For Battlefront II, reaching level 50 in multiplayer is a lot easier now because wednesday's are now worth triple xp and weekend's are double xp.

We have a good fellow here, I see! Thanks for the info my mate, I was waiting until December to start this game but maybe I can make a few adjustments to this.

 

Do you know how long this would take place?

"Update" 1:

So, I haven't worked on any of the games from my list so far because I was stuck on the hard part of the White Palace in Hollow Knight for the last four weeks. I FINALLY got past it and beating the rest of the game was a breeze but it wasn't on my list because it's completion was too high. ?

 

That being said, I am posting to add more games to my list because that seems reasonable even though I haven't made any progress on any of the games already on it. ?

 

1. Borderlands 3 - 21%

2. Final Fantasy XV - 13%

3. Ratchet & Clank - 11%

4. Need for Speed Payback - 9%

5. Dragon Age: Origins - 6%

6. Bound by Flame (PS3) - 6%

7. Unravel - 1%

8. The Last of Us Remastered - 0%

9. Moss - 0%

10. Lifeless Planet - 0%

11. MediEvil - 0%

12. Observation - 0%

Aight ya'll my new job has been wracking my gaming time somewhat, so Ive settled on just doing 1weekly update.

It also will help(hopfully) make my posts more intresting overall.

Cus trying to not come off repetitive by posting nearly everyday is beyond my eng skillset. lol

Will call this Weekly Log 5 due to it being the 5th week of the challenge.

Ok cool, lets talk backlog then...

 

Weekly Log 005:

 

UMvC3-

Cleared Morgin's Missions 1-9

and Iron Man's 1-7.

I almost twice got Morgins 10th mission.

But wasnt really paying attenion like I should have and wiffed the Air H...both times?

As for Iron man I kinda was just getting too tried at that point.

But they dont seem too bad so far(still not easy)

I do plan on going for all 480missions in the end(not gonna do the 20 dlc mission strat that lets you skip some hard 10th missions)

Just feels better to earn it the way most ppl probbly did, that and I like pain, epically in my fingers. ?

 

Days Gone-

On my off day today I put in a meaty session.

And mades lots of progress as a result.

Alot happened since my last update, so Ill just cover some footnotes to express myself quicker.

 

-Im finding the plot slighty more enganging since I made it to the 2nd half(south region of the map)

the characters in this part of the story add more and Decon's characer arc and his relationship with a cirten character is flowing nicely along.

The main Villain that we have here is pretty whatever tho, kind of just a standard god broght all this apon us due to sin and we must repent and Ill leads us to salvation arch type. Very by the number villan here(like alot of the game tbh)

You most likely know were this is going.

 

-Gameplay hasnt really changed sadly. its still mosty just go here and kill freakers or humans > watch cutsnenes.

The main misdions hardly have any real variety.

The side missions are a little better but they in them selves are quite limted too.

I did face my 1dt horde tonight and it was simply awesome.

It was like a seqence out of World War Z.

Being chased by hundards of zombies at once.

As you flee for your life while having to swap from moving around your envoriment to turning around to manage thier numbers and tearing down the horde.

Its really fun planing your route, setting up your traps or using the varoius gimicks each horde fight contains.

 

Or you can just do what I do and just wing it the whole time while kitting them. lol

Overall thier fun and easily the hightlight of the game(atm)

 

Ok thats all for now yo, see ya'll next week. ✌

As in how long they plan to do this?
Indefinitely. Theres no more content patches coming (Sad times) so they're always putting double XP weekends and Triple on Wednesdays.

 

If you reallyyyyyyy want to boost your level up (I love the game, so im getting it naturally) you can spam Co-Op modes and just get 100s of kills a game, takes about 10-12mins a game and you can jump like 30-40 levels in one day grinding.

Here's the update I've promised on Sunday:

Last year my birthday platinum was a double stack for A Winter's Daydream, but this year:

 

Mad Max 37% -> 100%

I've defused the final mine this morning before work and unlocked my five missing trophies for Mad Max.

I'm a bit proud of myself tbh, when the server shutdown was made public I decided to buy the game and a month later I'm done with a game that's in the  top tier for gltiches in the AAA games category.

 

And that's sad, because overall I'd rate it a 7 out of 10.

The story was amazing, as soon as I was done with the scrap crews challenge and could actually play the game I've really started getting into the story. I'm talking about the ending, so avoid the spoiler if you're still playing  But I'm deducting a point for how they handled the end with the free play integration after the story was completed.

