2017 Platinum Race: Shana vs Dragon vs J2V89 vs Prinny

[Shana Alter]

 Platinum #195 - 東方紅舞闘V 

Rarity: 28.98% Uncommon

 

A fun relatively easy platinum with the image clearly displaying the strongest.

I'd say it would be rarer if it wasn't for the small userbase though as this could frustrate some people especially considering how certain characters play but that is about it, I really wish ULiL had a platinum though...

 

Now I just need 4 more platinums, just 4 more...

What the heck is that game's name? I don't read Japanese.

Wow, Google knows doujin games, I'm surprised =D

Positive thing. It's going to be localized.

I got a notification that Dragon posted in this topic, hoping that you finally decided to awaken from your slumber and to soar to greater heights (in the standings) by earning a platinum, but here we all are... Still watching the dragon scratching it's behind.

 

Still hoping you put on a good show and at least leave 3rd-degree burns on your competition before you are slain.

Lol  , yeah I've been busier since June 2016 and that really cut into my gaming time. Truth be told I'm not expecting to be first, but going to try to avoid being last.

[Wdjat Prinny Doods]

 #151- Horizon Zero Dawn

 

Rarity- 11.43%

[J2V89]

#124 Disney Infinity 3.0

 

 

Rarity: 11.40% Rare 

 

Started this game last month since the online servers were going down and now it's closed. Got all the online trophies in time and this game is not that bad. The 75 feats took me a bit of time but it's a easy game. Time to work on #125 for the plat.

Edited March 13, 2017 by J2V89

[J2V89]

#125 Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

 

 

Rarity: 22.33% Uncommon

 

Took me a little over 50 hours mostly because of the school mode. Great story and I picked this since I was in the mood to play this since sometimes my plans change a lot. 25 plats more until the next milestone which is very possible this year. 

[J2V89]

#126 Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair

 

 

Rarity: 18.85% Rare

 

Great sequel and I felt it was a bit better compared to the 1st game. Game felt a bit longer this time and glad to have both games done. Like this plat image.

[Shana Alter]

 Platinum #196 - My Name is Mayo 

Rarity: 97.82% Common

 

 Platinum #197 - XBLAZE CODE:EMBRYO 

Rarity: 70.29% Common

 

 Platinum #198 - Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash 

Rarity: 15.16% Rare(X2 points)

 

Just 1 more game to go before I can earn the last trophy needed for my planned #200 will probably be Cyberdimension the way I am going before I can earn #200, I also predict Peach Beach Splash's platinum image to change when it releases in the West just like all the other Senran Kagura platinums have.

 

Of the games Mayo was just used to push me closer to #200 and as a joke since I doubt it will have any impact but this game really is painful to play literally and really boring too...

 

XBLAZE I've done it before and it is good but for this for the most part was skipped as again to get me closer to #200 quicker.

 

Senran Kagura this was fun but does have flaws like lack of outfits inability to turn off teammates for solo and for some the fact the finishers change them into the standard swimsuit for the game and the fact not all clothing options gain a wet look will probably annoy some. The characters are all the same with it coming down to personal preference with the real deciding factors being level, weapon and skill card setup with the grenade launcher being pretty much broken especially with Ryoubi cards and all levelling a character does is increase their HP with it maxed at Lv:10 at 300HP.
 

[Shana Alter]

With March having come to a close and April starting with a few pranks I was tempted to delay this but figured better still update it for now.

 

The progress at current looks lopsided but it is only 1/4 of the way through so anything can still happen but here are what everybody has earned so far:

 

Kochiya Shana:

 - 

 

Dragon-Archon:

 

J2V89:

 - 

 

Wdjat Prinny Doods:

 - 

 

And with the changing rarity and the new platinums for those that apply the scores currently would look like:

1. J2V89 - 1,289.37
2. Kochiya Shana - 1,095.27
3. Wdjat Prinny Doods - 687.44
4. Dragon Archon - 360.53

 

J2V keeps the lead but still hasn't earned any x2 point games along with Dragon while I have used 2/3 and Prinny has used 1/3 will this make a difference later on or will it be something easily ignored? With Horizon Zero Dawn losing points at a rather fast pace it is looking to get to become most likely only worth 60 points by the end of the year at it's current rate while I went and popped My Name is Mayo will that game's mere 2.24 points make a difference later on how would anybody feel if they lost due to the exact amount that Mayo gives?

Prinny seems to have slowed down this month, Dragon is racing for a UR in Wipeout, I was more concerned trying to get some quick easy platinums just to get my milestone done which will likely happen later today while all that was going on it seem J2V just went and pushed to increase his lead while playing a game of kill or be killed run by a psychotic bear.

 

The current most common and rarest platinums go to:

• Rarest: Mortal Kombat at 0.72% rarity dropping by 0.01% - J2V
• Most Common: My Name is Mayo at 97.76% - Shana

March was interesting afterall we had 2 competitors go and deal with robotic dinosaurs and 1 of those did it before going to school where they had to deal with a crazed teddy bear, we had Dragon careening around corners in some high speed races with many explosions as he tried to beat a lap time and then another had entered a watergun tournament and sadly for our viewers there are no images of the tournament so sorry for our viewers~

 #153: Star Ocean The Last Hope

1.02% UR

Finally, 587 hours later got this one out of the way. So. Much. Grinding. Never again.

Yeah it has been a slow going for me. I've really been all over the place after finishing Horizon and it won't get much better once Persona 5 drops Tuesday dood

[J2V89]

Persona 5 might keep me busy on Tuesday. Felt I did alright for the month of March. 

[Shana Alter]

 Platinum #199 - SOULCALIBUR V 

Rarity: 3.11% Ultra Rare

 

 Platinum #200 - Touhou Genso Rondo 

Rarity: 9.59% Very Rare

 

Well got my milestone after a boring grind of arcade mode easy and walking for nearly 70,000 metres... after all that I just had to do 7 straight wins with Youmu in Genso Rondo for the milestone and the only hard part there was Sakuya as round 7.

Now I have that milestone out of the way I won't have to worry about that not until trophy #15,000 or platinum #250 unless it is #225?

 

Out of the 2 games I liked Genso Rondo more though being a Touhou fan I guess there was some bias but SOULCALIBUR V just feels like bad fanfiction with it's bad/short story, less moves per character compared to IV and even III and the character creator had some odd moments where certain clothes were not able to be used together despite it making sense but quick battle the battle of the cheap tactics was the absolutely worst part but trophy-wise it defintiely goes to Lv:99 and walk 87,600 metres...

This is why I don't think I'll ever plat a Tri-Ace game. Check out RPG Limit Break's marathon.

Well, I guess I'll buy P5. I really really enjoyed P4G and I shouldn't let one frustrating trophy make a game unenjoyable. Once my check drops and the rent and groceries are paid, I'll look into this.

Yeah, Tri-Ace games rival Disgaea in complex leveling mechanics so badly and have so much more story than Tales games that even speedruns of the games take hours. I think a sub-hour Tri-Ace speedrun is impossible, even with Tool Assist.

 

I did beat Star Ocean: Second Story and Star Ocean: Til The End of Time when they were are on the PS2, but I don't think I'll be interested in platinuming the remake of the latter.

[Dragon-Archon]

Now would probably be a good time to mention that the Star Ocean plat was just an April Fools joke  .

I liked it at first, seeing that he finally got out of his slump. Then I looked at his profile and saw he was a lying bastard and unliked it.
