Boomshanks Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) FLOW (PS3) Enjoyment: 7/10 Difficulty: 3/10 The trophy guide says you can complete this game in about 3 to 6 hours but it only took me 9 years and 2 weeks. I bought this game around the same time as Flower and though I loved the latter, I thought this game was just okay… Cue me not playing it for years and then forgetting about it. That is until 2021 when I started cleaning up my PS3 backlog. I was afraid the game would be deleted from the store so it was finally time to complete it. That and I needed a light game after finishing the massive grind that is Black Ops 2. And this time, I really liked it. In Flow, you control the character with the Sixaxis and you basically eat food and go down layers until you get to the end where you unlock a new character and do it again. If you get hit by an enemy you get put back to the previous layer. It’s a simple concept and a simple game. The levels are relatively short and the game is meant to be very relaxing and the music most of all succeeds in this aspect. Seriously, look it up, it’s incredibly zen ?. I think the mistake I made the first time was wanting to rush through it. On this occasion I took my time with the game and enjoyed it much more. I just went for the trophies one at a time and most can be gotten in about twenty minutes. Doing it this way, it really is a relaxing game. Almost all trophies ask you to complete a campaign in a certain way, for example in a certain time or without eating anything. Because of the trophy rarity, I was afraid this would be a difficult game, but I got all trophies within my first few tries. The trophy for eating all of the advanced creatures without eating any food can be difficulty but you just have to be careful and take it slow. There is an excellent guide in the comments from Superbuu3 which I used throughout the game . All in all, for a game I didn’t enjoy when I first played it, I was surprised by how much I liked it when playing it now. It’s a fun relaxing game to play between the more dedicated and intense games you’re going for. Edited August 2, 2021 by Boomshanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baranov_925 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Watch Dogs®: Legion - Bloodline Completion was earned on 11th Aug 2021Time - 10h Difficulty - 1/10Holy Mick Foley. That was one of the best DLC's I've ever played and I didn't play much DLC's. Glad to see that Aiden's story wasn't buried back in '14. Finally understanding his mind after Jackson's sister passing is frightening yet so interesting. Everyone who is planning to buy WD Legion, should take also season pass for that DLC.

the1andonly654 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The Witcher 3: Complete Edition. I've played it before actually, at a time when trophies were the last thing on my mind so it took like half a year and I didn't 100% it. This time I did and while it was mostly fun in one way or another... This has got to be the most overrated game I've ever played. I loved the writing. Literally loved it, in polish especially. I'm polish and the amount of references, subtle cultural nods, the things that only polish people would understand, the way they're written and voice acted is incredible. The first time I've played it, I've played it in English and while I'm sure there were some things in the English version that I might have missed or misunderstood, this is the only game I've played that's simply inferior in English. Unfortunately, when the the writing ends, the gameplay begins and that's when the magic dies. Combat is... Fine, I guess? Just an uninspired loop of dodge and attack, even on death march difficulty. I don't even mind that. What I mind is the structure of both main and side quests. You accept a quest in one way or another. You go to a location. You follow the red trail. You kill the enemy. Want a twist? The trail of the red monster footprints leads you to a red trail of human footprints. Unless he used perfume or drank some wine. If he did, you get a trail of red mist. This would've been fine for a 20h game, but in a game of this scope, it gets old very quickly. I really like that the writers took the time and effort to write a fun and compelling story for each and every side quest, but it feels like their efforts were ruined by whoever was in charge of game design. By the time I started the first dlc, I was so tired of the game that it became a chore. Then it was time for the 2nd dlc. I didn't like the story, knights, virtues and shining armors are not my cup of tea... But there's Regis. Loved his personality, his voice, his relationship with Geralt. Guess what color were his footprints, when he disappeared during a very charming and dlc-saving-for-me final scene. If the gameplay is mediocre, at least it shouldn't interfere with great writing. I'm sure people who are more into this kind of fantasy setting than me have a vastly different opinion and can overlook more of the game's flaws but honestly, calling this a masterpiece or the game of the generation is a stretch, to say the least. What I would call it is a Ubisoft level open world game with much better writing that should've been much shorter to not overstay its welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 100% Control 6.50% - Very Rare This is a very unique and fascinating game, I spent roughly six months playing it and I think this makes it one of my most important games from 2021. I absolutely loved the unique setting and gameplay of this game, and I enjoyed the combat system: the two DLCs were also basically as good as the base game. However... It's just me, unless the game is obviously not oriented in that direction (Such as Fall Guys), the story and the characters are the first thing I care about in a videogame: I got emotional over videogame stories and characters