Popular Post Rebourne07 Posted December 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Platinum Difficulty Challenge 2023 (2nd Annual) Premise During the year 2023 you must earn one platinum trophy from every difficulty level 1-10. So you must earn a platinum from a 1/10 game, a 2/10 game, etc. all the up through a 10/10 game. *Upon first visiting this challenge, please take a moment to expand each of the hidden contents sections here in the main post at least once. There's a lot of good information and resources to help you enjoy the challenge and have an easier time planning, picking and finding games for your list! Rules Spoiler The difficulty ratings can come from any trophy related website, but they cannot be your personal ratings. You must submit proof in the form of a link for each game's difficulty rating. Examples: PSNProfiles - Final Fantasy XIV - 6/10 PlatPrices - Deathloop - 3/10 PowerPyx - Battlefield 2042 - 5/10 PlatGet - Alan Wake Remastered - 5/10 PlayStationTrophies - Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart - 2/10 MetaGame - Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time - 9/10 TrophyTom - Life is Strange: True Colors - 2/10 Knoef - FIFA 23 - 4/10 Dexdotexe - A Plague Tale: Requiem - 3/10 Etc. - If its a reputable site with difficulty ratings that are either voted on by the community or assigned by a guide writer then it works. Each platinum you want to count must have a timestamp within the year 2023. You can make any amount of progress you want to before then, but the platinum trophy must be unlocked in the year 2023. If you are not eligible for PSNProfiles leaderboards, you cannot enter this competition. Everyone must be able to see these on your profile for you to participate You can join the challenge anytime and with any amount of progress already made. The challenge will be open throughout all of 2023. Auto-pop platinums count. The goal of this event isn't to put a bunch of restrictions on everyone to make it as hardcore as possible. The goal is to have fun. If you wanna auto-pop Spider-Man Remastered for your 3/10, that's fine. You can platinum the games in any order. Games without a platinum do not count, regardless of the difficulty rating of achieving 100%. No DLC or 100% required, only the platinum trophy. Each difficulty level must be completed. You cannot substitute a higher level platinum in place of a lower level platinum. It's important to the challenge that you experience every level of difficulty 1-10. When it comes to glitches or exploits...anything goes. If you want to use in game cheats on Hades, god mode on Control, the invincibility glitch on Hollow Knight, or you got Infallible on Fall Guys back when it was glitchable...then you can count those. Hacking or other cheating that can be determined through timestamps will of course be removed and not count and you are subject to being reported to PSNProfiles mods, but platinums earned through glitches and exploits will be counted. Some websites differ in their difficulty ratings for the same game. For example, Resident Evil Village is listed as a 5/10 on PSNProfiles, but a 7/10 on PlatPrices. Using Resident Evil Village for either your 5 or 7 is acceptable, just not both. Like you cannot do the PS4 version as your 5 and the PS5 version as your 7. Each game needs to be unique. Side Note: If you do more than one list in the same year, you can count both versions of the same game. They just have to be on different lists. For community voted polls, either the average or the rating with the highest number of votes counts. If the site doesn't calculate the average for you, you can use this Vote Average Calculator I wrote to make it easier. In order to use community voted poll ratings the poll has to have 10+ votes on it. If you find a rating on a site that is X.1, X.5, X.X etc. then you can count it as either/or as long as it's X.1+. So, for example, say you find a game that is rated as 6.4/10, then you can count it as either your 6 or your 7. This will especially happen a lot on playstationtrophies.org with ultra difficult games since the community vote method ensures a game can be 9.X, but will almost certainly never be voted as a pure 10/10. In the case of a game that is 9.1+/10, you can count it as a 9 or a 10. Please do not argue with others in the comments about their difficulty ratings. A moderator of the event can ask them for a link to prove their ratings, but if there's a link that shows the rating, please don't argue that the game is easier or harder than what they have listed. How to Join/Participate Spoiler To sign up for the event, just comment here! It's best to comment a list of games you want to go for. Do some research on difficulty ratings of games you want to play and look up a few 