Spacey_Dweeb Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Alright, I think I've gotten my choices buttoned down. I pretty much found a dozen games or so that I want to play right now, and then wedged what I could into the categories for this event. I don't know details about many of them, so I won't be too surprised, if I need to make some changes after other people get a load of my game choices. My justifications for each pick are in the spoiler tag below my list. - Lose Weight - Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey (Oskar) - Focus on Family - Thronebreaker (Queen Meve & her son) - Update Relationship Status - Man of Medan (Conrad & Fliss) - Go to the Gym - AC Odyssey (Alexios) - Find Time for Yourself - Slime Rancher (Slime Ball) - Get a Job - Vampyr (Doctor) - Finish Your Masterpiece - Beat Saber (Rhythm/dance) - Volunteer More - Days Gone (Building trust with the camps) - Do Better in School - Resident Evil 2 (Claire) - Make More Money - Ghost Recon Wildlands (Resource gathering) Spoiler Oskar is an overweight character that is a main party member in Atelier Sophie which was used as an example game. I see a trophy in the list that is for joining up with Oskar as Firis. I don't know much about this game. I believe you mainly play as a former queen that was forced from the throne when her son seized power. I think the point of the game is to take the throne back from him. If that's true, it is a mother/son power struggle for the ages and would fit well here. This is a case where I don't want any spoilers so I did not research this one to know for sure. Another game that I don't know too much about. But it's from the makers of Until Dawn which was listed as an example for this category. A quick Google search said something about Conrad and Fliss getting together based on in-game choices. So I think that it works. Alexios is a beast. Kassandra is pretty built for a woman as well. Greeks pretty much defined what an ideal body should look like for all humanity, so I'm confident this one fits well here. There is a Slime Ball game that is basically like one of those basketball games you see at arcades. I have one trophy left in this game and have put it off for more than a year and really should wrap this one up. I'm not 100% sure you do your day job in the game. I believe one of the main themes of the game is reconciling being a vampire and a doctor at the same time and there's a trophy for healing people. So I'm guessing this fits the category. Rhythm game that I think shows some musical talent and depending on your definition maybe even a bit of dancing is involved. I've worked on this platinum before and found the skill cap was too high and I got sick of hearing the same 15 songs over and over before I got good enough to be perfect in expert difficulty. I'm hoping buying some of the DLC song packs that are available now will breathe new life into the game. I am not sure I will ever be fast enough to actually get the platinum. But if not, the VR workouts from trying will help with my actual resolution to lose some weight this year. I am under the impression that there are tons of side activities that you do to build up trust/loyalty with the survivor towns in the game and that those are not directly tied to the story. I know this sounds like a bad choice. Let me explain. I got this game for Christmas. I just noticed today, when taking the plastic off, Claire is described as a student on the back of the case. To further confirm this description, I found that the trophy for completing hardcore mode as Claire is titled, "Hard Core College Student." Although it's has no importance to the in-game events, I feel RE2 fits the "play as a student" requirement for this category. Buying all upgrades requires a ton of resources. I platinumed this game on another account and at the end of the game, I spent several hours post-story grinding to earn enough of those for upgrades. I'm close to finishing the game again, but this time did a better job of earning resources as I went because I already have the Only The Best trophy for buying all upgrades out of the way.

Alternatewarning Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Question, do these cames need to be 'completed' or 'platinum'? Since I have a few good ideas but some of them are LONG plats that I may not have time to finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right! With an impressive weight loss for Oskar, I could argue it fits the spirit of the category even better now, but doesn't meet the requirement as written. I will double check with our host and see if there's wiggle room. But I am guessing that I'll need to switch it. What do think @eigen-space? Does Firis work for the lose weight category?

Unfortunately Oskar in Atelier Firis doesn't work. Firis fits for several of the categories though... Family (Firis and Liane are sisters), Gym (Angriff is pretty cut), Job (running an Atelier becomes her job), Volunteer (game has quests and subquests), School (Firis is a student of alchemy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varhur Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Could someone tell me if Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 would count for Do Better in School? I saw first game listed in this category and idk anything about this game, DLC for this seem more accessible (one dollar DLC vs searching for Ultimate Sith Edition). And yeah, i'm signing up for this, just need to finish my list. Edited December 29, 2019 by Varhur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey_Dweeb Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I was having trouble thinking of games with fat characters so I decided to go through my games tonight and think about it more closely and make a list. I hope it helps others with their selections. This list is not meant to be definitive of what's acceptable and I'm not in charge of any part of this event. Ask @eigen-spaceif you have a question about your specific game. I left games out for various reasons and tried to make choices I felt solidly met the criteria for the category. Some examples of what I left out were games with fat skins for characters like Uncharted and games with character creators like Saints Row and Fallout 4 since you can choose whether or not someone is overweight and therefore overweight people may or may not be in the game. I also ended up taking out most non-human characters like Glottis from Grim Fandango and Toggle from Little Big Planet and some thick boys and girls like Magni from God of War and the 9th Sister from Jedi Fallen Order. It was hard to draw the line on who should or shouldn't be included and they just seemed big, but not fat. Firewatch - Henry Day of the Tentacle - Hoagie Detroit Become Human - Rose Chapman Persona 5 - Junya Kaneshiro Burly Men at Sea - All are big and burly For Honor - Shugoki Mafia 3 - Lou Marcono AC Odyssey - Sokrates (Historical philosopher) All Rebooted Tomb Raiders - Jonah Maiava Atelier Sophie - Oskar Déraciné - Lorinc Fat Princess Adventures - The princesses The Last of Us - Bob Child of Light - Finn South Park games - Cartman Overwatch - Roadhog Little Nightmares - The Twin Chefs Witcher 3 - The Bloody Baron Spider-Man - Kingpin Broken Age - F'ther, Harm'ny, Car'l, Ch't Borderlands 2 - Ellie Heavy Rain - Carter Blake Lego Harry Potter - Hagrid The Banner Saga - Iver Wolf Among Us - Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum Valiant Hearts - Emile Batman Arkham City - Penguin Prey - Alex Yu Thronebreaker - Count Caldwell Dark Souls - Seigward "Onion Bro" Uncanny Valley - Buck Edited January 16, 2020 by spacey_dweeb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blu3st4rdust305 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Another great event idea! I would like to join this one. Trying to use a unique list here as to not include any games already noted for any other event.

No DLCs though, pretty easy to plat and should be easy enough to find. That version is for PS3. Of the examples, Time and Eternity is a PS3 game (though it is not a good game) and while I think it has DLC content, none of it has trophies tied to it.