countless times, and I adored it every time it happened. Under that point of view, Control is just not there. I actually tried to be interested in the story and what the game was about, but I just gave up after few sessions: to me, it looked like the characters were talking in way that they had just smoked weed, everytime I was watching a cutscene in order to understand what was going on... I was more confused than earlier. So at a certain point I just gave up and skipped every cutscene, and simply enjoyed Control for its gameplay. Reading collectables descriptions and the missions list didn't help neither. Another issue I had is the map: it is totally terrible and I can't count the number of times I had to rely on YouTube guides in order to know where I had to go. This map issue is not such a big deal as the story, but it ruined my overall enjoyment of the game. I still loved the time I spent with Control, as I said I think it's a very unique game and with its six months 100% journey surely highlights my 2021. Had the story been more enjoyable/easier to understand, Control would surely be one of my most favourite games of all time, but it isn't. It's a shame considering how much I enjoyed the gameplay, but I'm just a "story driven guy" ??♀️ In few days I will finally start playing Horizon Zero Dawn, I hope I will enjoy it ? And knowing myself, I doubt I will 100% it before the end of the year lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an awesome game that is unique and a class of it's own. Besides meeting some really nice people, the entire gameplay was fantastic. Soundtrack was top notch. I would definitely replay this game just to help others or just to glide hearing the wind beneath my cloak. Highly recommended. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on the brink of insanity with this puzzle game, but it was worth every #*(#*(#* comment, hours and staying up at night trying to figure this one out. Worth it, highly recommend it. As far as puzzle games go, enjoyed it a lot more than The Witness. This one actually had a nice storyline to go with it.

PondNewt Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I just got the 100% in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown. Though I like what I've experienced previously of Virtua Fighter as a franchise this version was a bit of a chore due to the awful trophy list which consists almost entirely of online trophies. There's one trophy for example for playing 1200 matches. I chipped away at it slowly trying to play a bit every day. It took me about 2 and a half months to finish with about 43 hours play time. This was playing the matches properly though as opposed to just letting people beat me so that added to my total time. Would have been faster of course had I just have stood there and taken a loss. I ended up with a "Defender" rank incidentally in ranked after my total 600 matches there. I did resort to boosting for the tournament/league match trophy however as that mode was tough to get into otherwise. Glad to get the whole thing done and dusted now as fighting online isn't something I particularly enjoy even in small doses so there was way too much required here for my liking. Nice to have what's currently an ultra rare 100% though. Speaking of which this game has nearly completely taken over my top 5 rarest trophies here on my site stats. Not sure how I feel about that but I guess I should take it as a positive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothGirlMaxine Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Guns Up - 100% Completion, including DLC packs! https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/4124-guns-up/StygianWolf4 I started this game in November 2016, and never got round to finishing it, but I'm so glad I did because this game was hella fun! Badge Of Honour was the last trophy I needed so I had to wait for the season to end, and I had all other trophies before then. The game is free to play but I did spend a bit of money to get gold for more munitions or perks to speed things up. Either way, another incomplete game done! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omelette Paradise Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Latest 100%: Mafia II Earned the plat for this way back in 2014 but I've finally finished off both sets of DLC trophies. Overall they were satisfying to play but I wasn't a fan of how the missions are all timed in an arcade style which kind of spoilt the immersion a bit when compared with playing the excellent main story. I had to leave my PS3 on overnight twice to get the infamous Explorer trophy (what were the devs thinking?). These DLC's have long since been delisted so I believe the only way of playing them now is by grabbing the Director's Cut version of the game, also know as the Platinum/Essentials/Greatest Hits labelled version depending on which region you live in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenrirfeather Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Anodyne Yes, the trophies are glitched in an odd manner. No, that absolutely positively need not deter from playing the game, as there is an amazing trophy guide available right here on this site and a video walkthrough that when followed dutifully holds your hand on the path to earning every trophy in one single playthrough. Anodyne is something else: it's an RPG but it's short, its mechanics are simple but encourage some out-of-the-box thinking here and there, the tilesets of ingame maps are also simple yet vibrant and harmonic but speeding through the game like a super hyper squirrel, there may not always be enough time to give credit for all that where credit is clearly due. When I wasn't smacking things with my broom left and right, I had my eyes glued to the tablet with the instructive speedrun video. The game is on PSNow right now; what's holding you back?

