@sorteddan congrats buddy. I played this with a dude I’ve never actually met… and only ever talked for the first time during Operation Tango. Needless to say, we were both on our best behaviour… but I (& I’d imagine he too) was absolutely EXHAUSTED at the end of both of the two sessions.
Cheers @colonelkilgore
Have you played any of the 'We were here' series?
Seems like a similar type experience and am thinking of picking up the first one, given its currently about 30p in the sale!

@sorteddan yeah we played the first two We Were Here games not long after we played Operation Tango. They are similar… if simpler tbh (though there was the odd challenge here and there). We’ve been meaning to play the next two installments since then but have struggled to find a time that fits for us both.
Latest Plats...
It takes two (baby). Excellent game and worthy of being a game of the year.
Not an easy game and there are tricky bits but there is so much variety in the gameplay that you keep coming back for more. Difficulty 4/10.
The Ascent. Oh dear what a missed opportunity, fantastic looking blade runner inspired world. However the boring repetitive fetch quests really bring it down which is such a shame as you can see how much effort went into the game.
I wonder if an over the shoulder viewpoint and a more Returnal type gameplay would have been a better game, certainly the weapons and gadgets look and sound great. Of course that would break two player coop as split screen would be required and we all know a certain machine isn't capable of that (put those pitchforks down...it's a joke).
Difficulty 3/10. Worth playing just for the world and the awesome atmospheric soundtrack.
@CaptD congrats buddy. Yeah I loved It Takes Two also, was a joy to play through it with the missus… not sure that joy would be the word that she’d use though 🤣.
Finally cracked that Dead Nation nut and got #65 last night. The run that I did it on ended up being quite easy and I actually thought I'd got one more level to go, so you were definitely right about that RNG @colonelkilgore. Thanks for the support from all you guys on this one, I'm glad I didn't give up ✊
@render Great stuff on Dead Nation, I hope you enjoyed the game overall despite the annoying run repetition at the end..truly the definition of insanity.
It seems like I'm the last to obtain the platinum as it is still on my to-do list.
@colonelkilgore@CaptD Cheers guys, that did end up being tougher than I thought. I think I put 45 hours in all told so way beyond what the guides suggested. Still an enjoyable game though and I can see similar themes with the game play between Dead Nation, Nex Machina, Resogun and Returnal.
#179 PGA Tour 2k23 (PS5)
It's in the hole.
Pretty straightforward list to complete - only needed one online match and just about everything else done in career mode. Think it's my 30th shiny of the year as well.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan It's in the sand.
Well done on that, I did the MP trophy the other day. I played Tigger W and lost overall, although I did win the second hole, honestly I felt like swinging my virtual club at something.
I need to improve my putting skills.
My latest plat is Ys IX something Nox. Looks like a PS3 game and plays like one but I guess that is their old engine, their Ys games used to be on Vita as well but not Ys9.
Good game with charm but a step back from Ys8 imo and it felt more button mashy.
3/10 difficulty and about 50 hours (I did two playthroughs although speed ran the second).
Played via PS Extra, definitely recommend but only after playing Ys8.
Decent list, really appreciate not having one awful trophy like the PS4 game does. Skill points cover loads of different parts of the game so the variety’s there and it was fun upgrading the weapons. Last little bit grinding for bolts took me 5 minutes.
Bit annoyed I can’t get Far Cry 4’s platinum cause they put co-op and competitive multiplayer ones in the main set. Hate when they do that with a single player game, I did 100% of the map for zero payoff.
@sorteddan I enjoyed PGA Tour 2K21 earlier this year and will look forward to making PGA Tour 2K23 my next annual golf game next year (around the time of the Masters).
@CaptD yeah I noticed you were putting a fair few hours into this recently. I had heard that VIII was a bit better than IX… but that IX was still a good game. I’m looking forward to starting my first Ys game when I get the chance.
@nessisonett Well done on the Ratchet and Clank, totally agree about the trophy list.
As for Far Cry 4, I'm sure I read the other day that the servers are down anyway so the platinum is unobtainable even if you did want to play the coop/competitive modes.
I have a love/hate relationship with ubi servers, I like the fact that they keep them running for years (unlike, say Sony) but I hate the fact that they seem very temperamental. I always rush out to get the MP trophies first if I buy a Ubi game.
@colonelkilgore Yeah I was playing an insane amount of Ys 9, mainly because there are missables and in some bizarre fashion which I can't explain, I was constantly playing to get to the end and see if I missed any. The trophy guides out there are not very good and information is scattered over several web sites.
@sorteddan Congrats on the PGA Tour win, Tiger Woods has got nothing on you 😀
I installed Nex Machina on the PS5 at the weekend as I started playing that a while back on the PS4 and then put it down. For some reason I was still in for some twin stick shooter action after Dead Nation and it seemed like a good place to start. I'd got a good handful of trophies on it last time I played but hadn't done a complete Experienced level run so thought I'd start there.
Obviously some of the Dead Nation trophies were hard and I remember Resoguns list being quite a challenge, but Nex Machina seems to be that step up. By default you get 3 lives (unless you pick up extra lives as you go) and Experienced difficulty has 99 continues you can use to get through it all. By the time I'd finished I had 48 continues remaining. The 1CC trophy requires you to "Complete Arcade mode on Experienced difficulty without continuing"... what the... 🤣🤣🤣. Anyone ever attempted the platinum on Nex Machina?
@CaptD, I forgot to add you in for congratulations on your latest plat too 👏
