Popular Post Mr-ttaM Posted May 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hey all! Managed a couple new old completions during April. It should be 3, but the PS3 had other ideas ^^; Sly Minigames All 8 Trophies 18th April 2022 • Completed in 4 years, 3 months This is a small set of minigames, which was a part of the Sly 1/2/3 trilogy. I bet 1 and 2 'back in the day' but got distracted by something else new and shiny, so never unlocked the last minigame which required Sly 3. But a few years later, I went back to the series to finish it off and got this one, but due to unfortunate events (and the death of a PS3 ;_;), I don't have Sly 3 complete. The plat is earned and sitting unsynced on a PS3 with a dead networking card, and the save data is 'locked' meaning I can't transfer it via USB to a working one. Maybe there's something in the cloud, otherwise I'll revisit the game in future and give it another play! Final Fantasy X-2 HD All 35 Trophies • 6/10 1x 130h 2nd May 2022 • Platinum in 7 years, 2 months This one I started on March 2015, and gave it a couple shots (one in 2015 on PS3, another later in 2018 on PS4, and finally started over and played to completion within the last month or so) and am really glad I did. I played through on PS2 back in the day and adored the experience, and had forgotten just enough that it was both nostalgic and fresh. I also never had the international version so experiencing the new content for the first time was super cool! The number of small things that were required for 100% were a bit tedious though, esp. since they were so easy to mess up. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AUSTRALIANDJ Posted May 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Forgive my thesis - but this months deserves it. Considering we pushed through April Fools Day this was an absolute joke of a month! So basically the state of my list directs where this post goes. When i've got down to about low 20 odd games left in the backlog im finding it difficult to make sure I complete a game each month as some or should I say most of them, have incredibly difficult trophies. So my strategy has been to try and spread my time amongst games as some simply take more than the month to finish completely. I spent the first week or so of the month not worrying about backlog and playing newly added games to my list such as GT5 and It Takes Two to name a couple. Then once I feel the need I jump into the monthly game mode. I began my month with **Kingdom Hearts 3** I toiled through the story of this game, knowing about the DLC trophies that would be quite difficult. After a full play through of the game and all collectibles and grinding and platinum done, I tried the DLC. It was very much apparent to me that all of a sudden, I would need to do a full replay of the game in order to complete one of the more difficult trophies as you can't change the difficulty to an easier difficulty unless you start completely fresh. Most of the guides recommended playing on beginner and stupid me and wanted a decent level of challenge to do the game justice. (Bad move apparently) I did a complete rerun of the story and then had to commit to yet another playthrough for a different trophy which requires great effort and challenge to complete. At this point I felt quite burnt out and changed my tact. Feeling that enough inrodes were made on KH3 for potentially a May or June completion, I swapped my game focus. I then switched to **Ni No Kuni 2 Revenant Kingdom** Ni No Kuni 2 was very much the same mould as KH3. I had already completed the platinum for this game and was basically left with the slog through the DLC. And given the trophy that's most difficult is called Solosseum Slog - this aint no joke. Even when fulled maxed level at level 150 - this game requires absolute optimisation of your gear which requires grinding through dungeons and implementing the right tactics. After getting to stage 23 or 30 my team was suffering and not completing the battles I needed. My hands were hurting from the repetitive combat and feeling nervous that I wouldn't get it done I changed tact again. At this point there was about a week to the end of the month and **GTA San Andreas** seemed a reliable game that if i pushed hard I could complete it before deadline. I worked diligently to push through this game despite a busy schedule and even leading into the final Saturday of the month had about 10 or so hours to put into the game. Estimated at a 30 hour completion its safe to say my skills probably aren't where they should be, that or my game had done a lot of AFK and counted the time needlessly. After crushing most of the trophies I came up against one or two that were problematic and I had commitments that night. Keeping in mind had I just started with San Andreas at the beginning of the month I wouldnt have this issue - but this is what the challenge of doing a yearly backlog presents. Then the absolute troll moment. One of my other game **Habroxia 2** had dropped 3 new DLC trophies that looked like death. Habroxia was a rather cheap and easy completion but the developers seem to decide