Attack on Completion 2022 ( And so It Begins)

[Yuna]

This may be out of the question, but is this something that can still be joined? And if so, is it something that a completionist like me could participate in? I went ahead and did some math to calculate my backlog %age in the same manner as PSNP and despite what you see on my trophy card, my stats are really a bit different. I took a screenshot and uploaded it for reference. https://ibb.co/N26t2ts
 

I went a little overboard with my spreadsheet, but it has proven fairly useful. I did also make a few reports for some friends like this to assist with their percentage gain goals. 

Either way, just let me know! I'd like to have more of an incentive to get my 50.04% up!

Ok, here we go with my May update (my worst in the year). Yeah, i have no excuse (except work) and having almost no energy some days to even start the console. 13 trophies. I promise next months will be better. My "trophy reaping" this month was distributed in 4 games:

 

1.- Yugioh Master Duel: The better progress i have. Managed to grab 4 trophies, including "To Greater Heights". Reaching this last trophy enables me to relax,play casually and not giving 2 cents for rank climbing, ascending or descending in the ladder. Now i only need to grab the trophy for accumulating 100,000 points of damage with card effects (Burn it all) and i will have a nice 100% in my collection. I hope my Trickstar, Red-Eyes and casual burning decks live to the task.

 

2.- TERA: I have contradicting feelings for this one. Yes, most probably with the closure of the PC servers in June 30, closure of the rest will come (eventually). Don't want to have it incomplete but the game does not attract me. I feel it lackluster in various aspects (especially combos and controls). Plus, i have 2 pending missions in the "Bastion of Lok", it seems i have them completed but the game doesn't mark my progress (don't know why). Will give it a try but i'm 50/50 with this one. Just got the trophy for ascending to level 20 and clearing the "Bastion of Lok" alone.

 

3.- Injustice: Gods Among Us (complete edition). Grabbed 3 trophies of the list of this game thanks to some boosting. Trying to establish more sessions to complete all the MP trophies.

 

4.- Sponge Bob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (Rehydrated). Grabbed this one in the April month courtesy of PS Plus. Seems like a nice easy platforming game. Already controlling Sandy Cheeks and in the roofs level. Altough i have some problems with the aerial sections (using the lasso to grab to the hat points without falling off). Will try to plat this as a stress reliever (the most complicated part is grabbing all collectables and that can be achieved with a guide).

 

So, my plans for June are:

 

1.- Try to grab the last trophy for the 100% in Master Duel. Will come back to the game even after getting all trophies just for casual duels and events.

 

2.- Will decide what to do with TERA. If i abandon it, maybe i will start Jump Force to get the MP trophies out of the way before August 24 and then update my archive in Genshin Impact and focus there also.

 

3.- If the boosting goes smoothly, i hope i will get all the MP stuff for Injustice and also for MK X. Maybe i will start MK X because of the "Invasion" trophy.

 

4.- Plat "Batle for Bikini Bottom" and, if i can, the "Nickelodeon Brawl" game.

 

Will put "the car running" this June month taking advantage i get vacation and will try to see what quick plat i can get out of the way in my PS3 backlog.

You can join and post updates in the thread, you just won't be included in the stat generation. There are a few people who do this.

99.8% completion is something most here can only dream off!

It isn't real though! :/ That only reflects games started. It's truly much worse than that. Putting together a spreadsheet was fairly helpful to see how bad I am at playing the stuff I purchase. And nifty to see how many trophy points are needed to hit overall completion goals. 

 

If you want a report based on whats on your profile, I'd be happy to make one for you! 

[gruffiiti]

Welcome @Yuna. Im guessing almost all our unstarted backlogs are stupido big. I made a list once and quickly decided not to try add up what I spent.

 

Whats this report you are talking about?

[Yuna]

Hi @gruffiiti! I even tallied how much money I have spent on unstarted games... x.x It did curb my spending habits but gosh does it hurt to look at. 

 

Effectively, its combing your profile and plugging in a bunch of stats to show how many of each type you are missing per game as well as how many trophy points are possible towards your %age goals. Did you happen to click the link I had shared in my original post?

