Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate.

 

Last plat to wrap up the year, and boy is this one a doozy. One of the hardest, if not the hardest, RPGs on the Vita. A roguelike where the developers want to make the players suffer and really went out of their way to drive that point home.

 

You have enemies that spam status effects that incapacitate you, and they can do this as much as they want with no cooldown period whatsoever. There's enemies that can attack you with fixed damage that can go as high as 50 from anywhere on the map, in a game where having 200 HP is considered 'high' by the game's standard. There's enemies that innately act 2 times for every 1 of your own actions, often with high attack power to boot. That's not even mentioning the enemies that inflict permanent stat drops and can do nasty things to those lovely equips that you spent several hours building up to godly status. Nothing is safe.

 

Of course, there are ways to get around these powerful enemies, but that's assuming you managed to find that one item out of several hundred throughout your current expedition, and most new expeditions start with all items unidentified, so you'll need to waste some resources to even figure out if you have the proper items. A lot of the challenge in this one comes from the dungeons where you can't take a single item with you and have to use what you find in the dungeon itself to survive. Definitely recommend to people who like that thrill of conquering a challenge after dying over and over again, because that's what this game will do to you.

 #266  -  Ghost of Tsushima

 

Living Legend

 

"Obtain all trophies"

 

Enjoyment: 10/10

Difficulty: 3/10

Completion time: 1 week, 4 days / 56 hours

 

 

My final Platinum trophy for 2020 and I'm ending it with a bang; In my opinion Ghost of Tsushima is the best brand new original game from 2020. I had a blast playing it. It's definitely one of the most beautiful looking game I've ever played (tied with Final Fantasy VII Remake). Ghost of Tsushima reminds me alot of Assassin's Creed: Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla, but executed much better in terms of gameplay, exploration and storytelling; It's not overly huge map/game world bloated with huge amount of pointless activities. It's also very polished game, since I've never encountered any kinds of bugs and plays really well on OG PS4 without any major frame rate drops. The story of this game is also one of reason why I enjoyed this game so much. It's interesting enough to gain my interest on it and there's decent amount of side stories and they are all very interesting stuffs. Trophy wise it's fairly easy game to complete, but it can be somewhat time consuming depending how you play it. Bottom line is; It's one of the best and final PS4 exclusive game and it's definitely worth experiencing. It's visually very beautiful game, but it still run smoothly even on OG PS4 [although the fan noise can be annoying at times)

#331: Well Done!

 

My final platinum this year. A bit of a shame that it ended on a easy peasy platinum, but I wasn't feeling up to anything, so I'll take it. 

 

High percentage rate means exactly what you think; easy requirements, don't even have to beat the game, and cheats that make it super easier.

 

I could talk about how crappy this year was, but that's old news. I will say that it's a damn shame, because it was 2020.

 

Think about that, two 20s in a row, a once in a lifetime event where something grand should have happened, and all we had is a bunch of death and a major blow to our ways of life. And I get to thinking, what if something even worse is around the corner? What if 2020 was 2000 on repeat, with something truly awful on the horizon in 2021?

 

Or maybe 2020 WAS our terrible year, and something better is waiting. I dunno, but hopefully I'm around to see whatever it may be. 

 

Happy New Years!

 

[Warpedsavior]

Managed to get 3 platinums for the end of 2020!

#252 Minecraft Vita Edition

Awarded all trophies

All trophies have been awarded.

Nothing to write about really, but I'm glad it's finally off my backlog

 

#253 Shadow of the Colossus

The Horned Boy

Acquired All Trophies

A pretty great game in my opinion, though the controls were a bit wonky at first. Continuously killing the first two colossi to increase stamina was a bit of a short and easy grind.

 

#254 Persona 4 Arena

I am Thou...

You have mastered P4A.

Both major obstacles to platinum have been conquered! After more then 6 years, I got all the trophies for Persona 4 Arena! I got Score Attack completed earlier in the month, then got all the combos completed by today. I went and saved an easy-ish combo to do last so I could pop the platinum right before New Years(Akihiko's challenge 30), but some other combos were an absolute nightmare. Especially Mitsuru's challenge 30 and Teddie's challenge 29. But I'm happy I managed to get all the combos done.

#143 - My Name is Mayo 2

My Name is Mayo - The Second!
High Cholesterol, High Reward.

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah! First platinum of 2021! I know that many people doesn't exactly like these Mayo-games, but I got to admit that this one was actually pretty funny. You could say that the gameplay is somewhat repetitive, lol, but the story was surprisingly enjoyable. I can't remember anything from the first game, but this second one made me laugh on many occasions. I also did enjoy the art style, both in game and trophies. Too bad the Platinum-trophy image is the most boring of them all, oh well.

