 #59 Zero Time Dilemma 

 

 

Difficulty: 1/10

Enjoyment: 7/10
Rarity: 66.06% (Common)

Finally finished this trilogy. The series had its ups and downs but overall I enjoyed it. I didn't like how the story was structured in this game though. Switching between 3 teams was fun but it could have been handled better or something. At least we upgraded from the still image cutscenes of a 3D model in VLR to actual animated scenes. The ending could have been better also but that's a story for another time lol.

#44 - Final Fantasy XV

 

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 10/10

Time to Platinum: 50 hours

 

I bought the Royal Edition and enjoyed every single second of playtime. Despite the controversial release the game is 100% worth it at the moment and I am looking forward to the new DLC next year. Currently working on the DLC for 100%, if you have been thinking about getting this game now is the best time since it's also on sale (EU).

 

 

Wait, there's going to be more DLC?? I really need to get back to this game. I loved the combat, but too lazy to get on lol.

 #3- UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE (PS3)

 Platinum  

 

Difficulty: 4.5/10

Enjoyment: 8.5/10

Time Taken: 4 Weeks, 1 Day, 6 Hours

Rarity: 3.4% Ultra Rare (PSN) / 19.47% Rare (PSNProfiles)

Hardest Trophy: Charted!- Crushing

 

Being primarily an XBox player, I was interested in the Uncharted series due to my naive belief that it looked similar to Gears of War in terms of gameplay. While it shares some similarities, this felt much different to Gears. On top of the fun gameplay, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has a much better element of level exploration. The characters are more interesting and the story is also much better. The series is something I always said I'd buy a PlayStation for and now that I have completed the very first one, I am eager to push ahead with the series. I had a great time overall with this game and since I hear that the later games are even better, I'm very excited about it! 

That said, I do have some gripes. The environments are pretty enough but overall the game looks a bit dated. Drake's aiming often felt not quite right and hit detection was quite dodgy at times. At Crushing difficulty, the enemies were stupidly bullet-spongy while at the same time I died in like two hits. Now maybe some may consider this "fairly challenging" but I thought it was pretty cheap. Another annoyance to me is that given the game's emphasis on climbing, trying to jump between ledges more often than not resulted in death when Drake should have made it very easily. Although dying doesn't incur much of a penalty due to the rather generous checkpoint system, it got pretty frustrating.

Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my first adventure with Nathan Drake and I look forward to playing the rest.

 

On a separate note, even though it is pretty unimpressive given that I have only three games listed, I think it's pretty cool to have my completion up in the 90th percentile. I'm going to try and keep it this way. The reason it took me so long to plat this game is because it was the first game I started on my PS3 but then moved on to the others before coming back around to this one. From now on, I will try to add only the game I am currently trying to complete. It will never hit 100% because I'm not going to bother with some DLC/ multiplayer trophies, but it'll be a cool challenge to keep my completion % as high as possible.

 #102 - Detective Gallo

 

 

 

Thorn
Don't acknowledge any merits, unless they're your own.

 

Enjoyment: 7/10

Difficulty: 2/10

 

I am a massive point-and-click fan so, when I saw a new one released in the PS Store, I had to grab it.

I decided to concentrate on Assassin's Creed Origins before I started earning "easy" platinums again, so this was installed on my dash and ready to go.

I wouldn't say I disliked it, but I found Detective Gallo, as a character, to be overly smug, somewhat annoying and repetitive.

The game was decent, though. It gives a little nod to The Wardrobe (by placing the main character Skinny in a wardrobe), which I thought was a nice touch.

In comparison to The Wardrobe, I would say Detective Gallo definitely falls short. Plus, the trophies are more of a pain in the arse.

If you want to do this in one playthrough, you have to sit and play the game in its entirety without pausing or saving, plus complete it within a time limit.

I managed it in just under three hours and got the platinum on my first run, so it wasn't all that bad.

If you like point-and-clickers, I'd 100% recommend playing The Wardrobe before you play this.

 

 

 #103 - Code: Realize - Bouquet of Rainbows

 

 

 

C: R Master 
Obtain all trophies

 

Enjoyment: 6/10

Difficulty: 1/10

 

I have to be honest, I didn't even read the whole story.

I followed a guide and I mostly skipped the walls of text and saved when the guide told me to.

