Popular Post Dreggit Posted December 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) - NOMINATIONS THREAD - Here it is, the nomination thread! In case you have no idea what the Guide of the Year Awards are all about, take a look at this thread. Starting today all members of PSNProfiles can nominate any PSNProfiles guides that have been published between December 2, 2018 and December 1, 2019. During that time 406 guides have been published! Please give a round of applause for our wonderful authors! A full list of eligible guides can be found at the end of this post. A Quick Breakdown on What to Do Give your pick for the Guide of the Year and a good reason why you like it. Try to nominate at least 3 categories (Though you can nominate 7 categories!) and briefly say why you like those. Use the "List of Eligible Guides" at the bottom of this post for some help with remembering/finding this year's guides! The Categories With the 7 categories, it means you are able to vote for more than one guide you loved. Apart from the main Guide of the Year, which is of course still the main category, you will allowed to give other guides the recognition they certainly deserve. Guide of the Year (nominate 1 guide you thought was the best): All 406 guides published over the past year are eligible for your pick of Guide of the Year. The returning categories are (nominate at least 3 categories): Exceptional Walkthrough Guide: A well made, extremely helpful walkthrough of a game or overall trophy list. Exceptional Gameplay Guide: Anything that isn't a walkthrough such as a collectible guide or a supplementary guide Exceptional DLC Guide: Guides for pieces of DLC or patches that add trophies. Exceptional Niche Game Guide: These include guides for indie games and non-AAA games that don't have that many players. Exceptional Use of Formatting: Some writers make their guide so clean and organized it's like an artwork by making great use of headings, colors, images, etc. Exceptional Use of Original Content: Some writers go the extra mile and make their own videos, images, and combination of these within their guide. Exceptional Imported Game Guide: New for this year! The guide creator has gone above and beyond in translating trophy titles, descriptions, and usually additional translation work within the trophy descriptions themselves. These are no easy task! Information on Nominating When nominating guides, you are required to give solid reasons for your choice. Nominations without solid reasons won't count. Each member can only nominate 1 guide per category and once your nomination has been added to this post, you can't change it anymore. Nominations will be added to this post at the end of the day. When considering which guide to nominate, try to make a decision based on the quality. Examples of that are: How helpful was the guide? Was it written in a way that was easy to understand? Was the amount of information enough to obtain all the trophies or did you need to search for information yourself on another site? Has the guide been updated with relevant information about patches (or DLCs) in case these were released? Below are some examples of things you should absolutely not take into consideration when nominating: How much you like / dislike the author(s). How popular the game is. How much you liked the game / were hyped for the game. The amount of views / ratings a guide has. Here Are the Rules Starting on December 2nd, the community will be able to nominate guides for the overall top 3 and a guide in each category that are worthy to be considered for the Guide of the Year Awards. When nominating, a minimum of 4 are required: at least 3 categories and a nomination for the overall top 3. You cannot nominate your own guides! You also cannot use an alternate account of yours to nominate your own guide(s) as well. We've had instances in the past of those using alt accounts to try to manipulate voting, and to that we say: This isn't our first rodeo sheriff, the only sly person around these parts is Sly Ripper You will be required to give solid reasons for your choices. Every guide published on PSNProfiles between December 2 2018 and December 1, 2019 will be eligible, a list will be provided in the nomination thread. Keep in mind that the guide team needs time to review a guide and it may need revisions, so please don't wait until the last day to submit a guide for review. The nomination thread will be closed after two weeks. The top ten guides with the most nominations will go on to the next round. During the next round the PSNProfiles staff (Sly, mods, and the guide team) will pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The total number of nominations for guides in the top ten is irrelevant for our decision. The guides which get the most nominations is not necessarily going to win, the staff will review all ten guides and the only thing that counts is quality! Since we don't want to rush this, expect this to take another 2 - 4 weeks. Due to the added categories, we may even need longer, as this is the first time we're adding new categories. Since the staff will be deciding the winners, their guides will not be eligible! Co-op guides with staff members will be eligible, in case a co-op guide ends up in the top 3, the non-staff writer will get the whole prize. In case a guide has more than 1 writer, the prize will be split between all guide contributors, so long as they contributed a meaningful amount to the guide. We track all edits so this will be checked. List of Eligible Guides We've also been keeping track of this year's list of eligible guides. The lists below are sorted alphabetically and linked to every guide for your convenience. This will hopefully help you narrow things down efficiently and maybe resurface some great guides you've forgotten that you used.

