Popular Post Zach Posted January 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) #154 Assassin's Creed III Remastered Enjoyment: 8/10 Difficulty: 4.5/10 Time: 41hrs (35hrs main game and 6hrs for the DLC) Since I platinumed this game on the PS3, I will quote what I thought about this game from my post back then since I feel like it sums up my experience with the game perfectly. I will say, however,, that this game was somehow way more buggy for me on the PS4 version. Gotta love ol' Ubi lol. The Ezio trilogy on the PS4 was somehow more buggy than the PS3 versions as well, so this does not surprise me at all lol. Obviously time to complete is shorter because there were no online trophies this time around and also I knew what I was doing basically by heart being I did this on the PS3 in 2018. Anyways, here's my previous post. P.S. Love the updated platinum image for the PS4 to be honest. Simple, but nice.

The story was good, and I loved Haytham Kenway and Charles Lee as the bad guys. My negatives for the characters/story was that Connor was boring and we needed more of Charles Lee. Charles Lee was very close to being my favorite antagonist in the series, but again, I needed more of him. With that being said, Crawford Starrick from AC Syndicate is still my favorite antagonist in the whole series. Now what made this a 8/10 instead of a 9 for me was the fact that the gameplay was buggy as shit, even to this day. I appreciated the new gameplay mechanics (an upgrade from the Ezio Trilogy), but it didn't work out as planned. I'm so glad that they perfected the gameplay in AC4. All and all, the game isn't too bad if you can look past the bugs. (Edit) P.S. I LOVED THE TIME PERIOD. I miss learning about the American Revolution in school.

Popular Post Piggie_Pie Posted January 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2020 Overcooked 2 Master Chef - #82 My Score: 8/10 This game should be a premarital prerequisite. When my wife and I first started playing this game we were almost yelling at each other. Once we realized that we weren't being productive we started to communicate and work really well together. This game has a funny way of making you hate it but it's just addictive enough to keep playing. My wife and I just started working on the DLC which is MUCH harder than the base game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sagaan Posted January 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2020 #145 - Uncharted 3 drakes deception remastered The trilogy was cool to play, i enjoyed dem all. Uncharted 3 was the easiest out of em 3 imo. Story wise 2 was best. Guess i get Uncharted 4 for 15-20 bugs or i wait till it appears on plus X D. Nothing is missable, farming kills also easy via chapter select or reload. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AJ_Radio Posted January 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) A brief insight of the last several platinums I've earned in the last month and a half, starting with... Platinum #215: Titanfall 2 (December 3rd, 2019) Difficulty: 5/10 Excitement Rating: 6/10 Estimated Time to Platinum: 10 - 12 Hours Mostly easy, straightforward first person shooter with an unremarkable story. The catch that separates this a little from other shooters is the usage of Titans. These are giant thinking robots with their own set of firepower and brains, probably the future war technology for decades to come. Some abilities were pretty awesome, and they made an otherwise stale generic shooter pretty fun at times. Hardest trophy is of course beating The Gauntlet in under 33.65 seconds. With @Stay-Pationts video guide on YouTube I was able to beat this challenge in two to three hours. Not as hard as people like to call it, but not a walk in the park either. Titanfall 2 is a game best for those looking for a title far under $10. A game rental would be a better choice. Platinum #216: Super Meat Boy (December 3rd, 2019) Difficulty: 10/10 (you know why) Excitement Rating: 10/10 Estimated Time to Platinum: 100+ Hours This is the crown jewel in my platinum collection. The flawless diamond, the highly coveted treasure that people have slit their throats over. Now of course, I'm over exaggerating, but you get the general idea. I don't have to explain this game. Really, I don't. It's been talked about so many times over the past decade that anybody who considers himself a gamer has probably seen it at least once or twice. Everybody knows it's hard. Everybody knows how long it takes to platinum. Thus, the most I will give regarding this game is the sheer dedication and pressure I had to overcome to beat those no death runs. Impossible Boy on it's own took over 40 - 50 hours to get. Everything before was much easier. A respectable platinum, and an accomplishment I will always admire in my gaming history probably until the day I die. Platinums #217 & #218: Volgarr the Viking (December 8th, 2019; December 11th, 2019) Difficulty: 6/10 Excitement Rating: 9/10 Estimated Time to Platinum: 10 - 15 Hours (both stacks) An indie old school style platformer taking inspiration