This Week in Trophies 02-24-2019 – 03-02-2019

This was a really sad week for trophies. Personally this week was extremely busy for me and I didn’t have much time for gaming like I wanted. I really do hate weeks like this and do long for those weeks when I have almost an unlimited time to play games. Anyway, I was able to get some trophies this week so let’s have a look.

Anthem – 20%

Can I say how much I’m absolutely loving this game? Seriously, I did not think that I would love this game as much as I am. I am a little disappointed by the lack of romance options since it seems like everyone at the Fort is just constantly flirting with my Freelancer, but that’s fine. I’m really enjoying the story aspect of this game as well as the short amount of time that I have to play with other people.

LEGO The Incredibles – 65%

This game is taking me way longer than I had hoped to get the platinum trophy and that’s probably because rather than just playing each level over again, you have to do a specific thing to get a trophy for each level and that’s taking up a little more time than I want it too. I was able to clean up a few level trophies this week and some random ones, but I think it’s going to be another couple of weeks before the platinum comes for this game.

Tetris Effect – 51%

I’m really enjoying this funky little Tetris game and I have to say that out of all the Tetris games that I’ve played, excluding the original that this is my favorite. While I think this is just one of those games that I’ll play and not get the platinum trophy I’m having a fun time playing and this year was kind of about making gaming fun again so there you go.

There you have it a sad 15 trophies for the week especially when you compare it to my previous weeks of trophies. I kind of knew this would happen this month going in, so I’m not that disappointed, but still what can you do. Anyway, for the upcoming week, I’m going to work on LEGO The Incredibles a little more and plan to get at least a level a day in so that I can maybe have it finished within the next two weeks, continue to play Anthem any chance that I get, and play some more Tetris Effect. As you can see I still couldn’t get myself to play that second episode of Life is Strange 2. It’s like my mind has a mental block on it. Anyway, I’ll let you know how things turn out next week.

This Week in Trophies 02-17-2019 – 02-23-2019

Not as great as the past two weeks, which were really great, I played a bunch of different games and got a decent amount of trophies, but the trophy count was much less and I’m thinking that this is going to continue for the rest of the month. This is fine with me as it happens, so let’s get into a breakdown of my trophies and see what I played this week.

Anthem – 14%

So this game has kind of been a running joke for me. I always said that the only reason why I pre-ordered this game was to keep BioWare in business so that they can continue to make Dragon Age 4. When I first started playing this game on Friday, I thought that I wouldn’t pick it up again because it just wasn’t the normal BioWare game that I was used to. Anyway, yesterday I figured I would give it another chance since I did just spend $60 on it and I have to say that I did not put that game down for 6 whole hours. I just couldn’t stop playing as the story began to draw me in and the multiplayer portion isn’t all that bad as you really only have to tolerate random people for about 30 minutes at a time tops. This is great and with the two patches that were recently installed, things are changing all the time. The only thing I really miss in the game are the classic BioWare romance options. Where are those? Stupid T rating. All these characters flirting with my Freelancer and I can’t even flirt back. Sad. Just sad.

LEGO The Incredibles – 48%

In typical LEGO fashion, I’m just about done with this game and just have to go back now and re-do each level to be able to get all of the trophies and get the platinum for this game. Once that is done I’m done with this LEGO game and LEGO games in general for probably half the year. Anyway, I’m hoping to get the platinum trophy for this game soon.

Tetris Effect – 35%

I’ve been playing this game on and off this week when I have small periods of time to game. Which actually turned out to be a lot this week. The easy trophies that I was able to get right away are basically done and all that are left are the pretty hard ones. This is just one of those games that will keep randomly appearing on this list as long as I continue to play and a trophy pops every once in a while.

Mixups by POWGI (PS Vita) – 100%

Another POWGI game done and gone. This was an easy platinum since I wrote down all of the answers. I’m just smart like that. Anyway, my POWGI reviews start this week so you should be seeing this review in about 4 weeks since there are three other POWGI games in front of it.

There you have it, a total of 51 trophies this week. It doesn’t compare to the 80+ trophies that I’ve been getting, but it was something. I can tell you for sure that this upcoming week I won’t even be reaching the 50 mark and I’ll be lucky to hit 10 trophies. This is fine though because I’ve had a great couple of weeks. Anyway, for this week the plan is to finish up LEGO The Incredibles, play a lot more Anthem because I’m kind of hooked, and once again try to get that second episode of Life is Strange 2 in. I just can’t seem to do it, but I will try. I’ll also be playing some more Tetris. I’ll let you know how everything turns out next week.

