 #56 - The Bard's Tale

"Master Bard"

 

I got this game as part of a $1 indie Humble Bundle, which also included two other games (Grim Fandango, which is the game I wanted, and InnerSpace). Considering I only paid 33-and-one-third cents for this game, it's difficult for me to criticize it too harshly. It's... fine. It's a mostly vanilla experience, certainly nothing spectacular, but it's not awful either. It's meh.

 

This is a remastered PS2-era game, and it definitely looks and plays like a PS2 game. For anybody who played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, this game plays exactly the same way (The Bard's Tale uses the Dark Alliance engine). I also played Dark Alliance back on the PS2, but didn't find it to be very engaging and never finished the game. This game is better, if only slightly; the game's humor and voice acting set it apart. They somehow got Cary Elwes to voice the bard for this game, and some fourth-wall breaking humor keeps the game interesting. A lot of the humor has aged quite poorly, but there are still some funny moments.

 

The game has several built in cheats which can be turned on and off at any time, and they don't negate the trophies. These cheats include invincibility and super-max damage. I turned these cheats on about two-thirds of the way through my playthough because I was ready for the game to be done already.

  Platinum #74  The Long Walk 

 

Sorry I waited so long to play this, loved it. So many great characters, enjoyed each season for different reasons but Season 1 will always be my favorite. Great game!

 #329 - Until Dawn: Rush Of Blood

 

Final treatment

Collect all trophies

 

One of the best PSVR games I've played. Unlike the original game, this one is a rail shooter. And having a Move controller in each hand while blasting through enemies made the experience a lot more satisfying.

Final Fantasy VII: Remake

 

Just shy of 95 hours to platinum. Hardest trophy for me was Ultimate Weapon and it probably took me atleast 50-60 attempts before I did it. Hard wasn't that hard but for sure challenging. Alot replaying of parts that after multiple times was no longer enjoyable. Mini-game trophies I didn't find very difficult but others disagree. Easily lost 5-10 hours due to inefficient game route decisions but that's my fault on second playthrough. First playthrough took 40 hours. I have to the say, the battle system is quite good but after you get used to it and know how to play well. It's all about materia setup and micro managing all your characters. Abuse enemy AI agro with a good materia setup and equipment and you'll win and of course good ATB decision making. High level players don't need or ever will block but I have to say, blocking with certain paired materia is very underrated. Looking forward to the next chapters, 8/10 for me at best.

Platinum #206 ~ Grass Cutter (PS4)

 Grass Cutter Platinum

Good job! Completed all tasks!

 

Honestly not a bad game. It was pretty easy and honestly decently fun, the only bit that was even mildly troubling for more than 30 seconds was the 16th level. I couldn't see that you had to push the box on to the button at the right side to lower the blockades. Probably takes 45m-1hr, mine says 6hrs because I started it then celebrated 4th of July for a while with family then came back and finished it. A little bit of a grind at the end for some miscellaneous trophies, but it should only take about ~10mins. A pretty fun / cute little game if I do say so myself.

I love RPGs. I like good stories, and memorable playthroughs. I can’t stress out how much I enjoyed this game and surely I’ll be still playing it further than the Platinum. Absolutely gorgeous, this game blew my mind.

#141 and 100% Darksiders 3

 

 

Definitely an underappreciated game but full disclaimer, I don't know what the state of the game was prior to the patches that were added. As of the current patch, you can play in classic mode (regular darksiders hack and slash) as opposed to default mode (dark soulsy) and they added a bunch of quality of life features that makes it much more fun and user friendly such as having the ability to buy crafting materials using souls which also have been reduced in price since release. 

 

You play as Fury, a horseman Err.. Horsewoman, who wants to restore the balance of the universe by defeating the 7 sins which in turn will also grant you the possibility of ruling over the other horesemen as a reward by the Charred Council. Time-wise, this takes place in conjunction with the other games but playing the previous games is not a must.

 

Story-wise, it's not bad. I didn't expect an Oscar-winning tale so that's not what I came for. I came for the gameplay and oh boy did it deliver. I loved the visuals, the distinct art style and the level design, especially with how cleverly they connected the different areas together and they werent just separate maps despite being so distinct. 

