Plat #150 - Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

 

Fun JRPG that felt similar to its predecessor (though in my opinion not as good, but what sequel is now and days). I heard complaints about the skirmishes but I thought they were particularly easy once you get a good team together from your recruits and level them up. Definitely a recommend for JRPG fans and proud of it being my 150th platinum.

 #70 Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice: Done

This is a game I had been wanting to play for a long time. (Shh! Shh! Can she hear us?). Been waiting for it to go on sale. (RUN!) Was doing some random stuff at Best Buy and my GF saw it and was like "Have you played this game?" (Oh, what a clever girl!) I saw the game she was asking about and laughed, said no but I had really wanted to play it. (What is she doing?) It was on sale at Best Buy so we got it (Stupid girl) My GF was going to watch me play, but before the opening cinema was finished, she noped right out of there, saying it was too much for her. haha. (Oh no, the doors locked. What can she do? She can't do anything!) Man, this game was incredible. There is a warning that it was made with the help of people who experience psychosis and professionals who help those people. (*giggling*) I think that really helped get the mood correct for the game. (Hela. HelaHelaHela Heeeelllaaaaaaaaaa). The combat and puzzles are fairly simple. (She found the rune! She did it! Look!) The story was the real focus here with those other elements to just help move the story along. (There he is! Dillion! Get to him!!) If you like dark, gritty, horror games, you will probably like this.

The Hero of Heroes

Eh... I wasn't a big fan of this game even though I loved most of the other Ratchet & Clank games. Hopefully a new game gets announced soon!

Dragon Sinker

Descendants of Legend
Obtained all trophies.

 

 

After finishing Horizon Zero Dawn, I have been on slump(is it the correct term?) and I have started like 4 games but nothing is really make me hooked/excited playing them. Then I went to front page and notice a new Kemco game trophy list, then I noticed only that time yhat I could click on game company now(which I am pretty sure not a feature before, right?), I clicked on it and I stumbled on this game's trophy list. I wasn't even aware that this game exist. I am a sucker for games with job system, and recruiting lots of character is always an icing of the cake for me. I usually wait for Kemco games to be on sale before I buy them but I was really intrigued with the game so I bought it at full price.

 

Do I regret it? No. Loved the game. Sure it is a port of a freemium mobile game but I really didn't care. I had fun playing it from start to end. I also didn't mind the grind and RNG as well (thanks to Netflix I guess) and the optional boss is quite challenging(I ended up winning with Abram with 3 Villagers )

 

Would recommend, absolutely esp if you like me that loved FF5.

 

Also, no plat for a while I guess, cause Persona Q2 is finally here

 Two Thrones 
Obtain all other trophies

 

Difficulty: 5/10

Enjoyment: 7.5/10

Playtime: N/A (2 days, 16 hours, 35 minutes)

 

& that's the last of the PoP trilogy!  It really was a lazy "remaster" though, probably one of the worst I've seen in fact. ? Warrior Within has numerous glitches (including a couple game-breaking ones), & Two Thrones had quite a few graphical bugs as well, like Farah's ponytail showing through her chest most of the time... it looked like the damn Alien.  

 

There were also floating heads... (it even blinked).  

 

But at least it ended on a high note, Two Thrones was probably my favorite of the series... it was a bit harder than Warrior Within, but much more enjoyable.  The hardest parts in this were getting the Sand Snake trophy (glitched on my easy run), & defeating the two brothers boss fight on hard (took me around 5 tries to beat those cheap bastards).  But other than that, everything else is quite easy/fun.

 

This is also my 125th plat!  I forgot that's a milestone, I would've like to pick something a bit better for it, but I could've done worse too (at least the plat image is nice). This should also be my 10th plat for Sony rewards too (as long as they don't screw up the count... which is very possible), this game also gives a very nice amount of gold/silver trophies, so that's a nice bonus too.

