally great fun. Other than the grind I really enjoyed the game, especially the process of building tactics for trap placement in each map, and adjusting them to get to 5* on each map.

 

Anyway, I was just excited about managing it (with almost two weeks to spare) so wanted to post here. Now to go do Hard Mode on Amnesia to get 100% completion on my profile and not play any new games for a few days (and I'll also need do Episode Ardyn tomorrow, when FFXV's final DLC is released at last and I can remove that 90+GB game from my hard drive...).

#25: Just another day at the office.

 

There it was, my first Call Of Duty experience in almost 15 years. I avoided this series like the plague for several reasons, my passionate disgust for Activision and the atrocious multiplayer community being my strongest motivations. However, this game came for free so Activision would not see a dime, and all the trophies had to be done in singleplayer, so I gave it a go. Was it a good experience overall? No. Was it the worst? Not even close, but it surely was annoying and frustrating at times.

 

First to the games strong points. The story, while being bare bones and utterly basic, had its moments. The character of Captain Price was lazily reused from the very first Call Of Duty, I distinctly remember him dying back in the Tirpitz mission, WW2, that stuck with me long after for how difficult it could be. Decades later he still has not really aged but I was still glad to see him back. The were some memorable quotes, some funny dialogues and some pretty epic scenes. Sadly, that is where it ends.

 

So what was wrong with the game? Well first of all this was the one of the most poorly optimized games I have ever played. This game had the nerve to demand a fourth of my hard drive space, only to then run like utter shit. Not kidding, while I played the PS4 almost crawled to a halt whenever I wanted to do something other than playing the game, like checking which trophy I just earned or messaging someone, never had that happen to me with any other game so far. Speaking of trophies and performance, trophies often took between 20 and 40 seconds to pop after fulfilling the requirements, which was another first for me. This game also had several crashes with error messages, and in the first actual level was a funny bug that killed me like 6-7 times by just fading the screen to black telling me I "went the wrong way" during an escape section, even though I was following one of the other characters in a narrow path, which seems to be a known bug. Activision is the single most greedy company in the industry by a mile, they have the ressources to do better, but they clearly don't give a fuck.

 

Technical shit aside, what else pissed me off? The trophies, most annoyingly the Veteran difficulty trophies. This difficulty was cheap as all hell, making it a matter of luck to just run through sections and pray that no bullet hits you while you run, not to mention the absurd number of RPGs people casually carry around and point at you as if killing you solves all of their problems. With bullets going through the wall, cover was almost useless and even if you find a good and safe spot, enemies will spam grenades in that spot, sometimes 3-4 at a time. The whole ordeal was trial and error, as enemies you do not yet know are there will wait for you around a corner, then instakill you. Oh yeah, they also spawn endlessly until you run further into the game, so have fun dying over and over again. How were the missions designed? Badly, most of them anyway. Two great missions aside, most of them were shit, providing classics like escort missions, holdout sections and timed sections, often with crappy checkpoint placement. One mission was shoving all of these elements together into one big mess. If you do not get insta killed or stuck, sometimes missions end because your allies run straight into your line of fire, often leading to mission failure due to friendly fire, which is fun with some of the checkpoint placements. The trophy clean ups weren't too bad at least, but there were some stinkers as well. God damn you Best Of The Best trophy!

Also, screw most of these loading screen quotes, especially the shit marines sucking themselves off, that is not what you want to read after 20 deaths while your marine comrades are doing jack during your mission.

 

Could go into more detail about the missions, but this wall is already long enough as it is. Overall the game was a below average shooter for me that had the potential to be an average shooter, but thanks to the frustrating Veteran difficulty and crappy mission design it was quite underwhelming. Have to admit though, even with all its flaws it was somewhat nice to play a simple first person shooter again for the first time in years. I have no desire to play multiplayer so I am done with the game at this point, and I am not touching another one of these if I can help it. Up to a more enjoyable game, Tropico 5 is on the horizon, hope playing the dictator and sending the soldiers is more fun than being a soldier was.

 #360 - Dark Souls

 

 

 

The Dark Soul

All trophies obtained. Congratulations!

 

I love Souls game, but I always play them in coop, so it sucks that the "new" one (Sekiro) is just sp. Well, we played DS 2 first where you can fast travel anytime to any bonefire, so it was easier to go through areas together without worrying about dying going back to the last bonefire to help each other through, unlike on DS (which Im glad they changed that). On this one you cant fast travel to bonefires and when you can, you can just to specific ones, so some areas were weird and tough to go back for each other, or at least for me, I get more scared of dying so I die more and keep loosing humanities which I need for summoning and also health, (glad they changed that too lol), here you cant really heal when summoned, unless you have magic and you want to use your humanities. But beside those things and a lot of glitches, I still enjoyed it, fun hard game to play in coop with @HailHale81. ?
