I would definitely do at least two playthroughs before I would go for the no death trophies and the no hit trophies. You can always back up your save to the cloud, so the trophy for beating the game without dying won't be so bad.

 

I'm a bit surprised you played this in the first place. I don't expect you to be a guy who plays 8 - bit/16 - bit era inspired titles.

Oh I play it because it's metal  8 bit or 16 bit does not bother me as long as the game is good. And Slain is VERY good.

I mean...I do have 16 bit inspired games : Death Gambit and Broforce. The only games that I wouldn't touch would be jRPG and sport sims (and maybe space simulators but those are pretty rare)

I got a bunch on my profile if you're interested in more of them.

 

Slain is definitely a game that is generally overlooked, which kind of sucks because most people want flashy graphics and gorgeous visuals. If you truly want me to rate your game high, it has to have good gameplay first and foremost.

 

Valfaris I'm looking to get in the future. Pretty broke as of right now, so won't be able to grab it for the time being.

14. Braid : oh fuck this game's speedrun requirement. It's bullshit. I need a day when I am complete zen for this one.

 

18. Catherine : I am scared of this game...many people say it's uber hard. Will have to discover that for myself. I loved the concept though!

Oh man, that Braid speed run trophy still sits on my account uncompleted, I know the kind of pain that'll be. Catherine is an...interesting game that I didn't get very far through, but I do want to go back and give it a chance again. I just wasn't good at that type of puzzle platforming back in the day, who knows now...

When i saw Braid I was "alright cool ,game that I completed on PC, a speedrun trophy how hard can it be".

40 FUCKING MINUTES WTF?

Yeah....it's a piece of shit trophy, especially when you have to pass the claws from world 3 where you synchronize the goombas. Ugh...

Pretty sure I can do it. I mean I did LIMBO three times and that's basically a 50 - 55 minute playthrough where you can't die more than five times.

Oh yes @Spaz, this would be a breeze for you It is also easier than Limbo. But you know... Platformer + time control. True videogame archnemesis of mine... 

I imagine if I played Super Meat Boy I would go insane.

Super Meat Boy is only for the truly determined. You need to do stuff in a split second's notice.

 

Honestly I probably could do the Street Fighter IV trials if I had a mind to practice in fighting games over the long term. I noticed a number of players who are really good at Street Fighter simply grew up on fighting games. Even guys well in their 40s who don't have the speed and reflexes like they used to can probably do the trials since I'm sure a number of them probably played Street Fighter II way back in the day at the arcades. I was too little back then, so I basically missed out on the arcade glory days.

 

But you don't need to grow up on fighting games or platformers to be really good at them. With a good fight stick I could probably do the Street Fighter IV trials give or take a few hundred hours, likely around 300 - 400 hours. Currently I'm not all that good at fighting games, which is why I went with Tekken. People may say you're taking the easy way out, but as long as you enjoy the games, then that's all that matters.

 

Thing with me is I enjoyed Super Meat Boy, even if I got very angry and frustrated and was about to throw in the towel. It's definitely fun if you enjoy fluid platformers, it has some of the best responsive controls I've felt in any platformer.

 

A shame Braid is stuck on the PS3. I'm not really interested in old PSN games with an exception of a couple of them. Seems like everyone gets all the trophies but the speedrun, then most just give up on the 100 percent.

Yup I saw Super Meat Boy and man you need TIGHT reactions there. Given that I am still shaken by that stupid Stormy Ascent...nah I ain't reaching that level of skill. Mad respect for you doing that craziness.

Braid...I wouldn't recommend it. Sure it was a nice piece of nostalgia, but the game itself ain't so good by today's standards. Yeah most people avoid the speedrun because it's just so annoying. There's some puzzles that involve abit of RNG and RNG in a platformer is...eh.

See that's the part that I believe is THE MOST IMPORTANT in fighting games, moreso than other games : Enjoying it. Sure, there's a ton of elitists and gatekeepers in fighting game community and that's the biggest downside of it (I mean...if you carefully check that "How hard it is to reach Golden Rank" thread under SF5 you can easily spot them, no pointing fingers though ) but the rule of thumb is : if you like it and wish to invest time in it, go for it. If you like Tekken, it's the PERFECT game to start with. Anything goes.

However if you don't enjoy it, everything becomes a huge ordeal. I realized I will never attempt UMvC 3 because I just can't stand tagging system in videogames. I am a dedicated single character fighting game player, tagging is too much for me (god knows I fucking hated it in DBFZ)

 

And the age does not matter at all if you have the passion(I mean, when you have the time, google BrolyLegs street fighter and you will see why age does not matter at all). I never ever touched an arcade, first time I played Street Fighter was on a keyboard with 3 missing keys. If you like the game you can do it.

