Platinum 183 is tales of xillia. First tales game I’ve gotten a platinum on. Almost makes me want to go and do another play of the second one

Game 11 for the year is xenogears. It only took 25 years and 3 separate playthroughs to finally beat that thing. Really enjoyed disc 1 but disc 2 had me super confused and lost

Game 10 for the year is the suikoden 1 remaster. Been at least 20 years since my last playthrough and still loved every minute of it. Really enjoyed all the new portraits and the world map. Started the second one and so far I can’t tell a difference between it and the original release

Platinum 182 and game 9 for the year is burnout paradise remastered. Liked it well enough but my data corrupted close to the end and I had to essentially play the whole thing twice.

First time making it to disc 2 in xenogears in maybe 24ish years and the switch to just pure narration from gameplay is still just as jarring

It’s so great to see suikoden getting so much love. A new mobile game and an anime adaption of 2?! I was already super happy with 1 and 2 getting remastered, I feel like I’m winning the lottery with all the other stuff

Aw man this one hurts. I grew up watching that show and still quote it regularly. Time to give that series another run through in honor of him and c martin croker being gone now

Game 8 for the year is avengers on the capcom arcade cabinet. Not THE avengers just avengers. Good god that game was janky but at least it was short. At least I’m slowly knocking games off this collection for the non platinum it offers

Game 7 for the year is the thing remastered. My friend and I rented it when it first came out and never beat it. We’d always quote an npc who was always needing more ammo as an inside joke. Wish he was here to see me beat it finally.

Game 6 for the year is double dragon advance. First one of that series I’ve ever beaten and honestly, wasn’t my kind of brawler. At least it was way better than the nes version

Platinum 181 is dark souls 3. And with that the entire trilogy is platinumed!! If you had told me 5 years ago I was going to be able to do this idve laughed in your face. A tiny part of me is saying “you still need to do the first one on ps3…” but I’m dark souls’d out for a while

Game 5 for the year and platinum 180 is twisted metal 2. Way better than the first one so I can see how people held it in high regard. Still prefer vigilante 8 myself though

Game 4 for the year is dark souls 3. Now just gotta do the other runs for the 2 other endings

Looking forward to see it it tastes as good as I remember it being. Still wish ecto cooler would come back though…

Game 3 for the year and platinum 179 is adventure time pirates of the enchiridion. Kind of a meh game but adventure time always gives me a smile

Game 2 for the year is phoenix wright ace attorney. I’d always known of this series but never played it before. Definitely not a game type that falls within what I tend to play but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The goofy animations and ridiculous twists had me laughing

Wow this is really hard! I’d very grudgingly go with Chrono trigger, final fantasy 6, mega man x and turtles in time, but I am none too happy about it

Game 1 for the year is Zelda echoes of wisdom. I’m not really sure where to place it on my overall Zelda enjoyment chart. Loved the gameplay for it but thought the plot was kinda meh. Main villain didn’t really catch my interest but thought the final fight was fantastic. It’s a weird one for me

Gaming goals for this year: 1. Finally finish xenogears, been on my backlog for 25 years now 2. Finally play a persona game, but no idea which one. 3. Knock out either tales of arise or berseria 4. Finish dragon quest 7 on the 3ds, if I can find my charging cable for it 5. Get up to 200 platinums

I remember staying up till midnight playing metal gear solid vr missions waiting to see if the y2k event would happen. I said if everything goes out I’m going out doing what I loved. In hindsight I wonder why the heck I picked that one. Hard to believe it’s already been a quarter century since then.

Game for the year is yakuza kiwami 2. The latter half of the game seemed to just fly by but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Unless I get lucky with Zelda I think this might just round out the year for me for games

Platinum 178 is dark souls 2. So glad I could get this one done to end the year out. After getting my save file corrupted in the beginning of the year I didn’t think id be able to bear going through it all again, but I’m glad I did

Not too bad!

Turned on my ps5 to the very welcome surprise of it being the old ps1 boot up screen and sounds. That was very badass!

Platinum 177 is the division. Glad to finally be done with that one and its accursed multiplayer required trophies.

Just saw the trophy logs for legacy of kain blood omen 1 and 2 and I am psyched!! Can’t wait to give that series another run through
