| Topic | Platinum #44: Bioshock Infinite (PS4) |
| Bartzyx 11/19/18 11:25:41 AM #1 | I played this game back when it was first released, but it was not until the PS4 release that I decided to go for the platinum trophy. It's a fun game and really neat to play again for so long. I have trouble saying if it is better than the other Bioshock games. It has stronger characters and better pacing but the gameplay is not really anything new or exciting. It does help that Elizabeth is better than anything in those games. 1999 mode was not hard, really. It is way too easy to abuse the most powerful gear (winter shield lol) and vigors (undertow or bronco+devil's kiss) in the late game fights to make them completely trivial. But the game in general is easier than the others, I think. The Burial at Sea DLC is totally shit and was very disappointing after Minerva's Den. It's basically fan fiction in my eyes and poorly conceived at that. Bad mechanics too. --- No more k for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vAyJ5r_20 |

| Topic | Platinum #43: inFAMOUS (spoilers) |
| Bartzyx 11/10/18 2:10:02 PM #1 | I had put off playing this game for years (I think I bought the disc back in 2012) but I finally started it a month or so ago and am happy that I did. It's a pretty good game. The platinum was reasonable, too. I remember at the time it came out there were lots of comparisons between this game and Prototype. After playing both, I think Infamous is better, but not by a whole lot. Both games have different strengths and both have good ideas that were carried forward into more modern open world games. Infamous has aged much much better in terms of gameplay. I was initially disappointed at the lack of fast travel, but the game world is small enough that there are only a few points where that hindered my experience. Sucker Punch used the limited scope to pack in much more detail than you would expect to see back in 2009. The game world is crammed with side missions and collectables, and although they did not make collecting everything as easy as they should have, for the time the radar ability on L3 was very neat. I did my first normal playthrough infamous, then did hero on hard. Neither was overly difficult, but I died my fair share of times. The story was fine, but the time travel twist was a little cliche. It's also a bit of a let down that many of the moral choices result in the same outcome, but since you can go between good and evil at any time, they probably could not allow for many story permutations. The infamous ending was a little weird because I felt like Cole was more of a dick than an outright monster. Suddenly he's pure evil. I am guessing that some of the loose story threads will be addressed in the sequel? I might start that up soon because I had a very good time with the first game. It will be neat to see how the gameplay and presentation evolves. How did you all like this game? I know a lot of people here have played it. --- No more k for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vAyJ5r_20 |

| Bartzyx 11/06/18 11:24:54 PM #3 | Oh one of the things that frustrated me a lot was the Faceoff game mode because of the blatant rubber band AI.

| Bartzyx 11/06/18 11:03:44 PM #1 | This is the first real racing game I've played in 15+ years (I do not count Trackmania). I have never really liked racing games but I wanted to try one out to see if anything had changed. Still not really my genre. But the game was free on PS+ a few years ago so it was risk-free to try it out. I am bad at racing games. After this plat, I think I am slightly less bad. The single player campaign was interesting and very challenging for me, and it forced me to improve. As someone who doesn't really know how to play these games, it does not really give you much of a tutorial, but I figured things out. The platinum required me to play around 50 online races. That sucked. The online for this game is pretty dead (game is 5 years old) and mostly dominated by players who have tens of thousands of races. There also are a lot of glitches that made the experience more tedious than it should have been. But my number one complaint about the online is the players. They love to ram and cause pile-ups and it makes the racing suck. I recently played Trackmania Turbo and I think that is as far into the racing/driving genre as I care to go. The time trials are fun but I do not enjoy racing against other cars. As to why I got the platinum if I do not like racing games, well it was an easy one except for the online grinding. Once I got close, I just stuck it out. --- No more k for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vAyJ5r_20 |
