Also I’m gonna still play next, The Liar Princess and Blind prince cause aesthetically it fits. And I think I’ll also add Witch and the Hundred Knight since I think that also works with the theme.

2. Battle Princess Arcadia - 100%
3. Witch and the Hundred Knight - 0%

4. Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland - 0%

I also have resident evil 7+8 I wanna play but I wanna see how well I get through this list before I fully commit. Since a good chunk of these are short (non rpg) games I feel confident I can get them done.

Update #3

Holy crap is your account stacked.  Love the 100% too.  My only question... Is how have you not given the OG God of War a go?  Then you can have every installment of the series.  I can understand not doing stacks, but you're only about 15 hours away form completing the series! lol.  I know, I'm a god of war fan, and I'm a bit biased, but I think it would be a solid addition.

Thank you! and I guess I’m confused cause I played the original God of War on ps3 back in 2014 it should be on my list under God of War 2. Does it not show up?

Update 6

 

Another slow week for me, but the rest is helping my hand so I'll keep at it a bit longer. And with October just around the corner I'll soon be boarding the Sevastopol ?

 

Gaming wise, I booted up Spyro 3 and made a start on this. I noticed last year when I was playing Ripto's Rage that I platted Spyro 1 on Oct 31st 2019, then Spyro 2 on Oct 31st 2020. So I thought it would be fun to keep with tradition and plat the 3rd game on Oct 31st ?

 

Other than that, I've also been playing Ghost of Tsushima legends multiplayer with hubby @TheLordJusticar, generally levelling up my character and getting better gear. I'm almost rank 20 with the Samurai, and just got good enough gear to start gold level missions. Hopefully soon will be good enough to take part in the raid. No new trophies here though.

 

Trophy progress:

Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon - 0 -> 26%

September Update:

 

Its been a month of progress and for the most part it has been a great time.  I've managed to only grow my backlog by four games(Kena, Control(free via youtube), Demon's Souls, and Fifa 15(Vita)), while managing to complete 5 titles.  So it was an overall positive in the reduction of my backlog.  It started out a little rough with Maneater becoming bugged, but as of last night, I think I've fixed it and am earning trophies(took a complete reset of my progress, deleted my save from console and the cloud).  

 

September Completions:

Swaps: 3/5

inFamous Second Son

Kena

Minecraft

 

No additions, though I may seek clarification on if Kena should be an addition as I purchased it day 1 instead of a pre-order.  The only question I really have is what major title I should play next.  Do I go Horizon: Zero Dawn, start my Uncharted Series, or do I go Spiderman Remastered?  Good thing is I have Maneater and Ratchet & Clank 2 to work that out.  I'll be starting Sly 2 on Vita while at work.  Almost started Fifa, but wanted to make sure I get these Sly games done.  I had a blast with the first one.

 

Hope everyone is having fun with the backlog.  Don't play games you don't want to play.  Gaming is supposed to be fun!  Until the next update, happy trophy hunting.

Update #3

 

1. Agents of Mayhem (PS4) 0% > 95%
2. Beholder 2 (PS4) 11% > 100%
3. Darksiders III (PS4) 0%
4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (PS3) 0% > 100%

7. Pyre (PS4) 0%
8. Legend of Kay: Anniversary (PS3) 0%
9. Resident Evil 4 (PS4) 0%
10. Oxenfree (PS4) 0%

Games Completed - 2/10

 

I thought I might as well give a small update - I'm pretty much at the limbo point with Agents of Mayhem now, so I think later on I'll make a start on Hue.

 

I'm hoping by the time I have Hue finished I might also have Agents of Mayhem finished too. Then I think it's about time I start Bastion and have a hopefully enjoyable time playing that.  I hope anyway, because I have gotten so sick of Agents of Mayhem at this point, all I have left is the connected contracts and the shards, which I'm hopefully going to collect later, but wow - my initial excitement about this game, just bottomed out faster than I think almost any game ever has done for me before, it just feels like repetition the video game.

 

This event has been really helpful - because I think, had I not joined I genuinely might have just abandoned Agents of Mayhem and not even bothered to finish it at all. So I'm real grateful for that.

 

It is most definitely an unworthy successor to Saints Row that's for sure.

 

@dieselmanchild - sorry I didn't reply in the thread at the time, but pages and pages have gone by at this point, but I just wanted to say what a fantastic write up that was of Lords of the Fallen that you linked. I'm definitely going to add that to the list if/when I manage to tackle these first ten games.

