#64: Dragon Sinker

Descendants of Legend (40.59% - Uncommon)

Obtained all trophies.

 

This Platinum was way more tedious than I expected.

 

Dragon Sinker is a kinda little known (Less than 2000 owners here on PSNP) JRPG that I played on my Vita; it was one of the several games that I bought last year on the Vita Store the very same day I got my Vita, and I bought it for two reasons: the first was that it was very cheap and so I just added it to my Vita library for this, just to have something to play on it, while the second was that I had never played a JRPG game before and when I noticed this game I decided to give it a try. I am not really a big fan of RPGs in general, but I am always open to try new kind of games and I said, why not, so I tried this little JRPG.

 

At first, I hated it: my opinion about the game changed in positive with time, but it does have a big issue or two. I absolutely hate how slow the characters are: while walking in the biggest maps, it takes AGES to go from one place to another, and of course you may get interrupted by unnecessary battles no one asked for and that make you waste even more time. And additionally, after having tried to play the game by myself for a while, I decided to give up because I was not able to fully understand my goals: where to go, what to do etc. And since the characters are so slow in walking, at a certain point I burned out and I decided to follow a Platinum Walkthrough on Youtube. I have done the same thing twice in the past with other games (RiME and Vampyr), and in those two occasions I felt like I was freeing myself from a burden, I felt so happy and free expecially when I got the Platinum Trophy of Vampyr thanks to the Platinum Walkthrough on Youtube; however, following the Platinum Walkthrough on Dragon Sinker actually made me appreciate the game. Thanks to those videos, I finally knew what I had to do and where to go, and my experience with the game turned out being much better; not to mention that, obviously, various things of my run (The items, the levels of the characters etc.) were different to the one of the person who made the videos, so this made my experience different and even better. Seriously, those videos on Youtube have like 10 views each, but that guy who uploaded them saved me, because otherwise now I would likely not have that Platinum, thank you dude

 

The very final part of the game (After the "final" boss) is different than the earlier part of it: it's actually straightfoward and it's almost impossible to get lost, and most importantly, the characters FINALLY walk with a good speed. At that point, I stopped following those videos and I finished the game by myself; the very final boss was very challenging, and since you need to beat him ten times in a row for the hardest Trophy in the game, it required me hours of grinding to level up my characters and make them strong enough to stand a chance against him. Eventually, I did it, thanks to a PSNP user who shared his strategy, that worked like a champ for me too.

 

I have played this game just once a week, on Saturdays, and as I said, at the very beginning I used to hate it, but I appreciated it more and more with time. About the Platinum, I am actually surprised to see that it is that common: the Trophy list is actually straightforward, but a Trophy is missable and, as I said, beating the final final boss 10 times in a row is very daunting and seems impossible if you are not strong enough. This truly shows how the Platinum percentages are not necessary 100% accurate about the difficulty of a game: for example, I'm surprised that this Platinum is more common than Life is Strange's, which is actually easy. Getting the Platinum of Dragon Sinker is not a big challenge at all, but requires you to beat the main game, level up every character, pay attention to the only missable Trophy, pray your luck for some luck based Trophies (No big deal anyway) and grind hours to be strong enough to beat the final final boss 10 times in a row: not a so-easy Platinum as it may seem by looking at the percentages without knowing anything about the game.

 

I'm happy about that Platinum: obviously I was the one to decide to play it just once a week but I'm glad it's over, it took me more than three months, likely too much: finally time to move on and play something else on my Vita. And one last thing worth noticing: Dragon Sinker's soundtrack is pretty good to me ??

 #226 Kena: Bridge of Spirits

 

The game is soooo beautiful. The bgm also blends in prefectly. I was going to save the photo mode trophy for last but I couldn't resist using photo mode while I was playing through the story. The combat mechanics are simple but are pretty challenging on higher difficulties so huge props to the people who actually finish master mode without the exploit.

 #73: Donut County

All Done
Unlock all trophies.

 

Two words: too short. I picked this one for the Trophy Hunting Day event since I've always heard it's a fun and short time, but I found myself a little disappointed that it WAS so short! I feel like this game only really starts to gain momentum right at the end, it's a bit of a bummer. The idea is quite fun: you control a hole in the ground and the more you suck into the hole the bigger it gets. There are some cool physics based puzzles that come with this, but like I said... There's not enough of said puzzles! There easily could've been like two or more hours added to the run time and it would have more than likely been just as fun.

