@crimsontadpoles Third!!! I think that must be a record for me. Seems like I got lucky with some answers like Serious Sam and Skyrim too, as I truly had no idea and have never played those games. Thanks for the quiz!
If no one else was hoping to do next week, I'd be happy to do it.
We begin the quiz with a short group of trivia questions. Each correct answer is worth 1 point. Just 5 points here, but it could mean the difference between victory or defeat!
1. 2020 has undoubtedly been the year of delays. Can you name at least 6 games that were delayed at least once this year?
2. The developers of indie darling Firewatch, Campo Santo, haven't released a game since their debut. Do you know what happened to them?
3. We got a fist look at the next-gen Ratchet & Clank game at the PS5 reveal. Do you remember how many worlds Ratchet visited in the demo?
4. The Telltale brand was able to rise from the dead when a new company took a hold of it, and is currently working on The Wolf Among Us 2. However, there is one project they have already released. What was new-Telltale's first release?
5. The Last of Us 2 received a lot of criticism over its inclusion of a transgender character. What other game this year features a transgender character in a prominent role?
ROUND 2 - Quote Conundrum
For this round, I need to know what character said what quote and in which game they said it. You will get one point for the name of the character, and one for mentioning the correct game. The game should be specific, as just mentioning the franchise will not result in any points. Total of 16 points up for grap here!
1. "Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and asks the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer."
2. "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world."
3. "Good men mean well. We just don’t always end up doing well."
4. "What is a man but the sum of his memories? We are the stories we live, the tales we tell ourselves."
5. "It's easy to forget what a sin is in the middle of a battlefield."
6. "Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost."
7. "I've struggled a long time with surviving, but no matter what you have to find something to fight for."
8. "The hardest battles are fought in the mind, not with the sword."
ROUND 3 - Troublesome Trailers
In this final round, you'll be listening to a video featuring a total of twelve ten second(-ish) fragments of audio taken from video game trailers. Each clip has its own designated number, and your aim is to answer as many of the correct games with the right number as you can! Since this is probably the hardest round, you will receive two points for each correct answer. That means there's 24 points up for grabs! See the link below:
That's it! In total there are 45 available points. I'll be closing the quiz somewhere Monday afternoon/evening. Good luck!
@Tjuz Now this is an excellent quiz. I'm not going to do well on this one, but it sure is enjoyable.
ROUND 1 - Trivia Tangle
1. Cyberpunk 2077, Halo: Infinite, The Last Of Us 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, Far Cry 6, Ghost of Tsushima. I'm fairly sure about the first three, but the last three are just guesses.
2. Been working on a new game that's taking years to make perhaps?
3. 6. I'm guessing they warped around Metropolis a lot, so I went with a lower number than what my gut is telling me.
4. The Walking Dead Episode 5 maybe?
5. Can't remember. Would it be cheating to say Cyberpunk 2077 depending on what the player chooses during character customisation?
ROUND 2 - Quote Conundrum
1. Jim, Ghost of Tsushima. It's got to be GoT, surely. Jim's the only character name I know, though I doubt he said it.
2. Diane, Hitman 2. No idea where this quote is from, but it sounds annoyingly familiar.
3. Rathalos, Monster Hunter World
4. Dandelion, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
5. Random soldier, Call of Duty Modern Warfare
6. Kyoko Kirigiri, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. I don't recognise the quote, but the word "hope" has me suspecting that it might be from one of the Danganronpa games.
7. Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption 2
8. Senua, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
ROUND 3 - Troublesome Trailers
1. Destiny 2
2. Mass Effect Andromeda
3. Far Cry 6
4. Nier Automata
5. The Last Of Us 2
6. Resident Evil 3 Remake
7. The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor
8. Star Wars: Fallen Order
9. Days Gone
10. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
11. Cyberpunk 2077
12. Borderlands
It was very fun racking my brain trying to remember where the quotes and trailers were from. There's going to be a lot of "of course, I should have got that one" moments when I see the answers
I've spent some time pondering the quotes but think I've got all I'm going to, so here is my usual stab in the dark.
