The Ultra Rare Cleanup 2021

[Eqill5]

My Tier 2 list, the platformer extravaganza! Really looking forward to playing through this fine selection of games! I have made a start on Dustforce and have began SS ranking the levels. It’s well paced and so far a lot of fun! Thanks for the recommendation @Smzthyy

Honestly if I can finish this tier before the end of the year I’ll be really happy, but we’ll see how it goes!

 

Tier 2:

Dustforce (0.36%) - 14%

Super Meat Boy (0.23%) - 0%

Rain World (2.91%) - 0%

Super Rude Bear Resurrection (4.92%) - 0%

Splasher (2.56%) - 0%

Great list! Super Rude Bear is criminally underplayed even though it's definitely not perfect. I have faith that you'll be able to get through these!

[SlimSanta94]

I'll be making a swap on my tier 2, i've started Wolfenstein 2 but it's something I think i'd prefer to take my time with, so i'll be removing that.

 

Atari Flashback Classics (Vita) - 100%

Wipeout: Omega Collection - 100%

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus OUT - Jump King IN - 11%

Futuridium EP Deluxe - 57%

Rocksmith 2014 Edition (PS3) - 97%

[Vergil]

Tier 1

 

SSF4 ✅

Ikaruga ✅

Darius Burst ✅

Fantasy Strike ✅

Kohime Enbu ✅

 

 

A "free" to play game but if you wanna get all trophies you need to buy the core pack for 17$

About the trophies. Only survival is somehow "Hard" even that its very easy. But consider the rarity for it its due to not many wanna pay Up for it,. Which is understandable lol. Though survival isn't so hard its also cause you can search for online opponents while playing and if you are att risk of losing. You can just pause and play 1 or 2 matches online and you will replenish health and start where you left off. I can safely say that it would probably impossible to beat survival with 50 enemies if you couldn't do this.

 

 

 

Kohime Enbu. Well many heard of the horror stories of Koihime Enbu Ryo Rai Rai. Think i will start it next by doing the challenges and see if i can manage it. This is vanilla version , which is easier ive been told. The challenges are not so bad actually. Though takes little time to understand the mechanics. These challenges are more off getting auto correct, cross ups and being just in right spot. Didn't find it hard cause they are long combos with 22 ,23 inputs. But it definitely pose a challenge. Unlike other fighting games with challenges you can't add other moves like SF4 , everything must be exact same inputs as in demo. But again i don't feel its harder than just SF4 , Umvc3 and definitely not KOF13. Maybe RRR changes that.

Good luck on RRR dude. Almost done with BBCSE. Finally got ‘turn unlimited’ which should make the grind for the last 3 items in abyss mode trivial. Hopefully it doesn’t take as long as it did on the Vita version. I basically spent a whole day grinding the last 5 items in that version. 

[Copanele]

First game of Tier 4 completed: Yakuza Kiwami

 

TIER 4

1. Yakuza Kiwami -  achieved
2. Catherine (PS3)
3. Mirror's Edge
4. Persona 4 Arena
5. Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3(PS4)

 

A very fun remaster with an older Kiryu. Not as fun as Yakuza 0, but it still was an enjoyable ride. Other than some minor bumps (mahjong not wanting to cooperate and a shooting section in chapter 9), this was a rather simple one, if abit tedious at points. Sadly Kiwami 2 is not an UR so I can't add it on this list.

 

However, as for the next game...I have no idea what to play from my list. Other than P4A all of the other games are equally tempting (or equally scary )

[postofficebuddy]

Tier 3
 

1. Littlebigplanet (PS3, Rarest obtainable trophy: 3.08%) - 50/59 obtained 

2. RWBY Grimm Eclipse (PS4, 4.21%) - 100%

3. Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend (PS3, 2.81%) - 100% 

4. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (PS3, 2.70%) - 70%

5. Rochard (PS3, 3.78%) - 42% 

BBCSE complete. At last I’m finally done with Abyss mode. I was thinking about putting the original Chronophantasma in tier 4 but I think I’ll hold off. I don’t want to get burned out on the series since I enjoy it so much. 
 

