Popular Post damcrac5 Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 Update #1 I have been really all over the place to start the challenge. Normally I focus down one game at a time. I like the idea of my account having 100% of the trophies (currently sitting at 91.86%). Normally, I avoid games that have multiplayer trophies as well. But of late, I've been going after it. Combine the multiplayer trophy grinds of Tomb Raider and TLOU, with a game like Elden Ring, and not a lot of progress has been made. I have made significant progress in three other titles (see what I mean, all over the place?). I am a couple days away from getting the 100% in Control Ultimate Edition, Cat Quest 2 (playing with my son), and Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS Vita) As you can see below, Tomb Raider is not on my list. I didn't plan on playing this title because of the multiplayer. However, I saw a boosting session, jumped in and got all the trophies requiring multiple people done. Now I have about 6 hours of grinding left to do to finish the last 2 multiplayer trophies and I'm off to the single player content. I am two battles away from the plat on Cat Quest 2... However, these guys are tough my son and I are having issues. Will likely have to grind up some levels and gold to get strong enough to overcome the challenges of a younger player. I want to talk about MGS 3... I've heard so much about the franchise, this game in particular. However, my experience has been very disappointing. The story is enjoyable, which helps push through the real issue. The trophy list is terrible. It is such a crazy collect-a-thon, that you need all of everything with no chapter select to recover. My biggest issue is that when you are out of stamina (which is where I am at in my save) your aim is not steady. I'm already not a great FPS player, and you have to shoot 65 of these little frogs. I'm on a section where you have to shoot them while riding a motorcycle, and my aiming reticle is constantly drifting. I don't have any more food to fill my stamina bar either. If I miss, I have to reload the saves which eats a couple of minutes each time. Needlessly to say, I am ready for this plat to be done with. About 30 minutes of game play, or likely 3 hours with the reloads. Vita was a poor choice for this title. Gonna keep after it, as I'm a couple hours from completing 3 titles!

Popular Post KunoGuy Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Sign me up again. Finished 15 games on the previous challenge so it was a good dent in the backlog, this time I will start with a smaller list and see if I can add some as time goes on. To start with I will revisit trying to finish Katamari Forever on PS3 since I had lost the save file from back in the day, I've been playing through it fresh. Also I want to beat three of the Sly Cooper games since I had 100% the minigames on the PS3, it requires you play all 3. So here's the list: Event Games 1. Katamari Forever PS3 50% 2. Daedalus PS4 28% 3. Metropolis Defenders PS4 (Korean) 20% 4. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus PS3 19% 5. Sly 2: Band of Thieves PS3 2% 6. Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves PS3 2% 7. Beyond A Steel Sky PS5 0% 8. The Wild At Heart PS4 0% 9. Untitled Goose Game PS4 0% 10. Spider Man Miles Morales PS5 0% Edited March 7, 2022 by KunoGuy 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some of those MGS trophy lists can be a little rough - MGS2 has an even crazier amount of things to collect. I still really loved them though..... I guess this sums up my feelings on the MGS trophy lists haha! ?? You've got this though! Plus you have a pretty awesome Tomb Raider game to play through once you finish up with that definitely tacked on, and definitely not asked for Multiplayer ? I don't know if you've gotten through that section yet in MGS3 - but if you're worried about being too precise with aiming on that section - then here is my advice. You can actually shoot those Frogs on the Bike Chase with a Rocket Launcher from what I remember and essentially tag them with splash damage.So if you are worried you can't be too accurate, that might be an option. Then to make sure you've got them, quickly equip the Directional Mic weapon, and point it in the direction the frog was, to make sure you hear the noise confirming you got the hit. You can do that in the PS3 version anyway, so I don't see why the Vita version would be any different - if I remember right there is at least one of them you can't hit with a Rocket Launcher because it's fairly close to people, and I'm assuming you're probably doing a no kills run at the same time, so that one you might have to tag with a Sniper Rifle/ weapon of your choice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice! I will take anything I can get to get past this part, lol. I am doing the plat is one playthrough so can't rpg everything, lol. That being said, I've gotten past the first three frogs, with one of them being on the move. One more tough one I believe, then I should be good to go. I tried rpg for a bit but it definitely doesn't go where I aim, lol. I did find out why I was struggling. Apparently the camo I had equipped drained my stamina, so my gun was just going everywhere. Once I fixed that from a previous save I got it on the 5th or 6th try. I think I'm in better shape now. Can only hope I didn't miss anything. I'd about lose it to go through these frogs again, lol. I'd rather play the chalice dungeons in bloodborne! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loading times on the Vita sucks, especially if you have a lot of save files.

