February 10-16
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (10th): 1 hour each on LittleBigPlanet, Dynasty Warriors Next and Gravity Rush (Special Forces DLC). In LBP spent my time playing through Tapling from start to finish. Pretty challenging at times but a very fun minigame imo. Basically going through the motions with DWN and GR. Story modes plus gold starring the GR dlc challenge modes, very easy. Finally, spent some more time doing coop stages on RE6. Playing a lot more than I usually would lately. Once RE6 is done I'll be dropping back to 3 hours max, probably a bit less.
Monday (11th): Got the RE6 plat after 56 hours of gameplay!! Definitely well earned I have to say. Moved on to the Stratosphere minigame in LBP for an hour. Pretty challenging, and kinda trolled me too. Thought I was done with it until after stage V another 5 difficult stages open up. It's hard to describe all these minigames but LBP does a very nice job of mixing things up. While I admire the effort, couldn't help yearning for a little more attention to the story mode though. Another hour in DWN (Zhuge Liang rocks). Will be moving on to Ni no Kuni tomorrow though nothing happens in the first hour anyway :0
Tuesday (12th): Got the Arcade Champion trophy in LBP. Easily the most difficult in the game I'd have to say, but very fun and rewarding too. First hour of Ni no Kuni, picked up my first familiar and took down the Forest Guardian guy. Pretty good so far. DWN was pretty good too. Introduced some interesting new characters and killed a couple off. One guy's special ability was to leap onto his staff and ride around on it as if it was a hover board. I thought this was about ninjas and shit, not crazy assholes on hoverboards.
Wednesday (13th): Second hour in Ni no Kuni. Fed my Familiar 12 blocks of chocolate and a Sweetie Pie! Having a lot of fun so far though the side quests are really boring. Who the fuck sits down to write up sidequests and comes up with 'collect 2 bottles of water and 2 flowers'? Fucking assholes, that's who. Moved onto Dynasty warriors but in the last ten minutes of gameplay I started one really tiny stage, and then it pushed me into a sidequest/mini-game and then the hardest, longest mission in the game so far! So since I'm out of time today for DWN, and since I can't turn it off without losing 2 and a half missions worth of progress, I'll be doing another hour of Ni no Kuni instead of LittleBigPlanet.
Thursday (14th): DWN is wrecking my shit. Spent the entire hour on 1 stage, same one from yesterday. Can't beat it! Did some sidequests in Ni no Kuni, so at least there's some progress there. Some more LBP, training for the 10 'aces' in a row. It sucks because it's always the smallest shit that ends up killing you and ruining your streak. Enjoyed it a lot in Limbo but this isn't really challenging in the same way, just kind of annoying. It's my last singleplayer trophy though which is awesome. Can't wait to jump into the custom made content online and see what it's like.
Friday (15th): Putting story mode on hold for a while in DWN. I tried Conquest Mode and it's actually pretty decent. You get to pick your own team of guys, including characters from the story that were previously completely unavailable, and then you go conquer the world one stage at a time. The trophy requires you to clear the mode a total of 50 times. Considering I'll probably never be able to get the plat I'll probably give that one a miss. Still, was a nice distraction from getting my ass kicked over and over by Ling Tong and Dong Feng :|
Got the 'Chases the Aces' trophy in LBP. Nice! Had to beat 10 stages in a row, and the guide happened to be wrong on which stages were valid, so I ended up doing another 3 stages I wasn't prepared for. Lucky I didn't mess up.
Saturday (16th): Completed my second 'Conquest mode' today, this time with 3 nations involved instead of 2. They're pretty fun so I'll be completing the first 4 (up to 5 nations fighting it out at the same time) which will give me a couple of trophies. I've actually discovered a really nice feature where you can actually encounter other people's custom warriors on the battlefield in Conquest mode and even recruit them onto your team. It's pretty awesome.
Spent another hour in LBP, just random community levels. Kinda fun but definitely wouldn't spend any significant amount of time here if it wasn't for the trophies. Spent a further TWO hours in Ni no Kuni. I'm really enjoying it so far. I had heard that the next two familiars (cat and green elf thing) were fairly useless but I'm finding that's not the case at all. I wish they had some better equipment for the cat thing, because his strength, attack speed and movement speed are all naturally higher than Mitey's, yet Mitey is still stronger due to better equipment and some weird stat thing I'm seeing where he has an extra 4 strength than he should.
Total:
LittleBigPlanet: 6 hours
Dynasty Warriors Next: 7 hours
Gravity Rush: 1 hour
Ni no Kuni: 6 hours
Resident Evil 6: 5 hours
February 17-23
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (17th): More LBP custom maps. 2 hours in and I've only completed 15 of them? Fuuuuuuuck. Another hour in Dynasty Warriors and Ni no Kuni. Started taming my own familiars and trading in DLC tickets for special monsters. It's really frustrating now because there are several I want to try out but you've only 6 slots, and all new guys start out at like level 1. Utterly useless.
Monday (18th): Spent 45 minutes watching tutorials in LBP lol. Trophy requires you to watch 67 of them... Continuing on with the 75 online community levels. Asian ones are usually amazing. Everything else is pretty lackluster tbh.
Played some more Dynasty Warriors, completing the Four Forces map + trophy, very nice! It's getting much harder now so the five forces map may get pretty hectic. Finally, another hour in Ni no Kuni. Tamed 20 unique creatures which is great. Spoiled for choice now. Only gripe is that it takes ages to train them up, and since my main ones are already in their second form it's hard to get excited about the newbies. Currently on Old Smokey, the big ass volcano fyi.
Tuesday (19th): Another hour in conquest mode (DWN). Managed to marry the hot girl to the extremely overweight dude with zero intelligence. Fun, fun.
