Platinum 340: Ratchet and Clank 3 (vita)

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 8:10

Definitely one of my favorite Ratchet amd Clank games. Very straightforward, but a guide does help with the typical skill points and rare bolts. Overall the game was just as fun as I remembered on the PS2, but be prepared for a slight grind when upgrading weapons and the 10 million bolts. Psnprofiles has a great suggestion for getting the bolts.

"Farewell, good hunter."

 

I never thought I will ever reach 90 platinums and much less would I know that Bloodborne would be my 90th plat! Bloodborne is one of my favorite games of all time, I can easily get immersed on its world and play it for hours never getting bored, by far one of the greatest experiences I had playing a videogame, and that's why Bloodborne deserved to be my 90th plat, its crude and unforgiving world is just perfect, the bosses are brutally good and their themes are just perfect, the characters and their quests are good and those endings damn all of them are amazing. Same goes for The Old Hunters DLC, playing the DLC was just as good as the main game, a bit short in my opinion despite this, the rest was perfect. I was expecting a bit more of a challenge with this plat, originally I planned on doing 3 playthroughs to extend this plat but due some lack of time on my personal life I wasn't able to, but still I played a good 70 hours this masterpiece. 

 

All I can say is that Bloodborne is one of my favorites of all time and getting its platinum was a pleasant but cruel (and fun) journey!

That 100 is closer than ever, can't be happier!

Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls

 

 

 Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls

 

Trophy Rarity: 19.57%

 

Acquired all trophies.

 

 

 

                    Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls is a crossover game between Hyperdimension Neptunia and Sega Hard Girls. Sega Hard Girls is an anime made by ASCII and Sega where the main cast are anthropomorphized Sega consoles, not unlike the Hyperdimension Neptunia games. In a nearly destroyed world, IF travels to find an ancient library that can control the world's history. Not long before she finds the library, she saves a girl mysteriously falling from the sky named Hatsumi Sega, who has amnesia and goes by Segami for the whole game. After finding the library and meeting Histoire, IF and Segami find out that time is unstable and history is erasing itself, so they must travel back to key points in history that often incude the Neptunia characters fighting their SeHa Girls counterparts to weaken Time Eater.

 

                    If you're familiar with the main Neptunia games, then you'll feel right at home playing this game. It's mostly the same, you move around an open plane and form basic formations that can give you stat boosts and make widespread attacks a joke, but it has a few "new" features as well that does make it feel a little different until you stop to think about it. This time your actions fill up a bar and will fill at a different rate depending on which action you use. Gone are the heavy, normal, and break attacks from previous games, you only have basic attacks but you can do a lot of them if you built your character right. There's also a fever mode, but it's just a glorified timed EXE gauge to me. You can also jump to grab items in battle, such as hearts/stars that will replenish your health or SP (I rarely got this to happen). If you like the battle system from most main Neptunia games, you'll probably like it here too.

 

                    The missions are the main mode of the game. You'll find the story and side-quests by doing missions. I imagine it was developed this way because it's on the Vita, so story events are broken into bite sized pieces and are perfect to play in short bursts. 

 

                    This game is far from perfect though. There's literally only a handful of dungeons in this game, and most of them are from previous games. Granted, they are altered in an interesting way and are given new paths to explore! It would've been awesome if it had more unique dungeons, I admit I spent a little too much time enjoying Toyopolis. Another thing that is unique to this game in the franchise are collectables. In every dungeon floor, there are silver medals and a baseball. Collecting these will unlock some things I think, I was unlocking things all over the place so I didn't notice what I got from these besides a few events. I didn't enjoy collecting these, I felt that they were completely unnecessary and just padded out the game time. The baseballs are easy to find, but the silver medals are small and can easily blend into the background, I'm ashamed to say I bypassed several that were obvious in hindsight. It's a good thing all of the dungeons are small.

