2. Beat a game released between 1990-1999

Grim Fandango Remastered

The game was originally released in 1998, and I'm going to count it here.

46/50

I sure had a lot of these point and click adventure games in my backlog, here's another one for the pile. It's probably the best one I've played this year.

The platinum is interesting, too. Putting aside the tank controls trophy, the platinum forces you to get a lot of the extra dialogue available in the game and it's actually worth it to go through and hear all the spoken dialogue. Then there's the tank controls trophy that makes you feel like you're playing a game from back in the 90s. I'm not a fan of it as Tim Schafer apparently is, though. Sadly the port isn't as good as it could be - I lost my progress at a point in Year 4 where my last save file was in Year 2 so I had to play through half of the game again. Luckily that only wasted two and a half hours.

This was one of the games I had originally in my polls to pick my next platinum a long time ago. I plan to play all of the games in that poll to completion soon; this is a step in that direction.

Having actually played After Years, Palom actually tries to redeem himself in it and I actually don't hate him anymore after playing through his route. Porom, however, is useless as always.

38. Beat a game you'd dropped or had a long hold on

Her Story

It wasn't my idea to drop it, but I had to - I tried playing a year ago and my computer couldn't run the game. However, I finally had a chance to go through it today. I wasn't too impressed with it overall, but the story was interesting enough to have me watch all the clips.

Dang, interesting. Our championship is draft picks 2 and 3 (bell and mccoy). #1 was of course DJ and that guy only won 2 games.

My starting lineup this week has 4 players I drafted.

well, at least I outdid that guy after drafting DJ #1

I started HSG:WI PS3 to get the one online trophy as the online service goes down today. I do want to play through it at some point so I thought that I might as well grab it while I have the chance.

https://www.truetrophies.com/game/Wheels-of-Aurelia/trophies?gamerid=5963

A pretty interesting visual novel/racing hybrid. Wheels of Aurelia tells the story of Lella as she drives up through Italy towards France while talking to the hitchhikers and other characters she meets along the way, as well as partaking in a few races on the way up. Due to the branching paths and race outcomes there's sixteen total endings in all. While that seems like a lengthy task, the game itself is about fifteen minutes long per route and chapter 1 can be skipped after reaching each of the two destinations in it once. Even with this, chapter 2 will have to be played many times and there's only three variations of it so some of the dialogue will get repeated way too much. Hearing all the dialogue, though, shows some interesting sides of the characters you meet and some dialogue options only appear if you pick certain answers. Despite some of the repeated dialogue it lends itself well to multiple play throughs. Even if you're rubbish at racing games, it's still not hard to win any of the races in the game (and you need to lose some to unlock new cars and endings). The platinum only requires picking up all the hitchhikers, unlocking all the cars, getting all the endings, and staying silent through a full play through; all of these should come naturally through just playing the game.

It was a good use of four hours and the $2 I paid on PSN. It's in the holiday PSN sale now and will probably be discounted in the Steam sale, so if you're interested pick it up.

I really should try to find a short game with revenge as a central theme, then maybe I can complete mine too.