More Ni no Kuni as usual. Defeated the volcano boss and spent aaaaages trying to tame the familiar that looks like a bunch of bananas. Just didn't want to join me
. Weighing up whether to spend my last hour either in Ni no Kuni or LittleBigPlanet. Really not enjoying LBP atm since all the good trophies are pretty much done.. we'll see. Verdict: Ni no Kuni, baby!
Wednesday (20th): Another hour in Ni no Kuni, sidequests and stuff plus a boss battle with the Genie of the cauldron. Also transformed my Satan lookalike into his second form, but his stats still suck ass for the moment. More DWN conquest mode + more Ni no Kuni. Really weird stuff going on with the Cowlipha of Al Mamoon, lol.
Thursday (21st): Spent an hour sailing around the world in Ni no Kuni getting my ass kicked by cutie-pie sea creatures, followed by another hour of LBP custom maps and DWN Conquest mode. Finally zeroing in on the leader of the green nation after several hours of fighting.
Friday (22nd): MORE fucking LBP custom stages. Sick of it and I'm only halfway to 75. Heaps are short but several take AGES, or you get stuck due to poor design/controls. Hasn't been a single worthwhile stage so far lol. Might just try and blitz through the rest of them tonight and have it done with.
Not a whole lot of progress in Ni no Kuni today. Spent a long while trying to solve a riddle for a sidequest. You have to translate a bunch of runes and then type it into a text box. I tried so many combinations of the phrase and none of them worked.. looked it up online and found out I was looking at the wrong phrase on the page. There was a secret phrase written into the wizards clothes in the diagram. WTF Ni no Kuni, you dick!
As for Dynasty Warriors, finally finished Conquest mode and I'm getting back into story mode. Should be done with the game in about a week by my estimate.
Saturday (23rd): Fuck LBP, I'm going to play something new today.
Another hour in DWN, very close to completing Cao Cao's second chapter but at the end of my hour I ended up getting stuck at the beginning of a new level without the ability to save. I've set the Vita to standby so I don't lose any progress but it means I can't play my new game today
Ah well.
3 hours (!!!) in Ni no Kuni. Making a ton of progress. Made it to Hamelin and I'm doing a few sidequests before I break into the palace.
LittleBigPlanet: 5 hours
Dynasty Warriors Next: 7 hours
Ni no Kuni: 10 hours
February 24 - March 2
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (24th):
- Dynasty Warriors Next: Still playing through Cao Cao's new stage. Conquered half the continent and even destroyed the Shu nation and it's still going! Cao Cao is raping everybody over here.
- Asphalt Injection: Brand new game. Picked it up in order to do the coop stuff with STRANGEgenius. Pretty decent racing game with subpar graphics for the vita imo and a shit soundtrack. Luckily you can use your own music on the vita, and Asphalt has the option to turn their music off so the two don't overlap. Anyway it's a racing game so I spent the hour basically just.. racing, and stuff.
- Ni no Kuni: Sidequests up/out the ass. Still have at least another hour of sidequests before I can get to the next part of the story, too. Holy shit. edit: played for another hour and only completed 1 sidequest.. could be at this for a while.
Monday (25th):
- Asphalt Injection: Another hour. I'm not 5 starring many of the races (which is bugging my ocd) but I'm determined to push ahead and try and beat this thing so that I can move on to the multiplayer trophies.
- Ni no Kuni: More sidequests, and I still have another hour or so to go lol. 4 hours of sidequests!!! Earning some great rewards but holy fuck, man! I also swapped out Swaine's familiar for a new and hopefully better one. One of those karate tiger things from the desert if you were interested. Was either that or a Hullaballoon. edit: played for another hour (can't stay away!), finally completed as much of the sidequests as possible. Can't do much more until I find someone with excess kindness.
- Dynasty Warriors Next: Just beat the game (more or less). Very pleased with how it turned out at this point, so much so that I am strongly considering purchasing DW7: Empires for the PS3. Still, the game isn't quite over yet. There are some additional campaigns that I've just unlocked.
Tuesday (26th):
- Dynasty Warriors Next: Began 'The Tigers Advance' campaign, difference being I ramped up the difficulty to 'hard', and boy is it fucking HARD. Took me an hour to beat the first map. Got to be extremely careful because the enemy are incredibly good at taking over your bases this time around. If you get too caught up in your own fight against the various officers around the map a bunch of them can sneak into your main camp and take it over before you even know what's happening.
edit: put in a further 2 hours just to make some progress. changed back to normal mode as soon as I saw the hard mode touch control minigames.. absolutely atrocious.
Wednesday (27th):
- Ni no Kuni: travelled back in time somehow where the location of an extremely powerful wand was revealed to us. Currently scaling a mountain to find the damn thing. It's supposed to be able to help us defeat Shadar but personally all I'm hoping for is the ability to unlock all these purple chests I've been seeing all over the place
- Dynasty Warriors: More story mode, just trying to play around with as many different characters as I can before the game finally ends.
- Asphalt Injection: More races!
Thursday (28th):
- Asphalt Injection: More races! And possibly some boosting with STRANGEgenius later on.
- Ni no Kuni: Got the Mornstar (yay!). Still can't open those purple chests though. Now I need to run around and collect 3 magic stones to unlock the Mornstars true power.. I guess they designed all these new locations like the ice place and stuff, but ran out of ideas as to what on earth to do with them. So they decided I need to run around like an asshole to collect three magic stones hidden all over the planet. Great. Can't we just kill the bad guy already? I hate fetch quests lol.