This Week in Trophies 02-10-2019 – 02-16-2019

Another interesting week in trophies for me as I started some games, finished some games, started some new games. This was even one of those weeks where I feel like I just didn’t game that much. We’ll take a look at my stat’s and see just how much I did or didn’t game this week.

Mixups by POWGI (PS4) – 100%

So I bought this game this week and even finished it so that means that I can’t talk about it here. I swear that all of these reviews for the POWGI games are coming, it’s just that I can’t keep up with them because I complete them so quickly.

LEGO The Incredibles – 28%

I continued to play this game this week and am just about at the end of playing this game. I think I have one more short stream for this game and then I should be done and go on my trophy hunting way to get the platinum trophy for this game. I’m missing a bunch of trophies so far and that’s ok because I’m sure I’ll have tons of fun going back and getting all of the collectibles and what not from each level and around the town. Sarcasm.

Tetris Effect – 31%

I’m enjoying playing this game casually as this isn’t one of those games that you just play for hours and hours on end because it’s that great. It’s just one of those games I use to kill some time when I need to and don’t want to get into a heavy story based game. Even though this game is still super trippy, it’s a fun one.

Word Sudoku by POWGI (PS Vita) – 100%

I was also able to finish this game this week and get the platinum trophy for it. I’ll be including the PS Vita versions of the POWGI games reviews in with my PS4 reviews just to keep things simple and that way it won’t be all that repetitive since the main game is basically the same and it’s just the playability that’s different.

One Word by POWGI (PS Vita) – 100%

I started this game this week and finished it. This review will also be combined with my PS4 review which I swear is coming up soon!

There you have it, a total of 89 trophies for the week. Definitely a good week and for a short month this is great. I’m not sure I’ll be hitting this number again for the upcoming week as I try to finish LEGO The Incredibles, play some more Tetris Effect, start Mixups by POWGI on my PS Vita and try to get in that second episode of Life is Strange 2. I’m having a really hard time playing that game. Anyone else? Anyway, I’ll let you know how everything turns out next week.

This Week in Trophies 02-03-2019 – 02-09-2019

As many of you know, I took a little mental health break this week which meant that I didn’t blog at all. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but it was because I needed it. There are so many things going on in my life right now that I just needed a break from something. I hate that it had to be from blogging because honestly, I love doing this stuff. I love writing about games, movies, and everything else and this isn’t the real stress in my life. It’s actually a mixture of a lot of other things that are unavoidable and unfortunately those are the things that pay me to continue to blog so while I had to keep doing those things, the blogging had to be taken a break from. I am back this week and will continue on with my normal blogs, starting with this one because it’s been one hell of an interesting trophy week.

Word Sudoku by POWGI (PS4) – 100%

Let’s start with my first platinum trophy of the week. Yes, there were more than one. My reviews are completely backed up now but since I got the platinum trophy for this game I can’t say much about it but I promise the reviews are coming and I’ll let you know what I think about the game when my review comes out.

One Word by POWGI (PS4) – 100%

My second platinum trophy for the week. There’s still one more to come. I played this game in a day so I really can’t say much about it here. I know it sucks because I want to talk about these games, but I also want you guys to come back for my review so my lips are sealed until then.

LEGO The Incredibles – 22%

I wanted to start something new this week and I did. It felt like forever since I last played a LEGO game and decided to give this one a go because of my love for The Incredibles. So far, I’m finding this game to be really short as I should finish with the main story in one more gaming session before going back and getting the rest of the trophies. Hopefully the rest of the game will actually take a little more time.

Tetris Effect – 27%

Because I had already finished two games, I figured why not start as many games as I finished. Makes sense right? It does to me anyway. So Tetris Effect. I feel like I get suckered into every single Tetris game that comes out because of my love for Tetris and everything Tetris and this is one of those games. Don’t get me wrong it’s a new and interesting take on Tetris that has both regular play and VR play, but this game is trippy as hell. I have no idea how someone would actually play this game in VR. I mean seriously, I can play maybe an hour at a time tops before this thing starts to really bug out my eyes and I have to stop. That being said, I am enjoying playing this game in small does.

Word Search by POWGI (PS Vita) – 100%

This is my third and final platinum for the week and it was one that was a long time coming. Since I’m so backed up on reviews I won’t be doing two separate reviews for the PS4 version of this game and the PS Vita version. They’re both identical games just played on different platforms, but I will be adding in a PS Vita section into my review of the game so that it won’t be left out.

