Gaming By Numbers 2020 (Event Ended, Badges Dispersed)

[Gretchen27]

Completed:

 

3 - (6453) Batman: The Enemy Within 

4 - (3634) Batman: Arkham Knight 

 

Got my second game done. Not one of Telltale's better efforts. The action sequences were still good, but the story didn't hold my interest until the end of episode three. I think that'll be the last of the superhero games for now. Currently playing the lovely, fairytale Child of Light (5).

I was able to polish off one of the games on my list while powering through TLOU2 this weekend. Still have a few options for most numbers as I'm not sure what to actually play yet. I'm pretty torn as most games I do want to play fall the same numbers (5 and 6 mostly). If I end up completing Uncharted Crushing mode for this challenge, it'll be my longest platinum, being over a decade to achieve.

Update #2! I didn't expect to finish this game, but I gave the speedrun trophy for Hohokum a shot, and in 3 tries I'd completed the game in 56 minutes!

Current Progress:

2- NCAA Football 11

7- Hohokum

 

2 down, 8 to go!

I completed my first game Tachyon Project and it falls on the number 2 category. 

 

(4212) - Tachyon Project

 

I will paste my "review" if you want to call it that here, I wrote it yesterday while trying to convince other people to try this game. 

 

"I was surprised by this game. It is a twin stick shooter were you control a little space ship and have to survive multiple waves of enemies.

 

The plot is nothing to bring home about, it goes around a hacker who created a bot to infiltrate some top government building. To be honest I didn't pay much attention to it since it didn't catch my eye, it's nice that it's there and is part of the game but overall it doesn't have an impact on the experience.

But once the gameplay starts the game shines. You start with 3 weapons (1 primary and 2 secondary which are an automatic rifle and 2 explosives, respectively), at the end of each level you unlock new weapons and if you beat the highscore set for the level you are playing you unlock a slightly better weapon.

 

The game runs really smooth, I believe it's 60 fps, and the ship feels good to control, if you turn the ship turns immediately there's nothing of that "I have to slow down to move to the opposite direction". 

 

Also bringing back the weapons they are all do their job, some better than the others, and you can create nice combinations with them and see what suits your playstyle, I prefer to play with the Machine Gun and both explosives but other might like to play with Missiles as primary with Slow Down time and Turret as secondary. You can create loads of combinations and every one of them brings something new to the table.

 

If you got interest in the game and want to see some gameplay on it check this gameplay:

I know it isn't well written, english isn't my main language, but I had to spread the word about this game, it is the definition of "hidden gem"

0 - A Summer with the Shiba Inu

6 - Ratchet and Clank

9 - Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom

 

Third game done. I was going to go for Maneater for #7 next but the controls are so bad. I don't know if I want it to be my next game or look for something else.

UPDATE #2:
Five down and I am swapping two more games out from my preliminary list. Since I completed Murasaki Baby yesterday, that is taking over my #5 slot. I also am probably going to finish Q.U.B.E. Director's Cut before I go to bed today so I figured that would take over slot #8. I can't believe I am more than halfway done in the first week.

Sounds like an interesting idea. I will edit this post for making a list. Btw @eigen-space shouldn't the date say 2020 not 2019 next to the stopwatch links.

 

EDIT:

I am solely focused on doing PS3 games in this event with the PS5 coming out soon. It's time I worked on my large library for the PS3 which I tend to neglect. I tried to pick 5 games which I've wanted to play for a while and 5 games that I've never played before that I have low expectations for. I want to use 10 games that haven't been started yet but I'm seriously struggling for a 7 so I put Kingdom Hearts there for now which is on 91% completion (I need one more playthrough on critical mode). I may buy something to replace this but I am unsure what. Any recommendations for 7 are welcome, just do it in PM so you don't flood the thread.

 

EDIT: I've been looking at The Raven for 7. Looks like a cool point and click adventure which is always a relaxing time.

