2017 Platinum Race: Shana vs Dragon vs J2V89 vs Prinny

[Dragon-Archon]

Happy new year. I tried so hard to pop another plat before the contest ended, but alas it wasn't meant to be. Still managed to plat 25 games (of which 11 were RPGs  ). Also popped 7 UR plats (though only 5 of those are still UR) and got 3 new milestones. 2017 also marked the year I got a PS4 and Persona 5 was the first PS4 plat. Unfortunately, I didn't plat WipEout HD and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, so that's going to be on 2018's To Do list.

 

These are the games I enjoyed the most:

1. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
2. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
3. Persona 5
4. God Eater Resurrection
5. Muramasa Rebirth

Happy New Year. It was a lot of fun getting a lot of my games done. Unfortunately, I didn't complete my 2x points games for the race, guess I'll do that this year. 2017 I managed to reach both goals of my 150th plat and platting 50 games. 

 

My favorite 2017 games are: 

 

#1 Persona 5

#2 Horizon Zero Dawn

#3 Nier Automata

#4 Nioh 

#5 Dirt 4

Sorry for the huge delay having to deal with health and recent death of a pet really hit me hard and I kind of wanted to rest and try ignore a lot but here are the scores and I apologise that these scores are a bit off due to a delay from Jan1...

 

 

 

Kochiya Shana:

 

Dragon-Archon:

 

J2V89:

 

Wdjat Prinny Doods:

 

E

1. J2V89 - 3934.83
2. Kochiya Shana - 2,509.12
3. Wdjat Prinny Doods - 2,305.65
4. Dragon Archon - 2,300.11

 

 

The current rarest and most common platinums at current go to:

• RAREST: J2V with Mortal Kombat at 0.63%
• Most COMMON: Shana with グリザイアの果実スピンアウト！？ アイドル魔法少女ちるちる☆みちる at 97.64%

 

Games Played So Far:

I am sorry, not going to do this list for this update.

 

And with those scores I think it is obvious the winner is @J2V89, @Wdjat Prinny Doods had a close scare of becoming last but seems @Dragon-Archon was kept too long for poor health or was just too busy torching a few villages or protecting his hoard of treasure so got such a narrow defeat although he did ruin the losing streak Prinny was so proud of. 

 

Everybody played a decent selection of games during this even if they hadn't earned the platinum so hopefully everybody enjoyed this even if scores aren't exactly what you were hoping for or expected.

Of my games platinum'd during this I will say my favourite image definitely has to go to Touhou for the platinum I even went and made that a milestone platinum due to it besides also being Touhou, just really like the cute image of Reimu.

 

My actual favourite of the games played is a toughie and can't narrow it down as I enjoyed NieR as it was really fun though will admit I did do the ingame trophy purchases for the platinum only so I didn't feel pressured to hurry through the game and will go back to it later for a proper 100%. I also enjoyed Fate/EXTELLA due to being a fan although I did not like the Tamamo storyline or how forced Nero was into the whole plot but overall it wasn't bad was fun going through and getting all the Mystic Codes using the best Saber, Mysterious Heroine X. If only she answered my summons in Fate/Grand Order...

Then the 3rd game is definitely Under Night the closest I'll get to Melty Blood on PS3/4/V though I would gladly be proven wrong, best character is Sion... I mean Eltnum... and bonus points for the cute image as well.

 

As for this new year of gaming got a lot I would like to do but unsure with how my health has been though I would like to at least manage to pass platinum #100 as well as get a few platinums in particular like MonHun, Girls und Panzer, more Nep, Senran Kagura and Touhou as well as a few more games but will see what this year has planed for me as I go along.

Damn, that was close. At least I broke Prinny's losing streak, so moral victory for me  . Congrats J2V89 with winning the race. 

 

I'm surprised Root Letter counts, thought I'd platted it too late.
