Yakuza 0 is the first PS4 game that I've beaten and I'm surprised that you only get a silver trophy for that

It's completely inconsistent and up to the developers, some give you most for just finishing the story, some give you maybe a single bronze if you just play through normally *cough*thelastofus*cough*

Housh posted:I'm trying to finish GoW before Detroit comes out. I'm at the second encounter with the Frost Ancient and it seems impossible. I'm even using the technique of hiding behind a pillar but I just can't get clean shots on it. The game was fair on normal difficulty thus far. What gives? Remember that you can hold L1 to block and it doesn't punish you as much as, say, a Platinum or Souls game would for just blocking everything. I am like 20 hours into the game and still keep forgetting to block. Mainly because I have the witch time talisman and I am addicted You can also just parry the shots with the skill unlocked

DR1 is rougher around the edges but also there’s a benefit to the simplicity behind the mechanics and game. DR2 did a lot of things better but also expanded on poo poo (not always in the best of ways). Don’t bother with the trophies for DR1 unless you REALLY love the game, herding survivors in a specific way non-stop through an entire playthough is incredibly annoying and you basically need to follow a guide from start to finish. Playing the game blind and going through the cases as you try to rescue as many people as you can (or want) if way more fun. Not to mention DR1 has the convicts. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLL HE AINT MY BOY BUT THE BROTHER IS HEAVY

I'm about to platinum HZD, and I think it's about the right level for a platinum. You do everything the game has to offer, but you don't have to play through it on the hardest difficulty or multiple times, and you don't have to spend dozens of hours grinding, and you don't have to do the multiplayer so your ability to get trophies depends on other people.

I just got the Yakuza 6 platinum, it wasn't as hard to get as previous Yaks but you do have to play the bad clan creator minigame 100 times. I don't usually go for plays unless I'm like 90% of the way there anyway.

haveblue posted:What games do that other than Nier Automata? I didn’t see an option for that, but I didn’t look very close. Edit: Just checked and I have 45 platinum trophies. I have played my fair share of Telltale and Zero Escape games, but since I was a kid I would try to do everything (within reason) in a game if I really liked it. A lot of games (Bloodborne, Horizon, FF XV, The Witness, Gravity Rush, et al.) give you a platinum just for completing the game without doing any crazy grinding. There are some games I really liked but would never try to get all their trophies. Seeing all 26 endings and upgrading all weapons in Nier Automata seemed like a waste of time, just like completing all locations in AC: Origins or getting 50 headshot kills with the crossbow in Witcher 3. the truth fucked around with this message at 20:50 on May 20, 2018 |

I'd have to say that FF6 is my favorite Final Fantasy and I'm a bit sad that they've never managed to top it. The characters are all very memorable, the dungeons and bosses are great, some of the secret areas are actually difficult to find and give great rewards, and Kefka is a villain who got me to hate him like I've never hated any other video game villain before or since. The only other villain who's even come close is Luca Blight from Suikoden 2. But the best thing about FF6 is the setting. The cyberpunk atmosphere is unique and more creative than any other FF setting. But what makes it truly awesome is the fact that it's so relentlessly depressing unlike any other game. The world starts as a totalitarian dystopia and then halfway through becomes a post-apocalyptic dystopia. At no point is there anything approaching happiness. The PCs and NPCs spend the entire game in a state of depression which worsens as the game goes on. I really wish they'd create another FF that's similarly amazing.

FFVI might be my favorite game ever and while I'm kinda sad they never followed up on it all the sequel stuff they did for FFVII and FFIV is so bad that it might be a blessing in disguise. I still would've loved a remake in the vein of FFIV DS though, terrible voice acted cutscenes and all.

I’m finally playing Rise of the Tomb Raider, and holy poo poo I can’t believe how bad the writing is. The bad guys are straight out of a direct to video 90s action movie, without any of the fun. Between the lousy characters and lack of narrative momentum, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it. The bow is still fun and I like the tombs, but they really beefed it on this one. And I really liked TR 2013.

Confession: I never finished FF6. Made it all the way to Kefka's tower many many years ago and then stopped for some reason (might've been underleveled and didn't feel like grinding). Pretty sure I have the game on at least three platforms too and I just never get around to committing to it.

I like the story in HZD but I can't stand the talking heads presentation of 90% of the dialogue so I'm skipping almost every cutscene as it cuts into my shooting robot tigers time

I bought Agents of Mayhem on the deep discount this weekend. It’s ... actually pretty fun? I like it more than SRIV, though the fact that the entire map isn’t in perpetual night helps a lot with that.

It was weird because after the first one I just wanted more of the same. And they gave me more of the same. And I couldn't 'meh' hard enough at it. Now they are at layer 3 of the same and I looked around but had no fucks to give.

Also, if anyone is looking for easy plats, maybe for the Sony Rewards or whatever, the Telltale games are all pretty much just for completing the games. Walking Dead 400 days and Wolf Among Us have a couple of optional ones, but none of the other games do.