 

Combat was fun, but it gets a little bit button mashy. You get 4 different hollows or essentially different elements to help you overcome puzzles and unlock new areas which have their own gimmicks that forces you to use them. If you played the previous games, you'll know what Im talking about. However, speaking of puzzles, this time they were pretty light and there weren't that many. The emphasis was on the combat and just exploring in general which the game has lots of in the form of hidden areas which felt satisfying/rewarding finding on your own to get some nice loot. It's an addictive gameplay loop.

 

My only complaint would be the DLC and if you were to look up the definition of meh in the dictionary, that's what you'll probably see.  I felt that the crucible (facing 100 waves of enemies) was just there for you to make your life easier by having an avenue to earn the rare materials that you may have missed. The Void DLC was much better but again, it felt like they didnt have a lot of budget making this DLC because it takes place in one area that all looks too samey. The extra puzzles and platforming was nice though. 

 

Overall, I really liked the game and would definitely recommend it, especially to fans of the previous games. With that said, Im taking a trip back to memory lane so Metal Slug Anthology is next!

#65 Assassin's Creed Origins plat and 100 percent. Its a fun game but by the end i was skipping cutscenes on the dlc just to finish the 100% and move on to something else.

 #66- GOD OF WAR III REMASTERED (PS4)

 

 King of the Hill  

 

Enjoyment: 9/10

Difficulty: 3/10

Time Taken: 1 day, 16 hours, 59 minutes (<20 hours in-game)

Rarity: 1.7% Ultra Rare (PSN) / 15.95% Rare (PSNProfiles)

Hardest Trophy:  Unhuman- Beat Titan Mode

 

"Hope is what makes us strong! It is why we are here! It is what we fight with when all else is lost..."

 

It was only a matter of time before I got around to the remastered version of this game on PS4. Having enjoyed the game on PS3 last year (which was only the first time I had ever played it) but being a little less impressed by Ascension, I wondered if franchise fatigue had set in. However, I realise now that my issues with Ascension and how it related to the rest of the series were purely to do with the game itself, because God of War III Remastered is frigging amazing.

I won't go too mu.ch into detail here since I'm sure most people are familiar with the game by now, but this truly is the definitive edition of the game. Everything looks beautiful (as it did on PS3) but now at 1080p and 60fps (gameplay and some in-engine cutscenes) it looks even more gorgeous, really holding its own against some games released in the early to mid-life of this generation. It plays and controls wonderfully, feeling as if Kratos reads my mind before I take any action. The fluid and visceral combat the series is known for is at its peak here, and the thrilling conclusion of the Greek saga makes it a truly memorable epic. The Challenges weren't as difficult this time around and I flew through the game on Titan mode as it really isn't that difficult so long as you know when to block, roll and strike effectively, as well as knowing where all the upgrades are and powering up your blades as soon as possible to unleash devastating attacks. So much fun!

So now I am finished with the "classic" God of War lineup. It truly has been a stellar series and I cannot wait to move on to the 2018 GOTY, which from what I have seen is a masterpiece. Very excited to get stuck into it this week!

#312: Neptune's Spatula

 

*sigh* My brain is all over the place, so let me get it all off my chest right now.

 

I LOVE this game. It's just as much fun now as it was then. Yes, it's shown it's age at certain parts, some enemies seem easier while others seem more annoying, they reused audio clips and instead of re-dubbing (like with Clancy Brown), and the game is WAY too bright in a lot of areas, but it's still was a blast to play. The platforming, the level designs, the art direction, all the Easter eggs, the fact that the bosses are epic and all 3 characters are fun to play as. This game to me, while not perfect, has most definitely stood the test of time, so much so that I DO hope they go the crazy route and do a Spongebob Movie: Rehydrated.

 

BUT...... this is only half the game I was expecting, only half the game I was so excited for that I actually preordered! What happened here? Where is all that cut content that was promised? More playable characters? The Robo-Squidward and Musclebob boss fights? Patrick's candy dream level? The alternate Tiki designs? Did the devs really just throw (and I mean throw) it all into a tacked on multiplayer, seriously?!

 

I was hoping for something akin to KH2: Final Mix Where new and altered content was woven almost seamlessly into the main campaign, be they new additions to the story, or side content. Sure, you can make the argument that they didn't want to disrupt the original experience, but I know for a fact that the reason this game had so much hype around it was because we were expecting them to do EXACTLY THAT. I also know, It's my fault for getting my hopes up. We're still dealing with THQ and Nickelodeon here, both of whom I would not be surprised negatively tainted this game.

