Most Recent Platinum

[Phantochi]

 #248 - Dark Souls 3

 

 

After hours of going up and down the stairs of Anor Londo, i finally got it. Actually i was holding this one for my #250 milestone, but i ended up losing count of how many proofs i gave to Yorshka. Yikes.

 

Overall, the community is easy going and the players are kind to one another. You will find yourself being helped throughout the game with powerful npc’s and fair mechanics. Other players will also be available to be summoned and will protect you from harm. This is a game for people who want to take it easy and enjoy themselves.

One might say that the land is peaceful, and its inhabitants kind.

.. and the combat is just as fluid as your tears will be.

Platinum #117 and 100% DLC

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

 

 

 

 

Personal Difficulty: 6/10 for base game, 7/10 for DLC

Fun: 7/10

Time to Platinum + 100%: 40 hours (33 hrs base game, 3 hrs for Reverie DLC, 4 hrs for Resurrection DLC)

PSNProfiles Rarity: 10.43% Platinum, 2.60% for 100% completion

 

A brilliant reboot of Castlevania that takes a completely different direction in gameplay compared to the classic titles. The side-scrolling action platformers and metroidvania gameplay is replaced with a 3D hack and slash, very similar to the original God of War games. Some bosses play out like bosses from Souls games (where a more patient and methodical approach is required as opposed to mashing the attack button) and a handful of bosses are even heavily inspired from Shadow of the Colossus (more on this later). The game comes with its flaws though, hence the 7/10 fun rating, which I'll break down below.

 

The good:

• Interesting, captivating, lore-heavy story. Not surprising considering Kojima Productions were involved.
• Incredible graphics for a 2010 game on the PS3 that hold up quite well to today's standards.
• Great voice acting and cutscenes.
• Satisfying combat (where it works properly, I'll explain more below).
• A lot of different environments and enemies that require different approaches; some enemies are weaker/more resilient to certain attacks or items which brings in more strategy rather than just mindless hack and slash.
• A lot of interesting and cool puzzles to solve.

The bad:

• Performance. The game is supposed to run at 1080p, 60fps. The amount of frame drops and slowdown I had almost ruined the experience, resulting in many dropped inputs or input lag. After locking the PS3's video output to 720p, the game ran slightly better although performance issues still popped up but not as frequently. This definitely made some points of the game harder than it needed to be.
• The camera...dear God the camera is horrible. You have no control over it, and the sudden change in camera angles when walking/fighting in certain areas is a big issue.
• The three boss fights in the base game inspired by Shadow of the Colossus. They're tedious, boring and completely break the flow of the game. Not to mention the climbing mechanics in the game are incredibly slow and falling off means you're pretty much starting from scratch.
• While the combat is satisfying, the controls are quite loose (think original God of War from 2005 but worse). Coupled with frame drops and dropped inputs, you can see why this could lead to some frustration.
• The DLCs felt incredibly rushed. The final fight in the second DLC against The Forgotten One on Paladin difficulty...let's just say most of my time in the second DLC were spent here.
• The DLC is region-locked, despite there being no region stacks on the PS3. I have the US version disc and bought the first DLC from the Australian store not knowing they're not compatible, so I had to make a US account to purchase the DLC again.

Overall, I'd say it's still a very good game, despite its flaws. This is the sort of game that would greatly benefit from a remake, but we all know Konami has pretty much forgotten about Castlevania. Recommend to anyone who loves a good action game and a good challenge!

Hot Wheels Unleashed (PS5)

 

 

I enjoyed my time with this one, it's a really fun arcade racer to zone out with. Some of the time trials were a bit grueling though, I lost count of how many times I missed the mark by like 0.1 seconds lmao. Once I got my hands on the legendary hot dog car "Street Wiener" it was a bit more manageable though as that is supposedly one of the best cars in the game haha. Now for the PS4 version!

That was a very nice artistic experience, i really like the hand draw black and white hand  environments and that fantastic sound effects. Color was only used in some key moments which was very nice touch along with the handling of the theme of ''unfulfilled promises"

 

Spoiler

Hope the developers have fixed their relation with their mother and Teddy a big thank you.

Third LEGO game that's not by TT Games.

The building in this game is like RL but the Test Robot for some of those building spots is a damn idiot.

#40 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Difficulty: 5/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

Time for platinum: 27 hours

 

Had great time playing Vice City after so many years. A bit frustrating at times because of the camera angles and not being able to swim but overall as fun as I remember it. 

 

There is one trophy that will test your patience though at least in the PS4 version of the game. You need to reach the 'Godfather' criminal rating and that will take you around 4~5 hours of boring and pointless grinding exploding helicopters like crazy over and over.

 

Just after getting the platinum I jumped to GTA: San Andreas right away and a few hours later I found out the game was released today (October 26th) on PS2 18 years ago. I thought it was a very nice coincidence ?

Tribes Of Midgard

66th Ultimate Saga

Fun game, slightly annoying trophy list. I played most of it alone and it was obvious that the game was not intended to be played that way, at least not in the basic Saga mode, as you often feel like you need to split into several characters to get everything done in time. Despite that I enjoyed it, decent gameplay, good looks with fluid animations, different classes, some viking stuff in the background, crafting, farming and progression that made sense, with some tower defense elements attached. I enjoyed survival mode more though, no mechanics in place that frequently force you to interrupt what you are doing to defend the village or hunt something. The only downside was that playing with randoms was a mess, though I got lucky and managed to knock out most saga trophies in one go so I did not have to spend much time with others, also getting stuck was a problem several times. It does well as a singleplayer game, though I would recommend to play it with a team. The trophy list was needlessly grindy so it took me longer than it needed to, but I have faced worse grinds so I won't hold it against the game too much.

As a huge fan of the GOTG movies I LOVED every single bit of this amazingly polished super hero game. Great humor. Great visuals. Great soundtrack.

Satisfaction: 7

 

solid remaster of a good game, atleast now the majority of bugs have been fixed. it's not too difficult and it's pretty great all things considered. The 60 fps option makes driving feel better then it ever has in the past, and it doesn't matter if your a veteran or not the guide has everything you need to dust this off. it's part of PS Extra and was recently added, scoop this up it's fun.
