This Week in Trophies 06-05-2016 – 06-11-2016

I would say that this week I was finally able to get back into the game as I grew accustomed to my new schedule, which will probably change now that I’ve grown accustomed to it, and was able to schedule out more convenient times for me to play. I had an overall productive week and was pretty proud of my gaming accomplishments. Take a look and see just how far I progressed trophy wise on a few of the games I’ve been playing.

Table Top Racing: World Tour – 44%

Two more trophies to add to this game this week as I try to get as much done as possible. I will say that I rage quit a few times with those damn drifting challenges because for some reason I just can’t get them and they frustrate me, but every once in a while I go back after taking a break and pick up right where I left off. Even though I’m two steps closer to the platinum, there is still a long way to go.

Gone Home – 47%

I’ve been wanting to play this game for a while, but I could never really justify the price of the game for something that seemed pretty damn short depending on how you played. Anyway, I played through the game once and was surprisingly pleased with the overall story. What I’m not pleased about is that the Homerunner trophy is glitched. I’ve completed this game in under a minute multiple times, I know because I had someone time me, and this trophy still has not popped. I’ll go back and collect the rest of the trophies that I need for this game before seeing if this glitch can somehow be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling.

Minecraft: Story Mode – 76%

I had no intention of getting this DLC and I tried really hard to pass on it, but I’m a sucker for endings and I have to see how this game ends. I started and finished the entire 6th episode this week, and I’ll have my full review posted within the next couple of weeks.

Tropico 5 – 43%

I was finally able to get back into this game this week and it’s my plan to finish up with the main campaign and get all of those trophies before moving onto the multiplayer for the final trophies. I’m really really close to getting the platinum for this game and I’m looking forward to it since it’s probably one of the more challenging games that I’ve played in a while.

That’s it for this week. I would say that it was a pretty nice week when it came to trophies as I was able to get a bunch of different trophies for a bunch of different games that have been sitting on my system while also getting to play a new game as well. For next week, I’ll continue to work on Mass Effect 2, as I’m almost done with the game thanks to my full day of playing, continue to play Tropico 5, Table Top Racing: World Tour, and Gone Home. I’ll also try to get a couple of other games in that I’ve been itching to get back to like Dying Light and something else that I’m not sure about yet. I’ll let you know how things worked out next week.

This Week in Trophies 05-29-2016 – 06-04-2016

I was finally able to do some gaming this week, granted it wasn’t a lot of gaming but compared to last week at least it was something. I have to say though after a week absence from the whole gaming scene, it felt nice to jump right back in where I left off to discover that everything was still basically the same, oh and on that note I will probably never be playing the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer again. Moving on, here are the trophies that I got for the week.

Fallout 4 – 89%

I finally finished the new Far Harbor DLC this week, my review will be up within the next couple of weeks, and I was even able to pick up a few of the trophies for crafting that I was missing for the main game. In my case it was a win-win situation as now I only need a few more precious trophies to get the platinum trophy for the main game. Now if only my people at Sanctuary weren’t stuck at 89 happiness I could get the trophy for having a happy settlement and start a new playthrough.

The Four Kings Casino and Slots – 52%

I started playing this game again because the space on my PS4 is completely full and I really need to finish some games, even the stupid little ones. This is one that I like to consider a stupid little one, I played it because of that competitive side of myself and I refuse to leave another game like this unfinished on my profile, so until I finish it I’ll continue to slowly get some trophies.