Platinum # 57 - Persona 5 Royal

 

 

Difficulty - 3/10 

Enjoyment - 10/10

 

I absolutely loved this game. The story, the voice acting, the exploration, the time between story related missions, everything was perfect. One of my favorite games of all time.  I loved the trophy list because it really didn’t force you to go to far out of your way from the main story. Just a few side missions or activities and then the rest was just left up to you. 
 

I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Masterpiece of a game!

Now this is the exact opposite of The Escapists. A game where gameplay videos are deceiving. Undoubtedly the worst game i've played lately and the only reason i didn't drop it after 2 hours was the trophies i've already earned and synced. It's VERY repetitive and even more boring.

I decided to play Sly since i wanted something easy and relaxing.That wasn't the case though with Thieves in Time as the game has more collectibles than it should. Also i had some troubles with the arcade games and vita controls, i think with sixaxis on ps3 they could be easier.

Platinum No. 174!

 

Megadimension Neptunia VIIR

Trophies completed

 

Anothere Neptunia platinum. Ad with this one I have all the PS4 games (except the Japan-only remake of the Re;Birth 1 remake...).

The game is almost the same as the VII version: now there are also first-person cutscenes with Neptune during the game, but the gameplay is different. Now you need to choose every single attack during the battle, and every time you clear a battle your characters recover HPs, so the game difficulty drops to -2 (compared to the VII version, where you had to choose your battles, especially in the Golden Third chapters, where the CPUs are splitted. And do you remember the fake Goddesses difficult battle? Forget it! Here is super easy! ), and there's also an auto-save function after every battle (and this is a very good thing!). And now there's no ultra-rare cards grinding, but you have to grind ultra-rare processors (which isn't so bad).

Also the scouts system and the hidden challenges are different: luckily there's only one hidden treasure in Senmuu Labyrinth, but there are hunting sidequests (which can be boring after a while).

And the Neplunker Zero... I really hate that dungeon. I've never cleared it in the VII version, but I did here because the infinite sprint was locked at the end of this level.

Lke most of my Neptune screenshots, also this one has a platinum screenshot on the world map!

#78 Personal Growth (Gris)

Difficulty: Pretty easy, has some great platforming!

Time to Complete: About 9 hours

Recommended: Yes

Total Score: 10/10

 

I initially had planned to buy this on steam and play it there but I saw the sale on psn first and not on steam... so...yeah I was dumb but oh well.

 

Anyway, since I heard so much good about it and if many speak so well about it, there must be some reason...although I went in carefully just in case since it's not the first time I get disappointed with overly praised games. But in the end, I'm glad I was wrong because Gris is a very, VERY good platformer with a great art style and direction and definitely worth the price.

 

I won't speak much about the story...mainly because the story is very vague and prone to be interpreted by yourself: all I can say is that the game's "plot" is revolved about the 5 stages of grief and Gris, the girl's name, needs to go through all 5 of them to reach the end of the journey, with some very good emotional scenes by the end.

 

With the story out, I can safely say that the game is also very fun too! There are some legitimately good platforming parts and plenty of collectibles to get, and the trophies require you to do some specific things in order to achieve them (like feeding apples to a forest being, or singing to fowls, etc). I honestly expected a shallow, linear platforming game with barely anything in it but I was happily surprised to see so much cure and effort in the platforming sections! So not only this is an artistic game, but also a very good game to boot! 

 

At any rate, I had a good time, and while I needed a platinum to reach my 80th soon (I'm keeping that spot for a game I want to plat) this was also a surprisingly good game to play and enjoy.

I absolutely recommend it: it's not too long either (I finished the first time in about 4 hours I think, and 9 for the platinum) and it's on sale on both psn and steam!

It was about time I played these games. The first four, I mean. Here's another set of multiple platinums, which also includes two double platinums.

 

It should be mentioned that I never played the first four games before, but I was looking forward to play them. I also decided not to use debug mode or any possible glitches to get the platinums since I'm playing these games for the first time. Well, with exceptions, but I'll explain later.

 

 

Platinum #84

 

 

 

Difficulty: 2/10

Enjoyment: 8.5/10

 

Spoiler

And the adventure begins! It reminds me of Rayman Revolution (a remake of Rayman 2), the way you have to find levels. I like it. I actually managed to find all except one. Misty Beach was the only one I didn't know until I was almost finished.