sometimes to drop extra DLC trophies to reasons that confuse me. Surely a few trophies here or there isn't worth the effort into the small player base the game has. Nevertheless they do. Now I take my games and backlog seriously - I don't count platinums unless they are the 100% and completing a DLC that ins't the whole thing doesn't count neither. So the way I view my success is if I complete a game over 6 months fully to the 100% that hasn't already been claimed. So if i claim a game and later they add DLC then too bad I've used it. Fortunately for me, Habroxia was a quick completion - the first time a week, and then after the first DLC 5 months so it never qualified as being elligible for the competition. It was a complete cheesy move but after an hour or so at those trophies - space shooters are a good genre for me, it was done on the final day of the month. So after all my months hard work grinding on three titles to make headway - none of them are complete and don't know when and I've cheesed the month with the most fortunate of times with 3 trophies dropping for an easy game on deadline day. I hope this counts and @Gretchen27 I hope you agree with me. For anyone that listened I really hope you sympathise. It's felt like I've completed 3 games this month and got bugger all to show for it. On to May. - I should say I really am set up - but these games are still no joke! Edited May 2, 2022 by AUSTRALIANDJ addition info 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JayDeLosDioses Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Helloooow ladies, gentlemen and everybody else Been a while but I've got two completions Before I write a bit about them, if anyone is interested in getting The Division 1 done with me, please let me know. Not in a hurry to get them, just trying to clean out my unfinished stuff I still own on disc. Spoiler (Don't like sessions anymore, been ghosted in the last 4 - on that note, if any of you guys need help with games I own, or aren't 80 bucks in the store, feel free to add me anytime. Happy to help with anything that isn't CoD or FIFA. And I might also need more friends who actually play a game to the end with me ?) F1 2021 It's the usual tbh. I play the game daily, having a lot of fun and then stop for whatever reason, Once the new game has a released date, I rush everything that's still missing. Still have the whole PS4 version to do, I paid for that, I'm getting that platinum! Maybe this year I should do the trophies first and then play casually, so I don't have to worry about anything Far Cry 6 Haven't enjoyed that one. It's getting boring. Or maybe the story wasn't for me. Castillo was the worst antagonist so far, he was boring and stupid ... I know they have to be stupid, that how games work, why kill the other guy when you can make it dramatic... but please don't make them boring. Since I don't really watch movies or series, I don't know the actor who played Castillo, friend of mine said it was a big deal and he liked him playing the role, can't see why do. The special operations on Mastery 3 just suck, at least the two spammed with flamethrowers. At least the DLC somewhwat saved it for me. All three of them where surprisingly enjoyable. The Joseph Seed DLC made me want to play FC5 again. Next on the list: Snowrunner. Edited May 4, 2022 by JayDeLosDioses 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the time stamp, that's on my timezone. No worries just wanted to make sure, I did hope to have it in the March list but the final boss decided he wanted to waste 3 minutes of my time so I got it at 12.03am on the 1st Edit: 07/05/22 I just wanted to add to this post that I got the first of my May games done today, I have one more in mind to be done this month and will see if I can get a 3rd one completed but the first game I've done is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for the PS4. : A New Hope Rarity: 31.22% Uncommon Time to Platinum: 2 years, 2 months, 1 week I had been meaning to finish this game so long ago but some reason I just couldn't get myself to start it, with 4th of May being Star Wars day I used that as an excuse to get this game finished, this game had some ups and downs for me, I enjoyed the story and watching Cal grow as character, BD-1 has quickly becopme one of my favorite droids along side R2D2, the worlds looked amazing and I loved the combat and force abilities.. OH and the AT-AT section on Kashyyyk, loved that part. The only parts I really did not enjoy were going back to the planets to 100% them after the main story (I'm looking at you Zeffo) because of the lack of fast travels which I didn't mind too much on some planets, a few of the puzzles didn't sit well with me... oh and the giant spiders on Kashyyyk can F**K RIGHT OFF! Overall though I'm so glad to have played through the game and finish it finally, also got a 2nd platinum thanks to the save transfer for the PS5 version, if you are a fan of soulslike games and a Star Wars fan then give it a shoot, My next game I'm thinking either Star Wars: Republic Commando though it will most likely be Celeste which is almost at the 6 month timer.