Sure, guys like Alex Valle (has 42 years, is the godfather of fighting games) can pull these trials eyes closed while playing a harmonica cause he grew up in arcades. But us casual mortals can pull it too  I am a massive SF casual, precise inputs aren't really my comfort zone. If I have the dedication, plus people to talk about these trials, hell if it's not one of the most fun platinums I ever attempted.

Braid isn’t even that old. Some of the games on my list date all the way back to the early 1980s, Pac Man among them.

 

PSN games were and are always niche. Dead Space is the same age as Braid and the reason people still talk about that game 12 years later is because it was mainstream and it set the standard for horror themed games set in space. 
 

Braid on the other hand got its popularity in the late 2000s, but after that it became forgotten rather quickly. I basically rediscovered the game when I was playing a few indie games because the main character makes a cameo appearance. 
 

It’s like Super Stardust HD. Quite popular, but now barely anyone plays it.

Lol right, Braid was made in 2008. Damn that really messed up my time perception. Thought it's kinda older. 

And yea... When I say old games I mean 1998-2000 games, that's old for me Pacman is Ancient Egypt levels of ancient. 

 

I think the oldest game I ever played was Dizzy on a ZX Spectrum, with casettes? Idk, that cute egg that was jumping around. That's kinda the absolute oldest game I ever played. 

[Arcesius]

@Copanele @Spaz I'm just going to chime in to say a few things, but didn't wanna quote specific parts of your discussion

 

First of all, Braid.. It is still an old game. Only because there are older games doesn't make this game "not old"... I haven't played it though. What I did play by the same designer, Jonathan Blow, was The Witness. And while I enjoyed my time with the game, it gave me the impression that this dude is really full of himself ? But maybe Braid is better in that regard. In any case, doesn't really look like a well-aged game, so not something I'm interested in (not even available on PS4, so RIP anyways). 

 

Furthermore, I don't think you need to "grow up on something" to be good. I'm sure the reason @Copanele is good at fighting games is because he works his ass off with them, but enjoys learning the mechanics as well. I am always in the camp "if you really put in the work, you can get any trophy". And yes, I believe that you could get Super Meat Boy done. You might suffer in the process, and if you don't like the genre then you are more likely to give up.. but assuming you'd enjoy learning the game as much as doing the trials in your fighters, you would get it done as well. 

 

Hell, I never owned a console until I bought a PS2 when I was like 16 years old... and all I played back then was Final Fantasy, God of War, Devil may Cry and Onimusha... Then again, I am just an exception and naturally god-like at gaming ?

Jokes aside though, I truly believe that with enough patience and perseverance, anyone can achieve even the hardest of gaming achievements. 

[Copanele]

@Arcesius you kinda nailed it there with the "growing up". I don't consider myself "good"yet (you are good when you are a pro online, that's the simplest and most direct way to gauge your skill in these blasted things) but i'll be damned if I don't practice like a motherfucker for these games. Result : The Impossible arcade done twice back to back  plus I LOVE them. 

And that's the thing too. I believe I could do any game including Super Meat Boy . Would I like it ? Hell no! (Still have Crash Bandicoot nightmares). But I'd somehow do it. Same goes for Spaz, if he would enjoy it (and he really started a thing with Tekken :> ) he would airborne shoryuken into disconnect the opponent and send him walking every match . Practice practice practice, that's the key.

 

Hell, I remember now playing one of the few games that I can truly say I am GOOD at : Devil May Cry 3. Since I had no internet and had a bootleg JAPANESE copy (yeah...the "normal is actully hard" one), it took me 8-9 months of playing (basically I had only that and Disciples on my PC) to do Dante Must Die mode and Bloody Palace. Holy hell did I love that game though.

 

Anyhoo...Braid is kinda pretentious. Now that you tell me the Witness is the same...I guess the dev is full of himself. Game tries to be an analogy to the nuclear bomb and that's where it kinda lost me, I just wanted a Super Mario copy with a time twist  not lessons about morality.

Couldn't help myself  Onimusha 3 with Jean Reno is the best Onimusha fite me!

Braid is very niche. It’s one of the older PSN games with trophy support, Super Stardust HD was in fact the first game to get trophy support. 
 

By today’s standards, it is old. But compared to GTA San Andreas, Braid is sort of in the middle. 
 

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has aged even worse in comparison. But it holds a special place in my heart because I simply grew up playing the ever loving shit out of it.

