@BeerIsAwesome Congrats, I was surprised how much I enjoyed Grid Legends.
As for the grind it has been worse as @sorteddan will testify, I think EA were trying to sell you that 79p dlc which cuts the grind...Glad you didn't give in as it only encourages them.
@BeerIsAwesome Wow my playtime was substantially less than that, around 40-50 I think but I was aware of certain gotchas before I started, mainly driving Ferrari whenever possible. However I did grind on the oval circuit quite a bit for a few cars plus I would often change my car when I reached whatever grind limit I required. Plus I think there are races in the lower classes that you don't need to complete, I avoided a few disciplines that I didn't enjoy.
As a footnote, I remember seeing a thread on psnprofiles where people were discussing their playtimes and there was quite the disparity.
@BeerIsAwesome
Congratulations on #98
That hundredth almost in sight, depends on what games you've got coming up.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it and is definitely one I hope to get around to in the next couple of months.
Hopefully will take me considerably less time than you though!
@CaptD
Testify brother! I'm going all out head down grind mode for the next few days as I've had enough! Already done 500 miles today and hope to reach 20,000 miles shortly. Want it done within the week.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
Today's patch fixed my progression blocker and I could finally take care of the remaining Bounty Hunters.
Now, idk if this is something that today's patch also introduced of if it's always been that way, but the game's performance when making my way to Jo The Cannibal through the Lucrehulk was absolutely abysmal. Actual slide show.
I liked this game a lot but between the long wait for a patch and the perofmance problems, I'm just glad to be done with it now.
1) the thought of leaving a game one trophy short of achieving a platinum makes your brain itch
2) you are prepared to spend 100+ hours to get that last trophy
...
#167 Grid (PS4)
I finished the majority of the game months ago and think I probably enjoyed it. Every day since I've done up to an hour grinding to reach a stupidly high target (25,000 miles), it'll be strange to get up tomorrow and not have to do it!
@Voltan
Well done. Glad the patch fixed your blockage and you can now also move on.
Congrats @Voltan, you’re recent exploits with this and Burning Shores definitely raises some concerns about playing games at release. Let’s hope Final Fantasy XVI doesn’t have any of these issues, as that is one game that I don’t think I’ll be able to wait for too long on.
And we’ll done @sorteddan, this one seems to have popped up a fair bit of late… and seems to be quite the grind.
@sorteddan Brillant, you've finally done it much to the annoyance of the Codemasters Dev team. I remember a friend mentioned this trophy a while back and I thought, I'm not playing that.
The 1000 mile grind in Dirt 5 was bad enough.
I bet you've never deleted a game as quick.
@Voltan Well done Padawan or does this mean that you are a Jedi master, or just a trophy master?
My latest plats...
Tchia - Didn't know what to expect from this but it is quite a delightful , chilled game. A bit of a collectathon if you want the plat but mostly everything is marked on the map once you unlock the "Ubisoft towers". 2.5/10 and only a couple of missable trophies, one for killing 3 enemies in one attack and one for 100% rhythm mini game. Time about 20 hours.
The Crew 2. This is a strange one as I downloaded it after the 60fps patch last year and couldn't finish in top 3 in ANY race, to progress you need a top 3 finish in order to get parts hence required to progress. I thought this is the hardest race game I've ever played and I just couldn't progress past the first race , like at all. Anyhoo I redownloaded it after the recent The Crew 3 reveal and didn't have any issue winning nearly every race first time so I'm not sure what the problem before was, I suspect something like the old Dark Souls 2 weapon wear n tear stat where it was based on a 30fps so weapons were wearing down twice as fast and I reckon the AI racers were being calculated twice as often.
I have no other explanation and as Dustin says "I'm a very good driver" so it wasn't me.
Anyways good game but very much a jack of all trades master of none but I did enjoy most of the disciplines especially the calming nature of the race boats. I was disappointed in the use of the open world and I wish at the end of each race it would give an option to set waypoint to next so in effect you would have a sort of rally experience (think Lombard / RAC ).
3/10. About 30 hours and a few coop trophies but nothing all bad.
Nice one (or two 😉) @CaptD… yeah there’s always been something about Tchia that held my interest for some reason, will deffo have to give it a go at some point. And although I’m nowhere near a racing fan, that new Crew game does look interesting.
@colonelkilgore I quite enjoyed Crew 1 (never got the plat as it is very MP focused) so I was willing to push through with Crew 2 after the first failed attempt.
It is fun though, there are street cars, raid cars, rally cars (which are actually quite well done), hovercraft, jet sprint boats, power boats, drift events (very very easy, I still despise them though), drag racing (waste of time) and motocross which are a pain except for the point races as they are pretty good.
Not to mention planes although I felt these were a bit lame, you have the red bull type airraces and free style. I think Rings (like the wingsuit in Riders republic) and actual air races might have improved it. The whole thing does need VR though.
If you do try it then just shout if you need the coop trophies. As I said a fairly quick easy platinum and no grinding (for me at least).
I'm looking forward to Crew 3.
And that’s the trilogy done. Mostly straightforward but needed too mini replays to get a level 10 weapon and the trophy for burning enemies which didn’t work with my adept build.
@Thrillho Great job on the Mass Effect trilogy ! That must have been a lot of work.
On my side, I added a few small plats while I'm playing through Ghost of Tsushima :
#355 SpongeBob Squarepants : Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated - I wanted something simple and fun, and 3D platformers are the perfect choice. Nothing amazing but it brought me back to PS2 era, and it was nice.
#356 Goosebumps : The Game - Man I'm ashamed of that one. I used to read these books when I was a kid so I said why not, but the game is so bad ! At least it's just a couple hours.
#357 Headlander - A nice surprise here, a good Metroidvania with great mechanics. Short and easy.
#358 TOEM - A cute little game about pictures. Nice and easy, I recommend it.
@Thrillho congrats bud, always a more satisfying plat when it’s the capstone on a whole series. Funnily enough I started Mass Effect this morning… I’ll probably get to 3 in a couple of years.
… and a big congrats to @Cornaboyzzz, a nice haul there!
@Cornaboyzzz About 100 hours for the whole trilogy which isn't too bad really. And not as much work as the plats for the original games seeing as they required insanity difficulty runs too.
@colonelkilgore I hope you enjoy the series! I hadn't actually played the original game until the Legendary Edition and it hasn't aged as well as the others but the story still shines through. The trophies can be a little buggy, particularly the ones related to your squad so make sure to swap characters out once it pops for them. Kaiden's ability related trophy is also a pain until I found out you could use it on the Mako (your planetary vehicle).