Not sure how I missed that. It looks pretty neat and fairly in depth.

Did you plug that all in manually or have a bot to scrub info for you?

[Yuna]

I have a python script that goes through a profile to grab the data, though it waits a bit before going to new pages to not overload the site. Then I just copy the csv into my googlesheet with all my formulas. I put all my stats together by hand though since none of my unstarted is on the website. I do not recommend doing that for 100+ games ha.

Haha I thought it was bad enough typing up a list of 200+ games from my backlog. I don't want to think about adding all the other cool bits and bobs you did.

Its definitely cool to have though as more stats are always good IMO.

 

 

[Revenant_SZ]

Current Percentage - 66.31%
Goal percentage by end of 2022 - 97.50%

 

Wish me luck.

Good Luck!  Was going to warn you that you needed to go ahead and finish up the Jump Force Online since servers are shutting down, but you seem to be ahead of me on it ?

Hopefully won’t start a new game and complete my backlog with the exception of Driver: San Francisco, really want that platinum sticker.

Well, I can run it for you based on the incompletes you have on your profile if you'd like! My formulas are dynamic so its fairly easy to keep up with should you feel inclined.

Quite the goal! If you'd like some stats on how to most efficiently achieve that, let me know!

If its not to much trouble for you that would be interesting to have a look at.

Alrighty! It's running now - though it will probably take a bit since you have a good chunk of games on your account. I'll dm you the sheet details when its done!

Now I get it..sorry. So you combine started with non-started. Interesting exercise. And thank you for offering it but I stick to my plan for now otherwise I get real depressed.....?

 

I try to concentrate on all that I started and made a list of non started games I would like to play. Once in a while I throw a new game into the mix. Good thing is that during the last 2 years there were not so many cool releases. So the list stayed within certain boundaries.

[MikkelEhlers]

I have actually been updating more than I thought I would, so that's definitely a positive, here goes:

 

Update 2 - June, 3rd:

Starting PCG: 56.90%

Previous Update: 57.47%

Current PCG: 57.97%

Short-Term Goal: 60.00%

Goal: 65.00%

Long-Term Goal: 75.00%

 

Games:

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 12% ==> 100%

Elden Ring: 10%

Final Fantasy X-2 HD: 81% ==> 100%

Astro's Playroom: 0% ==> 100%

Tera: 40% ==> 100%

X-Blades: 5%

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: 0% ==> 100%

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: 48% ==> 52%

 

I'm getting a bit more used to the PS5 and already loving the layout. I do like it more than PS4 already, only thing I really miss are the folders with games, so I can make a folder of all the things I don't use that much like gallery, ps plus, remote play etc. or group together free games or something like that. I got everything transferred over from my PS4, but ended up only uploading all saves to the cloud, and then downloading them from the PS5 because the transfer over wifi nearly broke my PS4 in half (I did not work at all for me, I had to reset PS4 and everything). But now everything is settled except I still haven't downloaded that many games yet, but this is a good opportunity to actually complete the games that are on storage. I have some PS4 games that can upgrade to PS5, but I only need a few trophies and not all saves transfer, so it is a bit annoying, but I can always play the PS4 version, and that alone runs so much better and faster. And no sound while playing from the Playstation is wild for me, usually it sounds like a plane airing. 

 

Since last I accomplished much more than what I planned. I started a new game, Ratchet and Clank, because my roommate had it on disc, so I could borrow it from him. Amazing experience I would say. I am definitely in love with the adaptive triggers! I love the Ratchet series and also this was very nice to play, I only really played some of the original and the the "reimagining" and this new one for PS5. You could really feel the improved load times and the controllers amazing features. I'm not usually fond of shooter games, but I will definitely play some more just for the feel of the adaptive triggers, it feels so good! Loved getting the plat actually, very enjoyable for me or maybe it's the PS5 euphoria hyping my experience.