 

                    I found the story to be just ok. It's just enough to make me wonder what will happen next and want to kick Time Eater's ass, which I suppose is good enough. I don't think IF was written as well as she could of been for a protagonist though. She is passive for most of the story and tries not to interfere with changing history, even sometimes giving an "I don't give a F" attitude. A LOT of her engagement plays off of Neptune. Both IF and Segami usually berate her, sometimes a little too much and for no good reason. They're both savages towards Neptune at times. Segami is kind of a foil to IF, wanting to take action and create a better future.

 

                    I have to admit that I like the SeHa Girls the fact that their designs heavily reference the platform they're representing. I especially like how Saturn has all of the colors from the different models of the system, and her hair is shaped like NiGHTS/Reala from NiGHTS into Dreams. I love how Dreamcast looks like Ulala from Space Channel 5. I like how Game Gear wears a huge hoodie and gets tired very easily. Segami is heavily based off of Sonic the Hedgehog and the Sega logo, which I find very fitting given her role and attitude. References like these are what hooked me into the Neptunia games in the first place, and I love to see it represented so well with the SeHa Girls and the story.

 

                    Out of all of the spin-offs, this is one of the better ones. It's no 4 Goddesses Online, but this game is still worth playing if you're a fan.

Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5)

Never Fade Away

 

Really glad I waited to play this after the game was fixed...and on PS5. 

 

Had a blast with this. At first, I thought I made a mistake playing this as...up until you start the Heist in Act 1, and you just start feeling the tension build, I was kind of bored. But once the heist happens and the game opens up, it's charm really sets in. 

 

Great characters, particularly loved Judy and Panam (Romanced Panam and her ending is the one I chose as my "main ending"), and Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand was a lovable dick. Him and V had some fun interactions. The story was pretty good, albeit predictable. Gameplay was solid...though let's be honest, it feels like a typical FPS in a lot of ways...I don't think this was a fraction of what CDPR originally hyped up...their ambitions were greater than what we got. 

 

Not much I didn't like. I think the driving mechanics were piss poor. There's this weather effect that happens in the game were a sand storm takes over the whole city and everything just turns orange and you can't see 2 feet in front of you, I hated that, and like Fallout, I hate weight limits on items I can carry...nothing worse than getting over encumbered and having to stop what doing to sell things. Oh and the excessive amount of Gigs and NCPD Scanner missions were a bit much...but it was probably more on me for not doing more of them as I played through the story, so I was stuck doing 95% of them at the end. 

 

The game have a horrible launch, and I still don't think this game is anywhere near what CDPR had in mind while making it...but what we got was an enjoyable Sci-Fi RPG (which we don't have enough of), and if you were on the fence about it before...the game is officially "fixed" as of Patch 1.5. There's the occasional glitch here and there, but nothing was like all the meme's floating around. 

 

Apparently the first expansion isn't coming until next year though...so I guess we'll see if I want to come back to this or not...muscle memory will be shot by then.

I bought the Ultimate Edition now that it is on sale. Really enjoyed replaying LiS & LiS Before the Storm. True Colors on the other hand i did not enjoy one bit. I found it even worse than LiS 2 and i was very happy when it was over. Trophies are exactly the same in all LiS games, collect all the stuff and beat the game. Very easy platinums. After True Colors i can confidently say i wont be looking forward to another LiS game. The last 2 have been very average at best. Thankfully LiS & LiS BtS carried me through my trilogy playthrough the games =)

Dragonball Z: Kakarott (PS4)

Enjoyment: 7/10

Difficulty: 2/10 

Time: 28 Hours

 

Finally got around to this in my backlog after buying it on Amazon when it had a big discount.

Overall, this game heavily relies on you being a fan of Dragonball Z to enjoy and put up with its shortcomings.

 

The good: The main voice actors are all here voicing our favorite characters and the game is quite faithful to the animated series. Gameplay wise you do get enjoyment in lauching your Kamehamehas or Spirit Bombs. You really do get a kick playing as the various characters. Game is really straight forward and easy to Plat.