I’ve been gaming since 1992 - 1993, and during that time most console games were basically 2-D platformers. Super Meat Boy is basically a modern platformer, but it still pays tribute to the old stuff. I had an interest in the game for a long time, because I’ve always enjoyed good platformers. 
 

I’m familiar with a lot of Street Fighter, I played Street Fighter IV at a friend’s house. Same with Mortal Kombat 2011. So I’m not completely in the dark on the popular fighting games, but because I haven’t practiced for so long I will have to put a lot of effort in being good at them.

 

Tekken is an excellent middle ground. Not too easy, but not hard at all really.

You started pretty late. There are guys my age I’ve known since they were just kids who had strict parents, who wouldn’t allow them any games. 
 

I was very grateful to have a Nintendo, SEGA Genesis, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube. I played a lot of Mario and Sonic growing up. I can play Super Mario 64 and still have as much fun as I did 20 years ago. 
 

I bought the PS2 and all the games I had for it myself. I rented Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Underground 1 + 2 and Bully, because working a job and going to college couldn’t always afford me a new game.

 No. 107 : Ultra Street Fighter IV

+100% completed

 

Platinum Name : Trophy collector 

Hardest Trophy : Trial Athlete  no introductions needed here

Difficulty : 10/10 - easily the hardest platinum I ever had to deal with

Personal Impression : 10/10 just because of how much this game changed me. 

 

This platinum has been my not-so-hidden main target ever since I actually learned to ENJOY fighting games. Honestly, Street Fighter 4 was the first time I interacted with Street Fighter franchise in 2010-2011 (game was released in 2008 initially but I never had a strong enough PC for it). Since I played  mostly Guilty Gear and Mortal Kombat 4 (when i was terribly bored that is - mk4 is kinda lame), SF4 was an interesting change of pace. Played it only for "ha ha look at Ryu charging up a hadoken, looks flashy", but never tried to get good at it.

 

Fast forward in 2013 and I rediscovered the game : Super Street Fighter Arcade Edition. New characters, including Evil Ryu and Oni convinced me that I need to replay this game and actually learn it. Loved how Oni played and fumbled around with controls until I got decent enough to get Oni and Ryu to rank B in Ranked matches. However I still had no idea how complex and difficult the game actually is. My greatest accomplishment up until then was guessing when to air attack someone and input a Shoryuken correctly. 

 

Another timeskip and here I was on a Playstation 4, with a copy of this damn game, Ultra Street Fighter 4 this time with even more characters, a gamepad that I had no idea how to use properly and a huge list of  trophies to accomplish. I was completely lost, especially since my main way of playing this game was the keyboard (which was a blessing except for characters like Zangief where you had to do 360 motions). It took me SO much to learn the mechanics and combos in this game but it finally paid off.

 

First of all, let me start with the fact that this is A VERY COMPLEX GAME! Yeah, at the surface, firing a hadoken is cute and all, but once you dive in all the mechanics, links, focus cancels, managing your resources and so on it starts feeling like an University course. I actually had to take notes and practice my ass off in order to understand what's going on. I mean sure, I could mechanically copy everything from youtube or another pro player, but I also wanted to LEARN, especially since fighting games aren't my strongest gaming point! In parallel I also started to play other more "chill" fighting games like Injustice, MK10 and even Street Fighter V (what a fun time that was) just to get prepared for this game.

 

To be honest, if you manage to accomplish everything that this platinum asks of you legit, you have become proficient at Street Fighter. This was a VERY demanding platinum, spanning over several months where I was on/off the game just because of the sheer amount of work needed. Basically this game covers 3 big fat portions : ARCADE, ONLINE and TRIALS. I will cover them all to give a basic understanding of what you have to do :