No worries, if I can be any tiny amount of help I'd try haha Oh yeah, you know I completely forget you can get the platinum on this in one playthrough, but I'd imagine it makes the game a little less fun if you're playing it for the first time. What with there being so many things to focus on at once. There's a whole lot to remember, and like you said in your post it's a whole lot of - getting to an area and then looking at a guide and seeing you need "to collect this animal, this frog, this weapon, this camo..... before....... Those rockets are weird aren't they, they've got like a weird delay to them, and you have to basically do the reverse of leading a shot, because you're on the bike. I'm sure there's one that is one of the frogs that is near a sign on an airstrip part that you can safely tag with the RPG without any guards nearby it. 21 hours ago, damcrac5 said: Apparently the camo I had equipped drained my stamina, so my gun was just going everywhere.

I'd rather play the chalice dungeons in bloodborne! That's the camo you get from The Fear, from what I remember, I'd forgotten it does that. If you did miss something, the progress does at least carry over between save files. So if you basically do a playthrough on a cleared game save, and you knew which frog you missed, you'd only have to find that one thing again. I think you'd have to re-find the sets of animals though, I can't remember 100% if they get thrown into the things that get counted when you carry a file over. If it's any consolation I TOTALLY MISSED SOMETHING .... and it was a frog! It made me feel real sad inside haha.... Not a hard one, one that's in plain sight on the mountains just before the boss fight with The End. I don't know though - I'm not sure I'd want to do that corrupted Amygdala fight again from Bloodborne in that tiny boss arena in the chalice dungeon ?!

Great tip about the save files. I've been creating new ones every other area or so. I'm sitting at 27, lol. At this point, I might as well just go down to a couple. I found out it was the camo that was depleting my stamina, even on very easy difficulty. 39 minutes ago, rjkclarke said: Oh yeah, you know I completely forget you can get the platinum this in one playthrough, but I'd imagine it makes the game a little less fun if you're playing it for the first time.