from old games like Rastan. Volgarr the Viking is a game where you learn from your mistakes. It can be a brutally difficult platformer your first time through, but as you become more experienced the game becomes a lot easier. Everything in this game is scripted. Enemy spawns, hazard placements, chest locations and so forth. There is hardly any RNG involved, and that's a good thing. Volgarr requires muscle memory to beat. After a few days I found even going for Ending A to be fairly easy, despite working with limited lives. Every obstacle can be overcome, it's easily possible to beat an entire level without taking a hit. One trophy requires you to open 11 chests for a particular treasure, all without taking a hit. But the results are fulfilling and rewarding. Fun game, and while obscure, Volgarr the Viking is definitely a game I recommend to those who love old school platformers. Platinum #219: Heavy Rain (December 16th, 2019) Difficulty: 4/10 Excitement Rating: 5/10 Estimated Time to Platinum: 12 - 13 Hours Mostly unremarkable. Playing Heavy Rain a second time made me realize how tedious getting all the endings was. Seeing Ethan cut off his finger got old after the second time watching. Can't say much since I think everybody here on this website has seen or played this game. Mostly an easy platinum, but some QTEs were an absolute pain using the PS3 controller. Platinum #220: Guacamelee 2 (December 26th, 2019) Difficulty: 6/10 Excitement Rating: 8.5/10 Estimated Time to Platinum: 15 Hours My late Christmas gift to myself and the final platinum I earned to end the year 2019. Guacamelee 2 is everything you loved about the first game, only with more. The graphics are noticeably better, the story has a quirky sense of humor, the gameplay and controls are good and responsive. The platforming is much harder in this game than it was in the first game. There are new gameplay mechanics that you have to be able to perform and perfect if you want to reach Salvador. Changing dimensions while jumping from wall to wall is just one of the things you're going to have to get good at. The last Pollo dungeon (giving you the Infinite ability and the Hen's Secret Message) and the Jade Temple Key were a real pain in the neck. I spent over a hour on the last Pollo dungeon, and while the platforming is good, this game wasn't designed to have Super Meat Boy esque platforms. It's easily doable, but not without a lot of trial and error. This is a fun and enjoyable platinum. The only difference Hard Mode brings is enemies hit harder and have more health. Not as bad as you might think. Definitely recommended. Platinum #221: Vanquish (January 11th, 2020) Difficulty: 9/10 Excitement Rating: 9/10 Estimated Time to Platinum: 25 - 30 Hours The first platinum to kickstart 2020, and a pretty bangin one at that. Vanquish is a fast paced third person shooter. It takes what western third person shooters have done and adds it's own spice to the mix. A game of this caliber is only something the Japanese could pull off. Not saying anybody else isn't capable of pulling this off, but this definitely goes to show how good and technical the Japanese can be when they make their games. The story was forgettable. The gameplay on the other hand is fast paced and responsive. Boost Rolling is a definite highlight in this game and will be required for the Challenges. The campaign on Hard difficulty wasn't that bad at all. The collectibles, notably the statues, pretty much require a guide to get them all. So I come to the Challenges. I give this game a 9 out of 10 in difficulty because of them. Challenges 1 thru 3 are hard but definitely doable in a hour or two of practice. Challenge 4 is a real step up and I struggled with it for about three hours or so before I finally beat it. Challenge 5 was fun, but a lot less difficult than Challenge 4. Beat that within a hour or two. Then there's Challenge 6... This challenge is why over 6000 people gave up on the platinum, who are stuck at 91 percent completion for Vanquish. To put it short, you really need to be on your A game to beat this challenge. Many people here have heard about this challenge and seen it, so to put this briefly, expect to spend at least a dozen hours or more on Challenge 6. It took me 12 to 15 hours alone to beat Challenge 6. The first few Waves aren't too difficult but they all require a bit of preparation. Wave 4 is where things really start to get hectic, and Wave 5 is just insane. You are going up against two Bogeys who are able to kill you in a matter of seconds. If you need more information, just look up some videos on YouTube. You'll know what I'm referring to. So in conclusion, great game, fun adventure, a rewarding and satisfying platinum after hours of effort. I don't know if Vanquish is the second hardest game I've completed on my profile, but it definitely ranks in the top 5 hardest platinums I've achieved. If you're up for the challenge, Vanquish is a no brainer. There is even a PS4 version coming out next month, along with Bayonetta. I may snag it off of PSN, or when it becomes cheap on Amazon.

