Popular Post Dessane Posted March 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not part of the event but I started playing Nier this week and it is remarkable. An amazing soundtrack. Beautiful graphics and pretty cool gameplay. I'm only about halfway through but can see there's so much story and lore below the surface. Would say if you like RPGs and haven't played it you should definitely check it out 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesitant to get into this as all the backlog games I wanted to play for various events will probably get pushed aside if I do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorajet Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I was considering Nier but with getting Bloodborne, decided to wait and work on the backlog. Every time I get close to buying a great game, PS+ gives us some nice freebies. ☺️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on sale for even cheaper locally here a couple weeks ago. I was so close to picking it up. I even called and had a copy placed on hold for me, but never actually went to the store to get it.

Come on Toogie, what is the next competition! ? Congrats on your progress! I plan to create the official event thread next weekend. Here's the info for you. It will have three games and a bonus. The event will be called Spring Fling and the categories are phrases with the word spring at the beginning. Spring Cleaning (pick one of the oldest things on your profile that you haven't finished) Spring Forward (Play a game with time travel or futuristic setting) and Spring Chicken (Pick a game with a young, innocent/naive protagonist). Bonus game is to pick a game with a good EASTER Egg. I thought about Spring Rolls as a category too, but couldn't decide how to make that a category. Maybe something with cooking... anyway, I plan to have my format be three games and a bonus going forward so I realized I didn't need another category and left that one off.

Evil_Joker88 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Cool that you give us the info for your next event already @Toogie53 I hope i'll finish the current though ? But i have good news: i've completed the second Episode of Broken Sword 5 so i'm halfway through ? But i have little time on my ps4 left so i'm not sure if i can complete both Journey and AC Freedom Cry... Again looking around different games to complete but Thomas was Alone is not among them, i don't own it (too bad isn't it Toogie) Played a bit more of Journey, still need all coop related stuff, but Toogie said we might get it tonight Journey: 0% --> 28% Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry (PS4): 0% Broken Sword 5 (Vita): ?? Hatoful Boyfriend: ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent10201 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 @Toogie53 I quite like the idea of the Spring Roll category. Any chance we could have a bonus, bonus game? In other news, I finished Wolfenstein yesterday. It was a fun, easy, straightforward plat. I think the story could have been a little more fleshed out considering how great of an idea the series is but other than that not many complaints. Onto my final game!

"Spring into Action" could be any big action game. "Spring Rolls" could be Cooking or Asian inspired. What do you think about that? Spring Loaded for getting drunk. haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set in Asia or based off Asian history/mythology could be a good guideline, so a game like Persona 5 that's set in Japan could work, but a fantasy world JRPG like a Final Fantasy game wouldn't. If you include this, maybe I'll try and be nuts and finish Muramasa Rebirth. Spring flowers could be another possibility though. People could pick games about flowers or that have flower related themes. Offhand two possible fits there could be flower by the same devs as Journey or Eufloria.

The idea behind "asian inspired" made me think of games like Persona 5, Yakuza, and Nioh. Not really like Final Fantasy or Secrets of Mana etc. How should I phrase it so it makes that distinction without just putting in a list of excluded games or something like that. I like to guide people in the right direction and not enforce rules about what games they pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to guide people in the right direction and not enforce rules about what games they pick. What I said of set in Asia or inspired by Asian history or myth probably is enough and you might just want to specify that being made by a developer in Asia isn't "Asian inspired". Yeah, those ones are good examples, some good history based ones could be stuff like the Hakuoki games, Muramasa Rebirth or stuff like Dynasty Warriors. A good example of based off Asian myth but isn't in an Asian setting could be Touhou. An Asian location though really should have plenty to choose from since there are a lot of games set in Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogie53 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Makes sense. I was just overthinking it. I suspect we'll get a few random JRPGs anyway though. I get surprised every event with some game choices. However, I think people revealing their lists is pretty fun, even if I shrug when I wonder how it fits the category. I'm satisfied to think, "It makes sense to them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donut_plz Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Friday morning update. Feels good to finally have Firewatch back at 100% after they added the dlc trophies and my original run through save corruption bs. Down to Journey left. Going to leave it till Monday/Tuesday so I can get the Return trophy legit without having to adjust my console clock. Should be able to mop it up in a day or so to make the deadline. ??? @donut_plz Journey - 0% --> 14% Firewatch - ? Never Alone - ?

Toogie53 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Friday Update: I was thinking I would not be able to finish off Mafia 3 until late Sunday night because I have a busy weekend coming up. However, Wednesday my wife felt super crappy and asked me to call in to work and stay home with her. Her pain level was too high and she thought she'd want me to take her to the doctor. I called in, but she ended up falling asleep and stayed asleep for the entire day. This meant I had several unscheduled hours that I normally wouldn't. I spent pretty much the whole day playing Mafia 3 and wrapped it up that night. Now I just have my bonus game. I'm not sure how fast I'll have that wrapped up, the sooner the better though. The event is almost over!! Journey - Ratchet & Clank - Mafia III - Uncharted 4 - No Man's Sky - 7% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorajet Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'm working on RiME. Besides being a really sad game, I'm trying to get the one bubble trophy. Having some problems with this one! @Toogie53 Congrats on your Maifa III plat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafia 3 was my original bonus game because of the ties with the Irish and some mentions or the I.R.A. (Irish Mafia). After the first playthrough took me so long, I knew I needed to make some changes. I dropped Final Fantasy XV from friendship and put Mafia 3 into its place. No Man's Sky was my new bonus game after that because of the creator being Irish. 2 minutes ago, Lorajet said: I'm working on RiME.

That one bubble trophy is kind of a pain in the ass. It is at one of the least fun parts of the game so I remember just wanting to get it over with. You'll get it done soon I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
