@Keith_Zissou yeah the story in 3 was so good. I think V will remain as my favourite due to how it plays... but narratively 3 was a world apart.
Death Stranding provides some moments that are really chilled... as well as some odyssey-like journeys into the unknown. Really liked the setting, themes and story too. Hope you enjoy.
@BearsEatBeets Yeah, as you get bigger you can jump higher so will have to leave a lot of collectibles until late on. Jumping high was another mechanic I seemed to fudge rather than fully understand how to do.
I found I ended up doing the same for the bigger early fights of attacking and then running (swimming) away to get health and going again. It gets much easier once you start unlocking extra abilities too; I was a big fan of the electric attacks in particular.
@colonelkilgore Thanks. Respect for your Last of Us platinum. That game had one of my lowest trophy counts for a game I actually finished. I think I had about 5% or something. Got some more with the remaster but don’t think it was much more but never touched the multiplayer.
@Thrillho Good to know, I’ll ignore the plates for a while then and just chip away at levelling up.
@BearsEatBeets yeah I think I had around 3% completion the first time I played it through back in 2015. Going back through it was definitely worthwhile though, really enjoyed both extra runs,
Platinum - 56 - Just Cause 3 - just some of the most fun I’ve had gaming for a while… and I reckon must be pretty much the perfect palette-cleanser sandwiched between The Last of Us: Remastered and The Last of Us part 2. Little bit of trouble getting the Chaos Millionaire trophy to pop but it seems to be a pretty common problem. Ultimately I had to go 15,000 chaos points over the 1000,000 target but it eventually popped. I have a feeling that it only registers points earned while logged into the ‘temperamental’ Square Enix servers… so if you get logged out at all (which happens a lot) quickly log back in if you aim to earn this.
And @Thrillho@RogerRoger getting five gears on all those challenges (particularly the wingsuit variety) was a genuine challenge (some of the plane and land races similarly). They were a great diversion from the main gameplay loop though and really (REALLY) got the adrenaline flowing when you could ‘feel’ you were in a perfect run.
@colonelkilgore I have Just Cause 3 and Just Cause 4 in my library through PS Plus. I’ve never played a JC game. Is JC3 a decent place to jump into the series? I know JC4 seemed to be the lesser of the the two in terms of quality, but I wonder if it would really resonate with me. I don’t have it on my list to play, but your praise has be second guessing that.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution yeah Just Cause 3 would be a fine place to start the series buddy as the story is of minimal importance. I’m yet to play Just Cause 4 but as you’ve mentioned JC3 is considered the better game (I’ve played the first two and it’s definitely better than those… though I loved JC2) too.
I’m gonna post a review of Just Cause 3 relatively soon, so definitely have a read of that if you want to properly set your expectations… and if you’re still interested after I’ve gone into the various gameplay mechanics and loops etc. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it.
@Th3solution JC3 was the first game in the series I played after it was a freebie. Plot is not exactly the game’s strong point so don’t worry about that!
@colonelkilgore sounds good. I’ll look forward to that review.
Part of me wants to not be interested in the game because I have a load of backlog yet to play 😅. But actually, I think the series also genre is something new for me to try and new types of games is something that I like to throw in the mix, which new types of things I’ve not yet experienced are hard to come by at this point in my gaming life.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Thrillho cheers bud, it was tough going to be honest but I'll miss playing it for sure.
@nessisonett I do know what you mean, Panau was such an awesome setting and Baby Panay a great antagonist but while those things (& the main missions) were better than those of Just Cause 3 the wingsuit in particular, the tether versatility and also the various challenges available 'just' swing it for me.
@colonelkilgore Yeah, the wingsuit was a really great addition but I didn’t find that the environments were as interesting and didn’t really give you as many opportunities to create your own fun. 3 felt slightly ‘checklisty’ at times.
Just popped #100!!!! Went with Borderlands 3 since BL1 was actually my first Plat and BL2 was number 50 lol. Funny how it worked out like that, on to the next milestone!
@JechtUltima it takes all sorts bud… I’d imagine there are a few things you love which don’t click with me too. It would be a real boring place if everyone had the same likes and dislikes.
@JechtUltima even I am intimidated by the apparent bloat of Valhalla 😅. Think I'm gonna need a good 2 or 3 weeks where I have absolutely nothing planned for that one.
Got Platinum #18 from Mafia 1: Definitive Edition. There was quite a bit of collectable collecting towards the end, but I was having fun driving around in the 1930's setting, so I can't complain.
