Platinum #208: Guardians of the Galaxy

Hey there!

Man, as a huge Marvel fan I was really waiting until all episodes of this game have been released so that I can finally play it. And I tell you, it was worth waiting.

What is the game all about?

As the name implies, the game is about Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot, the so-called Guardians of the Galaxy. The game follows the same spirit of the movies but isn't connected with them. The jokes are good and the music is just awesome. It’s not as good as the movies but if you liked them, you’ll also enjoy this game. Just like any other Telltale game, it comes in 5 episodes and in each you learn more about the backstory of one Guardian. You’ll also meet / fight some well-known characters like Nebula or the infamous Thanos. I don’t want to spoil too much of the story but be prepared for guarding the galaxy. ;-) By the way, one doesn't simply leave the game before the credits of episode 5 are over!

What about trophies?

It’s a Telltale game so you don’t have to worry much about trophies. Simply play through all 5 episodes to unlock its Platinum Trophy. The choices you make have any high impact on the story but they don’t affect he trophies. The cool thing about the trophies is, that every trophy is called like a more or less famous song.

Where can I get this game?

Guardias of the Galaxy is available in the PSN store as well as a physical copy. Unless you’re a collector, it’s not worth getting the physical version. The digital version is on sale regularly and you can get it for 50% off or more. If you need PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

Yes, and this is true or any other Telltale game. It’s very easy and most of the time the game plays out on its own, giving you time to do something else. I for myself was playing Hatoful Boyfriend and Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse – Episode 1 on my Vita while playing / watching Guardians of the Galaxy.

100% #48: Hatoful Boyfriend

Hey there!

As announced, I’ll also post about 100% games from now on. The first game I want to write about is Hatoful Boyfriend, which has been free for PS+ members recently.

What is the game all about?

Hatoful Boyfriend is the weirdest Otome (Visual Novel) games I’ve played so far. In this game, you must you’re a girl who attends school and dates birds. Yes, birds!  There are various choices and endings in this game. If you managed to get all endings, you’ll be able to play through the so-called BBL ending, which is very long compared to the other endings. In my opinion, the whole game is completely bullshit!

What about trophies?

Basically, all you need to do is reaching all different endings. There are 14 different endings, which take about 10-15 minutes each. After that you’ve access to the BBL ending. This playthrough takes much much longer and is the most annoying trophy in the game. If I’m not completely wrong, this playthrough took me about an hour on the Vita. Maybe text skipping is faster on PS but I can’t say for such.

If you want to get the game done as quickly as possible (what I highly recommend), use the guide found on playstationtrophies.org.

Where can I get this game?

Hatoful Boyfriend is only available on the PSN store. It’s costs only a few EUR / USD and it’s cross-buy with PS4 and Vita. But there’s only one trophy stack. If you need PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

No, the game is just not worth it. Even if it’s cheap or you got it for free, don’t play it. It’s just annoying. If you’re really interested in dating birds, you might wanna try out Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star. It’s less annoying and can be completed much faster.

Hard Facts:

System(s):                                          PS4 + Vita

Trophies:                                            0P, 0G, 2S, 15B

Points:                                                285

Trophy Stacks:                                   1

Difficulty:                                            2/10 (with guide)

Time to 100%:                                    4-5 hours (with guide)

Number of Playthroughs:                   15

Fun Factor:                                         1/10

Summing Up the Past #10: The 100% Games

Hey there!

Wow, I never thought that I’d ever make one of these posts again. Seem like I was wrong. As I’m going to play a few 100% games in the near future, I thought it might also be worth talking about them.

What are 100% games?

The only difference between 100% games and “normal” PlayStation games is, that 100% games don’t have a Platinum Trophy. And in general, they have much lesser points. Typically, in every 100% game you can get 285-315 points – with a few exceptions. This is very low, if you compare it to games which have a Platinum Trophy, as there you can usually get 1140-1230 points.

Just because they don’t have a Platinum Trophy it doesn’t necessarily mean that these games are cheaper, easier and / or shorter. In fact, there are a few 100% games available which require more skills and take a lot more time to complete than many Platinum games.

