The New Year's Resolution Event (Event Finished)

[Yen-Pop]

Awwwwoooooooo! While some people, whose opinion I value, have lorded Night in the Woods as indie darling garbage, I actually really enjoyed this gaming experience, which is great for me since I've wanted to play this game for ages! And while I really, really enjoyed the Demontower mini game, the bass mini game can burn in donut hell. 

 

EDIT 2/9:

Well that was fast. Since my post is still on this page, I'll just edit this one! I finished Rogue, which took a lot less effort than I previously expected which makes me wonder I hadn't finished it up ages ago. Either way, it was a fun trip down memory lane, especially since I really loved the naval battles of this era of Creed games. 

 

Three four down!

 

 Lose Weight: Trover Saves the Universe 

 Focus on Family: Bioshock Infinite (PS4) 88%

 Update Relationship Status: The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan 19%

 Time For Yourself: Night in the Woods  

 Better Job: Donut County

Hi all, hope all of you have a good time. Since weeks I had less time for gaming because of my fucking job but hope to have a resolution for this problem soon. 

And now my fourth update for this event:

• Some progress here and their on Vikings: Wolves of Midgard (HC run on lowest difficulty) and Tales of Hearts R (NG+)
  • The later game I less enjoy because of the pure Japanese voiceover although I like watching animes in Japanese.
• Finished Day of the Tentacle Remastered yesterday
  • Had this game an awful bunch of trophies. Oh my gosh! But I was happy that there is a 100% text guide available.

List of games:

If I understand the description right then a game with strong family elements is okay.

I used Last of Us for that category, so I would say feel like they are family is fine.

They would have to be family through blood, adoption, or marriage.

So, I have another question. I know the first rule says the main game must be completed during the event, but what about Shovel Knight's DLC? Each of those packs is practically a brand new campaign, with at least one trophy that requires completing what is essentially a full trophy list. Could we use, say, the new King of Cards DLC to count towards the event? I don't know how long it is, but I know Plague of Shadows and Specter of Torment were extensive enough to receive their own trophy lists. (Unfortunately, only SoT managed to get that.)

[eigen-space]

@Cassylvania, DLC doesn't count toward this event. Only base game completions count.

[Deceptrox]

One more game completed, only 4 left:

 

Focus on Family: Assassin's Creed: Syndicate✓

 

Update Relationship Status: Alone With You (PS4)✓

 

Go to the Gym: God of War III Remastered✓

 

Find Time For Yourself: Demetrios (PS4)✓

 

Do Better in School: Claire (PS4)✓

 

Make More Money: Dead Nation (PS3)✓?

[Arctic Cress]

Only my 2nd update after I finished a game on New Year's itself, but it counts all the same. YU-NO could fit Focus on Family and Update Relationship Status as well, but I'm choosing to put it in Do Better in School as Takuya is a high school student and the school is a major location in the first half of the game.

 

Lose the Weight

Find Time For Yourself  
Get a Better Job -  AI: The Somnium Files

The gameplay has to have something related to art, whether it be a game where you're doing photography (Spider-Man, Trails of Cold Steel 3, etc), dancing-- real or simulated (Just Dance series, Persona Dancing series, etc), painting (Okami, The Unfinished swan), singing-- real or simulated (Singstar, Hatsune Miku), playing an instrument (Guitar Hero), building something (Terraria, Minecraft).... so just having distinct art in the game wouldn't count... the gameplay has to have an element of art itself. The biggest stretch for acceptance in this category is if the character in the game was some kind of artist and they show the character performing the art in game-- like how in Blue Reflection there are ballerinas but you don't actually make them dance, they just do so in cutscenes.

 

What would you say about Erica, as there is one scene were you draw in your notebook? It's only that scene, but I'm having some difficulties finding a game that I already have for this one

Not familiar with the game, but if you aren't actually physically drawing throughout the game (like you would in something like Okami) and the character isn't an artist of some kind (like in Blue Reflection there are multiple ballerinas that dance a couple times in cut scenes) then it probably doesn't fit the category.

You play the game with your phone, and you have to do the gestures so she makes the drawing, so you are kind of drawing. But it is just one scene, so that's my doubt.

I'd have to say it's not appropriate then as it's not an overarching theme in the game.

Monday update:

Spent the week trying to finish up one of the oldest games on my profile in Real Farm. This was my first experience with a Farming Sim. It was an impulse buy a few years ago as it was cheap as chips and the visuals looked pretty good in the screen shots I had seen. It has a few good things going for it but for the most part it felt like it was only half finished. Luckily there was a work around for the glitched Job Hopper trophy so the hardest part on the road to platinum was trying to stay awake while knocking out meaningless jobs for other farmers.

 

I would also like to change out my Finish Your Masterpiece game to Concrete Genie as you play as an artist who has to save his hometown through his art and drawings. You physically have to use the DS4 controllers motion detection to paint. Wasn't a big fan at first but you get the hang of it fairly quickly.
