The Ultra Rare Cleanup 2021

[Mori]

Also completed Bulletstorm, fun game and like Bakker said easy UR trophies. This concludes my Tier 3 and I am going to prepare a list for next year's edition. See you all there.

I haven't been around much, but you all absolutely killed it this year! I really enjoyed my time with this event and was so happy I could contribute to a good cause by doing something I enjoy. Thank you!

 

Before I forget, I just wanted to toss one last completion in. I finished Slime-san a bit ago, but didn't get around to adding it here. Great little platformer with entirely too many levels, but it was still a fun time.

 

I'll probably come back to some of my list at a later date--but, I've been focusing my gaming time elsewhere for the time being. I am a little disappointed that I wasn't able to get Fenix Furia to pop that last death trophy despite having spent so much time trying. Otherwise, this event has made my time gaming on PS4 quite enjoyable this year.

 

Thanks again!

 

Recent Completion:

• Slime-San (3.06%)

Finished another game: Wet. This will be my last game for the UR Clean Up 2021. I will put Silent Hill 2 HD in my 2022 UR Clean Up list. Peace

Hello everyone! 

 

This is only a quick post regarding the additional, volontary member donations... Some of you have already reached out to me, and will be getting the details soon As I see it, there are two options. IF you want to make a small donation to either of the organizations, then either: 

• You can make the donation directly to the organization of your choice. 
• You can contact me via DM. I have a € account even if I live in Switzerland, so there should be no fees even if you are transferring some money from a country where you have € ? I will then make my own donation together with everything that comes together otherwise. 
  If you want to contribute this way, then please contact me ASAP, since I plan on making the donation still this year. 

If you live in a country where the currency is not Swiss Francs or Euro, then it's best if you make the donation directly yourself  

 

Already a big thank you to anyone that wants to make a contribution as well!

Hi everyone,

 

I am pleased to report that the first donation is done. It is actually the very first time I've done a donation and I am happy it was possible to combine it with such an amazing and fun event.

 

For the following two donations I'll use this post and edit it. Like I said in a prior post the donations going to happen mid 2022 and end of 2022.

Since alz.org only allows donations in $, I was not able to make a pinpoint 250€ donation but I make sure the next one will be a bit over it. (This one is 245€)

 

Thanks again to everyone for participating and I wish you all calm and happy holidays.

Thanks for doing this!

I was hoping I could finish Laser League within this year, but I won't. When sickness, sleeping fucked, power outrage, dinners, crashes, work, broken stuff in-game... all hit your group in just a few sessions you don't even know if you should laugh or cry. So I can pretty safely say that I'm done with the event with 2 new cleared game:

 

• Splasher (3.09%) - 100% ✅
• Metal Gear Survive (2.14%) - 100% ✅
• whatever the rest of my tier was... failed ❎

I'm satisfied enough with the games I managed to clear during this event, there is some regret for having joined late on it. See you in the 2022 event for more UR games.

Thanks to @Copanele @Mori @Arcesius for this event, it has been a pleasure to participate. Good job to everyone for all the games you have cleared during this year ?

[Arcesius]

Hi everyone, 

 

The year is almost over, so I went ahead and also sent my donation. It was not only my contribution, but the amount also contains additional donations by the awesome @S_y_n_e_IR_g_Y, as well as @da_eMTy, who added some money to the donation pot and put some more bounties on the board. Thank you both a lot for your contribution! Really appreciate it, you rock!  

 

 

Now, the 2022 edition of this event was already announced, and sign-ups have already reached once again incredible numbers. I'm sure it will be just was fun and full of amazing accomplishments as this edition has been. I have had a ton of fun co-hosting this event, and all thanks to you all who really contributed towards maintaining a positive, encouraging atmosphere and entertained us all with your great write-ups. 

 

Thank you all once again for participating, for challenging yourselves and for encouraging others to go after tough challenges! 

 

For the time being, enjoy what's left of 2021 and see you all next year!   

[blu3st4rdust305]

A week later, only 2 completed on my second tier.  Added my second rarest platinum so far with Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. 

 

Tier 2:

Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality (4.56%) 0 -> 100%

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (1.51%) 0 -> 100%

Playstation VR Worlds (0.63%)

Tumble VR (4.11%)

Gun Club VR (2.87%)

 

I really doubt I will have time to knock out any more between work and NYE.  I plan to carry strong into 2022. Great event!. Thanks for putting it on!

[Prometheous101]

[FrediPy_]

Since I'm not finishing any more games this year (holidays with the family, so I'm not playing), I'd like to finish my participation here by thanking the organisers for putting together this event and for those donations, you are legends. Despite joining in quite late, I loved the idea of having something pushing me into challenges, and I'll try to do much more in the 2022 edition. See you all there! ?

Tier 5 - Final Update



The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor (3.28%) ✅

 

Before we ring in the new year, I wanted to celebrate the end of 2021 by clumsily attempting to slay the dance floor in one final game. Much like in real life, you don't really need to be good at dancing to win over the room with your moves. In Metronomicon, rhythm takes a backseat in favor of optimized party builds and team synchronicity. Since you won't need to turn your fingers into dust hammering out that one tricky solo, this game would make a great gateway rhythm experience for players that excel at RPGs, but aren't convinced they have the chops for something a little more fiery (I don't excel at RPGs, so I was confused most of the time ?). But that's enough about the game...