Supposedly the LBP server issues are about to be fixed, hopefully permanently. If so that should make finishing the plat a bit easier. 

[da_eMTy]

Finished my tier 1 list

1. Steep (2.60% / 0,43%) - 100 % 
2. Brawlhalla (2.03% / 0.06%) - 100 % 
3. Knowledge is Power (2,34 %) - 100%
4. Vigor (0.65%) - 100%
5. Knowledge is Power: Decades (EU 4,08%) - 100% ✔️

 

Here is my Tier 2 list. I hope I can do this aswell

1. 10 Second Ninja X (0,66%) - 0%
2. Hawken (0,65%) - 0%
3. Secret Ponchos (EU 0,15%) - 0%
4. That´s You! (1,84%) - 77%
5. Nova-111 (2,51%) - 0%

[Prometheous101]

Finished the first game of my tier Gun Club Vr, Mg survive and Vr worlds should be done in the next 10 days im guessing.

 

1 Gun Club Vr (3.84% UR) DONE

2 Vr Worlds (0.63 % UR)

3 Metal Gear Surive (2.12 % UR)

4 Nex Machina (3.34% UR)

5 Blood and Truth (4.91 % UR) -  0.96%

[Arcesius]

Alright I'm going to indeed swap one more game, as I had already mentioned:

 

Out: Fury Unleashed

In: Rive

 

I played the first 6 missions just now and the game seems pretty fun. I guess I'll finish it soon, so I'm currently thinking about Tier 3 already... Decisions decisions... ?

Tier 1: Update 3

1. The King of Fighters XIII (1.01% ) - 27/47 - 53% ✅

2. The King of Fighters XIV (2.09% ) - 41/48 - 86%  ✅

3. Grand Theft Auto IV (0.47% ) - 53/66 - 84% ✅

4. Mirror's Edge (0.64% ) - 49/51 - 90% ✅

5. RAGE (4.16% ; 0.69% ) - 24/61 - 32%

Tier 1: Last Update

 

5. RAGE (4.16% ; 0.69% ) - 24/61 - 32%  Uncharted 4: A Thief's End  ✅

 

 

Been a while since my last update. RAGE was not interesting enough for me to finish it off even though it was my last game of tier 1 for a while. So after using my first swap i'm all done with Uncharted 4. Only difficult part of this journey was completing the Survival mode levels on crushing difficulty. I luckily got some help in completing Survival and then got to work on the main campaign trophies. Thankfully I had already gotten all the collectibles on my first play through of Uncharted 4 back when I first played it. I only had to worry about my Crushing mode play through and the Speedrun trophy along with miscellaneous trophies to finish up this plat. Now I can say I have all 4 Uncharted games platinumed (Not 100% because of those pesky unobtainable DLC trophies in Uncharted 2 and 3)

 

My closing thoughts on my Tier 1 games; The King of Fighters XIII was easily the most challenging platinum and currently my proudest platinum of 2021. The King of Fighters XIV was a very grindy platinum for both offline and online. GTA IV Ballad of Gay Tony 100% was unnecessarily long but i'm glad to have the 100% done on this game, only took me 10 years according to my profile. Mirror's Edge was the most fun as I just love that game to death. Uncharted 4 was the easiest of them all. Now, time to begin my second tier and hopefully it won't take me another 6 months to complete it like tier 1 ?

 

Tier 2 Games

 

1. Battlefield 3 (2.92% / 0.91%) 92%

2. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (4.38%) 61%

3. RAGE (4.10% / 0.71%) 39%

4. Sonic Mania (1.82%) 19%

5. The King of Fighters XII - Unobtainable  (1.86%) 70%

 

Nothing really hard in this tier as i'm keen to make some good progress in this tier in a shorter time frame and picked the shorter games on my backlog to do that with. I made a little bit of progress on RAGE before ditching it in tier 1, so now I have to go back to it and just get it over and done with. Battlefield 3 is the only game here that I have made progress on during the cleanup challenge without actually swapping it in so now's a good opportunity to get the last two trophies. I wanted to put an unobtainable game on my cleanup challenge as I have a few of those so here's another King of Fighters game, why not?