Popular Post Redgrave Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 - #173: River City Hero - River City Girls When I got this initially some months back I had hoped it would have had online co-op so I could play it with a friend but that wound up not being the case and it really put me off from playing it since I thought the devs reasoning for not having online co-op especially in this day and age was kind of dumb. But after giving it some thought and consideration I decided to give it a try anyway since I did have two controllers, so I could at least get the co-op trophies thankfully. Now I'm not really into Beat'em Up style games but I had fun with this one and I really liked the premise of it where it's two girls trying to save their boyfriends The soundtrack was also pretty great too. It has some songs that can get stuck in your head but in a good way. My only issue outside of no online co-op was one of the bosses feeling out of place since I guess they weren't the only one based on a Double Dragon boss, but the boss in question was kind of like a bullet hell sort of boss that can juggle you and I found it more annoying than challenging. But beyond that, the game has a lot more positives and for I think it was $40 it's well worth that asking price. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ShonenCat Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Platinum #50 - Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA Difficulty Rating 5/10 Enjoyment Rating 10/10 Rare - 13.46% I never thought a game from this modern era could make me feel as good as Ys VIII did ? What is Ys you ask? It’s a wondrous action JRPG series that’s been in the industry since it started on the PC-88 in 1987, predating even Final Fantasy by several months. Everyone’s favorite red haired adventurer, Adol Christin, has been on countless journeys while facing many impossible odds. His adventures don’t look like they’re slowing down anytime soon, and I sure hope they don’t, for Ys is one of my most favorite game franchises ever (: The series still holds as much charm and passion as it did three decades ago. Falcom knows very well how to deliver amazing stories and fantastical worlds, so much so that I feel that the Square and ATLUS of today could learn a thing or two from them. However, Falcom games are usually very low in quantity here in the west, so it’s best to preorder anything they develop.. or you’ll end up paying big prices for them later. In my case, I had to buy Ys VIII from a third party seller to even get my hands on it. When it comes to this franchise, no price is too high for the ultimate of adventures ^^ In the eighth installment of the main Ys series, Adol and his pal Dogi are on their way towards their next big adventure, until they are shipwrecked upon the mysterious Isle of Seiren along with several others. From there, Adol and his newfound comrades must fortify shelter, explore the island, uncover it’s mysteries and search for other castaways. I wish I could say more than that regarding the story, but this is a game that shouldn’t be spoiled in the slightest. Also, I’d love for as many people to play this game as possible It can be played on either Vita or PS4, although I believe the PS4 version has more content and better performance. Whichever platform you choose, you still can’t go wrong here. The real time combat is fast, frantic, addicting and satisfying. Plus, there is the music. Oh my God, the MUUSSIICC! Everything from the game’s rocking overworld themes to it’s more calm and serene dungeon tunes, you can’t go wrong with an original soundtrack that is most certainly worth owning on CD There is bound to be something here to satisfy everyone! Don’t let the anime aesthetic fool you, this is a godlike series that’s been around a really long time and handles itself and it’s gameplay design with the utmost care. There is nothing here that one should find “overly weeb” about it apart from a few sexy outfits ? So who is best girl? Hmm... Ricotta of course! Because she said her top priority was to fill out and obtain a curvy figure ? She’s also the sweetest and cutest out of all the other girls. Plus I have this thing for wild girls with green hair ^//^ So I must ask my boi Adol “Y U no call dibs on Ricotta when she told you to?!” >< Then I remembered that “adventure” is Adol’s canon romance This platinum journey is pretty medium in it’s difficulty. It will require a good amount of time and skill. You won’t come across anything too punishing that can’t be overcome through a bit of leveling up though. Like most JRPGs, they ask you to do literally everything the game has to offer. You can do everything in one playthrough, but it would be a miserable experience. This is why I recommend two playthroughs. Your first being on Normal and your second being on Nightmare with New Game+ Try to do as much side stuff as you can on your Normal playthrough as you slowly enjoy the main story. The game will prompt you when the point of no return comes up, so you can clean up everything you need to before the final boss. If you somehow missed a side quest, you could always try again on your second playthrough. Keep in mind when you’re playing on Nightmare, you’ll have to aim for the true ending because that’s what the trophy calls for. Adol should be pretty beefed up by the time you’re ready to begin New Game+, so it shouldn’t be all that hard to beat Nightmare difficulty. You get the true ending by obtaining 200 reputation points. They come from getting high ranks in raids and hunts. Raising another character’s approval rating gets you reputation points as well. You’ll find it’s not as complicated as it sounds ? It’s a fantastic game! One worthy of your time and as my 50th platinum milestone! This