- Dynasty Warriors Next: Beat of the two optional campaigns unlocked at the end of the game. Won't say who's because I don't want to spoil it. Proceeding with the second additional campaign, and a quick glance at the trophies reveals that there will actually 2 more campaigns unlocked further down the line. This game has a LOT of content.
Friday (1st):
- Ni no Kuni: Travelling around the world fighting monsters and completing bounties. Most of my familiars are reaching their third forms which is awesome.
- Dynasty Warriors Next:Liu Bei joined me apparently but I don't actually get to use him :'( ... that's about it really. edit: Beat "The Tiger's Advance" campaign during the second hour today.
Saturday (2nd):
- Asphalt Injection: More singleplayer races. Have to say I'm really pleased with the level design in this game. It's getting really fun now that the races are tougher and the vehicles are insanely fast now.
- Dynasty Warriors Next: Started the second last campaign, featuring a whole new cast of characters! Awesome.
- Ni no Kuni: Finished the current round of sidequests and started interacting with the Sky Pirates. Will need to travel back to the real world to fix the Tengri. Will be pretty cool to start flying around the world once I heal him from whatever is stopping him (her?) from flying.
Time played this week:
Dynasty Warriors Next: 9 hours
Asphalt: Injection: 5 hours
Ni no Kuni: 8 hours
March 3-9
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (3rd):
1. Dynasty Warriors Next: Another hour in the Jin campaign. Got to play as Sima Zhao and Guo Hiao or something. Guo was the worst character I've ever played as lol, which was surprising given he had a machine gun/cannon thing strapped to his arm. His attacks were all great to watch, but he was extremely vulnerable to attack from behind. At least 50% of his attacks would be interrupted because of this, so unfortunately he sucks ass. Should be done with this campaign in perhaps another hour of game play.
2. Ni no Kuni: Got the Tengri! A bloody great big flying dragon! And I can communicate with it at any time for only 2 mp!
3. Asphalt Injection: Stuck on some races. The drift mechanics are weird... as you're drifting around a corner the car will randomly straighten up.. so lets say you start facing north, and you're drifting around a corner, you'll spin back North and slam into a wall. Frustrating atm. The narrator said something like "are you sure you're using the right car?" but I have no idea which ones are better for drifting or not.
Monday (4th):
1. Dynasty Warriors Next: Completed the Jin campaign, was a lot of fun but too damn short. Too many generic missions and not enough character-based ones. Felt like I barely knew the cast at all tbh. Also started the Lu Bu campaign. He and Diaochan are both dumb as fuck and the story is ridiculous.. literally, Diaochan is saddened by all the 'chaos' throughout the land, so she convinces Lu Bu to annihilate anyone that dares to use violence. Righto.
2. Asphalt Injection: Still getting my ass kicked by 'Collector' race modes. I have no idea how to improve tbh, after mucking around with several stages and getting nowhere.
3. Ni no Kuni: sidequests! seems like that's all I ever get to do in this game lol. Oh, managed to grab one of the Mornstar orbs too(!)
Tuesday (5th):
1. Ni no Kuni: Current sidequest demands I carry around some familiar while it grows from lvl 30 to 40. Huge pain in the ass since I was working on leveling up a Bone Ranger :'( -- Second hour spent fighting ice monsters in the ice monster caves. -- 3rd hour spent acquiring the second mornstar orb and doing a bunch of sidequests. Wonder how close I am to the end?
4th hour:
Hello sir, please find these sages to defeat Shadar! Good morning I'm the 4 great sages, please help to find this mornstar to defeat Shadar! Nice to meet you Ollie-boy, I'm the mornstar from 15 years ago mun, thanks for travelling back in time to meet me. PS: please find these 3 magic orbs to fit in my holes so we can beat Shadar! terimakasih Oliver-san, I'm the big red orb, thanks for saving red blue and yellow but these holes are too small, please find a way to shrink us so we can fit in the mornstar and you can defeat Shadar!
Fuck you Ni no Kuni you slimy bitch
Wednesday (6th):
1. Asphalt Injection: Back into the singleplayer races. A couple of them held me back for quite a while (4-6 mins per try) and there were a lot of game design flaws, such as invisible walls and stuff. A LOT of them.
2. Dynasty Warriors Next: Very close to beating Lu Bu's campaign. Short and sweet, I love it.
3. Ni no Kuni: Queen of the Heavens! Will she be the one to repair the Mornstar? Well I don't know, because a new batch of sidequests just opened up!
Thursday (7th):
1. Dynasty Warriors Next: Beat the game! Finished off Lu Bu's campaign and spent some time messing around with the character-create mode. Anyway I'm all done now and will be moving on to Gravity Rush in combination with Asphalt and Ni no Kuni. Can't wait to try Dynasty Warriors 8 when it comes out on PS3.
2. Ni no Kuni: Finally got the Mornstar together but now we have to find the parts for and build a magic harp... Ridiculous. Fetch quests: The Game -- spent a few more hours doing sidequests, leveling up etc. Having a lot of fun even though it ought to be quite bland in theory.
3. Asphalt Injection: Slowly but surely making my way through the singleplayer races. Collector modes are still annihilating me but I'm making a lot of progress nonetheless.
Friday (8th):
1. Asphalt Injection: More races
2. Ni no Kuni: Acquired the final emotion (Ambition) and did some more sidequests. Must be getting very close to the end of the game now I'd say. Hitting the Miasma Marshes as soon as I build this magic harp thing that'll hopefully stop me being consumed by evil black energy when I breathe in the smog. -- well, it worked! Miasma was no match for Esther's tunes. She caught on pretty quick I have to say, considering that no one on the planet has had any experience with the instrument for decades. Anyway, we got the egg that Oliver's mum was hiding in, only she wasn't hiding in it! And then Oliver went into a coma. I'll have to wait til tomorrow to find out exactly wtf.
Saturday (9th):