I was wondering if my experience would've been completely different if I did a blind playthrough, but I thought it was just collectibles... how much could it impact my opinion of the game, lol. I'm so worried that I missed something and it will require a whole extra playthrough. Will be much quicker than the first, but still frustrating to do the frogs all over again. Corrupted Amygdala was the easiest of the 3. Think I spent about 30 minutes on her. The first one was the hardest, about 90 minutes, and about an hour+ on the fire dog thing. I'm terrible with names, lol. Wasn't too hard for me to hope for a ps5 remaster. Come on BluePoint... Give us another gem! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a blind playthrough first and I had a hard time just getting to grips with some of the stealth mechanics especially after being spoiled by MGS2. On top of that going for all collectibles and stuff in the same run would have been a real pain and I probably would have ended up hating the game. I prefer not to focus on missables in my first run anyway if the game is short. I think I ended up doing 2 or 3 runs but I had a positive view of the game in the end. Also following a guide can spoil things obviously and IMHO MGS games shouldn't be spoiled. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KimBongUn420 Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Update 1: Progress: Made some good progress in Cyberpunk 2077 - got all of the missable combat trophies done and now making my way through the main story. The game looks unreal on PS5, and has probably the most convincing open world I've ever seen. It's like if someone scaled up Kamurocho from the Yakuza games to a map 10x the size. But, I'm still encountering quite a few visual bugs (shimmering, cars rag dolling, hidden gems not showing up when they should, some quest NPCs bugging out) and have had several crashes as well. Patch 1.5 is a huge step in the right direction and the game is very much playable, but CDPR has a long way to go. Haven't done much with Horizon Forbidden West, waiting on some more minor bug fixes before I keep going. Excellent game though, minus the platforming/climbing. Adding Gran Turismo 7, which I've been looking forward to for years. The trophy list looks manageable so I think I'll get it done in 3 months. Another really excellent game so far. Spent some time deviating from the challenge again and finished up the Joseph: Collapse DLC from Far Cry 6. Plays the same as the other two although for visual and story reasons I think it was the weakest of the three. Still way better than the main game though. Plans for next week: Continue progress in CP2077 and GT7 Dawn of Ragnarok DLC for AC Valhalla comes out Mar 10 so I'll again deviate from the challenge to play that Color Key: Green: Completed Game (This Update) (100% or Plat) Blue: Completed Game (Previous Updates) (100% or Plat) Orange: In-Progress Games Purple: Newly-Added Games Red: No Change Since Last Update Black (Non-Bold): Not Started Swaps: 0/2 Horizon: Forbidden West [PS5] - 22% Cyberpunk 2077 [PS5] - 12% -> 40% Gran Turismo 7 [PS5] - 0% -> 12% Shenmue Shenmue II Lost Judgment [PS5] 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stuthesheep Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 A week in, let's have an update. God of War III 0% -> 100% Spy Chameleon (37%) 2064: Read Only Memories (22%) Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (5%) Just Cause 3 (1%) Ratchet & Clank (2016) Shenmue First one rather handily ticked off this evening, for the moment my plan is to leave Just Cause 3 until a bit later on since it's the one that will take by far the longest to finish and concentrate on finishing the shorter ones for the next month or so. Going to try and avoid falling into the trap of dipping in and out of different games and just focus on doing one at a time, otherwise I'll doubtless end up leaving one and never come back to it. Not yet decided whether to do the non-JC3 ones in current percentage order or just do whatever I feel like at the time - will spend my shift at work tomorrow pondering it. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crispy_Oglop Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Update 2 - I made a good progress in the main game for GTA V which amounted to a bit of story progress here and some side content there. I got the 'earn 70 gold medals' trophy out of the way which was one of the heavier parts of the platinum journey, some of the missions were tougher than expected, but the checkpoint system was a godsend. I joined a cult for the 'Kifflom!' trophy which is basically Rockstar trolling every completionist out there with the requirements you need to complete to unlock it. I also took care of the nuclear waste disposal mission last night which was about 1.5 hours of gliding about in a sub on the coast picking up radioactive barrels. I didn't realise how much money it generated per barrel + a sizeable bonus at the end. My next objective is to go for the 'All's Fare in Love and War' trophy which is to pick up a private cab fare. This one is apparently tricky as hell (based on all of the complaints people are making on the internet around it) because it is seemingly pure RNG as to if/when you get the call for a private fare mission. The annoying thing is, I got a call just after I picked up the last bit of radioactive waste. The issue was that I was still in the sub, over 100 feet under water, so by the time i surfaced, grabbed a car and got into the city, the fare cancelled. I tried a few methods mentioned online to get another fare to pop, but no luck. Tonight i'm going to try sleeping in a bed to push time forward by a week and see if another one pops (apparently it works on an in-game weekly timer). For the rest of the week i'm going to focus on GTA V, hopefully my momentum will continue! Divinity: Original Sin - 11% Beyond: Two Souls - 10% Dying Light 2 - 24% GTA V - 27% > 42% Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - 0% That's it for me!

I'm absolutely going to go for the Cyberpunk 2077 platinum this year, but I think based on what you were saying there about the bugs, I'll wait until patch 1.7 or 1.8. The fact that it seems to be improving is gradually bringing some hype back for me too which is great. 5 hours ago, stuthesheep said: First one rather handily ticked off this evening, for the moment my plan is to leave Just Cause 3 until a bit later on since it's the one that will take by far the longest to finish and concentrate on finishing the shorter ones for the next month or so.

