• LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (PS4) LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Vita)
• LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (PS4)

All three swaps are consumed.

 

Yep, there goes my final swap, but I had no choice. I realized that, since I am playing an MMO and catching Pokemon for my Living Dex(which I will not complete before Scarlet and Violet come due to requiring to 100% Legends: Arceus, which will take months ), there was no way I was getting the platinum for Skywalker Saga before the event ended, so I decided to just go back to something simpler. That and my Vita log is bad. While I now have bought Skywalker Saga and it's technically on my 'backlog', I decided to save it for a later month, probably either on my next five if I decide to continue with Persona 5 Royal, or post-event, as I realized how BIG this game is. LEGO Harry Potter was massive with 24 levels a game, but this is insane - NINE movies with probably six levels a movie for 54 levels!!! That's not adding it all the required side quests and Kyber Bricks. ?

 

So yeah, not doing that game right now. Besides, I had platinumed LEGO Batman 3 for the Vita on other accounts so it's technically backlog. Also, I'll be more invested in Pokemon as I'll be playing Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness when I get into the Batcave, er, shed that is slowly getting completed. They're going to finalize the electric input so I could plug in my PS4 in that shed tomorrow morning, so I'll be drafted to put up the walls and floors so I need to budget my time, and I can play LEGO Batman 3 on the Vita while at gym or grocery. (Not to mention that I have a dentist appointment to clean my bridges on the 13th so that's another 3 hours I won't be on the PS4.)

 

But now that I burned my bridges, I am not sure I want to continue past 10 games. Yes, Persona 5 Royal is upgrading on the 27th but with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet coming out, it'd require me to do massive cheese to rush to the platinum in that game. I could do it, but I don't know it they'll give the same DLC that the PS4 version has. Anyways, we'll see what happens when we get to that bridge.

 

I'm not quitting the event, I just want to let you know why I was so capricious.

Also hit my 2,500 trophy with a Resi 2 for shooting a dog out of mid air, wild. I’m going to continue flipping between Resi and Borderlands 2 this week, my wife laughed at how much I’m jumping from Resident Evil 2 - does have a lot of jump scares and I’ve been wearing headphones with lighting low at night, spooky !

 

Have a great week everyone!

 

- Elden Ring - 15% -> 27% -> 50% -> 
- The Evil Within - 16%
- Borderlands 2 - 1% -> 2% -> 5%
- Darksiders 2 - 5%

Hey guys, update time.

 

1. NieR: Automata (PS4): 7%
2. Alien: Isolation (PS4): 34%    -> Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (PS3): 37%
3. Jump Force (PS4): 20%
4. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (PS3): 94%
5. Arcana Heart 3 (PS3): 31%

Swapping out Alien: Isolation with Space Marine for the PS3. I recently started collecting miniatures again and painting them, and I have to say it's a lot of fun. I haven't painted minis since the Lord of The Rings battle game, and I was in the third grade then, though I'm painting Warhammer 40K now. So of course I bought the 40K game for the PS3 and started to play it. It's pretty fun, though the DLC is quite hard to beat. Thankfully, my team is pretty good.

 

That said, all this miniature painting and codex reading has eaten away at my gaming time, hopefully I'll pick up the pace soon...

 

Good luck with your challenge.

Update 5

 

Hi everyone, hope you've all had a great week and earned loads of trophies ?

 

My week was pretty much Guardians of the Galaxy, the story in this game I found really enjoyable (much better than most of the Marvel offerings as of late). It's not an overly long game either, so it doesn't outstay its welcome. I decided early on that I was going to play the game twice, as I wanted to enjoy the story without having to trawl through collectable guides initially. The majority of the trophies did just unlock naturally through gameplay, my second playthrough was pretty much just a collectable run (and 1 Call to Action trophy that I missed in Chapter 3 ?). I managed to unlock the Lore Hoarder trophy by the time I got to Chapter 6 in New Game+, but still had some costumes to collect in the later chapters. Stupid me also managed to miss 1 outfit in Chapter 4 because I misread the guide ??‍♀️, so had to finish my second playthrough in its entirety on New Game+, then start another New Game++, and then do a chapter select to Chapter 4 to pick up the last costume. A bit of a faff, but thankfully not too much of a pain to complete.