1. Ni no Kuni: About to face Shadar, and instead of maybe breaking his heart, stealing his ambition/confidence etc as he's done to so many NPCs, we're just gonna murder him. -- Second hour, absolutely butchered Shadar I'm pleased to say. The Mornstar spell does a ton of damage and Esther/Swaine have become an amazing support team after 3/4s of the game being only modestly useful. Anyway Shadar wasn't the final boss it seems, so on with the story! Got a new human character to use and everything. Awesome!
Total time played:
Dynasty Warriors Next: 4 hours
Ni no Kuni: 18 hours
Asphalt: Injection 4 hours
March 10-16
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (10th):
1. Ni no Kuni: Going all out today. Already 43 hours in and this plat is taking much longer than I anticipated. There seem to be two main things I need to get out of the way once I beat the story, and that's to tame 250 unique species of Familiar (currently sitting on 122 unique types) and to alchemise 90% of the alchemy list. Expecting at least another 10 hours of gameplay minimum so I'm going to devote a fair bit of time to knocking it out of the way before Crysis 3/Tomb Raider arrive.
Monday (11th):
1. Ni no Kuni: details to come, I guess! (pm or something if you read this and just say something like 'yep I'm following along') I have absolutely no idea if anyone is reading this! edit well I'll keep at it for a little while. Another 3 hours in Ni no Kuni for Monday (total). I've actually completed every available sidequest by this point and am finally approaching the final boss of the game, the lunatic "White Witch" and her army of robots.
Tuesday (12th):
Another 3 hours of Ni no Kuni. Beat the final boss and started some of the post-game sidequests and stuff. Closing in on that plat!
Wednesday (13th):
Took a bit of a break from videogames today. Played a little bit of Asphalt: Injection here and there but wouldn't have been for more than an hour.
Thursday (14th):
1. Asphalt for an hour of SP races. Have about ~15-20 races to go I believe.
2. Ni no Kuni postgame content for a couple of hours. The big focus for the moment is acquiring all the materials needed for the Alchemy trophy.
Friday (15th):
Nuthin'. Actually slept for about 16 hours that day, plus another 11 after midnight into Saturday.
Saturday (16th):
1. Another hour of Asphalt Injection singleplayer races, plus I managed to complete a race without touching any walls (for a trophy).
2. Jumped back into Gravity Rush for a while. 100% Special Forces DLC complete, plus mission 1 from the Maid pack has been done as well.
Total time played:
Ni no Kuni: 11 hours
Asphalt Injection: 3 hours
Gravity Rush DLC: 1 hour
March 17-23
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (17th):
1. Asphalt Injection: Only one single player race to go lol, plus 200 multiplayer races.
2. Ni no Kuni for 2 hours. Slowly but surely accumulating the materials required for the alchemy trophy. A huge proportion of them are simply drakestones and iron diamonds, and I've found a pretty decent spot to farm them right by the Tokotoko's. Apart from that it's just a few bits and pieces plus the super rare post-game items that are gonna be a bitch to find I'm guessing.
Monday (18th):
1. Asphalt Injection: 1 hour boosting races online with STRANGEgenius, plus a couple of races against some random guy afterwards lol. His connection was so shitty, but I managed to earn another 3 wins PLUS the Berserk trophy, which involves destroying 5 opponents within 20 seconds. No fucking clue what on earth was going on when the FPS went to shit, but I emerged with the Berserk trophy and a smile on my face.
2. Ni no Kuni: 2 more hours hunting for alchemy materials. Managed to track down more than enough tachestones but there's still so many little bits and pieces scattered all over the planet that I expect to be working on the game for at least another 10 hours. Whoever estimated 40 hours for this game in the guides was an asshole! Already at 57 hours for this game lol. edit: went back and checked those guides and they've all finally updated their overview/roadmap to say 80+ hours to plat lol.
Tuesday (19th):
1. Ni no Kuni for 3 hours. Finished up almost all sidequests and gathered a ton of alchemy materials. Moved back up the Tombstone Trail for 5x Scrolls of Truth. Need them for the final quest, plus it'll go towards my um. Alchemy % thing.
Wednesday (20th):
1. Ni no Kuni for another 3 hours! Picked up several major trophies tonight, including 2000 glims, all merit awards and 1 more for visiting all secluded regions of the world. I've also made significant progress towards the alchemy trophy. In fact I'm 2 recipes away from getting the trophy and they're all super easy to acquire. Only reason I missed them is because I never found the NPC to give me the recipe list. Thank you google.
Thursday (21st):
1. Ni no Kuni plat INBOUND tomorrow. Put in another 3 hours today and I'm now very, very close to finishing the game. 1 alchemy recipe to go, 6 familiars, 6 bounties and the final two rankings in the Colosseum. Very happy with my progress and I'm glad I'm at the end of the road! Will be back to splitting my time between 1 PS3 and 2 Vita games again once this is over and done with. If I had stuck with my original format it would have taken me almost 3 months to beat the game.. Not cool.
Friday (22nd):
1. 5 hours of Ni no Kuni finishing up alchemy, taming familiars and handling the optional bosses and Colosseum. Finally picked up the Platinum Trophy too!
Saturday (23rd):
1. LittleBigPlanet Vita: Decided I might as well jump back into it and try to get it done. Spent another hour playing online community levels and I have about 8 to go I think before I reach 75 for the trophy.
2. Gravity Rush DLC for an hour. Finished off Maid Pack mission 2 and gold starred the free race challenge that came with the pack. Really struggling on the ultimate time attack challenge though. Not even close to getting silver and I'm not sure what to do. Will have to purchase the final Spy Pack soon for a further 2 missions and 2 challenges.
3. Tomb Raider!! Experienced my first major game bug within the first 15 minutes of the game (and that includes the cutscenes!). Game froze as I completed my first puzzle Still, graphics are amazing, deaths are brutal (and amazing) and the side characters have cool accents.
Total time played:
Asphalt Injection: 2 hours
Ni no Kuni: 18 hours
LittleBigPlanet Vita: 1 hour
Gravity Rush: 1 hour
Tomb Raider: 1 hour