1. The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII, Halo Infinite and Avengers(?).
2. They were brought by Valve and helped out on Half-Life Alex. Hopefully they will get a chance to go back to the Egypt based game they started.
3. I remember the rail place, pirate ship type place, dragons and sci-fi city. I'll hope I didn't forget one and say 4 worlds.
4. I've played and enjoyed most of Telltale's stuff but this must have slipped me by.
5. I'm going to assume this in something I've not played as I can't remember anyone other than Lev so pass for this.
1. This I'm certain is Javik (hope that's spelled correct) the Prothean from Mass Effect 3.
7. This is definitely Joel but not totally certain if from the original or part 2, but got a felling it's The Last of Us 2.
8. Not certain but think this is Ghost of Tsushima, and going with Lord Shimura.
Unfortunately I have zip from the trailers.
At least that should be quick to score, good quiz though @Tjuz
1. The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs Legion, and DOOM Eternal
2. They were purchased by Microsoft, weren’t they?
3. I think we saw about 7 worlds (total guess)
4. The Walking Dead The Final Season
5. I can only think of Cyberpunk 2077 having the options to keep the gender of V fluid with “customizable genitals” so I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referring to
————
1. That was stated by a character in Mass Effect 3. I’m blanking on the character name.
2. Sounds like it’s from a Mafia game. Maybe Mafia 3.
3. Arthur Morgan from RDR2?
4. I think that’s an Assassin’s Creed 2 (? not sure on the entry) quote. I forget who said it.
5. Solid Snake in MGS1
6. Not sure — maybe something Final Fantasy?
7. Joel in The Last of Us
8. Sounds familiar but I’m not sure I remember.... Raiden in MGS2?
————
This section is tough! I’m just going to put down the first game that comes to mind. ...Kinda like a Rorschach test for audio clips:
1. Days Gone
2. Ratchet & Clank
3. Skyrim
4. Monster Hunter a World
5. Horizon Zero Dawn
6. Resident Evil 7
7. Final Fantasy 14
8. Alien Isolation
9. Mad Max
10. Far Cry Primal
11. Soul Calibur 6
12. Overwatch
Thanks for that quiz! Very enjoyable, although I feel pretty sure I didn’t score well.

ROUND 1 - Trivia Tangle
1. Last of us part 2, ghost of Tsushima, metroid prime 4, halo infinite, doom eternal for Nintendo switch, the outer worlds for switch (basically most switch ports lol) and just on case some of these are wrong I'll take a stab at crysis remastered and doom 64 for switch (delayed from Nov 19 to march 20) and uhh final fantasy 7 remastered officially but most people got their copies before the original release date anyway...
2. They got sucked into their own game, they still exist but digitally, constantly reliving the events of firewatch over and over again
3. I'm Gona guess at 27
4. Technically it was the rest of the walking dead the final season. I think the first episode came out before they folded and the rest of it came after. Also they've added random updates and rereleased the batman games
5. Woah spoilers! Somehow I've managed to miss that news but it shouldn't actually be a spoiler but I'm guessing since it wasn't in any spoiler free articles that I've read then it must be a spoiler! Anyway, the answer is Tell Me Why, we are still waiting for your thoughts on it in the pure Xbox game club thread!
ROUND 2 - Quote Conundrum
1. Mr. Pickleybum - For Honor
2. Mickey Mouse - Grand theft auto: Disney world

Thank you all for trying out the quiz! In hindsight, it may have been a little bit too hard... it's always hard to anticipate what is easy and hard to you gaming fanatics. Glad to see y'all still decided to give it a shot though, and on the bright side, the ridiculous difficulty of the quiz makes the results totally scattershot. Anyone can win! Without further ado, let's move on to the results. These were the answers:
ROUND 1
2. The developers of indie darling Firewatch, Campo Santo, haven't released a game since their debut. Do you know what happened to them? = I was looking for either Valve's acquisition or their work on Half-Life Alyx to be mentioned. I didn't count mentions of In the Valley of the Gods, because that's an incomplete summary of what is going on with them.