 

I had made a start on Persona 5 Strikers last weekend, that will be the next game I focus on. I'm coming up to another trophy milestone (4,500 trophies), so I'll pop the plat for that. I do love an Atlus game, a few of my milestones are some of Atlus's finest ?. 

 

I've also been dragged back into Overwatch. I thought I was done with this game, but the update into Overwatch 2 this past week added a new DLC trophy list. I was hoping it would be a separate game with its own list but being as it's a free to play live service game now, the updates are constantly going to be added to the original list. I had set my own personal goal to have a 100% profile by the time I get to plat #100, these updates to Overwatch are going to be problematic ?. Guess I need to dust off my Overwatch skills and try getting good again with the new heroes.

 

That's all from me. Keep up the great work everyone ?

 

Trophy progress:

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - 6 -> 100%

Persona 5 Strikers - 0 -> 1%

 

Pending games:

Red Dead Redemption 2 - 34%

Detroit Become Human - 0%

Doki Doki Literature Club - 0%

 

Completed games:

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

Man of Medan Has Glitched Trophy. Does Anyone Have Solution To Fix. I researched but all was unclear and is digital ps4 version. If not i may need to make a substitution.

Which trophy glitched for you? I played this game and got the plat with no issues, not heard about this being a buggy game

[reaperveteran86]

Update 6

- Left Alive 0%

-  Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight 32%

- Ys Origin 79%

- Kill la Kill IF 71% -> 100%

-Shantae and the Seven Sirens 0%

- Siren 42%

- Wild Arms 34% -> 72%

- The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters 0% -> 24%

-Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation Code Fairy 14%

- Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection 100%

 

I finished Kill la Kill IF, a arena fighting game from Arc System Works based on the anime. The story mode was really short (2-3 hours) but the game has different other modes to counter that. The presentation and music were really good and I had a lot of fun except for two modes were you fight against a group of jobber enemies with a time limit. In this modes the camera and auto aiming were my biggest enemies and it got frustrating.

Aside from that, I continued to play Wild Arms (only the last 2 dungeons and a few of the secret boss fights and I`m done) and I started The Coma 2 (halfway through my first playthrough).

Update #5

 

Elden Ring (ps5) 7%

Nier: Automata (ps4) 

Tearaway Unfolded (ps4) 11%-> 

Yakuza: Like a Dragon (ps5) 35%

Kingdom hearts final mix (ps4) 47%->88%

Two point campus (ps5) 

Rime (ps4) 7%

It takes two (ps5) 0%

A plague tale: Innocence (ps5) 0%->

Tera (ps4) 8%

Temtem (ps5) 45%->50%

 

4/11 completed

2/3 swaps

 

That's 4 done and close to 5, proud run left on KH. Been enjoying every bit of KH and should be done with it soon. It will probably not be my main focus now that I just need to finish my proud run.

 

Knocked out A plague tale this week, decent game and story. Some annoyances along the way, but that may be just a me problem felt weak during some of the fights, but as the game is focused on stealth I guess that's just how it is. Not the greatest fan of stealth games, but this one was worth it and there is another game coming to the series soon I think, so was nice to get it done. Hugo is so adorable!

 

As for temtem I haven't done much, will keep it as a side game. I may or may not have the time to get the plat before the event is over, but I'm okey with that.

 

Next I should get back to Yakuza or Elden ring, not sure yet. Apart from what's mentioned above I've platinumed Minit for another event and started playing Disney dreamlight valley. Minit wasn't to bad, just not my type of game.

