The Ultra Rare Cleanup 2021

Not a noob question at all! It's not a feature on this site, it's part of Husky's incredible Browser Script PSNP+, as @TrickyCompa linked above  You can create your own game lists there, so I have one for each Tier. 

 

I usually edit my images before posting them here to make them more compact. 

I’m glad you didn’t edit your image in this case or I wouldn’t have caught it. Up until this point I had just assumed that people who were posting screenshots of their lists were simply bouncing back and forth between their 5 games so that they appeared together on their profile as their recently played games.
 

It wasn’t until I noticed in your picture that you had actually run a search for “UR cleanup 2021” that you’d somehow manually created a list. I was looking everywhere but couldn’t figure it out and thought I was probably overlooking some simple button somewhere lol.

 

Thanks Tricky & Husky for replying as well! I mostly browse PSNP on my tablet, but I’ll have to fire up my laptop and check out your script. It looks like there’s some really great features included. ?

Heyo, yes! All 5 swaps are free for use, you can swap an entire tier if you wish (not recommended  )

 

 

Excellent, thanks for the reply dude. So just to clarify: I have 1 swap each tier and a bonus 5 to use wherever needed? So considering I've already used 1 for tier 1, I'd have 9 total in the bank?

 

Sorry if it's a stupid question but just want to be sure.

No no, that's not it. You have 5 swaps in total for all the tiers, you can use them any time.

My bad, I got confused when I saw a post saying more swaps have been added maybe I misread that post!

I would like to replace Unravel Two with Wolfenstein II (GER stack).

 

[Koro249]

Hello people. I‘m back with a new Tier 3 update.
 

Enter the Gungeon - 100%
Wolfenstein 2 (INTL) - 100%
Wolfenstein 2 (GER) - 100%
Verdun - 91%
Nuclear Throne - 56%

About a month ago I finished Wolfenstein II for the first time and so yesterday night I thought it would be about time to do it again.

Now, originally I had planned to save this platinum for my #100 as this game feels quite special to me.

So I rushed through the game on easy to unlock Mein Leben and went to bed. 

 

Today however, after dying once in the first section of the game, I totally unexpectedly finished my Mein Leben run on the 2nd try! With that out of the way so early, I decided to commit my day to the rest of the game and grind my way to those sweet 100%. 

While it was a very tiring endeavor, I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

I finished the game in a little over 1 day, which puts me in 2nd place for the German stack .

 

Now I just have to find a new game for Platinum #100…  

[Aecesaje_]

Long time no see! Completed Nova 111, pretty fun and quick game, no idea how it got all those Ultra Rare trophies. Next I hope to finish Worms Battlegrounds, unfortunately I really don't enjoy it so I've been putting it aside or playing it in really small sessions. Let's just hope I finish it this year.

 

Tier 2

1 - Days Gone (4.25%) - 100% +DLC

2 - Worms Battlegrounds (1.16%) - 14%

3 - Yakuza 0 (4.00%) - 7%

4 - Nova-111 (3.09%) - 100% 

5 - Superhot (4.75%) - 100% 

[zajac9999]

I finished Leo's Fortune (100% - 0.34%) last week. I was going to post it with some other stuff, but I then went to Ratchet and Clank and now I'm going through Hades so there isn't any more UR stuff to post lol. I don't think that Hades will stay UR after two months.

I don't think Hades will be UR either after 2 months. The game is rather chill once you figure out the boons + it has a devoted fanbase. Definitely the percentage will increase

May I ask how that game was? I have been eyeballing with it for a while now, but from the gameplay I've watched it seems... floaty and slow ? Would you recommend it?

I had a lot of fun with it, the list is very simple apart from the no death trophy which is a bit tricky as all no death trophies tend to be. If you like platformers like I do, I'd recommend it. 

[dieselmanchild]

Alright fellas it’s time for my first update!

 

Tier 1
 

1. Lords of the Fallen - 0%

2. Hunted: The Demons Forge  (4.82%) - 100%

3. Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition  (2.09%) - 100%

4. Slain: Back From Hell - 0%

5. Max Payne 3 - 92%

 

 

#223 - Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition

 

Well if there was ever an appropriate game to kick off my UR hunting career, it was probably Bulletstorm. Why? Because this one added a whopping +27 URs to my profile. Considering I had less than 100 to begin with, I would say I hit the ground running with this one lol.

 

I still don’t really understand why this one has so many rare trophies, it’s not only an easy game, but it ended up being a hell of a fun time as well. You would think trophy hunters would be all over this game, but apparently not. ?‍♂️
 

The game basically felt like the equivalent of an incredibly potty mouthed teenage love child born out of a drunken one night stand between Doom & Borderlands. The entire game revolves around the concept of “skill shots” - unique, creative, and brutal ways of killing enemies to earn currency points used to upgrade your gear. You have a leash on your wrist you use to pull enemies across the room or tear their heads off and it’s a ton of fun to use.
 

And that’s pretty much it, it’s just great gory fun from start to finish. I’d recommend this for some easy URs and for people who like their FPS games to break away from the mould a little bit.

