Hey there!
After
finishing all 6 versions of Sound Shapes I wanted to use the momentum and go
for more easy Platinum Trophies. I heard that some the easiest games are so
called Visual Novels. As this type of game was pretty new to me, the first
thing I did was to make a research. I didn’t want to buy the pig in a poke.
After reading through some forums I arrived at following conclusion:
1. As these are novels, you have to do
a lot of reading – hmm, this sounds annoying…
2. Several playthroughs are needed in
most of them – lame!
3. You can complete most of them by
skipping through texts and making tactical saves within a few hours – ok, this
sounds much better.
4. You can find guides for most of them
in the internet – that’s great!
5. Most of them are only available in
Japan and thus only in Japanese language – this sucks!
6. They are pretty expensive and you
have to pay import charges – this sucks even more!
So I was
sitting there and thinking: ”Do I really want to pay 70€ or more for one single
game which I only buy for the Platinum Trophy and can be completed in a few
hours or less?” My answer to this was “no”. But I also wanted more easy
Platinum Trophies as so I was looking for some used games. Surprisingly they
weren’t that hard to find and I was able to get some for a good price.
I remember quite
well when I started my first Visual Novel. I was so nervous. Everything was in
Japanese and I was so afraid that I’d mess something up. I knew if I do
something wrong, I’d have to start all over again and I’d have no chance to
figure out where I fucked up. Luckily there was no need to be worried as the
guide which I was using was perfect.
To be
honest, at the beginning it was pretty annoying skipping through the whole game
but the more games I played, the more I got used to it. Now it’s not a big deal
for me anymore as I know that I’ll have a new Platinum Trophy when I’m done
with the game. Even though some most of those games need several playthroughs
(or skip-throughs), I can only recommend them to ongoing trophy hunters. It’s
really and easy and fats way to increase you platinum count.
Of course,
Visual Novels weren’t the only games I played at that time. Here’s an overview
of games I managed to complete within the next months:
31. Orc Slayer (EU version) – Keep your hands of this game, it only takes one hour but it’s one of
the worst games I’ve ever played. This video by IBadDriverI speaks for itself.
32. Orc Slayer (US version) – same as above
33. Life Is Strange (PS4 version) – In case you haven’t played it yet, give it a
try. It’s really a good game with an awesome story.
34. Arcade Game Series: Galaga – Can be bought together with Pac Man and Dig Dug in a bundle for a
good price. Abusing the cloud save function makes the Platinum Trophy
relatively easy.
35. 恋愛0キロメートルＶ – My
first Visual Novel!
36. いますぐお兄ちゃんに妹だっていいたい！ - Another Visual Novel.
37. Arcade Game Series: Pac Man – Again, abusing the cloud save function makes this game pretty easy.
38. グリザイアの果実スピンアウト！？ アイドル魔法少女ちるちる☆みちる – Probably the easiest and fastest Visual
Novels ever. It took me 6 minutes only to skip through hall the videos and
unlock the Platinum Trophy.
39. Funk of Titans
– An easy side-scrolling Jump-and-Run.
40. Catlateral Damage – You’re playing as a cat and have to mess up some houses. Do I have to
say more?
41. The DeadlyTower of Monsters – A quite good indie shooter. Can be completed in 6 hours.
42. Murdered: Soul Suspect (PS4 version) – A puzzle game with an awesome story. Unfortunately
there’re so many collectibles that need to be picked up for the Platinum
Trophy.
43. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (PS Vita version) – A typical Jump-and-Run. The good
thing about this game is that you can autopop the PS3 version trophies once you’ve
beaten the PS Vita version of the game and vice versa.
44. Amnesia: Memories – Another Visual Novel. The good things about this game are that it was
free for PS+ Members and that it is translated into English.
That’s it
for today. Next time I’ll tell you something about Point-and Click games.
Yours,
AvengedEvil
