Popular Post jemmie Posted May 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) It's finally happened! After three years of trophy leagues, I have finally been recognized as a strong trophy hunter and have been challenged to my first ever plat race! Over the course of seven weeks, Andrea and I will race via three different games (so just over two weeks per game on average). The winner will be whoever finishes all three games first or is the closest to doing so when time's up. Points at the end will be determined by the weight of each trophy earned. To decide what games to play, we each picked two games that are relatively long/rare. One game is an absolute pick, and the other will go in a poll for our third game, decided the day of the event. My absolute pick is Thief, and Andrea's is XCOM: Enemy Within. As shown in the poll, our other picks were Time and Eternity and Sniper Elite V2 respectively. Sniper Elite V2 had a narrow win after the most slanderous poll I've ever seen on PSNP, so Time and Eternity will just have to wait. Andrea - 3/3 *WINNER* Thief - 38/38 XCOM: Enemy Within - 31/31 Sniper Elite V2 - 42/42 jem12345 - 0/3 Thief - 5/38 XCOM: Enemy Within - 0/31 Sniper Elite V2 - 21/42 Edited August 1, 2017 by jem12345 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemmie Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 We're just over a day in, and this has already become the most intense poll I've ever seen on PSNP that wasn't for some sort of prize. Our clashing strategical minds have brought trophy hunters from all over to support our causes. I can already tell this will be fun to follow over the next month. (If only we could show some more love for Time and Eternity.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemmie Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 It's been about two weeks, and we're still tied at 23 votes apiece. Which game will win?! (Psst, vote Time and Eternity please!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks to everyone who has kept this deadlocked in spite of Jem's constant grand-standing (begging) for votes! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, you did some begging yourself in a group message or two. Thanks for the vote, @Asvinia (I see you down there!). I greatly appreciate it!

GarciaFever Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I voted for Time and Eternity, as that's the only game I know out of the 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemmie Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) So it looks like I need to go all out for a tie-breaker in the THL, so I won't have time to play longer games like the ones in this plat race for a while. After a lot of begging, @Andrea and I agreed to push back the start time two weeks, giving everyone two more weeks to vote for Time and Eternity. The countdown and opening post have been updated accordingly. Edited May 30, 2017 by jem12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemmie Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 There are just a few days left before this plat race finally starts! I don't know how SEV2 suddenly got a spike in votes, but if you're reading this right now and haven't voted yet, you can help turn the tides by voting for Time and Eternity. Go out and change the fate of this plat race for the better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It indeed looks like a draw with both games on 42 votes btw by relatively long games I though I will see some plats that take minimum 100 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just LONG. To be fair, I made this around the time we were both still playing a lot of quick trash, so my view on length may have been skewed.

Maybe its just my point of view, there are indeed games that can be platted in 1-2 hours. When I see 2-4/10 difficulty and 15-20h time to plat I think of it like its an easy plat.

The plats are easy overall. We just wanted to play something in between cheap trash and extremely hard/long games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt the Dog Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 According to the trophy guide here, Time and Eternity takes way less than 100 hours. In fact, it takes exactly 38 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemmie Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 We just passed 100 votes! Thanks for all the support guys, but it's sadly not enough just yet. There are less than two hours to vote before this plat race finally starts! Time and Eternity supporters, we can still come back! It's still any game's win!

Based on my interests, Sniper Elite looks trashier than Time and Eternity. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it had a different battle system that was somewhat engaging, enemy patterns to figure out etc. Sure there was a lot of quests where all you do is go to the next dot on the map and mash through dialog but overall not at the bottom of the the garbage can covered in 1 week old sushi. I guess it was different, now 100 hours of it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks to the 107 (!!!) people who voted for our third game The competition is on, and I will see you in Sniper Elite 2, Jem! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown_v2_0 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Don't worry Jem, guns are a major part of TandE too so..... just pretend everyone you are shooting in Sniper Elite V2 is a cartoon and the games aren't too different, i guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemmie Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 The opening post has been updated. Sadly, I had to go out for a bit unexpectedly right before the race started, so @Andrea has an early lead. Let's see if I can do something about that.