And just because they’re only worth a few points it doesn’t mean that it’s not worth going for them. There are also many 100% games available which can be completed in a few minutes. So, if you take 5 quick and easy 100%er, each worth 300 points, you’ll end up at 1500 points, which is more than you can achieve with a Platinum game. It’s always worth to also think about the points you can unlock with one game if you want to climb up the ladder in the leaderboards.

Which 100% games have I played in the past?

Now I’ll give you a short overview of the 100% games I’ve completed in the past. I’ll also say a few words to every game. 

1. Monopoly Plus – Very easy game which can be easily boosted by playing against yourself.
2. Monopoly Deal – Also very easy but you need a boosting partner as can be played online only.
3. Grow Home – This game was free for PS+ members once in 2015. The game is pretty easy but takes a few hours.
4. The Playroom – This game, as well as all of its add-ons, is free for everyone. But you need to consider that you need the PlaysStation Camera as well as a smart phone / tablet. The Ninja-Bots DLC has one trophy which is difficult if you’re playing alone but easy when playing multiplayer.
5. Gone Home – Another game which for once free for PS+ members. Short and easy.
6. Welcome Park – This game is pre-installed on every Vita. It’s a collection of mini-games in which the functions of the Vita will be explained. Not that hard at all.
7. Aabs Animals (PS3 Version) – One of the easiest games ever. It only needs 315 seconds to complete this game and all you need to do is to start the game and watch the trophies pop. It’s available as a bundle with the Vita version, which has its own stack.
8. Virtua Fighter 2 – A fighting game. Pretty easy if you follow a guide.
9. 電脳戦機バーチャロン – A gundam game which is only available in the Japanese store. Pretty easy if you follow a guide.
10. Virtua Striker – An easy football (soccer) game. Only available in the Japanese store.
11. Aabs Animals (Vita Version) – see 7
12. New Paint Park – A Vita game which is easy and for free on the PSN store.
13. Arcade Archives: Nova 2001 – Most of the games from the Arcade Archives series are pretty easy. In most cases, you just need to enter the options and set a high-score.
14. Arcade Archives: Ninja Kid – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
15. Arcade Archives: Ninja Kid 2 – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
16. Arcade Archives: Cosmo Police Galivan – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
17. Arcade Archives: Crazy Climber – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
18. Arcade Archives: Exerion – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
19. Arcade Archives: Double Dragon – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
20. Arcade Archives: Moon Cresta – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
21. Arcade Archives: Butasan – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
22. NBA 2K17: The Prelude – This game is for free on the PSN store. It acts as an introduction to NBA 2K17. Easy, short and fund.
23. ドリームクラブ ホストガール　オンステージ – Only available in the Japanese PSN store. You should get it as it is for free and all you need to do is to watch some girls dancing.
24. Actual Sunlight (EU Version) – Another game which was free for PS+ members. Very short but depressive story. There’s also an NA version but since it’s for the Vita, there’s no stacking possible.
25. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue – A Tekken game which comes for free with Tekken Tag Tournament HD.
26. The Walking Dead: Season 2 (PS4 Version) – A typical Telltale game. All you need to do is completing the game. It will take you 8 hours but the story is worth it. There are also versions for PS3 and Vita available which have its own stacks. It’s a shame that this game doesn’t have a Platinum Trophy!
27. Act It Out! A Game of Charades – Another game which can be easily boosted and completed by playing against yourself.
28. Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star – A very weird and short Otome (Visual Novel). Can be completed by using a guide and skipping through the in around 1 hour.
29. Tales of Monkey Island – Chapter 1 Launch of the Creaming Narwhal - A point a click developed by Telltale. Every chapter will take 1-1.5 hours by using a guide. The bundle is on sale regularly and definitively worth a buy.
30. Tales of Monkey Island – Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay – see 29
31. Tales of Monkey Island – Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan – see 29
32. Tales of Monkey Island – Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood – see 29
33. Tales of Monkey Island – Chapter 5: Rise of the Pirate God – see 29
34. Arcade Archives: Shusse Ozumo – Definitively the easiest game from this series.
35. Arcade Archives: The Legend Of Kage – One of the harder games of this series but not impossible.
36. Arcade Archives: Double Dragon II The Revenge – Easy but setting a high-score is a little bit annoying.
37. The Walking Dead: Season 2 (PS3 Version) – see 26
38. The Walking Dead: Season 2 (Vita Version) – see 26
39. ビビッドレッド・オペレーション あかねとマヨっとオペレーション！ - Only available in the Japanese PSN store but definitively worth getting. All you need to do is putting some sauces on some dished. Sound weird, right?
40. Deliriant – Very cheap and can be completed within a few minutes.
41. Arcade Archives: Ikki – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
42. Arcade Archives: City Connection – Enter the options, set a high-score. That’s it.
43. detuned – This game is hard to describe but very easy. Just follow a guide.
44. Leaving Lyndow – A short but very nice adventure.
45. NBA 2K18: The Prelude – Another free and very easy prelude but be warned, 2 trophies are missable and you can’t replay the prelude after the latest patch. In case you missed them, you need to by NBA 2K18 to replay the prelude.
46. It’s Spring Again (EU Version) – A very cheap and very easy game as it is designed for kids. Can be completed within a few minutes by setting auto-mode to ON. There’s also an NA version but since it’s for the Vita, there’s no stacking possible.
47. MLB 13 The Show: Home Run Derby Edition – A very easy game with only 4 trophies. All you need to do is to hit a few home runs. Only available in the NA store.

