Platinum #10 (mini milestone!)

 

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

80 hours 

 

Finally got around to doing this game and loved it! Don’t know why people hated this game. Definitely was a grind in some aspects but I love this time period and had a great time. 
 

Now to tackle all of the DLC and get that 100% completion.

Platinum #117

Difficulty: 5/10

Enjoyment: 5/10

Honestly a little pain in my ass. Thought it'd be easy but was annoying after the first couple levels. So many weird difficulty spikes and the game doesn't help you due to the camera being impossible at times to control, the combat/shield stuff is basically just you and the enemies wailing on each other seeing who dies faster and it's almost always you. It has that lazy difficulty games pull out like when you're walking a narrow ledge and it has enemies fly by and knock you down. Once you unlock the OP weapons you go from quite under-powered to very over-powered with no in-between. They could've added checkpoints since if you die at a boss at the end of a level you start from the very beginning of that level and lose all progress. Putting the lost souls to rest wouldn't have been nearly as annoying if you could've just done that part of the level and then left, but if you quit out it cancels your actions. The auto-aim is finicky since you can't be too close or too far or too to the left or right, you have to be in the sweet spot for the game to hit the enemies. 

 

Saying all that, it wasn't completely joyless. The game's graphics aren't great but you can't fully hate a cartoon art-style. The first couple levels are really fun since they're easy, as well as a few of the levels are actually pretty interesting to play through such as the clock level, the Mausoleum, scarecrow fields, and the ghost ship. Also it's cool that once you 100% the game you can

I’ve finally got the plat in the Spyro trilogy! This one was definitely my least favourite of the three and I’m really glad that you didn’t need to 100% it. Thankfully I only had one trophy glitch on me (Man the canons, man) and I was able to get it on my fifth try after redownloading my save and restarting the console/game. The absolute worst part of the game though was that mini boss in Fireworks Factory (red and blue dragons that have health regen) which probably took me far too long to finally bring down. 
 

These games have been sitting in my backlog for a while so I’m glad to have them knocked out ?

#137 and 100% Days Gone

 

Days gone is an open world survival game where you play as a short-tempered guy called Deacon St. John. There was a virus that was released that caused people to turn into freaks (zombies basically) within a matter of days and your job is to survive/find your wife after you got separated from her in the beginning of the game.

 

In my opinion, Days Gone was a fun experience but it played everything by the book without any major surprises or introducing unique mechanics that's exclusive to the game (except for hordes which were the highlight for me and more on that below). Story was pretty decent and I liked the few subplots involving cults, finding your wife, finding the origin of the virus, character interactions and revenge elements. Made the game more interesting. I also loved Deacon's Mocap. A few times in the games I was really surprised by how well the facial expressions/dialogues were naturally flowing in the game.

 

Some of the highlights for me were these:

 

 - Abandoned Towns were fun to explore/ trying to find new resources while avoiding freakers and human enemies.

 - Your bike was highly customizable with a plethora of custom skins and decals to choose from. 

 - Loved the aspect of conserving fuel by giving the bike some added weight to it which means you can coast downhill without spending fuel and revving the engine.

 - There were a couple of memorable side characters like Taylor (a drug junkie), Rikki , Iron Mike, Skizzo, and Boozer

 - Nice weapon variety for you to dispose of hordes and human enemies (although it takes a while for you to unlock everything)

 - The ripper cult are freaking insane and I loved the subplot involving them

 - The secret ending made me go WTFFFFF ( so did Deacon at the same time ). There's a definitely going to be a sequel!

 - Hordes! Hordes were the highlight for me. Loved planning my routes and planting traps to take them out. First time I went from running away like a scared headless chicken to later on hunting them Rambo style.

 - I loved the random bits of dialogues that Deacon has while exploring. It made a huge difference when exploring the world when Deacon starts talking to himself . Added a lot of depth to his character and even though he kind of sounds like a psychopath but what can you do after what happened in the world! Here's a montage! (not a spoiler)

Spoiler

 

 - Loved the graphics. They were top notch, especially the ground textures and also when it rains. I captured a lot more screenshots but here are my favourites . (no spoilers)

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I actually saw this on trending and I decided to take this one myself

 

 

 

 

 

Some few suggestions/things I didn't like:

 - All of the background information about the leader of the Rippers was provided via dialogue which I wasn't a fan of along with the bossfight at the end which was pathetic imo. :/ (spoilers)

Spoiler

I killed Jessie before he even finished his dialogue.. Yikes!! Also I wish they gave us segments where we ride with Jessie/carlos when he was part of the Mongrels gang and how he later got disbanded and his tattoo got burnt off. Would've made him a much more compelling villain

 - Bike management early on in the game sucked! Your bike ran out of fuel after riding it for like 2 mins and it broke down as soon as it touches a feather

 - The first 10-15 hours were kind of okay to meh but once the third area opened up the game got substantially better. It just took a while and I can see people losing interest there.