3. We got a fist look at the next-gen Ratchet & Clank game at the PS5 reveal. Do you remember how many worlds Ratchet visited in the demo? 6
4. The Telltale brand was able to rise from the dead when a new company took a hold of it, and is currently working on The Wolf Among Us 2. However, there is one project they have already released. What was new-Telltale's first release? Their first release was a Shadows edition of the Batman Telltale games.
5. The Last of Us 2 received a lot of criticism over its inclusion of a transgender character. What other game this year features a transgender character in a prominent role? This would be Dontnod's newest game, Tell Me Why. I didn't count games where you can optionally play as a transgender player, since people could choose not to have one in a prominent role there.

1. "Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and asks the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer." - Javik, Mass Effect 3

5. "It's easy to forget what a sin is in the middle of a battlefield." - Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid
6. "Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost." - Pandora, God of War 3
7. "I've struggled a long time with surviving, but no matter what you have to find something to fight for." - Joel, The Last of Us
8. "The hardest battles are fought in the mind, not with the sword." - Dillion, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Which means the winner is... @Kidfried with a grand total of 15 points!
Congratulations to Kidfried and thank you to everyone else for participating! The difficulty made for some very amusing answers nonetheless. I'll leave next week's quiz up in the open for anyone to claim, since I'm not quite sure who has and hasn't made on recently, but Kidfried's got dibs as our winner if he's up to it.
Some fun scoring facts:
Only one person managed to correctly answer the question about the Ratchet demo: crimsontadpoles!
Alien: Isolation was correctly mentioned as one of the trailers only once, by Th3solution, but was unfortunately put with the wrong number.
Four people were able to deduce Assassin's Creed as the fourth quote, but no one got either the character or name correctly.
Ghost of Tsushima was mentioned eight times, despite not making an appearance in the quiz.
The most recognised quotes were Javik's in ME3 and Joel's in TLOU.
Two people tried to cheat my system by mentioning Cyberpunk 2077 as the answer to the fifth trivia question!
The Dead Space 3 and God of War 3 quotes were the only ones no one was even able to get close to. Sucks to be a third entry in a franchise.
@Tjuz I've found it tricky with my goes doing the quiz to judge if it's too hard or not. At the end of the day we all on an equal footing regardless and it was a fun varied quiz. I never thought I'd be getting third (joint) when I submitted my answers, I think that equals my best. @RogerRoger seems to have mastered the art of second place, isn't that quite a few silver medals now?
@RogerRoger Haha, my god. I really am ridiculous. Of course that's what you meant with the Snaaaakee quote! For some reason I did not read it that way and just assumed you maybe meant Otacon said it. Never mind me, I'll give you your point retroactively.
@RogerRoger cheers for doing this! Nice quiz to raise our spirits but I still don't know how many answers I'll get!
Round 1:
1. Umm Los Angeles?
2. Umm d) topaz weapon
3. I'm going to go with true even if their combustion isn't exactly spontaneous as they have had loads of electricity pumping through them
Bonus 1:
4. A) Blaze the Cat
B) Ovi Kintobor
C) umm sonic the werehog?
D) ahhh someone from sonic riders I think, um Virgil the Canary?
Round 2:
5. Snowboarding
6.no idea, I'll go with Dam because I know that's definitely a Goldeneye level (shows how far I got in that game!)
7.False, you can kill him and he won't reappear in the same location but I believe he will still be at his other locations
Round3:
8. Not sure but I'm going to go with a willy
9. I'm going to go a) 9, I feel like there was a good 8 year run on PS3 before PS4 came out so i assume the later entries will be legacy editions
10. No idea so I'll go True
Bonus 2:
11. Track 1 = no idea, sonic lost world
Track 2 = don't know, Zelda the curse of the black pearl
Track 3= I don't know, blues brothers 2000 the movie the video game
Track 4=I also don't know, destiny 2 the foreskaen king
Round4:
12: damn I haven't played this yet but I understand it's a steampunk game so I will guess chimera and homonculi (or homonculus however you say it)
13. Don't know will go b)inkwell
14.duno True I guess!
