I love this game so bad. Truly feels so epic to have it fully completed now

I got all the achievements when it launched on Xbox. Happy to do it again after making Playstation my primary console. EDIT: #18

I love this series and I’m eagerly awaiting the Code Veronica remake.

The campaign was a masterpiece, and veteran was pretty easy compared with cod classic, but doing all the spec ops missions on solo, playing with 2 controllers at once for the 2 mandatory coop ones was harder or at the very least the same level as cod classic veteran, despite the challenge im doing being about offline platinums, i don't mind using online features or getting help, but i could not find anyone from brazil to help and i heard is impossible to play with people from other countries beacuse of lag, so i did it solo and it looks like spec ops on mw3 is even harder, lets see

fun fact is that i am from Rio, and today i had to go to the other side of the city and i saw the christ statue from the road, so i planned to get the platinum screenshot while also looking the statue

number 53 of my all ps3 offline platinums challenge

I got these this year

After taking a break after getting the plat on BBS and DDD and being halfway there for ReCom, I just realized I haven’t played KH1 since the initial release on PS2. So after a 2-3 year long break I chose to continue the hunt for all plats. Had a blast replaying it but proud mode really kicked my ass at times (fucking final rest and Ansem 3 fight!!!)

Off to KH2!

I really wish more games were as unique as this one.

Pretty much sums up the journey and finally have all the fromsoft platinums!

Fantastic game. Might be my new favorite Castlevania and I’ve played almost all of them. Art direction is amazing.

You know, every now and then you come across a game that leaves you staring at the TV after the credits roll. A game that leaves you feeling empty after it’s completed. A game that imprints itself on you in such a deep and profound way. Pragmata was one of those games.

I love so much about this game that I feel a little lost as to where to start.

The game’s biggest strength is easily the relationship between Hugh and Diana. Every single moment is beautiful and heartwarming. Grace Saif’s stellar performance as Diana is up there as some of the best I’ve experienced, and combined with some incredible writing, Diana steals the show whenever she is on screen. She is this eternally bright spark in a bleak, depressing sci-fi setting, and her relationship with Hugh extends into a relationship with you as the player. You want to talk to her. You want to collect REM data to give to her in the shelter. She transcends what an NPC should be. Make no mistake, this entire game is about their father-daughter relationship. The plot exists to further their bond, no other reason.

The plot itself is fairly predictable and safe, but it doesn’t need to be anything different. In fact, I’d argue that the game’s predictability strengthens its emotional aspect. I won’t say much more for fear of spoiling it, but for those that have finished the game, you’ll know what I mean.

Diana isn’t just a nice story beat; Capcom’s innovative hacking system forces a reliance upon her. Hugh is useless without her. The combat is fast paced, demanding you to manage positioning, the hacking system to provide openings, and offence all at once. It does this all without becoming overwhelming and is always enjoyable. I never got sick of the combat, and there’s a huge variety in ways to overcome the game’s many combat scenarios. The few boss fights are all great, and on lunatic difficulty they provide a decent challenge. You have to be tactical to overcome them, especially the upgraded version of the final fight.

Another small thing, but I really liked the shelter. It’s exactly what a hub should be. Seeing it gradually change as you gather collectibles is incredibly satisfying. Collectibles aren’t there without purpose, they again serve to provide additional aspects to Diana and Hugh’s relationship, and the shelter is where it all comes together.

Also, goes without saying, but the game looks and sounds fantastic. It runs smoothly, and I experienced no performance issues during many run.

Usually this is where I’d say what I didn’t like about the game… and my only real complaint is the length. When my only issue is that I’m left wanting more of the game I’m playing, that’s a pretty damn good sign I enjoyed it.

Platinum was a fairly simple affair, beat the game, collect the things, do some miscellaneous stuff. You know the drill. The game is rated a 6/10 difficulty but this is really only pertinent to lunatic difficulty and the final boss, and even then you’re given enough tools to reliably overcome all of the truly difficult obstacles.

I encourage everyone to give Pragmata a go, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. It has some of the best writing I’ve come across in a long time, and it’s exceptionally rare I care about the characters in the same way I did here. And, on the infinitesimally small chance someone at Capcom is reading this - give us a sequel, thanks.

10/10

This game definitely has one of the most difficult veteran playthroughs in the COD franchise. Most of the miscellaneous trophies were entertaining to achieve, but some were downright frustrating and RNG heavy.

It’s a shame that Declassified doesn’t have a zombies mode as well. It would’ve made this a top 5 Vita game for sure. Even the Black Ops port for the NDS has a zombies mode ffs.

I say the most annoying trophies is the rng one with the fountain. Hoping to get 30 punishment as it's random if you do. Then you gotta get 30 blessings as well.

it took me about 140h with about 80 hours of grinding lmao

Game was a little on the easy side, besides getting lost occasionally.. or maybe a lot 🤔 lol.. but still had fun!

Initially I wasn't enjoying it but when combat clicks, you feel like an actual god. Side quests and Kyoto were a bit meh but it feels sooooo good when you're in combat, you almost forget it.

Never like when they take stuff away in NG+ though.

Huge recommend

Finally got the plat! For anyone considering it, other than the race, classic difficulty is definitely the best way to play, I didn’t think it would be but it’s so much fun having to be somewhat tactical. It’s not as hard as people say, but the race is rage-inducing!
