And my subconscious needs to shut the hell up. Ugh.. Well, Uncharted boosting and working part-time probably won't take up that much time.

They are pretty much in the running for the most conceited people on the planet. The game started as something akin to a 21st century after-school special but the commentary in the second run was repetitive hammer blows the the head. I actually enjoyed listening to most of the developer commentary; I liked the commentary about game design things and speedruns. I must be too conceited myself, huh. You are not actually required to listen to it all, you only have to click on the icon for it to count. Edited June 29, 2019 by SixyLove My post repeated itself two extra times, I deleted the echo.

Popular Post DamagingRob Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2019 Sticking to 5 games, not really to keep my completion high (more games wouldn't make much of a difference, anyways), but to hopefully not earn too many trophies and screw up my 20k milestone. Hollow Knight Mr. Shifty Sonic Mania School Girl/Zombie Hunter Umm... something? Picking a fifth game I want to try is proving pretty difficult. I'm sure some people will be thrilled to see me playing Hollow Knight. Just between you and me, they like to see me suffer. It also wouldn't be a DamagingRob KYC list without some URs, so there's why it and Mr. Shifty show up. I haven't played a Sonic game in a long, long time, so why not? And School Girl/Zombie Hunter is pretty much the "new hotness," I guess. Just bought that from this week's sale. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dmland12 Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2019 I skipped the last one and was on the fence for this one, but I'll go ahead and join again. That will put me at a 50% participation rate again (KYC 3,4,7,8,10). I'm going to give 5 games a try this time instead of the usual 10. There's a few other games already on my list I'd like to work on completing next month as well, so I'm hoping I will be able to switch between doing some progress for them and playing the games for this event. I generally have trouble switching gears like that, so we'll see! It may not work. In any case, I think I picked some games from my backlog that should be long enough and/or difficult enough to last 6 days should my plan fail and I just end up playing these 5 all month. Here's my list: Sunless Sea: Zubmariner Edition Fenix Furia Blackhole Battle Worlds: Kronos The Long Dark LOL, recent players tracked on this site are 1,1,1,2,1 for these games right now. I really know how to pick the popular stuff. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't much of a writer lol I'll post what I've already informed the other newcomers on. That should answer most of your questions.. You're free to play other games on the side throughout the event. However trying to get to the at least 3 hour mark of the game you chose for the event should be a priority. While 3 hours are fairly arbitrary, for most games it should be enough time to get a general idea on how it works and to be able to form an adequate impression on it. You're also free to still switch out games from your list while the event is ongoing. The caveat to this is that the game you want to switch out hasn't been started by you yet. The start time of the event, will be your local time. So whenever it's (in this case) July 1st, in your time zone, you're good to go. some participants may post updates daily, I personally tend to do an intro for the first day and the final impression on the last day of a game. Either way, updates are optional, only the review/impression on the final day of your current game are mandatory. The final roundup at the very end of the event, is also optional. Reviews don't have to be several paragraphs long. Write however much you're comfortable with. Some people can convey their opinion in a more succinct manner, other prefer to elaborate more. You do you. After the event is over, you're free to continue posting updates on your progress, if you want to. A lot of us tend to go back to the games played and finish the story, plat them, or 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you it's gotten a lot of updates on PS4 over the last couple months, as I've had it installed over that time. Could be a bad thing if that means it's buggy, but I looked at some of the updates and it seemed to be some more substantial tweaks and changes. Most of it didn't really mean much to me since I haven't played it yet and don't remember seeing anything about a story overhaul. But, I didn't check all of them or pay attention that closely, so I guess I'll find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then spent 37-38 hours on Volume 2, and 13-14 of those were post game grinding for crap to make sure I got the one missable trophy.

Only finished one, and it was the shortest of the lot. But yeah, that trophy is a pain.. You might not need to collect everything in the first 2 volumes (like I have) to get it, though.

If I had to choose one show to be stuck on an island for eternity with, I think it'd be that. I'm still not really sure what to put for that fifth game. I have had talks about playing a couple of different ones with friends, so it could be one of those. Or maybe even both. Or I might just have to choose something when the time comes. If leaving it blank is not an option, it'll probably be one of these 3: Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, Horizon Chase Turbo, or Realm Royale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoo_eyes Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Game #1 - Game of Thrones - Preview While hte publishers have a fairly good track record (Atlus for US and Focus Home Interactive for PAL), the studio that made the game isn't too well-known (cyanide). Who seem to be mainly known for the Tour de France games, although I've played the Styx series by them (which is good btw). So I'm neither too worried nor to excited about what awaits me with this title. Metacritic doesn't rate this much higher than Saw II (for whatever that's worth), and that one was absolute trash. I still haven't actually finished watching the show, so I guess for now I'll just play the game. Don't know too much about it to be honest. I'm not sure, if the story is cannon or if it's just a quick cash grab. This game is an RPG, as such I'm expecting quests, good storytelling, exploration, skills, a lot of fighting and maybe crafting. Let's see how many of those boxes end up being ticked. I'm also curious to see how polished this is, for a licensed game. Edited July 1, 2019 by voodoo_eyes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