1. San Francisco? I know it was in a later game.
2. Topaz Weapon would have been cool but alas, it's not in FF7.
3. I'm going to say true, as that sounds too silly to make up!
4. Blaze the Cat, Eggman Nega, Sonic the Werehog, Jet the Hawk. Dear lord, I know more about Sonic than I thought.
5. Snowboarding
6. Dam, I used to be absolutely terrified of the red room in that level. Creepy stuff.
7. I'm going to say false, I think you can kill him. Considering I beat the game without the scope for the regenerators, I'm not sure they plan for essential items in that way.
8. ...penis?
9. 10? I think 18 was the first one to be called Legacy Edition.
10. I think that's false, if you loot the item nearby it becomes hostile too. I may have learned that the hard way.
11. a) No clue, maybe Virginia?
b) Uncharted The Lost Legacy?
c) Nooope, Uncharted 3 perhaps?
d) Sounds Assassin's Creed to me so I'll say AC Unity.
12) Cutscene and QTE.
13) Blackwell Academy!
14) I think I'll say true!
Awesome. I'll give it my all, even though I'm not that great at these quizzes.
Round (PS)1
1) San Francisco. I'm just guessing here, but that would make a decent backdrop for a driving game. The only clips I've seen of Driver are from that infamous underground car park test mission, but there's no way to tell from that where it is.
2) Diamond Weapon. Minecraft has diamond weapons like pickaxes and that, so that's why I'm guessing they're not in FFVII.
3) True. Sure hope it's true at least.
BONUS 1: IDENTITY PARADE
4A) Fiona the Fox
4B) Eggman. He's in a crafty disguise
4C) Dark Sonic
4D) Pierce the Parrot
ROUND (PS)2
5) Time to guess a sport beginning with S or X, let's go with Soccer.
6) Dam. Not sure, but Dam is the usual GoldenEye level in these kinds of things.
7) False. I wouldn't put it past the developers to let you kill an essential NPC here.
ROUND (PS)3
8) Hands
9) b) Ten
10) False
BONUS 2: MUSICAL INTERLUDE
11) Track 1: Death Stranding
Track 2: Sea of Thieves
Track 3: Rayman Fiesta Run. I'm fairly sure this plays somewhere in it, but a smartphone game seems too obscure for this kind of question. I've not played Legend or Origin yet, so don't know if Fiesta Run borrowed some tracks from them.
Track 4: Mass Effect 2
ROUND (PS)4
12) Let's guess unicorn and succubus
13) c) Blackwell Academy
14) False
3 True! It's kind of horrifying for me to think about today, but when I was a kid, I took a sadistic glee in making my enemies writhe and burn.
4)
a) Rule34 bait
b) Robotnik's alter ego, Robby, who materializes after the character suffers from a severe mid-life crisis
c) Sonic the Werehog
d) Judging by the lack of pants, the facial expression, and the way he's posed, I'm going to dub him Rule 34 bait Mk II!
5) Snowboarding
6) Cradle? Never played either of those games
7) False. He just spawns somewhere else if you kill him. Who hasn't tried to kill him?
8) Never played this game in my life, but it has to be the statue's penis. It's the penis, right? It has to be the penis.
9) I'm going to guess Eleven, but there might as well be forty. I don't play sports games
10) True. Although I have to say, Ceaseless Discharge sounds like an alarming medical condition... or the less sexy alternative name for Bayonetta's highest difficulty setting
11) No idea
12) Werewolves and... half-werewolves?
13) Blackwell Academy
14) Not sure what an underboss is, but it sounds like something that deserves to die, so I'm going to say "true"
Excellent quiz as always, Rog.
