Plat #154: Infamous First Light

 

Fun little open-world side game of the Infamous series following the Neon Conduit Fetch before the events of Infamous Second Son. Story was way too short in my opinion (understanding that it is basically a DLC in form of a game) and the challenges were a little grindy, but I enjoyed it for what it was.

 #206: Megadimension Neptunia VII

This game exceeded my expectations. I've played the first 3 main games and Cyberdimension Neptunia, so I figured this game was similar. Let me tell you, it's not. The biggest surprise was the soundtrack, which is so much better and epic. My favourite tracks are ABSOLUTE, Will be Venus, Encounter of Destiny, URANUS, and PROVIDENCE. The story is also a step up: the bad guy girl is much more powerful, so the CPUs need to step up their game too. This is were the NEXT form comes in, which is even more powerful than their HDD form.

 

As for things I didn't like: well, this game has a card collectible that can only be obtained from a special item. 62 of these items are obtained by correctly answering questions, but the rest needs to be farmed from enemies. Oh, and lets not forget that you can only hold 30 at most, because this item also doubles as a healing consumable. Opening it has a chance to award one of the 33 collectible cards, which are divided into 3 rarities: normal, rare, and super rare. Super rare has a chance of 0.1% and the game can give you multiple of the same card. This requires save scumming, lots and lots of save scumming. I got super rare cards 16 times before I had all 4 unique ones. Normally, I tend to stay far away from this lootbox crap, so having it shoved down my throat like this was a huge disappointment. It took almost 7.5 hours of reloading and opening card packs (it took me 23-25 seconds to open all 30 card packs and another ~5 seconds to reload), so this got extremely boring after the first 5 minutes.

Then there's the Spelunker dungeon: the second dungeon was very annoying to complete, as I'd sometimes die just by jumping. Eventually, I had to resort to watching a video to get past a section of the third floor where I always died when jumping from one platform to the next one. It turns out you can skip the first platform and immediately jump to the second one without dying, which is something I don't get, but ok.

 

All in all it's a fun game, except for the cards. Whoever came up with the idea to implement this should be fired, as no one in their right mind would enjoy wasting hours reloading the game and mashing the  button.

 

Here are my favourite OSTs from the game

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Difficulty: 8.5/10

Enjoyment: 9/10

 

What can you even say about this game. They just don't make videogames like this anymore. All the tiny details, the clever humor, the intriguing plot with all the twists, the philosophical discussions trying to make you the judge of who is really good or bad in this game, the meta jokes, the tons of extra content after you finish the game.... This is a series like no other, must play for anyone, thank you mr Kojimbo (and the rest of the team) once again.

Platinum #138 : Sacred 2

A very good game which suffered a bit from a wide range of bugs but nothing too bad.It took me 136 hours to get it but I enjoyed it so much that it didn't feel a lot.

 #100 & Trophy #5000 - Dragon Ball FighterZ

 

This was a great game. The keyword here is "was". As a fighting game, it's well-made and decently balanced. The combos and specials you can perform are pretty satisfying. Not to mention, it's pretty beginners-friendly. There's a lot of auto-combos that can do insane damage. But that doesn't mean that beginners have the capability of reaching higher ranks online, as manual combos are still the best way to deal insane damage. Truly a game that deserves the title of "easy to learn, but hard to master". The other big selling point for me, other it being Dragon Ball, was the art style. ArcSys for the longest time used 2D sprites for their fighters. It wasn't until the newest Guilty Gear games that they went for 3D. But the cool thing about them is that they still replicate the hand-drawn style of 2D animation using their 3D models. Using techniques like limiting character frames or smearing in-between movement, they effectively mimic an anime look that even 3D-CG anime fail to replicate. At first glance, it really does look like a 2D fighter. But when the camera starts rotating and moving around, it's actually pretty wild. In short, the game looks visually better than the anime, lol.