Disney on the other hand, damn. Spent 50h+ on it already, quite enjoyable as I'm a huge disney fan. Playing with my gf, but since shes on ps4 we're taking a small break from it since the ps4 version crashes a lot now that we've unlocked all available characters and zones. Patiently waiting for a fix.

[SE-Kage]

Can we still join this even now? I'd like to give myself some motivation to clear the games on my backlog across PS3/4/5!

 

They would be:

-Hitman Absolution HD (29%)
-Lara Croft: Go (0%)

-Bugsnax (2%)

-The Order: 1886 (0%)

-Life is strange (0%)

-Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no yaiba (17% / 19%) (theres no autopop)

-Stray (4%) (theres no autopop)

-AC 3: Liberation (5%)

-Batman return to arkham: Arkham asylum (7%)

-Ni no Kuni (0%)

I am going to be doing these LEGO games off and on. I do intend to finish them before October 27, but for now I am just doing them on my own time, since I have other things to do. Considering that my new house is getting the wiring in, I'll be able to plug in my Vita in that house... but it'll be just squatting on the floor to play due to not having any walls or floor yet.

 

I did still spend my trip to the gym and back playing through the first four levels of LEGO Batman 3 Vita, which shows how short the levels of a Vita LEGO game are compared to its big brother on the consoles. Updates will be sparse for the month, though. All of you, good luck as you grab those platinums, and if anyone is doing a spooky game for Halloween, let me know.

I think so. I don't there is a sign-up or anything for this event, but if the mod wants to veto me, they'll post a reply.

- 101 Ways to die -> 31%

- Aven Colony -> 1%

- Grid -> 40% 43%

- Murdered Soul Suspect -> 78%

- Planet Coaster -> 12% 

- The Order 1886 -> 22% 

- Watch Dogs -> 91% 

 

I got the platinum for Watch Dogs and did the Bad Blood story but I might swap it. I’m just not in the mood for all the contract missions…

I started Aven Colony, I like city building games and this one does not disappoint. Trophies are slow I only got 1 so far ?

I also played Murdered Soul Suspect and finished the story, as stubborn as I am I didn’t looked at a trophy guide so I need to play it a second time getting all collectibles. 

[Fanatixa1]

Regardless, the remaster didn't fix the most important thing, which was removing Vaan and Penelo from the game entirely, so 2/10 it sucks /s

As someone who's started FF12 a dozen times and finished it once I completely agree

 

Work has been draining but as I'm not as invested my current ward (temporary assignment as they are mega short staffed) as my previous one it's been easy to just walk away at home time rather than loiter and do extra duty. This week I've been working on Diofield Chronicles and (off list) Potion Permit. Potion is a nice slice of life alchemy sim-lite but it makes me want to play the much better games that influenced it - Rune factory, Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper etc. Diofield is enjoyable but I'm starting to hit the point where the AA limits of the game are obvious - the maps, enemies and battle objectives are recycled. I like the characters and the story lines so I plan to finish this one soon to see how it plays out, a nice warm up for Tactics Ogre. This week, as well as Diofield I want to progress in the beautiful Valkyrie Elysium. I think will also start to dip into shorter multirun games like Crown Trick, Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon and do a few Northgard skirmishes. Have a nice one

Call of Cthulhu 100%

Children of Morta 100%

Just finished Little Hope, doing the two dark pictures back to back was a real slog tbh and I didn't enjoy the story of Little Hope that much so it felt like it took forever to get completed, they did tighten up the gameplay compared to Man of Medan so hopefully when I get round to House of Ashes it should be a step up in gameplay and story. Hoping to complete Far Cry 4 next and make the plat my 3500 trophy on my profile! 

