CrestfallenAU Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 17 hours ago, MattyH16 said: Here we are at the halfway mark of October. I had an ok start to the month with the Nitroplus Blasterz platinum. I picked it up from EB for $8 thinking what a nice cheap and easy platinum, right? Now I consider myself to be reasonably skilled at some fighting games but this one really tested my patience at times in ways that Tekken never has. Some of the controls you have to input for the combo trophies are just nasty. The majority of the game is relatively easy apart from that. Do not be fooled by the guides platinum time, as it may quite possibly take you longer. I must recommend Stories: The Path Of Destinies to you all. A previous PS Plus title, this game requires around 30 odd playthroughs, however there are 25 different endings which help to keep it interesting. It was a good feeling when I finally worked out how to get the "best ending." Oh and I eventually managed to know off Saints Row 4 after 3 playthroughs... A few days ago, I finally decided to have another crack at Assassin's Creed: Rogue, which I haven't touched since July last year. So far, I'm enjoying it this time. I'm a little more motivated to get it done with AC Origins less than 2 weeks away. The sailing put me off last time. I haven't finished AC III and I've not yet started Black Flag so I don't have anything to compare it to. I've kinda got the hang of it now and it's actually decent! Finally, as we approach the end of October, we see a few top end games preparing for launch day. I've got South Park: TFBW, Gran Turismo Sport & AC Origins pre-ordered. What has everyone else got pre-ordered or on the buy list for the month? Oh yeah, I finally hit the 10,000 trophy mark. Picked a decently named trophy for it too. I hope you all have a productive month of trophy hunting Congrats on 10,000 trophies, Matt. I found that Stories: the Path of Destinies started to drag on when I was unlocking all the endings because there's only a handful of different levels and the combat grew stale rather quickly. It's still a decent game that I'd also recommend playing though. I've put a bunch of October's releases on my wishlist, but I probably won't be buying all that many at launch. I'm looking at finally picking up a Switch soon too for Super Mario Odyssey, but I'm hoping there'll be some good deals heading into Christmas. It was $380 standalone a few weeks ago so I'm hoping it hits that price again, or gets bundled with a lot of good stuff, otherwise I'm going to be kicking myself. October games I've put on my wishlist (some are already out) are Assassin's Creed: Origins, Chaos;Child, Danganronpa V3, The Evil Within 2, Layton's Mystery Journey, Nights of Azure 2, South Park: the Fractured but Whole, Super Mario Odyssey and Wolfenstein II. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol there are too many games and just not enough time! Although after thinking about it, I will be passing on Gran Turismo Sport. As much as I love the series and the gameplay looks really good, I just can't support the online focused direction that Polyphony has taken.

AffectatiousDonk Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 So Just a quick shout out to anyone bored tonight. Please feel free to drop in to a party and say hi, Matt, Adam and myself will be boosting Stardust Vanguards (still spaces if anyone wants to join in). Can pretty much guarantee it will be a pretty hilarious time as judging from past both these guys always bring some great banter. I am on hour 8(ish) so far of my gaming marathon so anything could happen by then. Will be in party from 830pm (AEST) until well someone falls over. I'm going through to around 4am but can't guarantee my quality of conversation by then. But still be good for some laughs, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As some of the other guys have said, we're almost finished the competition for this year but we''ll be back again for another season. I'll add you to the waiting list for next season and get in contact with you when we're setting it up. It's good to see another person who has an interest in Digimon, admittedly I haven't played one of the games for many years but the new ones are on my list of games to play though. Back on the PS1 I sunk hundreds of hours into Digimon World and played through Digimon World 2003 as well. Digimon World 4 on PS2 was a disappointment though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh i love Digimon have seen all of the anime subtitled and read all of the manga. If you like JRPGS you need to play Digimon story cyber sleuth because surprisingly it is a Digimon game that is incredibly well made I will definitely participate next year I should check form post dates lol Also RE:digitised is amazing if you're ok with messing with fan translations and next order it sequel has been released in English on PS4.

AffectatiousDonk Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) EB are offering another deal through Sony for 4K TVs. Prices ranging from $1000 - $4000 all seems significantly reduced. Might be time to upgrade if you like the Sony TVs. I use a Sony 4K TV for my gaming and have been most happy with it. Only downside is it doesn't support IOS devices so would not recommend unless your an Android user. Edited October 24, 2017 by CjShai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone in this league might be willing to send you their code if they don't plan on using it. In unrelated news WB and TT games have announced the end of Lego Dimensions.

I often laugh but it's rare I laugh so hard I can't even hold the controller and that slow moving cutscene entrance will go down forever as the funniest thing I will ever see, I am sure. We still have one place left if anyone wants to join us and I imagine we will continue to co-op games into the future. Feel free to join us at anytime but if you do be prepared for some witty conversation and hilarious moments. Also a quick shoutout to the people that touch base every now and then on PSN messenger, always interested in what your playing (well if it's Japanese, comes in at under 5 hrs or has an octopus). After all games come and go but the people you meet is where the fun is at. Goodluck with the hunt ( unless your in the top 10 - then stop playing and go on holiday ? ) looking forward to seeing the final results of the league.

I was nearly in tears from the laughter when my character wouldn't move and finally caught up to you guys as the cut scene was almost over. In fact I'm laughing about it now. In the morning my wife asked me what I was laughing about all night. So we certainly had a good time. Looking forward to more co-op into the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digimon will be on my backlog list for next year, I wanted to add one this year but the release date was still too new from memory. For all the talk with the 4K TV's if you have a PS4 Pro then I recommend running a 4K TV its so much better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
