Popular Post PooPooBlast Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 #133 Yakuza 3 (PS4) Another incredible Yakuza entry! This one is about Kiryu attempting to seek a peaceful life away from all the yakuza shenanigans, trying to establish an orphanage in Okinawa. However, as all we know, the yakuza shenanigans never end and so he is once again sucked into the yakuza world with all of its problems! (Tell me if you haven't heard this one before :P). The setting of this game is in Kamurocho (Tokyo) and Ryukyu (Okinawa). Okinawa was a breath of fresh air with its down to earth people and smaller buildings as opposed to the crowded and busy Kamurocho. The orphanage moments with the kids were also a nice change pace from all the criminal world and were heartwarming. I enjoyed those despite many people finding them boring. Story-wise, I really liked this one. Characters were memorable, well-written and well-voiced. Two of my most favourite side characters were Kanda and Rikiya in that order. Kanda especially stole the show man! His volatile and over the top demeanor was a sight to be hold! Seriously watch this (Not a spoiler) Spoiler And the hotel sequence involving his fight was one of the best long battle sequences I played in a yakuza game! (with a killer track) I could still hear Kiryu screaming KANDAAAA while kicking the hotel doors down . But yea I can't say much about the story without delving into spoiler territory but it was a decent one. Combat on the other hand was pretty bad at first and very rudimentary. However, once you unlock new moves from various ways in the game, the combat became fun. It did give me a bad first impression though.. Now the meat of the game lies in its substories and minigames! Substories: There were 119 substories! Some can be completed in a few minutes while some other were a little more involved. Most of them involve people not learning their lesson and trying to scam Kiryu which is hilarious because of 1) how absurd/creative they can get and 2) when they receive a nice beatdown from Kiryu at the end lol. There were some others that were different such as solving a mini crime, dating hostesses or playing minigames with people. Overall, the substories were quite an improvement over Kiwami 1 and are on par with Kiwami 2. Minigames: Oooooh boy. There were lots and prepare to git gud! Most were fun with a few exceptions. - Darts. I liked it. Expert difficulty gave me a little bit of trouble but then I learnt how to hit triple 20 with a ~90% success rate. - Bowling. Pretty easy and fun once you learn how to hit a strike. I even made a short video if you plan on tackling this in the future. Spoiler - Karoake. There's not much to say other than the fact that this should be in every Yakuza game! - Golf. Hated it at first but then I learnt the tricks involved and the minigame grew on me. - Fishing. Pretty simple one, not much to say. - Poker, Roulette and Blackjack. Nothing challenging here as with real life, it's gambling and it comes down to luck. There are also a bunch of cheat items from coin lockers you can get to make your life easier. - Shogi. My one true nemesis.. I watched a video guide because I can't for the life of me learn to play it legit.. - Mahjong. Learnt how to play mahjong from Yakuza 0 and now it's one of my favourite minigames in the series. Was one of the first things I completed. - Cee Lo, Cho-Han, Koi Koi and Oichu Kabu. More gambling minigames. I spent a whole day trying to finish these. I lost about 500K trying to get the requirements. They were a pain but eh.. what's 500k when you have 16M . - Batting. One of the hardcore minigames. Extra hard was just insane if you didn't cheat. They take away your reticle/cursor so how TF how are you supposed to aim??! Well I grabbed a small piece of black electrical tape and loosely put it on the TV/spot where the reticle was and that was it. I made my makeshift reticle hahaha. - UFO Catcher. Dont like those in real life and neither in digital format :/. - Coliseum. Beating the crap out of people is always fun especially if you're the dragon of dojima. - Massage. What a weird one this is (and the substory that unlocks is even weirder!). We need more absurd minigames like this. Basically a hot girl starts giving you a massage and you have to control a meter from reaching either extremes of the rectangle (Trying not to get distracted with what's going on the screen). One extreme is for being so tense that you fail, and another for being too relaxed that you fall asleep (and fail the minigame). - Hostess Maker. Liked it at first but then the formula kind of got repetitive near the end. The track that plays was killer though which i'll share below! - Boxcelios. A minigame you play at the arcade. It was alright. - Hostess Dating. I am extremely conflicted with this. One the one hand, it made for some memorable memes/screenshots for me to use, on the other hand it's sooooo monotonous. There are 10 girls you have to date and you have to fill their