 

Enjoyment: 7/10

                    #143 & overall trophy #7000 

                   God of War: Chains of Olympus

                 

After recently playing Ascension I found this game to be much easier to get through for the most part, any hurdles I hit could usually be defeated by having a break and returning. However I really hit a wall right at the end with the Challenges of Hades, well really it was just challenge 2 (killing 20 fire guards without being hit). Just over 10 hours worth of attempts at just that challenge including half of that with my best mate and I switching out trying to get it done. Literally spent longer on the single challenge than the entire campaign of the game. Nonetheless I eventually did manage to git gud and pass my nightmare. 

 

Very happy to have this platinum sitting in my Trophy Milestones even if it turned out to be my first platinum of 2021 rather than my closer for 2020 ?

First Platinum of 2021, at 0:00:14 

A side scrolling twin stick shooter, GGaC 2 takes a humorous approach on mafia, nazis and zombies. Because why not?

And it is real fun too. One liners galore, you shoot, blast and maim everything from baddies to monsters to giant mutant rats.

Difficulty is way low, at least with Platinum requirements. Breeze through and have a good time while you're at it 

Control settings are the only real gripe I have with the game. Shooting with  is good, but why on earth is jumping with  ?

It's so against my every gaming fibre not to jump with , and this led to few mistakes during the run.

But, as said, it's an easy journey so there's much room for error.

Absolutely get this, if English with funny accent and games like Metal Slug interest you. And take the Cannoli

Platinum 116: Spider-Man : Miles Morales

Fairly easy platinum all things considered but still an enjoyable experience, like the first game. If the next one follows up on things teased in both the Spider-Man titles so far, it's going to be a hell of a sequel.

Platinum name is "Be Yourself". Not bad advice for 2021.

#154 Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated

 

It's a spongebob game! If you're a fan of the show then this is something you'll most likely enjoy and as a person who grew up watching the show repeatedly (along with enjoying the memes ) I had to try this game out. Not going to lie, first few hours felt a bit too over simplistic for my taste and I was kind of pushing myself through but the later stages got much more interesting and it started to feel like it was worth my time. I mean that's expected considering it's a game for children as the intended audience after all.

 

What impressed me the most though was the level design. You get to visit iconic places from the show and some others that were mentioned but weren't explicitly shown. Everything looks vibrant, colourful and has a unique design so kudos to the artists. And on top, I think the remake added a few extras from the original like handsome squidward portraits after it became a meme  and some cool idle animations that is best seen firsthand. . By far my favourite level design was Squidward's dream sequence. It was the most creative out of them all. Won't spoil it.

 

Story-wise, it's a classic spongebob saves the day kind of thing that I didn't really care much about but what I enjoyed were the subtle (or sometimes not so subtle) innuendos that would fly over a kid's head but makes you go WTF as an adult . Here are some screenshots of what I mean. Enjoy (no spoilers).

Spoiler

Okay this was one was taken out of context

 

Anyway, with all that said, it was an enjoyable experience but I feel like if you're not a fan of the show or you never got to experience the show growing up, chances are you won't enjoy the game. There's just not enough of a challenge or gameplay variety to keep you going but I won't hold that against the game given that it's a remake of a 2003 game after all intended for children. Anyway, onto the next!

#79 - The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series

 

 

The Long Walk

Nothing much to say here, everybody knows The Walking Dead. Clementine's story is one of the greatest in gaming.

[Godo Fwar]

 #387: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

 

 

 

Platinum

Unlock all trophies

 

My first plat of 2021, even though this game came out in 2010 for the PS3. It's nothing like the classic side-scrollers that the series is renowned for. The devs decided to make this a hack-and-slash third person action adventure game, very similar to the likes of God of War and Prince of Persia in that regard. The game was fun enough to play, but of course it wasn't without issues that made it frustrating at times, most notably the delayed button responses and the awkward camera angles.

 #331

 

I was trying to decide between this and My Name is Mayo 2, I ultimately decided on The Bunker. I am glad I did as I did enjoy the short time with this. Not much gameplay but the story was pretty good. It took me to the end of the game to really start putting together what was going on. At first I didn't understand why John and his mom were the only ones alive. Without spoiling anything I'll stop there.

Plat 314- Erica

 

Hmm...did I like this game?