Spoiler

I was hooked when Max had to get Glory out of the Underdome and bring her back to her mother. I was mad (hehe) that Chumbucket took the car away, but I was also worried about getting Glory back in one piece in a Buzzard vehicle.

The confrontation with Chumbucket and Stank Gum - getting the news from that SOB that Scrotus is currently killing what I've worked so hard for... I drove like I was trying to break some of Lewis Hamiltons records from Chumbuckets hideout to the Deep Friah stronghold all while Chumbucket was begging for forgiveness. (I try to avoid fast travel during story missions in case there's some dialogue on the way).

 

The reason why I'm deducting a point here is, because I don't like how they handled the ending and the free play after the story. I'm not a fan of just reviving a fallen character again, that's just a lazy way to integrate it. It's on the same level as games jumping to a point before you've killed the final boss. Not cool imo.

 

The second point is deducted for the collectibles ... sure they're marked on the map but there's sooooooooo many. I'm a big fan for collectibles, rewarding me as a player to search trough every corner of the map, but in Mad Max it reached the point where it felt more like punishment than enjoyment. Going into any scavenging location just for a single piece of scrap, that's not rewarding, that's having a camp for the sake of not having an empty space on the map there.

 

I'm also deducting half a point for the Griffa tokens and challenges. Again, there's either too many challenges and tokens to get, or not enough Griffa upgrades to buy. I was finishing the game with a Road Legend (or Warrior, I forgot how it's actually called) level of 190. That's 180 more than needed. You can max (hehe again) out Max before even reaching the first stronghold. There wasn't really a balance between challenges and rewards.

 

And the last half of a point is because of the glitches. Thankfully I haven't encountered game / trophy breaking ones during my time playing the game, but I was checking my spreadsheet after every camp I've cleared, location I've looted, Insignia I've shot. That's just not fun. I was lucky during my run, like unbelievably lucky. I've died at least ten times while looting a scavening location, mostly because gravity is still the hardest boss in every game. 

 

I am still unsure what to do next, I'm thinking Heavy Rain, but I don't want to waste my Summer of Play game in case there's a fourth round coming that's not multiplayer focused like the last one.

Maybe Dying Light, but that's another grind festival. And my weekend project with @Fnee2000

You'll have to wait for my next update for that 

 

Found a game, and I'm using a swap.

Swap 1 / 2

Beyond Two Souls -> Nexomon Extinction (PS4 - EU) - 0%

Time for another update.

 

SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom-7=11%

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim 

Afrika

Bastion

Bully

Cat Quest II

Dragon Quest Builders 2

Ghost of Tsushima

Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland

The Messenger

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir

Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure

Slime Rancher
Void Terrarium

 

Swaps: 1/5

 

Decided to play another level of SpongeBob, both for fun and to also make sure my level number was accurate on PS4. Only worked temporarily, but figuring it will be correct soon.  Keep changing my mind on #3,000...but I'm sure I'll make it a good one in the end.  

[neospoon]

Update #3  | Trophies earned: 28/161 | Swaps used: 1/5 |
 

1. God of War - 35/37 - 11% > 17% > 91%
2. The Hong Kong Massacre 24% > 30% - 10/20 > Ghost of Tsushima - 0/52 - 0%
3. Until Dawn - 4/19 - 14%
4. Doom  17/55 - 21%
5. The Last of Us Part II - 2/28 - 2%

 

God of War (91% 35/37)
No progress on God of War this week. I think I know what the problem is with me not being able to kill the Valkyrie Queen, I was way too aggresive on the attack and didn't think about my defense at all. That's probably why she kept kicking my butt. I'll give it a couple more tries over the weekend and see if I can find a good strategy that works for me. Since I wasn't playing God of War, I decided to start on Mafia, which was not a game on my list for the challenge. I did manage to get the Platinum and enjoyed the game for what it was. Nothing special or anything we haven't seen already. Classic mode gave me a little headache at some points but eventually I got through it. 

 

The Hong Kong Massacre 24% > 30% - 10/20  > Ghost of Tsushima (0% 0/52)

I've decided to swap out The Hong Kong Massacre for Ghost of Tsushima. Not because I don't like it. Reason is, I want to make Ghost of Tsushima my 200th platinum.

