@CryOn

Messiah will not come can be cheesed. 4-5/10 difficulty and a 10h completion for all trophies on psnprofile.

Already 4 completion on Trueachievements and all under 9 hours.

I tried cheesing it but it’s still too difficult lol

[low187]

Really enjoyed VLR’s story

Completion #116

This was not fun… One of the most drawn out, in every way, games I’ve ever played. Not only was everything weird (weird can be good) but it felt very made-up-as-we-go-along-smoking-this-joint in a lot of ways. Some parts where neat, but they drowned in the molasses of painful misery that made up the rest.

I almost quit, that says a lot.

[saintsflow20]

Finished Wo Long. Talked about it a bit here

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty |OT| R̶o̶m̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ Chaos Of The Three Kingdoms

[wolong1000] 1000G’d the game. Chewed through it pretty quick as anyone following me in this thread could tell lol, again I found it pretty easy. Overall one of favorite day 1 GP games from a big publisher. Game isn’t as good as Nioh, it’s like a “lite” version of it I’d say, but I had fun with it and found it addicting. I basically stopped playing everything else I was playing to keep playing this.

The achievements were thankfully nothing major. Only annoying ones were to get all the collectables because the game doesn’t track them, but I was able to run through every mission in like 2 hours thanks to having endgame gear to grab everything I missed.

Usually Team Ninja adds in some dreadful achievements with DLC though…

[Thanathorn]

Completion #82: Guilty Gear Strive

Beautiful game with an extremely easy achievement list bar just 1 achievement which is extremely difficult even with cheese methods it could still require a lot of patience.

This is exactly how I felt and was puzzled to why it’s so well regarded. It just didn’t make any sense to me and made me feel stupid. Even after watching a YouTube video essay on it I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. I jumped in thinking It would be a quick fun completion with a good story. Just wasn’t my jam at all.

I think the problem is that it’s actually a game with episodes which released every few months or even years. First act released in 2013 and the last in 2020.

If you would review each episodes on its own, it’s not that long, but because it’s the “'complete” edition you can feel that the pacing, story and quality is not constant throughout the game.

The votes are in and Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is our Gamepass game of the month for March!

Playing a chapter every other year might have helped with the boredom, but that must have made it even less coherent and harder to follow. Nah, I think this is a good idea very poorly executed. There is a core in there which could have been something great, but nah.

Looking at the scores this might be the furthest I’ve ever been from critics.

I haven’t gong through KRZ so I can’t speak to that, but it sounds like you’re experiencing the exact same thing I did when I played Undertale. Everyone raved about it for years talking about how amazing it was and how it was one of the best indie titles ever, so I played it and…absolutely hated it.

It’s games like that that remind me that even if everyone says something is good that absolutely does not mean it’s actually good.

Yeah my feelings were similar. Judging by reviews I thought I would really like it. I was intrigued by some aspects of the story, but overall… it just wasn’t fun.

Completion #117

Aah, needed this after the last game. This was a very good little game! Nice art, cool gameplay mechanic with the charms, good story and an excellent narrator made this very enjoyable. Much recommend!

[Plagueborne]

I am surprised this doesn’t have more plays on TA (only 17 as of today)*Really fun tactics game but has some balance issues towards the end (in our favor) Only 10 hours, that includes some grinding. I liked how the battles were short and small maps. It does have bugged achievements, unlocking in wrong spots/conditions. You can miss stuff so make sure you clear out each level before you progess the story.

*i was given a code for this game

[MasterLeePhD]

Young Souls - 1000

Noticed Young Souls was leaving GP soon and Decided to get the completion before it leaves. 8 hour 2D beat’em’up mixed with lite RPG mechanics. Stylish art and a interesting story. You can fire on all the accessibility options if you fancy breezing through it.

I’ve now got that Puff the Magic Dragon gamerscore.

[Plagueborne]

I saw on TA forums that this got an update and i finally got to finish this. It was hard af. If you finished this when it first game out you were lucky. Glad to get it completed

Every Gamerscore earned from now until next Monday 06:20 AM (UTC) will count towards week #131 ranking. Every Gamerscore earned until April 1, 2022 06:20 AM (UTC) will also count towards March’s ranking.

Don’t forget that this topic is first and foremost destined to talk about all your achievements and trophies, discuss completions and even try to gather people for a boosting session! The ranking is just a side activity to take part in. Good luck everyone and happy hunting!

[CryOn]

Finally played and finished LJ. Best combat in a LAD game and school story is kinda cool as well. Story is a mixed bag.

And there is no way Kaito Files is worth $30. It’s basically just main mission + masked fighters. Story is basically Y1 with happy ending.

Anyways need a break from this series before I play Ishin.

[Plagueborne]

If you like visual novels and movie type games with minimal gameplay, check this one out. Only 2 missables but there is chapter select and theres 3 choiced ones at the end, the rest are story based.
