Drew-013 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Inspired by damon8r351's Mission 100%: All Telltale Episodic Titles and Zone Hunter's Project Platinum threads. Here we've compiled a list of the non-aggressive, emotionally driven games available across the PlayStation consoles. These games are sure to put you through a whirlwind of feelings from Wonder to Isolation to Longing even to Sheer Terror.How many of these gems can you complete? Goal: To get 100% in all the listed Emotional Adventure games available on Playstation. Is this a Project Platinum?: Unfortunately not, there aren't enough games here that have platinum trophies, so this thread is just for fun. Maybe this will graduate to a PP one day if enough games with Platinum trophies are released. Can I join if I have flagged games on my profile?: No, unless you hide the games, get unflagged or use a different profile. What do I get for doing this?: Some shiny trophy images to use wherever you like. Rules: Every 100% has to be earned legit. Hackers will be found out and banned from the event. Only unique games are eligible, completing the same games with different region trophy lists will not get you any points. When a new game is released you'll have to re-earn your place in the Hall of fame if necessary. The hall of fame requirements will be updated whenever a new game releases. The order of the Hall of fame is by order of sign up. First come, first served. If you want to sign up please refer to which Hall you are eligible and provide the list of your games.. Hall of Fame Requirements: Completed all Emotional Adventures (Even the scary ones) Completed 18 Emotional Adventures Completed 9 Emotional Adventures Completed 1 Emotional Adventures Simply join the event.

Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted February 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2016 Some of my favorite games in here. I have quite a few of the plats / 100%s. However, I think lumping all these games together under the extremely reductive banner of 'walking simulator' is insulting to developers, players and the entire videogame community, and does a disservice to the furthering of the medium into broader more literate/ diverse/ interesting territory. I think 'The Witness' has about as much in common with 'Octodad Dadliest Catch' as 'Call of Duty' has to do with an old kayak covered in mayonase. I think trying to force them together under the banner of "well you don't shoot men in the face, so they must be similar' is baffling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HcG Clawz Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 This mission does have 5 plats which are the requirements to make a pp so you could have just asked in the thread ^^ And I think it would make a petty nice pp aswell.

I think trying to force them together under the banner of "well you don't shoot men in the face, so they must be similar' is baffling. I disagree, I think that all the listed games do belong here as they all meet a set of certain requirements to be eligible for the genre. They're all pacifist games where you're unable to cause harm, they're all story driven, and they're all written to evoke some sort of emotion, whether it be the Isolation of Firewatch, the sheer terror of Outlast or the Slapstick Joy of Octodad. Looks like the only requirement to get the silver trophy is to be you, huh? Thanks for pointing that out, it's been corrected.

LetsTurnJu-On Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I'm not convinced some of those games should be there under the title of "Walking Simulators". Outlast is a horror, Brothers is more an adventure game. I can see why you got say Ether One or Ethan in there.. just seems like you chucked some others in there too.

If we are to take Walking Simulators as the category that you believe I think that the removal of: Among the Sleep (Horror) Brothers (Adventure) Daylight (Horror) Home (Adventure) Octodad (Adventure) Outlast (Horror) Slender (Horror) And perhaps the inclusion of The Unfinished Swan Edited February 12, 2016 by Drew-013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBloodmoney Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Or just change the name to something that fits with this: This. I am part of the demographic that should be excited about this - as a vast majority of these games are right up my alley. It's the term 'Walking Simulator' that gives me such a viscerally negative reaction to this topic. I HATE that term. It's a derisive and snide term, coined by the kind of knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing "I only consider Call of Duty and Fifa to be games" mentality that the developers of most of these games i'm sure cannot stand. There IS a common thread to these games - in terms of their focus on narative and environmental storytelling - games based on thought and emotion that is instilled raher than imposed - but how to sum that up in a single term is difficult. That's the problem with art - the more interesting it is, the less classifyable it becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBloodmoney Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 That title makes a lot more sense now (what do you mean Octodad is not an emotional adventure?!?! I cried for 3 straight days when I managed to weed that garden without stepping on the flowers!!). Well, after all that i guess I should add myself to the list.

damon8r351 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) If you're going to use my Mission 100% tagline for your event, you have to include the official Mission 100% banner, the McDowell's outdoor shot from Coming To America. There's sort of a reason why that's there, and if you don't know why, then the joke flies over your head.

damon8r351 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Good, now that that's out of the way, I believe you've made a grave misjudgement by including just Journey from thatgamecompany but not their earlier titles Flower or flOw, unless the theme of this is "Emotional Journeys That Require Some Walking".

This is where I was looking for some input. These games and a few others (Thomas was alone, Child of Light (Though I'm not sure if this non-aggressive), Toren (Also not sure if non-aggressive), Lone Survivor to name a few). Edit: Toren and Lone Survivor are definitely aggressive, Child of light has Slaying, Swords and Spells. Would they qualify as Adventures?

damon8r351 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 They got a beginning, middle and end goal, with events happening in the middle that create an emotional impact, that certainly qualifies as one in my opinion. Both are non-violent inasmuch as I don't consider flower petals tearing down inanimate steel towers and rejuvenating nature to be violent. Or sea creatures evolving by doing what comes instinctually to be violent. They qualify far more than Child of Light, which has you slaying creatures with swords and magic spells.