I still need to finish 3 more games, but I just wanted to put it on the list already! Also I'm not sure if any of the games on the list will be the ones I get as my 197/199 platinums but we'll see. I'll report back after the weekend. 

 

Happy hunting everyone!

Update #7

 

What's going on baby?

 Finally knocked out Spec Ops: The Line a solid year and a few months after first starting it. I wouldn't say the gameplay is amazing but the story is compelling enough and I can at least understand the hype around it. FUBAR difficulty wasn't so bad compared to any COD game I've played but just with more cheap almost insta-kill moments that felt more luck based than anything. There's more mechanically tight cover shooters out there but Spec Ops is worth playing if you haven't picked it up. I might have been more into the story if I haven't had it spoiled by a million "most shocking video game twist!" videos over the years.

 

Also finished War of The Monsters which I was very excited to see receive a facelift on PS4, I played the everloving hell out of that game as a kid on the PS2 and it was a joy to return to it for a little bit. 

 

Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star is definitely cute and all but lacks the "depth" of the first game and feels more like DLC than anything. Not bad but underwhelming and minimal interaction had me fast forwarding through a good chunk of it.

Back into a better rhythm, I finished Dead or School and Shenmue 1 and 2. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Dead or School I originally saw the premise and got it as a bit of a meme for stuff going on (cause who really thinks of going to school in the apocalypse?) The gameplay was fun and the whole school thing turned out to be a good bit of inspiration for hope in a better future for these characters. Also, I personally enjoy the fact that the main character is stubborn in her convictions but kinda dumb about other things like "I don't understand these big science words so I'm gonna press this button and deal with whatever happens." I just don't see that many girls MC's with that kind of Shonen protagonist attitude is fun.

 

When it comes to Shenmue I feel like my feelings for it flip flop a lot like I can appreciate the atmosphere and the ambition of the game in all the details or the world especially for when it was made, The combat is enjoyable and I appreciated not being given a quest marker and having to rely on the information given, The voice acting even grew on me after a while. but then on the other side, I get frustrated when it comes to the snail's pace the game has I don't mind taking my time in games I usually prefer to but I want it to be my choice and not have it forced upon me. also, there tends to be a pattern of things either not being explained at all or over-explained with no real middle ground. I also tend to enjoy the side characters like Ren (Best Dude) much more than Ryo himself. I just feel mixed when it comes to this game series I have friends that really liked it so I wanted to give it an honest shot.

1. Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki

2. Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV (releases 10/27 in NA) 0 out of 53 trophies

3. Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes (57%) 40 out of 55 trophies

4. Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (11%) 8 out of 38 trophies

5. Marenian Tavern Story (0%) 0 out of 50 trophies

6. Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk (0%) 0 out of 58 trophies

7. Alphadia Genesis (91%) 32 out of 34 trophies

8. Liege Dragon (0%) 0 out of 34 trophies

9. Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition (0%) 0 out of 15 trophies

 

106 out of 363 trophies earned.  1 out of 9 games completed

1/5 swaps

 

So instead of starting up Rune Factory again I decided instead to start Alphadia Genesis thinking I could knock it out in a couple of days.  Wow, was I really mistaken because this is the hardest Kemco plat I've done so far solely for the very annoying treasure chest trophy.  Most Kemco games that have trophies like that don't require getting all chests, just a majority.  The exception is Revenant Saga (and I think Asdivine Dios also, but that may have just had less leeway).  However, unlike Revenant Saga and pretty much every other game like it, there is absolutely no way to confirm if you got all the chests in an area.  The other games have an item or ability that tells you if you got all the chests on the floor you're currently on, so at least you can quickly narrow down locations for missed chests since it's very easy to not see ones in hidden passages.  On top of that, Alphadia Genesis has the hardest to see hidden passages that I've seen in the games.  I know this game is one of their older ones, but they could have easily done it like their other games and given a bit of leeway on the trophy.  Because it's been such a pain in the butt to locate the 8 chests I was still missing, I decided to just go ahead and start another playthrough with a treasure listing I found on RPG Insanity and check them off as I go instead.  Then to boot, the game itself was a pretty bland Kemco title.  I don't expect a ton out of the games, but they usually have good character interactions that make for a fun story, this one just didn't really draw me in like the others.

 

Anyway, decided to also add a couple of other games.  Grabbed Liege Dragon and hope that will make up for my disappointment with Alphadia Genesis.  Also decided to add Ara Fell, which while not a Kemco RPG, it has a similar vibe with the old school graphics style and it's also supposed to be pretty short.