is a series I never grow tired of, and I am definitely looking forward to the PS4 version of Ys: Memories of Celceta this spring! Since that’s finally being localized, it gives me hope that the west will eventually receive Ys IX: Monstrum Nox at some point OwO That being said, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA was my most favorite game that I played in 2019 and is also my most personal favorite platinum journey to date ^o^ ❤️ Edited January 22, 2020 by ShonenCat 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TonicLemonIce Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 #101: NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Fun: 5/10 || Plat Fun: 5/10 || Difficulty: 3/10 || Time: 35 hours || Grind: 3/10 Dogshit. Absolutely disgusting dogshit. Even Sharknado 2 offers a more coherent experience than this brainless fuckery. But enough about the Naruto anime, let's talk about the game! So far this is the third entry I've platted and I gotta say, it was actually surprisingly fun. Yeah, they changed the substitution mechanic to be super easy, but let's be real here: 3D anime fighters were never about skill to begin with. The animations are fun, the character roster is HUGE (but still suffers from monotone roles, even tho a little less than previous entries). This game is all about presentation and it really does a cool job here. Now if you disregard the dumb story and the horrible voice acting (which you can do by thankfully being able to skip almost every piece of dialog/cutscene there is) you have a vastly improved story mode compared to 2. Gone are the hours of backtracking, gone are mindnumbingly long, uneventful traveling routes. It's a short, chill hub and looks gorgeous. Well at least if you compare it to prior entries, the graphics of the characters are still terrible and the landscape animations are barely even stock overlays. But we'll take what we can get I guess. You can enjoy the plat for what it is. It's more streamlined than 2 for sure. Way less grindy too. But you've got the still unnecessary 30 hours campaign trophy. For what? I've barely needed 8 hours to not only complete the story, but to also complete every single campaign related trophy there was. So 22 hours of unneeded electricity bills, yay. Fuck that, im gonna dock a plat fun point from now on every time a game has a trophy like that. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jounochi Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 Platinum #150 - Tomb Raider: Underworld (PS3) After platinuming Skate 3 I decided to chip off another game from my old PS3 backlog, and I decided Tomb Raider was on the chopping block. This is a game that I started back when my account first started back in 2012, and man did I forget why I put it down. The game itself looks fine for what it was in 2008, when it released. Since then, there have been many better games in the genre, of which the new Tomb Raiders are a part of, that have been made. The story is dull and full of throwaway dialog that serves close to no purpose, the traversal is clunky as all hell, there is major clipping and glitches with the terrain, there are 185 total collectibles across six stages which seems like overkill, and when you're solving the levels there is close to no direction without having to consult your PDA. All my grievances aside, I didn't completely hate it. It reminded me of the old PC Tomb Raider games a bit and I enjoyed the game for what it was in the end. Game Difficulty: 3/10 Enjoyment: 5/10 After playing this game I think I may move on to the reboot of Tomb Raider. I remember having a much better time with that and I still need to do some post game stuff. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RedRodriguez87 Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 #274: The True King A condensed version of FF15. My feelings on this game are very weird; ironically, the problem I had with it was that it was too simplistic. Gameplay wise, it feels way to streamlined and restrictive, despite the fact that i haven't played the original. There was nothing I could really get into that would justify the eventual grinding all RPG-based/inspired games have. I mean, it wasn't bad, just not very good. The story was alright, I got the jist of it, I could honestly say that I would like to play the full game someday. I made a couple status updates expressing my annoyance with some characters, but all that turned out to be justified narratively speaking, and I'm sure it would be even more so in the full game. I guess what I'm saying is, I did not like this game, but it did what I hoped it would, and got me interested in the main game, but only slightly; I don't have this burning desire to play it. And hey, it's a pretty cool platinum, so it's not time lost, I guess. #275: MASTER OF THE TRACK I'll be honest, it wasn't too bad. The graphics are alright, there are a good number of easter eggs for fans, a decent selection of characters and ways to customise your kart. All in all, not a bad purchase for kids. But I can't help but compare it to it's more renowned predecessor. Nicktoons Racing is a game that exists, and in terms of fan-service really outdoes it. - Better story - Better presentation - Greater selection of Nick cartoons - Better representation OF said cartoons, from karts to race tracks. - ACTUAL VOICED CHARACTERS. Yeah, everyone in the PS4 game is mute. I won't call it a better game, because everything I read seemed to suggest that it arguably isn't, but I can't helped but be disappointed still that that was a another case of a much older (20 years) game going above and beyond in ways modern games just don't want to bother to. (MARVEL SUPER HERO SQUAD: COMIC COMBAT) #276: Platinum So I woke up one day, and said "you know what? I want to try that uDraw tablet and get some trophies from the games." Then I found it there was only 3 made, THEN found out one of those had an online trophy which is now unobtainable, which means I'll never own a full collection of uDraw trophies, but on the bright side, it does mean I am 50% done in getting the platinums! And that's all there is to say about this one. Marvel Super Hero Squad sucked as much ass now as it did back then. Writing and characters that only serve to insult kids' intelligence. "I'm Captain America and I wanna remember the Alamo for some reason!" HUR HUR i"M HULK AND I POOPY PANTS HUR HUR I'm Dr Doom, and I'm gonna take over the world but my mommy says its time for bed *starts sucking thumb* To all DC fans, if any Marvel fan gives you crap over teen Titans Go, feel free to remind them this existed. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dexistential Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 #22: Hidden Agenda Difficulty: 1.5/10 Fun: 6/10 Time: 1 year 9 months Originally bought this game as a party game to play with some mates, but we only got through one chapter before getting drunk instead. It had been sitting in my backlog list since, and I've been on a sort of backlog craze lately so I don't feel so guilty digging into a long experience like RDR2 or Death Stranding. This is a Playlink experience, and there's quite a few trophies linked to Competitive play, so you'll need two smart devices with the app downloaded for the plat. It makes it particularly annoying when it comes to following a guide, which you'll need another device to read off. It is almost essential that you play off a guide, as there is no chapter select and autosave. Honestly just this point alone makes me want to claw my eyes out. I made a mistake in the competitive playthrough about three and a half hours in, and it required me to start from the beginning, and do the exact same thing ?. This was the first game I've ever had to use backup saves on a USB (which I didn't know you could do). The story itself is actually quite good; a crime thriller about hunting down a serial killer. It plays in a similar ilk to a Telltale game with dialogue choices and QTEs. After the first playthrough it did feel rather repetitive though. Surprised the Plat is only an 8.67% rarity (thought it would be in that 15-20% range). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybaz85 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 On 1/5/2020 at 6:48 AM, AK-1138 said: Platinum #452: Difficulty: 2/10 Playtime: 5-6 hours Enjoyment: 6/10 So while browsing the old JP store on a whim late December last year, what to my wondering eye should appear but a heretofore ubeknownst regional version of Broken Sword 5? Not being a man to turn down an agreeable stacking opportunity, and at a 75% discount at that, a decision was duly made in its favour, and into the bAKlog it went. Now, since I'd last had me a bit of the third best Broken Sword game not even two years ago, I decided to try my hand at a relatively casual attempt at speedrunning... hardly an ideal way to play an adventure game, I know. I would have handily made it to #3 on the current leaderboards if not for the odd mishap or two or three or four. Firstly, I pissed away some fifteen minutes on startup due to rushing and missing an event flag. Then things chugged along at a nice pace until a certain inevitable goat had me replay another fifteen minutes because of course it did. It wouldn't be a Broken Sword game if it weren't for some hellish goat messing up your shit. Oh man, does this mean The VVitch exists within the Broken Sword verse? Then the language barrier came into play with a certain coded letter. Frantically searching around for some help, I found it in the most innocent and unlikely of places... PlayStationTrophies! Yes indeed, that increasingly stagnant and OBSOLETE website I hardly ever visit anymore bailed my ass out and for that I'm grateful. After that, it was a straight shot to the finish line, bar the odd messed up puzzle or two. I really think I could have made it to #3 if I could have avoided these setbacks. Oh well. It was an honest try. Love the Broken Sword franchise, and Serpent's Curse really does a great job of bringing the series back to its wry yet painterly globetrotting roots after the patchy Angel of Death and the experimental Sleeping Dragon. I had a really special time playing SD back in the day though, so despite its flaws that I do fully recognize, I still rank it second to Shadow of the Templars. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get the rest of the series back onto PlayStation, just sayin'... A powerful swansong for dearly departed series composer Barrington Pheloung though it is, the game's most enduring impact on my life is "Jasmine", that goddamn catchy ass bootleg dollar store T.Rex song that keeps worming its way into various playlists of mine. Speaking of which, guess it's time for me to get back on the road, cruisin' down the highway... stop the car, I wanna get in. I only remember playing the original back in the day and would love to one day go back to this! i miss and have always adored adventure games and therefore the classic from Lucas Arts, Sierra, games like Monkey island series, grim fandango,full throttle i adore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cik93 Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN #212 #6000 Be Greater Difficulty: 2/10 Enjoyment: 10/10 Raised with Spider-Man, who became my first superhero and also my favorite one from childhood thanks to Raimi trilogy, but never played a game about him. A stunning experience for all ages, with a challenging trophy cabinet. Good job Insomniac! ??????????????
