Undead Wolf Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 It's been awhile since I last checked this out. The checklist is looking great, man. Lots of great plats too. Keep it up! Since you asked people to suggest games you should check out, I'll go ahead and recommend Valkyria Chronicles and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. A lot of people are scared off by VC because it's a strategy RPG, and that's a damn shame. Even if they aren't the typical games you'd play, the story and characters are exceptional, which is something everyone can appreciate. The gameplay is also a lot of fun once you get it down. Oh, and the art style... I know you like JRPGs, and Cold Steel is simply one of the best I've played in quite some time. You get a lot of bang for your buck too. My first playthrough took me over 100 hours, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm sure you'd love it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many games I'm forgetting right now to put on that list, and VC is one of them. I own the game on PS3, but I never finished it, and I definitely wanted the PS4 version. I loved how the game played, it was great, and I like SRPGs if they're done well, and VC was, imo. As for ToCS, I have heard of it, but I haven't given it much of a look over. I'll do some looking into it and see if it interests me enough. ToCS II just came out not too long ago, didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't play many SRPGs, but something about VC just clicked with me. One of my favourites from last gen, that's for sure. Even better now since it got remastered on PS4 with trophies. You can't go wrong! Cold Steel looks a little dated, and truth be told, I was sceptical going into it. It really grew on me though. It's just a pure JRPG, nothing fancy, but it didn't need to have any of that. It gets everything right. An interesting story, lots of great characters, fun combat, etc. And yeah, Cold Steel II came out earlier this month in North America. We Europeans have to wait until November though.

We Europeans have to wait until November though. Yeah, most I've ventured into SRPGs is Fire Emblem and Agarest, but VC was much different from those, and I liked it... I'm a terrible strategist though, and with perma-death, that often causes me to reset, haha. Hmm, you make it sound more and more appealing the more you talk about it. Now that I think about it, one of my sister's friends recommended it to her, so I'll more than likely get it eventually, so I'll add it to the list. If I like it enough, I may get II down the road.

TheFinalEmblem Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Platinum #59- Adventures of Mana A remake of an old school game that was reminiscent of A Link to the Past, that's the perfect formula for me to love a game, and I did indeed. What's next? I'm not sure, I have nothing else to play at the moment, and there's a hurricane, so I probably won't have power after today, haha. But probably sometime this month I'll be able to get some more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Platinum #60- Pac-Man Got it off the flash sale, both because of the price and I need some small games to tide me over until the GE games arrive. Next up will be Dig-Dug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Platinum #61- Dig Dug The second of 3 plats from that 3 in 1 Arcade game pack. Can't wait to play Galaga, as it's my definite favorite of the three! And tomorrow, GE2RB and Resurrection will be here, and I'll be playing those!

TheFinalEmblem Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Platinum #62- Galaga I've gotten more platinums in such a short amount of time than I ever will again... it's kind of tiring. But now, my next plat may not be here for a little bit, God Eater Resurrection! So excited for tomorrow when it and GE2RB arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFinalEmblem Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Nice work on platting all these arcade classic games. ^^ Thanks, it was fun to play them all again since I played them as a kid. Though my skills have not improved one bit, because I still suck at them, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Platinum #63- Adventure Time: the Secret of the Nameless Kingdom (PSV) Wasn't expecting myself to get this game, but since I just so happened to have some money left over from buying the Arcade Collection, and hearing this was only $1, I snatched it up and loved it. It was a needed break from God Eater, because, while I love that game, boy is it draining, haha. I may pick up the PS3 version sometime as well since I enjoyed it so much. Also managed the fastest achiever time, for now at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarciaFever Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hey, I noticed that you have some games platinum (like the Nsruto Storm 2 plat, and a couple of the Neptunia plats). Will you be going for the rest of the games' series (provided that you have the corresponding console)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hey, I noticed that you have some games platinum (like the Nsruto Storm 2 plat, and a couple of the Neptunia plats). Will you be going for the rest of the games' series (provided that you have the corresponding console)? It honestly really depends on the series rather than the console, barring Vita since I have a PSTV, if I'll go for the rest. For Naruto, I just got the game from a guy to play since he didn't want it. I honestly wasn't going to plat it at all, but I pushed through it, and I really didn't enjoy the game at all. As for Neptunia, I only ever intended to play the main series games, so the original trilogy on PS3 and Megadimension. I have no real intention of playing the re;birth games, especially since 1 isn't PSTV compatible, and the only spinoff title I intend to get is Blanc + Neptune vs. Zombies. Another game that falls into that category is Dead Rising, since I only really cared to play the first one, and I hear 2 is a glitchy mess. On the other side, there's games that I want to finish up in a series, but can't afford right now, such as the Atelier Dusk Trilogy, as all I need is the first game, then maybe play the other Atelier games outside of the Dusk trilogy, and the Project Diva games, as I still need to get X.

TheFinalEmblem Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Platinum #64- God Eater Resurrection Loved this game, and I'm probably gonna love GE2RB as well, which I'm gonna be playing immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Platinum #65- God Eater 2: Rage Burst Another sequel done right, which many games don't usually do. Also my GOTY. Next up... Well, I have all three Jak games from the sale, so I can play those until Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero comes out, which a release date should be coming super shortly now, and also Stardew Valley in 2 weeks. Hope I can get all this stuff done before Tales of Berseria in January. So excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Platinum #66- Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy 2nd plat today, woo. This game was a ton of fun to play, really glad I got the collection on the sale recently. Gonna start II tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Platinum #67- Jak II Not as bad as people made it sound to be. Anyway, going right onto Jak 3, and as for plat 69 (tee hee), it'll probably be Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero. I don't have perverted games, so that's about as close as it'll get.

TheFinalEmblem Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Platinum #68- Jak 3 A great end to the trilogy, and I enjoyed all of it. Now, onto plat #69, whatever that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Had to go back through my list and put in all the images again because of the update... I don't think I'm ever gonna do it again, and I'm not doing it in the general posts. Anyway, onto why I'm even posting. Platinum #69- Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed Glad I got it on sale just for the sake of plat 69, and it was a ton of fun as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Hyper Balls Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Grats on #69 and a damn good one too I'm jelly how fast gamers plat this game, going for the Lilly ranks were easy but good gawd. I could not do that for 5 to 8 hours straight had to break it up into 1 to 2 hour sessions, Fan service helped a lot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's definitely not easy to keep doing the same thing over and over again, but when you have a ton of Youtube videos to watch, it makes the grind easier, it still took a while. Eh, I'm not a fanservice guy, so I got all the clothes ripping done for events as soon as the game started so I could put on the unbreakable hard costumes.

Omar Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Lots of growth I see here since I last stopped by!! Major props for all the progress you've made sir I have a question: I saw you have some Atelier plats, lots of people keep telling me to try the games out but I'm just not too sure, how do you see those plats? Super grindy? Tedious or very demanding? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super grindy? Tedious or very demanding? Thanks, this past year has been pretty awesome, and I did a lot more than I thought I would. The Atelier games are fun, but only if you don't mind having a time limit, in one form or another; that's the one thing that seems to keep people away, and I can understand why. You definitely need to stay on your toes in those games because they do have plenty of things that are time sensitive and missable and will cause you to have to do another run just because of it. So I'd say they're kind of tedious, Escha and Logy more so than Shallie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds stressful lmao I will look some more stuff up before making a decision, I see the games on sales quite often so I will have many chances to jump in if I choose to do so, thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