[gladiatorrrrrrr]

another Friday , another update.

 

Vampyr

I am almost at the end of the game. Last parts were difficult since on the 'not even once' run you cannot embrace any citizens and hence you are running low on XP and leveling up. So in essence I am 8 - 10 levels below the enemies I am facing. One-on-on it is easy but when you are surrounded, it is a different ball game. Really enjoy the story but do hate the loading times. Hope to finish the game this weekend.

 

Salt and Sanctuary

Oh boy! Considering this game is build by a 2 men studio, it is amazing. I did lost my way.... again......really, I should draw a kind of map for myself. Anyway, i found my way, defeated a lot of bosses, I mean a lot of bosses until I came to final one which did kick my ass a couple of times. But with these game you just need to read the attacks and start anticipating on it, just takes a couple of tries. Got now the platinum after 2 years and 7 months ?

 

Swap time:

Last week I removed Mercenary Kings, I decided to swap it with AC Chronicles for the PSVita. After reading all the comments on double and even triple XP on Star Wars BF II, I decided to add that one too.

 

Current status:

 

With FIFA 21release today I am unsure if I will make a lot of progress the coming week......

 

Happy trophy hunting!

I was lucky that I stumbled onto that same treasure chest guide early, I would have missed a bunch for sure. Alphadia took me almost 4 days to finish when I thought I'd be able to run through it in 1 or 2. Which still isn't too bad, but way longer than I was expecting for a "quick" platinum.

Yeah, I also admit it really felt quite drawn out compared to other Kemco titles.  In most the story feels like just the right length, this one felt a bit too long.  Very much hoping Liege Dragon will do a better job scratching the itch for a nice fun, quick game.  It seems to be a much newer title, as in it was actually released in 2020 rather than just ported to PS4 in 2020 and their newer titles have been pretty good.

It's Saturday and it's cold, grey and windy outside so it's my perfect time for some weekend gaming! It's also a good time for an update with a double-whammy of platinums - #155 Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning and #156 Life is Strange 2. With Marvel's Avengers becoming more of an ongoing project and the fact that the rest of my games aren't out for a couple of weeks, i'm going to add a new game to the list - Odin Sphere Leifthrasir - I wanted to play this game since it's original release on the PS2 back in 2007, but never got around to it. Really looking forward to this!

1.  Life is Strange 2 
2.  Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning 
3. Marvel’s Avengers: 67% > 73%
4. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
5. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope
6. Watch Dogs: Legion
7. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
8. Cyberpunk 2077

========

Life is Strange 2

 

I enjoyed this one from start to finish and I thought the way each brother changed and grew as you move through episodes was really cool. I also liked how your choices influenced the development of your little brother, how he handled situations and how he managed his superpower. Which basically meant that every choice i made had to be weighed carefully and to really think how it might affect Daniel long and short term. I also found this game to be way way more traumatic (and at points a bit controversial in it's themes) than the previous title and there were some pretty shocking moments in it throughout. 

 

The platinum was pretty easy and the collectible mode they have made the collectible trophies a breeze. I think pretty much any narrative game like this should have that mode. It's a benchmark mechanic in my opinion. It basically segments each episode and tags whether a collectible is in that part or not. Then you can just select a segment with a collectible tagged in it, play the segment until you have it, then back out and move do a different segment. And it saves independently, so you don't need to finish out the whole episode for the collectible count to stick.

 

========

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning

 

The updated title makes no sense, but it was a blast to return to this from a nostalgia perspective. This game is very dated by today's standards and after putting nearly 100 hours into it, I honestly I don't think this is a remaster at all. Visually it has had some polish with things like spell effects and lighting, but it also contains pretty much all of the bugs I experienced when I first played it back on PS3. The game can get a little bit repetitive towards the last 10 or so hours. I ended the game with about 30 side missions uncompleted, so if you are looking for longevity, you could probably go full competionist, way beyond what the trophy list asks of you, in about 130 -150 hours. I'm putting this on the shelf now until the DLC they are making releases next year.

 

Also, is that not super weird? Developing DLC for a game that came out around 8 years ago which you pretty much re-released as an upscaled port?