 

1) Far Cry Blood Dragon

2) Far Cry 4

3) Ghost of Tsushima 

4) Little Hope (100%) 

5) Man of Medan (100%) 

[ConAir]

Update 6:

 

1) Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Vita) 50% 

2) Warlock's Tower (Vita) 33%

3) Hello Kitty & Me! Block Crash V (Vita) 100%

4) Garou: Mark of the Wolves (Vita) 23%

5) Word Search by POWGI (Vita) 50% -> 58%

6) Trigger Witch (PS4) 0%

7) Onrush (PS4) 91%

 

Progress:

There was little time to play last week. I finished 3 series of Word Search puzzles. This week I will apply for a new job. I think I will have time to play after that. Wish me luck.

I platted that. Some of it was a pain, but nothing too crazy bad. One time I had a mission involving a turtle and I had to do 10-15 missions outside that to make the damn thing show up.

 

I platted Arcade Game Series: Pac-Man, but decided not to add it to the list. 

Very much appreciate the insights.  Some of the missions do have #PainInTheAss written all over them but its an oldie and a rare play so I'm wanting to get it done.

 

I've got a few trophies on FC6 for some easy trophies that I've also not added to the list.  This is the first time I've taken part in this challenge and I'm very much enjoying it.

Update 8:

2. Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden - 100%  9/15/22

3. Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden - 100%  9/21/22

4. Hollow Knight - 7% -> 58%

5. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - 2%

6. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered - 0%

 

Swaps (3/3)

A Plague Tale: Requiem -> Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden

LEGO Harry Potter Collection: Years 5-7 -> Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice -> Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered

 

I made some decent progress on Hollow Knight and am about almost done with the game, I believe. The game is pretty challenging, mostly due to the platforming parts. I ended up using the glitch for some bosses and platforming sections and especially for the pantheons. Overall, really enjoying the game!

[maxfighter23___]

i going to begin with platinum games i have done alot of research on google i have watched my trophielist i going to do the heft of my list tbe coming months i have alot of unfinished and i was always thinking to restart with other account on psn but i have chosen by not doing that since i really cant play on 2 accounts 1 is just enough for i have been playing torchlight2 and i am really enjoying that game so that would be my next platinum trophie i already did two bosses in the game lvled up pretty quick from lvl 1 until 10 i started with the mage classes i like the class but i have also torchlight 3 but i dont think i am going to do that game yet first the other games so happy hunting with games guys

Update 6 - 10/12/2022

 

Criminal Girls 1% 2%

 

Swaps
Digimon Story Cybersleuth -> Lone Survivor
Disgaea 3 -> Metrico
Hotline Miami 2 -> Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters

 

Yep, it's swappin' time. Criminal Girls has killed any motivation I had to finish longer, grindy games. So Digimon, Disgaea 3, and Hotline Miami 2 are out. If I don't take the Winter Challenge off I may bring them back for that, we'll see. For now, I'm swapping in a few quicker games. Well, "quicker" as in 30-50 hours each instead of the 100+ Digimon and Disgaea would have taken. But I'm still keeping the low % Vita games theme going, and the swap-ins all qualify for the Ultra Rare Challenge as well. Efficiency!

 

I'm almost at the halfway point of Criminal Girls so I should start making real progress this week. If I can finish it by the end of the month, that will leave me with all of November for the three new games. Which means about a week per game plus the final week as a buffer.

 

Have a good week!

 

Full game list(1/5 complete, 3/3 swaps used)

Ar nosurge Plus: Ode to an Unborn Star 9/23/2022
Criminal Girls: Invite Only 1% 2%
Digimon Story Cybersleuth 1%
Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention 1%
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number 7%
Lone Survivor 7%
Metrico 4%
Tokyo Twlight Ghost Hunters 5%

Been a long time since my last update, I have been Ill and still recovering, but I managed to sit down and complete God Of War,
I really enjoy the story and father and son interactions in this game, the environment design is beautiful , however

I sadly didn't enjoy the platinum grind, it felt very draining to get all the collectibles.

 

That being sad I am extremely excited for Ragnarok, I plan to swap out Uncharted 4, I just haven't decided what to swap it to yet. 
Next I will be getting into the Halloween mood and focusing my attention on MediEvil