7/10, 8/10, 9/10 and 10/10 games to see if you want to commit to this challenge. It will not be easy. That said, even if you provide a list of games you want to do, you are never locked into those games. You can change any game, any time. Also, its perfectly ok to plan from the beginning to only go for a bronze, silver or gold tier. There's a world of difference between a 9/10 game and a 10/10 game so if you'd like to participate in the challenge but not stress over going all the way, that's ok! As you platinum a unique game from each difficulty level, post it here to update us. You don't have to post every game if you want to skip posting about the lower difficulty games, but you are welcome to. If you've already posted a game from one difficulty rating, say a 5/10, then you platinum another 5/10 game...don't post the second one unless it applies to a separate list. One game per rating per list please. When you complete a tier, please tag me in a comment and I will add your name to the leaderboards section! When you have completed all 10 difficulty ratings of the challenge and your name is on the Platinum tier of the leaderboards, you can add this sweet challenge completion badge to your signature to show off your mad skills! Special thanks to @DrBloodmoney for designing the event badge! Sample List Your list can be in whatever format you want. Please have links to your ratings somewhere in your posts, at least by the time you're reporting that they are complete. It's also good to have some indicator on there as to which ones are complete and which ones have still yet to be done like a green check or platinum symbol on completed ones. It's also good to lay out the badges you're going for since that'll help you keep your goals organized, give others good ideas on what games they can use to earn badges or possibly I or others can help spot a mistake if you've incorrectly judged the requirements for a badge. Resources Spoiler PSNP+ The PSNP+ Chrome Extension can be very helpful in helping you organize your list and see game difficulty ratings at a glance. The Game Lists function lets you put the games you want to do into their own lists so you can track progress better and provide screenshots of your progress with your updates if you want. The trophy guide tags feature lets you see info like difficulty rating, number of playthroughs required, time estimate etc. directly from your list. Game Suggestions It can be difficult to find games of certain ratings. If you are having trouble finding games for a particular rating, see some suggestions below. Finding a game rated 2-6 should be fairly easy, however, 1, 7, 8, 9 and especially 10 can be hard to find. These lists are purely suggestions and are by no means to be considered exhaustive or complete. You'll notice lots of overlap between the lists. It's pretty common to be able to find a game at a rating a little higher or lower than the PSNProfiles rating if you look around enough. If you have any games you wish to recommend to others that are 1, 7, 8, 9 or 10 that are not already on one of these lists, please tag me in a comment or message me with the names of the games you want me to add here. Please provide links to guides or polls rating your suggested games. 1/10 Spoiler 1/10 Search on PlatPrices Black & White Bushido Burly Men At Sea Clannad Day of the Tentacle Remastered Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!

Set to 'exactly' if looking for a single specific difficulty number Badges To make things a little more interesting this year, there will be optional badges you can earn. These badges give you a way to distinguish your list from others or give yourself an additional challenge if you wish. A badge is awarded to a list, not a game. So a badge can only be earned once per list. Please note the number of games required for each list varies badge to badge. Badges will be posted next to your name on the leaderboards once you reach Bronze tier or higher. It's a good idea to include and track your badges on each update post you make. Badges are not required for completing the challenge. There will be two winners for the Platinum Difficulty Challenge 2023 declared at the end of the year: The player with the most badges overall The player with the most unique badges The prize for each of these is a $25 USD PSN card and a personalized event completion badge to indicate that you won the challenge. Winning is more about the bragging rights and the fun of the challenge than the money. Special recognition will also be given to those that earn the rarest badges, whatever those end up being. There are a total of 31 unique badges. However, since the FIRST! badge is only accessible to one person, getting every single badge is essentially earning 30 unique badges (or 