 

[Vergil]

Tier 2

 

Wipeout Omega Collection

Fast Striker

Crescent pale mist

Max Payne 3

Umvc3 (ps4)

 

Not sure i will even do all but gonna try

 

[pinkrobot_pb]

I finished Farming Simulator on PS3 last week. The only 3 ultra rare trophies are for collecting 100 horse shoes, which takes about 2,5 hours in total with a guide.

The rest of the game is a breeze. After becoming a millionaire idling around you can use your wealth to buy the best equipment to actually farm for a bit and then finally rubberband the 1000km distance trophy.

 

It was fun for what it is, I can understand why people like to play these kind of games legit.

 

Not me though, it's almost June and I still have the first tier to finish. There is one game left for that. I will be using a second swap already, because it turns out that to do Madden NFL 11 you actually need to know quite a lot about American Football. Both the trophy list and the trophy guides I find are total gibberish to me. And to be honest: I would rather have this game sit at 20% forever than spend any time learning about it.

 

So anyway, tier 1:

1. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (PS3)
2. NASCAR The Game: Inside Line (PS3)
3. Wolfenstein (PS3)
4. Farming Simulator (PS3) 100%
5. Madden NLF 11 (PS3) -> Becomes NASCAR Heat 3 (PS4)

You were so close to getting the online trophies for that one, damn  kinda annoyed that it's the only game in the KoF list with unobtainable trophies, but I heard it wasn't that great either way.

Shame about that, at least I can eventually have all the KoF games on my profile even if one of them is not 100%. Got to take my small victories where I can lol.

[GraniteSnake]

Making a swap because of today's announcement of multiple server closures in the NFS series.

 

Tier 2:

• Vanquish (2.32%) - 1%
• WipEout Omega Collection (1.29%) - 11% Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed (1.06% ; 0.53% ) - 0%
• Little Deviants (0.60%) - 91%
• Worms Battlegrounds ( 1.16% ; 0.43%) - 26%
• Naughty Bear ( 0.77% ; 0.24% ) - 8%

I'm also one trophy away from completing Little Deviants. I'm currently at 25/30 gold spaceships and slowly losing motivation. The levels I have left are: Corridor Calamity, Tower of Boing, Neutron Nudger, Cannon Codes and Manic Melter - these will be an absolute pain in the ass to complete! Hoping to knock this game out this coming week..

[ExistentialSolid]

Don't Die, Mr. Robot (2.26%) - 100%

One part challenge, two parts tier-filler, this game was good for some mindless "avoid-everything-that-wants-to-kill-you" gameplay and was pretty addicting too! If nothing else, it can fill the void as background entertainment if you've got a stream or some videos to catch up on. Something I was a little iffy on, however, was the remix challenge design. Instead of including challenges that take advantage of the game's cast and their abilities, specific characters essentially serve as "easy-mode" options for players looking to breeze through this game as quickly as possible. There's untapped potential here and it's frustrating.

Broforce (0.50%) - 100%

 

I've gotta be honest, I didn't have a great time with this game. Brute-forcing my way through 60+ uninspired levels with randomly selected heroes that may as well be made of paper was an aggravating slog on both hard and ironbro mode (even with save-scumming) and one I'd wholeheartedly suggest avoiding unless the rarity appeals to you. That said, I did enjoy the ridiculousness of the game (as a parody of the US/action-movies, they absolutely nailed it)!

--

With these last two games finished, tier 4 is done! 

Tier 4
1. Don't Die, Mr. Robot! (2.26%) - 100% ✅
2. Broforce (0.50%) - 100% ✅
3. Nova-111 (2.49%) - 100% ✅
4. Star Wars Racer Revenge (1.71%) - 100% ✅
5. Anodyne (2.97%) - 100% ✅

 

Since there's no limit to the number of games you can add to Tier 5, I've decided to list almost every UR game I could possibly finish (among the games I own) between now and the end of 2021 so that I can pop in from time to time with completions instead of worrying about whether game X is on my current tier. Of course, I have no plans to do them all. I'm just laying all of my options on the table.

