 #6 - Pistol Whip (PS5)

 

My second plat for PSVR2! Really fun rhythm/shooter game that I bought looking to fill the beat sober shaped hole on the PSVR2 at the moment and I had a great time. The trophy list was pretty easy to be honest, basically took me one afternoon other than like an hour I played the night before. It doesn't require you to do the campaign at all, basically just a list of miscellaneous trophies. Little bit grindy at the end for the 1000 pistol whips but thats about it. Also has a pretty funny platinum trophy name and icon, "You're Breathtaking!" with the picture of Keanu, love it.

Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour

We are way overdue for a new Duke Nukem game bring him back!

#1700 - Gravel PS4

Most boring race of all time.

#161 - Omno

 

 

The Enlightened
Master the light

 

The controls are a bit janky but it's good overall. Puzzles and collectibles aren't too hard to solve and find and the length of the game is just right.

 #39 - Dirt 5

 

 

 1,500th Trophy Milestone:

 

 

Up to 1,500 trophies with this, my 39th platinum.

 

I had fun and thought it had a nice variety of colourful looking tracks/locations, vehicles and event types. It had a nice playlist of songs in the soundtrack too. The lack of customisation options for the vehicles beyond changing the paint jobs was a shame though, and I wasn't a fan of the rubber banding AI who are very easy to catch up to then suddenly started matching my pace when actually leading races.

 

I went the somewhat unconventional route of clearing the DLC trophy packs before concentrating on the main campaign. This made the main set of races feel like a breeze as the DLC ones are a fair bit more difficult and you also need to collect all the stamps in the DLC's unlike the main set of events.

 

Sonic Origins next up for my 40th  milestone.

 

Enjoyment: 9/10

Difficulty: 3/10

Total Game Time: 32 hours (DLC trophies included)

King of Seas 

 

King of Kings

Unlock all the trophies

 

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a pirate.

When the game hits your eye like a big, top-down, less violent, more cartoonish version of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag pizza pie.

That's amore King of Seas.

One sort-of randomly generated map, lots of sailing, lots of plundering, lots of sinking ships with cannons and, um, magic abilities...

Those abilities reflect well the nature of this game. It does not take itself seriously 

Shark Attack, Tentacle Slam, Voodoo Beam and Pirate Party are just a few very useful tricks you can have against the pesky Royal Navy.

By name, my favorite is Pee On Those Cannons. Which reduces cooldown of cannons...by peeing on them.

Surprisingly the Platinum is ultra rare. Might be because of two admittedly boringly grindy trophies (one of those depending on crappy RNG),

and one trophy requiring to play the game on harder mode, permadeath on.

To this day and age, I think permanent death-modes are pointless, since cloud saving is a thing. And SoK is really not that hard anyway.

Difficulty trophies luckily stack, which I gather was not always the case.

Doing 5 separate runs sucks ass 9 times outta 10 (unless it's Super Mario World, hitting Yoshi on the back of its head never gets old).

This is sort of a hidden gem in my book. It's got low amount of players, it's mainly glitch free, it's entertaining, it's easy to learn and addictive.

And it's cheap pretty often during sales. So definitely give that Polly a cracker and get cracking...some loot

Platinum #70

Pinball Heroes

 

 Pinball Wizard!

 

Fun: 7.5/10

Difficulty 1/10

 

I am not the biggest Pinball fan, but I used to do it quite a lot as a kid and it was still fun, maybe not as much fun as other games that I'm playing / I've played but it was good fun.

Not too long, not too short, just long enough to enjoy.

 

Normally I would do a pros/cons list, but it's pinball and it works.

But I do have a platinum screenshot:

[DETfaninATL]

Just platinumed The Last Of Us part II but not going for 100%. The story was waaaaaaaaaaay too long for it's own good and I just don't have it in me to play it two more times for Grounded mode and then another one for Permadeath mode.

 Platinum #110   -   NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM

 

 

 

I loved playing this game.

I'm almost done watching Naruto Shippuden,

and going through this game helped me remember what's happened before.

 

I had a lot of fun trying to get everything done for the platinum.

It's a good first game for a fighting series.

 

The blocking system is a different story though haha.

But I can look past it.

Finally.

After suffering.