Toggle Spoiler Sunday (24th):
1. LittleBigPlanet Vita for an hour. Finished off the trophy for completing 75 online custom maps as well earned a couple of create mode trophies, including publishing a cutscene level with a photo badge and stuff like that. Also figured out that tutorial modes count towards the 1440 active minutes required in 'create mode'. Very nice.
2. Asphalt Injection for an hour. 15 mins fumbling around trying to get online to work, 25 mins of delicious racing with STRANGEgenius and the remainder spent racing with some strangers (only acquired 1 extra win though).
3. Second hour into Tomb Raider. This game is doing everything right as far as I'm concerned. Jumps straight into awesome gameplay and story, perfect environments, great combat and plenty of stuff to do in between story points. Very similar to Far Cry 3 in premise, this game actually has balls.
Monday (25th):
1. Another hour in Tomb Raider; met up with Roth and investigated a wolf cave. Heading for the radio tower (under heavy guard, oh no!). edit: ended up playing for a further 2 hours. I'm actually out of single player Vita games for the moment so I guess if I can't do coop for that day I'll just pour any extra time into this. Experienced my first encounter with the Oni. Died straight away, too
Tuesday (26th):
1. Asphalt Injection with STRANGEgenius for a little while. Forgot to time it so I have no idea, though I would estimate I spent about an hour all up doing some multiplayer as well as finishing off the last race in singleplayer. Completely lucked out on the Hong Kong Collector race... easily the toughest race in the game and I managed to to collect the bare minimum of items by complete randomness. Just another 175 online races til plat.
2. Two more hours in Tomb Raider. Must be around the 75% mark in terms of the singleplayer story I think. Just fell into a river of blood :o. Anyway earned a bunch of misc. trophies so that was pretty nice.
Wednesday (27th):
1. Had a pretty busy day today. Managed to squeeze in an hour of Tomb Raider before bed. Feels like I'm getting pretty close to the end now. Few more hours and I'll be done with my first playthrough. Unfortunately I've just realised that there is a huge missable in this game in the form of conversations with various NPCs. You're supposed to listen to everything they have to say... I didn't. So I'll have to play through it again. Fuck.
Thursday (28th):
1. Another 3 hours in Tomb Raider today. Made it to the Shipwreck Shore, currently en route to save Alex from walking into the salvage team currently scavenging Lara's shipwreck for parts.
Friday (29th):
1. 2 hours in Tomb Raider tonight. Really worried about Whitman lol. He's so obviously going to betray us and kidnap Sam
Saturday (30th):
1. 3 more hours into Tomb Raider. Managed to pick up almost every single document, relic and GPS cache. I think the last document I'm waiting for is Lara's final journal entry at the end of the game so I should be all set for that. Very close to the end at this point. Closing in on Mathias and the Sun Queen's spirit.