2021, much like 2020, has been a year filled with gloom, loss, hollow words, and a crushing sense of isolation. Being able to play games alongside you all and bring even a little bit of light to our dark and dreary world has helped give meaning to this whole trophy hunting thing. Thank you all so much for having me! Fingers crossed that 2022 is a little less brutal. 

Special thanks to @Copanele, @Mori, & @Arcesius for organizing the event and for being such gracious hosts. I hope your donations, along with @da_eMTy and@S_y_n_e_IR_g_Y's generous contributions, manage to brighten someone's day! ?

And while I'm at it, thanks @da_eMTy and @S_y_n_e_IR_g_Y for donating, and thanks @Copanele, @Arcesius, and @Mori for the event! Also, thanks to everyone who participated; it was really fun to do this as a community. I joined this event late this time, but I plan to go hard in 2022's event.

 

Happy New Year everyone!

[Copanele]

gg to everyone that actually completed their tiers tho, y'all are some real gamers

[GraniteSnake]

One final swap. (Uncharted 4: A Thief's End for Outlast) Finally finished Uncharted 4 yesterday. Got carried through the survival mode by an absolute tank, went through all 10 stages back to back on Crushing, only failing just one of the 50 rounds once! It only took us two hours total, saved me probably 50+ hours ? The guy is an absolute legend, hosting a massive session on PSNP and doing carries over the Christmas period out of the kindness of their heart. So that's it, managed to finish two tiers for this event. Hoping to knock out at least another 10 in the 2022 event!

 

Thanks to @Arcesius @Copanele @Mori for being such good hosts, and congratulations to every participant for their amazing progress throughout the year!

 

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% ) - 100%
• Max Payne 3 ( 0.73% ; 0.32% ) 100%
• Uncharted 4: A Thief's End ( 10.39% ; 0.86% ) 100%

[Arcesius]

Final Standings and some more numbers!

 

Thanks everyone for your patience! We are now halfway through the first month of January in this new year, and I think it is time to finally announce the winners of "The Ultra Rare Cleanup 2021"! 

 

The reason why we haven't done sooner is because we wanted to wait for the badges to be ready. We are very lucky, and I am personally extremely grateful to @Man of Inaction, who didn't even participate in this event, for agreeing to provide us with a badge. 

They will be posted later today (or tomorrow, depending on where you live  ) by him personally, but I already want to express my gratitude: Thanks again a lot for all of your work, I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated by everyone here! ???

 

 

General

We start with some general numbers. As you all know from the guidelines for the event, participants earned points by completing games, crossing games off the bountly list, and finishing an entire tier. We know that we reached our donation limit of 1'500€, and even exceeded it by quite a bit... But, how many games did we all complete together?

 

Together, we completed a whopping 805 games! That's right... 805 games were S-ranked for this event! Of course there have been repetitions. Removing duplicates, we have S-ranked 465 different games. That is a lot of games with UR trophies ? Especially since I merged games with duplicate trophy lists (different regions / platforms). 

 

Now, what I was further interested in, is which games were S-ranked the most. And also here, I was very positively surprised! You guys did NOT take the easy way out, let me tell you that! 

 

 

Top-10 most completed games

 

 - Super Meat Boy (9)

 

 - Fall Guys (9)

 

 - Downwell (9)

 

 - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (8)

 

 - WipEout: Omega Collection (7)

 

 - Sniper Elite 3 (7)

 

 - Nova-111 (7)

 

 - Max Payne 3 (7)

 

 - Splasher (6)

 

 Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (6)

 

 

That's right. Some infamous games on that list, showing that they can definitely be bested! 

 

 

Individual

Before we get into the individual participants that made it into the top-3, I would like to take another short moment to thank each and everyone of you. I am extremely happy to read that you guys enjoyed participating in this event, and at the same time I think it is mostly due to how helpful, friendly and encouraging you have been towards everyone. 

 

And without further ado... Here we go! 

 

Most Bounties Claimed: 

 

Third place: -

 

Second place: @Vergil / @Cerlayjux / @VirtualNight / @Don_carlito94 with 3 bounties each! 

 

First place: @ExistentialSolid with an astonishing 7 bounties claimed! ? 

 

 

Most Games Completed: 

 

Third place: @ExistentialSolid with 31 games completed.

 

Second place: @AuburnDRM a very close call, we have 32 games completed! 

 

First place: @zajac9999... Ok I didn't miscount... 43 games completed! What a number! ?

Third place: @AuburnDRM has raised 65€ for the two charities. 

 

Second place: @Danny_Johansen takes it up a notch with 93€ raised! 

 

First place: @ExistentialSolid cannot be stoped, and takes the first spot with 165€ raised! 

 

 

Let us all put our hands together for those fantastic players that truly achieved some incredible feats during the duration of this event ?? Well done, guys... Very well done! 

 

 

Let me thank my co-hosts @Copanele and @Mori once again, as well as all of you for participating and keeping this event fun and engaging for the entirety of its duration! 

 

And thanks again @Man of Inaction for the awesome badges that will be posted soon!

[Copanele]

Many thanks for the badges @Man of Inaction !!! They're painfully accurate, representing hours of grueling grinding and challenges just for a measly bronze ?

[VirtualNight]

I wish some of the trophies would take me just 72 hours... ?

lol. There's a reason I don't have a ton of Ultra Rares.
