@johncalmc I learnt the basics in Judgment as you had to play to get one of the friends (and also hope the weird rule they introduce comes up on a hand you win).
Was it just 100% completion or did it need a legend play through as well?
Finished Stray last night. Did one chapter then speedrunned it, etc. It made it easier because I remembered where everything was. Fun game but a tad bit overhyped
@johncalmc Good show on the plat. I've always struggled to get into the Yakuza games, I find the stories interesting but the fighting system doesn't grip me so I hope that Like a dragon with the turn based might correct that although I'm still not going to learn Mahjong....or am I? 🤔
PS. Now if Yakuza had the Sleeping Dogs combat I might be more into the fighting....seriously Sleeping Dogs > GTA, why haven't we got Sleeping Dogs 2 and it can't be that the pork bun jokes are all done.
@sorteddan I actually found Fallen Order a little overrated myself. Definitely not a bad game but I expected more for sure… I’m hoping the sequel will be more what I was expecting.

@sorteddan Me walking into the topic and sensing somebody who didn't love Jedi: Fallen Order...
Only kidding.
Congratulations on sticking around for its platinum. At least it doesn't make any silly demands, like doing a whole second playthrough or completing the game on Jedi Grand Master or anything.
Additional congrats to @CWill97 for that Stray platinum, too. Smart approach to the speedruns!

@RogerRoger
Yeah all the extra requirements were pretty achievable. I especially appreciated the way each area on a planet had separate collectable counters making it easier to narrow the search focus on guides. Could have done with a fast travel though in my opinion.
And as someone who watched Gotham a few years back I had difficulty not seeing Cal as a young joker during cutscenes.
Very much agree with @colonelkilgore it wasn't bad but I somehow expected something more epic whereas I found it to be bang average. Has made me think I should rewatch all the films at some point though. Apart from the original trilogy I've only ever seen the others maybe once, is it worth seeing in chronological story order?
@CWill97
Good stuff on your Stray shiny. I felt pretty much the same as you and I played it at the time of the release hype.

@CaptD Don't worry, no Mahjong required for the Like a Dragon platinum! And no second play through needed either (just a lot of grinding to beat the last dungeon).
@sorteddan Yeah, without those extra percentage counters, it would've been a nightmare collectathon. Also, you're not alone in wishing for fast-travel. Reportedly, it'll be implemented in Jedi: Survivor.
Funnily enough, I binge-watched Gotham shortly before Fallen Order and yet had no problem separating Cal from Jerome (but then I am a hardcore Star Wars fanboy much, much more than I am a bat-fan, so I suppose Cal has an advantage). Both are great performances, though!
Despite the series being designed for a one-through-nine viewing, I'm an advocate of watching 'em in release order, as there's always a benefit of seeing things with creation context (for example, knowing who Palpatine is ahead of his prequel appearances helps you to notice all of his subtle, scheming smiles from the get-go). That being said, there is no "wrong" way to watch the Skywalker Saga. They're big, silly, fun family films, and trying to make them anything more than that'll just expose their flaws.
The best advice I can give is that, if you have a preference for a particular trilogy, start there. An old favourite should be more effective at getting you in the mood to stick out eight more movies!

@sorteddan I missed your comment about the Star Wars films and I’m currently doing a chronological (re)watch of the films and live action series from the beginning.
There’s a good reason I hadn’t rewatched episodes 1-3 before as they are… not good. E3 has more action scenes at least.
Finished The Quarry trophies last night. Man, the extra playthroughs were such a slog. If I didn’t pop on some sports in the background, I don’t think I would’ve completed it. I feel like Until Dawn was the better game but The Quarry wasn’t bad- if you only do 1 run.
Now, I’m chipping away at FFX platinum. I’ve beat the main game for awhile now. Next up is finishing the sphere grids. I’m grinding for fortune spheres. So, I’m putting on another show/game and chilling. I’ll probably put it down during March Madness this Thursday
An easier platinum than Hospital but not as fun a game unfortunately. Only one or two trophies that I had to go out my way for but they only took a few minutes of work to get.
Congratulations to @CWill97 (although sorry to hear The Quarry ended up being such a slog) and @Thrillho (although also sorry to hear that Two Point Campus wasn't as fun as its predecessor)!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
So 4th time really was the charm! Platinum #32 Skyrim!
I just intended to beat the game, but I just got sucked in. I didn’t want to post because I figured anything & I mean anything could happen to screw over the plat for me.
It’s still riddled with bugs. Completely inexcusable. Most would just go away by reloading the game a few times.
The thieves guild trophy was the only one I had to grind via reloads & by the end I only had to find 2 books & 2 stones for their respective trophies that didn’t come naturally.
Level 94, ~121 hours played. The trophy guide has it at 125 hours for the plat but I reckon I could’ve shaved off at least 20 hours if I wasn’t messing about.
All in all. One of my favourite platinums ever. Not only because the game has been stuck in my backlog for over 10 years, but because the trophy list was actually really well laid out.