Popular Post Z-Yux Posted December 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Good luck to everyone this year! Here are my picks: Exceptional Use of Formatting: Far Cry 2 Trophy Guide. The author did an amazing job with formatting trophy entries along with all the tables. They made it very easy to read and follow along to. Exceptional Gameplay Guide: Crypt of the Necrodancer - Ultimate Boss Guide. I've heard that this game is very difficult and this gameplay guide does an amazing job with explanations and use of screenshots/pictures to help aid others who are struggling with the Ultimate Bosses and how to tackle them with different characters. Exceptional Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough. With how in-depth this game is and all the potential missables, it was really amazing to see a full 100% walkthrough on this game. The authors did an amazing job with walking you through day-by-day and telling you what exactly to do and when to do what activity. Exceptional Use of Original Content: Resident Evil 2 Trophy Guide [Author: angelbless45]. The author of this guide did very well adding in a plethora of videos for the guide and did a great job depicting on what exactly needed to be done to earn the trophies. Guide of the Year: Catherine: Full Body Trophy Guide. With a ton of missables in this game, the guide author did a great job explaining what needs to be done to ensure that you wouldn't miss these. Also, the table formatting for all the videos in this guide is very well done and easy-to-follow. Lastly, the trophy road map is very descriptive and easy-to-follow. Those are my picks. There were many many great guides to choose from and it sure wasn't easy to narrow it all down to one. Good luck to everyone for this year's awards!

Popular Post BlindMango Posted December 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2019 Great posts so far Keep that nominating going! Haha I also wanted to say as I was compiling this list of all the guides for this year, I was reminded just how many incredibly well done guides were made over the year, a number of them that made me say “Holy crap, I can’t believe they made this” Well done to all of you =D 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post iGGTheEnd Posted December 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I haven't used many newer guides but I remember opening the Persona 5 guide and remembering how freaking insane it was, from day to day walkthroughs it was insane.

Popular Post Burgins Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 Good luck everybody! Lots of impressive guides this year Guide of the Year: Rain World Trophy Guide. A bit of a niche pick here, but this guide is so thorough it's ridiculous. It makes an intimidating platinum into something completely approachable, which is the mark of an exceptional guide to me. I also hope this guide gets more people to check out this fantastic game! Exceptional DLC Guide: Dead By Daylight Stranger Things DLC Guide. A fellow DBD guide writer, MinatoIsDeadLol, did a fantastic job with this one. I love Dead By Daylight with all my heart and this guide is exactly as descriptive as it should be. Both newcomers and veterans alike will take something from this guide. Very, very well done! Exceptional Niche Game Guide: Pantsu Hunter Trophy Guide. This is the sort of thing you hope to see when you get a niche game from a really good sale on a whim. Oftentimes I'll get a lesser known or strange game and find no information about it whatsoever. Other times, I'll get a wealth of information in someone's guide, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Here, it's everything you'll possibly need for this game. Exploring a relatively unknown title to these lengths and cracking out a guide like this is very commendable. I love this guide. Exceptional Use of Original Content: Bloodstained Ritual of the Night Definitive Collectibles Guide. The original pictures alone would be impressive enough, but the immense detail and the great tabling lead to one of the best guides I've seen on the site. Fantastic stuff. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post othmaneAD Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Amazing year for the guides, here's my picks:Exceptional Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough: the sheer amount of detail present in this guide is staggering.