This one was a doozy. Fighting games aren't exactly my forte but I still wanted to give one a go and found this one sitting in the depths of my backlog and found out it had platinum percentage of under 1%. Challenge accepted...and now that it's complete I might have to get checked if I have carpal tunnel. (not really but you get the point)

 

The 26 Challenges are bad enough but most are manageable if you are able to use cheese tactics. Combo trials, on the other hand, were a bitch to complete, requiring precise and timely input plus memorizing movesets for each character which resulted in several days of practice until I got this one. This will now dethrone OlliOlli2 to go down as the hardest platinum trophy I have acquired, unless I eventually manage to get the platinum for SMB. That said, if you play fighting games a lot, you might find this a tad bit easier.

 

That said, I find it absurd that one easy peasy Ratalaika platinum has as much value as this one. Fuck you Ratalaika Games for devaluing platinum trophies... am I doing this right?

 

If i may ask, whats the background of your trophy card? In case it changes in the meantime, im talking about this here:

#1 Final Fantasy VII

 

 The Never-Ending Path

Obtain all trophies.

 

Enjoyment: 6/10

Difficulty: 2/10

Time: 20h

 

Started off the platinum hunts with a nostalgia hit. Always loved FF7 and it's a joy that they've added trophy support. Gameplay still holds up today, though graphics

have aged worse than I remembered. For some reason I felt like the game runs a little slow normally, but that might be because I got way too used to 3x speed.

Not much to say about the game. It's a classic and highly recommend it for any RPG fans.

 #162

Mafia III

Let the Good Times Roll

 

Alright so, I didn't play Mafia II until last year...and while I enjoyed the story, I felt the gameplay and the open world felt really shallow. It was an open world city you couldn't really play around in...it took itself too seriously in that regard. But I let it slide because I was playing an 8 year old game...during a time when open world titles were still finding their footing. 

Unfortunately Mafia III is exactly the same. Great story, great characters. you feel like you're in 1968...but everything else is shallow. It gives the illusion of content, but in reality you're doing the same task over and over and over again. The game get's stupidly repetitive. Topped only by the fact that you have to do two separate playthroughs...so you have to go through all the repetitive garbage all over again. And of course there's no NG+, so all those upgrades you had and got so used to having were thrown out the window. 

It's not a terrible game by any means...but it feels like this studio put all it's stock into telling a great story, but everything surrounding it just wasn't very fun after you realize how many times you have to do these same tasks. OH and the game is a glitch ridden mess as well...the number of times I was forced to reload the game because an icon wouldn't appear, or the dialogue would freeze, was ridiculous. Plus frame rate drops and screen tearing were constant. Also, while I'm not picky with graphics...what is the world was with the clouds? It's like the sky was jumping frames all the time. It's like they were images that were just switching every few seconds instead of moving like clouds.

Still have the DLC to do...so hopefully now that all the district building is complete...I can just enjoy what's left.

Platinum #14

The Penguins of Madagascar: Dr. Blowhole Returns – Again!

The Penguins of Madagascar 100% Complete 

Collect all Bronze, Silver, and Gold Trophies.

 

So I've been watching the madagascar movies over the past week and remembered how this game existed. Having some nostalgia for the show and seeing how cheap the game was I decided to pick it up. I surprisingly found it a competently made game. It was very repetitive but overall still decently fun. I was kind of worried this would be on par with Megamind in terms of quality, but it was not. I was also surprised by how I platted this quicker than Megamind.

 

The best part was how the game aims for 60 fps but almost always ran at like a way lower framerate around 30-40. But man did those parts where no graphical effects were on the screen feel smooth.

 

Also remember what I said last plat write-up...

Quote

Honestly hoping THQ releases remasters of the SpongeBob PS2 games like has been theorized. Those will all be platted if they do release them.

YESSSSS IT'S A REMAKE.

 

Coming out next year tho. I can still find games to play in the meantime.

Nurse Love Syndrome

 Nurse Love Syndrome Perfection 
Unlocked all other trophies.

 

I'm glad I read this after Nurse Love Addiction; going in the reverse order would have felt disappointing. Nurse Love Syndrome is so much better that I'm not even sure where to begin. It is a lot longer, and not at all in a bad way. For reference, Nurse Love Addiction is listed as being 10-30 hours on VNDB, while Nurse Love Syndrome is 30-50. It starts out kind of slow, but only gets better from there. I actually got less sleep a few times because I told myself to "quit after this scene" only to go through four or five more.