Glad to finally make it to tier 5 though! No more swaps from me!

Could you post a link please, just so I see which servers are shutting down? If it's a server shutdown, the swap is free if you want to knock that game off.

I will also update the main page.

5th Game and tier 3 done:

 

Curses n' Chaos

 

 

I really like the Artstyle and Gameplay, it is a solid Indie Game.

It was a challenge at first, but after i got used to everything it was doable..just because of the "Agent of Chaos" trophy i would rate it like 7/10

I've lost way to many 150+ chains, because of bad RNG..?

 

TIER 3:

1. Road not taken / 0,53% - 100%

2. Nova-111 / 2,49% - 100%

3. Aaru's awakening PS4 / 2,17% - 100%

4. Curses n' Chaos / 0,68% - 100%

5. Skullgirls Encore / 2,01% - 100%

 

TIER4:

1. Secret ponchos (EU) / 0,15% - 0%

A bit late, but I've finished The Evil Within, now with 100%! DLC's are thankfully nowhere as hard as TEW's base list and they go quite fast too. I liked Assignment and Consequence for it's story-telling, though lighting on PS3 is much worse, especially with chemical lights only sections (like that one Shade section in Consequence). Executioner was fun too, though I've found myself using hammer most of the time and except for rockets, didn't really use anything else (with exception of final execution chamber). Overall, nice change of pace from the painful experience of Prototype. Also, tier 1 finished!

 

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) - 100%

5. The Evil Within (4.54% platinum, 1.58% full completion) - 100%

 

My tier 2 list:

 

1. The Swindle (1.09%) - 42%

2. DuckTales Remastered (2.58%) - 0%

3. Grand Theft Auto 4 (0.93% plat, 0.47% full completion) - 20%

4. ???

5. ???

 

Those two unpicked games might be Kane & Lynch 2 and Fall Guys, but not sure atm, so leaving it at that.

[Dzware]

Finished Lumo! It was pretty weird, but somewhat charming game, but the trophy list with 36 highly missable trophies combined with auto saves made it quite annoying. Messed up the ducks trophy somehow as well, so had to do an extra half playtrough for that. I had a couple legit attempts on old school mode, but after losing all my lives in a short time at about 70-80% of the game, I got annoyed and just used the glitch to get it over with?

 

So that's Tier 2 completed now:

 

Tier 2

Catherine (PS3, 1.27%) - 100%

Futuridium (PS4, 0.08%) - 100%

Kung Fu Panda (PS4, 0.73%) - 100%
Limbo (PS4, 2.11%) - 100%

Lumo (PS4, 0.70%) - 100%

 

For Tier 3 I'll mostly focus on finishing up games I've already started:

 

Tier 3

Grand Theft Auto IV (0.47%) - 82%

LittleBigPlanet 2 (3.21%) - 43% 

Fall Guys (2.13%) - 83%

WipEout Omega Collection (1.28%) - 25%

Jotun (2.78%) - 0%

 

LBP2 has delisted DLCs, so after discussing it with @Copanele I will only be going for the platinum in that one (got the base game community trophies done at least)

Edited June 1, 2021 by Dzware

[Varhur]

First tier 2 game finished and it's The Swindle, yeah, quick update, but I got really lucky with By George trophy and instead of 1-2 thousand of attempts to find one specific address, I got it within 132 attempts. Besides that, it's a pretty fun platforming heist game, though controls are iffy (you can sometimes hover over slopes and that counts as being mid-air so additional jumps don't recharge) and many trophies require good RNG that game doesn't want to give often (like Smash and Grab, bad level generation means that you're screwed).

 

1. The Swindle (1.09%) - 100% ?

2. DuckTales Remastered (2.58%) - 0%

3. Grand Theft Auto 4 (0.93% plat, 0.47% full completion) - 20%

4. ???

5. ???