31 for the person that earned FIRST!). This would require 4-5 lists minimum...so it's literally insane, probably the most difficult challenge on PSNProfiles. That said, if anyone actually manages to do it I'll send them an extra $50 USD PSN and commission them a custom signature badge. (Only one winner, first person to do it if multiple people go for it). Above and Beyond - Platinum a game with an official time estimate of 80 or more hours Award Winner - Platinum a game with a trophy guide that won a PSNProfiles Guide of the Year award Brownie Points - Platinum a game from Rebourne07's favorite series (Final Fantasy) Carpe Diem - Platinum a game that’s a Playstation Plus Essential game the same month it’s added Finally! - Platinum a game that you started 3 or more years ago FIRST! - First person to complete the challenge at Platinum tier Fresh Starter - 6 or more games on your list had 0% progress prior to 2023 Guide Writer - You personally wrote the trophy guide for a game on your list Hardcore - 7 or more games on your list have Ultra Rare platinums at the time of finishing your list Jack of All Trades - All 10 games on your list are from a different genre Love Bird - Platinum a Romance game in February Mad Skillz - Platinum a Fighting or Racing game rated 8/10 or higher Masochist - More than one game on your list qualifies as a 10/10 Minesweeper - Complete a full list without earning any other badges Money Bags - 6 or more games on your list came out in 2023 Murica - Platinum a game set anywhere in the United States in July OCD - Platinum all 10 games on your list in order Old School - 3 or more games on your list are remakes, remasters or PS1/PS2/PSP games One Trick Pony - 6 or more games on your list are from the same genre Overachiever - Complete platinum tier on a second list in the same year PS3 Master - Platinum 6 or more PS3 games on your list PS4 Master - Platinum 6 or more PS4 games on your list PS5 Master - Platinum 6 or more PS5 games on your list Rare Genre - Platinum a game in the 4x, Business, Pinball or RTS genres Rare Letter - Platinum a game starting with J,O,Q,X,Y or Z Repeat Offender - Platinum 2 different versions of the same game on two different lists in the same year Series Conqueror - 3 or more games on your list are from the same series Shameless - Auto-pop 3 or more games on your list Spooky - Platinum a horror game in October Vita Master - Platinum 3 or more Vita games on your list VR Master - Platinum 3 or more VR games on your list Badge Specific Rules Spoiler Please spell out clearly in your posts which badges you have earned. I may not realize you've earned a badge just from looking at your list. You can earn as many on a single list as you can fit. A platinum must apply to a list to earn a badge. A game can count towards multiple badges at once. You can earn the same badge twice if you complete more than one list, but you cannot earn the same badge twice on the same list. You can complete as many lists as you are able. You can change an already completed list as long as the swap you make results in you getting more or different badges. A completed list is Bronze tier or higher; no badges will be given for anything less than Bronze tier. In order to complete a second list, you must have finished your first list through to platinum tier. Same for third, fourth etc. Only your "final" list can be Gold or lower to count for stacking badges. Badge criteria will not be changed after January 1st, 2023. The number of games required to complete each badge that specifies a number of games is not arbitrary, but purposeful. All badges either require 1 game (easy), 3 games (medium), 6 games (hard) or 10 games (very hard) The only exception is the Hardcore badge requiring 7. I wanted it to be 10, but many people pointed out that finding 1s, 2s and 3s that are Ultra Rare is very difficult. If two or more people tie for first place in either winning category, the person that posted it first wins. There must be two unique winners. If one person is winning in both categories, the second place person will win the most unique badges category. If you have any questions about how exactly to earn a badge, see the Clarifications section below. If you still have questions, tag me or message me. I'd hate to have someone dedicate time to earning a badge but not earn it in the end due to a misunderstanding with rules. Future Badge Ideas Spoiler Some players have come up with some great badge ideas. These won't be implemented this year, but maybe next year. If you have an idea, tag me in a post and let me know. Anthropomorphic - Platinum a game with an animal main protagonist DCO - Platinum all 10 games on your list in reverse order Easy Mode - Platinum a list of all 3-6 rated games Fan Boy - Platinum a Sony 