 

 

#224 - Hunted: The Demon’s Forge

 

I picked this one up a few years back because it looked like an interesting fantasy action game revolving around online co-op with a friend. Unfortunately I never realized the servers got shut down around that same time so I was destined to go this one alone. Everything I’d read about this game beforehand suggested it was kind of a broken, unfinished mess that had some cool ideas but failed to execute. I went into this one with pretty low expectations, but ended up being pleasantly surprised to find myself getting really into it within the first few hours.

 

The reviews of this game weren’t exactly wrong, yet there was something really charming and enjoyable about this one that they all seemed to overlook. I’m a sucker for those dark, high fantasy worlds like ASOIAF or LOTR so the world it was set in piqued my interest right away. The co-op gimmick still worked pretty well playing alone, as the banter between the main characters and the ability to switch back and forth between them kept it interesting. The voice acting was quite good too, and featured some top talent such as Lucy Lawless, Laura Bailey, and Graham McTavish. The combat was also a lot more fun than I expected, it basically played like a 3rd person cover style shooter game most of the time with long and intense battles.

 

I wasn’t planning this either, but when I popped the platinum earlier tonight I realized it was also my 10,000th trophy which was super cool. ?
 

In recent years my longterm trophy hunting goals were set on reaching 200 platinums and 10k trophies overall. Now that I’ve finally achieved those goals I’m looking forward to setting some new ones for myself. I think moving forward for now I’d like to start focusing a bit more energy on chasing down some of those rarer and more prestigious trophies to add to my collection, as well as building up a little collection of URs for myself.

Update:

So, second game in Tier 1 down! 

 

 

Trials Rising - 100% Complete

Such an amazing gameI I was lucky enough to have a bunch of Trials veterans backing me and pushing me forward all the way through this one!

 

Truly now a personal favourite game of mine. The game is super rewarding when you take the time to learn the intricacies of the bike mechanics. Some people out there can do some mad shit on these games! I think I'll be fascinated for a long time to come.

 

Next up for me was going to be Rise & Shine - which I just picked up on sale for next to nothing! However, @Baker casually let me know yesterday that there is another game on sale currently, that, I might be interested in... 

 

So....*Gulp*... @Arcesius I'd like to use a swap please. I'd like to swap Rise & Shine out for Trials Fusion. 

 

Alright, let's get this!

Edited August 19, 2021 by KindaSabbath

[Joe Dubz]

Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor is complete, and thusly so is my Tier 3 list!!

 

Tier 3 (Complete!):

The Escapists (3.59%/1.36%) 100%

The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor (3.24%) 100%

Mercenary Kings (1.39%) 100%

Hammerwatch (1.19%) 100%

Wuppo (0.72%) 100%

 

What can I say, I had an absolute blast from start to finish! Arcesius already described it really well, so I'll save myself some redundancy in that regard. While many of the songs on there weren't necessarily my taste (if I have to hear "I Thought the Future Would Be Cooler" or that stupid "Bloody Waters" song one more time, my brain is going to implode ??), there were enough rock songs on there to keep me going!

 

The 2 biggest challenges for me, aside from a few daunting Arena challenges, were the 30 songs in Endless Mode and the No Pee Breaks trophy. For the former, I was struggling to find a solid party to see me through to the end, however fortunately @Arcesius made a wonderful mini-guide with stellar party options which I will link here, in case anyone else wants to try and tackle this beast! I was able to complete it my very next run using his strategy, and on Medium difficulty no less! This was due to stick drift in my controller inadvertently picking the harder difficulty, and by the time I realized this I was already halfway through the songs ??

 

An equally daunting trophy for me was No Pee Breaks, which means you have to play all 50 songs back to back without pausing the entire time. We're talking about 2.5 hours straight with no breaks!! For a 36 year old man with a wife who is 7 months pregnant, uninterrupted chunks of time like that are really difficult to come by! Not to mention I wasn't sure if my old brain would be able to handle the game period. But I guess I'm here to say that you can teach an old dog new tricks ? So I had to sacrifice some sleep last night to get it done, clocking the plat in at 2:11 a.m. my time ? It was all worth it in the name of the almighty UR trophy!!

 

 

That brings us to a very interesting juncture here, as I am just 2 plats away from #200! I have put some thought into it and I think I'm going for Super Meat Boy Forever to mark my milestone. Heck, I may even throw in My Name is Mayo 2 for a quick plat just to get me to #199! Ya I said it, so sue me ? I like to go for the occasional EZPZ plat every now and again, plus I thought the first one was hilarious so why not ? So here is what I've decided for Tier 4:

 

Tier 4:

Hyper Light Drifter (2.42%/1.5%) 9%

Slain: Back from Hell (3.82%) 0%

Super Meat Boy Forever (3.47%) 0%

The Escapists 2 (2.91%/0.91%) 0%

Velocity 2X (1.45%/0.33%) 8%

 

There you have it folks! Cheers and fantastic job popping all these incredible plats/100%s ? I feel privileged to be gaming alongside some really skilled peeps over here!

