Stedde Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 19 hours ago, platinumplayer12 said: I would like to ask a question can you get points from extra games that you finish within this month if you can get your main bracket completed? And if you do is there any specific extra rules/steps that have to be taken? @Stedde This was asked by @donniemitsux before the contest start (view post on 29 Dec) and I said: “Yes, but for those trophies to count in the scoreboard only trophies earned after the 5 Games in the bracket has been completed will be counted.” So I will be true to my word since I said OK before the contest started. (Honestly I thought it would take a little longer for people to complete their five games ?. But people are really fast.) If you have completed your five games, any trophy gathered afterwards will be counted towards your final score. In retrospect, this maybe should not have been allowed. This is the first time I am running this, so I will learn and get feedback on how to improve going forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otenko_the_sage Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) I will definitely need to pick my games better if I do another contest. I picked some almost nothing but 100+ hour plats for this bracket. I'm thinking only alternating months to allow for more relaxed game choices. (really want to play some Atelier games this year) Edited January 14, 2021 by Otenko_the_sage more stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(really want to play some Atelier games this year) Yeah, initially I had picked games I wanted to be more relaxed about and complete over the course of the month. However, when I saw that games completed after the bracket would count, I played at a more hurried rate I planned. I think I would have preferred it to stay within the bracket as it added a bit more strategy to the choices. All in all, it was still fun to go through a backlog, but it would be nice to see the main bracket games to count quite a bit more than the rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im with you, thought we would all play the bracket and so I choosed games with lower completion rates so that the points system really counts. with the addition of other games outside the bracket, the points system makes no sense anymore. So I lost my spirit to compete for the challenge. But Im really impressed with all the progress you guys made. Keep going! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, since it's not written in the first post with the rules, I don't think people would get upset if you removed the extra points from additional games or at least reduced them. I feel a lot of people made their brackets with rarity in mind and chose some games that might be a little more challenging to complete overall, which would put them at a disadvantage with the additional points. Either way, it's your contest and I appreciate you putting it together regardless! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightVege Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 For the record, I'm totally in favor of accumulating additional points for trophies earned after the chosen five games are completed. Gives me more motivation to continue annihilating my backlog this month! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stedde Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Today I learnt that I will not be able to complete my bracket. ? Apparently Tales of Monkey Island cannot be played anymore. Due to the Telltale Games issue awhile ago the games have been delisted. You cannot even find them in you Library. This really bums me out and will haunt the "completeist" in me for many many years. Edited January 17, 2021 by Stedde 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otenko_the_sage Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I’m unfortunately getting very disheartened with my last couple trophies for Chocobo Mystery Dungeon. I think I overestimated my capabilities this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I have is a "trail" version and when I try to clock the "Purchase" inside the game I am routed to any empty page. Unless you have find another way?

Otenko_the_sage Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 @Stedde I ran into this problem with Digimon Cyber sleuth.

The change Sony did awhile ago with the web is that you only see PS4 and PS5 games. PS3 and Vita can only be found/view through those devices.

The game should have 2 entries in your downloads list, the activation key should be a separated file. (I think, unless it's a key for each Episode, forget how Back to the Future and Sam & Max worked). If I were you, I would double check on ps3 slowly and carefully again (I have several "cases" of not finding something in my downloads list, but after looking again more carefully, I found them there..). Do note that I have nearly 2000 items on my ps3 download list, so, ya, it's an extremely slow process for me too (and easy to overlook sometimes). Said that, I do think that my activation key for Red Johnson's Chronicles also disappeared from my download list.. But it's an extremely rare occurrence as far as I'm aware. As for my progress on the event, yesterday I got FF7R in a plat ready state (actually did everything in-game, even the stuff not related to trophies..), and I'm working on Sly 2 now.. We will see if I will be able to get all 5 games done before the end of the month.. (2 weekends of lockdown should be enough.. I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