• Arcade : Pretty straightforward for the most part - finish the arcade ladder with all characters. You fight against several opponents, you face your rival then the final arcade boss (Seth, the absolute worst final boss Capcom has ever created, just because he's an amalgamation of other characters' movesets). If you performed exceptionally well (super ending, perfect rounds etc), you fight a hidden boss, Akuma, Gouken, Evil Ryu OR Oni. The trick with Arcade is that in order to get certain titles (required for platinum), you need to beat Arcade on HARDEST difficulty with all characters. What's more if you wish to face and beat Oni on hardest, the requirements to meet him are absurd to the max (Never lose a round, get 2 Perfect victory, get 10 First Attacks, have 5 Super or Ultra combo finishes and defeat Seth with a Super or Ultra combo). Even with some exploits such as firing a second controller to add a second player, this is annoying to do. And yet, Arcade was the easiest of the bunch.
• Online : A very direct task : get all your characters to rank C. 35 characters to rank C. Yes it can be boosted but imagine doing it all legit. Holy moly. I managed to get Ryu and Cody to Rank C no problem and it wouldn't be much of an issue because the servers were full of newbies who just wanted to have fun. The issue here is that servers WERE full, now there's barely any players with shittty connections to boot (Laggy Brazilian Ken players). Given that Street Fighter 5 is firing at all cylinders, it's only understandable that people moved from SF4. Since I didn't have the patience to fight an A ranked Dan player over and over, I decided to boost this for the remaining 33 characters. It was the second worst grind of my life, first being My Kung Fu is Stronger. But enough of this, let's get to the big reason why this platinum is so 10/10 and why people are hesitant of approaching it.
• Trials : The bane of every completionist that starts this game and the thing that stumped me for so long. Trials are basically 24 combos for each characters, that slowly teach you the mechanics and strategies for every specific character. Only issue is that for some characters the trials are so absurdly hard and counterintuitive and have no usage in real online fight situations, you wonder why are they even there in the first place. The worst of them are the 1 - frame links, basically having to link commands in a 1/60 of a second precision. It's not mashing, it's basically if you wish to connect a kick to a punch, you need a SPECIFIC interval of time when you have to hit that button. Hit too early and nothing happens, hit too late and the dummy blocks. This was infuriating for certain characters like Ibuki or El Fuerte, gimmicky characters which require lots of patience and trial and error. My worst offender was Guile however, a character where I straight up cheated (pausing the game to input my next move) just because his command inputs really strained my wrist and fingers to the point of actual pain. I did not want to subject me to this stupid trial (plus I didn't want to re-learn everything on an arcade stick) so I just cheesed through it.

 

Funnily enough, I can compare this game to Brutal Legend of all games : It's less of a game and more of an experience. Makes little sense, I know, but because of this game I got invested in following fighting games events, competitions and world ranked players (favorite is Smug, a beast Dudley (SF4) and Balrog/G (SF5) player). I got invested and did all the mashing and experimenting (and suffering - Screw you MK9 and Injustice 1) just because I liked how Ryu fired Hadokens few years ago. Sure, the community can be ass at times and there's a lot of gatekeepers and tryhards (if someone tells you the trials are easy and you suck for not being able to do them, do not listen to him for he either is lying or has played Street Fighter like a no-lifer 28 hours/24) but the upsides were worth the trouble.

 

I also think I caused one of the biggest strains to this site for having a 194 reply status update  thanks to constant rambling between me, @Spaz and @Atoya. Holy fuck was this game 10 times better just because of this banter, thanks fellas!

 

So yeah...if you wish to go loco with a game and cause an uproar without being worried about a profile completion, give Ultra Street Fighter 4 a go.

Now if only Darkstalkers 3 was as easy....AERIAL 1-frame links are too much for me sadly.

 

Mega Edit : Also huge thanks to @Roronora_Zoro666 for his invaluable help and good trial videos. I know I haven't tagged you in the status update and I am mega sorry for that, I was spent after playing like a madman and it utterly skipped my mind. 

 

THE GOOD:

- Guilty Gear gave me a taste of fighting games, Street Fighter 4 convinced me to love them

- HUGE amount of characters, one of the biggest roster out there

- Complex and intricate combat, easy to learn but very hard to master

- Tons of modes

- online is active to this day

- can create a really well packed community

- you feel like a badass when you pull a sick combo

 

THE BAD:

-The community can be ass at times, you really need to select your resources and people of contact

- Some characters are utterly annoying : looking at you El Fuerte

- Trials can be abit too much

- can cause addiction

Mortal Kombat 4 definitely did not age well. Some fond memories of the game when I played it on Nintendo 64, but by today's standards it is absolute trash.

 

Once again, spectacular work and effort in finishing Ultra Street Fighter 4. If... if.... if I ever decide to get this game then I will believe it will surpass Super Meat Boy as my toughest platinum. Simply because I am not good at fighters, I could always get better but the time commitment would likely take more than I had to put in for Meat Boy.

 

The obstacle for me would be the online, I simply despise online trophies that require me to grind them out endlessly. The trials would probably be another show stopper for me, I simply am too slow for those 1-frame links. Capcom probably took this from Darkstalkers, those old games were not easy.

 

But you managed to complete Ultra Street Fighter 4 quicker than it took me to finish Super Meat Boy. So great job on that.