 

The Not so Good: After playing open world games like Horizon Forbidden West, DBZ Kakarot really shows its issues. For a game that came out in 2020 and playing on a ps5, I could not believe the game stutters or sometimes freeze when the game auto saves! Or when you launch the Ultimate Spirit Bomb the frame rate takes a dump. Other than that side missions are shallow with your typical fetch missions. Game also re used assets fighting the same enemies and bosses again.

 

Overall, is this game terrible? No not really but if you are a fan of DBZ im sure you will enjoy it though don't pay full price. Buy it on discount.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5) 

 

 

 

This served as my introduction to the Guardians and I was loving it ^^

The characters are very well done and you really feel the team bonding and growing a lot over the adventure.

The game also gave me Mass Effect vibes a bit and I loved how the party kept nagging and making fun of me whenever I went exploring side paths for collectibles cx

Not the biggest review for this one but I had a lot of fun with this one even though it doesn't get the best reviews. Combat and gameplay is something different which feels refreshing. Atleast it's not your typical FPS with guns but this time your waving a lot around with your hands and doing flashy moves to kill enemies.

 

The main story is a little bit weird especially when you're nearing the end and that killed my fun with a -1 because I didn't really care about the main character you need to save. The side missions however were a lot more interesting especially when your a fan of japanese stuff. It has pretty much everything in it. From little Kappas to big ass yokai bosses. It felt like I was back in Nioh with all these japanese terms.

 

Overall the collectables weren't too bad. Considering I got the game finished in 2 days and never had to use youtube is great as well.

Someone made a very nice interactive map so when I had that open on a different screen it was a breeze to blast through all the stuff you needed.

 

Overall a lot of fun with this one and I didn't expect to get it finished this fast.

 

Up next? Probably the new bugsnax DLC that I didn't see coming.

Platinum #713: Mafia - Definitely an Edition

 

 

Difficulty: 5.5/10

Playtime: 20-30 hours

 

Buongiorno princhipessa! (That's a mafia movie reference, right?!?) Today's introductory preface will be a little more utilitarian and/or declamatory than is usually germane to my namby pamby rambly nonsense. Now, I actually played the original Mafia way back in the day... it remains one of those truly rare games from back then I never completed. I actually even made it through the race section that dashed so many dreams of cannoli-takery that were not to be, and just dropped it shortly after, for reasons that elude me. Guess me ol' noggin scheduled that negligible nugget of information for DELETION to make way for important big brain stuff like Insert Thing I Also Forgot Here. In the meantime, a chance dalliance with its sequel proved a right treat, and when they announced a remaster of the original, I figured it was a good chance to close the book on an unfinished story.

This, of course, brings me to my belaboured point as I address the headless horse in the room: for reasons that remain deeply personal, I cannot in good conscience refer to this as a "Definitive Edition." You see... the only real lasting take-away I had from the original was my introduction to the music of Django Reinhardt, the greatest guitarist to ever breathe carbon dioxide (he does with one deflicted hand what I could not hope to do with a thousand), and specifically his instrumental masterpiece "Minor Swing", which well and truly ignited the dormant love I had subconsciously developed for pre-'50s music growing up on the Golden Age of Animation as I did, and my life's been all the better for it ever since.

In removing it, they not only potentially deprive some like-minded soul of the same transformative experience, but also contravene the very point of a "Definitive Edition." The only thing definite here is that they should have opened that fat ol' music licensing piggybank from asshole to appetite... it's not as if 2K don't have microtransactery blood money to spare. Addition by subtraction isn't really a thing, guys. I was on the fence on the issue before, but this cinches it: from this moment on, any "definitive" game that deigns to alter or remove content intrinsic to the original experience shall henceforth suffer the irredeemably ignoble (and, let's be honest, contrivedly clunky!) appellation of "Definitely an Edition," that all may know a pretender at even the most cursory glance. So it is written, and so shall it be law. And you'll be seeing a few more of them this year...