1st Party Exclusive Girls Rule - 3 or more games on your list have female main protagonists Grinder - The sum total of the official time estimates of all the games on your list is 700hrs or more Hard Mode - Platinum a list of all 7-10 rated games Hipster - 3 or more games on your list are from the Indie genre Impossibru - Complete Platinum tier on a fifth list in the same year Licensed - 3 or more games on your list are licensed games with characters originating from movies, comics, etc. Loyalist - All 10 of your ratings come from PSNProfiles Mind Blown - Complete Platinum tier on a fourth list in the same year No Plat No Problem - Earn 100% base game trophies on a game without a platinum Rebourne Roulette - Give me 3 genres and I'll give you 3 games to put on your list Simmer - 3 or more games on your list have 'Simulator' in the title Snooty - All 10 of your games have Metacritic ratings of 80 or higher Speedrun - The sum total of the official time estimates of all the games on your list is 150hrs or less Top Ten - Platinum one of the hardest games on Playstation Whoa - Complete Platinum tier on a third list in the same year Y tho? - Platinum a game rated 1 or 2 difficulty with an official time estimate of 50hrs or more Badge Clarifications Spoiler Here you can find a list of rules and clarifications on exactly what it takes to earn each badge type. The rules are not in place to make things harder, only clearer. Clearer for participants to understand and clearer for me to easily tell if the requirements are met by looking at your list. Please ask me in a comment or message if you have further questions after reading these. If you bring up a point that isn't addressed here, I'll add your point so others can benefit from it. Above and Beyond - Platinum a game with an official time estimate of 80 or more hours Time estimate is determined the same way difficulty is, via an official guide or the average of a community voted poll If a time range is given, you can use the highest end of the given range It doesn't actually matter how long it took you, only that the official estimate is 80+ hours Award Winner - Platinum a game with a trophy guide that won a PSNProfiles Guide of the Year award Any game with a trophy guide on PSNProfiles that won one of the annual Gold, Silver or Bronze Guide of the Year awards counts The Blue EHQ awards do not count The guide being a trophy guide vs a gameplay guide vs whatever other type of guide doesn't matter Any guide not from PSNProfiles, regardless of what it won, cannot be used for this badge You don't have to count it on your list as the rating given on the PSNProfiles guide. Same rules apply to these as all other games that any guide or community poll rating works. Here's a full list of qualifying games: Spoiler All PSNProfiles Guide of the Year Winners 2022 - 1st: Sol Cresta, 2nd: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, 3rd: God of War: Ragnarok 2021 - 1st: Final Fantasy XIV (PS5 Version), 2nd: Hades, 3rd: Control 2020 - 1st: Trails of Cold Steel IV, 2nd: Demon's Souls Remake, 3rd: Divinity: Original Sin 2, I Am Bread, Persona 5 Royal, Last of Us Part II (Tie) 2019 - 1st: Crypt of the NecroDancer, 2nd: Persona 5 (Walkthrough), 3rd: Tokyo Xanadu 2018 - 1st: Monster Hunter World, 2nd: Final Fantasy IX, 3rd: Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom 2017 - 1st: Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, 2nd: Persona 5 (Trophy Guide), 3rd: The Witness 2016 - 1st: Trails of Cold Steel, 2nd: Fallout 4, 3rd: Transformers: Devastation 2015 - 1st: Dragon Age: Inquisition, 2nd: Bloodborne, 3rd: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain 2014 - 1st: Gran Turismo 5, 2nd: Final Fantasy X HD, 3rd: Puppeteer Brownie Points - Platinum a game from Rebourne07's favorite series (Final Fantasy) Any game that is a part of the Project Platinum: Final Fantasy counts, even the ones listed there as optional You can also count Fortune Street: Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary even though it's not a part of the FF Project Platinum Games that are not directly related to Final Fantasy, but have references to them, like Kingdom Hearts, do not count Carpe Diem - Platinum a game that’s a Playstation Plus Essential game the same month it’s added Any Playstation Plus Essential game counts If a multi-game collection is given as a PS Plus Essential game, only one platinum from the collection is required Even if you do not have Playstation Plus Essential, you can still buy a featured game and complete it in the same month to earn this badge Must be platinumed in the month it is featured, not just during the time window it was on the service For example: XYZ game is a March PS Plus Essential game, but isn't taken off the service until April 