 After going through this list, I must admit that I’m really surprised that I’ve already completed 47 100%er. I thought this list will be much shorter.

In case you want to play some of the region specific game but don’t know how to set-up an account in a different region, check out this video by my buddy IBadDriverI. Everything is explained in detail. If you need Japanese PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

Platinum #207: My Name is Mayo (Vita Version)

Hey there!

Finally, My Name is Mayo has been released in the EU PSN store, or at least in most of the European countries, and I could play this game on my PlayStation Vita.

What is the game all about?

For everyone who doesn’t know this infamous game, it’s considered as the easiest Platinum Trophy of all times by many players. There’s literally no story. All you must do is clicking a jar of mayo 10,000 times! Okay, sometimes you must switch the “outfit” of the jar but that’s it.

What about trophies?

As already mentioned above, all you must do is clicking at the mayo jar 10,000 times. At the beginning, you must switch “outfits” every 10-500 clicks to unlock trophies and proceed with the “story” but from 5,000 clicks onwards you just keep clicking. Reaching 10,000 clicks will be a relief for your thumb and reward you with a new Platinum Trophy. The whole game shouldn’t take you more than 30-60 minutes.

If you play the PS4 version, a turbo controller would be a great help. A turbo controller would preserve your thumb and would also speed-up the process a little bit.

In case you really need a guide, you could find one on psnprofiles.com and playstationtrophies.org.

Where can I get this game?

My Name is Mayo is already available in the NA PSN store for a while and has been released in most of the EU PSN stores recently. This means that everyone can play the PS4 versions but for the Vita version you need to have the game available the store of the account you want to play it with. If you don’t know how to set-up an account for a different region, check out this video by my buddy IBadDriverI. Everything is explained in detail. If you need Japanese PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

I’d consider this game as a must have for each trophy hunter. It’s cheap, short and easy, and in the best case, you can get 2 Platinum Trophies. In case the game hasn’t been released in your region, you should at least buy the PS4 version from a PSN store in which it has been releases (NA, AT, UK…).

Yours,

AvengedEvil

Platinum #206: The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk (EU Version)

Hey there!

This year, I already played both versions of The Inner World (EU + NA). I hated every second of this game and I thought it couldn’t get worse. Oh boy, I was teached a lesson. The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk is even worse than its prequel.

What is the game all about?

You continue the story of flute-nose Robert, the last wind monk. The game catches up the story from its prequel and you’ll find yourself back in Asposia. Here you must solve typical Point & Click puzzles to advance with the story. The design and mechanics of The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk are exactly the same is in the first game. If you enjoyed The Inner World, you’ll also like this game. If you hated its predecessor, like me, or don’t like Point & Clicks in general, it’s better to not buy this game.

What about trophies?