Table Top Racing: World Tour – 40%

I continued to play this game this week, even though I have to admit it’s getting just a little bit boring now. All the races are basically the same thing over and over again and the challenges are basically the same. While I’m not playing this game as much as I first was, I’m pretty confident that I can still get the platinum trophy for this game…eventually

That was it for this week. Not a whole lot of trophies, but still a pretty decent amount. It was better than last week when I had a big fat zero in the trophy department. Now for this week. My work schedule is all jacked up again because of work politics and for some reason when women work together, things just get really complicated and it becomes high school all over again. With that said, I plan on spending at least one day playing Mass Effect 2, which I’m thoroughly enjoying, and will then be trying to finish up some games that are on my PS4 like Dying Light, Mad Max, Tearaway Unfolded, Tropico 5, and Table Top Racing: World Tour. I really have the urge to delete the majority of these games and move on to something else, but I will push that urge aside for now and try to get through these games. I’ll let you know how things went next week.

This Week in Trophies 05-15-2016 – 05-21-2016

I would have to say that this week was a pretty standard week when it came to trophies. It wasn’t my best week ever and it wasn’t my worst week either. Now next week, next week might possibly be the worst week ever, but we’ll talk about that next week. Anyway, I thought that I managed to get a decent amount of trophies this week and here they are.

Tropico 5 – 33%

I continued playing this game this week whenever I got the chance to do so and I’m still having a pretty great time playing. I got through a little more of the actual campaign mode but realized that most of the trophies can actually be easily obtained through the sandbox mode. Either way the game is still fun and I’m getting a lot out of it.

The Four Kings Casino and Slots – 47%

The only reason why I even played this game this week was because I needed something to play while Far Harbor was downloading. The upside of playing was that I was able to get some trophies for this game making me get just a little closer to getting all of the trophies for this game.

Fallout 4 – 76%

I made my way back into the world of Fallout 4 this week to play the new DLC Far Harbor. I have to say that so far, I’m enjoying the DLC. There’s a hell of a lot more to do then the other two DLC’s that have been released and there’s a lot of exploring to be done on this new island that you’re brought to. There’s a lot of history there and there’s actually a lot of lore which was impressive. I’m really enjoying the DLC and playing any chance that I get.

Table Top Racing: World Tour – 35%

I played this game this week mostly when I wanted to play a game but had a limited amount of time. After a while this game has been getting a little boring, but I’m sure that with some diligence that I’ll be able to eventually get the platinum trophy for this game.

That was it for this week, like I said a decent week for trophies. Now for the upcoming week, my schedule is so damn packed that I’m not even sure I’ll be able to game. I will try to get some more Mass Effect 2 in because it seems like when I last played, all I did was mine planets and got one story mission done. Other than that, I have no idea since I will be heading off to MegaCon this week. MegaCon is something that I really look forward to each year and while it does mean some time away from gaming it also means that I get to do some nerdy things for a weekend. If I happen to get any trophies this upcoming week, I’ll let you know about it. If not look for my MegaCon blog which will be posted after the event.

This Week in Trophies – 05-08-2016- 05-14-2016

With Uncharted 4 coming out this week, I didn’t really think I would be playing much else, but I actually had some extra time on my hands this week and was able to play a lot more than I expected. I thought this week was pretty exciting as I played through the whole Uncharted 4 game and even got a platinum trophy, not in Uncharted, but in another game. Keep reading to see how my week in gaming went.

Tropico 5 – 17%

I’m working my way slowly through this game. I did have a corrupt save file which basically ruined everything and forced me to start again, but to tell you the truth I wasn’t really all that mad about it. Which is weird because a game corrupting a save file is not a good thing. Anyway, I powered through and continued playing this week.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – 30%

So I got this game on Tuesday and I finished it on Friday. This was probably the longest Uncharted game and I was a little indifferent about the whole experience. Uncharted is one of my favorite Playstation franchises and I’m not sure if this was the proper way for the game to go out. There were a few things I didn’t like and very few things that I actually liked. Playing this game did make me think about a new blog though. I was thinking of doing a Spoiler Chat type of blog where I talk about some spoilers from some games since I really don’t like getting into spoilers in my reviews. It’ll be a type of blog where I comment on some spoilery things and you can also feel free to comment on some spoilery things. I think it could be fun, but we’ll see.