Popular Post Roronora_Zoro666 Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Guide of the Year: Tokyo Xanadu - Collectibles Guide This is the only guide I've used all year. It is very detailed and explains everything in a very concise fashion. The guide is color coded and organized with tables with specific side missions, missable collectibles, etc. Has an Aura I've only seen in the old GameFaq walkthroughs. Exceptional Gameplay Guide: Crypt of the Necrodancer - Ultimate Boss Guide What better than a Platinum achiever to write a guide. One of the hardest games around, this guide breaks down one of the most intimidating/frustratiing parts of the game in a very easy to understand manner. The pictures, tips, and knowledge present in the guide go a long way. I have a lot of respect to the guide writer for taking the time to write this. Exceptional Use of Formatting: Tokyo Xanadu - Collectibles Guide The formatting is sublime. The guide author really outdid themselves. Exceptional Imported Game Guide: Phantasy Star Online 2 Trophy Guide The guide writer did a superb job with the translations, even took the time to work on the DLC. The guide is easy to understand and very organized. I plan to use it when I get the chance. Thank you for answering all my questions, @Mikel.

Popular Post HusKy Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Guide of the Year: Crypt of the NecroDancer Trophy Guide by @Floriiss Gameplay Guide: Crypt of the NecroDancer - Ultimate Boss Guide This is a set of absolutely unique guides like no other, not much to add here. Both guides are superbly done, very in-depth. Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough Extremely thorough and very well written especially for such a long game as P5. Additional nominations (if needed): Dying Light - The Bozak Horde Walkthrough Woven - Collectible / Platinum Walkthroug Both of these are extremely detailed and contain lots of original content by the guide author(s). DLC Guide: Borderlands 2 - Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary DLC Trophy Guide This guide does a good job helping with the last DLC. Contains original content. Guide with Original Content: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Trophy Guide Provides a great checklist for those who are going for Oxide Time trials. Contains lot of original content from the guide maker himself. Guide with Great Formatting: God of War - 100% Trophy Walkthrough Similar to P5 guide but shorter so I put it here. Niche/Indie Game Guide: Ikaruga Trophy Guide Imported Game Guide: Bullet Girls Phantasia Trophy Guide Nominating both of these guides for providing a good overview of the game and looks like they took a good amount of effort to make. Thanks everyone who contributed to PSNP with their guide! Edited December 9, 2019 by HusKy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post exsentry Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Let me start off by saying "bravo" for the staff for putting something like this together and recognizing all the author's hard work. I recommended something like this at another site a few years ago and my idea got ? on. Guide of the Year: Dead Cells. Competition was fierce, but choose this guide due to it's conciseness, excellent formatting, direction, bells & whistles, tips & tricks (e.g. "suggested routes" and times.) The World Map is ?. Gameplay Guide: Batman Arkham Origins Multiplayer Guide. Is there even a more complicated and stressed MP than this game, especially with a looming server shutdown? This guide expertly makes the best of a horrible online experience for novice just jumping in to get the trophies in the most efficient way possible. Walkthrough Guide: God of War 100% Guide. A virtual tome of how to platinum an already fairly easy game in a more expedient manner. A borderline Wiki page on the game, this guide is very well detailed from texts to pictures and recommendations that set the bar in walkthroughs. Everything a player needs to know is right here! DLC Guide: Darkest Dungeon Color of Madness. Albeit a short guide due to the nature of the DLC, it's well written with a lot of detail and gameplay suggestions. Author went above and beyond with what is available with this DLC. Games with Great Formatting: Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition. A lot of hard work went into this guide and is so in-depth I went ahead and bought the game I was so blown away. The guide has an excellent lay out evenly spreading out the trophy information and game information needed to complete this game - a passion project for sure!

