Hey all! I told you I'd be back to bother you some more?

 

Given the generous amount of time we're being given, I'm putting my oh-so-illustrious 1-0 record against backlog challenges against some frighteningly heavy hitters that I seriously need to take care of, however intimidated and unsure of myself I am.

 

1. Resident Evil 5 (19%)

2. Yakuza 0 (1%)

3. Hitman (35%)

4. Final Fantasy IX (0%)

5. Cities: Skylines (1%)

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

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

 

Most games I'm trying to finish don't qualify percentage-wise, so if I want to stick to games already on my profile the pickings are pretty slim. I added San Andreas cuz I liked the idea of having one more familiar franchise.

 

Real talk, five of those games have me absolutely terrified, and I love it. Let's goooooo!!

Added. 

[ladynadiad]

Sure, I'll join this one.  Always love the longer one better than the shorter ones anyhow since it gives plenty of time to take care of meatier games.  Here's my tentative list:

 

1. Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny - 14%

2. Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom - 12%

3. Resonance of Fate - 10%

4. Drakengard 3 - 0%

5. Dragon Quest XI - 0%

When you first play, start as Jude instead of Milla, story flows much better that way, or at least makes more sense. That was a tip I thankfully got before I played as well. 

Enjoy it! It's in my top 3 Tales games!

Good looking out.  I actually lucked out and ran through the first few hours for a Kill Your Completion here last month and happened to pick Jude so I'm glad to hear that was the better choice.

[KazaneHime]

Glad to see people playing Tales of Xillia and Tales games in general! Also good you already went for Jude, I'd second Dav's advice on it.

I'm only able to get shift 1 online trophy (not yet because the games still on delivery Courier) Undercover and shift 2 probably im not gonna make it because took to much time before 31st Augustus

 

If you have enough time i need your help on shift 1 online trophy dlc ?

Oh that's too bad

I believe if you start Shift 2 when it comes in, you should be able to do it. Most of the online is fairly quick and you can AFK the 10hrs online trophy with one other person. 

You will need a group of 8 people or a lot of ALT-accounts between 2/3 people to be able to get the trophy for earning your first Crown. That trophy took us 3,5hrs alone to get done, but everything else was really easy and took somewhere between 10-15 minutes. 

Shift 1 there is technically only one online trophy, and I can help you out with that, just send me a FR on PSN?

My ID is the same as on here. 

 

For Undercover I suggest you find 3 people that still need the online races done, because you can also AFK those with 4 people just sitting in a lobby. Takes a while but should be doable in 2/3 sessions.

I'll try but for undercover it's kinda hard because broken server and my connection is 30mbps it's hard coz even we both have good connection it still give us some trouble lagging DC sometimes

Right, so after scouring the release calendars now that more dates for games are set in stone - I'm 99.9% sure I have the list of games i'll be playing for the duration of this longer event. I trimmed alot of the older indie stuff and focused mainly on newer releases for the rest of the year. We have quite a few months for this one, so my list intentionally contains some games which are pretty hefty.

 

I have a few medium/short titles in there and a few unknown quantities based on them not being released yet. But the biggest time vampire looks like it'll be Monster Hunter: World + the Iceborne expansion.

 

I think that unless a release date for something ground-shattering is stealth dropped now, my list won't change again before the event starts and we lock ourselves into our choices to a large extent. The only thing i'm conscious of is some of the unreleased titles, we've seen quite a few release date push backs and changes in the last few months. But if the worst comes to the worst I can always substitute them later.

1. Monster Hunter: World - 47%
2. Monster Hunter: Iceborne - 1%
3. Hades - 0%
4. Judgment - 0%
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%

I also set up a list of benched games which I'll dip into if i'm making good progress, I finish the list ahead of time or release dates change for some of the unreleased stuff in there.

I'd like to join as well. First time trying something like this, so my list will not be to big. Might add games during the challenge, but not before finishing most of the main games. I won't play any of the below games until the challenge starts, so percentages are set in stone.

 

Games List (6/11):

☑️ - Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves - 100% (PS3)

☑️ - It Takes Two - 100% (PS4)

☑️ - Spyro the Dragon - 100% (PS4)

☑️ - Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! - 100% (PS4)

Reason: I wanted to finish Saints Row IV before the challenge started but didn't. Skyrim longer then I wanted. I want to finish Saints Row IV before The Third because I already started it. I've played both on PC already, I know I play them out of order ?.