LittleBigPlanet Vita: 1 hour
Asphalt Injection: 2 hours

Toggle Spoiler Sunday (31st):
1. 2 hours in Tomb Raider. Finished off the campaign and jumped into the multiplayer. Took me an hour to reach lvl 3 lol and I have to reach 60 a total of three times to get the plat. The multiplayer itself is a fucking joke. First match, laggy as fuck. Second match, PS3 froze. Third match, 3 lvl 40's vs 2 lvl 1's, and my teammate didn't move and got kicked almost immediately. 4th match, round 1/3 was fine but it dropped out inbetween matches. Round 5, same thing, only the players were dicks. On top of that, the maps are a mess and the combat itself is a clusterfuck of people dodging/jumping around, falling and then instantly climbing back up ledges, just stuff like that. The multiplayer is HORRIBLE.
I'll give it another go tonight/tomorrow but I'm strongly considering skipping this game for plat.
edit: another hour. I'm warming up to it a little bit
Monday (1st):
1. Tomb Raider for 2 hours. 1 in multiplayer messing about and earning xp, and 1 in singleplayer finishing up the collectables and stuff. All I need is to accumulate another 500 salvage and I'll be done with that playthrough; though I still need to replay the story mode later to get the "speak to everyone" trophy.
Tuesday (2nd):
1. Tomb Raider for 2 hours. Just finishing up some singleplayer content, including starting my second playthrough.
2. Back to LittleBigPlanet for a while. Spent my time searching 100%ing story levels for the Obsessive Collecting trophy. It's a bit of a pain but also kind of nice to revisit each level again. Will probably need a coop partner soon. If anyone needs help with the 2x sticker/prize bubbles in story mode let me know.
Wednesday (3rd):
1. Tomb Raider for another 2 hours. 1 in singleplayer working on remaining trophies, and another on multiplayer boosting xp. Slowly getting there
Thursday (4th):
1. 2 hours in Tomb Raider, 1 SP 1 MP. Picked up the deadeye trophy, so there's that.
Friday (5th):
1. Same again for Tomb Raider
2. Very close to collecting as many prize bubbles as possible in Singleplayer in LittleBigPlanet. Should be done tomorrow, and then it really is just coop stuff I have left to do. Not sure whether I'm going to attempt the new DLC or not. Super heroes aren't usually my thing.
Saturday (6th):
1. Picked up quite a few trophies today in Tomb Raider. I spent an hour in the campaign and finally managed to get the trophies for viewing all conversations in the game on top of another for rope-pulling 5 enemies off of ledges (harder than it sounds lol). Spent a second hour dicking around in multiplayer trying to pull off the glitch for a free victory in every ranked mode.. Took longer than it should have but at least it's done now. Expecting 4-5 hours of boosting til I hit level 60 and earn Shopaholic, plus a little more to boost some stuff like revive a person, melee 10 people etc.
Total time played:
Tomb Raider: 15 hours
LittleBigPlanet: 3 hours
April 7-13
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (7th):
1. Asphalt Injection for 2 hours, boosting online wins with STRANGEgenius. Managed to do 29 races out of the 200 required. We've boosted before and while I'm not sure where we sit, it has to be under 100 wins since we haven't received the 100 races (win or lose) trophy yet.
2. Another hour in Tomb Raider. Picked up the final singleplayer trophy and leveled up a couple of times in multiplayer.
Monday (8th):
1. 2 hours boosting xp in Tomb Raider. Currently lvl 42 or something I think. Soon I'll be looking at like 2-3 lvl-ups per hour
Tuesday (9th):
1. More xp grinding in Tomb Raider (1 hr). Looks like I still have at least 5 hours to go. Level ups have become amazing slow
.
2. About an hour and a half of Asphalt: Injection boosting with STRANGEgenius. At first I was enjoying it (more or less), but progress is agonizingly slow and we're not even halfway yet after something like ~6+ hours of play time.
Friday (12th):
Hmm, somehow completely forgot about Wednesday/Thursday lol
1. 2 hours in Tomb Raider. EXTREMELY close to the plat. I'll have it by tomorrow for sure, with about an hour left to go til I reach lvl 60 and purchase the last MP character skin (delicious Lara Croft). Very happy with that.
2. Another hour in Asphalt: Injection with STRANGEgenius. We *finally* picked up the trophy for 100 multiplayer matches, so we have about another hundred to go before we each earn 100 wins.
Saturday (13th):
1. Final hour in Tomb Raider. Got the plat, baby! Pretty happy with that.
1. Asphalt: Injection for an hour. Still boosting online MP wins with STRANGEgenius.
3. 45 mins in Crysis 3 before STRANGEgenius convinced me to man up and jump straight into Very, Very Hard mode. It actually seems identical to Normal mode somehow, though I'm only in the first 15 mins of the game lol. We'll see what happens.
Total time played:
Asphalt Injection: ? hours
Tomb Raider: ? hours [completely lost track lol; will update tomorrow]
Crysis 3: 1 hour
April 14-20
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (14th):
1. Only an hour today. Spent some time in Crysis 3 on Super Soldier difficulty. It's really not that hard as long as you're careful and you stay stealthed. You die real quick but that's easily avoidable for now
Monday (13th):
1. LEGO Lord of the Rings!! Some new vita games, finally! This one is pretty crap though to be honest. Very, very basic gameplay, BAD camera work, and some really shitty puzzles. Still it's pretty interesting just to fly through the LOTR story again with a bit of humor mixed in as well from the Devs.
2. Crysis 3: First attempt at the multiplayer. First impressions: what the fuck. Your typical FPS game modes only campers now have the ability to cloak AND shield themselves with nanosuit. Oh boy. Personally I don't like it. Just feels weird with everybody being cloaked all the itme. Plus there's hunter mode... I don't know if I just suck or what but I spent several rounds waiting to die as a human and then being outran by other players as a Hunter. For those that don't know, the whole premise is a team of 8 normal humans with very little ammunation vs. 2 FULLY INVISIBLE cyborgs with a radar showing everybody's location. Anytime a cyborg gets a kill that player then respawns as a cyborg and it continues until either all humans are dead or the time runs out. Humans have no chance and I can never beat the other cyborgs to their prey Didn't like it at all. ANYWAY at least the multiplayer is quick compared to Tomb Raider.
3. More Asphalt. Slowly, slowly getting there. Will definitely (most likely) have the plat by the end of the month. Perhaps by the end of the week.
Tuesday (16th):
1. Back into the Crysis 3 single player. Just managed to beat the second stage (which was long as hell btw). Somehow the devs managed to come up with an entire cast of assholes for Prophets teammates. Can't stand a single one of them lol between the Psycho's Claire and Michael and the creepy German doctor dude. Also got through my first few encounters with the aliens. They're pretty cool I guess but it's time for some new enemy types.
2. LEGO Lord of the Rings for an hour. Now that the Fellowship is together we've got an interesting cast of controllable characters with plenty of unique abilities. I don't think I've encountered any actual combat yet since the prologue but it seems fairly simplistic anyway so I'm not sure whether I should be looking forward to it anyway.. On the plus side I'm liking the humor. I'm glad they didn't take the LOTR story too seriously
3. NEW GAME. Spy Hunter. This thing is awesome, I love it so far. Each stage is basically a race to the end as you fight off a horde of bad guy cars as they try to destroy and stuff. Your car changes shape depending on terrain (even turning into a boat) and the weapons are interesting (if weak at first). I can't quite explain why it is I like it so much, but I'm very glad I picked it up.
Wednesday (18th):
1. Crysis 3: Snuck into the dam, broke some shit, and now I'm in a sexy river. Nice.
2. LEGO Lord of the Rings: Although they've edited this thing to bits compared to the PS3 version (which I don't understand, did they run out of room to add in the additional soundclips from the movie? Like instead of explaining why they got them or whatever, it's just like "3 rings to the elves, 7 to the dwarf dudes, 9 to humans etc." were they at such breaking point that they could not deliver the additional 50 words or whatever that the movie AND PS3 game included?) I'm really enjoying their sense of humor. The gameplay is still kind of mediocre but anything's better than that Tomb Raider MP grind from last week
Thursday (19th):
1. LEGO Lord of the Rings for a bit. Finished off movie #1, 'tamed' Gollum and gave up chasing Merry and Pippin for some reason when they wandered into the forest. I can't remember how that worked in the movie so I'm very confused, but unfortunately the hour was up so I guess I'll never know until tomorrow.
2. Crysis 3. Awesome hour today, rode down a river on a tube, stealthily stealthed my way into a secret facility and hackity hacked a "Kill Gun" out to get me (which took like 8 tries 'cause it was so tough). Anyway, bloody Alpha Ceph on the loose! Now we're gonna find a chair in a "Skinning Lab" to try and mind 'lasso' the Alpha Ceph or something. Why do they even have Skinning Labs? I thought there were only like a couple of nano-dudes anyway. Or maybe they made a heap of them in Crysis 2 or something.
3. More Asphalt. Very, very close to getting the plat thank goodness. Very, very close indeed.
Friday (20th):
1. 3 hours of Asphalt, finally got the plat. Will update the thread tomorrow.
Saturday (21st):
1. LEGO Lord of the Rings! I'm up to the battle at Helm's Deep. Nice one developers, the battle consists of Aragon, Legolas and Gimli vs. 2 orcs at a time. Only 2 orcs lol. Were they even trying? Is this the limit of the Vita's power?
2. Nice, finally found a coop partner for LittleBigPlanet Vita!! Plowing through the coop sections of the main game as we speak. edit: my coop partner has a mic! didnt even know the vita supported that. He also has a guitar apparently edit2: fuckn lag mate. lol it's SO bad in this game. I've never seen anything like it! Narrowed it down to one final stage, but it really requires precision and we're just not up for it with all the BS. May have to just trial and error the hell out of it until we succeed.