 

I never thought I'd say this, but I think Sayuri's route is my favorite. It was between her, Nagisa, (even though she has a few screws loose, to say the least) and Mayuki (mostly because of Sakura Ayane). Sayuri was completely unlikable at first; at the time I never thought I'd end up caring about her so much. While none of the bad endings are quite as fucked up as Nurse Love Addiction, 

Spoiler

Sayuri's bad ending was just… ;_; The others were weird, depressing, or a bit of both. None of them were nearly as emotional for me, though.

 

The localization has its problems, but it doesn't ruin the game or anything extreme like that. The biggest problem is the text spacing. Seriously, how the fuck did someone look at this and think there were no errors? There are  so many text boxes that look like this  sentence. How hard is it to hit the goddamn backspace key? Another thing that drives me nuts is the inconsistency. So many localizations have this problem that "localization" and "inconsistent" are practically synonyms in my eyes. Let's look at this scene:

 

 

 

If they're going to insist on translating "manga" to "comics", then just fucking do it; don't half-ass it. This is the kind of shit most people won't notice nor care about, but it makes me want to bang my head against a wall. Another thing that pisses me off is how Kaori refers to Nagisa in the text (this isn't something that can be demonstrated with a screenshot). While she actually calls her "Nagisa senpai", the subtitles simply have Kaori calling her "senpai". Isn't this the exact opposite of how localization should be done!? Leaving Japanese in the subtitles instead of making it how people actually talk to each other in English; it's fucking brilliant, really. While I'm complaining, I'd like to add one more thing: first name/last name order stupidity. For fuck's sake, just leave it the way it is said. For example, hearing "Sawai Kaori" and reading "Kaori Sawai" is dumb.

 

I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant, but it's so annoying to see this shit over and over again. Where are all the competent editors? They don't hire them for localization work, that's for sure.

Darksiders III

 

 

Much easier than the previous titles thanks to the pre-patch method for difficulty trophies (works with physical version only), collectibles wise also much easier than before. I’m a fan of this series, Fury is such a badass! I just didn’t like the fact that the abyssal armor and Wicked K are not in the base game (DLC).

 

Can’t wait to play the newly announced title.

 #152 Portal Knights

 

 

     

 

Ultimate Portal Knight

 

Enjoyment: 5/10

Difficulty: 2/10

 

Decided to give it a try. I got it from ps+, i think on January. The game was good and fun but the trophies Cubicide and Dedicated Knight killed it for me. I will never understand why the put trophies where you have to do a LOT of things repeatedly but you don't have a way to track your progress.Same thing with the 10000 kills in FF9 or using skills or killing bosses in SAO Hollow Fragment and Realization. It took me 20 hours to do everything and another 10 to grind those 2 trophies. Dedicated Knight even glitched, i had to do more than 200 quests. I played offline and used a Ranger with a crossbow

#100 - Tales of Zestiria

Master of Zestiria

Time to 100% - ~75 hours

Difficulty - 4/10

Enjoyment - 7/10

 

The Tales games have always been one of my favourite series ever since I played Tales of Phantasia on the GBA. I bought every single game I could find for every platform I owned up until my XBox 360, where I loved Vesperia. Then I made the switch to PlayStation (no regrets, besides not making the switch sooner), and somehow...didn't play a single Tales game until my 127th completed game? I'm ashamed of myself.

 

So, I decided to make the first Tales plat my 100th platinum milestone, so at least it'll sit on my profile forever. It's just a pity this is probably the weakest Tales entry I've ever played. That's not so say I didn't enjoy it - I did, very much so - but it just wasn't as good as the other Tales games that I've loved throughout the years.

 

The characters are fairly shallow in this game for the most part (there were a couple that weren't, but telling the reasons would end up going into spoiler territory), though most of them were likeable enough, despite their lack of character development over the game. The story as well was fairly predictable, and you know from the beginning roughly how it's going to pan out - normally in a Tales game there are some unexpected twists and turns to keep you guessing as you go, but not here. There are a couple of sub-plots that didn't turn out quite how I expected (again, won't go into details because spoilers), but they were nothing exceptional.

