Han_the_Dragon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 5 hours ago, ladynadiad said: I'd actually suggest a VN. It only has to be a young girl and most VNs have reasonably young female protags and are quick and easy to finish. My own pick has a protag who is about high school age. For Winter Solstice, have you played Code Realize: Wintertide Miracles? It's a great choice for that category and very easy to plat. Code Realize games in general would be a good pick for St. Lucia's Day too since Cardia is pretty young, even more so when you consider her life before meeting Lupin in the first game. All the games are on sale right now too and I platted Bouquet of Rainbows and Wintertide Miracles in a few days. Thanks for the suggestion, I actually plat the first Code Realize and actually since I mainly skip read through it, it end up leaving a bad taste in my mouth, because I like the steampunk setting and would had enjoyed it if I actually had given it time (before that, I had skip through most of Amnesia Memories, because I was getting bored by it). In essence I really just don't want to skip to plat something so soon.. And I'm slow with VN, I usually take over a month to plat one ?, I will take a look at the sale and see, maybe some VN catch my eye.. I also think that I found the right game for Winter Solstice, because I looked at the spreadsheet and 2 people put Season After Fall and Degrees of Separation as their games. I own both and 1 is a quick 4 hours 100% and the other a 8 hours plat from what the guide says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn't encourage skipping either unless you are just not interested in a particular character, but I know I sure can quickly get absorbed into a good story. Though I don't blame you for skipping on Amnesia: Memories, some of the routes are not great and a lot of people skip on Toma's route just because of the content. I'm just glad you found something! Definitely better luck than me with finding something for Boxing Day because I just don't tend to play games involving a lot of fist fighting.

I actually looked, and since a "young kid" also works, maybe I can use Life is Strange 2, but I would prefer something on Vita (Root Letter seems to be well liked by nearly everyone, so, I'm kind of interested, but not sure if I would have enough time to finish it before the event end). As for you, wouldn't KH2 work? I looked at your profile, and that's one of the latest games that you have played, that's why I'm saying this (The Beast fights with it's fists, so, it should count).

True, but I also have way too much left to be finishing that up in a few days and I'm having trouble with it. Still have to finish Cavern of Remembrance, a Critical run, all the optional bosses, satisfying the Mushroom XIII, a bunch of minigames, and so on. Root Letter is a good one and it's actually not as long as most VNs are. You play the game once, then replay it and answer the letters differently for the other endings so on the replays you can skip the first seven chapters and then only read the new endings. It's also more point and clicky since you have to investigate scenes kind of like Ace Attorney. The story is good though and the 15 hours in the guide is a pretty solid estimate.

Ok, I that's really a lot to do (I still have the Critical run to do for ages, stuck in Olympus), so, I see that's not an option for you. There are a few fighting games that are easy and quick plats, but for you, you probably would need to detour to much from your usual type of games. And definitely RPGs are a no go, because they are so long to complete. Ok, that looks good, I will probably grab it by next weekend, just hope to be able to get most of the others done by Saturday.. Good thing that most should be quick to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alternatewarning Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 And that is game number three. Officially finished Period: Cube right at midnight. I will not be getting to Ashen Hawk in time, I just have too much else going on. But I did get three games done and two of them count as bonus~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Slime King Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 US Thanksgiving (Nov 28th) - Clan of Champions (BONUS)Black Friday (Nov 29th) - Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms Saint Lucia's Day (Dec 13th) - Child of Light ? (BONUS) New Years Day (Jan 1st) - Psychonauts Probably the last game I'll get done for this event, I started on the 22nd and finished on the 28th but was too interested at the end to hold off on the last level. It's an older game from the PS2 era, re-released on PS4 and it was the first time I've played it. Good timing though, apparently a long awaited true sequel is in the works and I would be pretty psyched for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladynadiad Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Thanksgiving - Omega Quintet Black Friday - Wizards of Brandel Saint Lucia's Day - London Detective Mysteria Las Posadas - Code Realize: Bouquet of Rainbows Winter Solstice - Code Realize: Wintertide Miracles Hannukah - Punch Line Christmas - Asdivine Kamura Kwanzaa - Cosmic Star Heroine Boxing Day - Nothing yet New Year's Day - Crossovers by POWGI (NA Vita) So I wrapped up a new game in time for New Years as well. Work was slow and boring so I had plenty of time to wrap up a POWGI game. Probably won't be able to find and finish something to fit for boxing day in time so this likely is the last game.