4th...the deadline is still March 31st Finally! - Platinum a game that you started 3 or more years ago The time from your first timestamped trophy to the platinum trophy must be 3 years or longer An example: If your account is less than 3 years old or your completion percentage is above 90% you can have this badge for free on your first list since it'd be impossible to obtain otherwise FIRST! - First person to complete the challenge at platinum tier The very first person to post all 10 games completed for the year 2023 This badge is only given to one person and cannot be earned by anyone else after that Fresh Starter - 6 or more games on your list had 0% progress prior to 2023 Cannot have earned a single trophy on 6 or more games on your list prior to 2023 They can have been loaded on your profile at 0%, but none of the 6 can have any trophies timestamped before 2023 Guide Writer - You personally wrote the trophy guide for a game on your list Can be a guide written on PSNProfiles or any other trophy site with a publication process...i.e. not a guide just posted into a forum somewhere You don't have to be the sole writer. Even if you are listed as a contributor that counts. Hardcore - 7 or more games on your list have Ultra Rare platinums at the time of finishing your list This goes hand in hand with The Ultra Rare Cleanup challenge Rarity will be checked for each platinum whenever you tag me to say you've earned the badge The rarity must be the PSNProfiles rarity, not the PSN rarity For example, this game would not count: But this game would count: Jack of All Trades - All 10 games on your list are from a different genre This goes hand in hand with the Platinum Every Genre Challenge Genre means genre or theme, they are interchangeable To earn this badge, look at the genres/themes on each game on your list and "count" each game as a genre that's listed on each game's trophy page. As long as there are no overlapping genres among your 10, then your list counts. If a game has multiple genres (most do) you can "count" it as whatever works for your list. Sample List: Can only be earned on Platinum tier lists with all ten games completed Love Bird - Platinum a Romance game in February Any game with the Romance theme counts The game must have the Romance theme listed on PSNProfiles or IGDB, it cannot be subjective Timestamp of the platinum trophy must be within the month of February 2023, any amount of progress can be made beforehand 2023 is not a leap year so the last day is February 28th Mad Skillz - Platinum a Fighting or Racing game rated 8/10 or higher The game must have a difficulty rating of an 8, 9 or 10 and belong to the Fighting genre or the Racing genre The game must have the Fighting/Racing genre listed on PSNProfiles or IGDB, it cannot be subjective Masochist - More than one game on your list qualifies as a 10/10 Many games can be found as a 10/10 in one place, and lower in another place To earn this badge you must platinum more than one game on your list that can be found as a 10/10 on the same list The game that you do not count as a 10 needs to have an official rating of 9 or lower from somewhere as well Minesweeper - Complete a full list without earning any other badges In my opinion this will be the hardest and/or rarest badge Must purposefully avoid earning any other badge (i.e. No more than 5 PS4 games, Your 8, 9 and 10 can't be racing or fighting games, Can't platinum your games in order, No more than 2 remakes/remasters, etc.) If your completion percentage is above 90%, you do not have to avoid the Fresh Starter badge To avoid the restriction of this not being possible on your second list due to the Overachiever badge, if you happen to want to complete this on your second list you can choose to earn this on your second list instead, but you'd need to do a third list to earn the Overachiever badge Here's a full list of requirements: Spoiler No game on your list can have an official time estimate of 80 or more hours No game on your list has won a PSNProfiles award No Final Fantasy games on your list No Playstation Plus Essential games platinumed during the month they are added No game on your list that you started 3 or more years ago You cannot be the first person to complete the challenge in 2023 Must have 1%+ progress in 5 or more games on your list prior to 2023 (See exception above for completionist accounts) You cannot be the trophy guide writer for any game on your list No more than 6 of your games can be Ultra Rare PSNProfiles rarity *Jack of All Trades is not considered* No game on your list is both a Romance game and platinumed in February Neither your 8, 9 or 10 can be a Fighting or Racing game Only one game on your list can qualify as a 10/10 from any source No more than 5 of your games released