Popular Post Chrysler_80 Posted May 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2022 First Trophy 21st Oct 20184 years ago Platinum 30th Dec 20202 years, 2 months, 1 week 100% 11th May 20223 years, 6 months, 3 weeks https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/8143-marvels-spider-man/kissoon32 So I went back and cleaned up a few DLC trophies in Marvel's Spider-Man for the 100%. When I got the plat I went straight into all the DLC, so by the end I was getting sick of all the crimes and bases, plus those Screwball missions were screwing with me, so I just saw out the story and deleted it. Having a big break worked wonders because it was a blast to jump back in and zip around the city once again. This time I crushed Screwball's games and crashed her party.

Popular Post TomoTakino Posted May 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2022 Grand Theft Auto III All 29 Trophies So this one is being a little weird. It shows that my first trophy was 6 months ago on November 14th at 2:30 AM. However, even though I got my final trophy today, May 14th at 12:30 PM, it's showing as 5 months 4 weeks and 1 day. Technically it's a 6 month completion but if it doesn't count towards the goal, no worries, I'll try to get a different completion for this month. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sylvanticore Posted May 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hello all, my second game for the month has been completed now (Kind of) as I just got the platinum for Borderlands on PS4 : Borderland Defender You have defeated all bosses and are a powerful force to be reckoned with Time to platinum: 2 years, 1 month, 1 week, 6 days, 9 hours Rarity: 30.12% Uncommon. This wasn't my first choice for my 2nd game as I was thinking either Star Wars: Republic Commando or Celeste as my next game but I stopped on RC cause I was having issues with Hard mode and I ended up finishing Celeste much earlier for another event. My youtube suggestions as of late were always for Borderlands lore because of the new game so I decided to get the platinum for the original game, I'll do the DLC another time but at least another game is done. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ich1994-1994 Posted May 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2022 I was afraid to break my strek this month but ended up having a game done already^^ The Escapists All 46 Trophies 16th May 2022 • Completed in 10 months, 3 weeks Really fun little game. i bought it on sale with all DLC and started playing it without any guide. like this its actually somehwhat difficult. at least took me some time to figure out all the crafting and how mechanics work. i ended up platinuming it and then got kinda bored in the first DLC. now in my fear of breaking the streak i came back to it (using a guide for the DLC trophies as the escape also work a bit different in the DLC) and it was a pretty quick DLC cleanup in the end taken only a few hours in total. all in all a very nice game were you can try on your own for a bit of a challange and "skip" things you dont like buy using a guide. i will probably start working on watchdogs legion now. a game i started and then didnt really do anythig more. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post poetic_justice_ Posted May 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2022 Nuts. After 15 months, I finished Ghost of Tsushima 100% on April 23rd... then forgot to post it here. Facepalm. Ghost of Tsushima is amazing, one of the ten best games I've ever played. The story, the music, the graphics, the voice acting, the script, the respect for Japanese samurai culture, all of it is excellent. Both Sucker Punch and Guerilla Games reinvented themselves with their most recent games. I can't wait to see what they do next. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has some good builds that will make the most of diagnosing, treatment but also space. He also has some solid tips on how to train staff and manage money. Once you build a building once, you can save it as a template. I always start out with a GP’s office, psychiatry and ward for diagnosing. Ill also build a training room right away and which ever treatment center. Usually a pharmacy and injection room. These make you the most money. If money is tight, you can always rase prices or take out a loan. Just to get started that can help. But it’s also good to take your time and not build out to quickly, as this can cost to much and cause bankruptcy. I hope this helps ? I really like this game, it can be a bit addictive and getting everything done can take a long time. But keep trying and you will get it.
