[XX_FTW]

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.

I'm def down for this event again next year. It encouraged me to play some smaller games I may not have played

Sounds good to me. Do you have a list of all the prompts available? Widening the pool or adding something new to freshen things up is never a bad idea imo.

 

I'd already say "a game released in 2020" is a good start.

I'd be okay with a new event, but I also think it would be nice if there was an option to opt out of some prompts.  Not a huge amount, maybe 3-5 at most to allow people to opt out from items being included on their board that are definitive nos while still allowing others to pick those. 

[MarkusT1992]

I would join another year as well.

I hope to get my last update done tomorrow but I think I'm missing some squares.

[Deadsh0tdoubleG]

Happy Holidays, everyone! Between dealing with personal stuff and playing the games etc in my limited free time, I couldn't find the time to provide an update on my card in a VERY long time.

 

Without further ado, here is my final Bingo Card:

 

Spoiler

 

And here are the completed boxes:

 

Spoiler

(N1) Cooperative Game Child of Light  Coronation (100% ✅)

(O1) Starts With The First Letter In Your PSNID Detroit: Become Human  THIS IS MY STORY /  DETROIT MASTER

 

(B2) With Mystery or Detective Themes Yakuza Kiwami  Thank You! /  KIWAMI

(I2) Originally Released in 2019 Devil May Cry 5  Let's Rock!

(N2) With Online Features Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered  Win the War /  Just another day at the office

(G2) That Takes "Forever" To Beat Read Dead Redemption 2  Endless Summer /  Legend of the West

(O2) You Think You Will Dislike Stikbold!  Prodigies /  Platinum Legacy

 

(B3) Adventure God of War  *REDACTED SPOILER* /  Father and Son

(I3) With Minigames In It Yakuza 0  Awakened and Unleashed /  Where It All Began

(N3) Player's Choice FIFA 19  No. 1 Fan

(G3) Released the Year You Joined PSNP (2017) Uncharted: The Lost Legacy  Legacy Found! /  Don't Ruin The Moment

(O3) DLC Pack or Standalone DLC Marvel's Spider-Man  The City Sleeps (CTNS from Marvel's Spider-man)

 

(B4) Reboot or Spiritual Successor Mirror's Edge Catalyst  Blood is thicker than everything /  The Few. The Elite.

(N4) That "Everyone" But You Has Played The Last of Us Remastered  No Matter What - Normal

(O4) With Gorgeous Vistas inFAMOUS Second Son  Reconciliation /  Enjoy Your Powers

 

(B5) Racing or Sports The Crew 2  That's a Wrap! /  You're THE Driver, baby

(G5) Sci-Fi or Fantasy Themes Transistor  Bye() /  Plat()

(O5) That You Can Beat In One Sitting Neon Chrome  Overseer (100% ✅)

 

So, I completed four bingos (second and third row, N1-5, O1-5), which I admit was better than expected. Looking at my original card and intended games for each box, I didn't deviate much (except for 1-2 switches and not starting The Phantom Pain or Hollow Knight).

 

Aaaaand there you have it! Gaming-wise it has been a good year, overall. Events like these always motivate me to start games that I didn't plan to (like Yakuza 0-1), ending up absolutely loving them or complete unfinished ones. Congratulations to everyone that participated. Moreover, I would like to thank you, @XX_FTW, for hosting this community event. I would love to see it returning next year.

 

I hope everyone has a great 2020!

Finally after many years I beat htoL#NiQ - The Firefly Diary.  That final boss seriously sucked.  Also realized that I1 and 2 somehow got deleted from my list, so I added them back in.  With oldest in backlog finally wiped out, that gives me a full blackout bingo at last.

[ElBolovo]

With only 20 hours to spare in the year in my time zone and after two early ours in a row to get my last two slots done, I finally got my blackout bingo.

[diskdocx]

I'm definitely on board for another event. I just need to start earlier next year.