April 21-27
Toggle Spoiler Sunday (21st):
1. LittleBigPlanet for an hour. Tried and failed to acquire the final coop prize bubbles. The lag is just too much in this game. Those fucking assholes that made this game didn't test their product. The online DOES NOT WORK. When the game lags like crazy 100% of the time, DO NOT put your coop challenges in a level where you are being chased by a big metal dragon AND you have to grab and throw your teammate into a tiny tube AND where you have to restart the entire stage if you fail. Fuck you LBP developers, you're all a bunch of fucking assholes (probably). But Tearaway still looks really good so thumbs up for that.
2. LEGo Lord of the Rings! Finished off movie #2, mostly 'cause they're jumping all over the place on the timeline. According to the game the plot goes like this: Merry and Pippin disappear into the forest, climb a talking tree, and then the very next scene they're in they're sneaking up on Gandalf to steal his magic ball.
3. Spy Hunter for the second hour. Already halfway through the missions by the look of it. Looking to be about as short as Resistance: Burning Skies. It's still a lot of fun though. Definitely rather play this than LEGO LOTR, but it's still weird that they're already even recycling their assets and I'm only 2 hours in..
Monday (22nd):
1. Starting off with Spy Hunter today. Have about 6 levels left plus a few optional stages that I never tried that kind of branch out across the timeline if that makes sense... The game is still pretty fun. The bad guys captured our UAV thing and started using it against us. So it basically started carpet bombing the road and targetting me with massive Ion cannons and stuff. Pretty fun.
2. Another 2 chapters down in LEGO Lord of the Rings. 2 to go and then I can start mucking around with Free Play for all the sidequests and stuff.
3.
Crysis 3 Team Deathmatch for an hour. Holy shit. Was one really fun moment where I managed to jump onto and ride a mech or something, but I didn't know how to kill it so basically I just wasted my ammo.
Tuesday (23rd):
1. Started some Free Play side content in LEGO Lord of the Rings, picking up a 2x brick multiplyer thing before going on to beat some guy called the Mouth of Sauron. Don't remember him at all edit: ended up doing some more Free Play content for another 2 hours. I've picked up a 2x and 4x lego brick multiplyer. That means I'm picking up 8x the normal rate! The bricks are currency by the way.
Wednesday (24th):
1. Will be another 3 hours in LEGO Lord of the Rings today. Eager to get this and Spy Hunter out of the way by the end of April. Finished off the campaign and now all that's left is the Free Play side content. Shouldn't be too long til I have the plat. edit: OK will absolutely have the plat tomorrow edit2: screw it, I was pretty excited to get it done, so I did! Moving on to Spy Hunter tomorrow.
Thursday (25th):
1. Finished off the Spy Hunter campaign. I skipped all the optional missions though which is a shame because you actually unlock some cool stuff like the Shield and Cloak abilities for your car. I suppose the next step is to unlock the Spy Hunter Pro rating for each mission.
2. Crysis 3 for a bit. Kept trying to fulfill skill tasks or whatever, to unlock their full capability. So I'd spend 15 minutes clearing a level of enemies only to fuck up at the last second having to start all over. Maybe I shouldn't try to do it on the toughest difficulty, but I don't really want to have to replay the game afterwards if I can avoid it.
3. Draw Slasher! It's pretty cool for a touch-based game. Excellent artstyle, nice sense of humor in story mode and a whole heap of content for an $8 game. There was one moment of frustration with the controls during a boss fight because I couldn't get the ninja guy to dodge properly, but generally the controls work pretty well I have to say.
How do I describe it? Well it's a bit like an arcarde style game I guess. You move from room to room just killing enemies before you move on to either a) a new room b) a cutscene or c) a boss fight. I like it. I'm currently working through Story Mode however there is also a Challenge Mode and an Arcade mode to check too. Just a shame it doesn't have a platinum trophy
Friday (26th):
1. Spy Hunter for an hour. The optional missions are actually pretty awesome so I had fun doing those. Picked up a couple of easy trophies and continued doing all the side content.
2. Delicious Draw Slasher. Again the humors pretty cool and the enemy types are ridiculous but awesome. It's becoming more about simply surviving long enough to take out the more dangerous enemies (since they are invincible til they show their weakpoint or until you wear them out, or whatever). The controls take some getting used to, and almost all bosses count on the fact that the controls aren't as technically precise the D-pad or analog stick or whatever.
Saturday (27th):
1. Another 3 hours in Spy Hunter. Have to say it's a lot tougher to do some of these challenges than I thought it would be. Progress is quite slow at the moment.

LittleBigPlanet: 1 hour

1. Spy Hunter for 2 hours. Very, very close to getting the plat. I need to earn a 'Spy Hunter Pro' rating for 1 more level and then cloak for 2 mins in a single level. I may finish this off before I go to sleep tonight. We'll see. edit: didn't quite work out. I only have one trophy left and that involves accumulating 150,000 'research points'. I must have fallen short even after I Spy Hunter Pro'd every single stage. I'll just have to grind the rest, though I have no idea how long that's going to take.
Monday (29th):
1. Picked up the Platinum Trophy for Spy Hunter. Needed about an extra 5000 'research points'.
2. Draw Slasher! Final(?) boss is really pissing me off lol. Touch screen isn't registering my movements properly! The whole thing is kind of like a quick time event I guess. Markers very rapidly show up and you have to slash them in time. Works great as long as it's straight slashes, but as soon as it starts to curve all over the place I fuck it up.
3. Bit of Crysis 3 MP. Got wrecked in the first team deathmatch. 30/89, but they had some guy that managed to get 49 kills on his own so what could I do? I was facing a TDM God.
Tuesday (30th):
1. Finished the Draw Slasher story mode. Pretty cool I guess. Only took about 3 hours to get through it but the challenges look like they're going to take a long time to beat. They're really tough.
2. Crysis 3 MP. I suck at this game. Not enjoying it at all lol. Everyone's fucking cloaked all the time, and you get a bunch of real dick players that will just bounce all over the place with the massive super jump thing until they can rack up a few kills. Very, very frustrating when you're up against multiple people jumping all over the place around you. Even behind you and stuff. What are you supposed to do about that, start jumping as well? What a mess that would be lol.
Wednesday (1st):
1. Another hour getting my ass kicked by Draw Slashers challenge stages.
2. Finally going to try and finish off this Gravity Rush DLC. Did some missions/challenges.
Thursday (2nd):
1. More Draw Slasher. Mixing things up between New Game+ (Hard mode) and the infinitely harder challenge stages. Currently I've 3-starred 5/24 of them.
2. New game arrived today; Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. It's ok I guess lol. It actually makes me want to go back and play the Gex games from the PS1 era.
Friday (3rd):
1. Another hour in Sly IV. Really enjoying it now. It's a pretty cool game. Liberated Riochi's sushi shop and picked up a Samurai costume, nice!
2. Fuck I hate the Crysis 3 multiplayer. Will somehow have to boost these stupid trophies. Like why the fuck would I even want to melee someone with a giant piece of metal that significantly slows me down. Especially when everyone is fucking cloaked and jumping all over the place like assholes! Fuck and shit!
3. Finished off another hour in Draw Slasher. Progress is slow. Wish me luck.
Saturday (4th):
1. Sly Cooper Thieves in Time for a bit. The mini games are shitting me off but overall the platforming and stealth stuff is pretty cool.