hearts to the max to unlock their substories which takes forever.You also have to spend a shit ton of money on them especially in the premium clubs. I'll admit, I started consulting a guide later on because I wanted to speed this up. - Pool. Ahh yess.. THE Hardest flipping minigame in Yakuza 3 and arguably top 3 hardest minigame I played. I dont need to say more other than that you reaaaaaally have to git gud.. At least the bar where you play pool had a solid track which kept me sane enough to complete this. Finally, you know it wouldn't be a Yakuza plat post of mine without sharing my favourite OSTs and there were lotssss! Most of them gave me an early 2000s vibe which was probably because of the tools they had at that time to create those pieces. Grab a pair of headphones and enjoy! (And no spoilers are involved. Just don't read youtube comments!) Spoiler Plays in the final boss fight. Was a pretty badass moment! This one plays from fighting street thugs in Ryukyu. Despite being a troll song, it's actually surprisingly good Ahh yes Komaki training where you learn to tiger drop your enemies :P. When 0:44 hits, it always gives me goosebumps. This one plays when you are receiving weapons training. It's so freaking dope. It reminds me of old east asian action flicks. This one plays when you're fighting the targets you have to go after for the HLA (honest living association lol). This one screams badass at you. It plays when you fight Amon. The intro sounds a lot like Barracuda. My second favourite track! Plays when you're fighting a certain Yakuza family (it's a spoiler so I wont say). My absolute favourite of all the other tracks! Plays when you're going after KANNDDAAAAA! Plays in the long battle sequence leading up to the final fight. Pretty dope. Plays in many different boss fights one of which is against a character who actually also voices Heihachi Mishima from tekken! It's not really a spoiler as he also appears in the opening cinematic of the game, but it's against Lau Ka Long. You'd recognize his theme at 1:40 if you played yakuza 1 which is my favourite part. This one plays at a strip club against a boss lol. Nonetheless, there was a lot of emotional weight carried in that boss fight. Plays in the hostess maker minigame when you're putting makeup, earrings, matching necklaces and jewelry on a girl:P, don't judge me! Plays at the bar where you can play pool, darts and have a few drinks. Fits the mood perfectly when playing those minigames. Also, the person singing sounds like they're either saying "yoghurt, yoghurt, yoghurt, yoghurt!" ORR "Straw-berry, Straw-berry, Straw-berry, Straw-berry!" Plays at a bar called Bantam hence the title. It's pretty chill. Plays at a bar called Shellac. Another track you can just chill to. LMFAO despite a track that plays at a strip club, this actually sounds dope. And finally, this one plays at the hostess maker minigame where you are giving lessons to a hostess to increase her stats. Another chill track And that's it! I had an awesome time with this game. I'm going to play something short (probably south park) and then I'll be jumping back to Yakuza 4 to continue Kiryu's story . 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KevlarPrime Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 #51: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Master of the Secret Arts Enjoyment: 9 Difficulty: 8 It took me 200+ hours of game time mainly due to the Ultimate Ninja trials, but I'm grateful to get it out of the way. UN01 was a pain and a half on it's own with connection issues due to lag. Came close a few times where I almost broke my DS3 controller out of frustration. Thankfully, my persistence paid off. Now it's time to wait for Ninja Gaiden 4 - that is if we ever get it. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlackSnake1435 Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 Platinum #40 Red Dead Redemption (ps3) Enjoy: 10/10 Difficulty: 7/10 Since I got my ps4 from a friend, this was one of those games I definetely wanted to try, and now that I did it I must say that I regret I missed such a great game at is time. I spent hours of fun playing it and looking for its platinum, despite of some bugs and the current state of the online servers of the game (which gave me a headache while trying to get some online trophies). The story was great, amazing playability and specially a ending that I definetely would have never expected and that I don't want to spoil for all of you. I must say I actually enjoyed this one more than GTA, because it takes you to the old west America and offers the possibility of literaly going from the USA to Mexico and explore as much as you want to platin the game. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yellowwindow7 Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 Platinum Trophy / Bioshock Rmastered now that i finally played this game i gotta say i really enjoyed it, made m feel bad on why the hell did i skip it on the ps3. i think its something to do with me and my brother who grew tired of FPS with bronze and gray graphics especially in the whole last gen era of the ps3 and 360 days which were full of FPS games. gotta make things right and go buy, play and plat the ps3 version.. it will gonna be so painful to play the old ps3 version after experience it first on the ps4 running at 60FPS with i believe fast load times but i'll do it. though this remaster is really unstable.. the game have a bad habit of crashing if you brought the ps4 home menu while the game is running in the background as the game will completely froze while other stuff on the ps4 run fine. also not a big problem and i don't know since i never played the original last gen version but i hate the way you listen to the audio records where the same button you pick them up with is the same one you use to listen to them on the go by holding the button down and it's a bit frustrated me that once i pick them up the game told me to hold the X button to listen to them and when i do instead the character will go pick up nearby stuff or interact with things in the environment, i had to look up or down away from any thing then hold X to listen to them. will works on the rest of the DLC trophies to 100% it but in the time being i'm working on Bioshock 2, i heard Bioshock is more difficult than the second and Infinite and i don't know i found the first game is too normal for my skill but it was true that th final boss is very annoying especially on the higher difficulty as you could easily runs out of ammunition while fighting him on his second or third phase. well off to Bioshock 2 and remember to stay in home and wash your hands and face! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Darghel Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) #64 Platinum Trophy (Bioshock 2) Difficulty: Easier than the first, but annoying at times. Time to complete: About 2 days, I guess 20 hours. It's a little shorter than Bioshock 1 Recommended? Yes! The QoL alone makes it so much better! Unlike Bioshock 1 and Bioshock Infinite, this is the only game I didn't replay twice but that's because I never bought the second when it came out, hearing it was bad or something...then I forgot review magazines can be trash and essentially bashed the game for "not being Bioshock enough". Well let me just say that while this game doesn't have a story like the original the gameplay is SUPERB and the changes made the game so much enjoyable that it reminds me of Serious Sam 2, great game but "eeew don't touch it it's gross". Crap where to start, you can FINALLY dual-wield your weapon AND plasmids and they work independently, meaning that you can reload your weapon and shoot a plasmid and vice versa! This also means you can combo your plasmids and weapons and later on you can get some nice tonics that can literally give you builds! Most tonics are back, some are reworked, some were removed, but overall there's a lot more choice! Gone are the tonic types: you can put 30 tonic of any type in any way you want and they made some incredibly useful tonics too, like healing on water, repairing your turrets (YES!) healing and Eve restoration from healing points, better drill damage and so many more. There's a lot of experimentation you can do and they can all work! Also gone the old camera and now you can get research points by actually attacking...granted it's a bit clunky and should've been automatic but it's really useful and much faster too! On top of that they give some very useful boosts like a bigger wallet (and this time 3 digits!) more EVE, more ammo to carry and etc. The last level is always a plasmid but they're hit or miss. And hacking, OH MY GOD the hacking it's sooooo much better and faster now! Gone is that annoying tube minigame and now you have a small, quick minigame about pressing on the right spot and if you happen to land on the Blue you get bonuses! The only downside is that the game isn't paused so you have to do it in real-time BUT you can run and do the hacking while you jump around. And what's most important to mention is that this game is a lot easier than Bioshock 1...but I will say that I found some difficulty spikes where it shouldn't happen: in Siren Alley it was very common to get a Brute out of nowhere, especially during a big daddy fight, and it was much harder to lure them into turrets since they seem to be much rare now. You can make turrets now but they're timed and being on Hard they can run out very fast. Also the game CRASHED very often and I don't know why (I have a ps4 pro btw) Overall, great and fun game, criminally underrated if you ask me. This version has no multiplayer and thank God for that because I hate doing online trophies with a passion! I don't want to do like I did with Paladins! Now go on and have fun, very easy to plat too (hard mode isn't like survivor from Bioshock 1 and if you're fine restarting you can use vita chambers too) and still a fun game. totally worth it! PS: Protector's