 

What killed my enjoyment of the game was, as expected, the damn trophies. Most of them are not bad. None of them I'd classify as hard. The 530,000 BP trophy isn't that bad anymore because all the really good players are in the 1,000,000+ range anyways. The first 300k, you barely lose anything when losing matches, so it's not that worrying. It's when you pass that mark that you got to make sure you're not losing more matches than you win. I have very little experience with fighting games, so a lot of time was dedicated in making sure that I fully know the combos of the main three I used. Also, the trophy's pretty boostable now too, so the BP trophy's not an issue anymore. The real issue is the Zeni trophy. 20,000,000 Zeni is a ridiculous amount. As an example, I've seen players in lobbies with 1.5 million BP and 400+ hours clocked in, and some of them didn't even reach half of that total. Even with the most efficient grind (which is playing the same two story battles over and over again) still takes 65-70 hours of grinding. I regret not buying the turbo controller for this, but meh, at least it's done. I actually ended up doing the last 10 million during the last three days leading up to the day I got the plat. Probably the most unhealthy experience I had with gaming was trying to get 5 million in a single day. Woke up at 9 am and slept at 7 am. Literally needed some Doritos and Mountain Dew, and I'd actually would look like a complete degenerate. This trophy's not that bad if you take your time with it. But if you're stupid like me, then your gonna have the time of your life *cries inside*. I still love the game though, it'll just take a while to get the memories of my grind out of my mind and replace it with the memories of my having fun with this game.

 

For the longest time, my goal was to make this my 100th plat. I wanted it to be something really rare and anime 'cause there's no stopping my weeb needs. Persona 4 Arena came in mind, but it quickly left my mind when I thought about what makes that plat so rare. And I already had DB FighterZ in my trophy list uncompleted (barely played the game to begin with). So I did just that. During that time, I was at 95 plats, so I needed to work on other stuff before platting FighterZ, and I had plans of making the three Persona Dancing games my next three plat, and then plat some other random game. When I finished up all the DLC trophies for TLOU, I realized that I was not too far away for 5000 trophies overall. So I added the rest of the trophies I need for FighterZ and the trophy count of the Persona Dancing games to my then-current trophy count and I realized that I was short by 11 trophies. I was looking for any other plat I can get in under 11 trophies and I realized that I had KH:CoM with 10 trophies left. That leaves me 1 trophy short, so I got the one last trophy I needed in Braid to make sure that when I plat DB FighterZ, it'll be my 100th plat and 5000th overall trophy. 

 

Another thing that I had planned out was my platinum screenshot. And I made sure not to failing the the timing for this one.

 

This is the closest I'll ever get to a dab being my platinum screenshot. And yes, this is very important for me.

 249 - Battlefield Hardline

 

 

Another backlog game down, 2 years and 10 months to finally earn this. Not too worried about playing the DLC, finishing the base list was my main priority. Now I have 50GB+ space back on my system for the next backlog game! =]

Dust: An Elysian Tail

 Mithrarin (#100) 

 

Having recently finished and greatly enjoyed Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night I wanted to play another game in the same genre and Dust: An Elysian Tail happened to be on sale so I picked it up. The game turned out to be surprisingly good with a touching story and smooth gameplay. Also a pretty easy trophy list, so I'm a bit surprised that this is a very rare plat.

 

Also my 100th plat and on the same day I decided to get lifetime premium ?

#125 Judgment 

 

 

Mann!! What a game! I've lots to talk about for my chosen milestone so here goes. 

 

RGG studios have done it again here by creating an impeccable story, amazing sidequests and combat as well as memorable soundtracks which I've so many to share! 

 

Without spoiling or saying too much about the story, you're essentially a disgraced lawyer who acquitted a suspect who turns out to be a murderer and so you quit that job to become a detective in order to escape your past/ prevent that from happening again and to redeem yourself in a way. You get to butt heads with some really interesting foes including Hamura who was my favourite character in the game! Seriously look at that smug grin on his face! 

 

 

 

 

 



 



 
 

 

 

 

And also this is random but Higashi sounds a lot like Nishiki from Yakuza 0 and 1. 