Now that my consternation has been noted in no uncertain terms... I'm happy to say that this aside, Mafia is unequivocally a great game experience. It's a lovingly detailed '30s mob 'em up sandbox... or maybe quicksandbox, because that heavy ass atmosphere will suck you right in there, wiseguy. I guess comparisons to an L.A. Noire for BAAAAAAAD GUUUUUUYSSS are inevitable, but it'd hardly be fair to either party; they've both got enough of their own thing going. Mafia's thing is its heavy focus on simulation as it applies to physics and combat... but you know, I always thought that was a cuter gimmick in theory than in execution, so I'm not all that fussed that they made them largely optional in the remake, y'know? Thankfully, it's a game that consistently proves such gimmickry a crutch it does not even need.
 

The story is pretty much your standard stash of all those things that makes it feel so good to be a gangster: honor among thieves, trucks with poorly secured cargo, dishonor among thieves, kisses of death, tasty pasta sauce recipes... da woiks, doll! Rags to riches to witness protection schnookdom, and all that jazz. The storytelling is a little disorganized (ironic, right?) and scattershot, but manages to provide the odd moment of poignancy despite a rushed ending. Filled with exciting set pieces, the missions vary in length and complexity, and rarely ever outstay their welcome... very little to be found of the bloated self-indulgence endemic to open world mission design of our time, and it's refreshing beyond measure. The voice directors must also be commended for their concerted effort in avoiding cartoonish stock mob voices, see? Speaking of, the voice cast is miked up so close it'd make Karen Carpenter do a double take... doubly impressive given she rarely needed to do more than one. Once you notice the endless onslaught of audible intakes of breath, sniffing, and wheezing, it'll distract you to no end.

The gameplay is straight solid, ace. The aforementioned simulatory aspects carry over to combat as well, as your array of swell gats function in a realistic manner... meaning you won't be able to easily snipe some goombah with a pistol from fifty paces off. You gotta work a bit to get within the proper range and even then, you've really got to learn to compensate for the iffy recoil issues of those halcyon days of lowered absorption. It's actually pretty satisfying to learn, and really sets it apart from your average shooter. It also makes covering a truly indelible mechanic, consistently rewarding the methodical Michaels over the, ahem, spontaneous Sonnys of the world... capisce?

The "tug of war" approach to handling vehicles, too, is a unique experience with a great sense of progression. You have to "fight" the physics a little bit, even when you get good, and it makes it all the more fulfilling to learn. It also makes car chases more engrossing because you really can't afford to go through the motions as much as in a game with more forgiving handling. You gotta make ready to take a corner a long while beforehand... stuff like that. The added (removed?) frictional challenges of toggling constant rainy weather mode just adds to the experience. Honestly, I just haven't so unabashedly enjoyed a game's pure kineticicism like this in a good long time.

The Hunt is also a fine one that rarely gets in the way of things. Most of the collectibles are perfectly trackable in-game, and even appear on the minimap if you're close enough. More importantly, in all earnesty, I would recommend everyone do the game in one playthrough on Classic. It's one of the most fair and rewarding "ultra hard" difficulties I've ever come across; most of the positive points previously posited are derived from my Classic playthrough; indeed, you can almost haplessly blunder your way through like Fredo on Easy. I definitely feel like I lost out by being "intimidated" into two playthroughs, and not only in terms of saving time.... added difficulty really does make it a better game. On a similar note, I also (mostly) heartily recommend people do the trophy-irrelevant side missions, and not only because the ultimate reward is being turned into a literal Reservoir Dog, but on the strength of their scope and variety, complementing the story missions beautifully.

