Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted July 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Hey PSNP, @MidnightDragon finished the interview much faster than expected. Have fun reading it. Stock Questions How did you come up with your PSN name? I'm a night owl and like dragons. DX was just to add something that wasn't a number since MidnightDragon was taken. Thought of doing ShadowDragonDX, but thought MidnightDragonDX sounded better. What game(s) convinced you get your PlayStation 3, Playstation Vita, and/or PlayStation 4? The exclusives on PS3 and PS4 were more attractive to me than what was offered by Microsoft. Can't remember specifics, though. What are your top 5 game series and why? Dragon Age - I've played the first two games on past systems. I still need to do the third, which I will eventually. Origins is one of my favorite games of all time. I know Dragon Age II gets a lot of hate, but it wasn't really that bad. I fear for Dragon Age 4, though, since EA seems determined to destroy anything single player and most of the writers and such aren't at BioWare anymore. Dragon Quest - I've liked how it's largely maintained its old school feel. Since Square Enix ignored their fans in the west for years, I hope each installment it gets does well (whether main series or spinoff) so it keeps getting released. I've played most of the main series, but the original trilogy has a special place in my heart. I haven't played XI yet, but I will soon. I was going to make it my 50th , but I'm not 100% sure. Kirby - Love that cute little pink puff that kicks serious ass. Yeah, his games are pretty simple, but fun. The Elder Scrolls - I started the series with Morrowind. I have never played Arena and Daggerfall. I enjoyed Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I've sank hundreds of hours into all three. So hopefully Elder Scrolls VI will be good whenever it comes. What are your top 5 games and why? Chrono Trigger - One of the greatest games of all time. The orchestra, the story, the characters...all are incredible. The original translation had more charm to it, but the more accurate translation from the DS version onward is also very good. I'll never forget the first time I heard Lavos's theme. I still mute it when I know it's coming and it's been over 20 years since I first played it. Dragon Age: Origins - This was my first BioWare title and it left an impression on me. Yeah, it doesn't look the best, but the story and characters are amazing. It starts a bit slow and the combat takes some getting used to, but Dragon Quest III - The original trilogy has a special spot in my heart and this one was the best of the lot. IX is like an updated version Kirby Super Star Ultra - This is basically a bunch of smaller Kirby games rolled into one. The DS version improved on the original in many ways, including adding several new games and a harder version of the Arena (basically a boss rush mode) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - This game is, in my mind, the darkest Zelda title in the series. It's one of my favorite titles in the entire series. Which unreleased game(s) are you looking forward to the most and why? Cyberpunk 2077 - Looks really cool. I'm getting more and more interested the more I see. While Keanu isn't influencing me, it kinda helps. Dragon Quest XI S - More Dragon Quest love in the west is always a good thing. Also, there's going to be additional content. Link's Awakening (Switch) - I loved the original Link's Awakening and love the remake. It also includes my favorite part of the game. Was worried they might take it out, but they didn't. This video contains spoilers since I know some still haven't played Link's Awakening ever. Spoiler Monster Hunter World: Iceborne - I know it's an expansion, but they said game sized, so I think it counts. Just looks SO good! Do you have any other hobbies outside of gaming? Reading, watching cooking shows, and just driving around in my car. Top 5 TV shows, movies, and/or anime, why, and would you recommend them to people? I don't really watch movies and don't watch anime. I don't watch much TV beyond Food Network, The Amazing Race, NFL, and NASCAR. I also watch a lot of Twitch, but no specific streamers. Just depends on my mood. Top 5 favorite music bands/group/artists/composers/ost? Since I don't really listen to music outside of games and I have so many game soundtracks I enjoy, I've picked five tracks from five different games at random. Chrono Trigger Dragon Quest Kirby's Epic Yarn Skyrim Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Your favorite platinum and why? Red Dead Redemption. It had an incredible story and the multiplayer wasn't too shabby, either. I don't normally like westerns, but glad I took a chance on this one. Even if you don't want to mess with the multiplayer, the single player is well worth the price of admission. Your least favorite platinum and why? Little Adventure on the Prairie. That was pure whoring on my part. The only good thing is it goes farther down my list the more games I play. Have you ever been tempted to switch over to the Xbox/Nintendo/PC gaming ecosystems? I got started gaming on the NES and have owned