Darling Baphomet Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 One thing I will say is that if the intent of this contest is to track "the players with the rarest completed games", the scoring system doesn't do a great job of it; due to the scaling system there's almost no difference between a relatively easy, but low completion on PSN game, e.g. The Outer Wilds, which can be finished in just 20 hours, and a 100+ hour platinum like Trackmania Turbo. The optimal strategy seems to be to spam games which are just rare enough to qualify without actually taking much time or effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's at least the addition of 200p for any UR platinum on the completed list. That said, it's not a huge increase, but it's a little something to reward going for more rare games.

In the future there will probably be more things that will difference the rarest completed games. Looking into rang of different factors, but want to verify and test them out before adding them. So anticipate more adjustments/tweaks in the future, as we fine tune the leaderboard.? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