It's all very simple and I have to give props to @Roughdawg4 for the flawless guide.

This game consists of Code: Realize - Guardian of Rebirth and Code: Realize - Future Blessings (both PS Vita games) bundled into one game for the PS4.

If anyone knows, can you please advise if the trophies stack for the two individual games on PS Vita?

If so, I'll probably buy them again and whizz through them on my Vita.

#135 - Danganronpa 2 : Goodbye Despair

Finally platinum after a long absence. Not because the game is bad, but because the island mode and magical miracle monomi are boring past hours of play and finally I got a day to have patience for these two modes! in the magical mode miracle monomi counts very much the luck factor because several items only appear certain level of difficulty and many of the times doesnt appear what annoys a little.
The island mode is basically the same as the first game and has to be passed several times.
There is also a mini game of pets that only serve to assign more monocoins which helps a lot! reminds me of the famous tamagotchi
Although i get annoyed with some things in my opinion it's a good game as the first.

Time to get some rest ?

Platinum 84 - Resistance: Burning Skies

 

A quick and easy plat! Story was bland and predictable but it is a solid FPS for the Vita (the best FPS on the Vita is Killzone: Mercenary imo) It’s not worth buying but it’s worth a rental or if it’s ever free on PS Plus it’d be a decent pickup. Shout out to @Zedd-man for the help on the online trophy! 

 

Platinum Difficulty: 2/10

Overall Score: 7/10

Time to complete: About 10 hours

The Vita games are two separate lists. I dunno why they made the PS4 have it own for both games, it kind of annoys me tbh lol. Better than shared, but seems like a rip off.

 Platinum #62

Tales of Grace f

 

Difficulty: 4/10 (with piggyback method) 

Enjoyment: 3/10

 

My second and probably the last for while Tales of game. After play Zestiria I thought give a second opportunity to Tales of and try with Grace f, and now I think it need another opportunity. ?

 #338- Yomawari:Night Alone

The Night Alone 
Earned all other trophies

 

This was a really neat Vita horror game. Some parts were a bit tricky to avoid enemies. You can't really fight them, and have to either hide or run away. Thankfully, it's a lot like Claire, where if you die, you keep any items you picked up. I don't know why they put a 50 hour trophy in the game, though.. 

 

 #339- Manual Samuel

HOLY FECES! 
Unlock all the Trophies in Manual Samuel

 

Amusing game whose premise kind of reminds me of one of the Bill and Ted movies. You die and are given a second chance at life by Death, but you have to operate manually for a day. Every button does something. To walk, you have to alternate the trigger buttons. Left and right arm actions are activated with the shoulder buttons. Every so often, your spine will break, and you have to press up on the D-pad to straighten up. And then you have to remember to breathe and blink, or you'll pass out/the screen will get too blurry to see what you're doing. 

 

It's very weird but a lot of fun and funny (watch out for them old ladies in the road!). But the time trials definitely required some practice.. Very little margin for error on most of them.

Yakuza kiwami 2.

Was fun as usual. I'm a major fan of Yakuza (I'm sure this will shock you to learn). I'm now patiently waiting for more games. The wait is so long usually, but Fist of the north star is a godsend.

Been thinking for months what to put on 250th milestone, why not plat them back to back...

 

#249 Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

One True King 
Awarded for achieving 100% completion.

 

 

 

 

As I have said lots of times, Suikoden II is and will always be my all time favorite game. So if there is any game out there that let you build kingdom from scratch and make you recruit ~100 characters, expect me to play it and enjoy it. Adding a bit of Betrayal is definitely an icing to the cake.

 

I have played Ni No Kuni and I really liked it, to the point that I didn't mind the RNG and the grind. I was somehow skeptical when I first saw Ni No Kuni II because they changed the gameplay and they removed the feature of putting monsters in your party. But when I learned about the build your castle from scratch and ~100 recruitable characters, that skepticism was replaced with excitement. I know I would probably biased by this one but I really enjoyed it even with it's flaws, and I really dunno, I really like Evan and Roland. My major gripe on this one is the plot though, I felt that it gave me that weird turn of events that somehow don't make sense. *shrug*.

 

Would definitely recommend and you don't even need to play the first game to enjoy and understand this game (just like Suikoden II ). One of my fave game this year and I would probably get back on this game to tackle the DLC.

