@ladynadiad Ok, thanks, definitely going to play it blindly, and probably will start with it instead of Psycho-Pass. I will also see if Jurassic Park Episode 2, 3 or 4 can be used to replace Psycho-Pass.

 

And since I'm posting, I can also make a new update, since I finished Jurassic Park Episode 1, and it should count for the Focus on Family (it even has a trophy named "World's Best Dad"...) 

 

I'm currently focusing on FF8 and just reaching "disc 3", so, I still don't expect to have it finished this weekend.. 

 

My current standings (7/10):

Lose the Weight  - DanganrompaDanganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

Focus on Family - Jurassic Park: The Intruders ? 

Update Relationship Status - √Letter 

Go to the Gym - Under Night in-birth Late[st]

Hi all, hope all of you have a good time. Five games are completed so badge is earned.

My fifth update for this event:

• I decided to switch the game I use for the "Go to the Gym" category:  Since Barret Wallace's appearance is more well trained then fat in any way I will use Final Fantasy VII for this category.

Keep forgetting to update. I have two more categories and a possible third. I completed Sly 2 Band of Thieves for the Lose the Weight category because you play as Murray the hippo. I also completed Beyond : Two Souls for the Get a Better Job category. You play as Jodie Holmes, a CIA operative whom you go on missions as for her job.
 

I also completed inFamous and was wondering if that would count in the Go to the Gym category? Cole MacGrath has to be quite ripped under that jacket with all of the climbing he does in the game. Just curious...

Finished PvZ: Battle for Neighborville and my goodness did it take forever! I have been rethinking titles too though so I've replaced LittleBigPlanet Vita with P4:DaN for the masterpiece as I'd rather play that and I've swapped Anarchy Reigns for Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard as that game looks really goofy and fun.

[Kristycism]

Uhhhhh I've been forgetting to update here, my bad! But I've now completed four games on the list, yay! I had actually finished the last two a while ago but had been waiting to pop the plats since I was at a milestone. I also need to update my games for "Go to the Gym" (because I mentioned the wrong Batman game) and "Find Time For Yourself" (because my previous choice didn't count).

Changing Make More Money from Scratt to Tales of Berseria. Haven't started Scratt so that works!!

[Inuty]

So not sure if this would Count but I´m just curious. I finished Ys Origins and wanted to put it in the category "Do Better in School". Why? One of the characters you are playing is a knight apprentice and for me this is much like a student who wants to be a knight @eigen-space what is your opinion on that? If you say it´s a no go then it´s fine by me Otherwise I would put it in the category.

 

[eigen-space]

@Inuty, that's a bit of a stretch to me for the school category. I'll let others weigh in though.

4th Update (Week of February 10th)

 

No new games completed. I have been working/concentrating on Nier: Automata and will probably get it done within the next week or two. Without saying too much of the game I have gotten Endings A and B completed (along with lesser known endings G, T, and U ?) and stuff has started to pick up with Ending C (or D). I'll admit I'll definitely buy some of the trophies at the end (there is a mechanic of that in the game for those who never heard/played Nier: Automata), but I'm experiencing as much of the game as I can.

[Beyondthegrave07]

Yes! 5th game DONE! I got a badge! 

 

Bully

 

 

Omg, I love this game so much and had a blast replaying this game 10 years later for trophies. Easily my favorite R* game and probably a top 5 PS2 game imo.

 

With that being said, Do Better In School is done, and with an attendance rate of 11.85% in game, definitely on my way! Haha.

 

I think I'm going to move on to Destroy all Humans and see if I can fit a circle in a square peg and count it for another category and get to 6.

 

Recap:

 

Lose the weight - Arcade Series: Pac-Man

Go to the gym - Tomb Raider Underworld

Finish your masterpiece - Unfinished Swan

Volunteer More - Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage

Game # 2 I have completed the Mini game Time Category - AI The Somnium files       

 

Exceptional game, blend of VN and Escape room with fantastically over the line Japanese humour and a dance number to boot. 

 

@eigen-space I will get that badge for 5 don't worry, it might require some game changes but I believe we are not locked in until we plat the game if I read the rules correctly, which to be honest I may not have so I will be guided by you here. Now as for that jab about having completed X number of plats this year but only 2 for this well I think you need to consider that FF12 is really like 5 years worth of gaming for me

 

PS : I think you should reconsider your position ever so slightly and run a Eurovision song event again. I heard there is this random dude who really enjoyed it last year ..............

[gruffiiti]

Monday update (a day late):

Been getting back into Dark Souls this past week and working towards this platinum. Had a few minor setbacks and a required restart but having good fun with this game. A bit annoying when you are trying to play with a friend and you keep getting invaded by people jacked up for PVP when you are just looking to play through the game but hey.. makes it interesting i guess.

 

I also finished up Concrete Genie last night. The DLC will have to wait as it required a VR unit. I will buy one eventually but have not as of yet. Till then it will sit at 95% on my profile.

I finished BioShock over the last few days and after musing over where it could fit, I think it's a great candidate for Finish Your Masterpiece.  Fairly early on in the game you have to find a camera and you use it to take pictures of the enemies, there are also quite a few trophies tied to photography including one where you are required to help complete a great masterpiece

 

This was my first experience with the BioShock games and I absolutely loved it - the story, the gameplay, the setting - everything about it was perfection to me.  I don't usually play many FPS games so this was a little outside of my comfort zone but I enjoyed it so much I'm now planning on playing Bioshock 2 straight after.  I was a little worried as people reported issues with glitches, crashing and save corruption but I experienced none of that, I saved pretty often anyway so a crash wouldn't have been too terrible.  I loved exploring around and it was one game where I didn't have to worry too much about using a guide, even the audio logs can be relatively easily found if you explore around everything.  My husband also got a kick out of watching me play, as it's a series he's completed before.

 

The DLC was also fun but I did use a guide for these, particularly to help with the speed run trophies as usually I hate anything that's timed.  Achieving these trophies was very satisfying for me, I also loved completing the level that requires you to use only the wrench, camera, plasmids and tonics - it made me think more about different strategies.

This one kinda came out of nowhere, but Dragon's Lair is now done. I'm going to put this is the LUUUUURVE category. Why? Because Dirk the Daring is risking life and limb to try to shag Princess What's-Her-Name. Wait, that's Earthworm Jim. Princess...Angelica? Daisy? Toadstool? Leia? Kairi? Elsa, Anna, Moana, Merida, Rapunzel, Tiana, Mulan, Pocahontas, Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White!?

Thanks to @Mesopithecus! Never thought About putting Bioshock to the Finish Your Masterpiece category! Hope you enjoy Bioshock 2.

 

I also want to put Bioshock 2 in the category "Focus on Family". In this game you Play as an old Version of a Big Daddy who was linked with only one of the Little Sisters. Eleanor Always calls you Father and the whole game is About saving Eleanor in Rapture. Because of this Special link and the fact that you adopted the Girl is the reason I want to put it in the category "Focus on Family".

I feel like I should point out that I opted out before my name gets drawn, though.. Don't see it on the spreadsheet, at least. And I wouldn't want to wait till it happens to say something. With my luck in drawings here, I wouldn't count out the possibility.