The trophies are the same as in The Inner World. You must beat the game without using any hints, do some random shit and talk start a new game in which you make us of hints. There one trophy called “Blabbermouth” which requires you to talk with all NPCs within this game. This trophy has been glitched in both versions (yes, there’s also a NA version available), but has been patched recently. If you want to use a guide, I recommend the video walkthrough by my buddy IBadDriverI. Following this video, you should be able to unlock all trophies within 2-3 hours.

Where can I get this game?

The EU version can be bought in the EU PSN store and the NA version can be bought in the NA PSN store. If you don’t know how to set-up an account for a different region, watch out this video by my buddy IBadDriverI. Everything is explained in detail. If you need Japanese PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

You can also buy the game physically in every well sorted game store. But you need to consider that you’ll only get the specific version in your region. If you want to have both versions physically, you can order them at play-asia.com.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

It’s a very easy but annoying game. If you haven’t played its prequel (The Inner World) yet, you might wanna try out The Inner World first. It gives you a good idea about what you will be up to in The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk but can be completed in lesser time. If you just wanna try out a Point & Click, don’t buy this game. There are way better games of this genre out there. The only good thing about The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk is that it has 2 trophy lists. If you play them back-to-back, you’ll be for sure faster the second time.

Platinum #205: Tear -終わりとはじまりの雫-

Hey there!

Tear -終わりとはじまりの雫- AKA Tear -Owari To Hajimari No Shizuku- is currently the cheapest available Visual Novel for PS4.

What is the game all about?

This game is a typical Visual Novel and offers everything this genre has to offer. There’s a weird story, guys with big guns, girls in bikinis, a lot of different endings and of course, a VR experience. Wait, what? A Visual Novel which requires the PlayStation VR Headset? Worry not, the VR element of this game is just a joke. A few times during the game you’ll find yourself in a “VR world” where you need to walk around and look at some white glowing circles. That’s all! The rest of the game is just text skipping.

What about trophies?

You’ll unlock trophies while progressing through the game and reaching different kind of endings. What’s specific for this game is that you’ll also unlock a trophy every time you finish one of the “VR” levels. The game is really easy and can be completed within a few hours. All you must do is to reach all available endings for each level. There are a lot of levels but they are very short and mostly have only one choice (answer A or B). It’s possible to beat this game without even without being able to understand Japanese. If you want to use a guide, I recommend the video walkthrough by my buddy IBadDriverI. Following this video, you should be able to unlock all trophies within 1 hour.

Where can I get this game?

To get Tear -終わりとはじまりの雫- you need to head over to the Japanese PSN store. It’s the only store where it is available and costs 1,620 Yen. If you’ve ever bought any Visual Novel before, you know that this is very cheap. If you don’t know how to set-up a Japanese account, watch out this video by my buddy IBadDriverI. Everything is explained in detail.

If you need Japanese PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

Yes, for fucks sake! It’s super easy, can be completed within an hour and is also the cheapest Visual Novel for PS4 which is currently available. Go get it!

AvengedEvil

Platinum #204: CROSS†CHANNEL ～For all people～ (PS3 Version)

Hey there!

After Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom I spend a few days in completing Driveclub. Driveclub was my first Platinum Trophy ever but I never found the time to finish the DLCs. Finally, it’s done and I could return to my Visual Novel backlog.

What is the game all about?

CROSS†CHANNEL ～For all people～ is like any other Visual Novel. And just like in any other Visual Novel, I was simply skipping through the game. Thus, I can’t say much about the story. The only thing I’ve noticed is that you’re a girl who seems to be trapped in some kind of time warp. You relive the same day over and over again.

What about trophies?

The game offers a trophy lists which is typically for Visual Novels. There are a lot of trophies which are based on the decision you make and, of course, there are also trophies for getting 100% music / scene / album and for reaching the true end. What’s different is that there is this one super-annoying trophy for which you must press O 10,000 times. This means that you just can’t simply skip through the game. You must skip a lot text manually! Only after this has been done you can let the game run on auto-mode. 10,000 clicks are a lot and if you want to do yourself a favor, you get yourself a turbo controller. With such a controller, you can simply hold down O instead of repeatedly pressing it. If you’re playing the Vita version, which has its own stack, you’re screwed. There’s no way around than pressing 10,000 times manually.