 - More of a suggestion but (spoilers)

Spoiler

I wish they gave us the option of choosing between Sarah or Rikki after finding out that Sarah was actually alive! Would've made of an interesting sub-plot after romancing Rikki and then having to choose between Sarah and Rikki.

 

 

Trophy-wise, base game is pretty easy. Didn't even use a guide. Challenges on the other hand were... challenging.. Early on, they're brutal imo. It's almost impossible to get gold on any until you start getting bronzes and silvers in each challenge to unlock patches. There were a few relatively easy ones and a few others which were programmed by Satan . Definitely not a 8/10 difficulty though but it was still difficult imo. 

Aaand that's it. Onto the next game

#451- Sea of Solitude

All Done
You have collected all of the other trophies.

 

This might have made a nice Plus game, at one point in time. Kinda similar to things like Rime or Journey. Though it is pretty dark. I went into it thinking it was going to be like those, and was pretty quickly surprised when some freaky looking monster showed up not two minutes in, and said "shit." Lol. The monsters really do look creepy, too. Game calls one a whale, and I think my name is better: scary fish monster thing.

 

You pretty much just explore, and solve simple puzzles. If ever you don't know where to go, pressing fires a projectile that shows you the way. The monsters can kill you, so it's not as relaxing as Journey. That whale swims very fast, and you need to time swimming to the next safe thing to stand on a lot. Or it will toss you up in the air, and chomp you to bits. 

 

As I said in my status update, the main theme seems to be dealing with issues of loneliness. I found this interview with the creator an interesting read: link. But this was a pretty neat game. Worth playing and is on EA Access if you have it, or subscribe for a month.

#452- Madden NFL 19

Madden NFL 19 Master
Congratulations on earning every Madden NFL 19 trophy!

 

I don't want to talk about it.. I wonder if I set a new record for myself with cussing on Discord yesterday. Lol. Such a pain in the ass. To quote myself from my status update: I had done everything perfectly in the story, and then messed up right at the end. Autosave kicked in, and I had to try and perfect the final game against the Patriots. It wasn't happening. Buncha cheaters. .-. Had to restart, and do it all over again. Chose to watch a movie in pieces during the unskippable cutscenes. And then there's having to win a game with every team.. So boring. ?

 

To elaborate on story mode, you almost can't make a mistake with the one guy. A single penalty on the second to last challenge, made it so I would have to score five touchdowns in a row against those Patriots. And they're hard to score against. Breaking through the line, and sacking you in a millisecond. Interceptions and fumbles can also lead to failure. You need a cushion going into that game, or you're going to have a very rough time. And the other guy is so easy to meet the score requirement with, so it makes no sense. On my replay, I still got to 80 with him, despite never retrying a single challenge, because I didn't need his trophy.

 

20 was a lot easier, and more fun. The only reason I chose to play this one. But 19 has me wondering if I want to play anymore of them. ?

Hardest Trophy:  No Matter What- Survivor- Complete the game on Survivor

 

"I struggled for a long time with surviving, and you—no matter what, you keep finding something to fight for..."

 

Happy 60th platinum milestone to me! Also my rarest trophy to date! I'd been saving this up for a special time, so I figured with the release of the sequel imminent, now was the time to pull the trigger. 

I'd been aware of The Last of Us ever since it came out, even watched a friend play through some of it. It looked gorgeous but horrifying. A true classic of the seventh generation to bow out the era. But as the years went on, more and more people- mostly Xbox fans, funnily enough- were telling me how boring and overhyped and crap it actually was, how it was just a walking simulator and an interactive film. It is none of these things and to even attempt to label it as such is beyond pathetic. Finally getting to play it for myself, I saw how wrong they were.

In actuality, I played through the multiplayer portion, Factions, first in the months leading up to the server closures, only getting onto the story a few months later. I got the online trophies done in plenty of time, but I honestly can't really say it was very enjoyable. There were some things I liked; how you crafted on the fly, assisted teammates and had to be very tactical, not running and gunning. It's certainly more unique than other big multiplayer games around, but since I'm not a big multiplayer guy it didn't appeal much to me; I found I was doing a lot of the same stuff- making gifts over and over to build up resources was my only goal in every match I played. I died a lot and this seemed to piss off some people I was matched with but I couldn't have cared less, I was in it for the trophies and they just had to suck it up. Yes, normally, playing like shit is selfish and a bad move but the servers were closing and I had no interest in whether the matches were won or not- you had 7 years to play it the way you wanted to, something was actually at stake now. Anyway, I completed the last Journey like a month before the servers closed and I never looked back. Sucks for people who enjoyed it on PS3 but the servers are still up on PS4, at least. Not looking forward to going through that again.