Lastly, I would be remiss not to shamelessly espouse the virtues of the aforementioned rainy weather overlay... it's one of the best I've seen in any game. I done did me a Nedflandersian purple drape scream when I unwittingly stumbled across the painting that toggles it in Free Play, having long since resigned myself to it being exclusively set dressing for Story Mode. Gotta tell ya, farting about Lost Heaven watching shiny old cars create endless rain slicks and vapour trails underneath skies of gray casts the kind of mesmerizing transportive spell only games can summon, and made the ol' collectible chase a right treat. Pennies from Heaven, for you and me...
 

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to play a mafia game like this. It's not so much superior to Mafia II as it is a complementary experience, being more linear in nature. I am beyond pleased I will get the opportunity to stack it twice down the line, as it is truly one of those games whose stackage I would desire, not least because I'll get the chance to do it all in one playthrough next time. Hell, I'd probably replay it from time to time regardless of stackability; rare praise indeed. Despite the aforementioned negative issues previously defined, a game as good as this is an offer you really shouldn't refuse... not least because doing so would justify your being repeatedly beaten with a sack of doorknobs in a Nevada desert somewhere. It could have been anything that it wanted to be... and in the grand pantheon of mafia games, this gets dazzlingly close to the top of the world, ma. Certainly worth making eyes at...

 

Final Score: 8.5/10

Platinum #120 - The Sims 4

 

 

 Ultimate Sim Guru - Earn All Trophies.

225,508 Owners - 16,767 Achievers for a percentage of 7.44% (average completion; 11.68%)

 

 

Enjoyment; 5/10

Difficulty; 1/10

Trophies; 9/10 (honestly, this is near perfect - varied requirements, unique tiles, no BS)

What does Woohoo mean; 10/10

 

Sorry guys, I can barely claim credit for this one so it's not going to be a long post.

 

The Sims 4, the fourth main installment in EA's unique life simulator series, was one of PS Plus' free games for the month of February in 2020 (alongside the Bioshock Collection and Firewall: Zero Hour), which is how it ended up in my backlog. I have maintained an ethical financial boycott of the publisher since 2005 (Burnout 3, if you want to know) meaning that I refuse to acquire their games in such a way as to have my money fall in their hands, but free and used games are fair play - hence why I figured I'd boot this one up during a quiet moment this past week.

 

 

The Sims hardly needs an introduction, and for Trophy hunters, it barely requires playing; thanks to a sharing feature that lets you, essentially, download full save files from other uses, with a good written or video guide you can pop the Platinum in under two hours. I messed about and took a bit longer, spreading play time out across multiple days, but the estimate honestly isn't too far off. This is totally Leaderboard-legal too; the sharing feature, called The Gallery, is a central part of the game and the developers heavily encourage its use for regular play. As such, because it is an intended function and part of the game, it's a-okay for PSNP Leaderboard purposes. The fact that these downloaded save files don't disable Trophies is simply a nice bonus for Trophy hunters, and it turns a 30 to 40 hour Plat into a more or less trivial experience.

 

For what it's worth, this is an excellent list; no collectibles, no exceedingly unfair requirements, just a collection of trinkets that can be reasonably achieved through mostly regular play, with many Trophies on the list incentivizing you to explore the various skill trees and some interesting scenarios. All the tiles and titles are unique and have had some thought put into them

 

I used the video guide below which, apart from actually rather humorous and engaging, was completely fool-proof. Give it a look if you're interested in seeing just how much save-scumming (if you can call it that) is involved;

 

Spoiler

 

 

If this has whet your appetite to play the game yourself, be warned; the game runs extremely poorly on PS5 (it was unplayable for months after a patch borked the game), and I can only imagine how much worse your experience will be if you dare chuck the disc into your PS4. That had better be a used disc from a local store, by the by.

 

As for me, I think I'll take a few days off and move on to Everybody Has Gone To The Rapture up next, which should be just as straightforward a Platinum. But then considering the fact that I Platted Far Cry 2 and GTA IV earlier in the year, maybe I deserve to take it easy, huh?