Well I guess I'm very close to reaching Rank 20, but I'm still going to have to play for hours to beat the misc. trophies and challenges.
Wednesday (8th):
1. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Accidentally deleted my save file lol. Have to start over.

1. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Picked up a trophy for collecting 30 'clue' bottles and unlocking the corresponding safe with them.
2. Crysis 3 Singleplayer for an hour; finished off chapter 4.

Friday (10th):
1. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
2. Spent an entire hour in Crysis 3 just trying to airstomp somebody from 15m. Finally managed to pull it off at the last minute.
3. Started Deadly Premonition. Pretty interesting. Main character's obviously a psycho.
Saturday (11th):
1. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Almost caught up to wear I was before I accidentally deleted my save file.
2. Draw Slasher. Partially leveled up some more jutsu but I didn't really make any progress on the challenges.

1. Deadly Premonition: Beat the game (aside from a final cutscene or two in the epilogue). Very very close to the plat now. Just need to finish off some fairly easy sidequests and collect the remaining trading cards and that should be it! What a great game. The story was extremely good.
2. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
3. Crysis 3 (multiplayer). Reached Rank 20 but I still have a long way to go in terms of Pinger and VTOL kills. Don't even know how to get inside a Pinger tbh.
4. Draw Slasher: Man this thing is getting tough. Stuck on a single challenge: BODY COUNT. Fuck you Bodycount. Anyway I'm closing in on the 100%. 2 challenges left (1 of which I need to level up a bit more to unlock). Bodycount is stumping me at the moment so it could be something that prevents me from ever getting the plat. Still, I'll keep at it. Hopefully it'll just 'click' for me.
Monday (20th):
1. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
2. Crysis 3
3. Deadly Premonition
4. ATTEMPTED Draw Slasher. Fucking touch screen locked up so I couldn't really do anything... this happens occasionally for me over several different games (LittleBigPlanet Vita, Spy Hunter and now Draw Slasher). Very frustrating.
Tuesday (21st):
1. Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery: Pretty decent point and click adventure/puzzle game with a great sense of humor. I'm a little annoyed that I've already messed up a missable trophy or two, but at least I'm only an hour into it at the moment. No plat for this one anyway but I'd still love to have 100%.

Hi stupot00, thanks for the offer. I will probably need help eventually with LBP but perhaps not for a while. I'll be finishing off the singleplayer content before I even think about purchasing an online pass. Still kinda worried about the trophy that requires you to build a level and have it visited by 50 unique players though. I can just imagine completing absolutely everything and then sitting on this game for months/years/never before I get the plat.
As for the checklist, well it just seems like it could be a lot of fun. I've had it on my mind for a while but it wasn't til last month that I started to really give it some thought. Just having a look around earlier and I noticed that there are some really nice ones out there, though it seems a lot of these guys are long-time trophy hunters with checklists dating back to 2011. They can be a little intimidating to jump into considering the user probably has sort of a long-term fanbase with a fair amount of history there.

Thanks Qurb. I was worried I may have written too much but it was all stuff that I wanted to talk about at some point anyway... might try to either make it more concise or use the second post as something of a daily blog type of thing. I don't know, I'll figure something out. The issue is trying to keep information fresh whilst still accommodating newcomers or even just the people that aren't going to be checking this out all that regularly.

I'll be stacking the whole lot of images together up the top. Should look pretty impressive by the end of the year as I approach my goal. I expect Gravity Rush will be done in 2-3 days. Should I try the DLC do you think?

02-03-2013 #14Progress report for the first week of Feb:
Sunday (3rd): Couple of hours on Resident Evil 6, once again working towards completing the game on Pro one chapter at a time. Completed Leon Ch. 3 and Jake Ch. 1. Leon's campaign is all done now (1-5) so I have about 9 to go. 2 Ada, 4 Jake, 3 Chris(?). Spent some time on Mercenaries mode as well. A lot of fun and great for collecting Skill Points.
Monday (4th): Finished off Gravity Rush (may try DLC at a later date though I don't believe it will be worth the money they're asking for..) and aced the final boss in LittleBigPlanet. Will be jumping back into Dynasty Warriors tomorrow (Cao Cao's campaign, I believe). Should be fun.
Tuesday (5th): Spent an hour on LBP and DWN each. In LBP I managed to earn 50% of the stars or whatever for the bonus side mission touch-gimmick things which earned me the trophy. Also earned the trophy for bonce tappin' 1000 dudes (fantastic!). More campaign for DWN. Haven't played a Dynasty Warriors game since Xtreme Legends on the PS2 and it's like wtf, the story is exactly the same? Or extremely similar.. How many games are they going to show Dong Zhuo getting his ass kicked by Cao Cao or whoever? Anyway, Lu Bu showed up which was awesome, but his voice actor is ridiculously bad this time around. And what else... You can fight tigers now! Awesome.
Wednesday (6th): Another hour into LBP and DWN. Spent an hour on 'Super Conductor' in LBP. Wasn't as tough as I'd heard it was. One more stage to get ***'s for and I'll move on to the other arcade games. Did a few more RE6 chapters as well.Last edited by Outstandind; 02-07-2013 at 01:41 AM.

Nice checklist, i like the innovative use of circle and X for your ratings

02-03-2013 #16Nice Work! That reminds me I really need to jump back on to Gravity Rush Originally Posted by Outstandind

May go into more detail on my thoughts on the game tomorrow. It does a lot of things right and quite a few things wrong.
haha, thanks. I was just messing around with the smileys and found a few things I liked. They ended up looking a lot better than I anticipated so that was pretty nice. Originally Posted by parkerdip