every Nintendo console besides the Virtual Boy (though I don't count that) at some point or other. I am getting a Switch sometime this fall, but PS4 will still be my main console. Not likely XBox will release anything that will make me go back. If you could have one game from any gaming generation be remade or re-released, which one would it be and why? Skies of Arcadia. It was a RPG released on Dreamcast and GameCube and was really fun. Pretty underrated. I still hold out some hope it may happen one day. Hey, if Shenmue III can be released, anything's possible. How far are you willing to go for a platinum? Not willing to torture myself over it. A few of my games will remain incomplete because of that. What feature (besides backwards compatibility) do you think the next console generation should have? Don't get rid of physical releases! What is your favorite thing about PSNP? An awesome community and the ability to track my trophies. What is your least favorite thing about PSNP? Sometimes a bit too much drama for my liking. Is there anyone in the PSNP Community you would like to give a shout out to and if so why? Yeah. @Zach @kels_77 @DamagingRob @B1rvine @Lady_Galleth @Squirlruler @Sir_Bee @Conker You all are awesome! Community Questions If you had only one video game you could play from now on, what would you choose and why? Something open world with almost endless things to do. If I had to do the same stuff over and over and over, I'd get bored. Preferably a RPG of some sort. Why are MidnightDragons so much cooler than Dragon-Archons? We live for the night! What are your plans for your 50th platinum trophy? Was thinking Dragon Quest XI, but not 100% sure yet. Favorite Warhammer 40K army? Never played it. Wats yer favorite sammich? BOT (BLT with onion instead of lettuce) As you’ve been gaming for a while, what are some trends in gaming you wish never came to be? Microtransactions! Also, forced in multiplayer. When I go for trophies, I usually play the online first if I can. Any advice you’ve been given when you were younger that didn’t make sense until you were much older and you wish you had understood much sooner? Don't sweat the small stuff. What is the best dragon from a video game? Paarthurnax from Skyrim. C'mon, he's voiced by the same guy that does Mario and helps you when all the other dragons want you dead! If you could create your own game, what genre would it be? Probably a western style RPG or a retro platformer. What does this community mean to you? It has its ups and down,but met some great people here. How would you describe your trophy hunting style? I try going for 100%, but don't try to kill myself over it. Since you're also an older gamer who has been gaming a long time like me, how do you feel about the shifts in gaming from the time of the NES to now? Definitely good and bad things. I prefer when games were complete and companies didn't try to nickle and dime us to death. Any funny stories about your dog or cat trying to "help" you play games? My cat often blocks my TV. In video game series, which do you prefer: a sequel or a prequel? - Depends on the game a sequel or a spin off? - See above a story ark over a set number of games or standalone stories for each game? - See above What made you want to switch from the world of Xbox achievements to PSN trophies? There were more exclusives on PlayStation that appealed to me and since XBox and PlayStation share almost all their libraries... You mention you like Western RPGs. What are your favourites? Dragon Age Origins, Skyrim, and Oblivion. What’s your easiest plat and your toughest plat? Easiest was Batman and Batman: The Enemy Within. Even that crap Little Adventure on the Prairie required (minimal) effort. Do you prefer your dog, cat, or neither over the other? Neither You mentioned you like Western RPGs, why haven't you tried Skyrim or the Witcher 3 perhaps? Who says I haven't? Played hundreds of hours of Skyrim on PC and XBox 360. The Witcher 3 is in my backlog. What part of Missouri are you from? Kansas City Do you prefer the humidity, tornadoes, floods, hail, or snow that Missouri brings? Uh, no. Cardinals/Blues or Chiefs/Royals? Chiefs/Royals Favorite Missouri food? Kansas City barbecue Which console is your favorite? All time: SNES PlayStation: PS2 What are your favorite games from each of Sony's most recent systems: Favorite game from the PS3? - Red Dead Redemption Favorite game from the PS4? - There's a lot. Can't choose one. What got you to switch from Achievements to Trophies? I changed from XBox to PlayStation. Which NES game would you love to have available with a trophy list on the PS4 that doesn't exist already? Sid Meier's Pirates! Though I would rather have Pirates Gold for Genesis. Favourite pizza topping? Meat lover Have you ever encountered any memorable bugs or glitches in a game? One time, I was playing Oblivion and I left a dungeon. I step outside and my horse is floating in midair making the swimming motion. If you have a big backlog, how do you decide on what to play next? I DO have one. Sometimes I make a list, but usually I just play whatever sounds good. What Hogwarts house do you think you’d be sorted into? Hufflepuff What was your