Complete Your Collection

[stokeriño]

Right, let's have a crack at some of these HD Collections of PS2 games that I re-bought for the PS3 and, y'know, barely played.

One such game is Zone of the Enders. We shall see if my general crappiness in battle will ever rise to a level that allows me to meet the necessary Difficulty settings and/or "Win Without Accidentally Killing All The Civilians" requirements. More likely is that there will many smashed buildings and many deaths, including myself (repeatedly).

Working on 3 games right now! Hopefully finish one of them this month! Said I would finish Naruto last week. But hey! Far Cry got released! So which games am I playing you may ask yourself:

 

 

These game will be completed (With maybe a Telltale game in between!)

My girlfriend picked up Lego Marvel Avengers, so I imagine that'll be added to my completion list soon. Fun fact, at least half of the games on said list are Lego games. >_>

Also trying my hand at Rocket League and GTA V.

Gravity Rush Remastered - PLATINUM

Fun platformer, easy platinum. Still got 8 minor DLC trophies to mop up but meh, I'll get to them in leisurely fashion.

Dragon Age: Origins
Platinum Progress: 43 of 51

Knew this one was going to be a trophy slog as the game is so long. Going through I have noticed that even six years later, I'd still make the same decisions that I did the first time through. Got two so far, should get two more tonight (which completes the game up to the Landsmeet, which is basically the end run of the game), then the rest over the weekend for both platinum and DLC.

Dragon Age: Origins
Platinum Progress: 45 of 51

Cleared everything and started part of the Landsmeet's extended quests. About to enter the alienage which is basically the last section to do before the final battle. Might jump into the Lelianas Song and Darkspawn DLC tomorrow before I properly finish the game, as they aren't post-game DLC but can be played any time.

[Avenged Probably]

If you haven't already done Lelienas companion quest you should do 'song' before hand, adds a lot of context to it. 

Also it is set before the main game so it makes sense  

[Benji]

I already did her companion quest years ago, and did it again in this play through. I was originally going to save all DLC I hadn't done until post-game but I'm getting withdrawals because this game is so long I've only received four trophies in two weeks

[Avenged Probably]

Haha yeah those games have the whole loads for when you first do things and then they're really infrequent. 

Seeing you post is making me want to play through them all again though.

[Benji]

I'd recommend it, I forgot how fun Origins actually is. Probably going to jump into something else as a break after DAO, but will be moving onto DA2 sooner rather than later.

[Avenged Probably]

Yeah may give it a go. I actually have the first two on PC so needn't worry about trophies too  

Does this mean you're playing on Nightmare? 

[Benji]

PC has Steam achievements!

No, not on nightmare at the mo. Apparently you can switch to Nightmare immediately before the only battle in the game/DLC that requires difficulty settings for the trophy so I figured I'd just have fun until then. Going to have to nightmare Dragon Age Inquisition at some point though. That'll be... fun?

[Avenged Probably]

I'm halfway though inquisition on NM and it's not bad. Just make sure you are the right level or higher (I found it easy to wing it under levelled on normal) and use a guide for builds.

I remember now, the boss on Golems of Amgarrok is probably the hardest thing you'll have to do. Such a dick.

[Benji]

I'm hoping that my Origins build should suffice for nightmare. I've basically made a tank with absurdly high evasion on his armor/accesories, and I'm going to make the others healers as much as possible with the respec item, so it should basically mean the boss' moves mostly miss, and when they hit they don't hit much because "lol, tank".

[Avenged Probably]

Weirdly the achievements for Origins seem to be in the game but not on Steam. Oh and for some reason there's a fuck load more than on the PS3/360 versions.

Done! Plus Leliana's Song and Darkspawn Chronicles done. Now to move on to Awakening which seems like it's larger than I expected since I thought all the DLC were about 2-3 hours max.

[Avenged Probably]

Yeah you can get between 20-30 hours out of it if you do everything. I actually much prefer the story of Awakening to that of the main game. 

[Benji]

Basically done it all in 10 barring some quests for the smithy which involve a lot of runecrafting junk that I cba with. Just got to do the last (two? maybe judging by trophies) story quests and done.

Is the Harvester on nightmare really THAT hard? Everywhere I look says he's a royal pain, especially as a warrior. I've got like 300 potions, a bunch of manuals of focus and haven't struggled even once, but that's all casual. Reading about the differences in difficulty - it doesn't seem like it should be that much harder. What makes it so hard?

[Avenged Probably]

Its really hard on any difficulty. The only reason I beat him was because the fight glitched and he got stuck in a wall for most of it  

Just general high damage/high defence, a few different phases and a fuck load of spawners in the fight. IIRC the hardest thing was having all my guys in the right places at the right times as there's shit going on all over the place. Maybe you're well prepared though and you can just spaff potions enough to survive. 

Isn't the trophy for doing it on Nightmare or Hardcore? Or am I imagining that? If it is the case I would go down to HC because I think the guy who spawn will be a lot less tough (NM gives ones with orange names I think). 

Edit: Just remembered, there's also some nonsense which hitting switches a few times during the fight too
