Gameplay is crap but story is fantastic. I played it on PS3 and Vita, doing it right now on PS4 and it's still great. It's every bit as good as the comics, forget about that s**tty TV show. Not an easy platinum, a free one, you just have to beat the (zero difficulty) game to get it. Easiest one I have by far.
Yes I did, I liked how the story was presented. Oddly, that episode ran a lot smoother for me than the rest of the game. Maybe they got a lot of criticism about the first having an easy platinum, so maybe they removed it? Who knows. I'll be sure to check out the game you mentioned! Say what? I liked the show for the most part. I think did a great job with the characters. As for the platinum, it was pretty much free. I think the only one that was missable was the win the rocks, papers, scissors game. Resistance was another super easy platinum, but I still think it was harder than the Walking Dead. I can't help but think what their games would be like with a big budget... Imagine having choices that would drastically affect the story, like getting Clementine killed for instance. I know a really big budget would be needed for that, but a man can dream.
If you liked the show give a chance to the comics, different media but sooo much better. But then I also think Game of Thrones TV is horrendous compared to the books so it's probably just me The Rock / Paper / Scissors trophy is indeed missable but not needed for Platinum, the DLC trophy list is separate from the main game. I think something went wrong with Season 2 not having a Platinum as Wolf Among Us and Tales From Borderlands are also incredibly easy and have it.
I did try the first few which I got for free, but couldn't get into it. I always hated comics though, so I guess I'm in a different boat from you. This means... Naval warfare! Just kidding, but that is strange about the missing platinum trophy. Hmmm, who knows. Maybe they were drunk?
Also, can anyone get on the PSN? I've been having so many issues with their service lately, and now I can't get on at all. With all the money they make from PS+, you think they would improve their service.
I went to download Trails from the Sky after I cleared some space on my card, and got the maintenance message. Edit: meant Trails 'In' the Sky not 'from'.
It's been giving me "cannot sign in for some bullshit reason, check your connection". Assholes. Anyways, I got in now and saw a whole bunch of sales! Hurray! Most of the PSP and PSOne games are still priced too high in my opinion, but there are some goo Vita deals. I'm looking at Mortal Kombat, but I played injustice and didn't like it much. The controls didn't seem right enough. I was also eyeing the rachet and clank trilogy, but I never played any of them so I don't really know much about it. Plus it probably would take up about 5-7 gigabytes.
Yeah I picked up Tactics Ogre and Trails In the Sky PSP since they seem to never go on sale. I'm considering Danganronpa as well.
As a long long time PSN / PS+ user I believe that (not counting that unaceptable prolonged outage a few years ago) both services were never as bad as nowadays. Downtimes out of nowhere, maintenances galore, one after another useless firmware updates, incredibly slow text messages sending, IGC getting worse every month, terrible sales, store errors, amazingly terrible mobile app, etc. And at least in the PS4 case Sony can't even hide their asses with the Live-is-a-paid-service lame excuse anymore.
I really enjoyed 400 Days, I was hoping they'd continue with the split character narrative for season 2 as well. Season 2 runs better (on PS4 at least) than season 1 so I guess it and 400 Days have a better engine and they've eradicated some inherent problems that are cross platform. Agree on budget, it'd be nice to see some really diverting paths that had a real impact on things rather than the illusion of it. Still, I enjoy telltale as much as I would like to see them up their game. I can only speak for SCEE but I think in general they've gone downhill, they were better to their customers when they were lagging behind the 360. Theirs something to be said for supporting an underdog, they'll generally try harder and be a bit more respectful.
I'm glad a few of you finally got The Swapper and enjoying it. Another criminally underrated and overlooked puzzle platformer is currently on sale: Knytt Underground. I would dare say it's even more challenging than the Swapper and the hardest trophy set to complete out of any PS game (take my word for it). Also apparently Nihilumbra is coming to vita??! It showed up on the upcoming master list and I never heard it was announced before. Did you guys play it on iPad?
Thanks for the tip on Knytt. I played Nihilumbra on the iPad and remember that I thought it looked very nice and played well, but I don't think it caught my attention all that much as I only remember playing it for an hour or 2 before moving to something else - but then I have a short attention span if a game does not really grab me, and sometimes I will go back and wonder why I did not like it that much. Will retry it and let y'all know. Returning after playing Nihilumbra for a bit - a nice, atmospheric puzzle, platform, adventure. I think it will be really nice for the Vita with the mix of using sticks and buttons for movement, and the touchpad for drawing elements. Actually plays quite well on the iPad. Can't play on the iPhone as it's not updated for iOS 8.
Ok just grabbed MK from 20th Anniversary Sale, not interested in PSP or PSOne games cause they look ugly on Vita.
Really happy you got to experience this gem. Did you also play it on NG+? The puzzles and ennemies get way harder than in story mode. I understand it didn't "click" with you the first time around. Even though it has a cool art style, you can't really expect how good this game is from the first few moments. Hopefully it is really being ported to vita (maybe even with backpad control to swipe for colours). As for it crashing on newer OS, well that's the big problem with mobile games. It doesn't even surprise me anymore. Shame really.
Ah... Thanks. Funny because I was just thinking about MKX. I couldn't get past MK meaning mario kart. Thanks!
A nintendoite! Quick, burn them! There may only be one supreme console! If there are multiple consoles, that leads to competition which leads to better products at cheaper prices. Who would want that? Nintendoites, that's who. Wait, why haven't they been burned yet? Come on! Slightly on-topic: I thought about buying MK but I saw where online is no longer functioning. That also means I would never being able to get all the trophies for this game, no matter how much I wanted to. I haven't decided whether to get it or not yet...