favourite mission in Hitman: Absolution? The final missions for sure. They were annoying to complete at times, but the final outcome was so satisfying. Seeing as how almost all of us require the internet in order to play online on the PS4, here is my question: how do you pass the time should a power outage occur, and cannot be able to play any games for several hours? I have other things to do If you have travelled to another country by flying, what was the longest flight you have been on? I hate flying. I did drive to Canada once, though. Do you have a favorite book/movie/anime that you would like to see made into a game? No since games based on movies/TV usually suck. What's your first name? Midnight. What is your favorite online game to play? I don't really play online unless I have to. Which game have you played the most in your lifetime? A list of each system you've played would be nice. Some of them are just best guesses. NES - Super Mario Bros. 3 and Dragon Quest III SNES - Harvest Moon, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG Genesis - Sonic 3 and Knuckles N64 - Harvest Moon 64 GameCube - Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros. Melee Wii - Kirby's Epic Yarn Wii U - New Super Mario Bros. U GB/GBC/GBA - Dragon Quest III DS - Kirby Super Star Ultra 3DS - Kirby Triple Deluxe PS1 - Harvest Moon: Back to Nature PS2 - Dragon Quest VIII PS3 - Red Dead Redemption PS4 - Marvel's Spider-Man XBox 360 - Oblvion and Skyrim Do you have any regrets about something you did? If so, what would you do if you could go back and change it? Doesn't everyone? Rather not discuss them, though. Do you like tv cooking shows? Yes, more competitive ones, though. Do you like to cook? Not very good at it except for some simple stuff. What's the hardest recipe you tried to make? Fried rice What's your favorite Dragon Quest game of all time? Probably III. What do you think of street racers? Fucking idiots will kill someone! And they scare my dog! What do you do at midday? Sometimes that's when I wake up. Usually watching TV and catching up on what happened while I was sleeping. How did you first found PSNP? Seeing trophy cards on other sites. What motivated you to engage in the forums? Because they're there. How did you come up with your profile picture? I wanted a picture of a gaming dragon. Where did you find the picture? Google How long have you been using the avatar? I can't remember exactly. Do you also use this avatar outside of PSNP? Yeah, I use it on Discord, too. If you had to guess, how many hours a day do you spend on PSNP? Depends. Not much lately. What motivated you to become a premium member? I wanted to support the site and be able to update at will. Why don't you have an "About Me" section on your profile? I'm not the most interesting person in the world. What motivated you to do an interview about yourself? I added my name to the list. Do you know Sly personally? Nope Do you prefer posts, status updates, or PMs and why? All of the above because I can. Would you ever write a trophy guide? Maybe How is the search for a job, have you found one? No, but doing deliveries for DoorDash in the meantime. If you went to college/uni, what did you study and do you still apply that knowledge today? Health information management...not really, but I understand medical conversations a bit better than I did before. How do you deal with a trophy hunting burnout? Take a break from playing for a bit. I drove myself too hard a lot of last year and ended up barely playing for five months. Didn't even earn anything in January. I'm going slower now and it seems to be working pretty well. Are you a cat or a dog person? I have both, so neutral. Do you play a musical instrument? Do instruments of torture count? No, I don't. What is your favourite food? Fried rice, ribeye steak, and chocolate chip ice cream. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And that's it for the interview folks.

Beyondthegrave07 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 "Do instruments of torture count?" ? I love the reference! Nice interview. I'd like to hear what your favorite Switch game is too when you finally get one! I also think Crono Trigger is a great game too. I played the DS version, but I never finished it! I don't remember what it was, but I got kinda lost after you go back to the prehistoric era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT__Jedi Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) @MidnightDragon Great to meet you! Nice questions asked by the community and some pretty cool answers! ? Plus, it is nice to meet another Elder Scrolls player (still a few of us out there)! Edited July 28, 2019 by Commander Waffles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamagingRob Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Thanks for the shout out. Couldn't really think of anything I wanted to ask, possibly because of how much we've chatted on PSN. Probably know everything I'd want to know already. Pretty sure no one messages me more over there, not that I mind. Just saying, for example, this month I've had a grand total of four people send messages. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