 

 #74: The Bunker

Platinum Trophy
Acquire all trophies

 

These FMV games from Wales Interactive are honestly quite strange. I've played Late Shift before and I thought it was pretty okay, but I think (?) I liked The Bunker more. It was late at night when I started this one up so I decided to play this one on mute, which I was worried would bring the experience down a bit. But honestly the acting for the main character, John, was pretty good. You could definitely see how he was feeling based solely on his facial expressions, so I admit I was a bit impressed. I think the length of The Bunker is perfect for what it is, though, it's like watching a movie so anything too long might be a bit much. Plus you didn't have to replay it too many times like Late Shift, so that's definitely a plus!

 

 #75: Hades

God of Blood
Earn all other Trophies

 

I didn't expect to become addicted to Hades. I really didn't. Something about the game had me feeling a bit lukewarm on it before I gave it a try, but because I absolutely love Supergiant Games I went ahead and gave it the preorder. I'm so glad I did. Each run makes you feel like you're making progress, be it in the story or the abilities Zagreus gains afterwards, and it creates a simple but effective gameplay loop that leads to players saying "okay, just one more run." I was quite shocked at how much I liked the characters too, they're of course all based on Greek gods and mythological figures, and in my mind I was wondering how likeable you can really make them. Everyone is great though, I didn't dislike anyone! (Thanatos is babe.) Overall I'm glad I managed to keep myself from popping this plat any earlier, I'm proud to hold this as my 75th plat so that it's immortalized on my page forever!

Platinum #99 - Until Dawn

 

 

 A Symphony of Horror Trophies - You collected all Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies in
Until Dawn

511,705 Owners - 90,147 Achievers for a percentage of 17.62% (average completion; 28.63%)

 

 

Enjoyment; 6/10

Difficulty; 2/10

Trophies; 4/10 (repeated tiles, only 19 Trophies, but decent requirements)

Inches of snow; 10/10

 

If you subscribe to PS Plus and are lucky enough to own a Playstation 5, you have access to the Playstation Plus Collection; a handful of yesteryear's games that you get to play 'for free' as long as you subscribe to Plus. There's a fair few Sony-published titles involved with one of them being Until Dawn, a strange horror-themed mashup between a walking simulator and a visual novel with branching story paths that wildly change the ending depending on your choices.

 

I had a gap in my 127-Trophies-a-month quota that equalled Until Dawn's Trophy list, so with my limited knowledge of the game (having played it for mayeb 15 minutes in 2017) I jumped into this story about a group of friends being marooned on a snowy mountain with a homicidal maniac. I absolutely don't like horror as a genre in any kind of media, but this game ended up being decent fun for what it was; a relatively straight path through dark and snowy environments featuring some very uncanny looking characters (a result of nascent mocap and facial scan technology).

 

 

Gameplay is limited to navigating whichever character you control at a given moment down rather linear paths with the odd hidden alcove containing a collectable trinket along the way, plus half a dozen instances of aligning a targeting reticule over an incoming threat and the odd quick time event. It's not overly involved, but the latter can catch you out if you haven't been paying attention to your surroundings. Each of them have a very lax deadline, so particularly sharp reflexes aren't a must.

 

At the end of my ten or so hours with the game I had all 100+ Collectables and succesfully passed every scenario that had a Trophy associated with it. There is no way to unlock the Platinum in one go as there are multiple Trophies relying on certain characters surviving or dying, and with just one save slot that constantly refreshes itself there was no save scumming beyond the odd upload to PS Plus just in case. I'd have felt cheated had I paid full price for Until Dawn, but considering I played it for 'free' I'm quite happy with the experience. It's very typical of the cinematic narrative-driven direction Sony has so firmly adopted since the PS3, but the narrative here was interesting enough to see through to the end. The writing wasn't particularly bad either - everything was in service of the plot and worked out wonderfully. Developers Supermassive Games are to be commended for their work.

 

If you have both Plus and a PS5, give this one a go. A quick and very easy Plat that can be swiftly completed by adhering to the excellent guides available on this site, but not a 1/10 due to how missable some things are and the always looming danger of your save file refreshing and locking in a bad decision or missed QTE.

[Starrk_01]

Both of the below were achieved during BeyondtheGrave07's Hunting event.