Ghost Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Challenge mode DLC difficulty - 4/10 Other DLC trophies - 3/10 Since the servers are shutting down on September 16, it was a good time to finish the DLC. Aside from the Challenge Mode, the DLC trophies were easy to obtain in a lobby with other players I met on Discord. There was some tricky parts in Challenge mode but nothing too hard. I didn't really like the MP. Farewell to a great single player game I enjoyed back in 2012. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) This is a spiritual successor to Retro City Rampage. It has a more SNES/Genesis feel to it, but it plays similarly. There are a couple differences. You are playing an aging CEO trying to rebuild his corporate empire by any means necessary (mostly by dubious means) while having to adjust to the times. He is assisted by his son and fixer, who are also playable. You can switch between them, but for the most part, they play exactly the same and little need to outside of when it's required by the story. It's a parody of how the corporate world works and exploits us. It still has the GTA vibes of the first game. I would advise buying up and upgrading some properties and do so regularly to minimize the postgame grind. The story is quite amusing and the scenery, music, and destructible environments are a nice touch. There are some challenges. Most of them are pretty easy, but a couple may take a few tries. Still, if you enjoyed Retro City Rampage, you'll likely enjoy this. I will be playing this again on PS5...whenever that is.

Popular Post DrunkenEngineer Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hope this is the right spot as I earned the 100% when I dinged the Platinum. So it counts for both? Haha. Platinum #22 + DLC 100% - Grand Theft Auto V (August 25, 2021) The game that needs no introduction, Grand Theft Auto V (GTAV) is widely considered a milestone for open-world titles. My first (and to this point, only) Grand Theft Auto game, GTAV introduces a 3-protagonist mechanic, a crime story reminiscent of Heat, Casino, Reservoir Dogs, and other pop-culture masterpieces, GTAV brought it all together into a landmark achievement that has become a victim of it's own success. The Good A level of technical excellence only to be surpassed by Red Dead Redemption 2 Fantastic mo-cap animations that have aged well some 8 years after the original release Car driving is an absolute blast, with moderately realistic physics and capability for some insane vehicular hijinks Truly beautiful vistas - you'll be rewarded for taking a Sunday drive and helicopter tour just to see what you can see The Bad The sardonic humor and parody of American values got old quick The length; it's way way way too long The third person controls are mind-boggling archaic - hold X to run? Doomsday Heist is awful, and GTAO has become a monster in of itself 100% Impressions Knowing that the next gen version is coming out Fall 2021 I bumped this up to highest priority anticipating changes to the Online. The game has been on my profile since 2014 and was one of the first games I picked up when I bought my PS4. I came back with save files at roughly 75% completion, and absolutely no experience with Online. It became quickly apparent that getting through the online base list wouldn't be difficult, just grindy. With the trick to establish a solo public lobby one could whittle away in relative peace. However, the Heist trophy lists were going to be no joke, especially Doomsday with the Elitist and Criminal Mastermind trophies with their ridiculously low completion rates. They require essentially flawless multiple completions of the Doomsday Heist, which in itself takes 6-10 hours per run! No way! I snooped around and found a community of folks who run those challenges and was able to find some reliable teammates and with their gracious help we managed to get them done over 4 very long sessions. With the stressful online portion complete, the single player cleanup was a very pleasant, uncomplicated, but long task. The stunt jumps and knife flights were beyond frustrating. Definitely use a guide for