 

As for the sidequests, there are many hilarious and memorable ones such as the Twisted Trio questline and some really interesting ones like helping an office worker who is complaining of sexual harrassment from her boss (and I love the way it ended). 

 

Oh and this piece of dialogue always cracks me up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This time around you also get to date in this game. The dialogue between the girls and yagami were really dynamic and believable which I really loved. Some were even relatable especially talking to Nanami who is my favourite among them all. 

 

As for the minigames here, I really enjoyed Drone racing which was probably my favourite thing to do along with playing paradise VR both of which were fun and had cool soundtracks. And lol I saw this meme on Reddit which pretty summed up how I felt when I learnt there was no karoake :/

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Combat in this game gives you two styles to choose from: Crane which is excellent for crowd control and Tiger for single foes. I surprisingly loved the combat here a lot more than Kiwami 2 which I felt was very simple. The heat actions were also very unique and I had lots of fun executing them. By far this was my favourite! It's a shame the studio is turning (pun intended) to turn-based combat in Yakuza 7. 

 

Finally it wouldn't be a plat post of mine if I didn't leave behind some soundtracks for you to listen and there were a buttload of them that I liked! Grab a pair of headphones and enjoy! (Seriously grab headphones to hear the stellar bass). 

 

 

 

 

 

This one plays in the main menu which is very stylish and I was immediately drawn to the game from the get-go especially at 0:33 when it kicks in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one and the one below it, plays depending on which fighting style you choose with the first being Crane style and the second being tiger. 

 

 

 

This one is a very chill soundtrack. 

 

This one for some reason reminds me of Mirror's edge catalyst when you infiltrate a building I won't name for spoilers. Very mysterious

 

This one plays when you fight one of the keihin gang bosses (who are everywhere..) but the bass though! 

 

This one is pretty badass especially when it kicks in at the perfect moment in the story

 

This one plays in some of the chase segments of the game. It's pretty upbeat!

 

This one can be played in the office at Yagami's place! I sometimes just chill there to listen to it. 

 

 

This one sounds better I think when you're playing the game and running through hordes of goons  but I like it. 

 

This one plays when you pretty much signed your death wish I won't say more 

 

 

This one sounds like something straight out of Yakuza 1 which I'm all about. 

 

This one is higashi's theme. 

 

 

Had tons of fun playing this game for the last month and I was so happy to make it a milestone at 125. Overall I rate it just before Yakuza 0 but above 1 and 2. It arguably gives 0 a run for its money but it just comes short because of the lackluster tailing segments and being a  shorter game in general in terms of story, sidequests and things to do. (though 92 hrs plat time isnt that short   but relatively it is).  

 

Here is my plat screenshot and my final stats . 

 

 

 

 

Well onto the next game where everything might feel stale afterwards :/.

#137 - Exist archive 

 

The plat took me 104 hours, game was fun. Im not the type of dude who play random jrpgs but my real who play just em told me try it out. So i lended it from my pal and plated it like a boss. U can earn all endings in 1 playthrough by doin 4 safes at specific spots during the story. 1 trophy is missable if u pick the wrong ending to unlock 1 speed boss. I liked dat u could learn all spells by everyone during fights. But the affection need to be high to certain homies to do so. Lvls r unlimited my highest dude was lvl 205. If u get always good gear nothing is challenging.

My new rarest platinum, actually really enjoyed the game, I just started playing it again on a whim and kinda got drawn in.

 

A lot of grinding, having to get 100 skills and gadgets, getting over 10 million bounty and getting every weapon type to efficiency 1000 

 

I may get the DLC when it goes on sale and play through that

Difficulty : 3/10

Time : 15h

 

The easiest in the trilogy .

I found all the time trials in this game is really easy , only level 24 gave me some trouble but it was still easy .

 

The only annoying part is collecting all games (which is easy it just takes long)

 

And getting used to the awful bike levels, other than that it's pretty easy

Man, I sooo want to platinum this but it’s very time consuming.  Might have to spread it out over a few years.  Hats off to you and everyone else who grinds through this game.