 

Ratchet wasn't the only plat I got since the last update, I also got two others that are really big for me. Tera and Final Fantasy X-2. These have been such long time in the making with FFX-2 being 3 years and 8 months since I started and Tera being 4 years and 1 month since I started. Ever since I found out about the potential shutdown I started playing Tera again to actually finish it. I did not have that far since I was about level 62, so only needed 3 more levels and some dungeons. But when I started up Tera and logged in no character was to be seen. Apparently the servers have changed since I stopped and I have not been playing for the entire migration period and also I missed all information about it. So I had to start completely from scratch. I almost gave up then, but I then saw it as an opportunity to actually play another kind of class. So I read the Brawler was pretty good solo, and went on. Luckily the game has changed so you don't really need to do the zone quests at all, you can just rush the story, and I'm so glad I found out because I got so burnt out on the zone quests. Also Tera is probably the shortest MMORPG main quest line and time spent from min. level to max. All in all the platinum wasn't that bad at all, until it came to the world bosses. These are the worst and terribly designed concept. Most of them are fine but there were 3 causing problems, because for some reason someone thought they should have a respawn time of 6 to 12 hours! Also apparently if you don't get the first hit on them (or one of your potential group members) the kill doesn't count. I was so lucky for this even though it was annoying, I got them all in one evening maybe 4 hours total. And they have so much hp two of them, they're definitely not designed to do solo, but I did anyway and it took about 20-25 minutes for a kill! It was a bitter note to end on, but I was so happy when I got it, because it had been so long since I started and I really felt like I can put the game away when the servers close down eventually and know I had my good times with it. 

 

The platinum in FFX-2 has been such long. I said close to 3 years but it definitely feels like more because I also played FFX. I really like the combat in FFX-2, I really liked the story and there is a lot I liked, but the reason I have been so on and off about it is because of the story 100% completion criterias. You have to do EVERYTHING in such a specific order and if you miss a single thing you will be locked out for the playthrough. So I followed a guide for the most part which kinda sucked the enjoyment out of lot of the exploration and such. I don't have a problem following guides, but I really don't want to feel like it's necessary. I think there's something wrong if you want to explore something, but if you do it too early you can miss out on certain important things later. Then there's the tediousness of the 100 floor tower with every enemy and boss inside, which each you have to kill a certain number of times to see the "oversouled" form of. And when you have done all this (takes a very long time and some enemies can be missed if you didn't do some specific side quests earlier) you have to play the "dlc" which is a completely different game more like pokemon mystery dungeon - rouge lite game. In this game has so many mechanics you suddenly have to learn, because you need to climb 80 floors and defeat some absurdly difficult enemies on the way. I thought I would hate this game mode so much, but actually I ended really liking it. I just don't think it really belonged there. Also luckily you can save every 5 floors or with an item every floor, so it's not like you're forced to start from the beginning from death. But if you're underpowered you will never really get further. There is an item where you can start over but without losing character progression. When I found out I just had to prepare and build up my character by starting over a couple of times the whole experience became much more enjoyable. I do really like Final Fantasy, so I'm really happy I've finished this because now I feel like I can actually start a new one with good conscience. 

 

I crossed X-Blades from the list for now, because apparently you can't purchase ps now subscriptions anymore, I assume because of the merging with ps plus. So here's to hoping it will be on the plus streaming for ps3 games. So for now I can't play it, so it's back on the metaphorical shelf. Also got a couple of trophies in Yu-Gi-Oh! Played it with my good friend, and it has also been a long time coming. Might look at actually making a good dent, because using the story deck for each battle is really difficult when you don't really now the strategy going in. I enjoy it, but not too long sessions. Probably because of too many cards all with different effects, so there's constant reading. I will be playing this on and off. Not really sure what to play now, because I'm not quite ready for Elden Ring yet. I won't be starting a new game but maybe get on with my current Warriors game. Also want to play Crash 4. I also really want to play a proper PS5 game but not sure, and shouldn't extend my backlog too much, so I need to be sure I'll finish it if I start. 

 

Sorry for the long ass novel of an update. TLDR; pretty good month for me trophy wise, I'm pretty close to the 60% already, I feel like I have an okay pace and I know I can't keep this up too long so here's to hoping!