Popular Post Strike-Runner Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 Guide Of The Year - Devil May Cry 5 - it looks like a solid guide and me reading this guide and seeing videos of it and people commenting on the guide makes me want to do it in the near future Exceptional DLC Guide - Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 Declassified - the only Black Ops 4 dlc that made me get it done quick I should say it helped me especially with that nova spawn Easter egg where you gain a lot of points to unlock doors and a good amount of the trophies early on Exceptional Gameplay Guide - Resident Evil 2 by angelbless45 - by far a great collectable guide with all codes for locks and puzzles, a collectable video of powerpyx, or reading the guide I didn’t have any trouble following this guide especially what will I be rewarded after I collect and complete a set of collectable or difficulty 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Velvet Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Guide of the Year: Mortal Kombat 11 - Not only is the guide incredibly thorough, but the author stuck by the guide even when the game was going through patches and growing pains, which isn't a very fun thing to do. The end product after it all is a clean and detailed guide that makes the game/plat feel quite doable. Gameplay Guide: I had it narrowed down to 2 for this one, but will be going with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Definitive Collectible Guide. This guide is a beast and all the collectibles are detailed down to even the smallest detail. You can tell a lot of work went in to putting this together which will undoubtedly make the lives of everyone who uses it much easier. Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough. This is a beautiful guide. This game has been on my "to play" list for awhile now, but the time required for it has been a put off. This guide makes the upcoming task of playing seem far less daunting and actually increases the desire to get it done finally. DLC Guide: Resident Evil 2 - Ultimate Survival Guide. At first glance, you would never guess that all the information was for just a supplement. It looks like a full game guide and is well written. Kudos on the speedrun guide included as well. Original Content: Bullet Girls Phantasia Trophy Guide. There's so much content in this guide, the scrolling trophy list doesn't even appear in the correct place. The amount of time it must've taken to put together and sort out is that in and of itself commendable. Keeping track of it all would be a task on its own, so really well done on putting this together. Great Formatting: Dragon Quest Builders 2 Trophy Guide. Tables and images and videos, oh my! Triple threat on this one, but executed really well. Games like this risk running on the cluttered side in regards to information within a guide, but they did a really good job of keeping everything spaced out well enough and easy to find. It can easily work as a guide to hold your hand as you play or just a guide you can use to spot check your progress. Niche/Indie Games: Beat Cop Trophy Guide. I fell in love with this guide the day it was posted. The game itself has more missables than not and the fact that they're all decision-based trophies made the task of playing the game a little off-putting, but once the guide went up, all that went away. It's easy to follow and straight to point of what exactly you need to do. Imported Games: Phantasy Star Nova Trophy Guide. This is the category I'm most unfamiliar with, but I looked at all the guides and tried to choose the one that entices me to play the game the most. This guide is thorough and well written to the point where I forgot the trophies weren't in English, which is a good thing for Imported games (imo). Well done.

Popular Post eigen-space Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 A bit hard to pick guides for this year as the guides I used throughout 2019 were from years past, but some of them caught my eye: Exceptional Walkthrough Guide AND Exceptional use of Formatting: Persona 5 Walkthrough -- This game is daunting, which is why it is still in my backlog. However, this guide makes me much less wary of the game. The use of color, section headers, bolding, image placement, tables, etc in this guide also makes it a pleasure to go through and not as daunting as some other beastly trophy guides. Exceptional Gameplay Guide: Final Fantasy IX Rank S Guide -- Having already played this game, I WISH this guide existed when I was going for the platinum. The treasures in this game can be easy to pass by, and quite a few of them are missable. Having this guide as a companion to the game makes things a lot easier on the player. Exceptional Use of Original Content: Hollow Knight -- This trophy guide has excellent zone maps which seem like they'll be rather useful in conjunction with the descriptions. I look forward to using this guide when it comes time for me to play this game. Overall Game Guide: Dragon Quest XI -- This is one of the few guides I listed that I actually used this year, and it made the game pretty easy to play through. Some of the things in this game are not that intuitive, and this guide presents methods for getting all trophies that make the game seem rather trivial. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vergil Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 Guide of the year. A guide for hardest platinum on ps4. Game takes 900 hours.