#250 Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory

Perfect Hacker 
Collected all trophies.

 

 

Luckily I have decided to screenshot manually, the auto-screenshot was Wormon's behind

 

 

4/4 DigiPlats

 

Loved CyberSleuth and I was really excited when this game was announced. I didn't even watch the trailers/gameplay just to avoid a tiny bit of spoiler that I ended up to the point that I thought that the guy in the cover is the Villain  So glad that it had the same gameplay like in Cyber Sleuth. I find this game a bit more grindy though and the MP trophies quite more troublesome this time around. But luckily, I really didn't mind those since I enjoyed playing the game from start to end. I am also glad that they gave some love to Frontier and thank goodness for finally adding Shoutmon.

 

Would definitely recommend to anyone that likes the series or to anyone that wants to play a fun JRPG.

Nice! I'm about to start work on Okami myself.

[Brawler]

Platinum #93: Champion of Champions (Dissidia Final Fantasy NT)

 

 

I was pleasantly surprised with this game for the most part. I had heard mixed reviews as many people didn't like the change to the 3v3 format but I found it enjoyable. It adds an interesting element to online play for a fighter that isn't usually the norm and can only been seen in "party mode" or something of the like. Story-wise the game is rather lackluster but I expected that going in so I wasn't overly disappointed. If you're expecting more in terms of singleplayer content there really isn't much there for the most part which is a bit of a bummer. It certainly isn't lacking in the music department, though. There were a few tracks I would've liked to see but overall I was happy with what they chose to include. Overall I'd say I had fun with this game up until the treasure grind which is a bit of a slog and would recommend it to anybody who likes the Final Fantasy games. The combat takes some getting used to but once you get comfortable it's a good time.

 

Enjoyment: 7/10 (Primarily due to the online play)

Difficulty: 4/10 (Only difficult part I'd say is a couple of the summon battles can be annoying on hard/in the gauntlet)

#51 The Book of Unwritten Tales 2

 

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is plausibly the longest point-and-click adventure I have ever played. In the beginning, I chose to skip dialogs, but as I'd become invested in the story, I decided to enjoy it. The story is hilarious most of the time, but can be serious at times.

 

There are four characters you can play as; Princess Ivodora "Ivo" Eleonora Clarissa, Professor Wilbur "Wilbur" Weathervane, Captain Nathaniel "Nate" Bonnet and his sidekick Critter. Each of them has their own problems to solve.

 

The walkthrough on the site is thorough, so that it will net you all of the trophies in a single playthrough. This game is a must-play if you are a fan of the genre. Get it for cheap if you are still in doubt.

#297 - Heavy Rain (PS4)

 

Played this before on PS3, and as a result it wasn't as enjoyable since I already knew the whole story. Having to sit through various scenes several times, is a bit of a drag. If only technology where at a point where you could skip dialogues and cutscenes, oh wait....

 

Enjoyment: 7

Platinum #58 -  Shining Resonance Refrain

 

 

Pretty fun game overall, but not without its issues. I gotta admit, it was pretty fun to be able to transform into a dragon and just destroy things.   Excella was a pretty cool character as well.

#65 - Donut County

 

 

All Done 
Unlock all trophies.

 

I love this game! I had been following it since it was first revealed. I'm a bit sad that it wasn't longer, but I'm happy I got to experience it! I was also surprised that the trophy list wasn't all that challenging, as I was expecting the list to be somewhat similar to Katamari Forever, but with a personal touch to it. However, it is a pretty relaxing game, so I can see why they made the trophy list minimal. But anyway, I absolutely love this this game! I'll definitely replay levels here and there. Now if only Wattam would get a release date! ?

 #110 - Stardew Valley (played on Vita)

 

 

Interestingly enough, this is now my rarest platinum with 0.65% rarity, slightly less than half of the rarest before it.

 

Now this typically isn't the type of game I tend to play, but saw it for $14.99 USD on the Vita and said what the heck I'll go with it. I'll say this right at the beginning about this game and the platinum trophy in general: It's not for the faint of heart. I tried jumping straight into the game, having somewhat of an idea what to do, and while it can be done it cost me several hours of play time. To get the most of your time, you'll want to follow the Trophy Guide and the Stardew Valley Wiki, but it will still take many hours.