in 2023 No game on your list is both set in America (fully or partially) and platinumed in July You cannot platinum the games in your list in order 1-10 No more than 2 games on your list can be remakes, remasters or PS1/PS2/PSP games No more than 5 of your games can have the same genre/theme *Overachiever has an exception noted above* No more than 5 of your games are on PS3 No more than 5 of your games are on PS4 No more than 5 of your games are on PS5 None of your games can belong to the 4x, Business, Pinball or RTS genres None of your games can start with J, O, Q, X, Y or Z You cannot have a different version of a game you've already completed on a different list No more than 2 of your games can belong to the same series No more than 2 of your games can be auto-pops, full or partial No game on your list is both a Horror game and platinumed in October No more than 2 of your games are on Vita No more than 2 of your games are on VR Money Bags - 6 or more games on your list came out in 2023 Games on your list must have a release date listed in 2023, example: The counted release date must be for the version you put on your list Murica - Platinum a game set anywhere in the United States in July This can be subjective, but as long as you can detail in a sentence how the game is either entirely set in America or you at least play a chunk of it in America, it counts Timestamp of the platinum trophy must be within the month of July 2023, any amount of progress can be made beforehand OCD - Platinum all 10 games on your list in order The ten games on your list must have been platinumed in order 1-10 You can have non-challenge-related platinums and other list platinums earned in between them, but the 10 from your OCD list have to be in order 1-10 You can have any amount of progress on other games between the ten platinums, as long as the ten platinums are completed in order 1-10 Can only be earned on Platinum tier lists with all ten games completed Old School - 3 or more games on your list are remakes, remasters or PS1/PS2/PSP games Any remake or remaster of a previously released game counts This includes games remasters of games that didn't originate on Playstation like Star Wars Episode 1: Racer or Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Also includes retro game compilations like Atari Flashback Classics or single retro game re-releases like Arcade Game Series: Pac-Man or Arcade Game Series: Galaga The PS4 or PS5 version of any PS Classic game with a platinum trophy counts GOTY editions, Director's Cuts and games like that...don't count. The only exceptions would be if a game has a separate trophy list than the original release. One Trick Pony - 6 or more games on your list are from the same genre Genre means genre or theme, they are interchangeable Games often have several genres and themes listed, as long as 6 or more games on your list have the same genre or theme among them, it counts towards this badge The genres or themes must be listed on the games on PSNProfiles or IGDB, it cannot be subjective Overachiever - Complete Platinum tier on a second list in the same year This is awarded once for completing 2 Platinum tier lists in the same year This is not awarded for third or fourth etc. lists PS3 Master - Platinum 6 or more PS3 games on your list Any PS3 game counts, even if it's a remake or remaster of a previous gen game You can use either a real PS3 or streaming via Playstation Plus Premium If a game's trophy list is shared across multiple systems, you can count it as PS3 even if that's not the version you played For example, if a game shares a list across PS3, PS4 and Vita. Even if you platinumed it on PS4, you can count it as a PS3 game for this badge. However, you cannot simultaneously count the same game towards multiple [System] Master badges. Can't count towards all 3, gotta pick one PS4 Master - Platinum 6 or more PS4 games on your list Any PS4 game counts, even if it's a remake or remaster of a previous gen game If a game's trophy list is shared across multiple systems, you can count it as PS4 even if that's not the version you played For example, a game shares a list across PS3, PS4 and Vita. Even if you platinumed it on PS3, you can count it as a PS4 game for this badge. However, you cannot simultaneously count the same game towards multiple [System] Master badges. Can't count towards all 3, gotta pick one PS5 Master - Platinum 6 or more PS5 games on your list Any PS5 game counts, even if it's a remake or remaster of a previous gen game Rare Genre - Platinum a game in the 4x, Business, Pinball or RTS genres This goes hand in hand with the Platinum Every Genre Challenge The genres or themes must be listed on the games on PSNProfiles or IGDB, it cannot be subjective Rare Letter - Platinum a game