Kevvik Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm planning on doing Rime. Was going to work on Okami HD as well but KYC 6 has announced so I likely won't have time for a second title next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or anyone have an award winning game they think we should check out? An award winning game would be Inside. It has no plat though and thus would only grant a gold rating. Both Uncharted 2 and 3 won awards for best grapics as well. Other games include: Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Crysis, God of War 3, Maybe that helps somebody to find a game for next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent10201 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm planning on doing Rime. I'm going to go back to Persona 5 next month as well but I doubt I'll finish it by the end of March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edunstar84 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I really, really wish I can do Ni No Kuni 2 as my game, but Easter holiday is at the end of the month, and I won't be able to do that. Anyway, is it possible to choose a 100% for next month? There's a few that don't have a plat, like Flower, Journey, and Child of Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrutalLooter Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi guys, i popped the plat for Bioshock: Infinite, which has a revenge story and it is the part of the main storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevvik Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Not much else to add for end month stats. Completed Dear Esther 100% in addition to Quest of Dungeons and Murdered: Soul Suspect that I addressed earlier so I'll close with stats. Overall, just the one title (Murdered:Soul Suspect) for the theme with a hardcore challenge. February Plats achieved: 2 100% games: 1 Completion rate: +0.36% Stats Platinums: 109 (+6 for event) 100% games: 46 (+2 for event) Completion rate: 80.50% (+1.55% for event) We'll see how this month goes with KYC6 and a lot of work.

SyIaris Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) March's theme: What A View - Game must feature a wonderfully artistic view. Gorgeous, sweeping landscapes and unique art are major features this month. There's a lot to experience out there - don't be afraid to jump in! (ex: Rime, Bound, Firewatch, Journey...) Hardcore requirement: Game must have won an award for it's art/graphics. (ex: Uncharted 3, Okami, Monument Valley, etc) Now accepting entries for March; will continue taking updates for February for a day or two. Please update with any last-minute info soon. New challenge added! Complete a Game in which you got your first trophy a year ago. On 2/22/2018 at 4:30 PM, AS_CHAOTIC said: So if what a view wins, I think I might finish uncharted 3, which won the best graphics at the 2011 spike game awards, but because its the ps4 version would it count? Haven't heard back from Abbey on her opinion, but I'll say different releases of a qualifying game counts. On 2/23/2018 at 3:20 PM, ExHaseo said: Looks like I'll have to use a skip for the month. Unless finishing the Catwoman's Revenge DLC counts. Nothing else I've done this month has had enough of a revenge plot for it to count. Haven't heard back here either, but I can't remember a case of the DLC counting... I'd still call this pending until I hear back, but I think it's a no. On 2/26/2018 at 6:21 PM, Dessane said: Thanks it wasn't to hard a platinum just a long one! also do the challenges also get blue stars for doing extra plats for them over the year? if so I should have a star for the hardcore requirement and the different event challenge Hope you didn't find it too grindy by the end? Sorry, I'm not quite grasping your question. Challenges get a gold star for anything qualifying (gold/plat) done during that month. If you're short, just let me know and I'll fix it. 22 hours ago, fishy10101 said: February for me saw a couple plats, the main one counting towards the theme would be Need For Speed: Payback. I also got the platinum for Hitman 2 and Hitman Contracts which both have revenge elements for their stories but I think the theme specified that it was revenge towards someone they were close to so not sure they count. Looking forward to seeing what everyone is playing next month. Impressive, got you down for three. Looks like you're trying to wrap up Day of the Tentacle for a fourth - good luck! 15 hours ago, Edunstar84 said: I really, really wish I can do Ni No Kuni 2 as my game, but Easter holiday is at the end of the month, and I won't be able to do that.

Certainly, non-plat games can get you a silver or gold rank. 4 hours ago, BrutalLooter said: Hi guys, i popped the plat for Bioshock: Infinite, which has a revenge story and it is the part of the main storyline.

Nice set of games you've gotten done this month. Stats updated. KYC... probably tank your completion a bit, but I bet you'll do just fine.

SyIaris Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Sad little set of examples for the month is up. It's oddly difficult to try and find award winners versus looking to see if something is one. 1 hour ago, MarkusT1992 said: I think she said somewhere in the thread that remakes of award winning games count.

Kent10201 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Does the retro game need to fit the theme for that month? Because if not I got the Arcade Game Series: PAC Man plat at the beginning of the month . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishy10101 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 With Day of the Tentacle finished today that makes 4 Plats for the February theme! I don't see myself pulling that off again so I'm glad I got it done. I'd like to complete all of the challenges before years end so I'll keep at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ_Mystery Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Not sure for the March theme, but I will probably be downloading Shantae: Half-Genie Hero for the April theme since it looks like the theme is set. It fits the winning theme since Shantae is saving Scuttle Town from her archnemesis. AGAIN. OTHO, does it matter when in the month I have to plat the March theme game? I was thinking of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, so it looks freakin' gorgeous. I don't think it'll meet the Hardcore req, but it's got great art. PS: I saw the themes for later months and I hope August gets the Farmer Joe theme. It would be a great excuse to work on and plat one of the Harvest Moon games or Stardew Valley, which I thought about playing.

You want to know how good the first one is? Here's a joke that two characters get around to. I just paraphrased the dialogue since they go into a long crazy skit to get to the punch line: C1: "Excuse me, is this a weapon shop?" C2: "Sure, this is a weapon shop. What canna I do for ye?" C1: "I'm looking for a weapon." C2: "You'd be daft to be looking for anything else here! Whatcha looking for?" C1: "I dunno... how about one of those big choppy weapons, honed to a edge?" C2: "....I'm afraid I cannae help ye." C1: "WHAT?! Why not?!" C2: "That's just too big of an ax to grind!" *rimshot* My favorite part of the first game.