Word Sudoku by POWGI (PS Vita) – 25%

Since I finished my current PS Vita game, I needed a new one and this was it. While I know all the basics about this game because I played on the PS4, I’m still getting used to the controls and it’s taking me a little while to get this game completed. I found Word Search to be a little more easier to play on the PS Vita, but I’m still having a fun time playing this game between bouts of boring TV.

There you have it, a whopping 83 trophies this week, 3 of them being platinum trophies. I’m really happy with this number as I spent a lot of time gaming this week and it not only showed but it paid off. Now for the upcoming week, I plan on finishing Word Sudoku by POWGI on the PS Vita and then starting and hopefully finishing One Word by POWGI for the PS Vita. While I’m doing that I’ll have one more stream of LEGO The Incredibles to finish the main story in stream before going off and finishing that game away from stream. I’ll also get in some more time for Tetris Effect and hopefully have just as an exciting week when it comes to trophies to tell you about next week.

This Week in Trophies 01-27-2019 – 02-02-2019

There really wasn’t a lot of time to game this week because once again life just gets in the way. I really feel like I need some time to just be able to game and relax, but that doesn’t seem like it’s going to be happening any time soon. I’ll get whatever I can get though and this week I got a platinum trophy, so let’s take a look at my trophies for the week.

Word Search by POWGI (PS Vita) – 85%

This remains my game of choice as I watch some episodes of Gotham every once in a while or some other boring TV show that I feel the need to watch but not really pay attention to. Anyway, I was able to lock down two more trophies for this game and should have the platinum trophy soon.

Word Search by POWGI (PS4) – 100%

I finally got the platinum trophy for this game this week, so that means that I won’t be saying much about this game at all until my review. This is still a few weeks away and I’m hoping that I can get the platinum for the PS Vita version at the same time so that I can combine the reviews.

There you have it, a total of 12 trophies for the week, but at least one was a platinum. I want to make solid gaming plans this week, but I just can’t. It’s really impossible for me to lay out any kind of schedule for gaming at this point in time so I’m just going to take it as it comes and I’ll let you know how I did next week.

This Week in Trophies 01-20-2019 – 01-26-2019

After last week’s lackluster show of trophies, I knew I had to amp things up a little this week, even if I didn’t have a lot of time to play. Working, taking on extra side work, and getting tattooed all in one week take up a lot of time that I would usually spend gaming, but I think that I did a decent job this week so let’s take a look at the trophies I was able to get.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – 89%

I completed the second episode of DLC for this game this week, which means I can’t speak of it here and took on some additional feats in the process which gained me a few new trophies for this game.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season – 48%

While I finished the episode, I didn’t get all of the trophies for it. Not really a big surprise as it seems like this game will have to be replayed to be able to get all of the trophies anyway. I really enjoyed the episode though and if you want to watch me play it and see what choices I made, you can do so by clicking this link.

Word Search by POWGI (PS4) – 73%

I’m so close to finishing this game and I really can’t wait to get the platinum. I feel like not getting the platinum is holding me back from finishing Word Sudoku because for some odd reason I feel like I should get the platinum in this game first before moving onto Word Sudoku. I said it was weird, I never said it made sense.

Word Sudoku by POWGI – 76%

I played a little bit more of this game, but as I mentioned before I’m staying away from the platinum for now until I can get the platinum in Word Search. Overall though I am enjoying this game and find it both challenging and enjoyable at the same time.

WWE 2K19 – 91%

I won my PPV event thingie and got the trophy that I’ve been waiting over a month to get. I know I’m only four trophies away from the platinum, but I really feel done with this game. That can always change and it usually does, but we’ll just have to wait and see how I feel about this game going forward.

Word Search by POWGI (PS Vita) – 79%

I’ve become bored with Gotham and am pretty glad that it’s in it’s last season so while I watch I’ve been playing this game slowly. There have been a couple of oh shit moments on Gotham, but not enough that I want to put down my PS Vita completely and just watch. Anyway, I was able to get a few trophies this week because of that.

And there you have it, a total of 25 trophies for the week. A nice decent week considering that I only got 7 trophies last week. I want to do better this week and I really hope that I can. My plan is to continue with Word Search on both PS4 and PS Vita hoping that either this week or next week I can get the platinum so then I can get the platinum in Word Sudoku. I also plan on playing the new episode of Life is Strange 2 and continuing to play some Fallout 76. I might even start a new game this week so I’ll let you know how everything turns out next week.

This Week in Trophies 01-13-2019 – 01-19-2019

This week was just one of those awful weeks when it came to trophies. Just awful. I don’t know how else to describe it really. It’s one of those weeks where I didn’t even get enough trophies to warrant a blog, but here it is. The only good thing worth mentioning was that I was able to get my first platinum trophy of the year. So, let’s take a look at my pathetic trophy count for the week.

