Popular Post XX_FTW Posted December 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) We’ve been blessed with a bounty of great games over the years and have the promise of more to come. From games made by a team of hundreds to the passion project made in a basement, there are games in every flavor to satisfy any palate. With that in mind, we present: BINGO BONANZA 2020 How It Works Each player will receive a randomly-generated bingo card filled with 25 individual challenges. The goal is to check off 5 boxes in a row and achieve Bingo! To check off a box, the player must complete a game that fulfills the box’s challenge. Notes A game can only be used to fulfill a single challenge. No two birds, one stone here. Game completion, for this purpose, is defined as finishing the story or equivalent. Platinum or 100% is not required to check off a box. The game must have a trackable achievement system, such as psn trophies, xbox or steam achievements. Some categories have more room for interpretation than others. Feel free to make things fit, but please try to keep in the spirit of the challenge. There are 55 individual challenges in the pool the cards are generated from. The 56th is the only universal challenge placed as every center box: Player’s Choice. Frequently Asked Questions Chances are the answer to any questions you have is "I hesitate to give a definitive benchmark as I’d like you guys to have as much freedom in your interpretation as possible while staying true to the spirit of each challenge." If that's not enough for you, see below for some previous asked and answered questions. Spoiler Can I join?Sure. Can I finish games I started before 2020?Yes, games previously started can be used for the challenge assuming you haven't completed the story/story equivalent. Trophy clean-ups aren't eligible, even if it requires an additional playthrough. Do I need to list out my plans at the start? Can I change my mind about what games to play for each challenge? I’m not holding anyone to any particular game for any category, until you report a challenge completed. So if you play Game X and use it to mark off Square N4, that is then set. If you say you’re planning to play Game Y for Square B2 but end up playing Game Z instead, that’s completely fine. Are DLCs eligible?There is a specific challenge for DLC which can be fulfilled with any type of DLC. If you are looking to use DLC to fulfill a challenge outside of that specific one: then yes, assuming the DLC provides significant content. Let’s use discretion as to not override the spirit of the challenge. What does "Platform Exclusive" mean? Released only on one system. For example: Uncharted: Golden Abyss would count but Persona 4 Dancing (which was recently released on PS4) would not. "Last Game You Acquired" can be established as of when you generate your card or when you're ready to attempt the specific challenge. Up to you. What counts as a peripheral?Peripheral can be defined as broadly as your cellphone for Playlink or Karaoke Games, or specifically as Wonderbook or PSVR. I don't subscribe to PS Plus but I have the "Redeemed from PS Plus" challenge square. What do I do? Choose a game that has been offered on PS Plus. Does the colon or (insert mark here) count as punctuation for the "With a # or Punctuation Mark in the Title" challenge? Yes! If it's a punctuation mark, it counts. Even symbols are acceptable. What game should I play for Challenge X? Pitch it to the group and you're sure to get some great suggestions. How do I post an image? Host the image elsewhere (such as imgur) and then post the direct image link into the "Insert Image with URL" button in the reply box. Yes, you need to post an image of your bingo card. Sample Card Spoiler Card Generator Cross your fingers. Pluck a nose hair. Spin your pencil six times. Whatever your superstitious practice is: do it and then follow this link. Click on “Generate Card.” Screenshot your bingo card and post it here. It is encouraged to stick with the first card you generate as one of the goal's of this event is to get you out of your comfort zone and help you find joy in new things (as many of last year's participants can attest). A reroll is allowed, however, if there is a box that is a complete and utter nonstarter. Good luck. Important Dates Bingo Bonanza will run for the Year of 2020. Getting off to a late start this year so anything played since the new year started can be retroactively redeemed assuming it meets all other parameters.

Niamh5445 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 This sounds like a fun event to join I'm in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTominator007 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Ooh, I like this a lot. With most challenges, I lose interest because I like to play games more freeform without feeling like I HAVE to play a certain game at a certain time. It seems more like a chore that way. But with this, I can tailor my games to the options and have more freedom in how to approach it, without feeling pressured to do everything.

eigen-space Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Year-long event, yes? I'll join up! I misread/misinterpreted the event requirements. For 2019, I plan on cleaning up a lot of the games that I've already started. As most of these already have story completion, I don't think this event is going to help me further my goals. Still a neat idea, and best of luck to everyone! Edited December 26, 2018 by eigen-space 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoo_eyes Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Sounds neat, Since the plat race I'm participating in is coming to it's end, I'm up for something different for next year. Guess this will be it . Gives me something to focus on during the months that the KYC event isn't going on . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueStoryGuy Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Sounds like an interesting challenge. Is the four corners also considered Bingo, by chance? Or another prize? O.o 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or another prize? O.o That’s an interesting idea... I didn’t think about patterns or alternate rules... I’m inclined to think it’d be more of a complication than a boon, especially if the player then wanted to continue forward... so for now let’s say “a bingo requires five consecutive boxes that form a straight line (horizontal, diagonal, vertical).” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caju_94 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Dude, I'm going to be honest with you and say that this is a f***** awesome great idea! Wow, plus the fact that we have a whole year and don't have to plat the games gets this more interesting. I'm right in!!! Let's do this!!! Also some questions: Does it include DLCs? Like can I consider a bingo box an episode DLC only? For example: Horizon Zero Dawn - Frozen Wilds, Final Fantasy XV Episodes... Can I finish games I started before 2019? (There is a specific category for that, but dunno about the others) Edited December 21, 2018 by Caju_94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinateEternity Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Oh, this sounds like fun! Go ahead and sign me up, please! Quick question though ... do you have an idea of when everyone will be receiving their Bingo Cards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
