After goofing around with it for a while now, I've found that it's not checking your pitch, or even that you are singing the right words. It mostly the rhythm that you sing into the microphone matches up with the song. i.e. You're singing when you're supposed to be. I think you could plat it even if you're tone deaf. I heard a rumour that you actually don't need to sing at all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them are just simply about making it through x number of songs. Unlike Guitar Hero, if you suck, it doesn't stop you and have you fail the song. I think you wouldn't get the stars needed for the star road trophies though. I am singing in order to get 5 stars every time and get that out of the way as fast as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if you could like set up a fan to blow into the microphone, or maybe even put your microphone up to the speaker and get a star or two per song and get this plat while mostly idle. There are two trophies about getting 10 and 20 perfect timings in a row, but I got these on the very first song.

Psy-Tychist Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If anyone is looking for a fun game for 'Looking for Dad', try The Little Acre. I have that as my back up for Child of Light and is ready to Plat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMissFantasy Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 @Toogie53If The Little Acre drops in price (and it's cheap enough) before the events ends, I'll grab it and add it for #4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically anything that outputs consistent noise (fan, vacuum cleaner, running water in the sink) will be able to get you a couple of stars per song, a few times it even got five stars.

It boggles my mind that you can have a game based completely around singing and not program the part that can detect if someone is ACTUALLY SINGING!

Abbey97 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hey @Toogie53 . So I'm going to have to change my list as I sold my Xbox One the other day due to the fact that my mum has got me the new Minecraft Xbox One for Christmas! So that now means that I can't do the games I had planned. However, I have a new list for you to use so here it is: TREAT EVERY DAY LIKE CHRISTMAS! - The Escapists and The Escapists: Santa's Workshop DLC (PS4) In The Escapists, there is a snow based level in which you have to escape from and the DLC is pretty self explanatory . THERE'S ROOM FOR EVERYONE ON THE NICE LIST! - Prey (PS4) In Prey you have to make choices between good and bad and looking at the trophy list for this, there are several of those occasions. THE BEST WAY TO SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER IS SINGING LOUD FOR ALL TO HEAR! I may have to leave this one empty, if that's okay, as I can't really buy anything new as I've spent all my money on Christmas Presents. BYE BUDDY HOPE YOU FIND YOUR DAD! - Final Fantasy XV So I've seen some people in the event use this one so I think I'll put this one in here as well . I think you have to find your dad and bride-to-be as a part of the story line, but I haven't looked into it as I want to avoid spoilers. Sorry for changing my list again but this will definitely be the final change haha . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogie53 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) @Pikachu The music game was one of the pieces that I stipulated as required to earn the the badge. I want to be fair to the other guys so I won't give you the badge without it. However, I don't want to pressure you to buy something when you can't afford to. If you're comfortable with it (ask your mum too) you can provide me with your address via private message and I'll send you Just Sing through the post when I finish up with it and you can just keep it afterwards. I should be able to finish the platinum this weekend at the latest. If you don't want to share your address, that's totally fine. I'm sure we can work something else out. This is just the first idea that came to mind. Edited November 28, 2017 by Toogie53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to leave this one empty, if that's okay, as I can't really buy anything new as I've spent all my money on Christmas Presents. I only glossed over the thread because I have limited time but I'm pretty sure someone was doing FFXV for this one and as there is virtually no singing (except for humming the victory theme) I don't think the requirement is too strict. Looking at your list on psn I see:Borderlands the pre-sequel. If claptrap is in it then it may count as he is usually singing and imitating dubstep to the point where you want to throw him off of a cliff. I don't know about that game in particular though so you may have to ask someone that has played it.Shadow of Mordor may have singing (doubt it...) since it is based on Tolkien's books. Even the Orcs liked to throw-down every now and then.Destiny calls a lot of things related to the Warlock class singing (sunsinger) as well as several enemies from the Hive group (deathsinger for instance). The final dlc also made you play a song on a set of bells in a social space that is on a snowy mountain.Dead Rising 2 had a section where you have to assist in a musical number with a psychopath. It was really funny and would totally fit even if the whole game doesn't focus on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, true. I'm not very strict at all. The more musical the better but to each his own. I saw someone chose FFXV. I figured ithey knew something I didn't. Like maybe the group is the boy band they were rumored to be. Also, Shadow of Mordor has a lovely song by Gollum about how awful the main character is. I laughed at it. Also, I took a look at their profile too. Assassin's Creed Black Flag has you run around collecting 30ish different sea shanties. For those that don't know, shanties are songs. That seems pretty musical to me. Edited November 28, 2017 by Toogie53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMissFantasy Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 @Pikachu I'm not going to spoil anything regarding FFXV (as I'm about half way through the story) but you're only looking for your bride to be (that I understood from the beginning of the game). Have to finish the story to actually find out. I put the game for #3 because it has amazing music and tracks from all the other FF games. I'll just say enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the suggestions that @RVMcypress_grave and @xMissFantasy made (thank you by the way ), I think I'm going to use Final Fantasy XV for my sing challenge one then due to the soundtrack, plus I really fancy playing it anyway . I'll just leave the bonus challenge as I don't really have anything that could fit that one now I can't play on the Xbox. Sorry to keep chopping and changing my games around and thanks for your help. So my list is now: 1: The Escapists and The Escapists: Santa's Workshop 2. Prey 3. Final Fantasy XV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep going, when you get to the middle the music/boss fight combo is fantastic. The direction of the story shifts in the second half.

RVMcypress_grave Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 FFXV was amazing, can't wait for more multiplayer content. My gf made us some awesome ps4 headers from our ingame pics and a couple of cg. I already posted them elsewhere but here they are if anyone wants to see them (in poor quality. lol): Spoiler In actual news I managed to 100% my music game, Chronicles of Teddy: Harmony of Exidus so I will be moving on to another one of my Code of the Elves games after I finish Until Dawn for one of my Advent platinums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the one that bought me the game after I played it a bit at his place. I only ever played 7 (and I hate/suck at turn based games except for South Park ?). Was immediately hooked on 15 though.? More my type of game these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVMcypress_grave Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 3 more dlc packs coming out next year and the ability to swap between the main party characters, great news for FFXV. Just finished Until Dawn, it could totally count for #1 but I am still doing Hatoful Boyfriend because dating pigeons is both socially acceptable and a great Christmas tradition reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But @Toogie53 takes this to a whole another level... He role plays as the Elf from that movie with the fat guy from SNL and spreads holiday cheer. NEW META UNLOCKED.