 

 

Solid 8/10 game

#187 - Ratchet and Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal (Vita)

 

Rating/Enjoyment: 8.5/10

Difficulty: 4/10

Time: 15+ Hours

PSNP Rarity: 26.53%

PSN Rarity: 15.4%

 

I loaded up my Vita once again since i use it every now and then. I was on a work trip so I decided to bring it with me and realized I had R&C Trilogy installed, so I loaded up the third game since i remember it being one of my favorite PS2 games when I was a kid. I prob will play the other ones as well but the third game had my attention for the work trip

 

The game I think still holds up its value even for 2022 standards I feel. The levels are linear but nicely design to the point you will always remember them! The enemy designs and the cutscenes also hold its ground despite it being a 2004 game! The combat and weapons were fun to use for the most part and the arena battles felt fair in its difficulty. The soundtrack is pretty fire, most worlds had a good vibe and made it more immersive for that world/level.  Since I did play it on vita, the game would stutter or lose some frames when im in a battle with multiple enemies. And only 1 time my game crashed. I felt there was little platforming challenges and races that you would see in a typical R&C game. This is more action oriented than the other games for sure, there were fewer puzzles than I remember, so I was expecting something more from it, but there was very little of it. And because of the constant action, at times I would feel burnout because of the repetition. However this was very rare in this game. I would like to add that the story is nothing crazy, but its a fun one for sure that reminded me a bit of Rift Apart!!

 

Overall I had a great time with this game, the nostalgia hit for real! I think the game is worth it whether on the Vita or PS3, the action is still good and the overall level and story design will keep you playing!!

February 2023 Update:

 

Platinum 153: 

Time On Frog Island (PS5)

This game is very cute and I like the art style, but that is about it. To be able to platinum this you pretty much need to follow a guide the whole way through, plus it bugged on me the first time. Glad to own it physically and glad I have the Platinum, but not my favourite game by any stretch of the imagination. 

 

Platinum 154:

Fallout Shelter (PS4)

This is a good game if you like games in this genre. Whilst progress is slow it is consistent, with this game taking me roughly 4ish months of fairly consistent chipping away at it. I did enjoy my time with it and it is bitter sweet that I have finished as I did enjoy feeling like I was constantly chipping away at a Platinum, even on days I barely had time to game, I could load this up and make some small progress. Great little game and my first Plat in the Fallout Universe.

 

I also made a good dent into NFS Heat this month, with the platinum not too far away and as you can see from my trophy list, the lack of platinum's and trophies is due to Hogwarts Legacy dominating my playtime (as well as an overall lack of playtime)

#175 Managements Favourite Employee (Deep Rock Galactic - Ps4 version)

Difficulty: all over the place, from super easy and quick to hard and grindy

Time to Complete: 303 hours

Recommended: Absolutely YES!

Total score: 11/10

 

Ahhh Deep Rock Galactic, I remember trying this game a few months after it was released on psn+, and even before that I tried a free weekend on steam because I had no idea what the game was about. I remember thinking "oh great, another indie game, how boring can it be". And to be honest, I didn't get into it at first, and I basically did nothing until I took a break. I only restarted the game around November, when I decided to pick it up and play, and well...damn it, this is the type of game where "if you don't properly play, you'll never see how fun the game is". I legitimately got hooked so hard after properly playing the classes (yeah, I never played all classes at first) and getting weapons and promotions. After that, it became addicting and I couldn't stop. Crap I actually still want to play this game! This is probably one of my favorite games of all time, and despite being a fervid jrpg player, this game just keeps me going back...but I really could need a good rest right now.

 

Anyway, I don't think I need to explain anything about this game...instead, I want to say something negative for once, because while playing the game, looking online for tips and builds and everything, I couldn't help but to stumble upon the criticism about the game. And at first, I laughed at them, but the more I played the game, the more I realized they were right. 

 

Now hear me out: what I'm going to say, is 1000% nitpicking, and while a flaw it doesn't detract from the game experience AT ALL, the game is fantastic, you have to try it to see yourself. But after 300 hours on ps4 (and 50 on pc, because of course I had to), I couldn't help but to realize that this game has flaws. I know, it's insane, but I can't ignore these issues, which are...

