The description says "futuristic technology of any sort" so I'm not sure that general tech qualifies. I would think that futuristic tech would be anything that doesn't currently exist in today's world... but that's just my way of thinking about it.

Edunstar84 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 @eigen-space I thought it was tech in general. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the best way to look at it is either not widely available technology or things that dont exist. E.g Jetpacks, spaceships, interactive robots, holograms, a universal currency.

Yomako01 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Would Final Fantasy X HD count for this? It has reletively futuristic machines as enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzquaid Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 For anyone who doesn't have a game in mind for this month, Tacoma is out tomorrow on PS4 - a sci-fi walking sim from the Gone Home team, it had some very good reviews / reactions when it first came out for Xbox & PC last year. 15 hours ago, PermaFox said: May Technology: "Advanced Time Traveling Machine".

XX_FTW Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Late on my April update, sorry guys. With my time to play games decreasing as work busy season picks up, I’ve decided to adjust my approach to this event and just go for story completions of monthly themes. That said, idk what I’ll play for May lol. LEGO Marvel Superheroes - Story Completion Never Alone - All Released DLC (For March 4-in-1, Abzu) Regarding June/November, looking at the themes I always thought they’d be a pick your own adventure type of month where we, free from thematic restraint, picked a game from our backlog to complete. The HCR could be something like “Must have last earned a trophy over a year ago” or “been in your backlog for 3 years” or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrutalLooter Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hello there, i platted Guardians of the Galaxy (first platinum after a long “platinumless” time), which i guess fits the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eigen-space Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) @XX_FTW, Never Alone is a GREAT game, but it definitely doesn't have any tech aspects. It's all about the Inuit lifestyle. Also, as one of the additional challenges for this event in general is to complete a game where you earned a trophy over a year ago, I don't think it's a good idea to duplicate that as a HC requirement.

I liked the main portion of the game, but it had some glitches etc. The DLC was complete garbage, glitchy as hell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The puzzles were also of way lower quality than the rest of the game IMO, and it was pretty short. Liked the main game, thought the DLC was garbage.

I had it downloaded and had no issues. But I can definitely see what you're saying about the puzzles... there wasn't much to them... pretty easy to figure out. I personally found them a bit more challenging than you probably did... not because the logic parts of the puzzles were difficult, but rather because they required a certain amount of dexterity that I don't have I thought the boss in the DLC was fun to figure out. But it was just more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShogunCroCop Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I have a suggestion for June...since the World Cup begins in June, and takes place for much of the month, maybe June can be sports themed games or games that have a sport in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eigen-space Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 @RizzleAbbey12, just finished the story for Romancing SaGa 2 (indicated by Hero of Legend trophy). I have two trophies left but I'm bored with the game and not in the mood to grind them out. So it'll probably just stay at story completion. Minor Theme-- There's a robot in the game called Coppelia who has advanced AI that you can recruit for your team (which nets you a trophy). She's even so self-sufficient that she chooses her own actions in the game, unlike any other character. She can even become the emperor (which has another trophy tied to it). As for Life is Strange... I haven't played it so I don't know how the time travel works but... if any sort of machine is involved for the time travel, I think it should count. If it's just a supernatural or super power, then there is no tech so it shouldn't count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomako01 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Somehow completed the lightning dodging in Final Fantasy X and acquired the platinum for it I think it would count towards the requirements, as it contains enemies that are machines, but are much more advanced than most of the games world. It also contains an Airship. It would also fulfil these. Complete a Game in which you got your first trophy a year ago. Complete a retro game (Released originally in 2002) Edited May 9, 2018 by Yomako01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I was thinking. I completed and which fulfil the Technology portion. I'm going to be stringent and say that neither of these officially use tech past 2025 as the Delorean uses tech from 2015 (supposedly) and even though the tech in GotG is advanced the actual timeline is the same as ours so set in the early 2000's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDB_Chaotic Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Id like the idea of a month that includes co-op, where the game we complete must have some sort of co-op/ multiplayer aspect. The HCR could be must include a trophy related to co-op. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
