Fall 2022 Backlog Challenge

[Shivora]

Hey all,

 

Second update: Made some good progress with Bloodstained, around halfway through the main story. Also finished the 1st playthrough out of 3 on normal for Tesla vs. Lovecraft and around halfway through the 2nd on Aether (Hard).

 

A major "setback" was getting finally a physical copy of Elden Ring, I'm already 40+ hours in after 4 days and I love every second even though I'm still very much learning. Going with a Faith/Dex Confessor and just reached Godrick and well, wtf. I need to take a break to write an update here. I don't really feel like playing any other game for a while and I also don't care about the trophies, which is a feeling rarer and rarer nowadays. Since I don't want to feel like neglecting the event, I might as well add it as an 8th game. Thankfully the rest were a quite careful undertaking, so if I spend the next 2 months with Elden Ring, I'll still have time to clean up, hopefully.

 

Judgment (PS5) 48%

Guns, Gore and Cannoli (PS4) 42%

Tesla vs. Lovecraft  (PS4) 60% -> 78%

Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night (PS4)  11% ->27%

Seasons After Fall (PS4)  

Spirit of The North (PS4) 4%

Pyre (PS4) 7%

Elden Ring (PS5) 0 -> 4%

Update #2

9/14/22

 

What's good, y'all! Glad to see everybody's gettin it? Especially gonna be watching out for @Static_Rook's updates on Hotline Miami 2, really want to get around to that game but it lowkey intimidates me?

 

Been finding myself playing more non-challenge games, and The Hong Kong Massacre slowed me down quite a bit - I definitely had more trouble than most on that one! The story is super generic but the gameplay is a blast. Some of those challenges though are downright nightmarish! All's well that ends well though, eh? Funny how you can be cursing up a storm while agonizing over a challenge, then when it's over suddenly it feel like it wasn't so bad?

 

Need to get back into Katamari Damacy Reroll. Getting close to the point where I'ma have to figure out how to roll up EVERYTHING in the game, I must admit to dreading that a bit. Who wants to play a game where the whole point is to chill out and be silly only to be like "awrite let's get SERIOUS about this?" Nobody, that's who.

 

I might get started on Subnautica next, I saw the 40 hour time estimate, and that's bad news for me cuz in my language that means closer to 60 hours, so the sooner the better?

 

Anyway, that's it for me this week. Thanks for reading, thanks for posting, keep up the good work?

 

1. The Hong Kong Massacre (53-->100%)✅️

2. Subnautica (0%)

3. Bastion (0%)

4. Katamari Damacy Reroll (25-->49%)

5. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist (35%)

Update 2:

 

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

2) Warlock's Tower (Vita) 33%

3) Hello Kitty & Me! Block Crash V (Vita) 30% -> 69%

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

5) Word Search by POWGI (Vita) 32%

 

Progress:

Just played Hello Kitty. I'm at the point where I have to get an A Rank on all levels and S Rank 100 of them. Knocking them out one by one, but the Challenge levels are totally crazy.

 

Other distractions: 

Only Rayman Legends on the PS4 from the previous challenge is my daily place to go to. 

 

With the spooky season coming soon, I'm adding Trigger Witch (PS4) to the list. It comes in handy too when the Vita is charging.

Update 2
 

- 101 Ways to die -> 31%

- Aven Colony

- Grid -> 40%

- Murdered Soul Suspect

- Planet Coaster -> 12% 

- The Order 1886 -> 22% 

- Watch Dogs -> 26% 28%

I finished Planet Coaster and I really loved it, now if there was a VR version or update that would really be cool.

Next I started 101 Ways to Die, fun puzzle game what I might platinum in the next few days.

Also started The Order 1886 , I’m amazed how good it still looks and it will be most likely my next platinum.

