#185 Days Gone
18 days have gone since I got the first trophy. 58 hours. Lots of dead zombies scattered around Oregon. I enjoyed it more than I thought I might.

@DisastrousFalcon
Good stuff. Though if you've done the first three you may as well... And I think I skipped the brutal runs on all three as well -glad it wasn't needed for the shiny.
@sorteddan Great stuff. This was one of my favourite games from last gen yet when it was announced I thought "meh, another chase me chase me zombie game. Pass". Then those awful reviews went out and so I didn't play the game until the ps5 turned up.
I managed to get 100% in the game which is something because I hate score challenge modes in games but I pushed through it and you can too.
@DisastrousFalcon Congrats. Yeah I heard brutal is terribly unbalanced and frankly unplayable. I wish they had gone a slightly different way, crushing but with fewer items etc..
I haven't managed Brutal but if I ever do it then I will use the glitch to enable cheats.
My two platinums are..
Unpacking. I didn't like this game, it was tedious and boring...just like the real thing. The game has been very well received so perhaps it is more a me thing. 1/10 difficulty, 3 hours.
Saints row reboot. Now this game was not as bad as everyone makes out, the characters weren't as awful as shown in the previews and I did actually smile at some of the jokes.
The world is the star here but the last gen engine (probably actually prev prev gen) meant that pop in was bad and everything had a very early PS4 or even PS3 feel.
Story and missions were okay but some activity missions were painful and often required you to do it X number of times.
Enjoyment 6.5/10. 3/10 difficulty and about 35 hours.
Top tip...do not pick up any "discovery" collectibles until you find them all for a district. They disappear when picked up and so you won't know which you have picked up.
Second tip. If you see something with a purple metallic sheen then photograph it as it will help in the collectible run.
@DisastrousFalcon a nice hat trick. I’m slowly working my way through the trilogy myself (only plat’d the original so far but should make time for the second one soon) and have been surprised by how much I’m enjoying the franchise.
@sorteddan yeah Days Gone got such a bad rap that a lot of people decided not to give it a shot, which is a minor travesty… one of my favourite PS4 games!
@CaptD made short work of that (Saints Row that is), that’s some impressive efficiency.
@CaptD
Good to know you have faith in me 😁
But I'm not sure I'll bother going for the 100% - playing after the platinum feels a bit like running home after running the race. I'll keep it installed for a bit though in case I feel like going back.
Disappointed to hear your thoughts on Unpacking, probably the first negative thing I've heard about it. It's one of those I'd probably pick up for a few quid in a future sale. Better to hear you enjoyed the Saints Row reboot, I claimed it and will probably get to it later this year.
@colonelkilgore
Well then that makes at least three of us who really enjoyed Days Gone, hopefully some other visitors to this page will pick up on the love and give it a chance in future.

Call of the sea (on Extra).
Difficulty 1/10 and about 5 hours. A decent walking simulator broken up with puzzles. Easy platinum but game is full of missables.
Sniper ghost warrior contracts 2 (on Extra). Slight porkies here as I still have one trophy to go but it is a simple one to grind out challenges (whack 10 people with pistols etc..).
Difficulty 3/10. Enjoyment 7.5/10.
Really enjoyed this but very much a AA game with a few little glitches here and there. I didn't experience any crashes on ps5 version but people have mentioned it and that it has corrupted their save, so take frequent backups and turn off auto sync.
Fun platinum and a very underrated sniping game with the emphasis on sniping as detection will cause you issues and hilarity with people with deadeye aim over 2km away with their assault rifles but tbh it would break the game if that didn't happen...shooting fish in a barrel and all that.
Highly recommended if the genre is your bag.
Ha ha cheers guys.
Colonel, that is why I dislike subs because I feel "pressured" into playing them. I have games that I have bought over recent years but have put them in the backlog in order to play sub games. I'm getting better though as I downloaded The Quarry but have decided not to play it...multiple playthroughs required plus following a guide just doesn't make it enjoyable.
Annoyingly have one trophy left to get in both Tony Hawk and Enter the Gungeon, both of which are basically mega-grinds. Gungeon I need to beat certain bosses several times for the hunts, it’s a nightmare grinding the same floor hoping the boss shows up, never mind the luck of having the right guns to even beat it. Tony Hawk I need to get to level 100 which means a whole heap of grinding. I’ve done some crazy difficult challenges for the XP but still have ones like getting over 20 million in 2 minutes on Warehouse. Guess I’ll at least do the speedruns of levels, got a fair few of them left.
@nessisonett well done on getting that far on those, Tony Hawk in particular… I really need to go back to that myself at some point so thanks for reminding me.
Platinum #152 - 12 Minutes - nowhere near as clever or profound as it seems thinks it is but is different enough of an experience from the norm to be an interesting diversion.
Platinum #153 - Chicory: A Colourful Tale - delightful!
@nessisonett Close but no cigar. @colonelkilgore Good stuff. Yeah I've heard 12 mins isn't as good as people thought it would be.
And yeah Chicory is delightful, very well designed despite the crashes.
@AgentCooper aye I got a third (We Were Here Together) earlier in the month as it was co-op… and I couldn’t really ask my co-op partner to hold off on one of the trophies until the 1st October, though I did consider it 🤣
I rolled the credits on Inscryption a couple of nights ago.
A clever, weird, but enjoyable deck builder that really messes with you and the genre. The story is intentionally a bit vague but cleverly done too. It’s the first game on a while that I won’t be getting the plat for though as the Kaycee mod trophies are way too time consuming.
I gut gud for #64 - Inscryption
The Kaycee mod trophies are no joke, particularly the final one (Skull Storm) which requires you to finish with all difficulty modifiers on. It took me ages to get through the first boss for that one but the first time I did I managed to see it through to the end.
As someone who keeps claiming not to enjoy deck builders, I bloody loved this game.
@Thrillho
Excellent work bud.
It's great when a game can draw you in like that and make you keep at it. Hope to get around to it sometime myself - I've only heard good, but mostly vague, things about it.
