August 2015 Report and Bean Drive UpdatePermalink
I won 24 Trophies in 4 games, for a total of 778 TrueTrophy points (555 Trophy XP) in August. Although August was a slow month for trophies, I managed to play quite a bit on my PS4. The last half of the month was spent playing alot of Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and Rocket League.

In Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate I finished the main storyline and am now going through the extra chapters in the story. After story is done, I should be able to start getting a good amount of trophies for the game. I'm definitely not looking at getting the platinum as I got lots of fun games to play and not enough time to play.

Rocket League is a lot of fun. I keep playing online and also with my nephew when he comes over. I would like to platinum this game, just need to work on the grinding trophies (collect all items and drive 500 km). It would come eventually and since the game is a lot of fun to play, I don't feel the need to rush and grind it out, but I can play whenever I feel up for a game or two.

I was able to 100% Valiant Hearts. I liked the game a lot, but to save Karl perfectly 3 times was quite frustrating. I also played and 100% completed Never Alone. This game was a pretty simple game, but I really enjoyed the cultural insights. I guess since living on a tropical island where it doesn't snow, seeing how a culture lives and survives in constant cold weather is fascinating. I can't imagine living in a place like that. I can't imagine living when the sun doesn't even come up some days during the winter or when it is always out during some days in summer.

Well for September I plan on continuing to play Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and Rocket League. I am also going to start up and hopefully finish Ether 1 and haven't decided on the next game from my Bean drive list.

Here is my Bean drive list:
1. Rocket League
2. Valiant Hearts: The Great War
3. Velocity 2X
4. Race the Sun
5. Titan Attacks!
6. Apotheon
7. Ether One
8. Flower
9. Never Alone
10. The Witcher 3

I reached the half way mark in my Bean Drive recovery in August and hope to finish either in September or October.

July 2015 Report and Bean Drive UpdatePermalink
July has been a good month for gaming. I earned 59 Trophies (2 Gold, 10 silvers, 47 bronze) for a total of 1,506 TT points. I started July playing some Diablo 3 as I just couldn’t get into the Witcher 3 as I was burned out on that kind of game because of recently finishing Dragon Age Inquisition. I bought Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and started that game this month and then I decided to start a Bean Drive.

For my 2015 Bean Drive I dove into 10 games:
1. Rocket League
2. Valiant Hearts: The Great War
3. Velocity 2X
4. Race the Sun
5. Titan Attacks!
6. Apotheon
7. Ether One
8. Flower
9. Never Alone
10. The Witcher 3

I started playing Valiant Hearts and I finished the game. It was a great story and I recommend playing it. I am missing 3 more trophies to complete it 100%. I will be working some more on getting the trophies but I don’t know if I’ll end up getting the 100% completion. I also have been continuing to play Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and I’ve been playing Rocket League which are two great games and a lot of fun to play. I’ll be starting Never Alone next while continuing to play Rocket League and Warriors Orochi.

My Bean Dive for 2015Permalink
So, lately I've been in a gaming funk. I bought the Witcher 3, but I just couldn't get into it. I think it's mostly because I started playing it soon after I finished Dragon Age Inquisition and I'm a little burned out on that kind of game (open world RPG). Recently, I decided to go back and play some Diablo 3 and I got a Crusader up to lvl 70. Then I bought Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate which is a great game. The last Dynasty Warriors game I played was during the beginning of the PS 3 and it didn't even have trophies. Even after 7 or so years the whole Dynasty Warriors gameplay is just as fun and addictive.

I noticed the Bean Dive yesterday and after reading up on it, I decided to give it a try. (It's too bad I saw it late or I could have included the Warriors Orochi game in there.) I figure this is a good time to play those games I have (mostly the free PS plus games) that look interesting, but don't want to get started and lower my completion %. This will either force me to make up the completion % dropped or not care about my completion %. I decided to try 10 games. So far I have taken the dive on 5 games.

Games Dived:
1. Rocket League
2. Valiant Hearts: The Great War (I think I'm going to play this one first)
3. Velocity 2X
4. Race the Sun
5. Titan Attacks! (just like Galaga)

Possible Games to Dive into: (Choose 5)
The Witcher 3
DC Universe Online
Apotheon
Ether One
Never Alone
OlliOlli2
Guacamolee Super Turbo Championship Edition
Unfinished Swan
Skulls of the Shogun
Super Exploding Zoo
Flower
flow

So far I'm leaning towards the first 5: The Witcher 3, DC Universe Online, Apotheon, Ether One, and Never Alone. Although I can be persuaded to change things up. I don't think I want to go past 10 this year. Besides I'm addicted to Warriors Orochi 3 right now. Also the Witcher 3 and DC Universe Online will require quite a lot of hours.
