S-Ranked All Islands in Dream Log: January 10 Something I've been working on for a few months came to an end today. Now to grind out all the coins, posters, etc. to get that Platinum trophy.

Gone Home

Gone Home

PS4 Version Complete: January 16 Originally played this game on PC at the very end of 2013 and enjoyed it a lot then, still enjoy it now. I know a lot of people are sticklers for the price it's being sold for, but if you can catch it on sale wherever you can play it, give it a shot. It's good. Now to try out the commentary mode, which I didn't do at all on the PC version. Played Through with Commentary On: January 16 (Did not get all of the commentary bits though) I did this directly after playing the game through once, and with some prior knowledge, skipped over a section or two of the game and could not remember what I needed to do to do those, so I undoubtedly missed a commentary or two (or maybe more) so no trophy for that, and worse I missed out on a little more commentary. Did get two other trophies on this run though.

Good Playthrough Complete: January 17 I really enjoyed this game when it came out nearly two years ago, to the point that I really wanted to play it again since I no longer had my copy. PSN had it on sale last week, cheaper for Plus members, so I picked it up and played through it again. I do wish it was just a bit longer, but then it may have overstayed its welcome.

Story Complete: January 24 Started this when it was a PS+ title, but never got far into it. Decided to finally sit down and beat it, and I did it in one sitting. Might try to go for a platinum later down the road, decided to grab everything in Seattle, so those trophies are done at least.

All Arcade Modes Complete and Unlocked Secret Character: Febryary 5 Finally decided to do this in order to save up for the unlockable character in the game, once I did that I had more than enough to purchase him.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth

Story Complete: February 24 All Royal Knight Challenges and all DLC Complete: March 20 I'll put this one with last year's Dragon Ball Xenoverse. I couldn't believe I bought a DBZ game and enjoyed it as much as I did, and this is the same. Never thought I'd be buying a Digimon game in 2016 but here we are. Stranger still is how much I enjoyed it. 3/20 Update: I was working on the Royal Knight challenges up to the end of the game, but got stuck on the very last one, so after I beat the game I took a break from it. Went back to it last night and saw I was close to being able to do the power leveling stuff, so I trained up and beat it, then trained up some more to get new Digimon and worked my way through the last DLC missions that came out, where you fight powerful opponents. Those were a grind but I made it through. Might just go for the Platinum trophy on this now.

Street Fighter V

All Character Stories Complete: February 25 Guess now it's just Survival stuff and occasional online (and maybe local) bouts with friends until more content is unlocked. Hit Bronze Status in Ranked Matches: March 6 I thought I would only occasionally play online because I'm a bit self-conscious in online games, especially fighters since I'm pretty poor at them, but I became addicted to playing online once I started getting into it yesterday. Quite a few defeats at first, of course, but I felt like I was starting to learn and soon I started winning more and more, especially in casual matches. It took a while, but I eventually got my way to Bronze status which completely surprised me. I'm happy with that, so if I get further into it I'll be pretty excited by it, but if not then that's fine too. Easy Survival Mode Complete w/ All Characters: March 6 First Set of Trials Complete (w/ Birdie): April 7 Going by what a friend said, he mentioned Birdie's trials were very much doable for someone who still has a way to go before he's really "good" with the game, and even though a few trials took a bit to do, I finally got it. The next closest character I have to go through on Trials is Mika at 7/10 complete. I think now I'm working towards finishing Medium Survival with Ken, who I can now get to Bison "most" of the time, but I freak out towards the end and get punished severely for it. Maybe during my vacation... Beat Normal Survival Mode for the First Time: April 30 Did it with Ken, and though it was later than I had hoped, I'm happy to have finally pulled it off. Did surprisingly well throughout the whole thing up until the last two matches with Necalli and Bison, but still managed the win. Shadow Falls Story Mode Complete: July 1 I feel like that was worth the wait. Seems to close pretty much all of the story gaps between IV and III, with a few neat little tidbits here and there. Some nice reveals and such as well. That credits stinger was nice too. I should probably hook up my PS3 and pick up Third Strike at some point and play through it. Maybe someday... Normal Survival w/ Birdie Complete: July 5 Now that the story mode content is out and the new update is out as well, I think I'm getting back into this game. Decided to simply try out Normal Survival with Birdie and actually won first try. It might be time to switch my main from Ken to Birdie. Beat Ryu's Normal Survival: July 16 I figured once I got to Bison and only got a Low Health Recovery I was done, but surprisingly fireball spam actually worked really well against Bison this time when he normally counters it really well. I'll take it though, dose colors and dat fight money am I right?

Life Is Strange

Life Is Strange

Episode 1 Complete: February 27 Finally got a chance to pick this one up. Got most of the optional photos as well, I only missed one. It's pretty interesting so far, though I'm spoiled already on some of the bigger things that will happen in the game, it's the little details that help flesh it all out. Can't wait to see how the rest of the game plays out. Looks like I followed the majority of people in all the major choices in this episode as well. Episode 2 Complete, as well as gained all optional photos for this episode: February 27 That ending was pretty powerful, especially since you couldn't rewind time for that moment. I'm glad I got things to work out for the better. There were a few choices that I wasn't sure what to do, but I'm sticking with my choices for the most part, rewound time once during the first episode after one choice, but I'm glad I went back to my original choice. Looks like I went against the popular choice once during this episode as well. Now on to episode 3. Actually, final note: I'm really happy that Dontnod have a link at the end of this episode with support groups in case someone may consider suicide, that's a great thing in my opinion. In fact, I'll link it here too: lifeisstrange.com/talk Episode 3 Complete: February 27 Another pretty good episode, with a few nice bonding moments between Max and Chloe throughout, and the twist at the end was really surprising to me. Looks like I stuck with the majority in all of the major decisions, though one was automatically decided for me when I made one choice in the last episode. This might be my last episode for the day, need to go to sleep at some point. Episode 4 Complete: February 28 I try to keep these spoiler free, so I hope this doesn't say too much, but that "discovery" scene was tough to watch, there was a lot of emotion in that scene that gave me goosebumps. Again I seem to have followed the majority of people in the major choices in this episode, also all photos gained again. Might start the last episode today, but I doubt I'll finish it today though. Episode 5 Plus All Optional Photos Complete: February 29 Guess this is the first game I've completed on a leap year in probably four years or so, doubt it'll happen again for another four years. Another great episode, and this game was great all around. Watching the ending I chose was hard to watch too. I hope they do make a sequel game or season for this, most likely with a different cast of characters and all that, which is fine. I think no matter what, the story of Max and Chloe is pretty much over here, at least in my ending. I'll likely go back and play through this again sometime soon with the developer commentary on, plus I need that one photo from the first episode to get a platinum trophy here too. To put it in perspective, I bought this game on sale on PSN, and I almost immediately double dipped on it after starting it and got the Limited Edition for it, it's that great. Platinum Trophy Complete: February 29 Didn't know that you could play each episode from a specific point, so I got that last photo easily enough, thankfully. I'll definitely be playing through this one again soon with developer commentary on.

Intermediate Campaign Complete: February 29 Well, guess that makes two games I completed on Leap Day 2016. Hooray. I liked it, this was my first game in the Frequency/Amplitude franchise, and I enjoyed most of the main tracks, and it's helping me discover (or rediscover) some other bands and such, which is always a plus to me for a rhythm game.
