Bingo Bonanza 2020


Recommended Posts

PSNP-Bingo.gif

 

Haven't posted a update since February - I actually forgot about this event for large portions of the year, but I was just about able to get one line completed, although I left it very late. Did a playthrough of The House of the Dead 4 last night with a PSMove controller to knock out square N4 and complete the middle column at 22:41 on New Year's Eve. Marked 12 squares in total:

 

[I1] Based On a Non-Gaming IP: Batman: Arkham City

[N1] That You Can Beat In One Sitting: Entwined

[G1] Starts With The First Letter In Your PSNID: Metrico

[N2] That Takes "Forever" To Beat: Borderlands

[O2] Featuring a Romance or Romance Options: Dead Space 3

[I3] With a Female Protagonist: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

[N3] Player's Choice: Borderlands 2

[O3] With Player Choices or Multiple Endings: Forma.8

[I4] Arcade, Rhythm, or Puzzle: The Witness

[N4] Peripheral-Based: The House of the Dead 4

[N5] Cult Favourite: Super Meat Boy

[G5] Developed in a Foreign Country: Typoman: Revised

 

Thank you very much for running this, @XX_FTW. If you are planning to run this event again, I have some ideas for new categories:

 

- With less than 1,000 owners on PSNProfiles

- Has a character with the same first name as yourself

- Set in more than one country

- Features time travel

Please no on the same first name as yourself.  My name is actually incredibly uncommon in works of fiction in general, which is kind of weird since it's a reasonably common name.  Also many people don't feel comfortable revealing any part of their real name to strangers online.  I do like the less than 1,000 owners one though, encourage some love to the less popular games!

If you guys are up for a 2020 event, we can definitely make it happen. We could add more prompts if you have ideas to widen the pool. I’m preparing the wrap up for this event.

 

Well, here are some ideas and suggestions for the 2020 edition:

 

  • Even though you only need to complete the campaign/story to cross out the a box, challengers may attempt a smaller (or a bigger) bingo card, depending on their avaibility and time to play. For example, one with 15 games and another one with 30/35, for example?
  • A Joker category or swapping of some sorts. For example, if you have the category "Redeemed from PS Plus", and you don't have PS Plus, instead of swapping the whole card, you could swap for a Joker category, so you could choose another category where your backlog could fit. You could do up to X swaps if you don't have games for that category.
  • New categories:
    • Game without Platinum trophy
    • Features weapons
    • Genre that you don't really play
    • Never heard of (or with less than X game owners)
    • With New Game+
    • With retro graphics/music
    • Protagonist is not human
    • With customizable outfits
    • With vehicles you can drive
    • ...

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. Many of them are actually already covered in the current 50 topics. I’ve been working on getting this ready to go. Anything you play in the meantime can count toward the upcoming event, which will launch on Monday, Jan. 13 when the new cards go live. Feel free to continue to offer suggestions in the meantime.

Swamped with work right now.

THE NEW CARDS ARE AVAILABLE!

 

The challenge pool has been increased from 50 unique prompts to 55. I found it a bit difficult to find prompts not already covered. For returning players, hopefully you are blessed with a card filled with the 30 topics you didn't have last year.

 

I haven't had the time to go through the thread and make a final update for the 2019 season, and I will when I can, but you guys know who you are and I am extremely thankful for your continued participation throughout 2019, even when I wasn't as active as I hoped to be. You all get gold stars. Whether you completed your entire card (or 2!), a single bingo, or managed to fill every square you could without hitting bingo (ahem, me) then you helped make this challenge great.

 

Now I didn't want to hold anyone up by waiting until I had time to update 2019. So here you go.

 

May the bingo odds be ever in your favor.

Question:

 

since 2020 has already started do any games we’ve already platinumed in the last 13 days proactively count, or is it just from today forward?

Anything done this year counts! It wouldn't be fair to hold you guys back just because my schedule is hectic.

So... I'll admit to rerolling it once because it was one tile with a different category from last year. Some impressive luck, there.

 

Got some tricky ones, not sure I'll be able to fill it out. Some good categories, though - should be fun knocking them out. I do believe the three games I've finished/started so far tick off none of these. Boo.

 

Recommended by a PSNP member, please?

Text list + thoughts

Spoiler
  • Redeemed From PS Plus
    Should be easy enough, I've got quite a pile of these that haven't been finished.
  • Recommended By A PSNP Member
  • ***Starts With The First Letter Of Your PSNID (S)
    Spyro 3 is likely, though something else may come up.
  • That "Everyone" But You Has Played
    Drawing a blank for the moment. I never got around to Red Dead Redemption's single-player. Awesome.
  • ***DLC Pack or Standalone DLC
    Planned to go for 100% in Spider-Man and Assassin's Creed Origins this year.

 

  • ***Award-Winning
    No idea, I'll have to hunt up a list again.
  • ***That Takes "Forever" To Beat
  • ***That You Started But Didn't Finish
    I wish I didn't have so many to pick from.
  • ***Last Game You Acquired
    Last few purchases were trophy/achievement-less, so this will probably be the next pickup.
  • Peripheral-Based
    Well, I have a few - let's see if I can actually finish one.

 

  • One Word Title
    Fe or Firewatch, maybe.
  • Originally Released in 2020
    Likely to come down to something from PS+ or Gamepass.
  • Player's Choice
  • Historical Fiction or Mythology
    An Assassin's Creed, perhaps?
  • With Gorgeous Vistas

 

  • **You Think You Will Dislike
    Was a tough one last year - I was spot on and abandoned my first attempt at it.
  • Aliens or Robots
    Don't play a ton of fitting games. Maybe R&C: Into the Nexus?
  • **With Online Features
  • Metroidvania or Roguelike
    Might be a good excuse to replay Rogue Legacy, or try out the first Guacamelee.
  • For Another PSNP Event

 

  • Racing or Sports
    Not games I tend to play, but I think I have SSX and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed started...
  • **With a Female Protagonist
    Possibly Shantae: Risky's Revenge.
  • Spawned an Expanded Universe
    Oof, I don't know. Sonic?
  • **Adventure
  • Underplayed (<1000 owners)
    This one seems most likely to be my roadblock. No idea if I have anything that qualifies, but I'll check some of my more obscure stuff.

I'm in again! I did reroll twice cuz it keeps giving me the peripheral based one, and I honestly refuse to buy a peripheral for an event like this. Here's what I've got though:

I've got one plat for the new year already that fits a couple of these categories. Trying to figure out which section works best for it :D

Right now, I am about to complete the story of Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkuni for the "Developed In a Foreign Country", which is almost a "Player's Choice" for me, since I am from Portugal, everything is made in a foreign country, haha.

Shame that the site now requires you to disable your ad blocker ...  Will think about going later to make a card.

 

Looks like you have a fun card this year.  You can now get good and beat CotND for rhythm :P

I have some recommendations for you @Caju_94:

 

- Deus Ex Mankind Divided. A good stealth game and even if you don't know the predecessor it's ok to start (the intro explains a lot). (I'd rather recommend Deus Ex Human Revolution rather than Mankind Divided instead ?)

- Need for Speed. I think it has a cool story for a racing game. Most races are rather easy and they don't want money for the dlc events. Sadly the Prestige League (dlc related) is insanely hard in comparison to the main game.

- Transistor. An action game that looks cool and i want to play it myself but never found time for it so far. Not even although i tried last year for the Bingo Event :( Maybe you can do it :)