There’s a great guide on ps3imports.com, which will help you a lot in beating this game in the most efficient way. The only thing you need to consider when using a turbo controller is, that the 10,000 clicks trophy will unlock much earlier than mentioned in this guide.

Where can I get this game?

The easier and faster way to get the PS3 version is the Japanese PSN Store. For this you need a Japanese account and 6,480 Yen. If you don’t know how to set-up a Japanese account, watch out this video by my buddy IBadDriverI. Everything is explained in detail. If you need Japanese PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

In case you prefer physical over digital versions, you can buy this game at play-asia.com or solarisjapan.com. The game is cheaper there but you must consider transport costs and import taxes from Japan to the country you live in.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

There are way easier Visual Novels for PS3 out there (e.g. Steins;Gate, マブラヴ photonflowers*…). I’d recommend getting one of these games instead of CROSS†CHANNEL ～For all people～. Not only because of the 10,000 clicks but also because of the length of this game. You might end up somewhere at 4-5 hours.

Platinum #203: Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom

Hey there!

It has been a while since the last time I played a game developed by Artifex Mundi. Soon after starting the game I realized why. Because I hate Hidden Objective Puzzles.

What is the game all about?

Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom is like any other game published by Artifex Mundi. It’s a Point & Click, in which you also need to solve a few mini-games and some Hidden Objective Puzzles (HOP). In case you don’t know what a HOP is: It’s a picture in which you can see a lot of different items and your task is to find specific ones. The game has the same graphical style and offers the same mechanics as other games by this publisher (Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink, Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride, Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart…). There’s also a story but as in any other Artifex Mundi game, it’s negligible.

What about trophies?

The good thing about this game is, you can unlock all trophies within one playthrough. To do so, you must beat the game on expert and you need to look out for the missable trophies like picking up all collectibles or completing all HOPs without using any hints. You shouldn’t have any issues doing so if you follow the great guide on trueachievements.com. It’s a detailed walkthrough with which you should be able to finish the game within 2-3 hours.

Where can I get this game?

This game is only available at the PSN store for a 9.99€ / 9.99$. It’s also frequently on sale so you may want to wait a little bit in case you want so save some money. As far as I know, it’s available in all regions. Just be aware that all regions share the same trophy list. This means, there’s unfortunately no stacking possible.

If you need PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

Basically, any Artifex Mundi game is worth playing if you’re out for an easy Platinum Trophy. The advantage of Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom is, that you can unlock all trophies within one playthrough, which shouldn’t take more than 2-3 hours with using the above-mentioned guide. This and Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink are worth a try.

Platinum #202: Butter & Friends: Babysitter Sim

Hey there!

Like babysitting? No? Me neither, but as a trophy hunter I had to play this game. Even though I was procrastinating for a while.

What is the game all about?

In Butter & Friends: Babysitter Sim you must look out for some babies. Their parents are gone and it’s your duty that their babies are safe upon the parents return. You must hinder the babies from exiting the house and watch out for abductors. If one baby exits the house or will be kidnapped by an abductor, it’s game over. The game offers no real story. You start with one baby and will unlock more, every time you successfully babysit.

What about trophies?

This game is quite simple in regards of trophies and can be completed within a couple of hours. Most of the trophies will unlock naturally while unlocking all babies. But there are a few trophies which can give you a hard time. The most pain-in-the-ass trophy is called “Can’t Touch This”. To unlock this trophy, you must successfully babysit without any of the abductors every grabbing the baby. I recommend going for this trophy first. There’s also a trophy for babysit with 4 players. Even though it’s much easier doing this trophy with 3 friends, you also do it with one controller. This way it may be a little bit harder and might take some tries.

If you’re looking for a trophy guide or more detailed information, had over to playstationtrophies.com. This guide was a great help for me.

Where can I get this game?

This game is only available at the PSN store for a few EUR / USD. As far as I know, it’s available in all regions. Just be aware that all regions share the same trophy list. This means, there’s unfortunately no stacking possible.

If you need PSN cards, you can buy them here. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

It’s a very cheap game and can be completed within a short amount of time. Thus, I’d recommend this game to every trophy hunter. Maybe you can play it together with one of your buddies. It won’t be more fun but some trophies would definitively easier.

Yours,

AvengedEvil