[Thedah]

Tier 3:

1. Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown - 100%

2. The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match - 100%

3. Slain: Back From Hell - 0%

4. Axiom Verge - 0%

5. Shiness The Lightning Kingdom - 9%

 

Finished VF5 and KoF2002 UM in the past 3 days. Thank god for turbo controllers. Virtua Fighter was mostly done while I was sleeping and KoF2002UM was done while I was awake ?

[AihaLoveleaf]

Tier 1

1. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (2.73% / 1.79%) - 100%  
2. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (1.19% / 0.26%) - 100%  
3. Catherine (2.00%) - 55%
4. The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut (1.16%) - 5%
5. PlayStation Move Heroes (4.30%) - 2%

Infinite Warfare is finished! It was a ton of fun to play, and it added 17 Ultra Rare trophies to my profile, including the Platinum. You love to see it.

 

Catherine has been waiting almost ten years to be completed, so it's time to finish some unfinished business.

The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor

I picked this up because Arcesius showed a little bit a gameplay here on the forums. I can always appreciate some unique rhythm games and for only 4,20 euro it was an easy pickup. Initially I thought to myself, what the fuck I am playing. It looks like a cheap mobile game and yet it is very enjoyable to play. It has similar gameplay as Amplitude but better.

 

Downwell

I am not sure what to give this. My ps4 was acting up for some reason and the game had a ton of fps drops when shooting and jumping on enemies, so all the time. These fps drops also happened in other games so I decided to use the rebuild database feature and it seems to have fixed the issues. I don't have an opinion on this game because of this.

 

 

 

Invisible Inc.

I gave my little rant last time but a quick summary. To much RNG in shops and this can screw you over. Bad reverse difficulty curve.

 

I will be using 2 swap to make Downwell and Metronomicon Count

1. A pixel Story - 100%
2. Invisible Inc - 100%
3. Trackmania Turbo - 73%
4. The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floors - 100%
5. Downwell - 100%

[vvinushan]

Hi all! I have yet another important update; I have 100% on Max Payne 3! I would like to tick this off my list with great pleasure

[GraniteSnake]

 

Max Payne 3 is complete. Delighted to have this 100%. Even managed to beat the NYMHC mode on my first attempt! Campaign was really fun, I didn't even mind having to do it 6 times. Besides, it was all good preparation for the final run. You need to utilise the third person cover trick, and abuse the hell out of bullet time. You'll almost feel invincible during your NYMHC run, especially compared to the 'Hardcore' run. In that mode you can be killed in a couple of shots + bullet time drains ridiculously fast. The score attack grind to reach level 50 online was almost unbearable, so damn boring. Spotify/Twitch was my saviour during this!

 

Tier 2:

• Little Deviants (0.60%) - 100%
• Grand Theft Auto V ( 1.79% ; 0.54% ) - 100%
• Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed (1.06% ; 0.53% ) - 86%
• Max Payne 3 ( 0.73% ; 0.32% ) 100%
• Naughty Bear ( 0.77% ; 0.24% ) - 8%

Working on Shift 2: Unleashed as we speak. I have about 60 tracks I need to master. It's going to be so much fun(!) Not sure if I'm in the mood for Naughty Bear, I'll probably end up swapping that out for something a little less time consuming. We'll see

[Thedah]

I'd like to use my final swap and swap out Slain Back From Hell to Street Fighter V. Decided to start SFV since the majority of the DLC is out and the fight money grind will be less of a pain with 45 characters. Managed to get Gold rank in one day playing solid fundamentals with Ryu, so might as well grind this out this tier and finish SFV off.

 

Tier 3:

1. Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown - 100%

2. The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match - 100%

3. Slain: Back From Hell - 0% ----> Street Fighter V - 40%

4. Axiom Verge - 0%

5. Shiness The Lightning Kingdom - 9%

I'll make a tier 2 list since i'm closing in on some more UR completions. 

 

 

How many swaps do i have left by the way? I know i've already used quite a few.

 

I finished 3 games. 

 

EVE Valkyrie

Tides of Numenera

Override Mech City Brawl

 

All quite easy. EVE takes a while to complete though. Would recommend if youre looking for some cheese URs.

@Baker? Didn't you platinumed Hyper Light Drifter? I'm having a hard time to get the 800 dash medal. I swear this trophy is nonesense and has nothing to do with the game itself. This game is so beautiful but this requirement for unlocking this outfit is just stupid -.- I didn't tried that long enough and my highest dash streak is 450 or something but man I'm getting hypnotized and having a tunnel vision after hearing the metronom  next to me. Is there any advice for that trophy except the metronom? I heard something about the green/blue outfit but the perks for that outfit is about some health stuff and not about giving you a easier time to dash.

I have. And there is a certain outfit that makes chain dashing easier. I can’t remember the colours of the outfit. But this trophy was pretty hard for me, so I might not be the best person to ask for tips. ? But I remember posting my progress and what helped me in the end here:

 

Great game. If only I didn’t need to search 15 hours to find my last gearbit.