 

I did pour back through my games from earlier in the year to see if I could complete a few more squares - I've added games that should cover B2, B3, I2 and N3

 

B1: Steins;Gate

B2: Spyro the Dragon

B3: Criminal Girls

B5: Delta Squad (Twin Stick Shooter)

So that's black out save for Historical Fiction/Mythology. I'm not really sure what would fit this. Don't see anything obvious in my list. I might try to blast through The Mooseman this afternoon, as that seems to be all based in mythology.

Solid idea but I think it’s a bit difficult to achieve logistically. Allowing a reroll of the card might help with this.

 

Yes, I have the list somewhere... I can pull it. I can work on this tomorrow since I’m off. I’ll do a larger wrap on this year and set up the framework for ‘20. “Released this year” definitely helps that category.

I'd be okay with rerolling.  I just don't want to be stuck with a card that has very definitive nos for me and the biggest ones are MP and peripherals.  Everything else that was a bit tricky I was able to come up with some way to make it work at least, but those two things would be a bit tricky to work around.

[MarkusT1992]

My final update for this year includes four more games to bring me up to a total of 23. I finished all I could except for one. I could have put One Piece World Seeker there but than I would miss the square I put it in so there's no difference in where to put it.

Also I counted Rufus from Deponia as an antihero. He's not actually what you call a hero but at least he tries.

With that I have a total of 7 Bingos.

I'm jumping the gun a bit since my last game isn't 100% yet, but I've finished the 'story' and I'm not going to bed tonight until it's done so I feel safe doing this. I'm a little disappointed I couldn't make them all platinums...but such is life. Anyways, I'm happy to say that I was able to complete my entire Bingo Card...just under the wire.

 

 

I really enjoyed this event and would definitely do it again  thanks for hosting!

Edited January 1, 2020 by Warpedsavior

[Kevvik]

 

 

Okay, so I finished out my card but never got around to posting it.  Here is the final tally with all results, placed in a spoiler box to save room.

 

Spoiler

B1 - With a Female Protagonist - Forgotton Anne  - thought about using this for Anthropomorphized Animals except that animals are the only thing not anthropomorphized in this game.  Lamps, guns, mannequins, shoes, you name it but no animals so I gave it a pass on that and used the simpler one to justify. Really liked this game.

 

B2 - Oldest in your Backlog -  LittleBigPlanet  - the first game that I got a trophy for, I finally completed the platinum though I still have 1 DLC pack to finish

 

B3 - DLC Pack or Standalone DLC - Rocket League DLC Trophy Pack 4 - wanted to finish one of these for the 10 Things I Hate event so I knocked this one off

 

B4 - Anthropomorphized Animals - Cat Quest  - this action/RPG features, as its hero, a cat.  In fact, all the characters in this world are cats who walk, talk and otherwise act like typical RPG characters

 

B5 - Redeemed from PS Plus - Master Reboot  - redeemed from PS+ Oct 2018 - again, could have gone into multiple blocks but I decided on this one

 

I1 - Cult Favorite - Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age  - in North America, I've found the Dragon Quest series to be a truly cult classic series.  It's never gotten the attention that Final Fantasy receives, even the Tales series seems to get more attention.  I think the Dragon Quest series is the superior series but as I'm probably in the minority, that just, to me, justifies its cult status.

 

I2 - With a # or Punctuation Mark in the Title - htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary  - just look at that colon, sticking out like it owns the place and totally distracting from the hashtag

 

I3 - Sci-Fi or Fantasy Themes - Monster Monpiece  - fantasy takes on two meanings in this game where girls fight battles with monsters on cards - of course, the monsters are girls who get scantily clad as you level up the cards for some truly juvenile fan service

 

I4 - With Mystery of Detective Themes - The Invisible Hours  - a neat little murder mystery game where you can follow a detective around or the suspects depending how you use your time - more interactive theater than a game but I really liked it

 

I5 - Released the Year You Joined PSNP - Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut - fun little puzzle game with came onto PSNP about a week and a half before I did in 2015 (July 21 to my August 7)

 

N1 - Hype! - What Remains of Edith Finch - hype means different things to different people.  This hype was due to all the awards it was winning (including beating Overwatch a few times) and was an extremely enjoyable gaming experience

 

N2 - That You Can Beat in One Sitting - Burly Men At Sea  - my records say it took me 6 hrs to beat it but only because I had to go to work - don't think there was 2 hrs of game time and it could have been beat in one sitting easily if I had started it at a different time of day

 

N3 - Player's Choice - Old Man's Journey  - an interesting little puzzle title with more effective story telling in a few cut scenes than many AAA titles carry in the whole game.  I gladly choose this one for my elective.