 

The combat system is fairly fun though - I liked the Armitization aspect, that was new for a Tales game, and I had a lot of fun playing around with it, swapping out the partner characters to take tougher enemies. And I actually liked the depth of the equipment system - it's confusing at first, but once you get used to it, its fun to play around with and make OP builds in a way that you can't normally do in JRPGs where it's just "grind to level up until you're OP, and buy the best weapons available".

 

The DLC for this game, however, is possibly the worst DLC I've ever purchased. They take a character who was mostly shafted throughout the main game, and somehow shaft them some more, whilst throwing you into the least-inspired dungeon crawler in the world that feels like it'll never end (there are a couple of points where you think "oh, it's finally over", only to realise no, the pain is not over yet), with a half-assed story that throws in some antagonists from the main game that were ultimately pointless to the DLC's plot. Would not recommend this DLC at all.

 

Anyway, now that I've finally completed a Tales game, it's time to do the rest! But first, I need to fix my other source of shame for not having played a game in the series yet, despite it being one of my favourites - Star Ocean! Starting with Till the End of Time, as it was my favourite game on the PS2. Not looking forward to doing SO4 The Last Hope again. Did the 100% on X360...not sure I'm ready to do the whole thing again on PS4...

Monster Hunter World

#30: Conqueror of the New World

This fucking game. My first Monster Hunter game and most likely my last. It ranged from good to shit depending on the circumstances. Monster Hunter World feels like a formerly decent base game that the developers spent countless months on with the intention to actively try and make it unbearable for the player. Many of its mechanics are ranging from bad to downright retarded, and much is not even explained by the game, I only knew some of the mechanics from looking them up on the internet because this game ain't telling you shiieeet. The combat system is hard to like but at least has enough variety to find at least one weapon one can use. The quest design and characters are the most dull and boring I have ever seen, with only one side character standing out (but not in a good way, fuck you Handler). The design and balance of many fights is just really bad, with fights taking forever and most monsters oneshotting you either directly or by chaining unavoidable attacks together in one way or another, and the game handing out the most annoying status effects like candy, sometimes 2 or even 3 at a time(if you ever want a taste, the Azure Rathalos arena fight is among the worst in terms of design I have ever played, easy to find rage videos of it on youtube.). The game also likes to recycle stuff, many monsters are pretty much copies from each other. They also just lazily increase monsters hp and dmg of the exact same monsters to sell them as new content (going from low rank to high rank, fighting "tempered monsters" and "arch tempered monsters")

This is a 30-40 hours game in terms of original content, tops, which would have been the time I would have invested if not for trophies, instead I sit on over 200. This was so tedious that I would not have even considered it if it weren't for another player grinding trophies with me and making it all much more bearable, often even funny and more entertaining than the game itself even when doing the same shit for the 100th time.

 

Speaking of trophies, while the game was fun at times and frustrating at others, there is NO excuse for this utter atrocity of a trophy list. I thought Orcs Must Die Unchained would forever stay the worst grind I have ever done, but it was officially dethroned by this game. While OMDU was 200+ hours of the very same boring grind, at least that game had the common decency to tell you with progress bars how far you were. You knew how many hours and matches were left, you could see your progress. This game here is the epitomy of rng bullshit. Everything is rng, how the fights often go, if the rewards allow you to progress, and of course the infamous crown farming. Getting giant and small gold crowns is complete rng, I abused every shortcut to get this over with quicker, event quests (thank god for that, I would have been 600hours+ without them), "measuring" monsters and therefore avoiding many hours more, teaming up with others to have multiple times the measure attempts I would have had on my own. Despite all that, and despite getting very lucky (the poor fellow who helped me is not as blessed with rng, he still has some monsters left) I ended up with over 1000 monsters I had to hunt. This platinum has the potential to never end for people with bad luck, and this "no end in sight" feeling was the main reason I ranked it higher on my list of "crap trophy requirements" than even Ocs Must Die.

 

This was my 30th platinum, and boy was it a troubled one. While the game was overall not that great of an experience for me, I can recommend it to anyone who is dedicated in his search of the dullest of grinds, because this bad boy here ranks high in that regard. Non completionists who like the, lets just call it "special", type of combat system provided by this game, may also have some 50 hours of fun with it. Anyone else stay away, most of this games fanbase seem to be masochists, doing this to themselves for over 15 years by now.