 

Plat #197: Donut County (PS4)

 

Too short of a game, but I got it when it was $2 and had not much money on my account, so I would say definitely worth it. Very funny story and characters.

 

Plat #198: Zone of Enders HD Edition (PS3)

 

After having this sit on my backlog for two years and 7 months and restarting a couple times as I 100% forgot the controls, this one is finally done. With the exception of the first rescue mission and Tyrant, hard mode wasn't so bad. I was even expecting the 2nd Neith fight to be tough because I struggled on it during my easy playthrough, but apparently just continuous shooting Comet kills her quickly. The story has much too be desired in my opinion and the game just...ends. I know the sequel is continuing the story (which I have already started and already got more of a connection with Dingo rather than Leo), but I would have been pissed as a teenager if I played through it originally and got the ending of the 1st one. Anyways, this was one of the last PS+ games that I downloaded when the service was being shut off, so seems like a fitting end.

 

Also, it took nearly 3/4 of the year, but I can finally marked off one of these 2021 goals I set for myself.

 

2021 Goals:

1. Finally go back and plat Zone of Enders (PS3). Has been an eyesore for a couple of years now.

2. Finally start (and platinum) Persona 5. Been meaning to do this for years now but never got the motivation.

3. Get 200 plats total. Really depends if I do some short plat games. Prior history is good on this one, but as they say in the financial world, "Prior performance is not an indicator of future result."

4. Reaching 87.5% completion. Currently am slightly above 85%, but would have to really concentrate on games I've already started for this to become reality (or finally spend money on DLC).

Platinum trophy No. 234! A horror game!

 

Resident Evil VII: Biohazard

Biosplattered + 100% completion

 

Back into a Resident Evil game after the remake of the 3. Well, the first person is surely a huge change in this game, and it was quite fun (and not really scary, but I a guy who survived the horrors of the Outlast games, Alien Isolation, the two Evil Within, so it's really hard to scare me). But this time no zombies: creatures called Mold, and there are 4 or 5 variations. And you should also Lucas' bombs, so the enemry variety is really poor. But bosses are great! And there's the best part of the game:

when you open a door in the Old House, and Marguerite slams it into your face screaming "Stay the f***... OUT!" And there spiders covering the door...



I think this part should be a meme

Then you have the Madhouse difficulty, which isn't really difficult if you use the bonus weapons (especially the circular saw, which let you save ammos for the bosses). Just the beginning part until you reach an item box. And I always follow a general rule in every horror game: save the Magnum ammos for the final boss!!! In the first (normal) run I had onnly 3 bullets, in the easy/speedrun 5, but in the Madhouse difficulty I had 11 bullets! I used two of them (together with two flare grenades) against the final fatty Mold, and then I unleashed the remaining bullets against the final boss.

But I'm surprised by the % rarity: the 7th is around 11% (and only 3 runs), while the other two games that I have are much more common (and require more runs): RE 2 is around 20% (6 runs) and RE 3 is 36% (4 runs)!

And after the main game you have a lot of DLC to play in order to reach the 100%! And they are:

- escape from the room, play the 21 card game and survive in the basement for 6 hours;

- Ethan must die: a trial and error where you start with a stupid knife and you have to explore the house, break crates and pray the RNG in order to find good weapons. Runs where I had good weapons ended in ridiculous way. And in my final attempt I had only 3 magun bullets, a couple of shotgun bullet, and a full burner (450 units). And I have to thank the traps in the greenhouse which helped me to defeat Marguerite...

- Jack's 55th Birthday: the silly mode of Resident Evil. Really silly, At least the Tofu mode in RE 2 was hilarious...;

- End of Zoe: now you can literally punch those stupid Mold enemies! But the King of the swamp was the hardest trophy of the game, because Joe must die difficulty is brutal, much worse than the Madhouse difficulty. Enemies are tougher, traps everywhere, and those stupid crocodiles...;

- Not a hero: the post game ending (especially about one character). Also this one was really fun, since you can kill the Mold with one parry and one punch! And the Professional difficulty wasn't really tough, especially if you unlock a couple of useful items from the previous runs.

In the end, a nice horror game, with a lot of different post-game contents. I'm really curious about the Resident Evil Village, but I'll keep it for Halloween! ?

Red Dead Redemption 2

 

 

 - Legend of the West

 

All I needed was some faith, some money and a goddam plan.