Arcade Game Series: Dig Dug – 100%

That last trophy was such a pain in the ass to get, but I finally did it and I can now be done with this game. I’ll have my full review of the game up in a few weeks.

Table Top Racing: World Tour – 21%

I turned on this game for a little bit this week so that I didn’t get too rusty at playing and was able to get more than a couple of trophies while doing so. I’m still really enjoying the game when I play which is unusual for me because I generally don’t like the whole racing genre of games.

And that was it for this week. It was pretty exciting and while I knew I would be spending most of my time playing Uncharted 4, the platinum trophy was a very nice surprise. As for the upcoming week, things should be pretty calm to where I’ll get a couple of full days in gaming. At least I hope so. That could all change like it usually does, but my plan for the week is to play some Mass Effect 2 on Sunday, continue with Tropico 5 and Table Top Racing: World Tour, play Fallout 4’s new DLC Far Harbor sometime this week, and other than that I’m really not sure. I’m still missing a bunch of trophies for Uncharted 4, but I don’t know if I’m ready to go back and get them just yet. I’ll let you know how my week went next week.

This Week in Trophies 05-01-2016 – 05-07-2016

This was one of those weeks where I felt really scatter brained and that meant that I not only started one new game, I started three new games. Which now that I have a clear head I realized was really stupid because Uncharted 4 comes out this upcoming Tuesday and there’s nothing that I want to play more than that. Anyway, I’ll most likely be paying for my mistakes as I end this month not accomplishing anything, but here’s a look at the trophies I was able to get this week.

Mass Effect – 72%

I finished my first replay through this game early last week and was really happy with the outcome. For all the faults that I found with the original game, I have to say that the second time around I enjoyed it a lot better than I did the first. As soon as I can I’ll be importing my recent Shepard into Mass Effect 2 in order to hopefully get the last DLC trophy that I need for the 100% on that game.

Battleborn – 12%

I got this game a whole day early and was able to find out really early that I’m not liking this game at all. It’s a real struggle for me to play it because there are so many things that I think are wrong with it. The first thing is basically that there’s an episode based story which is just stupid. There is no constant playthrough, no actual missions or side mission and you can’t just open your party for random people to join, you have to go into a matchmaking system and then hopefully everyone will agree on which episode to play. If not you’re pretty much screwed and you’ll end up jumping around making the story not even make sense or make you feel like you shouldn’t even be invested in the story to begin with. Instead of this game, I really wished that Gearbox would have worked on Borderlands 3.

Table Top Racing: World Tour – 12%

I got this game free this week thanks to PS+ and I decided to give it a try. I figured what the hell. It looked interesting enough, even though I’m totally not into racing games, and it was different. I gave Rocket League a chance so I wanted to do the same with this. I have to say that I actually enjoyed this game a hell of a lot more than Battleborn and am playing almost every chance I can get. I look forward to one day hopefully getting the platinum trophy for this game.

Tropico 5 – 14%

Who ever said that PS+ doesn’t give you anything good? I’ve been waiting for this game to go on sale since it came out and could never find it at a decent price. Do you know what price is really great? Free. I jumped at the chance to download this game this week and start playing as soon as I possibly could. I did not regret doing that one bit. I find myself playing for hours upon hours when I didn’t intend to in the first place. The campaign is challenging and frustrating, but I’m really enjoying it.

That was it for this week. It was nice that I had a little more time to game but that all changes again this week. This week is busy busy for me which means that I won’t get all that much time to game and I absolutely hate when that happens on a week where a new game comes out that I’ve been waiting for. Anyway, for this week I doubt I’ll even get a chance to start Mass Effect 2, so I’ll probably skip it, I’m definitely going to start Uncharted 4 sometime this week, I’ll probably play Table Top Racing: World Tour and Tropico 5 when I get a chance, and I might try to go back and play some Battleborn if I’m absolutely bored out of my mind. I’ll let you know how things played out for me next week.