 

Also, I'm sorry to bother you @MidnightDragon, I just wanted to ask what the policy is for adding games that have joined our backlog whilst the events been going on -  so, say a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 came into my possession, would I be allowed add it to the list of games to be completed? Or is that not quite seen as being in the spirit of the event? I just wanted to double check before I did anything like that. Can we also add games to the list, if and when we want, or is it a case of, finish those first, then add the next batch?

You can add up to 45 games + 15 games if you manage to finish all 45 games that makes 60 games. Don't worry about your post got overwritten by another member just make sure you check her/him post and give him rep points as token of appreciation. I don't think @MidnightDragon have whole time to replied your post just chat her she will answer any questions. 

 

@Crispy_Oglop is the manager here you should ask him while @MidnightDragon isn't around

It divides opinion, but Alien Isolation is one of my all time favourites. They captured the aesthetic and themes of the film perfectly. It’s the absolute definition of tense. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Hi!

A minor update to finish up this weeks gaming. 

 

LEGO Marvel's Avengers (Vita)

This game was more fun for me than most Vita LEGO titles. Still, no one holds a candle to LEGO Hobbit which I claim to be the best! I had some grievanses with the Hub that is Manhattan. No tracking Red Brick for most of the collectibles along with wonky flying controls brought my experience down a peg. Went from 0% to 100% over the course of three nightshifts at the factory, slow nights at work are a rare blessing! Don't tell my boss..

 

Looking forward to friday night when we will be drinking beer and playing Overcooked!

1st Update:

 

It was a rush to finish Judgment before it left PSNow, it was fun but as always there where some details I hated on the road to a 100%, the bloody RGN in puyo puyo... they could just made each rival show up at least once before starting to repeat themselves on the waves but nooooo, I actually like puyo puyo in general but damn I don't wanna see those blobs in a long while, the second playthrough was ok, the tailing sections are even more boring the second time around and I wasn't a fan of the girlfriends either. I took breaks after finishing the game the first time between progressing on Premium Adventure to clear the app and finishing chapters in legend when I got bored or tired of a particular thing I switch to the other save and work on something else for a while.

 

Despite the time crunch I did enjoy the game a lot, the side missions were super weird and funny as expected with so ok ones. The Amon fight was alright I think, but i was almost the last thing had all skill and I spammed extracts and items throughout, also lot of item use through my whole Legend playthrough. I was also happy that this game didn't have any additional challenges/scenarios.

 

Now is time to do Nier because that one is also on the clock.

 

1. (PS4) Judgment 0% - 100%  September 28th

2. (PS3) God of War 11% -

3. (PS4) Nier Automata 0% -

4. (PS4) Infamous Second Son 2%  -

5. (PS4) Murdered: Soul Suspect 43% - 

6. (PS4) Control 0% 

7. (PS4) Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor 4%

8. (PS3) God of War II 0%

Update #3: In the couple of weeks since my last update, I’ve completed Astro’s Playroom and Far Cry 3: Classic Edition. I’m sure most know how brilliant both are respectively, and I’d prefer not to go on about them ad nauseum. I will say, as someone who doesn’t use the DuelSense’s adaptive triggers due to sensitivity reasons, Astro’s Playroom is worth experiencing as intended. Next up: Blood Dragon (another classic I’ve somehow skipped).

Green = Some progress
Blue = Completed 100%

 

1. Assassins Creed Origins - 31%

After falling off the face of the earth for almost the entire month, I decided to start with Cat Quest II. I didn't play a ton because I have to get up earlier tomorrow. However, I enjoyed the first Cat Quest and so far, so good.  Got to level 16 and did a little bit of the story and some side stuff. Currently making the cat a warrior and the dog a wizard.

UPDATE 1.0.: Hey guys, how’s it going? First update in a while! Yeah, I’ve been really busy since I changed work, and now I have less time to play, sadly and for my contempt anyway. However, I’ve been thinking a lot how I should take this challenge, but there’s no other option that to play slowly and see how this going to be later on. I picked games that despite can’t be better suited for my current schedule, I can play them in a bit for the sake to complete them, but in all truth since right now, I am not convinced that the list can be finished in the 6 months’ time frame though, LOL. Despite that, I’ll place my experiences so far and be gladly to share them with you, as I believe that sharing our thoughts for the whole event is the core purpose for it. There will be few changes, and I’ll add up that in the following. So, here we go!

