Completed the following games that fits this months hardcore theme: Type Rider and Tales from the Borderlands. Congrats on finishing those games! I've updated your stats! 8 hours ago, Kevvik said: Wow, its the end of the month already. I didn't actually plat a game for the challenge this month. I guess I qualify for a silver as I finished the main story for Stranger of Sword City, a really enjoyable dungeon crawler. Still have a RNG drop trophy (something in me truly hates these since the RNG gods feel the same way about me, but I love dungeon crawlers and Operation Babel awaits!) to complete as well as the post-game dungeon. This should qualify as you go through a number of dungeons (underground, undersea, forests, towers, formal dungeons) and the hardcore talked about playing a large portion in dungeons/underground and that is what pretty much the whole game is about. Have been enjoying this much more than Demon Gaze that I did during the KYC 3.0 (no exceedingly inappropriate characters). Other than that all I finished during May was the plat for Steins;Gate which doesn't really qualify (unless you think it does ) but was still very good and a few FFX trophies. Didn't even play my PS4 or PS3 this month, just the Vita on the go due to being just too bloody busy with work and RL. Hopefully I'll have better luck in June. Stat changes for event Platinums - +17 (+1 this month) 100% games - +3 (no change this month) Completion rate - +0.54% (+0.06% this month) Congrats on finishing your games for May! I've updated your stats and I've counted Stranger of Sword City for the hardcore challenge so well done! Did you enjoy that game? 5 hours ago, cerafinn said: I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to clear a game that suited this month's theme in time, but I just finished Dragon's Crown. While part of the plot revolves around the titular Dragon's Crown, conflicts over borders and lands lead to the resurrection of an ancient dragon that will eventually raze the earth bare. The game also has a burial/resurrection system integrated into how you summon other players to help you offline. And, finally, the dungeons in Dragon's Crown are in a few underground locations (underground lab, subterranean fortress) and some of the others had caves that you had to fight through, including a brief trip to hell. I think this also fulfills the HC challenge of underground/cave locations. Stat changes during the event: Platinum trophies: +10 100% completed: +3 Completion: +3.48 Congrats on finishing your games for May! I've updated your stats and well done on completing the hardcore challenge for this month! 3 hours ago, BillyHorrible said: I buckled up and 100%ed rain yesterday (tried Kung Fu Rabbit for the final trophy first and couldn't get into it, then tried Laser Disco Defenders and couldn't get into it, so I figured in that final hour or so of playtime I might as well just get rid of rain), so you can up my 100%ed stat by one more. My current completion percentage is 51,61% so +0,93% since the start of the event. Unfortunately, I have just joined the Summer Backlog Challenge. Fortunately and by complete chance, I have added one game to that list that apparently is part of a franchise with exactly five games (talking about Invizimals, by the way) so that means I can just play that this month and I won't have to rush with getting LEGO Marvel Avengers done. Edit: Oooh, new poll! Well, I'm going to not vote for now as I have enough in both past and future themes, and that third one probably should not be an issue either. Plus, I doubt I'm going to do much gaming in July/August anyway, at least PlayStation gaming - yay, I can now just sit outside in the sun with my Switch! Congrats on finishing Rain and I've updated your stats. Good luck with Invizimals and I hope you enjoy the Summer Backlog Challenge. Playing the Switch outside sounds nice and you could even play it on your camping trip which should be fun for both of you 2 hours ago, MortalRikku said: No change to my stats really as I didn't compete what I had set out to do as got roped into playing the uncharted MP again and it's literally sucked away all my game time this month. As as it's a fresh month, I'm going to finish off tales of the borderlands and finally complete and maybe even plat FF15 As long as I stay away from the MP I should be fine haha! Okay thanks for updating and I know what you mean about multiplayer sucking you in. I played Dead Island again recently and was planning to platinum it in a few days, and then it ended up taking a couple of weeks because the multiplayer is so fun haha! Good luck with FF15! I think I may start that this month as I've had it since Christmas. 1 hour ago, Psy-Tychist said: Just the update for the thread: Stats before the event: Platinum trophies: 50 100% completed: 49 Completion: 48.32% Stat changes during the event: Platinum trophies: +13 100% completed: +6 Completion: +2.05% Thank you for the update!

My wife is often tired earlier than I am, especially after a day of walking, so I see plenty of evening hours of Switching during our future holidays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just completed the plat for this (on lunch break) though I'm not in a position to sync for a few hours. Is it too late to get my plat for the May challenge?