Usually I try to keep it as varied as possible. Anyway, the “annoying” part is done, which is doing the multiplayer/co-op stuff. It wasn’t that bad actually and once we got the hang of it we were running missions on hard difficulty pretty quick. The so called grind for multiplayer was not really there and all in all my experience so far has been quite enjoyable. I have low expectations for the campaign, but I’m hoping it will continue on like that! Gran Turismo 7 Oh my god does this game look absolutely beautiful!!! It was well worth the wait, and I can’t wait to dig into it deeper. So far I’ve managed to get the first two licenses done with all gold medals. And have been chipping away on the races. My car collection is slowly growing and man I love it! I’m not in a hurry with this game and since there’s no real story to it I’ll keep playing this in between the other games. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Okay this one will take a bit of time before I start making progress again. I’m slowly moving through the story. Goal for this week should be to get all collectibles done in the first 2 or 3 chapters. I still don’t like the game, and I doubt I ever will. It’s just trying too hard to be funny. The controls and gameplay are fine it’s just everything else I don’t like about it… That’s my update for now. I have no planning of when I update. I’ll just update every now and then whenever I feel I’ve made enough progress to post. By the looks of all the other posts everyone is doing great so far! Keep it up! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LMGhenry Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Update #1: Swaps Used: 0/2 Resident Evil 3 [PS4] -- 4% Mass Effect [PS4] -- 10% Mafia [PS4] -- 20% Murdered: Soul Suspect [PS4] -- 3% -> 100% Days Gone [PS4] -- 10% Planet Coaster [PS5] -- 29% -> 54% + Horizon Zero Dawn [PS4] -> 19% (Dont remember what it was at when I started playing it this morning, probably about 12%) + Gran Turismo 7 [PS5] 0% -> 31% Progress: Finally got around to playing and finishing Murdered: Soul Suspect on Monday, at first I found it a bit slow paced for me, and you have to follow a pretty lengthy collectibles guide for all 242 collectibles required for the platinum which could be a slog depending on how you look at it. However as the game went on I found myself really enjoying the story and excited to keep playing towards the end of the game. The combat/stealth are very simple and easy to get through, and the investigations you do are similarly quite simple. But I found it relaxing to not have to concentrate too much and just go around picking up collectibles while enjoying a pretty good story, and its not too long for the plat. I'd reccommend it if thats the kind of gameplay experience you're looking for. Made some progress towards finishing Planet Coaster, but not as much as I would have liked to. I'm trying to platinum each ps+ game for PS5 that comes out now that I have my console, starting with Planet Coaster. I've enjoyed the game for the most part but I have to say its getting a bit grindy towards the end of the career missions. When you use optimized pricing for the game, (which can be found with a quick google search) the majority of the challenges in the game become quite trivial, and at this point its becoming about just min maxing everything to get through it as quick as possible for me, which isnt the best, but I feel like I've had enough fun and spent enough time with the game already so I'll probably just continue along with this path and try and get it finished up this week. I'm adding Horizon Zero Dawn to my list, It's been in my backlog for years now, I've tried playing it multiple times and just never really managed to find myself that interested in playing further in the game, until today. While trying to figure out what to play this morning I saw that I had horizon installed on my ps5, and decided to give it another shot, and found myself completely incapsulated with the story and now I'm a couple missions away from beating the game and thoroughly enjoying it. I can't quite say why I never connected with it before, I never had any real probelms with the game, it was just a feeling that I had before, and now a bit of a mood shift I guess. Regardless, I'll definitely be going for the 100% on this one, probably will get it done quite soon. so I thought I'd add it to the list. I'm also adding Gran Turismo 7 to the list, as I've been playing it so much that It'd be silly not to. What a phenomenal game. GT7 is the first Gran Turismo game that I've played, but I'd heard good things and I was excited to be able to play it on my new PS5, and decided to pick up a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT on release day to go with it. I can't stress how much I've loved the whole experience of both the game and the new wheel, hard to say what I love more, the game or the wheel, all I know is that playing GT7 on a wheel is some of the most fun I've had gaming in a long time. I've done all gold on the first two licences at this point, and played through about 75% of the menu books. I also managed to get the "Going the Distance Together: The Autobahn" trophy done in a boosting session this morning which is great. I've loved every second with GT7 so far, and I'm excited as I head towards the platinum. As for my other games, not much to say, other than I finished off Resi 2 (which was at too high of a completion % to put in this challenge). But now that It's done I'll probably get stuck into Resi 3 soon. I also downloaded Days Gone this afternoon intending to play it but got caught up in Horizon instead so possibly will start up Days Gone again once I'm finished with Horizon, we'll see. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ConAir Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Update #1: After the first week, I had less time to game than expected. Stuff happened work related but also at home. Plus, I got tempted to join a few sessions on PSNP or Discord. That's why I just started playing the first game on my list. I will add a few of the distractions to my to do list. Unfortunately I don't think I can add GRID Autosport, because I don't have the DLC and won't be able to reach 100% because of that. Or can I? Please let me know.

