10. Adventures of Mana 0% 5% (4 out of 37 trophies)

 

Pretty much finished up Odin Sphere for now.  I'm saving the last two trophies for the Vita 5th Anniversary event on the 22nd.  I decided to add in Adventures of Mana because I just got that and probably will be playing it obsessively, though I'm likely also going to save its plat for the Vita 5th Anniversary event.  Otherwise going to see if I can finish Demon Gaze or Tokyo Twlight Ghost Hunters for it and just try to get any progress I can in Time and Eternity and Sam & Max.

 

Doubt I'll finish all my games, including Tales of Graces f was definitely a bad idea, but I'll be glad for progress in everything but that one and 100%ing over half will definitely be good progress.

[StilRh]

Knocked out all the side quests in GR2. Need to do collectables, a few combat trophies and get gold for all the challenges. Pretty enjoyable, it's been my gaming staple since I got it.

Making some more progress on Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Should finish up the story for the first time in the next day or two. Started everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Thought it had a nice atmosphere and it is interesting. I'll let you know how I feel about it on my fifth run (walk) when looking for collectibles. The speed doesn't bother me now, I know that was some people's biggest complaints, but it is a nice paced, interesting game so far.

Since this was never answered to my knowledge, @ShadowStar83x, would it be allowed to switch out the NA version of Superdimension Neptunia for the Chinese version seeing as how they're the same game? I wanna do that one first so I can get as high up on its First Achievers list as possible, not to mention I wanna do a speedrun of the NA version if possible and I don't really have the time for it atm with college and such.

Sorry, been kind of messed up here the last few days. That's fine this time, but may not allow it next time.

Megadimension Neptunia VII (Korean): 4% -> 10%

 

Beat the first Dark CPU in the Zero Dimension and got to the part where

Neptune goes back to the Hyperdimension.

 

Hoping to outright finish the Zero Dimension arc tonight because I am gonna have a very tight time limit to work with here considering I actually have school to deal with and I can't do this one on the go because it's a PS4 game.

Got Odin Sphere to the point where I just need to start the game and play the complete ending and it's done now, but saving that one for the 22nd.  I've beat Adventures of Mana and only have the grind to level 99 left now.  Also got a few more trophies in Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters.

 

And I'm also back down to less than 500 unearned trophies, yay!

[Walt the Dog]

Megadimension Neptunia VII (Korean): 10% -> 25%

 

Not only got done the Zero Dimension Arc, but also went through Blanc's route of Neptunia G and got done the figure RNG grind. Now I'm in Vert's route to work on the hell that is the card grind for the fourth and final time.

Valiant Hearts is a pretty odd game, it turns out.  A goofy puzzle-y adventure-y game with villains straight out of a kids' cartoon, but it also wants to tell a sober story about the horrors of war.  It's a difficult balance to strike, and I'm not sure it entirely works, but I'm interested to see where they go with the third act.

• Broken Age (91%)
• Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (100%)
• Letter Quest Remastered (28%)
• Transistor (64% -> 66%)
• Valiant Hearts: The Great War (19% -> 47%)

Took a couple days off, because Everybody's Gone to the Rapture froze on me three times when running for Radio Enthusiast (and you know life). Yesterday I finished off 11 of the 19 trophies and got the platinum. That puts me at 49 platinums, just two more left for the rest of the month. Half done with Marvel Ultimate Alliance, hopefully going to put in a bunch more work in the next couple of days.

Dude, the ending is one of the best, yet sombre.

You may have tears.

I couldn't agree more. It's o ne of the few times I've been heavily moved by a video game.

Now you guys are making me want to go back and finish Valiant Hearts. I'm somewhere in the third or fourth chapter I think. It's been awhile.

Just do it.

Tis worthwhile.

[StilRh]

Distracted by Tales of Berseria and Rainbow 6 Siege the last few days. Managed to chip away at GR2 a bit more. Gem collecting, a few collectables, a challenge mission on gold and a few misc combat trophies and I'll hit the plat. I see the upgrade everything trophy being a grind - I have collected 31,000 out of 87,000. I've seen some youtube vids on farming though. Should knock this out by the end of the week.

Got every normal and rare card as well as two of the Super Rare cards. Hoping to get the other two next time I have a chance to play.

Done with the stupid card trophy. I got the SR Vert pretty quickly, but I had to suffer through eight freaking SR repeats before I got my SR Neptune for the trophy. Amusingly, half of the repeats were Blanc. I think the Random Number God has a preference in women. 

[StilRh]

Platinum'd Gravity Rush 2. With crunch time at work I doubt I'll 100% anything before the end of this challenge but will spend some time on Stardew and Criminal Girls for fun.

You guys were right, it turns out.  (I thought the second half of the game was more effective than the first, but maybe playing it over the course of a week rather than taking a break for a year explains that.  Definitely glad I gave it a chance either way.)

Putting in more time into Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Slogging through the simulator missions right now. Kinda tedious and I will be glad when I am done, just a few more really challenging ones and then I can move onto hard mode which shouldn't take long.

Just a small update.  Adventures of Mana is now ready to pop and I'm also saving that for the Vita 5th anniversary event.  Also got more trophies in Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters, including a few more battle related trophies.  Almost done with my first playthrough there, so it should have a nice jump in trophies soon once I can farm for the sense wheel things in episode 13 (I'm on 10 now)

Spring signups will go live sometime this weekend. 

[Fitzquaid]

Finished Transistor, so I feel like I'm in reach of my goal now.  This event has been great for getting me to focus on games and see them through; if I had more short games left under 20%, I'd sign up again for Spring.