 

1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ~ 0% → Attack of the toy Tanks ~ 100%
2. Warface ~ 55%
3. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 ~ 24%
4. Dragon Ball Xenoverse ~ 0%
5. GT Sport ~ 0%
6. Splitgate ~ 0% 
7. Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition ~ 0%
8. Hollow Knight ~ 0%
9. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ~ 98% → Castlevania: Lords of Shadow ~ 0%
   [Rule #2: Swap because games no more than 50% completed are allowed]
   
   Swaps 2/5 used. 

Oh, man. I can’t stress out how Warface has been as an experience. While there could be details that could derail many from even trying it, for me, those are completely irrelevant. The game feels outdated? Yes. Does it have bad graphics? Of course. Free to play game with battle royale included? Checked. Fun as hell? Absolutely! Seriously, this game has brought me a lot of fun, entertainment and enjoyment that I haven’t felt since years, really years ago. The game has two modes, and as stated on trophy guide it is recommended to do the PvP before level 25. In my case, that felt like a huge turn off, at least the beginning because you can level up really fast on the first levels, and can derail you from the experience at first glance. But once you get used to controls and mechanics, the thing becomes insanely addicting. That’s not to say that the game is easy or so, but the modes for Storm, Deathmatch and Domination has been my favorites so far! Also, despite the apparent, crazy requirements for those trophies aren’t that dreadful, actually. Far beyond that. I find that looking to be the MVP on each map was simply a matter of patience and because I’ve been enjoying it, it hasn’t been that difficult to be on top 3 on every match. In contrast, I find COD multiplayer far way unfair and pale in comparison with this obscure and underrated game. I cannot tell what makes it different—and I dare to say, addicting, from other FPS, but also can’t say is the best option for those puritans about these kinds of games. It doesn’t feature the best graphics, as honestly feels like playing on a PS3 at its peak, but I summon the words of Shigeru Miyamoto in those regards: “(I) actually think that as you play this game and look at the world around you, it's going to seem very realistic despite the graphics style”, while talking about TLoZ: Wind Waker, way back on early 2000s. And indeed, this game became really hooking despite its obvious flaws. What surprises me more, is that it is somehow popular here in Latin America, as I’ve seen many players around; also, I knew the game was so lifted by Eastern Europeans, specially Russians and Ukrainians. I mean, that’s astonishing! So, I can say that I officially finished the PvP mode and can move to PvE hunt without fear. I’m hyped to see what’s next now. But as a side note, there’s this single trophy that’s driving me nuts: kill 3 enemies (players or AI) with a single grenade.  That’s what I fear to get the whole 100% at the moment, LOL.

 

Following this, I’ve been slowly playing LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, and honestly, it exceeds my expectations. There’s a huge feeling of overhaul since the first entry in this type of games. The first title felt way outdated (and well, it is because it was released on the previous gen and when you go back for you get the tech slap in the face), but this is different. The environments look fantastic, and the gameplay despite has the same mechanics feels polished in subtle ways that makes the experience enjoyable and memorable. In this regard, I’ve almost finished like ~70% of the story, but the core value in this game's comes from the incredible amount of side quests you need to do and attain the 100%, which is indeed required for the Platinum. Thankfully I have the full version of the game with all the DLC, and once I finish the core part and few secondary missions I’ll tackle those as often do with any game. As far, I haven’t had any issues, despite people claim that some crashes can happen while playing or glitches around certain levels and so. I think the developers made a great work here, and I’m having a nice time while doing it. So lovely and wholesome in many levels!

 

For Attack of the Toy Tanks, I just can add that I wanted to play this one since long ago. Yeah, I know, is a "shame Platinum", but I wanted a small boost in this whole thing. It helped me to some degree, and despite its a Ratalaika's title, the game is no joke. The control scheme is confuse, and the IA is really unforgiving, as the aim bot they use kills you instantly. You should have a good precision and pray that your bullets hits the enemies. But surprises me that the percentage that the game is less than a 90%. A funny, quick game that can give you a good time for the sake of it, and trophy wise recommended, giving yourself a relief after a succession of hard and grindy games by a while. Aside from that, in itself the game isn't bad, but requires a little practice for the mechanics and get used to what you can expect, as you need to restart over and over to move on. Don't let it deceive you by the pure source of this. 