Dying Light – 71%

I did it! I finally got the platinum trophy for this game and it only took almost three years to do so! While I won’t say much about this game right now because a review is coming, I know I’m still backlogged with the reviews, but I will say that I enjoyed the game but ended up hating it by the time I was finished.

Word Search by POWGI (PS4) – 64%

This was my in between game again this week and I made some progression on it. Unlike the other games by POWGI, this one you have to play each and every puzzle in the game to get the trophies for it so I still have a lot of puzzles to go but I’ll get to all of them eventually.

There you have it, a lousy 6 trophies this week. Yes, I say lousy even though one of them was a platinum trophy. Hopefully this will change in the upcoming week as I plan on playing the new episode of The Walking Dead, the new episode of DLC from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which has already given me some grief, and hopefully get a new trophy in WWE 2K19 because it’s PPV week! I’ll probably play some other games in between so come back next week to see how I did.

This Week in Trophies 01-06-2019 – 01-12-2019

I have to say that this week was kind of a blur to me as I really have no idea what the hell went on for about half of it. I worked a hell of a lot, I feel like I played a lot too, but the only way to prove that s by showing off my trophy gains for the week. So, let’s get to it and see what trophies I was able to get this week.

Fallout 76 – 28%

I hit a couple of snags with this game this week as the game locked up quite a few times when loading and it made me a little bitter about this game. What made me absolutely salty about this game though was that I was hunted and killed in my camp, when I was scrapping all of my stuff which means that all of my junk fell and my killers picked it up and ran. By the time I got to them and killed them in an effort to get my stuff back, they either didn’t have it or just left so that my bag of goodies didn’t drop. This made me pissed as it takes a while in this game to collect stuff and scrap is to that you can build and do other things and it’s like I have to start over now.

Word Search by POWGI (PS4) – 61%

At times I didn’t have much time to game this week and this was a good fill in for that, or I wasn’t in the right mind to actually play a full game so I used this game as a chance to just kick back and relax while I listened to some music. In the process I also got some trophies so it was a win-win.

Word Sudoku by POWGI (PS4) – 63%

Desperately needing a game like Word Search, I decided to give this game a try since it was sitting on my system and found it to actually be fun. It challenged me and I really enjoyed that because it takes the classical Sudoku but puts a spin on it by using words instead of numbers. You can switch it to numbers mode, but it’s far more interesting in word mode than numbers mode. I’m enjoying this game and am well on my way to getting the platinum for this game before moving on the PS Vita version of this game.

Youtubers Life – 17%

I ran into another problem with this game this week as it seems like when you reach a certain point in the gamers path that you just don’t get what you’re supposed to be getting out of this game. This is disappointing as it’s basically a dumbed down version of The Sims. I decided to start on a new career path so we’ll see how it goes.

Word Search by POWGI (PS Vita) – 73%

I used this game to play something while watching some TV this week and was able to get a trophy out of it. Compared to the PS4 version of this game, I’m a lot closer to getting the platinum trophy for this game which won’t be that bad once it finally happens. I’m actually looking forward to it so that I can remove this game from my Vita and replace it with Word Sudoku by POWGI.

There you have it a total of 31 trophies this week. Not a bad week, but not my best week either. I really thought I got a little bit more in the trophy department, but like I said before this week has kind of been a blur for me as I’ve been working a lot and took on a few side projects to make ends meet. That being said, next week promises to be more of the same so I’m going to continue playing these games basically and see where that leads me. I’ll let you know how things turn out next week.

This Week in Trophies 12-30-2018 – 01-05-2019

In an effort to make gaming fun again this year, which is one of my major goals for the year, I basically played whatever I wanted to this week from my catalog of games. That being said, I had a really fun and productive week. I did all of that and still was able to get a nice amount of trophies, so let’s take a look and see what trophies I was able to get this week.

Dying Light – 65%

I busted my ass when it came to this game this week and it payed off. So I finished the story of this game, which was mediocre at best, and am now trying to get the remainder of the trophies which is turning out to be a real grind and not really that fun. I’ll give this game some more time and try to get the remainder of the trophies before calling it a day with this game whether or not I get the platinum. A big thank you to my buddy @tjarvinen86 who’s been playing this game with me even though he already has his platinum trophy.

Fallout 76 – 20%

I’ve been waiting for what feels like forever to play this game and when I finally got the chance to play, I have to say that I just fell in love with this game. Yes, it has some bugs and glitches, but it’s nothing like what other Bethesda games don’t already have in them. They’re the normal bugs and glitches that you can find in a Bethesda game so it’s not anything that’s unheard of. I like the feel of this game and I even enjoy the fact that it’s online. I have nothing bad to say about this game so far.

