The Love Boat

[Toogie53]

I have no problems if you overlap games with other events... I just remembered I signed up for another event and forgot about it. Lol!

[Toogie53]

I've updated everyone's percentages and sent out the event badges to those that earned them. I have not yet made the bonus game badges, but with @CJ_Mystery's input, I decided on a celtic knot type of symbol.

Eh.. I might as well update this now. I think I put No Man's Sky off for too long since I didn't like it very much. It might be possible that I could finish this on time. However, I'm going to play it safe and make a last minute change up to my own list. @Dr_Mayus just happened to be perusing my trophy list when I sent him the badge for this event and pointed out that I may want to consider a game where the main character has a last name starting with Mc and an ancestor named Seamus. It 's confirmed in canon that Seamus is Irish born and lived in a lovely place called Ballybowhill. It's so very Irish and it never crossed my mind. It's also a game that came so very close to making my Spring Fling line up and I was a little sad to cut it today. So the timing of the suggestion was perfect and got me excited. Without any further delay... my game is... based on a movie... and... McFly... Delorean.. Great scott!!! It's... Back to the Future: The Game!

Yeah, I watched all of the movies in that series and Michael James Fox was quite the looker. In fact I have a nephew named after him. Good luck.

Wow, this event ends tomorrow. Snuck up on me. So obviously, I am not going to finish the games I selected. But that's ok. I am looking forward to the next event.

[donut_plz]

Guess who bloody well finished his list (under the wire I might add).

 

Journey was a lot of fun but the game took way longer than I thought I should. Likely because the Companion trophy didnt pop until the 4th attempt at running through the game with a random.

Not sure why it didn't pop the other times but Im just happy it finally did.

 

@donut_plz

1. Journey - 0%  --> 14% --> 90% --> ?
2. Firewatch - ?
3. Never Alone - ?
4. Unravel - 
5. Burly Men at Sea -

Ends Monday. Not sure if that helps.

I'll be able to make progress, but likely still won't get all of them done. I am Irish, so I'll be drinking heavily tomorrow in celebration. My hangover on Sunday is going to be brutal.

[Lorajet]

? Running into a problem with Drunken Master trophy....game is glitching.  Frustrating being at 98% completion ?

[Toogie53]

I saw that you are 98% on your last game. I figured you were actively working on it. But then  noticed it had been at least 6 hours since you popped the second to last trophy.

Yea, unfortunately, I'm at work.

Man, I did awful this time I've had a weird mental block on gaming lately, even when I have had free time I always chose to play something else. It was a fun event, though! Thanks again for another fun event (and for the help of course~).

I laughed so hard when I read that!  Agree with you.  If I'm not stuck at the job, I'd rather be with friends or surfing than sitting in the house playing a game.

You're welcome to the help. I don't think you're awful or anything ?. I personally find it more satisfying hearing that people had some fun and got a sense of community and shared experience versus them finishing all the games. If you're up for it, I'd be glad to see you in the Spring Fling!  

[ladynadiad]

So I can actually complete this, can I just swap Blue Reflection in as my bonus game?  Started it last weekend and platted it early this week.  I'm calling it Irish because of its lack of potatoes, the existence of a luck stat and Lime's outfit is mostly green.

[donut_plz]

Luck stat - ☑️

 

Sounds Irish to me. ??

Works for me.

Totally agree.

Leaving things to the last minute is my specialty.

• Never Alone - 100%
• The Walking Dead: Season 2 - 100%
• Oxenfree -
• Life is Strange: Before the Storm -

No bonus game, but I'm happy I managed to complete the event at all! 

 

I ended up enjoying the Foxtales DLC for Never Alone more than the base game, so thanks to Toogie for getting me to pick that up.  Meanwhile Oxenfree was very good and definitely my cup of tea - I probably wouldn't have played it four times in a week under normal circumstances, though!

I keep forgetting about Oxenfree. I picked it up on a sale ages ago and just haven’t got around to it yet. Glad to hear it’s worth playing.

The insights on Never Alone/Foxtales were really great, weren't they?  Nice game.