starting with J,O,Q,X,Y or Z This goes hand in hand with the A-Z Platinum Club challenge All games that start with 'The' count as T games and do not count for this badge Repeat Offender - Platinum 2 different versions of the same game on two different lists in the same year The list with the second version must be Bronze tier or higher A good example of doing this would be platinuming the PS4 version on your first list, then re-platinuming or auto-popping the PS5 version on your second list Series Conqueror - 3 or more games on your list are from the same series Games being in the same series is determined by being listed together on the Playstation Series page here on PSNProfiles, it cannot be subjective Shameless - Auto-pop 3 or more games on your list Any auto-pop counts Partial auto-pop games count too, just point out that it's a partial autopop so I can check timestamps If you are adamantly opposed to auto-pops on principle you can do the following instead: 2 of your games must be platinumed in 5hrs or less and 1 other must be platinumed in 10hrs or less (either official time estimate or personal timestamps count) Spooky - Platinum a horror game in October Any game with the Horror theme counts The game must have the Horror theme listed on PSNProfiles or IGDB, it cannot be subjective Timestamp of the platinum trophy must be within the month of October 2023, any amount of progress can be made beforehand Vita Master - Platinum 3 or more Vita games on your list Any Vita game counts, even if it's a remake or remaster of a previous gen game If a game's trophy list is shared across multiple systems, you can count it as Vita even if that's not the version you played For example, a game shares a list across PS3, PS4 and Vita. Even if you platinumed it on PS3/4, you can count it as a Vita game for this badge. However, you cannot simultaneously count the same game towards multiple [System] Master badges. Can't count towards all 3, gotta pick one VR Master - Platinum 3 or more VR games on your list Any VR game counts, even if it's a remake or remaster of a previous gen game PSVR1 and PSVR2 games count Games must be dedicated VR games, not just regular games with optional VR support VR games are the exception to the rule that you cannot count the same game towards multiple [System] Master badges. A VR game can simultaneously count as both a VR game and a PS4/5 game.

Stedde Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I saw your post for 2022 and I really like the idea! I will defiantly sign up this year. Perfect challenge for me to help get to my goal of becoming Top 100 on PSNProfiles for my country! During my Christmas vacation I will use time to find a fun and great list! One question, do the games you choose need to be on 0% when you start? Or can I choose a game I have in my backlog that I have already started and earn some trophies on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have made any amount of progress you want to before 2023, but the time stamp on all platinums on your list must be in 2023. Good luck Got it! I like the extra dimension you have added with the badges. Makes me think twice about the games I will pick! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disaster500 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'll definitely give this a shot again, enjoyed completing the 2022 one. I'm working on Wolfenstein 2 atm but I'll probably have it finished before 2023 so I can't use it for my 10. Oh well. Some games I have in mind for the higher difficulties: Downwell, The End Is Nigh, Hollow Knight Silksong (hopefully). I don't know what my 10 will be, unless Silksong becomes a 10 somehow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man If you complete Mein Leben then save an easy trophy for last you could wait and pop Wolfenstein 2's platinum early January and count it for next year. Up to you. 58 minutes ago, Copanele said: I will join for 2023 event as well! The badge idea is super nice, too bad I can't sign up for several of them (PSVita, PS VR, Final Fantasy ) so...I'll play as before and see what I collect on the way. Now, for my list... it will be something like this. 1/10 - Lost Grimoires Stolen Kingdom 2/10 - Eternal Hope 3/10 - Tekken Tag Tournament 2 4/10 - Sega Mega Drive&Genesis Classics 5/10 - Judgment 6/10 - Street Fighter x Tekken 7/10 - Yakuza 5 8/10 - Demon Souls (JP Version) 9/10 - Mirror's Edge 10/10 - Dead or Alive 5 Of course, subject to change curious what badges I will get! At a quick glance looks like you'll for sure at least earn Mad Skillz because of Dead or Alive 5. As the host of the Ultra Rare Cleanup challenge you might be interested in going for the Hardcore badge. I understand Vita and VR, but how come you can't go for any Final Fantasy games?

