Summer 2022 Backlog Challenge

[Heather342]

Update 1

 

Hi guys, hope you've all had a great week and a strong start to the new backlog challenge ?. 

 

I did actually take a little gaming break for a few days. The last 4 months I was taking part in a trophy league on one of the discord servers I'm in, and it had been a pretty intense time especially towards the end (spoiler alert - my team won! ?). So I took a few days to recharge before the summer backlog challenge. 

 

So far the only game I've played is Resident Evil 2. At the start of the year I decided that this game would be my milestone trophy for platinum #75. This is the first time I've played this game, although I did start it a couple of days before the start of the challenge. I used to watch my brother play the original RE games on PS1 when we were kids, but I was always too afraid to play it. Now is my time! ?

 

The most progress I've made was this weekend, and I'm a substantial way through the trophy list now. I am still playing on assisted mode for now. I've finished Leon A and Claire B scenarios, seen the true ending, got quite a few of the misc trophies and done the no box run. So far I'm really enjoying the game, although I have been spooking myself by playing in the dark with my headphones on ?. Particularly when Mr X showed up and started chasing me around the place, the genuine sense of dread I felt reminded me of when I played Alien Isolation (I have screamed a few times).

 

I had a few goes of the extra modes today. I got pretty far in the 4th survivor mode but not finished it yet. I need to plan my route through better and conserve my ammo. I'll keep practicing and hopefully will get it done this coming week.

 

Trophy progress:

Resident Evil 2 - 20 -> 51%

I am skipping the event this season, but will be back for the fall!

 

Have fun everyone.

Hey guys. Hope it's been a nice week and you've had a good start to the challenge.

I was told my a doctor that I have been slowly breaking down since a serious incident at work and that they were worried about my mental health. My emotions had been cycling quite quickly, I wasn't really sleeping or looking after myself properly. I was still working hard so no-one noticed/mentioned it earlier lol. I was ready to quit hearing this as I felt a bit of a failure for not keeping it together. Fortunately my manager was really compassionate and encouraged me to stay but take a bit of sick leave. I feel pretty embarrased about it all now, but I will be taking a few days to focus on me, getting some post-incident support and look at handing over some of my workload to others. Hopefully this will help me move on from the incident and be happier and effective at life in general. Short term advantage - is I'll have some time to play every day this week.

 

This week, rather than focus on a particular title, I've been playing broadly across my list. I've played a bit of Hitman 3, Atelier Sophie 2, Control and Phoenix Point (non-listed game, it may be added to the list once they confirm trophies have been fixed with latest patch).

Sophie has a really relaxing slice-of-life feel to it with zen inducing alchemy mechanic, playing on normal difficulty I've found a few bosses require you to pay attention but not necessarily min-max. I didn't like my first few hours with it as it looked and felt rough compared to Atelier Ryza, however it was very easy to get over the differences and accept it for the game it is.

Hitman continues to be an excellent murder sandbox. My wife has had some giggles at the accidental deaths (exploding golf balls, wine presses etc) so it's a popular game to play at home. I am a bit baffled by the DLC though - I have the second Hitman and so have some content unlocked, however I don't have Hitman 2 GOLD so I'm locked out of 2 bonus levels and related DLC. Money is not really something I worry about with terms of spending on games, however, having to shell out £30 for two levels worth of content in order to 100% the game seems a bit silly so I'll have to think about this. If it were cheaper, if I didn't already have the majority of Hitman 2 content already unlocked or if there was a way I could upgrade Hitman 2 to Hitman 2 GOLD and have those bonuses passed along to Hitman 3 content, then I would feel differently about it.

Control is a fun play. I rarely come back to games I've already completed but I wanted to see how it played on a PS5 and explore the DLC. I love anything with a 'SCP Foundation' feel and it's been fun to read all the lore and re-experience some of the metaphysical shocks, horrors and delights.

Phoenix Point again, not on my list until I've confirmed if the trophy list has been fixed. I started this as my hard/long campaign game. I'm enjoying it so far, going against all advice and started with all the DLC turned on so a bit overwhelmed by the options but the learning curve isn't as bad as I feared.