Popular Post Fanatixa1 Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, Here's my first update for this challenge. I've been making steady progress in Cook, Serve, Delicious 3!. I've been loving this game as it's very addictive and challenging in a good way. I'm going through the story mode while trying to get as many gold medals as possible. I will keep playing this game in the coming time and should be able to get the platinum. I've been playing more of Horizon Forbidden West. I'm enjoying it a lot. It's really pretty even on a PS4 and the gameplay is so much fun. I'm also quite engaged in the story so will continue playing in the coming time.

I have low expectations for the campaign, but I’m hoping it will continue on like that! I heard so much bad stuff about this and personally I had a blast with it mate. Enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oxford_wolf007 Posted March 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2022 Update 1 I wanted to finish God of War (2018) before the challenge started, because I knew I probably wouldn’t ever go back to it if I stopped playing (I didn’t enjoy it very much). I was a bit busy with job interviews right before the challenge though, so I ended up finishing GOW while starting SpongeBob. SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom I enjoy platformers, so I was excited to start this. It reminds me a bit of the Rugrats game from the PS1 era. I’m at 35 golden spatulas, and maybe halfway through the game. I’m enjoying having this short, relaxing game to calm me down from the agony that is....Uncharted crushing mode. Uncharted 2 I really suck at hard games. I don’t enjoy them, it’s not fun for me to play a part over and over and die for hours. The mastery aspect does not bring me joy. Like Marie Kondo I will yeet that shit out of my life. I will probably never play a Souls game. Now that you have context, I never finished Uncharted 3 because I started it on crushing, and the game just got more and more difficult, and everybody says “the boat part is the worst part.” So when I made it to the boat, my weenie-ness won out, and I just gave up. I’m hoping that this challenge will give me the motivation to get through Uncharted 2 on crushing, especially since I've played it before. Then, maybe I’ll have the motivation to go back and finish up Uncharted 3 (and 4, and Legacy, which have been in my backlog pretty much since I bought my PS4). But last night, when I finally made it through Chapter 14 (Draza boss fight) after like 3 hours, my ween is like “THIS, THIS IS WHY WE DON’T PLAY THESE THINGS.” I’m debating if I’m going to try and continue, or just walk away for now (which could instead be the permanent death of this game for me).

Popular Post Heather342 Posted March 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2022 Update 2 Hey there challenge friends, hope you're all having a good week ? I managed to finish up Gravity Rush this past weekend, most of my Saturday was spent trying to get gold medals on the challenges. The slide races were the ones I found the most difficult, mainly due to the motion controls on the Vita, but with a bit of practice I finished them all without too much trouble. Also for the main free races, I read a tip online that using the gravity kick is actually quicker than using the gravity free fall for reaching the checkpoints, so this helped a lot with getting those gold medal times. Most of this week I have been playing Catherine. I got through my first playthrough after being stuck on stage 9 for a while. Then I replayed from my save 2 more times to unlock different endings. I still have another 5 endings to unlock, but that requires reloading an even earlier save. I also missed out on 2 of the NPC trophies, so I think I may have to start again from the beginning. Not too much of a hassle though. I feel like I am getting better at working through the nightmare stages. I've managed 3 gold prizes and unlocked the second stage of Babel, I completed the Altar, but now I'm stuck on Menhir ?. Also managed to clear 20 of the first 64 stages of the Rapunzel arcade. I haven't started the playthrough on hard mode yet, and earning the gold prizes here seems quite daunting... I'm sure I can do it though ? Happy hunting everyone ? Trophy progress: - Gravity Rush - 51 -> 100% - Catherine - 37 -> 48% 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grim Legend games just need an extra playthrough and one a little clean up. I did a couple of missions in Gravity Rush and worked a little on the side content within the game. Ace Attorney tho I did playthrough the first game of the trilogy. I definitely forgot how much content there was in each of the episodes of the game lol, but it's what gives it so much character. I'm hoping to work on Until Dawn and Man of Medan this month and work on platting Cat Quest because so far it's been such a cute and fun game. I'll probably do my next update at the end of the month, hopefully by then I'll have made a lot of big progress on tackling this list!? Happy Trophy Hunting! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 On 3/7/2022 at 4:20 PM, KunoGuy said: Sign me up again. Finished 15 games on the previous challenge so it was a good dent in the backlog, this time I will start with a smaller list and see if I can add some as time goes on. To start with I will revisit trying to finish Katamari Forever on PS3 since I had lost the save file from back in the day, I've been playing through it fresh. Also I want to beat three of the Sly Cooper games since I had 100% the minigames on the PS3, it requires you play all 3. So here's the list: Event Games 1. Katamari Forever PS3 50% 2. Daedalus PS4 28% 3. Metropolis Defenders PS4 (Korean) 20% 4. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus PS3 19% 5. Sly 2: Band of Thieves PS3 2% 6. Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves PS3 2% 7. Beyond A Steel Sky PS5 0% 8. The Wild At Heart PS4 0% 9. Untitled Goose Game PS4 0% 10. Spider Man Miles Morales PS5 0% Sorry for the delay.

