Update 1.5 - List addition!

 

Decided to add Ghost of Tsushima to my list. I started it a few weeks ago, working on the multiplayer trophies, figured I may as well add it officially to my challenge pile

 

 

I loved Ghost of Tsushima, but it wasn't everyone's cup of tea  Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. I haven't tried the new DLC island content yet so if you make a dent in that, let me know what you think.

What up, what up??

 

Figured I'd kick it off this time around getting briefly reacquainted with everything (except San Andreas, which quite literally needs no introduction for me), now it's just a matter of narrowing down which ones I wanna focus on first.

 

Res 5 - Just did some EZPZs to get back into the vibe. Forgot that this is very much not my favorite Resident Evil game?

 

Yakuza 0 - Wow! Can't believe I been sleepin on this one for so long. A lot of fun, and right away I realized how lazy the GTA comparisons are.

 

Hitman - Forgot that I'm shit at these games! I love em though. Gonna have to work through those scum saving issues...

 

FFIX - Fuck. Can't even get more than 12 jump ropes in.. that 1,000 is gonna kill my ass. Oh well. Revisit first, trophy masochism later!

 

Cities: Skylines - Ah, the Sim City love from my youth has been resurrected! I thought my wife would like me playing something with less violence, but then I hear her say "you're bulldozing the trees!!" Yeah, my hopes of converting her into a gamer are utterly dead in the water?

 

Tony Hawk 1+2 - For all the dads out there! Essentially got the fuck-around trophies and feel I'm more comfortable with the controls again.

 

Also this is part of why I want to narrow my games down from here on out - I don't wanna bore people to tears with an analysis of every game every update! Plus I'll be adding shorter games pretty regularly, need to be sure I hit my monthly plat quota! This update I think I'll add Afterparty. Oxenfree was a blast and this one looks dope too?

 

1. Resident Evil 5 (19-->24%)

2. Yakuza 0 (1-->11%)

3. Hitman (35-->39%)

4. Final Fantasy IX (0-->2%)

5. Cities: Skylines (1-->7%)

6. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 (1-->24%)

7. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (0%)

8. Afterparty (0%)

Self boosting i think that's why you can't get rep points from same person over and over (sorry aphex twin i still can't give you rep points ?)

Let us know how you like it. I have Beseria and Vesperia but I'm looking to add Arise since it looks very fun. 

[RDT1]

No progress again for me today, work getting in the way!

 

One plus side though that since the start of the challenge I've cleared 23 other games off the 100% backlog list

[Hisuiryu]

Just a quick one to make a swap - itching to play something PS5-y but not sure I'm still interested in Maneater... and with the Alan Wake remaster announced seems like a good time to give Control a go!

• Maneater (PS5) - 0% → Control (PS5) - 0%

Swaps used: 1/5

Good choice, fuck maneater.

Update 2 - 

 

Midweek update from me, I made a little more trophy progress in Judgment. But my main progress existed in the in-game challenge system (it's basically a big list of things you need to do listed in an app on your in-game phone) which you need to get 100% completion in for a trophy. I took care of a big chunk of the Club Sega challenges - which were basically winning X amount of prizes in a claw machine, as well as all of the requirements the Kamurocho of the Dead arcade game (pretty much a riff off the House of the Dead light gun game) like getting 777 zombie headshots, killing X amount of zombies and clearing all stages etc. If you've never played a Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios game, this is pretty much a standard feature in all their games - there is usually a massive completion list which, by the end of it, you can pretty safely say you've squeezed every tiny drop out of the game.

 

One thing that was a bit of a shock for me in comparison to the Yakuza games was Mahjong - there are so many challenges for it this time around including an individual batch for all three Mahjong parlours as well as a bunch of meta-challenges around playing it. It looks like the same for Shogi too, which unlike Mahjong is an utter mystery to me. This is probably going to take a while! Good thing we have a much longer challenge period  

 

Don't get me wrong though, i'm loving every minute of this game. One of my favourite things about the completion lists in these games is that you can work on them while catching up on shows and listening to podcasts etc. I'm currently working my way through a movie trilogy called 'Fear Street' on Netflix which i'm really enjoying.

 

1. Monster Hunter: World - 47%
2. Monster Hunter: Iceborne - 1%
3. Hades - 0%
4. Judgment - 14% > 17%
5. Lost Judgment - 0%
6. Psychonauts - 0%
7. Pyschonauts 2 - 0%
8. Monster Harvest - 0%
9. Kena Bridge of Spirits - 0%
10. Tales of Arise - 0%
11. Far Cry 6 - 0%
12. Guardians of the Galaxy - 0%
13. Fatal Frame: Maiden of Blackwater - 0%
14. Dying Light 2 - 0%

Good luck with FFIX. Between the jump rope and the Bloodlust trophy you're in for a long grind lol ?

The jump rope trophy on the PS4 version I'm sure is highly affected by input lag. I spent about a year practicing for it, and the best I could manage was 294 jumps before I mentally caved and resorted to the remote play script.

It's affected by input lag on every version to some degree, but something that also doesn't help is that it changes the speed as you get more successful jumps.  A lot of PC players also resorted to the script that remote play uses.  I fully admit to caving and using the script as well on the PC version and that trophy is exactly why I'm not buying it on PSN.  Don't want to deal with the hassle.

That double step rhythm between 200-300 is so hard. I miscalculated my jump total when I got to 294, but I think if I'd got past 300 I could have done it. I never watched the screen when I was doing it, just headphones on, no game music and just going solely based off the sound (also pacing around my living room as I was doing it because it helped me keep the timing ?). But I only ever reached that pb once, after that I kept failing at around 220-230, and that's when I did the script.