 

=======

 

That's it for my updates! I'm going to spend my weekend diving into Odin Sphere, drinking coffee and watching a new horror show on Netflix called The Haunting of Bly Manor. Have a good one everyone, look after yourselves and stay safe

Mini update 10/10/2020:

 

I'm swapping out Hotshot Racing for Super Weekend Mode (Vita). This is my third swap.

 

Super Weekend Mode is one of those cheap, easy Ratalaika games. I already got the plat for the PS4 version during the Trophy Hunting Day event and it took all of 20 minutes. So yeah, it's one of those. 

 

I'm using this as a chance to catch up a little since Shadow Warrior is taking me longer than I thought. Heroic Mode is no joke. I'm finally about halfway through, but it's been pretty rough on my hands. Plus, the two gold trophies in Hotshot are still glitched, and I haven't been able to find any online races either. I also don't think the game is going to get much post-launch support since the numbers on this site and Gamstat seem pretty dire. Lesson learned about using impulse buys for backlog challenges.

 

So I'll take the easy plat, finish up the hard plat before my full update tomorrow, and get ready for something new next week. I'll have my updated game list in tomorrow's post

Hi everyone. Completed 13 Sentinels this week. Beautiful Vanillaware game. Doesn't have the same lasting impact that Odin Sphere had on me, but great story telling and fun tactical mecha combat  I've been playing a few side games to bump up my completion percentage and get ready for inevitable server death of the vita  This week I'll try a little more Cod or Trails and maybe snag an easier plat. I might add a few more games to my list as I'm 6/17.

Update 1:

 

Hey everyone! I'm way late on my first update, but here it is. It might be a lengthy post since this is my first update since the start of the challenge.

 

Color Coding:

 

Green: Completed

Yellow: In Progress

Black: No Change

Red: Newly Added

 

1) Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded (100%) - 9/1/2020 - Quick and easy 100% that just requires you to watch cutscenes. As a huge KH fan this was pretty enjoyable.

2) Hello Neighbor (100%) - 9/5/2020 - Not too hard of a 100%, had a few hiccups with stuff glitching through the floor but abusing the save slots helped out a great deal.

3) Dark Cloud (100%) - 9/12/2020 - Really fun game that I never got to play on the original PS2 release. The initial difficulty scared me away at first, but after you get the hang of the combat it is a really enjoyable game.

4) Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishment (100%) - 9/6/2020 - Pretty enjoyable point and click esque detective game. I tried to do as much as possible without following the walkthrough, but really didn't want to miss any of those chapter 5 deductions that would have required an additional playthrough of the chapter.

5) The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan (100%) - 10/11/2020 (Just Completed Today) - This was an enjoyable game that didn't quite live up to Until Dawn, but was still fun to play. Especially getting a friend to do the shared story playthrough was really fun. I like the continuity Supermassive is going for with the Dark Pictures Anthology. Excited for Little Hope coming out later this month!

6) Psychonauts (100%) - 10/2/2020 - Definitely a fun and creative platformer, but the sheer amount of collectibles was initially overwhelming. Especially Milla's Dance Party where the collectibles were nearly invisible during some of the sections. Glad I stuck through though because the story is great and goes into some serious topics that I did not expect.

7) Resident Evil 2 (41%)

8) Moonlighter (1%)

9) Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint (1%)

10) Rime (100%) - 10/10/2020 - The gameplay was fine, but the story was great. All in all was an enjoyable experience that won't take too long to get the platinum.

11) Criminal Girls: Invite Only (1%)

12) Amnesia: memories (1%)

13) Secret of Mana (1%)

14) World of Final Fantasy (2%)

15) Code: Realize Guardian of Rebirth (2%)

16) Ether One (3%)

17) Dark Arcana: The Carnival (3%)

18) God of War: Ascension (4%)

19) Mass Effect Andromeda (100%) - 9/26/2020 - I initially stayed away from this game when I heard how awful it was, but I actually enjoyed my time with it. It isn't as great as the original trilogy in my opinion, but it was still a fun game that had some moments of sincerity in the story telling. I did run into a number of bugs that required me to restart the game, but I would still recommend the game to any Mass Effect fan.

20) Shenmue (4%)

21) Mad Max (13%)

22) Skyrim (8%)

 

I wanted to add in a couple games that I need to work on. Mad Max because of the server shutdown at the end of the month will require that I at least get the scrap crew challenges out of the way. Skyrim because in a month from now will mark the 9th anniversary of the game and would like to get the platinum on that date to commemorate the occasion.