those! Otherwise, the Rockstar Social Club checklist was invaluable and with some time one can get the in-game 100% no problem. The Gold medal trophy was my last for the platinum, and I worked it out to hit it on a replay of the "Third Way", the canonical ending mission. My hope was the trophy would pop as the credits rolled, a perfect sunset to an arduous and rewarding project. What actually happened was I spent 2 hours setting this house of cards up, only to have the trophy pop during the loading screen after the mission when I was returned back into the open world. Hah! I really have to warn completionists against adding this fresh to a profile in 2021. You'd be looking at a 250+ hour project with no guarantee of a 100% given the frankly ridiculous trophy requirements for the Doomsday Heist DLC. If you are OK with having an incomplete game, by all means take the plunge. It was rightly considered a game of a generation and honestly everyone should at least sample it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) For a game that was made by a horrible organization such as PETA, this game wasn't as bad as I expected. That being said, it's still not that good. The only good thing is it's free. The gameplay is very boring and repetitive, it's obviously full of PETA's bullshit propaganda, and it crashed on me several times. That being said, this game was more a means to an end. A bit ironic kittens are the heroes since PETA thinks we shouldn't have pets. Edited August 30, 2021 by MidnightDragon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Omelette Paradise Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2021 Latest 100% - Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Well what a fun game. Just a shame it didn't have a platinum trophy and on that note I wish the game were longer. It's completely different to any Far Cry I've ever played. A neon infused homage to 80's sci-fi and action movies and packed full of pop culture references to movies from that time period along with witty puns and one liners from Michael Biehn who voices the main character Rex "Power" Colt. Movie fans of a certain age may recognise him as Kyle Reese in the original Terminator film. Oh and did I mention giant dragons that shoot lasers? There's that too.

Popular Post kRiZz_93 Posted September 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2021 - 100% Battlefield 1 w/ All DLC packs - Difficulty - 3.5 / 10 Enjoyment - 9 / 10 (This had be along time coming! I platinumed the base game back just after the launch, absolutely loved the game's multiplayer and found the micro stories in the single player quite interesting to playthrough. Now I played every DLC as they came out and thought they were all pretty solid. I started straight away on obtaining all new weapons by completing assignments, some were super easy to do and others are a pain as the DLC's lost their population quicker than I thought. Anyways, I've been attempting to revisit old Battlefield games for completion and so it began! I'm super happy to have achieved the rest of the DLC trophies naturally, without the need to boost; it took roughly a week of searching constantly for map rotations to land on expansion maps.) - 100% Little Nightmares w/ All three expansions - Difficulty - 4.5 / 10 Enjoyment - 7 / 10 (The idea of playing through a big world as a small character, sounded intriguing. I don't normally play games like this, but I thought that I would give it a go. The base game was pretty decent and had some great atmosphere noises that really keeps you on your toes. It takes roughly 3 hours to complete, that is if you go after all the collectibles. Now moving on to the DLC's, the first one was a bit annoying / disappointing, the 2nd and the 3rd was alright better than the first one for sure. The really kicker in terms of trophies is the 'Hard to the Core' one, this is a no death run to be completed in under an hour! ? This can take a few attempts, especially if you encounter a few silly deaths like falling off a plank or falling from too high up, but it is do-able if you stick to it.) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