 

Difficulty-wise, it's the easiest game of the bunch. Easy it may be, but I still enjoyed this. However, I found some of the levels annoying. Not much, and only a few of them. These were:

 

• Lost Precursor City: The sections with electric water weren't too troublesome, but the ones where you have to slide down while jumping over those pipes is annoying. Add some Dark Eco crates into those sections, and there you have it. I died at least few times because of those crates, and I honestly find it hard to avoid them.

 

• Spider Cave: When I first made it here, I couldn't make much of a progress, and turned back. I came back later, and decided to use a walkthrough to see how it's done. In the end, it wasn't as bad as I feared, but the jumps in those Dark Eco filled caves can be annoying to pull off.

 

• Snowy Mountain: I don't have anything against snow levels, but this is probably one of the most annoying ones. It's only because of those sections with ice. Some of them also have pillars, which you need to slam down, as well as enemies. Can you guess where I'm going with these?

 

I've also heard that this game has debug mode or some such. Whenever it's true or not, I wouldn't do that on this game, as this game is very easy.

 

It's also nice to see some refences to NG's Crash games in this game. At least I think so. It just requires some imagination, but that may be just me.

 

 

 

 

Platinum #85

 

 

 

Difficulty: 6/10

Enjoyment: 7/10

 

Spoiler

The only thing I've known about this game is the difficulty. It's also dark toned, but I don't mind it that much. The difficulty, however, is something that takes some time to get used to, and that's why the score is lower.

 

It also has a major difference when it comes to gameplay: weapons. I don't know how well they fit in these games, but i got used to them. Also, vehicles. Flying around with them is fun, as long as I don't crash into guards. That's when the trouble starts.

 

But getting back to what I was saying. It didn't take me long before I discovered the most annoying thing in the game: the checkpoint system is terrible. Each time you fail, you go back to the beginning in that mission. Not to mention, you won't get your ammo back whenever that happens. The first few missions are pretty simple, but it gets harder after that. So far, only two of them I played so far were the most frustrating ones. These were:

 

• The hardest mission I've played was at the beginning. You have to get to the stadium within a time limit. Avoiding all those guards wasn't that bad, but learning the route was a pain in the ass. It also doesn't make it any easier that you have a strict time limit. Take a wrong turn, and you have to restart. Took me several tries, but I made it.

 

• At some point, you have to collect an artifact near the Pumping Station. After doing so, infinite amount of guards come after you, and you have to get past them. You also can't fall into the water or use the Jet Board, or you get killed instantly. Even if you fall and get back up, you still get killed. Why? I still made it, but I was quite annoyed after that.

 

I mentioned earlier how I would avoid using debug mode to get the platinum faster. However, I reached a mission about a halfway in the game I simply couldn't complete. I tried few times, but couldn't do it. At this point, I guess my patience ran out, and just pretty much gave up. Not to mention, the game crashed once, whereas every other game didn't. I'm not proud of it when I decided to use the debug mode to auto-pop the remaining trophies, but I'll still want to say that I'm going to resume the game where I left off someday, and finish it 100%. I'll promise. It's going to take me some time, though. When I do, I might as well post a screenshot about it in some other thread.

 

 

 

 

Platinum #86

 

 

 

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 9/10

 

Spoiler

This is the only game I've seen, but never played. My friend bought it back in good old PS2 days. I don't remember much about it, but I remember he made it to the first boss. Did he ever beat it? Maybe, but I remember he didn't own the game for too long.

 

Anyway, the previous game was hard. Thankfully, this is much easier. It's also much more enjoyable. The things that were annoying in the previous game (the checkpoint system, for example) were fixed in this game. Well, mostly. Some missions could've been more lenient with checkpoints. Other than that, it's better than in the previous one.

 

While this game was easy, the only hard part was the first phase of the final boss. Hitting its weak points while driving was a major annoyance. Took me a about 30 minutes (and at least one death), but I made it. As for the second phase, it was much easier. However, after that, I accidentally skipped the cutscene which resulted to game freezing. I had to redo the second phase again, but it's easy enough so it's no big deal. I watched the ending, and the game worked properly.

