[Rebourne07]

Congratulations to @Koro249 on Bronze tier, and @LancashireLad87 on Bronze tier for list #2!

 

Congratulations to @Wurstmann69 on Gold tier for list #2! I suspect you'll be updating to platinum here in a few days since all you're missing is a 1/10 lol

Can I join the competition now and use games I’ve already platinum’d this year?

Yes, you can. Any platinum earned in 2022 counts. Just look through games you've platinumed this year and find links to their platinum ratings and see how many unique ratings out of the ten you have and post them here then work on the remaining ones the rest of the year

I will start Wild Arms today. I just have to do it after gym, lunch and then washing up . I'm also playing LEGO Jurassic World on Vita in the meantime, so it might be slower.

@bethharmon Congratulations on Bronze tier!

 

@Trophy-sx You can still join this year if you want. Any platinum earned in 2022 counts so put together a list of games you've completed this year and map out games for whichever ratings you are missing. 

 

@RicosTrophyHunt Most souls games are 7 if you wanna do one of those. Returnal is a great 9. I've heard The Witness can be cheesed as a 9 if you wanna go that route.

1/10: Donut County
2/10: Ape Escape
3/10: Wild Arms
4/10: SaGa Frontier Remastered
5/10: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
6/10: Dragon Quest Heroes II
7/10: Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

 

So finally just platinumed my difficulty 3 trophy, although I feel a bit dirty saying it's 3/10 consider how I used a duplication glitch to max my stats.

 

While I am watching the credits(as I feel rotten if I didn't watch the credits for Wild Arms despite the platinum popping just after the final battle), I want to say this game still retains its charm after who knows how long I played it on the original PS1. Needless to say, I did not do the superbosses on the original as I didn't know about the dupe glitch and I had enough struggles with dying a lot. I highly recommend this game as a RPG you should play. Next up on my list is SaGa Frontier Remastered... after my next two games.

 

EDIT: I didn't expect to get through the game so fast. I guess that is what the power of item duplication does to you.

I Am Bread completed! Cheese Hunt A++ ranks was absolutely miserable, the worst thing I've ever done for a trophy. So many things out of your control can end your run, I could go on for paragraphs about how unfun it is. Cheese Hunt Garden is easily the hardest, the A++ took me 8-9 hours of playtime. 

 

Personally I think 9/10 difficulty is accurate, but I understand why you'd call it 10/10. Either way, I highly recommend doing a different game instead, purely because of how bad Cheese Hunt is.

 

1/10 - Burly Men At Sea

2/10 - Arcade Game Series: Pac-Man

3/10 - Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare

4/10 - Control

5/10 - BioShock 2 Remastered

6/10 -

7/10 - Terraria (PlatPrices)

8/10 - Deep Rock Galactic

9/10 - I Am Bread

10/10 - Super Meat Boy

 

Only 6/10 to go, which I'll probably do BioShock Infinite.

Hmm I thought Returnal was a higher rating but the trophy guide has it on here as 5/10 ? PlatPrices has it down as a 9/10 so it's very varied!!

I think I'm going to change it up and go with Kena: Bridge of Spirits as my 7/10, Unturned as my 8/10 and Returnal as my 9/10

Congratulations on Gold tier! For Fall Guys I wouldn't bank on them fixing the auto pop issue. I personally doubt they care, though I hope they're wrong cause I'd love to use that game next year lol Might wanna look into another 10 just in case.

I need to update this. I've finished a few games from my list but am stuck at Nuclear Throne. This game is unbelievably difficult and I will not get it done by the end of the year

Dang, it's so bad that in September you can say you won't finish it by the end of the year? Sounds awful lol Yeah I'd say pick a different game.

It's probably going to take me a year alone at this rate dude, but I'm in too deep now. Maybe I can do another game at the same time... I have to even look back and see what my list was

[sleeksparkle]

1/10 Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition (PlatPrices)

2/10 New Gundam Breaker (PST)

3/10 Dragon Quest Builders (PST)

4/10 Super Time Force Ultra (PSNP)

5/10 Final Fantasy XIII (PSNP)

6/10 Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON (PSNP)

7/10 Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (PST)

8/10 Titan Souls (PST)

9/10 Nuclear Throne (PST)

10/10 Wuppo (PlatPrices)

 

Well, this is embarrassing. Honestly I moved away from this challenge in favor of some other projects I wanted to complete but since Wuppo in March I did Killzone Mercenary (before the server shutdown was announced lol b/c I'm a hipster), The FFXIII trilogy, and Super Time Force Ultra. Funnily enough I can sub out my previous 4 and 5 choices (Transistor and FFXII respectively) to "make progress" here.

 

I've been working on Nuclear Throne the last few weeks but I must admit that the game ought to have been started back in January to give me a chance of platting it by year's end because the game is a fucking spankfest and the primary cheeks being punished are mine own. I've never played a harder game ever, not by a long shot and I will likely never play a game harder than NT again if I even ever finish it. But there's 5 off the top of the challenge anyway; I doubt I'll finish any more of these by the end of the year but it was a fun challenge and I hope to do better next year.

Edit: I just noticed you are very close to platinuming Koihime. Also, you already platinum'd the Japanese version so if you wanna count that you can as well lol Looks like you have a lot of options ?

I have yet to earn a platinum in 2022, but why not join an extremely difficult challenge with only 3 months left in the year?

 

In all seriousness, I do not expect to finish this challenge, but I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring with some plats I hope to get this year.

 

1/10:

2/10: Until Dawn (PSNProfiles)

3/10: Multiversus (PSNProfiles)

4/10: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered (PST)

5/10: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Remastered (PSNProfiles)

6/10: Rayman Legends (PlatPrices)

7/10:

8/10:

9/10: Tetris Effect (PSNProfiles)

10/10: Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout GLITCHLESS (PSNProfiles)

 

Any suggestions for 1,7, and 8 are welcomed. For my 1/10, I want something that I am at least interested in playing and that is respectable. Thank you!

Welcome! You got this bro you can finish. Though you might wanna look more into Tetris Effect. I've had several people get burned by that one this year. For 1 I recommend Donut County, for 7 I recommend almost any Souls game. For 8 you can do Elden Ring or Gran Turismo 7. Check the main post leaderboards for more suggestions on 7-10 games
