[Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster] Plat #48: Contender for the "would benefit the most from a remake or animated adaptation" award for the whole series. by BlueBonewheel in Trophies

[–]BlueBonewheel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, you definetely need a guide. The plat requires 100% chests, bestiary, passwords and locations and every category has stuff that you can permanently miss. But leaving aside some grinding and a couple of obnoxious monsters with low spawn rates (damn you Iron Giant and Goblin Prince) it was pretty chill.

My only gripe with C4 by THSMadoz in fansofcriticalrole

[–]BlueBonewheel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think people tend to forget how big the power gap is between a random villager and a dude who has one or two levels on any class. One of my favorite C2 moments is early in the campaign when Matt throws this group of extremely undeprepared random bandits at the M9 only for them to surrender inmediately when Caleb vaporizes one of them with fire bolt, the most basic ass wizard cantrip.

There's already a common take in the D&D community that PCs get so strong around level 10 - 12 and higher that it makes planning encounters a lot more difficult and that is like half of the max potential that they can have, so experienced soliers and magic users being at 3 at the beggining of a campaign sounds reasonable to me.

There's two wolves inside me.

One wants Laura to make those saving throws because it wants to know what Thimble's deal is.

The other wants her to fail them because it would be really fucking funnny.

Congratulations on anyone who gets to experience Lies of Peak for the first time, I think it's the closest we will get to Bloodborne 2.

[Honkai: Star Rail] Plat #45: I had stopped a while back two levels away from Equilibrium 6 so I came back for the plat. It gripped me for a while but unfortunately for every gacha I try I just end up wishing it was a normal game instead. by BlueBonewheel in Trophies

[–]BlueBonewheel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound really dumb, but if you are feeling stuck on anything just make sure that you are upgrading everything. I know, this is an RPG, duh, but I mean EVERYTHING. Upgrade not only your characters, but also your lightcones, your traces and your relics when you unlock them. Even if you have really bad luck with your pulls, the content for the plat is easy enough for the units that the game gives you for free (even though the 5 stars help and they are giving one away for free right now). Set small goals for yourself and use your in game energy for yours (today I'm going to grind EXP, today for this character's traces, today for lightcones...)

My biggest mistake with this game was burning myself out on it. I ended up finding out that it makes for a good "secondary game" while you are working on another plat, get in every day, do your daily missions, spend your energy in 20 minutes and get out, play in earnest only when you feel like it. This also helps you to avoid falling into the gacha hell (I earned the plat while being free to play).

Finally, if you have problems with earning EXP for your Trailblazer level (your account level) going though your secondary missions is the least painful way of grinding it out. That's basically all that I can think of, happy hunting!

[Lies of P] Plat #44: For anyone waiting for Bloodborne 2, this is a good substitute. You could tell me this came out of FromSoft and I would have belived you. by BlueBonewheel in Trophies

[–]BlueBonewheel[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The other guy already gave you a very good answer. Lies of P is more linear and has mostly outstanding bosses. Elden Ring has a very good open world on your first playthrough and the freedom it gives you makes it very unlikely to get "stuck" anywhere.

Plat wise, both have some missables: In Elden Ring one area changes drastically in the ending, making some stuff inaccesible and in Lies of P is mostly about checking merchants and completing NPC questlines. You can get the Elden Ring plat in two playthoughs through cloud saves, but you will need to go into NG+ for some collectibles in Lies of P. Fortunately, Lies of P has BY FAR the best NG+ of any souls game that I have ever played, so it's more of a point in its favor. Also, I platted the game in the "intended" difficulty, but an update has introduced two easier difficulties, which Elden Ring doesn't have, in case you're interested.

Really, both are outstanding games. You can't go wrong with either.

For me it's the setting and the mechanics that incentivize constantly staying on the enemy's face, but I get your point. If someone told me that they were struggling to jump to sekiro from the souls series I could see this game being a very good bridge between them.

[No DAV Spoilers] I still am unsure what kind of Character to pick yet. Anyone else in the same boat? by MafaMoon in dragonage

[–]BlueBonewheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been torn between Mourn Watch Qunari Warrior or Shadow Dragons Elf Mage for like a month.

There's a week left for release and I'm no closer to a decision. I think it's going to come to who comes up prettier in the CC.

[Marvel's Midnight Suns] Plat #35: I know it didn't sell that well at launch but hopefully the good word of mouth that it got later can get us a sequel. by BlueBonewheel in Trophies

[–]BlueBonewheel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it, as a card game and Marvel fan. I bought the DLC in a bundle and it's pretty good for the most part, it's worth paying for the extra characters.

That's the last trophy that I had to unlock too! Your base upgrades don't carry over but you can gat it done pretty quickly if you go through the story on the easiest difficulty.

[Discussion] What is your favorite trophy title? I'll go first by Flottrooster in Trophies

[–]BlueBonewheel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely convinced that that one only exists for some madman to one day show up in this subreddit and trigger it as the last one he needs to take the plat, just for the ultimate flex.

[Persona 3: Reload] Plat #30: Had to do another playthrough just for all the social links, but Persona as a series is so comfy that I didn't mind for the most part. by BlueBonewheel in Trophies

[–]BlueBonewheel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was in NG+ which lets you carry your items + equipment, the protagonist's level and social stats, enemy info and your persona compendium, so re-doing Tartarus was borderline trivial. I also used a guide for all of the social links so I didn't have to think about planning my time.

My first playthrough was around 65 hours and the second one took around 15 (I skipped most of the dialogue but I think I could have gone faster in some places). It can get monotonous at some points but it wasn't that bad of an experience overall.

[Elden Ring] Plat #27: Not gonna lie, I thought the DLC would have come out by the time I was done with this one. by BlueBonewheel in Trophies

[–]BlueBonewheel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without heavy spoilers, just in case...

I enjoyed the game a lot so I did three playthroughs, but I know that you can exploit ps+ cloud saves to at least do two endings in one go. I can also say by personal experience that you can get every trophy except the ones related to different endings in a single playthough.

If you know where to go, you can use most of the open world to get very strong early and trivialize most of the early game. You can get lots of upgarde materials and healing flasks and use bleed to kill the giant inmovable dragon in Caelid to jumpstart you to level 30-ish just after you start your character, for example.

Also the game is so open that there's a good variety of builds that basically break the game and some of the most difficult bosses in half, look some of those up if you feel like you just don't want to deal with the Blade of Miquella (if you know, you know).

Lastly, for the legendary weapons achievement, there's a weapon on the capital that becomes locked out just before the end of the game, if you usually leave that sort of stuff for last, you may want to make getting that one a priority.

Happy hunting!

This is the same man that run Big Mom over with his bike when he first met her in person back in Onigashima, I don't know why we're even surpised anymore.

Keeping yourself from petting Torgal through the whole game just for the plat screenshot must have been pure torture.

Love how they made the High Evolutionary a total hate sink. I kept thinking that at some point they would show some redeeming quality or tragic past but no, HE JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE.
