Balan Wonderworld 

 

I managed to platinum Balan Wonderworld (PS5 version) after having it on the go for the last couple of months .  It's actually a pretty good game which I'd recommend to people who enjoy 3D platformers.  It's definitely better than it was given credit for at launch anyway at least on PS5.    

 

The platinum journey however is really frustrating due to some bizarre gameplay mechanics which go some way to souring the experience.  These range from big to small from the horrible Balan Bout QTE's to how the stages don't appear in numerical order in the hub world.  

 

It's worth a look though especially if not going after the platinum and just playing through the story.

Finally, the road to platinum #100 is complete! For someone like me who doesn't have a boatload of time to play games everyday, this feels like a pretty significant milestone. Here's how I got there since my last post:

 

 #96 - Dirt 5

"DIRT LEGEND"

Difficulty: 2/10

Enjoyment: 6.5/10

 

Arcade and kart racers are really the only styles of racing games that I enjoy; realistic racing sims have never done anything for me. This PS+ freebie is much more on the arcade-y side of the spectrum than the realistic side, so I decided to play it and had a decent enough time. Grinding out 1,000 miles is the only real hurdle for this platinum, and fortunately there are plenty of user generated tracks created just for this purpose. Duct tape on the right trigger is your friend.

 

 #97 - Magus

"Perfection"

Difficulty: 1/10

Enjoyment: 1.5/10

 

This game is bad. Very bad. I do not recommend. Pretty much the only reason to play this game is if you've got an upcoming milestone in mind, and you want to reach it a little bit faster with an easy platinum that can be earned in one day, and you have a PSNow subscription and don't want to spend any additional money. That's why I played it, anyway. It plays like a prototype PS2 game, a bad one at that. Nothing but filler material here.

 

 #98 - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

"This Is What We Do"

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 9/10

 

Ah, back to the land of good video games. Not just good; excellent. The combat is satisfying, the story and voice acting are top notch, and the soundtrack steals the show. This game has a licensed, mix-tape style soundtrack of 80's tunes. During combat there's a huddle mechanic you can use to motivate your team. If you choose the correct dialog options they'll all get a boost and Star Lord will bust out his Walkman to listen to a song. The game will pick a random song from the soundtrack for you to listen to whilst in the heat of battle. I now have three new favorite boss battle themes:

3. "Kickstart My Heart", Motley Crue. This one should make sense.

2. "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", Wham! Not as obvious as number three, but trust me, it's great. And number one is...

1. "Everybody Have Fun Tonight", Wang Chung. This is the best boss battle music, ever. It should be optional boss battle music for all games.

 

 #99 - Death's Door

"The Shiniest Thing"

Difficulty: 4/10

Enjoyment: 9.5/10

 

From one excellent video game to another, this game is a real gem. It's an adventure game with classic Legend of Zelda style gameplay, most similar to A Link to the Past (It even has a hookshot). The studio that made it consists of two people. The credits list a total of nine people who worked on the game, so some work was outsourced, but even so - only nine people involved in making this game. And it's superb.

 

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate just how adorable the platinum trophy image is?

 

 #100 - Demon's Souls

"Slayer of Trophies"

Difficulty: 7/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

 

And here's the game I selected to be platinum milestone #100. I know for seasoned vets this game isn't considered to be that hard, but it was my first ever Souls game. I certainly found it quite challenging. Flamelurker had me frustrated and contemplating whether I wanted to continue with the platinum pursuit, but that dickhead is dead now, so hooray! It felt very satisfying to get this platinum, and I'm proud to have it as milestone #100.