 

Sadly, Stardew Valley is a bit of what shall I say a minimalist game. Pretty much the only storyline you'll get from is your character gets a letter from their dying Grandpa and to open it when feeling overwhelmed by modern life. That time comes, you inherit Grandpa's old farm and you move in. After a brief introduction to the Mayor of the town, you're off on your own to run the farm, whether it be good, bad or ugly. There is no clear goal, although I guess repairing the Community Center for the Town, or siding with the Joja Company and turning the Community Center into their warehouse can be considered the end of the game even though the years continue to pass. There are good number of townspeople to interact with, but their dialogue is limited, and often times will tell you say the same whether you talk to them for the first time, or have maximum friendship. Each person has a set of events when your friendship reaches a certain level. These give some backstory on the character, and are generally well done, but sadly once the event is over its never referred to again. You're able to get married to some of the townspeople, but while their personality changes some, no one else really mentions your marriage. The festivals each month while interesting are less so after the first or second time attending.

 

Most of the trophies are straight forwards, such as making friends with people, shipping out crops from the farm and other goods you can forage outside. Others involve making money and lots of it, along with maximizing the skills you'll need as a farmer. The more obnoxious trophies such as collecting all the ites for the museum. You can find these artifacts and minerals from varying sources, but its all RNG based, and really no way to manipulate it, so the more you collect the more the frustration mounts trying to get the ones you need. The fishing mini game is also a source of frustration. You toss your line in the water, and when the fish bites, you have a green bar that increases in size based on your fishing level, that you need to keep the fish inside by pushing or not pushing . A good lot of the fish are easy to catch, but the most difficult can jump from the top of the screen to the bottom easily, and can often get away before you even get the bar back in position, similar to this video. Fish can also only be caught during certain seasons, at certain times and certain locations. This is where the trophy guide and wiki come in, since if you miss a fish and its one season only, you have to play a full game year to try again. By far the hardest trophy to get, and a possible platinum breaker (0.80% rarity) is completing the Journey of the Prairie King minigame without dying. The minigame itself is similar to Smash TV and the really old (1982) arcade game Robotron 2084. Using the left analog stick to move and the right to shoot in 8 directions, you have to complete 14 levels, with bosses on 5, 10 and 14. Now most of the problems arise from the enemy drops are RNG heavy, and you can possibly go one whole level without seeing a coin, used to buy permanent powerups, or items for temporary buffs. Enemy spawn locations and types are also randomized, and this can be problematic in the last few levels as the Imp type creatures could potentially spawn right on top of you.

 

Overall I wouldn't say this was a bad game, but I was really wish there was more to it. It would have been fun to see some of the other townspeople get married, and maybe the kids grow up and stuff like that. There are multiple ways of doing things, so I believe it has the potential for replay value. After having spent almost 200 hours (lots of idle time looking at the wiki and getting sidetracked) to get the platinum, I do believe I got my $14.99 out of the game.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (PS4)

Enjoyment: 7/10

Difficulty: 5/10

Time: 80 hours

 

I have mixed Feelings about the game. I like Borderlands and Borderlands 2 was a blast but the Pre-Sequel has some weaknesses. First of I hate it that you Need to look out for O2 with 3 of the 4 characters.  The Story was good for one playthrough but the grind to Level 50 was more of a hassle then in Borderlands 2. I guess it´s because you have a lot of DLCs for Borderlands 2 and you don´t Need to Play so far into the game again. Gameplaywise they really did a great Job with the new weapon types and Smash attack from the air, can´t complain with this. All in all I´m glad I´m finished with this part and now I only Need to platinum Borderlands to have all 3 games finished. I guess it´s possible to do this before Borderlands 3 Comes out   

If you like the previous games you should give the game a try, but don´t expect to much out of it.

#281

Vampyr

This was pretty good overall. The story and the time period were interesting, and the game play was fun enough. I plays a bit slow at first while you gather information on residents and build up disease cures, but picks up a bit as you get used to the mechanics and the play style. The recommended path in the trophy guide is the best for getting the platinum in a single play through, but it may have been better in two. The choices to kill or not kill and who to kill or not really affects the world and make for some interesting results, and you lose that by not making any choices and leaving everyone alive.
