eigen-space Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just now, SyIaris said: That seems a bit too much of a stretch to me, to be honest. Not a hard no, but... well, I excluded one of my own games that had a tiny gardening sidequest. No worries Sometimes it's hard to gauge what's too much of a stretch for all the various events.

Definitely. There should totally be line in the challenges for the record "applies to another event" number. I wanna see someone that pulls off six with one game.

Mesopithecus Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Would I maybe be able to use No Mans Sky for this month? It's only the DLC I've completed so maybe just a gold grade? There is farming of resources in that, and a building element where you can build a farm. If not then that's cool, depending on what I end up playing in the next week, I may use a skip on this month.

Kevvik Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) OK! Got my platinum for this month (after taking forever to catch the freaking Legendary Fish)... Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland Good for a monthly platinum, Hardcore (raising animals and crops) and the Retro challenge (originally released for PS2 in 2001). Also finished the platinum for Word Search by POWGI which I casually flittered through on the Vita while out at camp last week in my spare time. Good for those down times but not applicable to this month's theme. Edited August 27, 2018 by Kevvik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoaoQuique Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Short update: since I do not have any game that fits this month's theme (and I would like to play...) in any Plsystation system, and I would not be able to get a Platinum Grade for Pokémon Y (I've been playing this game along past weeks, however, I think I should complete the National Pokédex to be granted the Platinum Grade...), I will use a skip for this month. So, by using a skip, I can say I finished Mecho Tales for a Platinum Grade for this month. Here's my stats: Stat changes during the year: Platinum trophies: +19 100% completed: +9 Completion: +1.77% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, part of me is hoping that the next Pokemon game has some sort of achievement system built into it. They did that for Black/White 2 with those badges.

Dessane Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hello Hello Hello! Sorry I've been away for a while, I've been pretty crook plus world of warcraft has been taking up most of my spare time (made so much gold though so woo) I have updated @Kevvik and @JoaoQuique but will wait to hear what Sy thinks on yours @Mesopithecus. Hope you've all been doing well this month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent10201 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I managed to get the plat for Ark: Survival Evolved this month which involves you taming and raising dinosaurs. Dinosaurs count as animals, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyIaris Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Level-ups won, for once with a solid margin. I'll be working on the main post and rollover, may take a bit.

I honestly can't remember how just-DLC's been handled before. But sure, gold sounds reasonable.

MarkusT1992 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Forgot to post my update for this month. I got the plat for for Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. It's more an exploration/crafting/questing game but you can also have some farms to raise animals and plant crops, so also a hardcore star for me. The only real annoying thing was collecting the 55 cats. I started to get them after everything else was done. Only then I learned that some cats only spawn in specific seasons which means I had to wait a whole in game year to get every cat. Apart from that I had fun playing this game. Also here are my stats: The completion is a bit lower because of KYC two months ago and a new Rocket League DLC. It was at a plus of 5,70% Platinum trophies: +17 100% completed: +4 Completion: +4,23% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyIaris Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 September's Theme: Level Up! Game must feature a progression/ levelling feature. HCR: Must reach level 25 or unlock 15 progression skills in the game. Who doesn't enjoy that flash or ping that lets you know you've got skills to upgrade? Dive in and go for something that lets you level like a maniac! Hardcore ex: Borderlands, Destiny 2, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, just about any RPG November will be open to suggestions, so feel free to throw some out! Got sidetracked and I'm not real happy with that, may rewrite it when I have more time... @MarkusT1992 Thanks for getting that in when you did, timing worked out well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edunstar84 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) So I'll be using my skip for August, and I'll use Ni No Kuni 2: The Revenant Kingdom as my plat. Progress so far: Platinum trophies: +15 100% completed: - (no change) Completion: +2.29% I also voted for Shadow Stalking. I'm not really into horror or jump scare games. I'm hoping the stalking theme wins as I plan to use Rise of the Tomb Raider Edited September 1, 2018 by Edunstar84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzquaid Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Catching up with the thread - it hasn't been a great summer for gaming here, so I didn't finish any games at all back in July, or even really play anything at all. I have two finished games for August, but I don't think either of them qualify for the theme (feeding the cat in Shenmue is as close as it gets) - could I use a skip to count Shenmue as my game for August, please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin_rob Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Good morning, this last month theme was pretty hard, since I've got interested in a sword art game again... I've been playing that for most of the time... I did Plat Rayman Legends, and I think since there are monsters/animals that you can collect and they give you an x amount of currency that it would count. If it doesn't I think I would have to use a skip with the same game lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevvik Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 OK, end August stats... Three plats complete. Neither Spellspire nor Word Search apply to the monthly theme. Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland got me the monthly plat, Hardcore and Retro challenge. Stats: Monthly Plats: +3 100%: NC Completion Rate: +0.82% Event Plats: 123 (+20 for event) 100% : 48 (+4 for event) Completion Rate: 79.74% (+0.73% for event) Let's see how this month goes but at least I'm back on track getting a game for the monthly theme done again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDB_Chaotic Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I finished Yonder this month. fun little gam although the end game was painful in terms of waiting for seasons to complete it. but the fact it was made by 3 people is unreal. This was also completed for the spelling bee and I wouldn't have played this game sooner and only did because if fit this theme. Stats at the start of 2018: Platinum trophies: 48 100% completed: 21 Completion: 58.07% Platinum trophies: 62 (+14) 100% completed 24 (+3) Completion: 60.93 (+2.86%) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eigen-space Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Finished up Mary Skelter: Nightmares for the month of September, which meets the HC requirement (there is actually a trophy which you need to achieve Level 81 for one character and then "devolve" yourself back to level 1 -_-;) and is also being used for the Spelling Bee event.

Uchiha_Snake__ Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I platted Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and it has some level progression mechanics, specially with your base that u have to level up in order to unlock new features... is this valid for this month's theme? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyIaris Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Well, the cat seems to be determined to use every single one of her nine lives and is improving, so I should be around more frequently again.

starcrunch061 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) So, absolute failure on farming. I'll need to use a skip for that. On the plus side, I should be knocking leveling out of the park. Currently on Ni No Kuni 2 and Dragon Quest XI. And of course there's a new Kemco RPG if I can't finish these long games by the end of the month.

Edunstar84 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I platted Tales of Berseria. It also fulfills the HCR requirement as it has a level 200 trophy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