No, it's a single player experience managing a party of up to 6 characters including your main ("the Chosen One") with turn-based battles. I put about 87 hrs into the platinum though the last 15 were grinding for 2 katanas that are required for trophies before I headed into the final battle in the post game dungeon. Might take others less but the RNG gods and I aren't on strong speaking terms regarding gear drops... Also did some grinding prior to later battles just to make sure the party is strong enough and is carrying strong enough gear. The divinity skills don't play a big part until the stronger opponents. By then you have to be fairly comfortable with managing them or it's easy to forget for a turn or two and get wiped. Still I enjoyed it and felt it a far better and more enjoyable experience than Demon Gaze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does sound like a good game, glad you enjoyed it! I know what you mean with the RNG trolling you, that's always annoying. Sounds like a bit of a sharp learning curve with those divinity skills, though, yikes. 4 minutes ago, RizzleAbbey12 said: Congrats on finishing your first plat for the month!

Don't get me wrong, it's put together well and the writing isn't bad - I just dislike the main character and that saps a lot of enjoyment out of a game for me. If the trailers appeal to you, there's no reason you can't enjoy it! Only had it because it was in that humble bundle a while back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey97 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Since May is over now and some participants haven't updated yet, I just thought I'd send out a little reminder to everyone and to also see if your all okay! As usual, if you haven't played anything and as such don't have anything to update with, then your May month will be kept as a bronze trophy. @blxckenigma @DrumKing294 @ExHaseo @Fitzquaid @NekoSama87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent10201 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 May has been by far my most successful month of trophy hunting. I ended the month with thirteen more plats and many of them count for May's theme. Time for an update: Dead Synchronicity - Not sure if it count's for May's theme however the game has a few underground segment's which may allow it to count for the month. Deponia - The game takes place in a world made out of junk and there are a few underground segments. Volume - Does not count for May's theme Batman - Not sure if this counts for May's theme however, part of the game takes place underground Severed - Most of the game takes place underground which fulfills the hardcore requirement Mr. Massagy - Does not count for May's theme My Name is Mayo - Does not count for May's theme Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late - Does not count for May's theme Uncharted 4 - A Thief's End - Many of the game's chapters take place in caves and the game is centered around archaeology which fulfills the hardcore requirement Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus - Does not count for May's theme Doom - The plat was already prepared and used for a previous month Lego Dimensions - The plat was already prepared and used for a previous month I would like to use the Severed platinum image for the month of May and the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End for the hardcore requirement. Thanks in advance ! I also got the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered platinum after today which count's for June's theme and the hardcore requirement since there are five games in the series with a sixth one on the way. I'm looking forward to another great month of trophy hunting and I'll update here again once I've made more progress.

This is more to inspire people to try out or finish things that might have otherwise been ignored - there's nothing wrong with having fun with other games. You could use a skip with Persona 5 (or possibly something else, since the date sorting is rather broken) for a platinum rank in May, if you'd like?

By the way, that platinum image for Atelier Ayesha Plus is absolutely beautiful! What are those games like? Did you enjoy playing them? Not really no. After playing and completing 4 in the series, I can honestly say that I don't really enjoy the alchemy and time management system. Story-wise, they're not deep either. Although I did enjoy Escha & Logy. The thing is I started on the Plus version of Ayesha, which is more difficult than the vanilla PS3 version. My fault really as I didn't actually read up on this version. In all the games, you use alchemy/synthesizing system to achieve your goal, which could be to save your sister (Atelier Ayesha) or developing your kingdom (Atelier Meruru). Each game's alchemy system is not the same though. Some are easier to understand than others. The time management comes in different variations of the games, as well. For example, in Ayesha, you have 3 years to save your sister with no short-term goals. In Rorona, you had a goal every 3 months. Also, there are several events and endings based on completing your friends' requests. These are time-limited, too. The battle system comes dead last. Though if you're not prepared for the few bosses that you do encounter or even some of the mobs when you go adventuring, then you pretty much die. Through alchemy, you're supposed to create attack, healing and support items to help you through gathering items for requests or for more alchemy items. Hope this explains what the games are like. I heard the newer ones are easier to get into than the Arland and Dusk series. So if you are interested, I would check out videos for Atelier Sophie or Atelier Firis.

Well it's a shame you didn't like playing them. Thank you for explaining what they are like as I have been looking at them for a while but, firstly, they are quite expensive even when they are used and secondly, I wasn't really drawn in with the alchemy system/combat. But I'll have a look at those that you recommended and see what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusT1992 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I'm playing GTA Vice City for this month and boy are the controlls outdated. I finished this game many times on PS2 and hadn't that many problems with it. I mean you can't even rotate the camera with the right stick. You switch in first person mode instead, which let's you rotate the camera. And I'm still having problems at the same missions as back then. But it's still a great game.