Trial DLC is okay, very repetitive though, but Minerva's Den Is worth it! Edited March 22, 2020 by Darghel 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NorbR338055 Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 #42 - Return of the Obra Dinn Difficulty: 2/10 Enjoyment: 7/10 Another very good game but with an experience tarnished by a stupid trophy. I never understand why game developers choose to include trophies for playing the game in ways that are completely against the very spirit of the game. In this case I'm talking of course of the Captain Did It trophy, which forced me to go though an entire playthrough of the game and make wrong guesses all the way. Sorry, first not solve anything, then make wrong guesses. It makes the game feel like a chore after that playthrough, even though I genuinely enjoyed it the first time around. Shame, really. Other than that, this is really a game like no other, and everyone should give it a try. The atmosphere is so unique, the graphics are awesome, and the story keeps taking twists and turns that I did not expect and genuinely enjoyed. The mechanism of confirming fates only with 3 correct guesses is great. It leaves room for a little guesswork but you can't rely entirely on it. Works really well. Guessing all 60 fates is actually really hard. I had 48 correct guesses by the end of my first run, got a few more by just guessing but had to resort to a guide for the last few. And for many of them, even with the solution I really don't see how I could have solved their fates without guessing. I probably missed a few clues along the way. Anyway, my annoyance with that one trophy notwithstanding, this is really a very good game and a great experience. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you ready to go? difficulty 2 story 9 Due to the quarantine, I decided to go back to ps3 and try to platinum this game. The story is good but the controls and graphics are terrible. Completed it more than five years later lol. ps. Do NOT press start to get out of the car faster during rainy days. Your game might glitch and leave you with a black screen. This becomes an major inconvenience when you replay chapters with multiple side missions done. You are going to have to start again if this happens. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post voodoo_eyes Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 #434 - The Witness Not really my type of game, and I really didn't like some of the design decisions they made. The final challenge turned out less difficult than I expected it to be. That's not to say it wasn't difficult, because it was to some extent. It's about working out what works best for you in order to solve the puzzles. For example, I've seen a lot of people say they're having problems with the Tetris puzzles. So did I at first, until I stopped looking at them as individual tetris blocks and combined them mentally into one shape. From then on most of them were very easy (just keep in mind they both need to be inside the seperation lines then).

Popular Post Dauersack Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 Horizon Chase Turbo #45: Super Super Trophy Horizon Chase Turbo is a car game that puts you on rails and throws some ridiculous speed at you. It is a tribute to some of the long dead retro "racing" games, and despite building itself on a dead genre and therefore depending fully on questionable mechanics like strong rubberbanding, which was the only way to create a challenge in the old days of railroad racing games, it is still quite fun to play. The speed in this game is something I haven't seen since the ancient days of Extreme G and it is a big reason to why it is so much fun, the soundtrack is great and the retro visuals fit in nicely. The games gives you dozens of different cars to use, though some are clearly much better than others, but there are some interesting choices that actually feel different when you use them. The upgrade system means you will not instantly be overwhelmed and slowly approach the games ridiculous endgame speed by upgrading your cars further as you progress through the game. The tracks are a bit hit and miss, with some being awesome while others feel a bit shitty, especially in tournaments (looking at you, Playpen). Different game modes do not add all that much to be honest, basically just forcing you to replay the 109 tracks you already completed once during the world tour several times over, including an ironman/endurance mode that wants you to complete them all in a row and it will kill your progress if you perform too badly in a single race, getting this trophy took most of that day. While the platinum was not that difficult aside from a few tracks and master tournament, it was considerably longer and more repetetive than it needed to be, but overall I enjoyed my time with this game. I wanted this game to be the first racing game I played in many years, though I find it hard to call this an actual racing game, so I guess I will not cross that off of my to do list quite yet. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zircon_Lotus Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 Platinum #85 Killer is Dead Even though I was pretty excited when I saw the trailer for this game, at the time it was launched, I was too focused on other things and couldnt get into it. Time passed, and just now, almost 6 years later, I got to play and finish this game. Before i started last week, I caught myself asking: what is the problem with this game, since I never saw anyone talking about this? In this game we play as Mondo Zappa, a very cool looking gigolo assassin. The target for each mission is stranger than the other, but Mondo agrees to kill them nevertheless. The story is not straightforward and is very unique, something that goes in line with its creator tendencies. The gameplay is repetitive. The higher your combo, the faster you attack, and more damage you cause. In this state your attacks generate more BLOOD, a second gauge that allow you to do two things: you can hold R1 + square to kill almost any enemy instantly, which is called Adrenaline Rush. Or you can hold L2 and heal yourself. At first you will not heal much, but when you upgrade the healing skill, you will spend very little blood and regenerate almost all your HEALTH. And that is it. You also have access to sub-weapons, that have better effects if you spend BLOOD, but can be used without it. With triangle you can break enemies guard, and use O to dodge or guard with your sword. The problem is, there is no variation in the way you play. In normal you can just attack almost every enemy without repercussion, dodging here and there. In hard and very hard some enemies will defend more, so you have to mix guard breaks with dodges and your katana swings, but there is no challenge. Even if you end up eating some hits, you will regen so much HEALTH spending so little BLOOD that it doesnt really matter. The only challenge this game provided were the final chapters on very hard without using the costumes, because some enemies take too long to die, and when they hit you, they hit very hard. But you can revive up to 10 times (provided you buy the tickets), so you dont have to worry. Getting AAA on the story missions is extremely easy. Maybe you can get after a few retries without using the costumes, but for this I used them, and the 12 story missions were very, very easy. The sub-missions shouldnt pose problems. Aside from the motorcycle one, maybe you will need a few retries, but nothing more than 30 minutes on some. The Scarlett challenges were easy too. Aside from the Combo Challenge 3, you will complete most, along with the AAA rank, on first try, if using the costumes. Some of the challenges can be very hard without them, specially the Dark Booster. The other trophies are miscellaneous and you will get them as you play. The money trophy and trophies related to the beauties were very boring, because you have to grind for a few hours each. After getting the platinum, I understood why this game is so forgotten. Even though Mondo is a very cool character, and the story has some charm and humour, it lacks on many areas. the combat system is subpar compared to other games of the time. They use very strong shadows on this game, but it makes the game look too blurry, and some things looks unfinished. There is no challenge in clearing the game, even on very hard, even without costumes, and the gigolo missions get boring very fast. And if this was not enough, my game froze many times, and in one of those I had to restart the console (digital version). Sometimes you will Adrenaline Rush an enemy and it will not die, and in some instances enemies were stuck in some places. The boss from mission 11 was stuck on a rock when I fought it on hard, and during the motorcycle submission, that is unnecessary hard because of the bugs, one time I got stuck in an obstacle and had to restart the mission. If the game was more polished, and had been released at a better time, since it came out almost at the end of the PS3 cicle, this game could have been better and more memorable. The potential was wasted, which is a shame, since I really looked forward to it. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blu3st4rdust305 Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions - PS4 (#350) Milestone! "Platinum" It is such a shame the black background is not part of the images... it would go so well with the theme of the game. From pretty early on, I knew I wanted to make this a milestone platinum. It is likely the most challenging/rewarding platinum I have earned, even if its not my rarest platinum. This game is a masterpiece of a twin stick shooter. Super accessible for anyone to pick up and revel in its bright neon enemies with an epic hypnotic soundtrack. Brutally difficult in its goals and leaderboard-fueled push for excellence. The various game modes force you to think differently about how to approach