I definitely agree with you there, I'd actually like another game with her as the lead character as it worked out really well I thought.

The ending definitely left the door open for more, but also gave enough closure for me to be content if they did not. At the end of Uncharted 4 it was somewhat implied that Sam and Sully would work together on something, so that could be factored in. I'd also like to see Charlie Cutter again. He was in Drake's Deception for the first third only but still managed to become one of my favourite characters. I imagine if they did make a new game it would be either Chloe or Sam as the lead, as Sully's a little old for the climbing sections and Cutter's not as big a character as the rest. Not sure about Nadine. We'll see what happens in the future, ND is all hands on deck with The Last of Us right now so imagine it'll be a while before we hear anything one way or the other.

Speaking of Sully though, I always thought of an Uncharted game where we played as him in his younger days would be great.  I have to admit, I'm not particularly fond of Sam - I'm not even sure what it is about him that didn't really click with me.  Playing Lost Legacy has made me want to re-play all the other Uncharted games on this account, great opportunity to do that too with the Remastered collection being on PS+ this month, I adore the series and getting to enjoy it all over again would be amazing.

I agree that would be interesting, but I feel it'll be unlikely since the movie in development deals with young Drake and Sully (apparently it'll be released this year, but I doubt it. They need to install a revolving door for the people who keep coming and going from the film). I liked Sam well enough, but I thought that his inclusion was a bit of an odd retcon, as he was never mentioned in earlier games. I need to play the series in this account as well, but my backlog is large enough as it is without inflating it further. It's definitely one of my favourite series. The epilogue of Uncharted 4 in which you look back at trinkets from previous games gave me a sense of warm nostalgia and remains one of my favourite moments in fiction.

Lose the Weight -  Dark Cloud

Focus on Family - htoL#NiQ - The Firefly Diary 

Update Relationship Status -

Go to the Gym - Danganronpa 1+2 Reload (47%)

Find Time For Yourself -  Queen's Quest 3

Get a Better Job - Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Finish Your Masterpiece - Okami HD

Volunteer More -  Seek Hearts

Do Better in School -  Corpse Party: Blood Drive

Make More Money - Heroes Trials

 

Have another one down.  Added Heroes Trials to the list for Make More Money.  I feel it counts for that one because there is a trophy for buying an optional item with  money and that trophy is about the only reason to care about trying to earn money in the game.  The item costs most of the money you'll earn in the course of getting the plat as well.

Ok, one more: 

The Unfinished Swan it's an interesting and unique puzzler which is relatively simplistic and playable by anyone. It's more of an experience than a game and despite its adventure aspects it's extremely linear. 

However, what it does, it does pretty well!. Several gameplay elements which get introduced as you progress, they all work well and are very easy to get to grips with. The story is akin to a fairy tale and serves to usher the story along.

I found it a relaxing game in the same vein as something like Journey (man i have to go back to Journey...someday).

 

Overall: Easy game that takes just a few hours to complete, BUT...be warned...Minimalist trophy sucks!

Do Better In School: MechaNika

The first part of the game takes place at school.

Fun game but much shorter than I expected. Like it's predecessor, Agatha Knife, it was loaded with pop culture references and humor. Easy, quick plat but worth a play.

 

[Fnee2000]

Finished off another game today. Finished South Park : The Stick of Truth to meet the Do Better in School category. I forgot how horribly optimized the PS3 version was. Had a lot of frame fate issues when I changed screens and the game saved. It could also be a problem with the digital version I played with. I originally had Life is Strange for the category, but this game fit too, so I am using South Park Elementary as the school you do quests inside.

Make More Money - Mafia 3 

 

The good news? I finished Mafia 3, so my small list is now almost complete. Will need to add a bit more to it if I want a badge, though. The bad? Fucking mahjong.. Kinda thought I had the hang of it after watching an almost hour long video, and winning a game. Not much longer, and I won my second. This time with a Haneman. Something said to be "rather unlikely" you get naturally by the mahjong guide writer for this site. So, I was feeling pretty good about my chances right about then. But then I went an hour and a half without winning again... 

 

So, I don't know. I'll probably be back at it tomorrow, and see if my luck or skill improves. So close to 100% in-game completion, but this and fishing RNG could be a problem.

[MissShake]

I have my first plat for the event in Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Roses~! I like... Half enjoyed myself. I read all of Guardian of Rebirth, but I knew that Future Blessings was just fanservice so I just skipped through that. It felt like a really long otome, not sure why.

[ArtikSkarab]

Well, 2 weeks in and I was able to complete 4 categories.

 

Lose the Weight: One Piece: Burning Blood (Teach aka Blackbeard)

 

I was dissapointed by this game. While the quality of Namco 3d fighters is not consistant, between the highs of Naruto and the lows of Saint Seiya, they were at least consistant with great story modes that showed you a lot of the stories. But this game is comprised entirely of the Paramount War arc from 4 characters point of view. Considering the amount of stories that One Piece has, it feels really shallow to only talk about 1 arc. Also, the fighting system didn't feel good; it's really limited in terms of movement and combo potential. At least, it was pretty short with minimal grinding.

 

Volunteer More: Assassin's Creed: Rogue Remastered (Assassin Interceptions & Legendary Battles)

 

While it's extremely apparent that this was just reuising the engine of Black Flag to put out a final game on the older generations while Unity was released on newer consoles, I really enjoyed my time through. It feels weird to go back to an older style AC game after going through Origins and starting Odyssey, but it felt almost nostalgic in a way. The story premise is extremely interesting; we finally get to see the Templar's side of the coin. Unfortunately, there isn't enough content to satisfy my expectations. The defection to the Templars could have taken a bit longer and there isn't enough debate on Shay's actions. Does he feel regret, rage or apathy? There just isn't enough story to really dig deep.

 

Make More Money: Poker Night at the Inventory 2 ✅ (Trophy for 1 million $ in winnings)

 

As a poker game, I can't really say anything; it's poker and it plays fine. The interesting part are the characters present: Brock Samson, Claptrap, Ash Williams, Sam & Max and Glados. There's pretty well written quips for each character and a decent variety of character interactions, but it does repeat after a while. Overall, it was a fun time.

 

Update Relationship Status: The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 (PS3) (The relationship between Ivo and Nate)

 

I have really conflicted feelings about this game. In the positive department, it's pretty quirky, has pretty good set pieces and dosen't have that much moon logic. On the other hand, we're thrown into an established universe without backstory or recaps to explain people and their connections. Especially since the 1st game was PC-only and all of the main characters have baggage from their first adventure. It's still a fun time to go through... with a walkthrough.

[MissShake]

I'm gonna edit my list a bit since I think that work/school is gonna take up time, and I highly doubt I can plat games like Harvest Moon in a short time frame lol. Here are my edits:

 

Focus on Family - What Remains of Edith Finch

Go to the Gym - Guilty Gear

 

My Saints Row IV save had the glitch that won't let me fully upgrade my boss, so that might take longer than I want. I figure the original Guilty Gear is worth a try~
