Another game completed, this time it's Mortal Kombat! I have very little experience with fighting games and the only one that I ever recall playing was Tekken 5 on PS2 (so technically by extension that's also T1, T2 and T3, cuz they were sorta included). And even then, my strategy was to just spam moves that are spammable. While now it's less mindless, I'm still nowhere as good to even think of attempting games you've put, but MK9 was sorta doable? I did online in time (thank fuck that WB dudes were incompetent enough to announce immediate shutdown and actually commit to it almost two weeks later), managed to get all time mastery objectives in last year summer vacation, then game went into the backlog. I already said my thoughts about the tower (hardest part of the game, though more than doable), so I just has the My Kung Fu is Stronger to do. And it went rather smoothly, I could watch videos on YT and input commands on my PS3 without looking and had a mechanical tally counter to make sure that I'm not overdoing on the objectives. And voilla, rarest plat from my tier done. My next goal should probably be The Evil Within, should motivate me to buy it's DLC's 1. Dante's Inferno (0.82% full completion, rarest trophy 4.44%) - 100% 2. Worms Battlegrounds (1.17% platinum, 0.43% full completion) - 100% 3. Mortal Kombat (0.61% platinum) - 100% 4. Prototype (PS3) (3.18% platinum) - 0% 5. The Evil Within (4.54% platinum, 1.58% full completion) - 0%

Well, my controller has that reset button-looking hole, but no button inside. Even made sure that it's not the toothpick that's too thick and it can't reach the button, but nope, in DS4 I can hear the click.

Forgot to mention that it's serious, sorry for the confusion

A while ago, when I was doing Worms Battlegrounds plat I started noticing that during aiming, I was fighting the controls, when I tried to adjust aim, pad was pushing it up and away, which I later learned to be stick drift. And that's a thing that somehow affected both of my DS4's. Now, while I'm grinding for MK9 plat, I've noticed an awful thing - my PS3 controller that I'm using for a week now, also has stick drift - moving my stick to the left, causes my character to move/dash to the right. Pad is not that new and isn't even official, but while it was in the other room, there were no issues with it, I didn't had any either, up until now. The only pad that I have and doesn't suffer from stick drift issue is a knock-off DS3. Anyone knows what the hell is happening and why suddenly all my pads suffer from the same issue?

So, since PS3 store shutdown has been confirmed, I'll be using 2nd swap to replace Greedfall with The Evil Within (PS3) New list: 1. Dante's Inferno (0.82% full completion, rarest trophy 4.44%) - 100% 2. Worms Battlegrounds (1.17% platinum, 0.43% full completion) - 100% 3. Mortal Kombat (0.61% platinum) - 58% --> 84% 4. Hive: Altenum Wars EU (0.91% platinum) Prototype (PS3) (3.18% platinum) - 0% 5. Greedfall (4.87% platinum) - The Evil Within (4.54% platinum, 1.58% full completion)

So, does this rumor has some backing now or we're standing on nothing? Don't want to scroll through ~40 pages, thanks for understanding.

No new plat, but a new update regarding my goals. I started working on MK9 and finished mostly everything that's not a part of the giant mastery grind - including fully finishing challenge tower!I suck at fighting games, so my strategy most of the time was spamming specials and uppercuts (and projectiles if available). Some were worse than the others, but biggest surprise was that challenge 300 wasn't actually the worst one. That cake goes to challenge 251, which is Shang Tsung vs Baraka, Sindel and Shao Kahn in a row. Shang uppercuts are slow, his projectiles aren't the best, even thought Baraka went down easily most of the times, Sindel's projectiles are much easier to spam (and AI uses that advantage) and Shao is just good ol' cheap "armor on every move" boss fight. Glad this is over. But now since that's out of the way, I have to do the "My Kung Fu is Stronger" trophy... Yeah... One character mastered though! Also, I'll use my first swap to replace Hive: Altenum Wars to Prototype PS3. Unless PS3 store shutdown rumors get confirmed by Sony, that's gonna be my only swap for this tier, otherwise I think I'll replace Greedfall with The Evil Within PS3. New list: 1. Dante's Inferno (0.82% full completion, rarest trophy 4.44%) - 100% 2. Worms Battlegrounds (1.17% platinum, 0.43% full completion) - 100% 3. Mortal Kombat (0.61% platinum) - 58% --> 84% 4. Hive: Altenum Wars EU (0.91% platinum) Prototype (PS3) (3.18% platinum) - 0% 5. Greedfall (4.87% platinum) - 0%

Does this mean that swaps to PS3 games can be reverted temporarily? Because tbh, I'm kinda worried about that as well and wouldn't mind giving some of my PS3 games a go earlier than expected.