 

• Time Gated Content: Just as I was about to get my plat, I read about a bug fix where they're going to patch an exploit that allowed you to farm matrix cores from the weekly hunt by cancelling it, and that was a good fix because this is clearly exploitative (and I never did it, because I never knew it). However, they are also going to fix ANOTHER exploit that allowed you to refresh the weekly matrix core hunt via the promotion and grab more cores from it. Essentially speaking, you could farm matrix cores if you kept promoting your classes, as it would refresh the weekly hunt. This was actually very nice and this made you work hard to get your promotion, as you could get an extra blank and weapon to overclock for your classes. But apparently they're removing this, or at least they did because in my last hunt I received zero cores, so this means the ONLY ways to get your cores...is to wait a week after doing your hunts and DDs. Not going to lie, this is stupid and it's clearly timegated to force players to keep playing for longer, and while the game is certainly fun and good on its own, what extends the game further were the overclocks. But another issue with Overclocks is their rng factor, you can never know what you'll get and not all OC are equally good, and some of these can make or break an EDD run or a high hazard run. 
  
  What I'm trying to say is, promotion was a good incentive to get cores, which let you get overdrives, but now that's gone it means you have no choice but to wait a week to get more. And considering there are over 120 weapon overclocks...yeah, it's gonna take a while!
  
  Speaking of taking a while...
   
• No real progression: When you start the game you'll have to get to level 25 in order to unlock all your weapon mods and other unlockables, and getting your promotion allows to unlock more stuff, like Deep Dives, mineral trading, more beer recipes, the forge and, of course, overclocks (you can join machine events but you can't use cores, at least that's what I read). In fact one of the best tips for newcomers is to at least promote each class once so that you can get the gist of it, and eventually unlock everything like weapons and additional stuff.
  
  But once you promote each class once...that's about it! Levels don't really mean anything other than "I played a lot" but actively give you nothing back. You don't get rewarded for being promoted - other than achievements of course - you just get a new star on your icon and keep going. As I said, you could get a new core by refreshing the weekly hunt, but now that it's been fixed you don't get anything out of your promotion. This is seriously flawed because...why can't we get a blank core from promotion? Fixed the exploit okay, but give us another core from promoting? And don't take me wrong you still have fun with the game but overclocks is when the game because more fun, as you get to experiment builds and such. But now promotions are just...useless and there's no real progression. It's just all flare. And...it kinda sucks.
   
• The Perk System: Probably not the first one to say this but definitely not the last one! The game has a perk system where you can choose up to 3 passives and 2 actives/passives for each dwarf and the system works this way: each time you finish a mission you get a milestone, and each time you get a milestone you get perk points. You use these points to unlock perks, which have levels, and also additional perk slots. Once you promote you also get an additional active slot for a perk, so like I said earlier getting a promotion does get you some progress.
  The problem with this system is...well it ends. At around level 50 or something I was basically done unlocking all perks and after that you basically do nothing with these points. Literally nothing. I finished the game with about 120 perk points that will go nowhere because I have nothing to unlock. Which is a shame.
  
  But another issue with the perk system, at least in my opinion, is how...extremely situational it is, which is both good AND bad. I want to be honest here: a lot of perks are so situational that I practically never used them, and never felt a difference, stuff like Second Wind, Friendly, Elemental Insulation, A bug thing just hardly come by when you do missions, while others may be good but often don't feel at their best. Meanwhile few perks are practically better than anything else, like Dash (super speed that ignores slowing effects), Thorns (damage each time you get hit) and Hoverboots (allows you to survive high falls). I practically had these all the time, except maybe on Scout which had Field Medic, but my point is a lot of the perks should be reworked to be a bit better so that they can work with any build. It might be better if you have a premade so that you know what to pick...but if you're like me who plays with randoms then it's not the case. 
  
  Bottom line, the perk system su... rely could use some tweaks!

 

And to be fair I could say also a few more things, but I still can't deny that the game is super fun despite these relatively small flaws. Yeah you might get no progression, the overclock grind sucks and the perks are all kinda meh, but doesn't change the fact that the game is super fun and I want more of it! But right now I might take a break, get back to some of my jrpgs (hey legend of dragoon just got fixed too!) and enjoy a little vacation away from Hoxxes

 

With that said, tell Karl that I called him and that I want my pickaxe back: Rock and Stone fellow miners, until next time!

 

PS: the platinum's name should've been "Karl would be proud" but instead that's tied to another trophy...just like JC Denton says, "What a shame"

#300: Stray PS4

All Done
Unlock all trophies.

Difficulty: 4/10

Fun: 10/10

Really a nice game. As a cat owner, I loved every minute. There is only 1 difficult or luck-based trophy. I spend a hour on that. I look forward for the PS5 version.