 

That’s it for now

Description for PS5 Disc Console: I have bought my PS5 Disc Console 2 days ago and it delivered safe and sound in the afternoon. Bought a new extra controller Crimson Red and it looks super badass though Starlight Blue controller was my original choice but some sold out pretty quickly. I'll get that another time. I was blown away and it looks fantastic. But the only downside was that they haven't updated the custom background like they did on the PS3 and PS4 version consoles but it's alright. I will still need to get a new SSD before the end of 2022 or early 2023. I took the small risk and bought it for $1100 NZD. I'll show the photos of it and other stuff later.

 

Description for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart: My first initial thoughts about this game and honestly the graphics looks fucking awesome and I love it completely. It seems rather quick then taking it's time slowly. It was very good and I have no doubts that this game is almost a 10/10 perfect and so I give it a 9/10. So far so good the progression is coming along nicely and completed everything that needs to be done. I have set my performance quality at 1080p and 60 FPS. Now that was serious top notched response time for it. @MrGarland and @zizimonster. Here you guys my very first platinum Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

 

Highly recommend for this game!

Update #1

 

Fall is always a busy season for me so I figured this would take longer than normal. But I finally finished my first game, Jak II. Was nice to go back to a game from my childhood, but this playthrough reminded me why it's my least favourite of the trilogy. Very unforgiving game with too many tough, gimmicky sections. That being said I enjoyed myself with this game. 

 

Next up I'll tackle Tower of Deadly Monsters, since it's a short game and I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks at the start of October. Hopefully I can finish it by then!

 

1. Jak II (PS4) - 0% ---> 100%

2. Batman Arkham Asylum (PS4) - 31%

3. God of War (2018) (PS4) - 30%

4. The Tower of Deadly Monsters (PS4) - 14%

5. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time (PS3) - 0%

Why?
This was my game I had to finish on the other console and I had some cleanup to do but did that with chapter select. I also have this game for PS so I’m wondering what’s different?

The collectables don't get added through chapter select according to the guide . Luckily I had a fair few so got them through new game +.

It is a reasonably short game I know but I've not had much game time so it was just frustrating!

[AgentPenguin08]

Update #2

 

I definitely overestimated how long it was going to take me to finish The Tower of Deadly Monsters. I knew it was a shorter platinum but didn't realize it was only 3 hours to beat the game and another 2 hours to finish the platinum. It was a decent game but nothing special.

 

With all the hype surrounding God of War: Ragnorok, I feel like it's time for me to finally go back and finish God of War 2018!

 

1. Jak II (PS4) - 0% ---> 100%

2. Batman Arkham Asylum (PS4) - 31%

3. God of War (2018) (PS4) - 30%

4. The Tower of Deadly Monsters (PS4) - 14% ---> 100%

5. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time (PS3) - 0%

[Fanatixa1]

Hi everyone, 

 

Here's my weekly update. Managed to get 2 platinum trophies. First I completed Oceanhorn on Vita. I started this game about 4 years ago, got overwhelmed by the collectibles and never finished it. I had lost my save so had to start over, but it was not too bad. I used a guide to get the collectibles and overall the game was enjoyable.

I also finished Cult of the Lamb yesterday. I really liked this one. The gameplay loop of going on missions, collecting materials and building out your base is really nice. Also the cute little characters that you recruit in your cult are quite funny. 

 

This week I'll keep playing Ratchet and Clank on Vita. I already played quite a lot, but haven't gotten any trophies yet. I will also keep playing Two Point Campus, since my tv miraculously started working again.  

 

Ps4:

Cult of the lamb - 18% --> 100% 

Two Point Campus - 56%

Bugsnax - 5%

Moving Out - 6%

Yakuza: Like a Dragon - 17%

 

Vita:

Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas - 37% --> 100% 

Block-a-pix - 17% --> 27%

Rayman Origins - 25%

Ratchet and Clank - 1%

 

Swaps 1/3

Escapist the Walking Dead --> Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas.

Update 2

 

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a great week ?. I'm a bit late with my second update, mainly because I'd been distracted playing Horizon Forbidden West the previous week (a game not on my current backlog plan), and I didn't play any of my challenge games during that time. Then I went on holiday for a few days at the start of last week, so didn't play any console games for a few days. But I'm back now, managed to plat Horizon, all I have left on that game is the ultra hard run on NG+ which I'll probably go back to once I've made a bit more of a dent in my current challenge pile ?.