This game will not completely leave my life today, as it will deliver DLC that will most likely have trophies, so at some point in my life I will do clean up and get the hard earned 100% back that the dlc will so cruelly rip away from me. Not before it becomes dirt cheap on sale though, because screw paying around 40€ for what will, first and firemost, be more recycled content.

Platinum #9  - Final Fantasy XV

Enjoyment: 3/10

Difficulty: 5/10

 

Now I understand this is a most recent Platinum thread, I'm not exactly proud of this Platinum. I'm bloody proud I've 100% this mess of a game! Fuck me you could tell this game wasn't ready when it first came out, even after all this time, it still felt empty to me. Sure there was some elements of enjoyment in this (Ardyn) but it couldn't make me not notice how poorly executed this was. Overall I wouldn't touch this again and I'd advice you don't either, there is simply more better stories out there and ones that makes sense!

 #145 - Disgaea 1 Complete

 

 

Trophy Complete - Obtain all trophies

 

Achieved: June 4th, 2019

PSNP's RS: Rare

Difficulty: 2

Enjoyment: 8

 

I have been a long-time lover of Disgaea but on my entry into the series (through the original PS2 release of Disgaea 1) I only scratched the surface of what these games truly had to offer. From Disgaea 2 onwards, I finally knew better so I reached the levels of madness late-game Disgaea ensures, but I never jumped back to the first to do the same. Now, I can finally say I did it thanks to this amazing remaster! My modus operandi with Disgaea games involves ignoring power leveling tactics until I beat the main story, in order not to make stages a mere formality. Once I hit the credits for the first time I go ham with all the little trick I already know and things get crazy, as those who play these games surely know. In the case of this one, mechanics are still not fully accessible and there's a lot of stuff further games introduced that hasn't been included in this one but it's fun all the same! Best story in the series to me too, so going through it after all these years was a treat  

 

Now I'm on the daunting quest of going from 0 to platinum in Tales of Vesperia in time for my birthday and the release of Fire Emblem Three Houses (July 28 and 26 respectively) so wish me all the luck you can, I'll need it

Chaos on Deponia

 

I thought this was an excellent follow up to the first Deponia game and leaves me looking forward to playing the other two in the series when I see a good deal on them. It's a fine example of a classic Point & Click game with a wicked sense of humour and several amusing moments. I recommend it highly.

Black Mirror

 

Eh. This was okay. The story was interesting and there were some suitably creepy characters lurking in the creepy mansion the game takes place in. The mechanics are sadly what let this down including an almost unmovable camera that doesn't budge very far, borderline tank controls and slow walking speed for the main character who occasionally also gets stuck on bits of scenery and objects if you walk too close to them. It looked and felt like playing a PS3 game. Would recommend if you fancy a spooky tale but don't expect a great game.

Conan Exiles

 

I'm not going to lie, if it wasn't free on PS+ and didn't have a debug mode I would never have touched this game. From what I saw during my limited play time, it appears to be extremely unpolished and dull to play. The PS4 version utilises the same UI as the PC version which makes inventory management an absolute nightmare using a Dual Shock 4 and it grated very quickly. Was happy to be done with this.

The Raven Remastered

 

I missed this game when it was on PS3 and decided to give the remaster a go on PS4. I enjoyed it very much although Chapter 1 was a bit of a slog as you're contained to moving between three small train carriages for the most part. Things get a lot more interesting as soon as the action switches to the cruise ship shortly afterwards. The gameplay was solid and the cast of characters are varied. The story was enjoyable as well and kept me guessing until the end. Some more spoilery thoughts below.

 

Spoiler

The switch of characters in Chapters 2 & 3 was a rug pull I didn't expect since I assumed Constable Zellner was the protagonist of the game. Equally I genuinely never expected Zellner to be The Raven either as I thought for sure he or she was going to be Detective LeGrand.

Very good job man. I knew you had it in you to press on and persevere despite the walls of text and complaining you put out regarding this game. 

 

I personally hate trophies that hinge on RNG so I probably won’t get this game, but mainly because I’m just not interested in it. You have more patience than I when it comes to tackling long slogs. 

 

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is my longest game at around 135 hours but I enjoyed every minute of it.