#72: Tales of Arise (PS5) - Arisen

 

 

Just continuing my tradition of playing one Tales game every decade: Symphonia on the Gamecube in 2004, Abyss on the 3DS in 2012, and now Arise in 2021-22. Honestly, while I've found all three games to be at least decent, they've never been among my favorite JRPGs - I really only revisit the series when I'm craving a new RPG and can't think of anything else in the genre to play. Not to say Arise is anywhere near bad, though: the real-time combat is pretty fun (although enemies sometimes feel a bit too much like damage sponges on higher difficulties), it looks and runs great on PS5, and the story was interesting enough to keep my attention depsite a few predictable twists. I'm not sure how it stacks up to the PS3/4 era Tales games I never played, but I feel like series (or general JRPG) fans should have a good amount of fun with this one. Solid, but not a masterpiece, IMO.

 

I looked at the trophy lists for the other Tales games out of curiosity, and it definitely looks like Arise's plat is much easier than any of them. No need to do multiple playthroughs, no need to play on the highest difficulty, no need to meticulously track 5,000 missables. It's a fairly straightforward "finish the story and sidequests on your favorite difficulty" plat that will still take you through all the content the game has to offer. Just have to stay up to date on skits (you need 300 out of 320), but I'm pretty sure all the ones you missed can be watched while camping. Getting to level 100 sounds daunting (I finished the story at 55), but with the EXP-boosting artifacts and food active, the main bonus dungeon should shoot you all the way to the low 90s, and farming said dungeon's final boss on Story difficulty will get you the rest of the way in a half hour. Save your money on the DLC boosters; they're nowhere near necessary.

 

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 7/10

Plat Time: 55 hours

 #43: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles [PS5]

"Trophy Collector"

This is my first time posting on this thread but reading other peoples posts about their platinum's and their experience was fun and interesting and made me want to post about my last one as well.

 

Demon slayer is a super fun fighting game with a shorter platinum and a not too challenging trophy list depending on your skill level. You need to S rank every fight and a couple of the later missions might give you trouble but you once you learn attack patterns and when you can get in for your combos you'll be fine. The fighting is enjoyable enough for the length of the platinum, its sort of about mixing dodging with finding time for a big button mash combo. It only got a little stale towards the end once I'd done everything except for the training missions which is a bit of a grind at the end, you'll spend a couple hours at the end of your platinum just spamming combos in pretty easy fights until you've beaten 10 rank 10 training missions. Overall super fun game and great for any demon slayer fans looking for a fun way to recap the first season and the movie.

 #57: Super Street: The Game

Difficulty: 2/10. There is an option to change the difficulty, but still there is really strong rubberbanding and the AI makes silly mistakes. The AI crashes a lot, like not braking before tight turns. Also the game has a 'takedown' feature so the AI tries to ram you and others, crashing themselves out a lot. I do not recommend to play this game if you want to go ahead against a solid AI competitor.

Enjoyment: 6/10. Overall pretty fun and quick racing game with clear trophies. The online part is dead so a boosting group is required, but it only takes 3 races to get the trophies.

Plat time: 10 hours

 

 

 #58: Dirt 5

Difficulty: 3/10. The AI is pretty solid on higher difficulties. The way the cars handle can make a big difference per race. Overall not too difficult, some races are challenging on medium difficulty and can feel a bit unfair, but nothing too worrying.

Enjoyment: 8/10. Great overall straight forward arcade racer. I really liked the hill climb races, it worked really well and offers a nice different challenge. The online part is very alive and offers some fun different game elements which aren't in the singeplayer mode. 

Plat time: 25 hours

 

 

 #59: Maquette

Difficulty: -. Used a full guide for this one, not into puzzle games.

Enjoyment: 5/10. Not my type of game, but had it in the PS5 backlog so tried it out. The puzzle element feels good and I can see how people who enjoy these type of games can really enjoy it.

Plat time: 4 hours

Platinum 215th - Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on PS3!

 

For anyone new that wants to go for this, you have to buy the online pass from the store, buying a brand new copy doesn't work for the online as the code is expired, it also has an active online so you won't need to boost.

Resident Evil 3 Remake.

 

[starcrunch061]

Plats continue to come in twos these days:

 

Plat #469: Seek Hearts

 

 

A World That Never Ends

Obtained all the trophies.