 

Alright guys, this is what have happened in the last weeks, and sorry for not sharing before. Work has drowned me and couldn’t play as before. However, I think progress, whatever it is, feels great. Following October and due to the spooky season, I think the best option is to pick one game that fits this while playing another online game. Not sure which one yet, but definitely going to be one that you’ll be glad to see in the list. Thanks for reading, keep motivating everyone else and see you soon!

Crossed off some more of the grindy trophies in FFXII and got through the story up to where I need to now make my way to Arcadia before taking a week off to play some Diablo 2 on the PC.  Decided to sit down a cross off the Another World trophies off the to do list though.  I remember this game being so hard back when I was under 10 and never finishing it my self.  While certain parts are annoying, it wasn't very hard.

Here again with my monthly update, giving my overall experience with the games on my list done at this time. A quick note though; I have been a part of these challenge events for a year now; going into this I had no idea I'd be continuing on with being a part of this until I found it actually challenging to commit to certain games in the long run; it definitely changed how I thought in the long term in regards to the games I would play. Anyways, on to the games. 

 

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles: When I saw Phoenix Wright available to play on PSN I immediately switched to it and platted it. So when I saw that another game made with the similar playstyle was coming out, I jumped on it as well.  I was obviously expecting a different cast of characters and a different setting, but the storyline was not only very compelling but also interlocked with each case integrated with each other and having the twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. I tried my best not to use a walkthrough for the game, although I did look at the trophies, as they were visible in the game and had a guide on hand if I was truly stumped. Haven't gotten the plat on it as I'm close to my 300th plat is coming up very soon. 

 

Lego Batman 2: Realized at some point that I hadn't played the Vita version yet of this game, and needing something significant to play on it, I decided to pick this game up.  Haven't done much beyond the storyline, since I have at least three weeks where I will be away from my home (and hence my consoles), for a part of the challenge event, so plan to pick this up again when I am traveling. 

 

The Procession to Calvary: As soon as I saw this game I was sold. I am a huge fan of Monty Python and this game screamed of their style of storytelling and quirkiness. It also reminiscent of King's Quest, with it's way of finding items to trade or use, sometimes in unusual ways. I enjoyed the way they used classical pictures and made them move, how the fourth wall was broken and how simple it was how to miss things. Not a long game overall, especially if you go the murder hobo route (and that people you interact with change their perception of your character). I especially loved that the treasure map was actually to show where to press on a certain picture. 

 

Spiderman (PS4): Just finished this game today.  I knew going into this that I would have an easier time getting into it as I've now played it and Miles Morales a few times, with plans to play the PS4 version some time in the future. Because of that, I played a good portion of the game where I finished off trophies earlier than usual and focused on setting up other trophies. And I could tell the difference in the loading times, as I never saw any of the subway loading screens before.  Still found the forced stealth missions painful, although MJs' weren't really that bad, especially since she got useful items to use. I look forward to the next Spiderman game they are making and might preorder it when it's formally announced. 

 

Diablo II Remastered: I kinda regret picking this up. Mainly because I didn't know what I had to do. But I also know that if I hadn't, I would be too curious about it that I'd be probably picking it up anyway. Right now I'm trying to play a Necromancer on Hardcore Mode, mostly to try to get it out of the way and just got past Act 1. My other Necromancer, not on hardcore, is now on Act 3 but I had to change my build to get passed a boss and found I couldn't respec back again (had a high level blood golem and could call on two bone mages but wasn't even close to enough to kill it). Haven't done much otherwise in it and it's going to be a game I'll be working on for a long time, hopefully I'll plat it, but with needing to finish the game with each character on Hell mode, once on Nightmare mode and once on Hardcore mode, it'll take some time. 

 

Link-a-Pix (PS4 and Vita) Still working on these games on the side, although more on the PS4 version more than anything. I pretty much playing it first to locate the pictures needed for the trophies, which I've used as a reference for the Vita version. And I've also been playing this as a change of pace, mostly near the end of the day before heading to bed. While I won't finish every picture, since it isn't required, but I do enjoy playing it to relax occasionally. 

 

Epic Word Search Collection 2: I played this only because I had to play for some trophies on a Saturday after playing Diablo II all day and hadn't gotten any trophies that day. I just did the silver trophies since they were quick to do; I don't plan to pick this up again until the other backup games are done. 

 

That's everything for now. Here's to another year of doing these challenges.