 

Normally I'd write like, infinity paragraphs but the good thing about Rockstar's games, they're so well known that I don't have to. I will say though, I'll talk about this game with the sincerest admiration whenever I have the opportunity to do so.

 

Enjoyment: 10/10

Difficulty: 5/10

Time to platinum: Ahem. 681 hours. I enjoyed it so much I played it twice, and got wrapped up in online for several weeks.

#65 - Uncharted: Golden Abyss

This is probably unpopular but i think this Uncharted is better than UC 1 because the story is a little bit better for me and also this is the easiest Uncharted game to platinum, you still need to be "good" at crushing in some chapter like chapter 15 and 25 but if you save your best weapon like the Wes-44 is easy to complete this game without dying.

 

The thing that i hate of this game are the Bounty, some kills related trophy and the bloody Touchscreen QTE (or QSE)

 

The bounty stuff is not that hard to get with the last patch but you still need to play at least 5+ more hours just to get every single one done.

 

Some kills related trophy like kills 70 with the SAS-12 or the 200 kills with the GAU-19 are useless because the first weapon the SAS-12 is pretty much a dead weapon even the simple pistol is better and the GAU-19 is only good at the end of the game, you need to grind at least a hour just to get both of the trophies done, easily my most boring session of gaming ever and i level alone TR:2013....

 

Last hated thing is the Touchscreen QTE (or QSE), just for the final boss because you need to be fast and not so precise....

 

The thing that i love are Nate, Puzzles and the Villain.

 

Nate is the same Nate as the other games but with more personality, a little bit strange considered that this game is technically a prequel of UC 1, that makes this game for me a surprise and also better than UC 1.

 

The Puzzles are really great even if they are very easy to complete with a lot of similarity of UC 3

 

Guerro is probably a badass but with a poor mindset still a great Villain in the series better than Navarro.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

 

Platinum  #68:

 

Personal Difficulty: 7/10

Rating: 9/10

Time to Platinum: 196 hours

 

Wow, I mean, what's to even say about this game... It took me almost 200 hours across 4 years to finally grind this out after having 250 hours on the 3DS version and 180 on Steam. This game means so much to me and I used to play it almost every single day in high school and college. After the newest DLC got announced for console (Repentance) then I finally got the motivation to start playing again after having almost 500 hours in the game already across other consoles. This game is so fun and fresh with all of the content that has been added over the years. This game also feels very fair and nine times out of ten when you take damage it's your own fault. Playing as the secret characters was also a blast as well as very challenging!

 

There are some differences between the trophy conditions for the base game and the game with DLC such as the "Challenges" trophy only needing you to beat the base 20 challenges for the trophy whereas if you have the DLC you need to beat ALL of the challenges that you have even though the description says only 20... This means that since I had both Afterbirth and Afterbirth+, then I had to complete all 35 challenges which includes the dreaded "Ultra Hard" challenge...

 

If anyone is planning to go for the plat in this game, I say it's totally worth it! It might be better to wait for the final DLC to come out so you can earn progression towards the DLC as well as the base game but just know that if you want to get the platinum, you'll have to complete a lot more challenges...

 

I might go for 100% DLC completion which just requires me to get the few missing items I don't have yet but I think I will take a break from this game until the Repentance DLC comes out for console and focus on other games and my #70 platinum milestone (hopefully Godzilla!)

 

Thanks for your time if you read all of this and have a great day

This game gives me Breath of the Wild vibes. The battles were intense and little challenging. The visuals in this game were really good.  I still can't believe this was Ember Lab first game and it is this good. It will be really interesting what they will bring in the future.

#220: Living Legend - Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

 

I had intended to get this for a while since I like Gwent and since that other Gwent game is in eternal Beta testing (or I think it's supposed to be anyway, I feel like it never left because of the constant re-balancing) I figured this was right up my alley. For the $6 I paid for it, it was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. I think the rules were set to be similar to the online game so it took me some getting used to it but once I got better cards that made it easier to do consistent strategies I found it to be pretty fun. There are also puzzle battles that were creative for the most part although some were hit and miss. It was fun using all the different cards though, since like Gwent in The Witcher 3 you could make some pretty overpowered decks.