 

This week I hope to finish Control and either get through Outer Wilds in a weekend session or dig deep into another game. Mentally thinking about other titles to add to bring my challenge amount up to 15... I was thinking about a sigital board game like Ticket To Ride or Fury of Dracula and I'm waiting for the ultimate zen game Hardspace Shipbreaker to drop this month. Have a good week

Update 1:

• Resistance 3 [PS3] - 0%
• MotoGP 18 [PS4] - 10%
• SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom [PS4] - 0% -> 8%
• Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires [PS3] - 0%
• Papers, Please [Vita] - 0%

I finally started on my games today, just to put me on the board. I played a couple of hours of SpongeBob and so far it's a pretty cool platformer. I saw a lot of people had this game on their lists so I won't spoil much of the game. I'm also trying to juggle some other games outside of this challenge (plus every day my summer schedule gets fuller and fuller with other stuff) but I'm fully committed to my list.

 

I will continue on with SpongeBob next week but I have no idea how far I'll get.

Til next time!

Update #2

1. Control - 0%
2. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - 1% ➡️ 97%
3. Detroit: Become Human - 4%
4. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life - 6%
5. Reus - 30%

(0/5)

Swaps (0/3)

 

I was really surprised I was able to make it through Crash 3 and get the platinum. I have always been really bad at platformers, and the only thing I've gotten good at I feel like is the souls-inspired tenacity to just keep smashing my head into a wall until I make it through. I would have 100%, if not for the fact that as soon as I got to the end of Future Tense after working to get all boxes, I found I was at 144/145 boxes and had to put it down for now.

 

Not on my list, but @TalesofGaming helped me get the platinum for Human Fall Flat! They still haven't fixed online multiplayer on PS5, so we had to use shareplay. Still have a couple of DLC to work through, but planning on getting Tales her plat first

 

Just started working on Control, but I might actually go and take a detour on something really chill and short as life hasn't been the nicest recently.

Phase 1 Total Progress

10  1  0  0  = 11/194 3.01%

 

Picked up where I left off with Cyber Sleuth and completed a couple of story related trophies.  However, spent most of that time setting things up so I can power level my Digimon so I can begin to build my team and work towards some of the roster based trophies.

 

Also finished the 3rd chapter of the Telltale Game of Thrones game.  Having completed the game on the PS4 I really regretted some of my choices in the first 2 chapters that I made 7+ years ago, but what can you do.  Will probably finish this one by the end of the week.

Update 1:

 

1. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life - 1% -> 15%

2. Maneater - 0%

3. NieR - 1%

4. SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated - 0%

5. LEGO Harry Potter Collection: Years 1-4 - 0%

 

Started Harvest Moon again! I had played this game back on the GameCube when I was a kid so it brought back memories. ❤️ Honestly, this trophy list scares me since everything is missable. If I have to do a second playthrough, so be it. I would just like to enjoy what the game has to offer for my first playthrough anyway and get as many trophies as I can. ?

[Vulpine9Tails]

Crash Bandicoot 4 - 24%

Cyberpunk 2077 - 0%

Deathloop - 1%

Far Cry 6 - 8%

Final Fantasy VII Remake - 6%

Ghostwire Tokyo - 10%

Greedfall - 0%

Immortals Fenyx Rising - 22%

Saints Row the Third Remastered - 16%

Skyrim - 4%

Tales of Arise - 5%

The Artful Escape - 

The Sinking City - 0%

Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection - 5%

 

Second game done: Kao the Kangaroo. Exemplified precisely why I don't really like 3D platformers that much. For some reason I wanted to play it. Glad it was short. I'm not sure at this point what my next game is going to be, but I am thinking I am going to swap a couple games out due to the fact that they have coop elements and I don't want to have to rely on my bf when he's not even able to play with me for the next month or so due to being out of town for work and working night shifts. 