 

I found the concept to be very good. It is an FMV game...but done well. The camera work was great, the mood was creepy, the acting was not bad (some good, some meh), the sound was great and I was intrigued in the story. When I finished my first playthrough I did the Butterfly ending and was excited to try a new path to unlock more of the mystery.

 

This is where the game falls flat

 

Taking different paths barely opens up any new scenes and you don't really learn any more of the mystery. I guess you are supposed to "come up with your own conclusions" but there was not enough to go on for any conclusion to make perfect sense.

 

I would love to see another game done like this but with more effort put into flushing out a full story that rewards you for playing through it multiple times.

 

A good effort but lots of room for improvement.

Batman Arkham Origins

 

My last platinum of 2020! I started this game 4 years and 1 months ago when it was known that the online was going to go down by the end of 2016... I did mange to get all the online trophies in 2016, but it seems like online is still available to this day.

Well glad I was able to finish another PS3 game! I hope I can finish even more PS3 games in 2021!!!

Visualy it actually looks prretty neat. Unfortunately the gameplay kind of sucks. It feels dated and it makes the game unessecarily frustrating for no reason. This one feels like it could've been a lot better overall.

Pragmatism's Last Reward / Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

 

( ps4 )

 

this is the very first game in this series i ever played and from what i heard this was considered the weakest game in the series, the series is well known to be a crime investigation-ish visual novel and it's been loved by may people around the world, Ultra Despair Girls is a Third Person Shooter that rely heavily on story driving and it's event is set between Trigger Happy Havoc and second game Goodbye Despair.

 

i can't talk much on the story part due to spoilers, but it was about some 5 random kids that start a war in a Japanese fictional City named Towa City against the adults and you're playing as a teenager girl that got caught in the middle of this conflict..... only japan can make crazy stuff like this to be a really interesting story to follow to the end and see how will it ends ?

 

the story is very dark as one of the rules the kids made that if you wanna join their paradise is first to kill your parents.. but it also can be very hilarious and funny especially the conversations between the two main character's Komaru and Toko, Komaru is a simple girl that is so obsessed with Manga as Toko is a visual novel writer that dislike manga's and especially cheep novels like erotic or comedy ones, both girls is about the same age but Toko is more mature while Komaru is more of an air headed.

 

the gameplay is a bit outdated to be honest, it felt like an early third person shooter on the ps2 where there's a lot's of invisible walls and such and this game is originally was a PS Vita game, the aiming and shooting is fine with me as i heard the shooting mechanics is a bit stiff but what i hated much about the controls is the way you switch Truth Bullets types, you have to use the directional pad and it made a lot's of problems to get used to it as when you wanted to chose a bullet from the bullet wheel especially the Link bullet or the Fire bullet you'll randomly gonna chose Break or Move or Dance or Detect sometimes which can be very annoying.

 

i played the game on the highest difficulty setting and never felt of any threat at all, but the worst part to me in the game is the entire chapter 4, there was this specific Monoku-Man room that i kept failing to complete it the right way as you need the 8-bit celebration screen shows up once it done so you know that you have solve it the right way, i kept failing it over and over and i had to reload my save from the last saving spot then run from the shopping district streets all the way to this room and fail again.

i watched a video guide and it appears i been doing it the right way all alone, the challenge need me to kill all the enemies in the room with one explosion and it turns out that once the explosion happen two Monokuma's ( the robot enemies in the game ) will fly off and fall to the bottom pits in the area and the game will count that as a falling kill and not an explosion kill and that really pissed me off, and after more tries and finally naild it i reach this boring section The Towa Factory.

you have to dodge a laser that if you touch it the alarm will sound and the area will close as you have to watch this unskippable short scene where the alarm will sound then a hatch will open and an alarm monokuma will appear, you shoot it down another unskippable scene shows the alarm to be shut off and the hatch will close..

 

i kept triggering the alarm over and over because i didn't noticed the freaking laser at first despite the game warned me about it.

 

i got the best ending in the game and i gotta give credits to the devs to not force you to see all the ending the game have to offer to unlock a trophy for it which i really started to hate this nonsense nowdays, even though the game have only two ending a True ending which is the good ending and a bad ending, and i really liked the soundtracks in this game so much and the story is good from what i saw, and i really liked Komaru, she's simple.. a bit of a crybaby but she's adorable, especially when she's trying to make jokes and fail at them, and i like how she will change the way how she hold the gun, walk and run in the course of the game at the start she's so cowardly but at the end of the game she becomes familiar with the situation and the way she stand and run will change.

 

my very first 2021 platinum.