Popular Post Crispy_Oglop Posted March 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Update 3 - Happy Thursday everyone! Grand Theft Auto V I didn't move the needle too much on my trophy progress - but I did make some on the in-game completion percentage. I spent the last couple of nights clearing the races, base jumps, Triathalon courses and various other miscellaneous stuff needed to get that 100% trophy. As I was going through them on the map, I realised how it feels a bit like a Yakuza game on that front, only less intense and challenging. After playing this, it really dawned on me how hardcore the 100% completion requirements are on some of the Yakuza games. One thing I will say is that I find the underwater exploration both in the sub and in scuba gear really unnerving, did anyone else who played it before think the same? The way the lighting and audio works together really gives the feeling that you are realistically underwater and in an environment that you wouldn't normally exist in, somewhere you probably shouldn't be. Subnautica was a game that gave me that sensation for a while (at least until I got geared up and equipped), but even then that was more fantastical in context. GTA V has a layer of realism which provokes something in my lizard brain. For the coming days i'm going to spend some time working on some of the Misc. and Hobby requirements for the platinum. There are two heavy looking collectible trophy requirements, so i'm on the fence if i'll go for those now or if I'll wait until the main story has wrapped. Divinity: Original Sin - 11% Beyond: Two Souls - 10% Dying Light 2 - 24% GTA V - 42% > 44% Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - 0% It's so nearly weekend and I cannot wait! Hope everyone is doing okay and catch you in the next update Edited March 10, 2022 by Crispy_Oglop 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an embarassingly long backlog, and I tend to focus on games until I earn platinums. Right now, I'm at: You need to go through the sign-up process for the event before you can participate @DoctorComplete - Head back to the first post in the thread and take a gander at the requirements for joining. All of the information you need is there. For example - you would not be able to add Genshin Impact as the completion percentage is too high.

I have an embarassingly long backlog, and I tend to focus on games until I earn platinums. Right now, I'm at: Genshin Impact: 85% I took a few days away to celebrate my birthday with my family. Now that I'm back, I'm splitting between exploring Enkanomiya (no trophy), raising reputation in Inazuma (a trophy, but gated behind 3 bounties and requests per week, ugh), and discovering all of the Enigmatic Pages that make up the Toki Alley series (I think this is the rarest trophy to date).Asdivine Hearts: 20% I like KEMCO RPGs because they're easy to play and relatively no-nonsense with just a hint of nostalgia. I admit that Genshin is a time suck and a half. However, when I complete all of the Battle Pass requirements between updates, I just do daily stuff in Genshin and then play other games. I think I'm almost at BP level 40 (out of 50), so I'll be getting back to this game soon. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but be sure to check the first post to see the sign up rules if you want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xItsLesterx Posted March 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Update #1 First update of the month and it didn't take my half way through the event to do it?That's a win for me. Anyways, I completed Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. The game is ok. Think it was weaker than the first one despite of the expanding of the Nemesis system. The last act was boring and unnecessary. Perhaps the best thing about the game is the "true ending" where they tie it to the movie series. I quickly jumped into My Name is Mayo 2 and shockingly, I enjoyed it ?They added mini games and they were quite fun. Now, I'm gonna jump into Operation: Tango. Should be a quick one too, granted if I find someone to play with? - Middle-Earth: Shadow of War (19% => 100%) - My Name is Mayo 2 (0% => 100%) - Operation: Tango (0%) - Oddworld: New N' Tasty (0%) - Oddworld: Soulstorm (0%) Great seeing everyone's progress and updates so early into the event.
