Hope you guys like Tetra Master and Jump Rope.

That is a pretty brutal list, wow

I never tried to get Excalibur II before (idk if it was even possible in the pal version)

Yeah it's mad completetionist and requires at least two playthroughs and IIRC some of those Trophies are for missables, not even counting Excalibur II.

Especially brutal too coming off of FF12 and FF15 where you didn't even have to complete all of the content in the game for Platinum.

It was possible. but the pal version could not do a 100% excalibur 2 run. Which is its own insanity really.
But yeah Jump Rope 1000 times is gonna be rough.

I wonder how many Shepards were aborted in the womb immediately after the heroic face reveal in the opening moments of the game when the camera swivels around to show the hideous monster you spent the last 30 minutes creating.

Mass Effect 2 was the best for this since character creation happened after an extended intro sequence that had playable sections and no save points.

Dragon Age Inquisition gets points for setting the creation moment in a room with glowing green ambiance, making it near impossible to accurately predict what colors you'll look like in every other context.

Terror From The Deep was cool to me because it was the sequel and the devs were like ÖK we're making this stupidly harder because :xcom:

From what I understand tftd was hard for much stupider reasons. See when Xcom originally came out, there was a bug that set the difficulty to the easiest after the first mission, making it impossible to actually play on the harder difficulties. People didn't know this was happening and complained that the game was too easy. The devs also didn't know about the bug so they thought they had made the game too easy so cranked up the difficulty significantly, now using the previous hardest difficulty as a baseline.

I bought ZoE for the MGS2 demo but it's the best non-simulation mech game. It's like playing an anime.

Also loved the screaming when you punch a mech into a skyscraper. And the damage stayed for future battles.

Also what happened to Metal Gear Fortnite?

I wonder if the yearly cycle of games like CoD also contributed to no bots? If you could play multi against bots you might not immediately upgrade to next year's version with the rest of the playerbase.

Basically all of the CoD games let you play against bots. I think maybe the occasional game has left the feature out but the last 3 in a row have had it

I've always really appreciated this future. The last CoD game to not have a bot mode was Modern Warfare 3. I wish more FPS games had this for their multiplayer. I would have stuck with TitanFall 2 a lot longer if it did.

What's the best sim mech game? Presume it's one of the armored core games which I've never played. Asking for a friend.

100 nobles is easy.
Jumping the rope 1000 times is not.

You don't need to impress them all but they need to ask for an encore. Maybe you do need to impress them all. Because there's a trophy for having 4 moonstones. You get 1 for impressing all 100