Thankfully, the story was a different beast altogether. While not really above and beyond a standard post-apocalyptic setting, it was the character moments that really set the campaign apart. The performances, the script, the subtleties all wove together to make something I was really invested in. It was not a new story, but the storytelling was just masterful, setting a benchmark for narrative in gaming which I'm not sure has been topped yet. The relationship that develops between the jaded Joel and the sparky Ellie was incredible to watch unfold. I felt great synpathy for the cast of supporting characters as well- everyone had clear motivations and struggles and whether things worked out or not for them was amazing to see. Sure, I wanted more (be careful what you wish for, I guess) but I was also very satisfied. The gameplay was also good, controlling similarly to Naughty Dog's other opus Uncharted but focused very much on stealth and resource management. On Survivor difficulty especially this was tense and exciting. The Survivor+ playthrough was a cakewalk since I was fully upgraded more or less, though I didn't get the upgrade trophies until very late in the game- I swear I had literally just enough supplements and parts. 

I know everyone seems pretty bummed about the sequel leaks (I haven't seen anything) and if it is truly bad then it will be a shame, but I'm still hopeful for a game even half as good as this. Very proud to have this platinum, especially since it is bound to be pretty rare forever with the server shutdown.

Aaah, the good one. There's one slightly annoying trophy in the story mode, where you have to throw 24 passes in a row. If you mess one up, you'll have to restart the sequence. But it's still nothing compared to the stupidity of 19. Between this, Sea of Solitude, and A Way Out, I'm pretty pleased with the $5 I spent for a month of EA Access. Not much else on there I want to play, though.

- #182: The Final Season - The Walking Dead: The Final Season

 

After waiting a long time for it to go on sale, it never did since I guess they are focusing more on the collection and I decided to just put $20 out for the Season Pass to see how this story ends. I think it ended off as well as it could, although I think the ending could have been better which I'll just put in a spoiler. But the season as a whole was pretty good and I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed with it. Trophy-wise though I wasn't a fan of having to go back and replay certain segments or doing specific things for collectibles. I also feel like the results of the choices were skewed compared to the previous games since a lot of them were 50/50 for me and I feel like it's because of people going back for those specific trophies. However I'm glad that TellTale got to finish up this game and give closure to the series that kicked off their popularity, so it was nice to experience the journey and all the good and bad moments along the way.

 

Spoiler

As far as the ending goes I really hated how not only did it make it out to where AJ was right all along but he also somehow managed to keep Clementine from turning. What ultimately bothers me about it is that this breaks an established rule where if you get bitten even cutting off a limb won't keep you from turning as shown with Lee in the first season, which should have happened with Clementine considering she looked like Lee at the end of the scene. It's bad writing to just break a rule of the setting like that, but I guess since it was the final season and TellTale going the way they did they just decided to forget about it and have a mostly happy ending anyway. I still think the ending could have been handled a lot better though. Even worse was they just say AJ was right all along even though throughout most of the game I'm correcting him for being a shit child. Even more worse is that in one of the endings, AJ just shoots Tenn at the end at the bridge and Louis rightfully pissed off about it apparently just forgives AJ after that.

 

But with that, there were other things I liked about it. The setting was nice even if there weren't many locations, I did like that Lilly made a return and you can try and reconcile with her, I liked that Clementine was more of the role model this time around, and I liked that at least while she dreams she talks with Lee for advice and consoling. Apart from the ending, it felt like it wrapped up things nicely, or at least in a way that was satisfying enough with what they could work with.

Do not read if you haven't played and beaten the First and Final Season of The Walking Dead.

 

Spoiler

 

It doesn't break an "established" rule, actually. In the very second season and the first episode of it at that, one of the supporting characters (a doctor, too) mentioned how he saved someone from turning by cutting their limb off. I think Telltale brought this topic up again in S3 to remind people who forgot that it's possible to survive a bite, depending on the conditions. Lee was just an unlucky victim and reacted too slowly. His situation isn't even the same as Clementine's. You gotta give the writers more credit . . . the final episode is basically a homage to the final episode of the first season, so they were their most aware of what happened with Lee.

 

Right about what, her being bitten? I don't see how Aj being right about a 50/50 situation is a bad thing. So this means Clementine also being right about Lee getting bitten in S1 is also a bad thing? Aj's fear about Clementine's fate, and being right, doesn't elevate the character in any serious way. If anything, people should be grateful for Aj, since he was too stubborn to outright kill Clementine after she got bitten, with the end result being her living. Either way, wouldn't it be shitty if the character was literally wrong about everything? That's even unrealistic, as there are cases where kids outsmart or correct older beings across varying ages at times. Aj being right about this one thing doesn't negate or contradict his inexperience, lack of wisdom, and character development. 

 

The overall ending is probably the best or second best in the series, easily surpassing S1's at the very least. It has a lot of depth and gives the biggest closure the MC ever had.

Ha, I just completed the same 3 with EA Access.  Agree for $5, well worth it!  I agree on the 24 for 24 passes. Not concerned that it would not happen but took multiple tries as it was very finicky.  I thought Madden 20 and 19 were the same difficulty though, did not experience more issue with one than the other.  One or at most two tricky trophies but pretty smooth sailing.

Getting the 80 score with Devin was such a pain, though. And if you go into the final game with a score of 60, you might as well forget about it. Lol. 5 touchdown drives in a row against those Patriots felt impossible. You also don't have to win a game with every team, so it's much less of a grind. The gameplay also felt better in 20. Possibly the result of going backwards.