 

The story to it was also pretty good too. I haven't read the books but the characters I think are in the books and also appear in The Witcher 1 and 2, but you play as Queen Meve which I feel like I remember them talking about in The Witcher 3 at least and you get to make certain story choices that had a lot of moral conflict which was pretty neat since it felt like a lot of them were difficult choices to make and there are very few that are actually "good" choices while the rest at best are the better of two evils and irredeemable at worst. I did try to make the best decisions I could along with whatever the guide I was using said to so I could get certain trophies. I felt like a lot of it did pretty well handling the whole horror of war kind of thing especially once you get to the swamp area. It also made me kind of dislike the Nilfgaard faction more. But it was neat since it was basically seeing a part of The Witcher story that you're mostly told about and I feel like they referenced often but I haven't played The Witcher 3 in a long time so I don't remember. There was also one moment near the end that was pretty cool where a certain character makes a quick cameo. Unfortunately you don't get to keep them as a card. ? The other party member characters were also pretty likeable and they had a nice mix between them as well as banter between each other and Meve.

 

The trophies aren't difficult although there are a lot of missable ones, two of which I missed but it didn't take very long to get them again since on Easy difficulty it lets you skip every battle and it will count as a win which made going through the maps a lot quicker. Overall a pretty enjoyable game despite some crashing issues since for some reason the Mountain and Swamp area were prone to crashing the most at least for me.

 

In summary:

 

'ate Nilfgaard

'ate the Emperor

'ate Vampire Monster decks

'ate the Scoia'tael

 

Luv Queen Meve

Luv Rivia

Luv Dwarven Ale

Luv me Gwent

Fun 10/10 maybe in my top 10 games to be honest

Difficulty 6 (8 on some parts) game gets a lot easier once you get the fundamentals down and learn the weapons though I liked and used tonfas the most .
Difficulty near the end was about a 3-4.

 

Time to platinum: just over 92 hours

 

Grind 7/10, all weapon proficiency to attract least 120,000. And tea utensils was a bit of a grind at the end.
 

Honestly can say one of my favourite games and experiences. I love edo era history and Japanese folklore, as well as soulsborne games. I have the complete ps5 version of the game so will do the DLC and get ot to 100% or try my hardest  then on to Nioh remastered.

Would really recommend is a ps5 free upgrade from ps4 too.

"Platinum Trophy" (Creative name!)

Fallout 4

 

I'm super late to the serie. This was my very first Fallout game. I see what all the fuss was about because I was hooked. I was googling a lot of the lore around vaults, creatures and the world to learn more. Even better that it was a free inclusion for PS5 owners.

For the platinum, it got really old towards the end having to grind to the lv 50 trophy. Please note that if you purchase all the DLC I'm sure you'd inevitably hit lv 50 without trying. Every other trophy came naturally over time. The exception are the story trophies. It has three possible endings that all lock you out of each other, so check a guide to know where to make manual saves allowing you to come back and get those story trophies.

I loved everything about the game except the story. Only because, being an RPG with flexibility of how you navigate, there were a lot of contradictory moments. I'll avoid spoilers in case you're yet to play it but once you join SPOILER FACTION and are put in charge there's absolutely no need to continue. You can make every group happy. You can hand over tech to the Brotherhood, release all the synths and aid the Minutemen/Commonwealth. But because the game needs a climax you have to target a group to attack.

I usually prefer turn based RPGs but really enjoyed this style of western, open world RPG and am keen to tackle other Bathesda titles.

#205 - Scarlet Nexus

 

 

Really fun game! Epic Japanese voice acting with fully voiced dialogue, which made the story scenes and bonding events a lot of fun to watch. The soundtrack was also amazing, and the battle system was incredibly fun. I also really liked the idea of putting hidden codes in the anime that we can use in the game to unlock extra stuff. I thought this was an awesome idea!

 

Platinum was really fun too, nothing too grindy and everything can be done on easy difficulty. And while a second playthrough is required, it's fun to replay since there's 2 characters to choose from and we get to view the story from their perspective. The story can be confusing on the first playthrough, but the missing pieces of the puzzle come together after the second playthrough.

 

Enjoyment: 9/10

Difficulty: 3/10

 

I should receive my copy of Lost Judgment tomorrow, so I'll probably get started on that next while waiting for Mary Skelter Finale!

Okay you've sold me on this. Usually I'm turned off by multiple playthroughs. But to see you refer to it as fun then I'm keen to try.