 

Yes, another Kemco plat. I don't know what it is, but I dig these short, easy JRPGs...usually. But Seek Hearts should have been called Suck Hard. Because man - does this game suck.

 

Back as an undergrad, I had a friend from Argentina. Good guy. We hung out a lot. I even met his parents one time. His dad was hilarious. His English was broken beyond belief. My friend told me that his dad pretty much just mentally rolled two dice in his mind, one for a noun and one for a verb, and whatever came up, that's what he said. It was a funny image to me.

 

I'm pretty sure the devs of Seek Hearts did the same things for the putrid story in this one. Rolling the dice, we get...fairy, robots, monster alchemy, and a super strong girl. Let's roll with it, baby! So, in the world of Seek Hearts, humans coexist with fairies, including great fairies. For some reason, they start building robots. Then one human gets the idea to build a robot fairy, and all hell breaks loose. Oh, and one of your party members is very strong. VERY strong. Why? Who cares, just go with it! Honestly, it sounds like a Mad Lib.

 

The jokes in this game are terrible. The main one is that our super strong girl keeps sending our robot into walls, but when anyone calls her on it, she gets mad about their "jokes". Pure hilarity!

 

Oh yeah - this game has titles, too! Want to know how you get titles? You...find fairies out in the world who bestow them on you! One fairy might say, "I bestow upon you the title of liar!" Sure, there are a couple of titles you get through normal gameplay, but the vast majority are obtained randomly. Awesome, right?

 

The main enemies you fight in the game are evil squirrels. Oh, and a whole lot of rice cookers (the game calls them "crockpots", but they look a helluva lot like my rice cooker). In fact, the optional boss in the game is a super strong rice cooker. Can't beat that!

 

Even if you're a fan of Kemco, I recommend steering clear of this one. It sinks to the bottom, along with other dreck like Sephirotic Stories. There are much better Kemco games available.

 

Plat #470 - Enter the Gungeon

 

 

Dat Plat

Acquire all other trophies

 

Now we're talkin'! Enter the Gungeon is one of my favorite games of the generation. A roguelike (roguelite? rogueish? I have no idea) 2-D shooter, done smart and done right, Enter the Gungeon has tons of weapons, tons of enemies, and tons of fun. It includes free DLC which adds additional challenges, additional characters, and...additional fun! The only gripes I have for this game are some annoying load times to start up, and an absurdly pointless plat grind (which also affects in-game 100%), due to a very poor decision by the devs. 

 

But man, it's so fun! Every time I got a new gun, or found a new enemy, I immediately went to my Ammonomicon to read its description. Many of them are hilarious. The references in this game are often incredibly vague, but always awesome. One enemy calls back to Godzilla's nephew Godzuki in the short-lived cartoon that I bet the vast majority have never even heard of (here's a link if you want to check it out in its awfulness). Some of the guns literally made me laugh out loud. My favorite was probably the rad gun. Hearing the gun say "wack" every time I missed my reload window made the failure completely worthwhile.

 

Another great idea are the "synergies" between weapons and items, both shown and hidden. The game has its own "synergies", which are obtained by holding two guns/items together which produce them. These can have great effects for you. However, there is often great synergy between items themselves. For example, there is an owl that hoots ever so often. His hoot acts as a small-scale "blank", which clear bullets from the screen. By itself, it's so-so (though great for the final bit of the final boss). But if you get an item that adds effects to blanks, it becomes uber-powerful. For example, there is a necklace which sets everyone on fire every time a blank is fired off. Good times!

 

There are RNG events in the game as well. Most of them offer the opportunity to get more guns, and some of them are just hilarious. My favorite is probably Brother Albern, who asks absurdly simple questions, offering treasure as a reward (and he looks completely puzzled when you answer his questions correctly). There are also random statues to which you can pray throughout the gungeon. None of these are guaranteed, but all of them are worth trying out at least once. There is an item called junk that is given to you if you destroy treasure chests. However, sometimes the junk can be sentient. Collect enough junk, and it will evolve over time. Evolve it enough, beat the game, and the junk (now called Sir Junkan) even gets its own ending screen. The care here is fantastic.