MissShake Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm in this year too! I'll look into making a list later, but I'm super into the badges 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructor-8 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) I'll be up for this one again. I'll come back later to this post when I get around to it. I'm still hoping to finish the last one. Edited December 1, 2022 by Destructor-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to you. I've done every trophy besides Mein Leben so I can't do that. Besides, that's kind of cheating imo to save a 10/10, you can easily cheese the FIRST! badge by doing that. Maybe you should only be able to get the FIRST! badge if everything has been started in 2023, to prevent cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FIRST! badge isn't technically even included in getting all badges (see badge rules above) so it's ok. There is also a badge for completing an entire list of games you hadn't touched until 2023 (Fresh Starter) so I'll just let those two be separate. Good luck to you on Mein Leben! If you need tips there's several people in the PDC 2022 challenge that did it that I'm sure could give great tips. That one's too hard for me so I've never tried it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the host of the Ultra Rare Cleanup challenge you might be interested in going for the Hardcore badge. I understand Vita and VR, but how come you can't go for any Final Fantasy games? I initially wanted to say that there's no Final Fantasy game that I would play...but then I remember Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is an option that game is Nioh with Limp Bizkit soundtrack so I'd definitely give it a go? Now, thanks to the meddling of a certain @MissShake...I decided to revamp my list a bit Writing it here so I won't forget it: 1/10 - Xblaze Lost Memories 2/10 - Phantom Breaker Omnia 3/10 - Tekken Tag Tournament 2 4/10 - Dead or Alive 6 5/10 - Soul Calibur 6 6/10 - Street Fighter x Tekken 7/10 - Yakuza 5 8/10 - Demon Souls (JP Version) 9/10 - Street Fighter 4 10/10 - Dead or Alive 5 It's "unfortunate" that I've been this busy with fighting games the past year, but for 2023 I would kinda want to aim for as many FGs as possible for this particular list (or at least fighting game related in the case of the 1/10 - Xblaze is a VN spinoff for Blazblue series). Like that, I will also clean up any backloggery that I stacked until now. Sadly I found nothing fg related for 7/10 and 8/10...will have to search more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentPenguin08 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 This is great, I'm excited to join this time! I'll post my list when I completely finalize it. For now, I have a question @Rebourne07, how did you get the "Game List" section on your profile? Having this would be such a helpful feature! 2 hours ago, Rebourne07 said: Current Progress Hide contents 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that list it looks like you'd also earn the One Trick Pony badge which I imagine will end up being one of the rarest badges in the end. Also, if any of those has been sitting on your backlog for 3+ years you'll earn the Finally! badge. Good luck! You must be really good at fighting games lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanolt Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) I'll join this even if I know I won't ever complete the event, there's a few games I'll try next year and the coincidence is most of them have different numbers, so let's see: 1/10 - Life is Strange: True Colors 2/10 - Lake 3/10 - The Sims 4 4/10 - God of War: Ragnarok 5/10 - Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory 6/10 - Gran Turismo 7 7/10 - Final Fantasy X 8/10 - Shadow of the Colossus (Classic) 9/10 - Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout 10/10 - Wipeout: Omega Collection That's the list, a mix of games I've been playing and some I'll 100% play next year since I want to focus in fewer games/more quality. Subject to change. BADGES: Murica (Life is Strange: True Colors) ✅ Date Earned: 18/07/2023 Above and Beyond (Gran Turismo 7, Final Fantasy X) Date Earned: - - - Brownie Points (Final Fantasy X) Date Earned: - - - - Fresh Starter (Every game except for The Sims 4 and Fall Guys) Date Earned: - - - - Mad Skillz (Gran Turismo 7) Date Earned: - - - - Masochist (Fall Guys) Date Earned: - - - - PS4 Master (Every game except Shadow of the Colossus) Date Earned: - - - - Like I said I'll do my best but if I finish with half of the list I'll be proud?

Welcome to the challenge! And yeah, good catch, FFxDQ counts for the challenge too since its a true FF, even if it's JP only. 5 minutes ago, AgentPenguin08 said: This is great, I'm excited to join this time!