 

I've jumped back into the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and I've finished up the first of the two games in this Ace Attorney collection. I am very much enjoying the setting of this one, and I still think Herlock Sholmes is great ?. I do love the way the Ace Attorney games throw all sorts of twists and turns at you as each case unfolds, the final cases of these games throw so many surprises at you. The final case of Great Ace Attorney Adventures took about 8 hours to unravel, and it's set up a whole load of mystery and intrigue for Great Ace Attorney Resolve. I'm looking forward to getting into that, but I need a little break as the last case took so long to get through ?

 

Trophy progress:

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - 20 -> 41%

 

Pending games:

Doki Doki Literature Club - 0%

Detroit Become Human - 0%

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - 0%

Red Dead Redemption 2 - 32%

I love me a challenge.  Due to the recent news that PSVR2 will for sure NOT be compatible with older games I think I might focus on all my PSVR games.  I'll sprinkle in the PS1 Series as well.  The task is daunting, but I think I can do it.

 

Deracine - 3%
The Room VR: A Dark Matter - 0%
Ghost Giant VR - 7%
Space Rift - 0%
Psychonauts - 0%
Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin - 0%
Lucky's Tale - 9%
Ape Escape - 37%
Hot Shots Golf - 0%
I.Q. Intelligent Qube - 0%
Syphon Filter - 0%
Wild Arms - 0%

Hello! Discovered that this event exists today and since I have a big backlog, I decided to join in the fray if that's alright! 
Here's my list, gonna focus on games that have a 1y+ stay on my trophy list unfinished:

Dragon Quest Builders 2 - 8%
Infamous Second Son - 1%
Titanfall 2 - 5%
Shadow of the Colossus PS4 - 17%
NieR: Automata - 5%
Dark Souls Remastered - 4%
Resident Evil - 7%
Vampyr - 1%

Thanks for running the challenge btw! Great job 

[Vulpine9Tails]

1) Bright Memory: Infinite ☑️

2) Sackboy: A Big Adventure - 38%

3) Greedfall - ☑️

4) Judgment - 44%

5) Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series - ☑️

6) Destroy All Humans! 2 - 28% -> 42%

7) Pac-man World Repac - 5%

8) Immortals Fenyx Rising - 22% -> 44%

9) The Quarry - 8%

10) Tales of Arise - 5%

11) Final Fantasy VII Remake - 19%

12) The Forgotten City - ☑️

Added 13) Kaichu Kaiju Dating Sim - 0% -> 97% -> ☑️

 

Smallish update this week due to going in for surgery and then just not feeling well enough to play much. I also added Kaichu but I'm stuck at 97% due to having no clue how to get the bad ending. If anyone knows anything, please let me know! There's next to no information about this game online and this is exactly why I don't normally start games without guides usually. 

 

Edit: I got it. Turns out it is possible to fail in Act 1 and break your little Kaiju's heart before they can even get going. I kept having just enough "love points" to save the relationship into Act 2 that I thought the game forced you into it. Cute game but I am definitely done with it now after all those extra playthroughs trying to figure that out. D'oh.

I've started my next two games, Dark Cloud and Scribblenauts Mega Pack. I plan on doing Scribblenauts every morning to noon, Dark Cloud every afternoon to dinnertime and then Wizard101 every night. (Yes, Wizard101 is not a trophy game, but I just wanted to let you know where the gaming is each evening. I'm also playing Pokemon GO on my morning walks to catch Pokemon so I can catch two Meltan and evolve one to Melmetal later. )

 

I have 14% on Mega Pack but haven't gotten any trophies yet on Dark Cloud as there are only 20 trophies and most of them are grouped in the first town.

[MidnightDragon]

Due to unexpected events, going to have more time to work on my list in the coming days than I previously thought.
