As I’ve
only limited gaming time, I was looking for ways to use the efficiently. By
efficiently I mean to unlock as much Platinum Trophies as possible in the
shortest possible time. And as I have a P3, a PS4 and a Vita I was thinking
about playing games on all of these systems at the same time. But this would
mean that I’d need games which don’t need full concentration and where I don’t
have to do much. After searching through some forums I realized that Telltale games would be ideal for this.
Most of those games have different trophy stacks on different stacks on
different systems and you don’t have to do much while playing these games. Most
of the time you’re just sitting in front of your TV and watch videos. Of
course, you can make some choices within the game and have to take control over
your character once in a while but that’s it. Additionally you get all trophies
in (nearly) all of the Telltale games
by just playing through the story. So I thought I might give it a try.
I started Tales from the Borderlands on my PS3 and
PS4 at the same time and was watching the first video. When I came to the first
part where I had to do something (if I remember correctly, it was some kind of
fight where I had to press some buttons), I first did it on my PS4. After this
part was over another video started and I switch over to my PS3, where I did
the same scene again. This worked like a charm.
Unfortunately
I soon had to realize that I still wasted a lot of time in front of the TV by
doing nothing as the video sequences took much longer than the scenes where you
have to do something. Luckily I still had an unplayed visual novel for my PS
Vita, which I started as well.This means that I was playing 3 games at the same time and I was able to complete them within 2 days. This was a big win as it would have taken me a whole week to complete them all if I’d have been playing them one after the other. Since that bought most of the Telltale games and I played them simultaneously or I played a Telltale game on one of my PlaySation systems on something else on another console.
I soon realized that there are also many visual novels out there, which have separate trophy stacks on different PS systems (e.g. Steins;Gate) and I always try to play them simultaneously. This save me a massive amount of time already.
Here’s the
list of games in which I unlocked Platinum Trophies starting from October 2016
until December 2016:
54. Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ - A typical visual novel that was free to PS+
members once. I played this game at the same time as both versions of Tales from the Borderlands.
55. Tales from the Borderlands (PS4 version) – A typical Telltale
game. You make some choices and take control over your character once in a
while but most of the time you’re watching videos. You’ll get all trophies by
playing through the story.
56. Tales from the Borderlands (PS3 version) – see above
57. Adam’s Venture Origins – What a lame game. It’s like some crappy Tomb Raider clone but without shooting and fun. Luckily you can
complete it in a few hours.
58. Steins;Gate
(EU PS3 version) – A simply visual novel. I played it simultaneously with the
Vita version.
59.
Steins;Gate (EU Vita version) – see above
60. Magus – This
is some kind of crappy little RPG in which you’re forced to play with a mage. Story,
graphics and gameplay are awful in this game but it’s easy and can be completed
in a view hours.
61. Megamind –
The game to the movie of the same name. It’s a kids game so you don’t have to
expect any challenge.
62. Game of Thrones (PS4 version) – A typical Telltale
game. Nothing special about it.
63. NCIS Game – That’s
some kind of Point & Click game based on the TV show. Can be completed in a
view hours with the help of a guide.
64. Game of Thrones (PS3 version) – see 53, I was playing Snoopy on PS4 at the same time.
65. Snoopy’s Grand Adventure – An easy platformer. The only bad thing about this game are the
collectibles. There are a lot and you’ll spend some hours searching for them.
66. Riptide GP2 –
This is an arcade racing game with Jet-Skies. There are several modes in which
you have to win races or beat the highscore by performing tricks. Not a bad
game.
67. Monster Jam: Path of Destruction – I was quite surprised when I played this
game. I though a game featuring monster trucks must be awful but in the end I
liked it. IMO the best game from the series.
68. My Name is Mayo (PS4 version) – AKA the clicking simulator. Seriously, you have to
click 10000 times on a mayo jar. That’s basically all you’re doing but how much
can you expect from a game which costs 1$? ;-)
69. Terminator Salvation – As a huge Terminator fan I must admit that this game is just one big
insult to the whole Terminator franchise. Gameplay, story and graphics just
suck!
70. Up – In this
game you replay the story of the Disney movie. As it is designed for kids, it’s
not really hard but includes the usual collectibles. Can be done in a few
hours.
71. Monster Jam: Crush It! – This game has been released shortly after I played path of
destruction and I thought that this game will be fun too but it turned out that
it’s just bullshit. The modes are bad and the physics just suck. I mean you can
drive up invisible walls during stunt levels. I think the devs just wanted to
release this game quickly to make some easy money.
72. LA Cops – A top
down Shoot ‘em Up. As the name implies, you’re playing as a cop and have to
kill some gangsters. The game itself is nice but you have to beat it in all 3
difficulties to get the Platinum Trophy. Lucky one playthrough only takes 2-3
hours and nightmare difficulty isn’t that hard with a fully upgraded character.
73. Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness (EU version) – This is one of the longer
visual novels I played up to now. It has a lot of different ending and you also
need to play a mini-game for a few hours as you need to earn enough points to unlock
all scenes and pictures.
74. Jazzpunk (US
version) – see 49
75. Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour – I think everyone has already
heard of Duke Nukem so I won’t get into detail. As it is an anniversary edition
it contains a few new maps. This is one of the few games in which you can use
in-game cheats without voiding trophies. With this you can get all of them
within a few hours.
76. Dead Synchronicity – I really had to push me through this Point & Click. I really had
no interest in the story at all and I also didn’t like the design of the game. One
of the worst Point & Clicks I’ve played until now.
77. The Walking Dead (PS4 version) – This is my favorite Telltale
game. I already played it a few years ago on my XBOX360. I can recommend this
to every Walking Dead fan. The story is great and there’re also longer parts in
which you’re in control of your character. It’s not like the other Telltale
games in which of them you’re just watching videos most of the time.
78. Nubla (US
version) – This is a tiny little puzzle game with a few collectibles. It can be
completed in around 30 minutes by using this guide or
watching this video
on IBadDriverI’s
YouTube channel.
79. The World of Nubla – see above
80. Far Cry Primal
– I had this game in my backlog for a few months. I always wanted to play it
but I never found the time. Basically it’s a really good game with solid
graphics but it gets boring with the time. Killing enemies in different ways
can be fun but capturing all outposts and forts is all the time the same. Nevertheless,
I’m happy that I played the game but I’m also happy that I’m done with it.
81. ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS (EU version) – This is a multiplayer game in which everyone is in
control of a – what a surprise – rocket and your aim is to destroy your
opponents. The game is fun for about 5 minutes but then you’ve already seen
everything. If you’re going for a trophy, I highly recommend a boosting partner
as this will make some of the trophies much easier.
82. TEKKEN Tag Tournament HD – This is one of the easiest Beat ‘em Up games out there. Most of the
trophies can be unlocked while playing against yourself. For some trophies it’s
recommended to have someone who assists you. Entering commands on 2 controllers
at the correct time can be a bit tricky.
83. The Little Acre – A Point & Click. As usual, follow a guide and you can complete it
within a few hours.
84. ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS (US version) – see 81
That’s it
for today. Next time will be the last “Summing Up the Past” post. Afterwards I’ll
post every time I get a new Platinum Trophy and will get a little bit more into
detail of the games.
Yours,