 

Bosses are thoroughly enjoyable. Even in a bad run, it's fun to try your best against fate as you stack up against, say, the Kill Pillars with your starting weapon. But the game is also kind to poorer players (like me). You can exploit "rainbow runs" to guarantee top flight guns and items, but only one per level. All in all, it's very solid.

 

So, why did the plat suck? RNG, of course. The "poor decision" to which I referred earlier was a series of quests which unfortunately must be done in order. Had these quests run in parallel, it would have been so much better. It wouldn't had subtracted any difficulty from the game. It simply would have reduced grinding time. But, on the plus side, I did manage to fill the enemy section of my Ammonomicon, most of the weapon/item section, and see every single area and every single event in the game (some of the weapons are a real pain to get, though). Another annoyance was the Black Market. This is an RNG event, but for whatever reason, it simply would not appear for me. Ultimately, I gave up on it for many months, before finally coming back and finding it. And of course, in true RNG fashion, I then found it twice more. Good times?

 

But anyway, I can't praise this game enough. I think I left it off my top 10 list due to the fact that I hadn’t completed the plat,but it probably deserves a place. The devs certainly earned a purchase of Exit the Gungeon from this one. 

 

Happy gaming!

Way Of The Samurai 4

Platinum Trophy

(wow, very fantasy name, such original)

 

I always wanted to play a Way of The Samurai game since PS2, but I never managed to find one until I found a used copy of WoTS4 in a flea market.

I gave a peek inside the manual and the disc, and looks like the original owner was disappointed with this game, maybe he played it once and sold it instantly.
Or maybe he was a trophy hunter too?

 

Because I enjoyed this game, you can customize swords, styles, guns and even recluting pupils to your dojo.
Lots of dresses, kimono and accessories if you want to look good (and yes, there are neko ears of course. Every samurai had them in 19th century).
And what I liked is there is more than one ending to achieve, based on your choices, but basically 80% of trophies are an absolute grind to some players.

 

For example, one trophy is gained when you master all moves with a stance. To get them, you need a book so you can learn that style.
But with that stance there is more than one book, and you need different playthroughs (and a daily prayer to the RNG god) to have all of these books with this specific stance.
Once you have all of them, you have to learn all moves. If you are lucky you can use a scroll to learn instantly one of them, but to increase difficulty of this task, your style must be on a particular rank if you want this scroll to be used properly. Scrolls are left usually by powerful enemies or you can buy them at the casin...
 

...are you still there?...you're not sleeping, aren't you? Fine.

 

Oh, and did I mention that some styles had hidden moves too? Unfortunately, there is no Konami code to have it instantly, but you have to find a particular sword and equip it to read the requirements to unlock it. This means usually you have to start another playthrough to get this sword, and some of them will show up only on harder difficulties.

And...some styles have more than one stance, just because this trophy seemed to easy to achieve without this last thing.

There are 12 trophies just about stances, so if you are looking for an easy plat, wait for next Sunday.

 

My first trophy was achieved on June 2019, so it's almost 3 years before the plat.
I have a lot of patience, and I wasn't scared by the requirements above, but I needed definitely more than one break before putting this disc again and plat WoTS.
I admit I found this trophy list challenging, except for 100 girls and runnin' trophy, about a really boring minigame you have to complete 100 times.
In my opinion it is a minigame maybe fun to watch, but not to play.

 

Edit: I never count or care about milestones, but feel free to celebrate with me my 50th platinum.