 

EDIT: Couldn't find a decent deal for The Raven so I'll stick with Kingdom Hearts despite my urge to have 10 games that haven't been started. Decided to switch Bayonetta for Master Reboot due to time management.

 

EDIT: I already completed Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon and Secret of Monkey Island since July 1st (As I misread that the event starts on July 1st instead of July 15th so I added them in instead of both Zone of the Enders (1 and 2) games at 8 and 9. Also started Monkey Island 2.0 which I will add in at number 6 instead of Bound in Blood. Also replaced Kingdom Hearts with Arkedo Series 01 - Jump! So now I have 10 games which haven't been started.

 

0 - The Bureau: XCOM Declassified - Bought this digitally. Love the XCOM series and wanted to play this for a while despite the very different concept/gameplay.

1 - Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones - Bought this digitally. Not a huge fan of the franchise but I've already played the first and second of the collection.

2 - Mafia II - Bought this on hard copy. Been wanting to play this for a while but couldn't get my hands on the DLC until recently.

3 - Steins;Gate - Got this for free on PS Plus. I'm not a fan of novels or anime so I'm probably going to hate this but I want to broaden my horizons.

4 - Bayonetta Master Reboot - Got this for free on PS Plus. I have no idea what this is so I have no expectations. Hopefully I'll enjoy it.

5 - Alpha Protocol - Bought this on hard copy. I've played this before on my old account. I don't I enjoyed this one too much but I can't remember much of it.

6 - Bound by Flame Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge - My girlfriend owns this. I love point-and-click games and was also looking forward to playing this sequel.

7 - Kingdom Hearts Arkedo Series - 01 Jump! - Got this free on PS Plus. No expectations of this as I'm not a huge fan of indie games but we'll see.

8 - Zone of the Enders HD Edition Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon - This was a gift for me on my birthday. Never played PS1 spyro (only PS2 spyro) so this will be new but still nostalgic for me.

9 - Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner HD Edition The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition - My girlfriend owns this. I love point-and-click games and it's really fun looking game.

 

(Weekly Update #1)

 

So far I've completed 2 games since the event started. Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon is enjoyable and satisfying to play with some minor control flaws. The Secret of Monkey Island was a fun little comical point-and-click adventure with some very nostalgic charm to it. Currently playing Monkey Island 2 now and finding it just as charming and hilarious.

9. Wreckfest

 

It wasn't on my original list, and I didn't read the rules well enough it seems. After 7 months and three playthroughs, this plat is finally mine. One of the best games I've ever played in my life, and I'm sad I can't play it anymore. The fourth one will come out later this year in the western market, and you bet I'll get it first day. I should be in for a couple more completions soon.

 

EDIT: And Wreckfest is done now too. I believe it started out as a pc demo for just crashing cars, but the game was, well dumb fun. All those noobs in racing games who deliberately take people out should play this.

Sorry but Minecraft doesn't count as rule #2 says:

 

Your game will count so long as you get 100% of the base game between the event start and end dates. If your game has a platinum, this means getting the platinum is necessary, but you do not need to complete any associated DLC. Similarly, for a game that has no platinum, you will only need to complete the base game trophies (example: Little Nightmares has several DLC packs-- only the 13 base game trophies need to be completed

This seems like a cool event. I would like to join.

I don't have a list yet but I plan to make one soon.

Thanks, I mixed up rule 2 and 3 and thought as long it wasn't 100% they were possible to complete

I got tempted by the £1.99 price for Seasons After Fall and it was well worth it. It's got a slight Okami feel to it (I've played the Wii one, can't comment on PS4). You change the seasons to affect the environment and access new areas. Clever concept, fun platforming with some testing puzzles. Looks pretty to.

I have to say TWD S2 was good enough to persuade me to play the other 3 in the future, nice. 

I've happily rediscovered Stick it to the Man so that should be #7. Having a fab time with that at the mo.

It's great to get lots of decent varied game ideas from you all, really enjoying them! Hope everyone's all good.