 

So I will be swapping:

Nobody Saves the World -> Stray (out July 19)

Sackboy's Big Adventure -> Sifu 0%

2) Rocketbirds Hardboiled Chicken (Vita) 61% -> 78%

3) Old Man's Journey (PS4) 0%

7) Super Bomberman R Online (PS4) 0% -> 100% (shutdown 1/12) ✅

8) Anarchy: Rush Hour (PS3) 0%

 

Rocketbirds:

With the sign collecting and killing Bruno Hardboiled style left, the Platinum Trophy is within reach.

 

Rayman Legends

After finishing the Vita version of this game I continued playing for a while. I decided to the PS4 version in summer. I really like this game and don't really mind the online grind. Scoring Gold Cups is easier on this one as there is a bigger playerbase than on the Vita.

 

Super Bomberman R Online

Allready on the backlog since its release but due to the announced server shutdown, I want to get this one done asap.

 

You need to have a friend with a premium account to get the Trophies. @Letenko22 is currently running a session for it and brings players together for the single 5 player Trophy. 

 

As a bonus we also had a run for the 6 player Trophy in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.

 

My only other distraction last week was UFC Undisputed 2009. Found someone willing to go for the online Trophies. Meet Gold Digger. My rarest Trophy so far. The one hit KO move was the by far the hardest to execute. 

 

Gold Digger!

[KimBongUn420]

Update 1: 

• Making my way through Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.  It's been solid so far, although I wouldn't necessarily call it a good game.  It plays like a worse version of Nioh 2 and unless you either really love Final Fantasy or find the Nioh series to be too hard, just go play Nioh 2 instead lol.  Also, Chaos.
• No progress on anything else.

Plans for this week: 

• Work on SoP
• unpack all of my moving boxes ?

List:

1. Cyberpunk 2077 [PS5] - 42%
2. Shenmue II
3. Life is Strange: True Colors [PS5]
4. Lost Judgment [PS5] - 2%
5. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin [PS5] - 0% -> 26%
6. My Name is Mayo 3

Games Complete: 0/6

Trophies: 40/262 (15.2%)

Update #1

6/7/22

 

Okay, this is more like it!

 

Firstly a few quick shouts:

 

@Heather342, I hope your back is feeling okay after carrying your Discord team to victory?

 

Corny jokes aside, props on that, great stuff! And Res 2 is a fine landmark plat, I'm really glad to hear that you're having a good time with it?

 

@StilRh, thats so great that they're giving you the opportunity to put your mental health first. Sounds like you've got that old school "Sure my limbs keep falling off, but these bills won't pay themselves" mentality (I can relate), but everybody's got their limits. Hope you're doing okay!

 

Also you and your relatively fresh copy of Hitman 3 have my envy?

 

@YaManSmevz... oh wait, that's me?

 

UnMetal was a surprisingly good time! Had a lot of laughs, enjoyed the retro Metal Gear stealth approach (despite the title assuring us that this game is not, in fact, metal in any way), and while it had its challenges here and there, was a pretty quick and breezy experience. Definitely recommended for retro game lovers!

 

Speaking of breezy, Stick It to the Man flew by so fast that I'm really happy I spaced it out a bit. You really could beat this in a few hours, but it's such a charmingly goofy experience that I do suggest anybody playing it to take their time! It feels like wandering through a dark-but-wacky Saturday morning cartoon or something, and I got caught off guard by more than a few funny moments. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I'm adding Flipping Death as well!

 

Just starting Guacamelee and I already adore it. The look, music, and Spanglish all speak to my heart! Also, I'd heard the term Metroidvania so many times but never really bothered to think about why a genre might be called that... kinda embarrassing how I never ventured into these types of games, because literally once I started moving Juan around I was like "OHHH, I get it!"

 

Ay. Ya man is behind on the times, what can I say?

 

Still tackling GTA V, so progress may not be as swift as I'd like. But the goal for the week is to get as far as I can in Guacamelee and knock out Flipping Death. Once GTA is done, I'll be a lot more confident about adding more games - if I can keep this rate up, then it shouldn't be an issue.

 

I'm really excited to kick off another challenge with y'all! Already peeps are killin it and I'm about it? As always, thanks for reading and thanks for posting!