#90

Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon

Party like it's 2024

 

I'm willing to bet that nobody really cares about specific platinum placements, but the Spyro games being #86, #88 and #90 on my list is an ode to the Crash games being #30, #32 and #34 as well. On a deeper thought it would also be spiritually connected to Marvel's Spider-Man being #60 just like how Uncharted 3 is #20, both a first and third entry in an Insomniac and Naughty Dog series sharing the 0 digit on their platinum number. Maybe it's all just an unnecessary thought, but in the end it's good to know how far you've come as platinum progress goes.

Platinum #154 - Marvel's Spider-man Remastered

65.74% - Common

From the moment I got myself a PS5, I knew that I wanted the remastered Marvel's Spider-man from ps4 to be my first platinum on this console. This was my 6th time playing it and while I used the auto pop from my last saved file, I still finished it till the end. I didn't know that this game could look and play even better thanks to the higher resolution and 60fps that really makes a big difference. After playing it through this performance, I don't see myself ever going back to the old version. It's quite impressive to see how big of a leap this generation is so far in comparison to the last one, which makes me excited for all the possibilities we can get in the future. 
As for the game, it's still fantastic. This might be my favorite exclusive out of all to be honest. Spider-man has always been an important figure for me and seeing the take Insomniac went it actually made it one of my favorite presentations. It treats the character with respect and gives it a personal story that is great to watch. Same think goes with other characters like Aunt May, Miles Morales, or Doctor Octopus, who is done probably the best in this game. The most impressive thing is the fluid combat system and fun swinging. I went back to some old Spider-man games and none of them felt as fluid as this one in terms of combat. There are a lot of variety of combos, and it is always fun to execute them. Swinging felt as fun as ever and whoever decided to have a music to accompany the swinging sections is a king. 
As to some flaws, I can probably nitpick a different use of lighting in this remaster in scenes that shifts the tone, like when Doc Octopus is trying the arms for the first time. The stealth sections with non-Spider-man characters were never my favorite, but they are not awful, and I was glad that Peter still disappearing randomly from the celling in that Mary Jane section at the train station is still there, because it gives a chuckle every time I see it. What I still insist on not being a nitpick is Peter's new face. I got used to it over time, but it still looks like a knock off Tom Holland and he looks way too young for his age in the game. The actor does look relatively older in real life and the face capture somehow makes him look so young, unless it was intentionally done by Insomniac. The moment that finally cemented that the previous face was superior was the scene at the end with Doctor Octopus and Aunt May. I challenge anyone to look at the side-by-side comparison and tell me that the new face looked better than the former, because I will disagree with you in the strongest way possible. Just seeing the variety of emotions on the older face made it clear what looked better. I still don't buy the reasoning behind the change, cause there are a lot of questions you can counter that. Nonetheless, it didn't look terrible, and this is the face we are gonna get moving forward. My hope is that they will make him look up to his age and that the face capture will allow the actor to go for more variety of emotions. 
Does that one major issue tarnish my entire experience? Hell no, cause that would be stupid, and it is something I can live with. The remaster is absolutely worth the money, as a lot of genuine work was put into this that makes the overall product even better. I love this game with all my Spider fandom in me and I could not be happier with the final result. Replaying the game now makes it even better and I will probably do that a lot more. I am very curious what the sequel has in store and I am hoping for something truly.......amazing!

#28: Marvel’s Spider-Man

 

 

I’ve had this game for a few years now, but for some reason I kept putting it off. I love Marvel and Spider-Man, but for some reason it wasn’t until now that I got around to playing it. Anyway, this game’s biggest strength is easily the effortless web swinging around NYC that Insomniac managed to pull off. Combat was also fun for the most part, though fighting the same type of enemies throughout the game did start to wear on me by the end. The story was fantastic, with the best version of Doc Oc that I’ve ever seen. 
 

The biggest issue I had with the game was easily the MJ and Miles stealth sections. I absolutely hate forced stealth sections in games where getting caught results in a game over or in this case a mission failed. Thankfully the checkpoints are generous so it never felt like torture. Other than that though, I had a blast with Marvel’s Spider-Man, and I’m glad to be able to check this one off my backlog.