Popular Post Spacey_Dweeb Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Exceptional Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough - Falls into the category of the guide I wish I had when I worked on this platinum. Exceptional Gameplay Guide: Crypt of the NecroDancer - Ultimate Boss Guide - I tried this game and never got through a boss. They were too confusing. This guide is soooo needed. Im kind of amazed someone actually put it together with such exceptional detail. Kudos!!Exceptional DLC Guide and/or Exceptional Niche Game Guide: Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn - Barak Fu DLC Guide - This is for the DLC of a niche game. The base game came out last year. Very funny DLC! The guide was very helpful. It shows button combinations for moves and clearly details what is needed for each trophy and when to worry about things, where to grind, etc. Made me really confident that I understood the trophies and could enjoy the game better because I didn't stress on trophy requirements. Exceptional Use of Formatting: Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings Trophy Guide - I'm slowly making my way through the Atelier series and I wish the older games had a guide as in-depth and easy to read as this. Lots of item and quest tables etc. Details of when/where key events are. I haven't played this specific game, but having some of the series under my belt, I can see this tells me exactly what I need. It has so much original content as well. Screenshots galore!Exceptional Use of Original Content: Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition Trophy Guide - Looking forward to starting this game. I know its complex and requires a ton of hours. Looking at this guide, I really feel the guide maker has gone out of their way to have photos of item/upgrades/ etc. I truly think this guide will be at my side and a great resource when I start this game up. Exceptional Imported Game Guide: Present for You Trophy Guide - This is the guide that best made me feel like I could follow along and get a platinum in a game where I can't understand the language.

Popular Post mr2k_pdh Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Guide of the Year: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough Excellent in every category, including: Formatting, depth of information, original content, and aesthetics. I plan on using this guide myself in the near future. Honorable Mentions (HM): Hollow Knight - Trophy Walkthrough, Bullet Girls Phantasia Trophy Guide, & Crypt of the NecroDancer Trophy Guide Exceptional Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough Incredibly detailed walkthrough that walks you through every single in-game day, and provides you with all of the necessary supplemental information that you'd need to platinum the game. HM: Hollow Knight - Trophy Walkthrough Exceptional Gameplay Guide: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Definitive Collectible Guide Another example of a guide that shines in every category. HM: Crypt of the NecroDancer - Ultimate Boss Guide Exceptional DLC Guide: Resident Evil 2 - The Ghost Survivors DLC Trophy Guide A very detailed guide that includes plenty of helpful videos and images. Exceptional Niche Game Guide: Onimusha: Warlords Trophy Guide A detailed guide with great formatting and gameplay tips. HM: Ikaruga Trophy Guide Exceptional Use of Formatting: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough See above.

HM: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough & Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Definitive Collectible Guide Exceptional Imported Game Guide: Bullet Girls Phantasia Trophy Guide Outside of full walkthrough guides, I think this guide is the most in depth. Not only are the trophy names and descriptions fully translated, but you're provided with all of the necessary information to succeed in your pursuit of the platinum.

Popular Post FrenchDevil54 Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 Ok, I'd like to nominate: - Exceptional DLC guide: Dead Space 3 - Awakened DLC Trophy Guide Simply explains what needs to be done to get the trophies plus videos of a whole playthrough of the DLC. - Exceptional Niche Game guide: Ikaruga Trophy Guide The strategies to pass the different levels and boss and getting a high score at the same time is remarkable. Videos are here too to illustrate the method. This game is infamous for its difficulty but I guess that guide would hugely help to get the platinum. - Exceptional Use of Formatting: Bullet Girls Phantasia Trophy Guide A lot of tables with different font colours according to the categories, which makes it easy to understand. - Exceptional Use of Original Content: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Trophy Guide A massive amount of pictures and videos to describe the trophy requirements. Maps are especially useful to know where to go. - Exceptional Imported Game Guide: Dead or School Trophy Guide Well written and translates and explains clearly the trophy requirements with pictures or videos when needed. - Trophy Guide of the Year: Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition Trophy Guide Wow, just wow. So many stuff in that guide: description of the game mechanics, the characters, all the recipes for food or scrolls, stronghold upgrades, etc. And there's even a guide to make a pacifist walkthrough with description of the quests and how to complete them. Everything is well presented with nice tables and a lot of pictures. There is really everything you need to know in the game. Impressive! Overall a lot of great guides, it was difficult to make a selection, congrats to everyone! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ObsiEez Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 Before I get into my nominations, I tip my imaginary fedora to everyone this year who has written a guide as I know from personally experience that it isn't easy writing a guide, especially one of the highest quality. Congratulations to every single guide writer who wrote guides this year as all of you have won in my book for contributing to the community & helping our hundreds of people going for the platinum! Now, with that said, here are my nominations! Exceptional Walkthrough guide - Persona 5 Complete 100% Walkthrough The amount of time & detail that was put into this 100% walkthrough is astonishing & it covers absolutely everything you need leaving nothing to be desired. It's formatted well so you can find what you need to find without much struggle & everything you need is within eyesight when you need it making the guide extremely easy to follow. I had platinum the game before this was made however I wish this existed while I was going for it to make it so much more easier. Exceptional Use of Original Content - Dragon Quest Builders 2 Trophy Guide I was planning on writing a guide for this one myself but I'm glad I didn't now because this guide is so much higher quality than I would have made it with all original videos from the writer himself & goes into detail with every trophy so you know exactly what you have to do in order to get the trophy. The time it took to make all the videos required as well as write the entire thing must have taken a lot of time & effort & it really paid off. Exceptional Imported Game Guide - Phantasy Star Online 2 Trophy Guide The amount of time & translation that must have went into this guide is just stupid. So much detail & time was put into this guide so even if you can't read Japanese you still know EXACTLY what must be done since it's extremely easy to follow. It's time investments & attention to detail that makes or breaks a guide, & it really makes this guide. Overall Guide of the Year - Kingdom Hearts 3 Trophy Guide Oh my god the amount of time & attention to detail in this guide is suburb. This guide has absolutely everything you need to get the platinum without having to google anything because they list absolutely everything you need in the guide itself. I had the game platinumed before the guide came out but this would have made my platinum journey so much more easier since I had to check about 3-4 different places to get everything I needed to finish it where as the guide as everything you need right there at the click of a button. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrs1nrs1 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 A big congrats to everyone who contributed this year, as someone who did I know how much effort and time go into writing even a small guide! Guide of the Year - Death Stranding Trophy Guide For a game that can be an insane post-story grind, this guide did a fantastic job breaking down each step into manageable chunks so as not to lose momentum. Very well written and is already being utilized! Gameplay Guide - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Definitive Collectible Guide Bloodstained has a LOT of collectibles. I felt hopelessly lost at the beginning of the game, seriously considering if I COULD get them all. This guide simplified the process immensely and made checking off each item kind of fun! Walkthrough Guide - Hollow Knight - Trophy Walkthrough The allure of any metroidvania is the interconnected levels (also Dark Souls). Hollow Knight was really tricky for me to wrap my mind around, but this guide does a fantastic job segmenting Hollownest into areas and taking the time to allow for mistakes and player errors. I never felt rushed or lost when using this guide! Niche/Indie Game Guide - North Trophy Guide What an obtuse, difficult game. Not only is it broken and challenging to even get the trophies to pop, the game is really hard to keep playing. It's only listed as an hour for 100%, but I felt more burned out playing North than any other small game. It took a lot of willpower for me to even want to finish it, but this guide made the process a little less painful 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allerburn Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 My nomination for guide of the year was determined as soon as the guide was published. Having reviewed the excellent quality of some of the other guides nominated it seems like it's been a phenomenal year in terms of quality and commitment to helping out the trophy hunting community. Nominations as follows: Exceptional Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 100% Walkthrough Phenomenal guide in terms of detail and content all excellently formatted in a simple to use manner. Unfortunately I didn't get to use this in my playthrough and I needed to play with 5+ other browsers open throughout to make sure nothing was missed. Seeing a step by step walkthrough and reading into the detail on a 100+ hour game was frankly staggering. Exceptional Gameplay Guide: Crypt of the Necrodancer - Ultimate Boss Guide Not only does this guide give the basic strategies to help beat the bosses in one of the hardest games on the PS4, it covers in depth strategies for all different kinds of scenarios. Add to this the brilliant use of original screenshots and videos in a very well formatted guide and there is more content here than in most platinum walkthroughs. Exceptional Use of