Word Search by POWGI (PS4) – 52%

I’m slowly making my way through this game and I’m enjoying the time that it’s taking to play it. It’s one of those games that I play when I have some extra time and need something to do and when I get the platinum trophy for this game it’ll just happen. It’s not a game that I feel the need to rush and get the platinum.

WWE 2K19 – 88%

Yes I despise this game and it’s in no way fun, but I really want to get the PPV trophy so I’m still playing and still trying to level up as much as possible before January 23rd so that I can beat someone in the MP during the PPV and get the trophy. After that I might or might not give up depending on how many trophies I need to finish the game. Other than that I think this game is horrible and will be the last WWE game that I ever buy.

Youtubers Life – 11%

I picked this game up on a whim because it looked like The Sims, but instead I got to make YouTube video’s for a living, like I try to do now just more successfully. So far I’m having a really great time playing. There as a little hitch that took place when I first started playing that didn’t allow me to level up and although I lost some time playing when the game did this because I had to re-start, things seem to be working now and I’m OK with that at the moment.

Word Search By POWGI (PS Vita) – 70%

I was able to get one trophy for this game this week as I played some PS Vita while watching something so boring on TV that I don’t even remember what I was watching. I expect this number to go up as I watch a little more TV this week than I did the previous week and while I watch I’ll probably be playing this game.

Now for the big drum roll because my total trophies for the week was 40. Not a bad haul when it comes to trophies. I had a lot of fun playing video games this week which hasn’t been happening as of late and I’ve been having an absolute blast streaming for fun. Who knew that any of this could be fun. Anyway, I’m going to continue on the same path for this upcoming week as I play some more Dying Light, if anyone is interested in playing this game with me I have a gaming session set up on PSNProfiles.com, some more Fallout 76, and some more Youtubers Life. I’ll probably play some other stuff and I’ll let you know how everything went next week.

This Week in Trophies 12-23-2018 – 12-29-2018

This was an OK week when it came to gaming. I’ve keep my promise of not starting any new games until the new year and it’s kind of making me miserable as I play some games that I just don’t like. This last full week of the year has seemed more like a chore than anything else and I’ll be happy when the year is over and I can unveil my brand new goal for next year that will make gaming feel like less of a chore. Anyway, onto the trophies.

Dying Light – 36%

I’m really glad my buddy @tjarvinen86 pushed me to play this game again because I’m having a great time doing so. I think that when I first started playing it, there were a lot of reasons that I don’t want to get into that made me stop. Mostly other people, but I found that playing this game again is fun and I really missed out so I’m enjoying my time as I play this again.

Gems of War – 72%

As you might have guessed, I stopped playing this game a long time ago, but I kept my guild open. At the urging of a fellow guild member, I had to log in in order to kick someone from the guild. This prompted me to use a few keys that I had to open some chests and it popped a trophy. All that just to kick out an inactive guild member. And no, the member was not me.

Word Search by POWGI (PS4) – 44%

I used this game as my chill out game this week because with the holidays this week has been stressful. I like to play this game because I can shut off the background music put on my headphone and listen to some music that I want to listen to and just not have to think. It’s a relaxing little thing and it beats the next game which has made my life a living hell.

WWE 2K19 – 79%

This is the last WWE game that I will ever get as this game is such a piece of crap. I absolutely hate this game, but I continue to play because I want to be able to get whatever trophies I can now and just be done with this game. It’s such a chore to play and it’s not even fun to play online. That being said I am only 6 trophies away from the platinum trophy and at this point I really don’t care if I get it or not, I’m just trying to finish up the multiplayer trophies and be done with this game. Oh and a huge shout out to CHRISTONTHEGOD who called me a fucking bitch when I beat him because he was too busy showboating outside of the ring that when he tried to get back in I punched him in the face and he fell to the ground for the count out. I swear the community for this game is extremely toxic and I’ve been called so many things in so many languages that I’ve just about had it. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but if you’re going to lose at least do it with some dignity.

There you have it the final full week of the year with a total of 35 trophies. I’m pretty happy with this amount of trophies for my final full week of the year. I am so look forward to this upcoming week as I continue some games and start some other games that I’ve been waiting to start for a while now. I’ll let you know how everything went and what I decided to start playing next week. That being said I hope that everyone has a happy and safe new year. I want to thank you guys for reading and commenting, I couldn’t ask for a better blogging community as I have a ton of fun interacting with all of you. You guys are awesome!