 

That's it for my first post. I hope to start on weekly schedule now that I have my first update out of the way. Happy hunting everyone!

One update because I occasionally work on this event as well

1. Trine : Enchanted Edition - 12%

2. Diablo III : Reaper of Souls - 3%

3. Naruto : Ultimate Ninja Storm - 3%

4. One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 - 11% -> 19%->34%->91%

5. Shadow of the Colossus - 2%

6.Far Cry Primal - 2% 

7.Middle-earth : Shadow of Mordor (PS3)- 8%

8.BioShock Infinite(PS3) - 1%

 

One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 - One. More. Trophy. One more BLASTED trophy left in this game, which unfortunately means levelling the rest of the stupid characters (45 I believe )to crew level 5. Which ALSO means even more grinding. Because Luffy needs all the nakamas that he can get.

WHY? Why do I have to upgrade EVERY single sucker to level 5? Even the fodder ones, like Morgan or Alvida or idk some schmuck who appeared for 1 small arc and then disappeared for good. This is One Piece of Shit! Everything would have been great and I would have been content with this game if not for THIS PARTICULAR GRIND ASS GAME.
Welp, I will continue abusing blind man Fujitora into spamming those shitty meteors. 

The next update will be with the platinum update. God I never got so mad on a game before  

(I swear I did some crazy games that weren't as awful as this one)

Update #4 

 

Nexomon: Extinction 0% -> 50% (35 / 57 trophies)

Well ... I've played a lot of Not Pokémon Pokémon this weekend. Maybe a bit too much.

I think it's worth the 20 bucks I've paid for the game, but it's on the edge. 30 would be to expensive in my opinion.

It's a cheap alternative to newer Pokémon games, looks awesome the monster design is funny and I like the names. There's a ghost type scarecrow called Prankcrow in the game. Or a evolution line with Baloompa and Blimpapa.

 

The story is as expected, childish and not the best. You're a tamer in the guild, doing missions, working your way up, until you find out that your grandmaster is behind all the evil things that are happening with dragons and tyrants.

The main character is a decendant from an ancient being and that's why he/she is the only person who can stop all of this. 

There's some difficulty spikes that requiere some grinding in the wild, at least for me, but I think that's not a bad thing.

 

But who cares about the story, it's about collecting and training up your not pokémon collection, fighting with them. 

When fighting a wild nexomon you can either do the normal things, like attack, use an item, switch your nexomon or flee. Or you can feed and try to capture it.

Each nexomon likes different kind of foods, increasing your capture chance by 10% - 40% depending on your choice. Then there's a different nexotrap for each type in the game increasing the capture chance by another 35% I think. There's also normal Nexotraps with a 15% capture chance and the golden nexotraps with 100% chance. You get a masterball for every other quest in the game. And then there`s a QTE while capturing that increases the chance by another 5% if you successfully complet it.

You can see your exact capture chance on screen when choosing the nexotrap, sometimes it's cool, but it's frustrating if a 90% capture chance fails.

 

The combat system is a pain for longer routes, they use a stamina system instead of costing pp every time an attack is used, each attack costs 5 - 50 stamina. 

You can choose to wait a turn in combat, increasing your stamina by 15. If you try attacking with a tired nexomon it only regenerates 10 points.

Some fights are challenging not because your opponent is tough, but because your team member with the type advantage can't join the fight.

 

Trophies earned: 

My First Nexomon / Learning the Ropes / Bronze Tamer / Silver Tamer / Gold Tamer / My First Day at Work / So Predictable / Welcome Back / Omnicron's Legacy / Renegade Jin / Renegade Lydia / Renegade Atlanta / Renegade Logan / Renegade Celine / I Hate My Job / Are We The Baddies? / Element of Fire / Element of Wind / Element of Water / Element of Thunder / Element of Earth / Element of Life / Downfall / A Dozen Down / You're a Celebtrity / Never Forget / Anger Management / Power of Science / Beam Me Up, Coco! / Vanity Issues / Full Team / Own 30 Nexomon / Own 60 Nexomon / Own 90 Nexomon (all )

No update from me again this week BUT I finally managed to get that platinum on MKX that I had on my list 2 challenges ago so pleased with that!!!

 

All I had to do was the 10 hit kombos and I doubted my ability to do it legit so I spent days waiting for the juggle modifier in the tower. Turns out i'm better than I thought and blasted it out last night no problem.

 

Time to crack on with the list!!!