 

N4 - Ultra Rare Platinum - Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Daybreak: Special Gigs  - half the trophies for this game are UR including a plat at (with my completion) just over 1%

 

N5 - That You've Been Meaning To Get To - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim  - I've had this on my shelf for years and never got around to starting it, despite going through Oblivion several times - finally done the main story but still have some DLC to play through - absolutely loved it, bugs and all (though I really didn't encounter many)

 

G1 - Retro Release (Originally on a Console w/o Trophies) - Adventures of Mana  - originally released on the Game Boy as Final Fantasy Adventure, this 3D rerelease was a fun throwback to old RPGs

 

G2 - With Player Choices or Multiple Endings - The Bard's Tale  - I thought about making this my retro title but figured I'd knock this one out of the way.  Not a lot of path choices until the end with at least two endings based on what you decide in the final tower (I didn't try the third where you choose to ignore both sides and head to the bar) 

 

G3 - Featuring Romance or Romance Options - Gone Home - while it might seem a stretch, the voice logs for the documents build a great story about a young woman discovering her sexuality and an unexpected relationship - could have finished this in one sitting (and practically did) also but was worth listening to the story for a really well constructed tale that could easily be missed by rushing.  I actually collected them all again after completing the game 100% to listen to them in order and absorb the whole story that way. Really worth the time to enjoy.

 

G4 - With Minigames In It - Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time  - thought about this for a few blocks and since I generally can't stand Minigames, I'll use it here with its in-game old school arcade game "My Blaster Runs Hot" - thought about Oldest in my Backlog but I'll try to finish the story on LBP to get that

 

G5 - Originally Released in 2019 - Glass Masquerade  - a fun but very short puzzle game

 

O1 - Cooperative Game - LEGO The Incredibles  - sure you can play it solo but it's way more fun doing it on couch co-op with your kids

 

O2 - In a Series New to You - Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland  - this may be the first game I've played in this long running series but it won't be the last

 

O3 - With Online Features - Hidden Agenda  - the playlink feature is kind of neat and doing the competitive run through with my son was fun - no controller use, you use your phone/tablet on your home network to interact with the game and choose your path through multiple endings

 

O4 - Based on a Non-Gaming IP - Sword Art Online: Lost Song  - this series of games is based on a series of Japanese light novels and the subsequent anime

 

O5 - Last Game you Acquired - Wheels of Aurelia  - picked this up on 30 Dec 18 for a couple bucks and held off grabbing the PS+ games for January until I knocked it off

 

 

Great event overall!  Congratulations to everyone who finished their cards and to those who just enjoyed new games because of strange topics.  Thanks to our host @XX_FTW for a fun time which is what an event should be all about.

Well, just a single bingo for me in the end. Along with overestimating the potential free time I'd have had for gaming last year, I've danced all over the entire card, filling spaces as is instead of focusing on a line at a time, so all of it's on me. Still, was fun, and that's what really matters in the end.

 

Final update:

 

B1: With Online Features - Grand Kingdom

N3: Player's Choice - Spyro the Dragon

Hey, I don't know if it's too late for me to do so, but I forgot to update one of the squares that I earned:

 

O5 - For Another PSNP Event - My Hero Academia One's Justice

 

 

 

 

Only end up with one bingo line, but even so I had fun. I will probably use up the games that I didn't get to complete for the next bingo line-up depending on how lucky I get in the next bingo line-up.

Happy New Year, everybody! ?

Well, I gladly say I managed to finish my 2nd full blackout bingo. Only finished Thief on the 31st December, but I did it. Now I only have to platinum or 100% some of the games I used in this event.

Count me in for a Bingo bonanza 2020!