Now I checked...it took me ONLY 1 year and 8 months to do this? I felt like I've been playing this since forever! But yeah, it might be because I also had it on PC that distorted my time estimation.

Yeah...online would be the greatest pain for you honestly. It's not a fun grind in any way. Trials you'd manage them somehow with the right commitment, but online...way more of a headache than it's worth.

 

Also, just an extra info, I played abit of Samurai Shodown VI last night. Imagine that I am playing on easiest setting and the final 2 bosses just straight up read my inputs  I had a character with an unblockable grab and a legit in-game method to have infinite super bar, which means I could spam a super as many times as I wanted, and the fkin AI STILL dodged every single time. Took me 30 retries to finally defeat them. SNK boss syndrome is really out there in this game.

With the slow internet that I have, it's 10 times worse. So I'll probably never finish Ultra Street Fighter 4 sadly. Plenty of other games to occupy my time with.

That's the thing with older fighting games. Even Tekken Tag Tournament HD was cheap, because no matter what combos I used the AI would just predict that I was going to input that move, block it, then immediately pummel me with a devastating combo that I CANNOT get out of. It definitely pisses me off. All three games in the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection were like this, cheap AI that predicts your every move. Not hard, just incredibly annoying.

 

Maybe if I were you I would take a break from fighting games and finish up Cuphead and start Far Cry Primal.

Oh yeah took a break, I was just messing around before going to sleep last night. I am steadily working on Cuphead (some bosses on expert are...ugh) and One PIece Pirate Warriors 3 is such a TRASH game, I will fire up Far Cry Primal instead. Time to get a "game" vacation.

Also fooling around in DMC5 because that game relaxes me to no end. Whomping Vergil never gets old.

I did not like Primal that much at all. It was cookie cutter the moment the first story mission is being played out. If you still remember Far Cry 4 it's very much identically the same, just you're living as a caveman and there are no guns.

 

Hopefully you won't fall asleep at the game like I did.

I heard Far Cry Primal is very meh and indeed, when I first started it I was terribly bored. But messing around collecting plants and poking sabertooth tigers is a good potentially relaxing game.

Bet you'll see me later on with another dumb game like Arkham Origins or Mirror's Edge started instead  I am NEVER consistent with what I play.

I'd go back to Trine. Despite being a platformer it was a bit relaxing. Puzzles aren't hard at all. Collectibles are the only annoying portion for the platinum.

Yep, Trine, One Piece, Naruto, Far Cry Primal and Shadow of Mordor are the only rather easy games that I have left.

You know what actually! I think this weekend I will play some Overwatch also. I am in the mood of some stupid onlinery all of a sudden and if I manage to randomly get one of those stupid trophies again it would be one crazy feat. 

But yeah overall Far Cry Primal is on my radar. Trine...I will leave it for a bit later, idk I don't feel like it now.

(or I can say fuck it all, fire up my turbo controller and go crazy in Diablo 3. I have so many to pick from...)

Never liked Overwatch. Tried it for a few hours before I just threw in the towel on Steam.

 

It's good that you're going for the platinum in that game, but I fucking hate the modern MOBA. Full of whiny children and guys in their early 20s following the hip and trendy crap while going with the pro MLG generation that just makes me hesitant to play an online only game these days anyway.

Actually Overwatch on PS4 is WAY better than on PC, simply because you can just turn messages to private and nobody is actually writing anything in the chat. On PC however...hoo boy.

Like that, Overwatch is actually a pretty fun game. Not the best, but still pretty decent. Just pick a stupid looking character with stupid attacks and move a cart from point A to point B. Not very high IQ gameplay but still good from time to time. Won't aim to do the platinum for it though, I definitely need to boost it since I don't have patience to play 1000 matches in the hope that I get the perfect setup to get those trophies. Not worth the trouble.

 

MOBA however...DotA, LoL and so on...screw them. Played LoL a few times before deleting the game and my account entirely. And yes it was because of the community. The guys who are regularly complaining about games each month around here are kindergarden level compared to LoL players. I'd rather start coding in Notepad than play a MOBA game again

I could be biased here because I started MMOs back in the early 2000s. MOBAs were basically a twinkle in someone's eye.

 

MOBA caters to Generation Z, the self entitled whiny generation (born 1996 - 2010 or so) that never knew life before instant messaging. Yes, I'm probably going to get a bunch of hate for saying this, but I just can't stand the style in which many of them play. Not trying to generalize here, just saying a number I've played are anything but class.

 

I understand the young people, but I don't love the young people. One reason why I'm not having kids, and today's parents? Oh boy. Don't get me started.