meeting the score goal set by each level. My road to this platinum was long, punctuated by breakthroughs in getting thru the main campaign, and then attempting to earn all of the stars for each level. Some days were not very successful, while others granted a zen-like one-ness with the game. Level 49's 3 star requirement was particularly elusive. Getting to the 150,000,000 score was transcendent. You know, those moments you are hardly physically moving, but are still breaking a sweat. You think you almost forgot to take a breath for the last couple of minutes, followed by the joy of that trophy popping. The Beat Phil trophy was also quite challenging. Besides the regular challenges posed by this game, it also has a few local co-op trophies. A couple of friends helped get thru the short co-op campaign, but the scores were too difficult for us. The frantic nature of the multiplayer makes it so that every life lost is devastating to the score goal. Unlike single player, where you keep your multiplier when you die and the modes are mostly life-limited. Multiplayer adds the running multipliers of all participants, but their contributions re-start at 1 when they die. With my friends, I made it 27 out of the 30 stars needed for the trophy. It took a little help from PSNP to help me get the last 3 remaining stars. Thanks so much, @caastmaaster_89 What.a.rush! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VoxAnimi Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Platinum 36- Transistor Plat() Difficulty: 4.5/10 Enjoyment: 10/10 Transistor is one of those games you may recall being offered on PS+ during the PS4's earlier years. While I did prolong playing this title for a while due to various circumstances, I am pleased that I now consider it to be among the most memorable and worthwhile titles I've experienced on the PS4 and in general. It's an isometric action RPG that allows you to be versatile with your build by acquiring upgrades known as functions. You can either allot them to the primary function (Using it as a main power), upgrade (Enhances the aforementioned primary one), or the passive one in which it has less of a direct impact towards gameplay, but it still is useful. Either way, I found the gameplay to be one of the best aspects of Transistor since it is rather engaging and I am fond of how it seamlessly combines real time and turn based combat. The game also retains its enjoyment even after you level up and find an OP build as I was delighted to obliterate enemies at a rapid pace. The aforementioned build if anyone is curious: 1. Void as a main ability with tap and purge as upgrades, 2. Cull as a main ability with load as an upgrade, 3. Mask, and 4. Mask again to use while the 3rd option was cooling down from usage. I also used crash, jaunt, get, and breach as passive upgrades. The story and lore were also commendable as I found myself captivated by the events of the plot, and I also liked how a pivotal character served as the narrator, which contributed to my enjoyment. In fact, the backstories of characters are also expanded upon by using the functions in the 3 various ways, which I was pleased as I was genuinely curious about their histories. The ending also made me emotional since it invoked quite a few feelings from myself, although I will refrain from mentioning it as so to avoid spoilers. Lastly, I must also note the phenomenal art style. It isn't often where I encounter one that is visually appealing to the eye while retaining a distinctive style that lingers in my memory. Therefore, I found myself taking screenshots various times, both during story-related scenes and gameplay portions. Overall, I was thoroughly immersed in the game for the duration it lasted, which is something that I can't say occurs often. The trophy list itself is remarkable in the sense that it manages to provide a fulfilling experience that isn't devoid of enjoyment. It combines a fair amount of challenge with the inclusion of the challenges, and I won't deny that some of the performance and speed tests were daunting initially. However, with perseverance and following some decent video strategies/Steam guides, I was able to emerge as triumphant against them. Most of the progress comes naturally as you have to do 2 playthroughs anyway, so trophies such as the leveling up ones or combining functions were not tedious at all. Additionally, even the trophy where you had to enable all 10 limiters did not pose much of a challenge, although I did appreciate how it made me ponder over what tactics to use. This is my idea of an ideal trophy list as it is simultaneously enjoyable and compelling enough to pursue its requirements. The trophy art was also rather appealing, so that enhanced my appreciation of it. I personally would recommend this game as it does have a broad appeal, so I think many can find enjoyment regardless of their preferences. Anyway, with the completion of this title, I have now officially finished all 3 of Supergiant Games' endeavors on the PlayStation, so I must patiently anticipate for Hades to be released on it. I'm currently working on Forma 8, so that should be another fast completion. Edited March 23, 2020 by VoxAnimi 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Draps-1337 Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 #41 Dreamfall Chapters A very hit and miss narrative game. Considering the small dev team. The shear scale of this game blows me away. A pretty straight forward plat. requires 1 and 3/4 playthroughs. But the part that really slows you down is the really long loading screens. constantly. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post snakebit10 Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 #301 Terminator: Resistance I actually enjoyed it. Haven't seen a Terminator movie in a very long time. The game play was good and only had a few parts were I failed some. The stealth wasn't very good. Seem you got detected pretty easily. Maybe it would of been different if I leveled up the stealth skill. Overall if you like shooters and Terminator. Give it go. Especially if you find it cheap. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Justin__Harris Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 Platinum #75: God of War (PS4) Game Score: 9/10 Platinum Difficulty: 3/10 I took my time on getting this platinum for placement, and I just didn't really enjoy the post-game grind to be honest. Took me forever to decide to upgrade, and when I finally did, it made the Queen Valkyrie quite easy, only taking me a few attempts. This game is very good, but I'll be honest when I say that after being at the edge of my seat during the game and finishing it on my birthday last December, I just wasn't really that committed to coming back to it. After the fantastic end to the game and reveal about Atreus's lineage, I honestly just didn't care much more for after. I don't think I'm going to do a New Game+ until perhaps when they announce God of War's follow-up for the PS5. This game is great, and I'm bummed that I just got burnt out on it. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daltero-Hitch Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 #10 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Remastered Love this series so much and managing to grab this Plat made me very happy! It's not difficult, but when you're doing the run on Crushing difficulty just know that you'll probably die a bunch of times so don't let it knock you. Use it to learn the enemies movements and what to do differently next time (just wish me luck when I eventually do a Brutal run in the push for 100% ?) Other than that, it's mostly just grinding for weapon kills and collectables, etc, with some speedruns (which I hate). If you're currently going for this Plat then all the best of luck to you ? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Eramir Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) It's been a while since I posted here. So here a complete update on my achieved platinum trophies: Platinum #73: Control Difficulty: 4/10 Enjoyment: 7/10 It took me a while to really get into this game. I didn't know what to expect, but certaintly didn't expect this. It started vague and quite hard as well. I needed to get used to the battle system. After the initial period, I really enjoyed myself. Some bosses were hard though! Didn't expect that when I saw the trophy rarity. All in all, I would recommend this game! Platinum #74: The Walking Dead: The Final Season Disc Difficulty: 2/10 Enjoyment: 8/10 The last time with Clementine and it was good, really enjoyed it. There were some thing I found lacking, but not enough to write here about. Trophywise it isn't too hard, followed the guide and sometimes a video. If you have played the previous three, go play this one! Platinum #75: The Last of Us (PS3) Difficulty: 6/10 Enjoyment: 9/10 I played this game when it came out and it was something special. When the server announcement came,I quickly did some boosting in August, because I Always thought I might want the platinum. Then came the milestone #75. I wanted something special for that and it became this game. Alot have been said about it. All I want to say is that it's weird that there is no text based guide for everything, including supplements and parts. I had three guides open not to miss anything and I still missed one conversation. I got it when playing on survivor +. Turned out I missed the Grounded DLC, so I can never get it to 100%. That's too bad. I love this game, but going for the plat is something else, I'm glad I already completed it once without a guide and had the experience of the game as how it should be. Platinum #76: Sims 4 Difficulty: 1/10 Enjoyment: 5/10 Got this one quickly by using the guide. It's quite the framedrop and loading fest. Happy to have done it, uninstalled it and will never play it again. Next up: Uncharted 4 probably. Just started it again last weekend and I'm hooked. Trophy hunting is fun this way ?