 

So, what about the collectibles? I actually managed to get all the Skull Gem related trophies naturally. I found a good spot to farm some of them. Once you reach Haven City for the first time, there will be a bunch of Metal Head Scorpions around. They keep respawning infinitely, but the Metal Head Gems they drop aren't. I think i managed to collect about 100 or so before they stop dropping any more of them. I didn't have too many left to collect, so it didn't take too long before I got the trophy.

 

But what about the Precursor Orbs? Yeah, you can pretty much guess. I think they went a bit too far when it comes to this. 600 is quite much to collect. I will collect them legit when I have enough time so that's another project in the future. At least I managed to complete the story, as well collect all the Skull Gem related trophies, so that should count as something. But like I said, I will collect those orbs legit.

 

 

 

 

Platinum #87

 

 

 

Difficulty: 3.5/10

Enjoyment: 9/10

 

Spoiler

The last Jak game, and it's a racing game. Pretty good and fun game too, I'd say. Chaotic, but fun.

 

This one was mostly easy to me. In fact, only one Freeze Rally and one Circuit Race gave me some challenge. The latter one was the tougher one.

 

The Freeze Rally in Beachfront Drive was the toughest one. Every other Freeze Rally were easy enough, but this one takes the cake being the hardest. The requirement for gold is strict, there's no room for errors and you pretty much need all the "crates" if you want to make it. Getting all of them was a pain since I often just drived past some of them. About a half hour later, I finally managed to clear it, but just barely. However, since I got the perfect bonus, that took 10 seconds off, and got much better time.

 

Then there's the Circuit Race in Waterworks Circuit, which I truly despise. Even the first race in the Yellow Eco Cup where you can't use items was easier than this. But here, everything went wrong. Aggresive AI, crashing into a wall at a certain spot, and losing control at tight turns. I almost made it in one of my early attempts, but then someone managed to catch me and just barely beat me. I hate when that happens.

 

After several tries, I decided to switch to a different car. Using a car with high speed didn't work since I always lost control in those sharp turns. Thankfully, I didn't have all the cars upgraded to max, so using one of the less tuned up cars worked. Eventually, I won after a couple of tries. God, I hate this track.

 

As for every other game mode, there's not much to say. There are some good ones, but some of them are slightly boring. For Arena events, I usually restarted till I got a good starting point or if it looked like I was going to lose.

 

The last thing to mention are the unlockables. I decided to make a good use of PS+ rather than creating multiple save files. It does take longer, but I don't mind it. I'm also planning to buy everything in the game at some point, even though it probably doesn't make any sense. But that's how i like it. I'll probably avoid upgrading all the cars, though.

Time for another double platinum. It's a pretty simple game, but one thing that took some time to get used to was that there are two platforms to control. Sometimes, you have to shoot with one and the other one has to dodge at the same time, which isn't easy for me.

 

Also, the Vita version of this game is currently the fastest platinum I've achieved: under 7 minutes. Metagal held that record for a long time, with 11 minutes, so I was surprised that I made a new record.

 

 

 

 

Platinum #90 (PS4) and #91 (PS Vita)

 

 

 

Difficulty: 2.5/10

Enjoyment: 6/10

 

Spoiler

The hardest (and also the worst) easy game I've played. The main problem is that once the knight starts moving, he doesn't stop, unless you do so. Speaking of which, stopping is very awkward in this game. Time it too late, and you die. Even after you die, he still keeps moving after respawning. Not to mention, he moves so fast that timing all the jumps and stops took some practice. Not much else to say about this one.

 

And there you have it. It's been two lovely weeks with Jak and Daxter games. I enjoyed more than i thought. Also, the fact that they're in HD makes them look great. It's a shame that Jak X never got such luxury, but it's not a major loss. And no, I've never played The Lost Frontier. Most likely never will. I don't know much about it, other than it's not so great.

 

I'm currently taking a break from PS4, and instead have jumped to PS3. I still have some games that i either need to resume, or start. I'll probably get 2-3 platinums before i get back to PS4.

 #375 & #376 - Epic Word Search Collection

 

 

Word Search with a twist. This game presents four giant puzzles with 1500 words to find in each of them. Each of the four puzzles is split into 16 smaller sections that form part of the larger main puzzle.

 

I enjoyed this more than Word Search by POWGI to be honest. It was a lot less repetitive.