[masaru-san]

@Fitzquaid How is Oxenfree? I just picked it up and was gonna see if it'd be the type of 'slow-paced' game my girlfriend would like to play.

 

Phew, finished just in time!

Completed Stardust Vanguards a couple days ago.

It was a pretty fun, fast-paced multiplayer game and the survival mode was actually pretty challenging too. Also, as a fan of Gundam, I can't help but admire the sprite art. I think I'll try unleashing it during Easter dinner.

 

On the other hand, Amy almost killed me with how janky it is.

At one point I took the wrong path and missed a key item. When I doubled-back enemies respawned in their original spots so I had to restart the level. On top of that, the last boss was near-impossible on hard mode until I looked up a strategy.

Terrible game; glad to have finished it.

 

All done now:

1. Amy -
2. Guardians of the Galaxy - 
3. Life Is Strange: Before the Storm - 
4. Stardust Vanguards -

Thanks @Toogie53 for hosting yet another great event!

Woot! Congrats on wrapping it all up. It sounds like we feel the same about Never Alone and Oxenfree. I'm glad you enjoyed the DLC that I forced you to buy.

Woot to you too! Wrapping it up! The events are nothing without the people participating making them worthwhile. I'm glad you enjoy them. 

 

 

I've got 3 of 5 episodes done for Back to the Future. Still plenty of time for the other two. I think I'd be done already. However, I'm had to do some logo design work earlier for a family member and even now I'm trapped at my sister's house. I might get to finish tonight. If not, its for sure in the bag tomorrow.

I made it just in time! 

 

1. Nier Automata - 
2. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - 
3. XBlaze: Lost Memories - 
4. Wolfenstein The New Order -  
5. Demon's Souls - 

 

I played some really awesome games this time around so I'll give some of my thoughts on each of them.

 

Nier Automata is one of the best games I've ever played and managed to creep it's way into my top 5 favorite games of all time. This game has everything from an intriguing story, loveable characters, a beautiful soundtrack, gorgeous graphics, smart, fun and fast paced gameplay and an overall sense of charm you don't find in that many games. If you haven't picked this up and played it yet all I have to say is, what are you doing with your life? 

 

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy was also another great experience. There is no doubt that the Uncharted games have always looked beautiful but this one brings it to another level. The lush scenery was something that would make my mouth hang half open in awe. Playing as Chloe was a breath of fresh air and I really enjoyed seeing more of Nadine as well. I'd love to see more Uncharted games that focused on other characters in the series because this one showed how much potential they could have.

 

XBlaze: Lost Memories was boring and left everything to be desired. I have nothing good to say about this game other than I was glad when it was over.

 

Wolfenstein The New Order was a pretty fun experience but I wish the story was fleshed out a bit more. The characters had so much potential and it just left something to be desired for. The gameplay mostly made up for it though because there's nothing more fun than shooting Nazis on a Saturday night. 

 

Demon's Souls is my first Soul's plat and despite the fact that I got the weapon drops from someone I'm still proud of this plat. Despite the fact that it came out nine years ago, the game still looked pretty good and the gameplay was great, as is with any Soulsborne game. I've tried Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne and have stopped halfway through in both so I'm glad I stuck this one through. I enjoyed it so much that it's inspired me to go for the entire Soulsborne series so I'm looking forward to doing that later on in the year. 

 

As always thanks for hosting another great event @Toogie53. Looking forward to the next one!

Yeah, I haven't watched them all yet but they all seem like interesting mini-documentaries, it's a nice bonus feature.

It's definitely slow-paced - basically an adventure game with the focus on the narrative rather than puzzles.  Most of the gameplay is wandering around 2.5D environments while talking to other characters.

I'll update everyone's final percentages at work tomorrow. I've made the event badge already and sent those out to most finishers already. The bonus badges aren't done yet. Ive settled onto a design and just need to do a little work in Photoshop. You should see those by next weekend. I will post again when I think all the badges were sent out, so you know to contact me if I messed up and didnt send yours or something. Good luck to anyone still working on finishing things. I just wrapped up my bonus game minutes ago myself. Thanks for a fun event! You guys are what makes it worth doing.
