Right, so I finally finished my second, New Game+ playthrough of Crimson Shroud. The difficulty really quite ramped up by the final chapter, I was on the verge of a ragequit. :wacko: Just barely managed to pull through in the end by abusing buffs/debuffs. Been a while since I played a game this refreshingly challenging.
NFS Hot Pursuit :platinum:
Damn that online is a pain in the arse with randomers.
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Spoiler warning:
Uncharted 1 & 2.
Well, technically I still have some mp/co-op trophies that haven't been done for the second game.
Call of Duty Ghosts (PS4) on veteran.
Boring, too easy, and a total clusterfuck of a campaign. :wacko:
Just 100% completed Wild ARMs 1 including defeating Ragu Ragla (with goat dolls unfortunately). Next time I play this, I will try to beat him hardcore legit.
WRC 3 (Vita) :platinum:
Nice game, perfect for a handheld. If only it were a bit longer!
The Walking Dead (Vita) :platinum:
Enjoyed it except for the false feeling of being deciding the fate of the characters. Everything is set and scripted. Also, some moments and the way the characters react are quite ridiculous, just like the TV show. Still have to complete the 400 Days DLC and I have the PS3 version to try other paths out.
Saints Row 3 :platinum:
Crazy fun game, sometimes too crazy :wacko: Some challenges and the assassination missions are too repetitive and added nothing to the game.
Assassin's creed 3.
Does the Bravely Default demo count, considering it took me about 10 hours to do everything in it? :P
:clap:Quote:

WRC3's length is rectified in WRC4. Which is a much improved game. But the loading times made me want to pull my hair out. :(
"Subject X will remember this". Five minutes later she/he is dead. Typical in TWD :wacko:Quote:

I shouldn't really complain anyway, the price I paid for it was a steal.
3 felt more of a "complete championships x times to platinum" kind of game, with no real purpose or point. :wacko:Quote:

It's a really good game imo, but the loading times are painful, and they easily added a week onto my :platinum: time, because I couldn't be bothered playing it cos of how long it took to load some days. :revwacko:
Final Fantasy X Beaten.
Dat theme.
Minish Cap for the first time, Vaati is tough
I think I need to step it up or Cookie going to catch up to me. ;_;
That being said, I finished Tetris 2 (NES) earlier today, and I only wanted to shoot myself in the face like five times.
Nah, don't worry, I'm going to slow down a bit :wacko:Quote:

Onto the next game!
Even if you don't 100% it there are a lot of easy trophies. The only ones that are a complete pain are finding all the jackspots/gates/billboards. The gates are the worst because they can glitch meaning you'd have to play the game again from Scratch :SQuote:

Sometimes I loved it, sometimes I hated it. And now I tired and sad, because in the end story decided to use one of my most hated tropes.
Don't think that I will return to this one in near future, though I may pick it up again when the new characters patch will come out.
Metal Gear Rising finished along with the two DLC missions. The main game only took me 4 hours and 30 minutes, so that was pretty short. :wacko: Loved every minute of it though.
Yeah, it's a great game. I've played through it at least 4 times now (multiple platforms), and it's still just as fun as the first timeQuote:

I thought I was thorough as hell with this game, but I guess I'm still missing some things. Oh well - got my money worth out of this fantastic game... time to move onto that huge STEAM backlog now :wacko:
I was looking into Crimson Shroud last night.Quote:

It was only a fiver when I bought it so it was kind of a no brainer.Quote:

Armstrong for president! :wacko:Quote:

Actually playing through it again on Hard and eventually on Very Hard as well provided I'm man enough for it (probably not). I'm not even gonna try Revengeance difficulty.
If you can manage an S rank on all levels I will send you a video of me bowing in your honor. I couldn't do it, and I'm typically good at lightning fast action games. I got all the achievements in Bayonetta, and I'm a pretty sound DMC3 player, but Revengeance I just couldn't master. Guess I'm past my prime :wacko:Quote:

Yeah, I believe my balls are not quite sizable enough for that undertaking. :wacko:
Armstrong is a real asshole on the harder difficulties. I don't typically get mad at games unless they start feeling really cheap.... but Armstrong almost had me punching holes in the wall. Good luck - keep me updated on your progress :wacko:Quote:

Last night I slew alduin with the mighty power that is a random elven dagger I pulled off a bandit.
Uncharted 3 :platinum:
Nice. Golden Abyss next ;PQuote:

Son.
Anyway, I just beat Act I of Broken Age that they made available to backers only. Fun stuff and I love the writing and characters, made me chuckle on several occasions.
Anything for you crusher! I've been messing with DmC since it's a freebie for Plus members right now, and all it does is make me want to play Rising, since that's just a much better game. I did grab Rising off Steam, but I haven't installed it yet since I'm lazy I guess..... and I also know that I'll get into an "I want S rank on everything" mode again, and I'll just go nuts trying to do it.Quote:

Rising wasn't free on the US PS+ scheme? :oQuote:

EDIT:
Finished The Last of Us for my final time before putting this game to rest. I had to pull out a walkthrough to find the things I was missing, and shockingly I didn't miss much at all. 1 comic, 1 training manual (one in an attic, because the attic actually glitched the previous playthrough), 1 Shiv door because I never knew it existed in that damn blizzard area, just a couple documents and about 6 firefly tags. Hell, the reason I missed so many tags is because I had no idea there were tags that actually hung from trees and light posts.... kinda dirty if you ask me. Anyway, I got all the single player trophies - this is as close as I'll get to a :platinum: since I won't ever touch the multiplayer. :wacko:
So I beat GTA V, I overall really liked the game but felt like it was much easier than previous GTA games, I had no problem beating this game and in a way the ending allowing you to choose who you want to save is silly because it's so easy to fight so many guys that you might as well choose the ending that spares everybody's life. Other than that it's a great game, there's tons of music to choose from in the radio stations (and the BGM that plays during missions is also brilliant) and the humour is also fantastic.
I've only done one ending in the game.Quote:

I didn't have nearly enough cash even after finishing the storyline, so if I ever decided to buy everything I need to start over and actually play the stock market better. I kinda screwed the pooch when it came to buying stocks... I started out strong, then got lazy when the big money stocks started becoming available. :wacko:
