Changed my mind on 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9

[N1ghTmaN227]

Crazy, I literally just heard about you on Gameranx and that you had all the trophies for all the Final Fantasy games.
Sounds awesome! I want to attempt this. Not sure how well I'll do tho, but I think this'll help me get my completion up as well. I'm going to try and go for at least bronze tier! 
All of the difficulties are taken from PSNProfiles.

1. I honestly have no idea. Assuming Tales From The Borderlands is a 1/10 difficulty, I could maybe play that? Or the new Life is Strange game if I base the difficulty off some other website, like platprices.

2. No Man's Sky

3. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens

4. Injustice 2 or The Last of Us Remastered depending on which I want to go for first.

5. Star Wars: Battlefront II

6. Just Cause 3

7. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

8. Outlast 2 or Black Ops 3 depending on which I want to go for first.

9. XCOM 2

10. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout

[Han_the_Dragon]

Ok, since I have a little of time, let's do a tentative list for now..

 

1. Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart (or something else from Artifex Mundi..)
2. Tales of Arise PS5
3. Ghost of Tsushima PS4 | Dragon Quest XI
4. Rise of the Tomb Raider | Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness
5. Final Fantasy VII Remake PS5
6. Kingdom Hearts II PS3 | Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories PS3
7. Dirt 3 | Modnation Racers | Split/Seccond
8. Wipeout Omega | Boodborne
9. Gran Turismo Sport
10. Street Fighter V

Ya, I wasn't really joking about having to put those annoying games from the start... On top of that IF I manage to get Golden League on SF5, I will want it to be my 300th plat, and that's still quite far away..

 

I dropped a few games because no difficulty rate available on PSNProfiles or because they were #2 difficulty, and Arise will be 100% my first PS5 plat, so, no point in putting more games on that number..

[D-E-U-S-X]

Well, I'm not sure yet if I can do it this way, but here is my list. All based on PlatPrices difficulties.

As a special feature, every platinum is ultra rare!

 

1. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition

2. Laser League

3. Friday the 13th

4. Cities: Skylines

5. 7 Days to Die

6. Tricky Towers

7. Superhot VR

8. Injustice: Gods Among Us

9. I AM BREAD

10. Super Meat Boy

Wow that's strange. Honestly this is not against you personal but I don't know how PlatPrices.com creates the difficulty they show. I was surprised to see a game with 1/10 difficulty being UR so i checked the links on PlatPrices and all two guides say 2/10 difficulty, community rating even ~ 4.5/10.

 

I have a discrepancy among my list too. EDF 4.1 gets 10/10 difficulty but the only rating it links is a community voting around 7/10. Am i missing an important point how PlatPrices calculates the difficulty? I'm honest it feels a bit cheap to say EDF is a 10/10 when i cannot find proof it is. I've played it and think the 7/10 is more appropriate but this is my only chance to get a 10/10 difficulty game if any

When I search "harvest moon" it is the first entry. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition to be exact

Yeah man, after all the searching I've done I've concluded that it can be really hard to figure how how ratings come out to what they are too sometimes. EDF is a perfect example. Not really sure how their algorithm works. However, to keep things simple, if a site has the rating, it works. Anyone can count EDF as their 10 since PlatPrices has it there

I know and this was no question but thx anyway. I just don't understand why does the game gets a 1/10 difficulty even though no guide it links to shows a difficulty below 2/10

So I have a question regarding if someone went to chose a game that has a well known exploit or an ability that changes the difficulty rating based on if you use that?

For example, Hades is considered 7/10 difficulty when playing legitimate, but when you unable a God mode that doesn't turn off trophies, the difficulty goes down and it's somewhere around 4/10. So my question is are these games allowed in this challenge and if we were to chose those games, how does one prove that they did it without any benefits or exploits, unless the rule is that the game is gonna be considered automatically from the lower difficulty with those benefits?

Since there's no way to prove or disprove that someone used glitches or exploits then anything goes. If someone wants to use in game cheats on Hades or Control, use the invincibility glitch on Hollow Knight, or got Infallible on Fall Guys back when it was glitchable...that's up to them. Hacking or other cheating that can be determined through timestamps will of course be removed and not count, but glitches and exploits that are, for better or worse, completely undetectable, will be counted. I'll put a note about this in the original post, thank you.

Thanks bro! Yep that's me  Good luck! I see lots of people going for Fall Guys, I wonder if you'll be competing against each other for Infallible at any point ? I hope not. Good luck!

[Cassylvania]

I'll join, BUT I'm too lazy to commit to a list right now. Since I'm usually doing like fourteen events at once, I'll just try to factor difficulty ratings into my selections for other events.

 

I have no clue what I'll do for 9/10 or 10/10.

[Briste]

Cool concept! I'm in but on the road at the moment,  will come up with a list and post it later. Thanks for hosting!

[gruffiiti]

Ill join but likely slot things in as I play them so it will take some time for my list to fill out. haha

[Copanele]

Ok, this is quite the fun event! I will join as well

 

1/10 - XBlaze Lost: Memories

2/10 - Spyro the Dragon

3/10 - Yakuza 6 Song of Life

4/10 - Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend

5/10 - Hitman Blood Money

6/10 - Guacamelee 2

7/10 - Victor Vran

8/10 - Mirror's Edge

9/10 - Hollow Knight

10/10 - Persona 4 Arena

 

This list will definitely be changed later on (especially the 1/10 and 2/10 entries)

[Briste]

Ok, I've gotten home and looked through my backlog/outstanding games and here is what I will plan to target in 2022:

 

1/10 - Energy Cycle
2/10 - Bugsnax
3/10 - inFamous Second Son
4/10 - Alien: Isolation
5/10 - Driveclub VR
6/10 - Dark Souls II
7/10 - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
8/10 - Dark Souls Remastered
9/10 - Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition
10/10 - Super Meat Boy

 

Energy Cycle was the only 1/10 game in my backlog so I guess that is the winner. Planning on playing through the Soulsbourne series this winter so those slide in nicely. Driveclub VR, Injustice and SMB are lingering incompletes on my profile that I will aim to finish in 2022. Call of Duty was one of the first two PS3 games I bought and is still in the shrink wrap....guess I'll bust that open for the event. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the lineup I have. Look forward to finishing!

I will take part in this for sure. I will update my post when I have a list of 10 games.

[Yuber6969]

Do we have to declare the games upfront, or can we post them as we complete them?

[Rebourne07]

Either way. You don't have to declare them beforehand. I'd recommend coming up with a list to give yourself a plan but whether you decide to post it here or not is up to you. You can change games any time too so posting a list doesn't lock you into anything. It's mostly to show you've thought the challenge through and also helps give others ideas for games.

What a coincidence, I was planning on doing a 1-10 platinum challenge once I hit 40 platinum trophies. Currently on 37 at the time of posting! Please note some games may be subject to change as nothing has been chiselled into stone, regardless here's my list.

8/10: Devil May Cry 1 HD

9/10: Dead Space 2

10/10: Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus

 

All ratings were taken from PSNProfiles. Not sure about some of the games on this list since I don't own most of them. I probably won't start this until Feb/March but I'll throw myself in for consideration ^^

 

 

 

 

 

[stuthesheep]

I fancy giving this a shot, it'll be nice to actually have a plan as to what games to tackle from the backlog next year for a change.

 

Preliminary list:

 

1. Life is Strange: True Colours

2. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

3. Assassin's Creed: Origins

4. Prey

5. Mass Effect: Andromeda

6. Rez Infinite

7. Yakuza Kiwami

8. Dragon Age: Inquisition

9. The Evil Within

10. Volgarr the Viking

 

All ratings from PSNProfiles except 1 and 10, both from PlatPrices.

 

List is assuming that LiS will be in a sale at some point in the next 12 months, not particularly keen to drop 50 notes on an 8 hour game.