 

1. Transistor (4%)

2. Salt and Sanctuary (0%)

Update #1 

Right now am focusing on 428 Shibuya Scramble, was going to have a time that I was not going to play one of the games on the challenge because I have been playing trails in the sky on steam, and have been addicting, but I think the best way to go about this is to take some time for it every night for me to get progress in on it. 

Trophy Progress: 

428 Shibuya Scramble: 9-13% 

 

 

[Fanatixa1]

Hi everyone, 

 

Heres my first update. I’ve played a lot of Lego Harry Potter years 1-4. I’m enjoying it and I’ve finished my first play through. Getting back now to 100% all the levels and get all the collectibles. 
 

I’ve played a little bit of Cuphead, only got a trophy for beating a level without taking damage. I’m guessing this game will take me a while ?
 

Elden ring - 0%

Update #1
 

It's great to finally start! I had quite a bit of free time so far this week so I was able to knock out most of the Wonder Boy collection, the first bonus dungeon in Criminal Girls, and I finished off Eiyuden Chronicle. I quite enjoyed Eiyuden Chronicle, but I found a lot of the side quests to be a massive waste of time. I'm kind of in the mood for some Ni no Kuni so I might fire that up next and see how much I can do this week. Happy hunting, everyone!

Update 1 - 6/8/2022

 

Anthem 23% 59%

 

Starting this challenge with Anthem and it's going pretty good so far. I was almost done with a bunch of quests when I stopped playing before so I was able to jump in and finish up most of them quickly. Beat the story, and now I just have a couple more side quests to do. I've been whittling down the weapon challenges as I go so I only have a couple more of those left, too. The real grind will be the remaining gear challenges, getting up to Masterwork level , and finishing No Stone Left Unturned. 

 

I'm hoping I can get the Anthem plat this week and then start on the next game. Trying to knock out a few on the list before Sunbreak comes out and starts eating up all of my time.

 

One week down. Good luck, everybody!

 

Full game list (0/7 complete, 0/3 swaps used)

One week in and I'm happy with the progress so far!

1. South Park: The Stick of Truth - 7%

2. Ratchet & Clank - 10%

3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - 20%

4. Medal of Honor: Frontline - 22% -> 30% - I'm playing through this one on Hard difficulty and it's been kicking my ass a little bit. The hardest part is that there are no checkpoints so some of the longer levels become very tense and if you fail near the end you've wasted 20 minutes! I'm currently stuck on a VERY long level, the longest one of the game I believe, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing after that

5. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen - 11%

6. Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - 17% -> 100%  Was able to get this one wrapped up very quickly. Really fun and chill platinum!

7. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - 17%

[gruffiiti]

First update from me for the summer edition.

 

 

Everybody's Golf

Haven't been playing this too much just yet but did manage to make it to Rank 4 so far. Also have my clubs upgraded enough that I can start to get Eagle chances more regularly. My plan is to play this off/on the next 2 months while focusing on other main games. Its just fun to pickup for an hour and play a couple quick rounds.

 

Elden Ring

After 3 months (and plenty of hours put into it) Elden Ring is finally completed. I'm not sure how any other game can top this as my GOTY as it was brilliant. Most of the game was played co-op with @Man of Inaction and it was a ton of fun. We cleared out each area pretty well but I'm sure a few things were missed as the game is massive and has so much content hidden around every corner. Oddly enough I didn't have too much trouble with Malenia (most peoples vote for hardest boss in the game) but struggled heavily on the Elden Beast. It added hours of attempt after attempt to 'Git Gud' but was worth it in the end as I finally killed it with just a sliver of health and no heals left.

 

 

• Everybody's Golf - 12% --> 21%
• South Park: The Fractured But Whole - 1%
• Assassin's Creed : Origins - 2%
• Deliver Us The Moon - 0%
• Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep - 0%
• Elden Ring - 48%  --> 100%

Update #1

Hey guys hope everyone is doing good progress on their games!

Going steady on my end but slowed down by the fact multiple play throughs are needed for both games. I might try and hop around to the visual novel games if the grind for weapons and ID’s gets to tedious this week. Would really like to get them done tho so I can fully concentrate on Horizon as a birthday present for myself lol.