Neocarleen Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Because apparently I have an issue with commitment and would rather play a bunch of different games instead of the ones I had allotted... here is an updated list for me: ✔️ United States Thanksgiving: Life is Strange 2 ✔️ Black Friday: Megaquarium ✔️ Saint Lucia's Day: Among the Sleep ✔️ Las Posadas: Elea Winter Solstice: Degrees of Separation ✔️ Hanukkah: Refunct Christmas: Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth Kwanzaa: ✔️ Boxing Day: Max Payne ✔️ New Year's Day (January 1st): Mekabolt I still intend to do the Winter Solstice and Christmas games I signed up for. I just had to change some of the others, and added a few. Sorry for being difficult ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceCoresDad Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Man, my holidays had a lot more going on than I originally intended, but everything is all updated now, I promise! I hope everyone had a happy new year, and is ready to take on 2020. Sadly, with the 1st well behind us, that was the last chance to gain the bonus badge but it looks like a lot of people managed to fit it in. That said, don't despair! There's still some time left before the event ends, if you haven't completed three games yet. As always, let me know if there's anything wrong with the chart and I'll change it.

Han_the_Dragon Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) As I said earlier, I was going to do Persona 3 DiM for Thanksgiving, because I'm really thankful for more Persona, but I end up also wishing for a remaster of the P3 RPG with the current artwork... I should continue with Degrees of Separation or Jurasic Park or Primal as I had planned, but not feeling like it ? I will play Tekken 7 for now and continue later.. My current standings (5/10): Thanksgiving - Persona 3: Dancing in the Moonlight Black Friday - Crystal Defenders St. Lucias Day - Root Latter Las Posadas - Redout Winter Solstice - Degrees of Separat Hannakkah - The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition ? (bonus) Christmas - Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star ? (bonus) Kwanzaa - Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation (bonus) Boxing Day - Primal...

Also, I'd highly disagree on it being "easily" done in a day since I've already tried and failed miserably at the challenge of the gods. I do appreciate you looking, but I don't think I'm up for going from one frustrating game to another right away since I recall God of War having very frustrating controls and platforming and that's why I've not finished it yet. I have one possible thought. I started Danganronpa 1-2 Reload and there are definitely more than a few instances where someone tries to punch Monokuma or another character. Definitely a lot more fist fighting than one would expect for a game like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 hour trophy is super easy with the Cow costume and the challenge of the gods only has 1 or 2 bad levels.

Last time I tried it, I got stuck on the second one and didn't get any further before my patience with the game ran out. The whole need to do it all in one sitting thing is also a pain. But you are right that the Danganronpa games are great and I played 1 and 2 before on Vita. I can likely wrap up most of the first game this weekend and that gives me enough time to finish up the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassylvania Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Well, I'm not going to have time to finish Hollow Knight before the end of this event, so I'm going to have to stop at nine games completed. Yeah, I know I could technically play a quick game to finish off the list, but I made a promise to God that if the Vikings beat the Saints in the playoffs, I'd begin Kingdom Come: Deliverance. (Which, come to think of it, would also work for that category, but I won't have time to finish that either.) Thanksgiving - Mark of the Ninja: Remastered - 100% Black Friday - Cosmic Star Heroine - 100% Saint Lucia's Day - Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout - 100% Las Posadas - Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - 100% Winter Solstice - Frost - 100% Hanukkah - Goodbye Deponia - 100% Christmas - FORFEITED BY AN ACT OF GOD Kwanzaa - Broken Age - 100% Boxing Day - Batman: Arkham City - 100% New Years Day - Graveyard Keeper - 100% Edited January 6, 2020 by Cassylvania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