Formatting: Hollow Knight Trophy Walkthrough Beautiful guide with excellent use of original content along with what looks like original use of fonts and excellent layout throughout. Will eventually play this game to make use of this guide. Exceptional Use of Original Content: Crypt Of The Necrodancer Trophy Guide What do you do when you're one of only 10 people to have obtained the platinum trophy of one of the hardest games in existence? Add a tonne of screenshots, videos you've captured yourself along with in-depth strategies and detail. This is a 900+ hour platinum and putting this guide together must have taken another couple of hundred more. Guide of the Yea: Crypt Of The Necrodancer Trophy Guide This guide is an absolutely stunning piece of work. The author could have easily have written a very simple guide with some high level strategies a 10th of the size and would have gotten a lot of kudos just for achieving the platinum. But no, this is a hugely in-depth guide which is brilliantly formatted with all original content. To top this off it has a companion guide just focusing purely on the bosses. All this for a game which is extremely niche and will appeal to a handful of sadists who want to attempt this. Unlike the Hollow Knight guide this does not make me want to play the game, it reinforces just how difficult this game is. Despite this I read both guides word for work out of some form of morbid curiosity. The publishers of the game should be thanking the author as I would not be surprised if sales of the game saw an uplift of sales after a few brave souls attempted this platinum after being inspired by this guide. To see what an achievement this guide is watch this speedrun by SpootyBiscuit and then read the guide to understand what the hell is going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-l9V8G97RU 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draps-1337 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I have never posted on the forums before (only lurked). But the Persona 5 100% guide was so damn good, I had to put in a nomination for it. In doing so it really made me think about the solid guides I've been using this year. Guide of the Year: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough This guide was so incredibly detailed and well structured. The daunting nature of such a massive game and having a non-spoiler (unless you were to read ahead) walkthrough was an impressive feat. Exceptional Walkthrough Guide: Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough The fact that the writers of this guide knew the exact times to most efficiently complete each task showed a love that was impressive. Exceptional Use of Formatting: Catherine: Full Body Edition - Trophy Guide This guide is structured for fantastically for completing each of this games 14 or so ending. I'm currently using this guide and it has been really easy to find the information I need. Exceptional Use of Original Content: God of War - 100% Trophy Walkthrough This guide has so many screenshots for all the collectables that can be indeed really hard to spot/find. A lot of time went into making all these images and editing where necessary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesopithecus Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Exceptional Walkthrough Guide - Persona 5 - Complete 100% Walkthrough I used this walkthrough guide recently and it's incredible. The level of detail within the guide, it is clear that the guide author put a lot of care and thought into this, not to mention the time it would have taken them experimenting with the game to find the optimal route. The layout is perfect too and makes everything easy to find and reference. Exceptional DLC Guide - Final Fantasy XV Episode Ardyn DLC Trophy Guide The way this guide is written is amazing, sometimes I feel daunted when reading trophy guides but this is so well written and provides strategies in such an easy to understand way. I really enjoyed following along and using all the advice given for Return of the Founder King trophy. All the information made it easy to complete the DLC in one playthrough Exceptional Niche Game Guide - Outer Wilds Trophy Guide This one I actually played on Xbox so it's not on my PSN profile (yet!!) The game itself follows a 22 minute time loop, so sometimes time management is key to obtaining the trophies. The guide does an amazing job at providing in depth information on how to achieve the trophies - especially Beginner's Luck which is one of the hardest trophies in the game. I love how the author has also included their own videos, makes me appreciate more the time and effort they have put into this guide Exceptional Use of Original Content - Hollow Knight Trophy Walkthrough Hollow Knight is one of those games where there is no one set route to take, but the fact that the author here has spent time working out not only an optimal route but providing maps that they have customized themselves, is amazing. I love that they have also used their own videos for each of the sections too. The amount of time that goes into a guide, to add all that original content, you can see that the author clearly cares about the quality they are producing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I think it would be a nice idea to not only nominate guides but also mention 1 other forum-goer to cast their nominations with the goal of getting more submissions. I have posted my submissions above and I'm picking @Mori to cast his nominations and to choose 1 other person. Go! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