 

1: Horizon Forbidden West

2: Biomutant

3:Atelier Meruru ~ The Apprentice of Arland

4:Yakuza 3

6: GalGun Double Peace: 0~75%

7: Kotodama: The 7 mysteries of Fujisawa

8: Hitman: Blood Money

10: Ghost Runner

11: NieR Replicant: 0~48%

[freddie1989]

First update as I told myself I want more regular ones going forward. Unfortunately I don't have much to update on?

 

When AC Origins says 'complete all locations' i didn't realise just how many there was! It is giving me nightmares about the Unity chests again!! Hopefully once we get there it will be better progress onwards.

 

Other than that I'm looking to start Spyro for something quicker and easier and may even add the other titles in if I enjoy it.

 

Happy hunting people!

 

Assassin's Creed Origins 33% - 39%

Far Cry 6 0%

Resident Evil 7 7%

Spyro 0%

[MidnightDragon]

I decided to strike Dragon Age II. I haven't figured out the replacement. I will do Dragon Age II in the fall. Mark my words! And @Yuna can hold me to that if she feels strongly about it.  

 

Chrono Cross-2%

Dragon Age II (replacement TBD)

Eiyuden Chronicles: Rising

The Falconeer

Marsupilami: Hoobadventure

Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure

Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves (PS3)

Stray (July 19) 

 

Swaps used:2/3

 

I've truly meant to start by now, but first life got in the way. Then finding out kfree7 killed my desire to play for a couple days. I'm keeping Chrono Cross, but its plat will no longer be my 4,000th because I wish to play something more lighthearted. Hopefully this weekend, but I make no promises.

1.) Red Faction: Guerrilla (PS3) - 40%
2.) Jump Force (PS4) - 31% -> 38% [shutdown 8/24]
3.) Blade Kitten (PS3) - 28%
4.) Magrunner: Dark Pulse (PS3) - 15%
5.) Assassins Creed Freedom Cry (PS4, Stand alone DLC) - 5%
6.) Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4) - 30% -> 72%
7.) LEGO The Incredibles (PS4) - 5%
8.) Super Bomberman R Online (PS4) - 0% -> 100% [shutdown 12/1]

9.) Stick it to the Man (PS4) - 0% -> 4%

 

Been focusing mostly on FF7R. Beat the normal playthrough and going through hard, so things have slowed down a bit, some parts are pretty tough. I enjoyed the story though I can understand issues people had with it. Given the source, and the amount of player investment in the source, I don't think they could've done anything that would've made everyone happy. I liked the new twists, guess I'll need to invest in a PS5 if I want to see what happens next.

 

Jump Force is going to be a slog but I still want to 100% it before the shutdown date just to be safe. Bomberman I probably wouldn't have bothered to put on my list if I knew how trivial it would be to boost. Thankfully I had a friend who picked up the premium pass on steam and was able to setup private lobbies via cross-play, so that was quick n' easy. If I hadn't played a public match and got two trophies when I first downloaded it, I could've been on the fastest achievers board.

9.) Stick it to the Man (PS4) - 0% -> 4%

 

Been focusing mostly on FF7R. Beat the normal playthrough and going through hard, so things have slowed down a bit, some parts are pretty tough. I enjoyed the story though I can understand issues people had with it. Given the source, and the amount of player investment in the source, I don't think they could've done anything that would've made everyone happy. I liked the new twists, guess I'll need to invest in a PS5 if I want to see what happens next.

 

Jump Force is going to be a slog but I still want to 100% it before the shutdown date just to be safe. Bomberman I probably wouldn't have bothered to put on my list if I knew how trivial it would be to boost. Thankfully I had a friend who picked up the premium pass on steam and was able to setup private lobbies via cross-play, so that was quick n' easy. If I hadn't played a public match and got two trophies when I first downloaded it, I could've been on the fastest achievers board.

Just note stacking doesn't count in the event.

Noted. I did the PS3 version of Stick it to the Man way before this event started but I won't bother with the Vita stack
