Platinum Difficulty Challenge 2023

Finished God of War Ascension just in time before my subscription ends. One down, nine to go.

 

I also managed to figure out the 2/10 and 6/10 games - still considering the 1/10 as I'd like it not to be some throwaway shovelware but rather something enjoyable, like a solid visual novel. And since I'm basing this entirely off of PSNP ratings and the site is missing quite a few guides for the niche titles, it's a bit hard to find the right fit.

 

1/10 -

2/10 - Maneater

3/10 - House of the Dead Remake

4/10 - God of War Ascension

5/10 - Resident Evil 0

6/10 - Knack

7/10 - Kena Bridge of Spirits

8/10 - Slay the Spire

9/10 - Hollow Knight

10/10 - Super Meat Boy

Do Snakeybus for your 1/10. It's awesome!

Time for some list update, with the game I had to play on that list : Last of Us Remake, Part I.
 
A game I had never played since I have always been scared of zombies and that kind of game. But wow what a mistake I haven't played it before. This game is really incredible and at another level ! Everything is perfect . The gameplay might be a bit rigid, but the rest is so insanely good. And it's not scary at all (despite few tense moments). The story is probably one of the best in a video game and the graphics are probably the best to date on the PS5. I will definitely have to play Part 2...

:platinum: 2/10 - Last of Us Remake 1 (01/08/23)

@Rebourne07 you have The Witness in your recommended 9/10 games in the OP, which links to the PST guide. I assume I'm good to use it since the OP of the guide says 9/10, even if the voting thread comes out to a 7.7 average? 

I plan on doing The Witness as one of my 9/10 games as well.

Yep! The Witness definitely counts as a 9. My wife did it as her 9 last year and I’ll tell you that last challenge is still hard as heck even with glitches.

@Rebourne07 I need a specific ruling for a site to use for guides.

 

So, for my 3/10 selection (The Flower Shop: Summer in Fairbrook), the linked guide is from PS3imports. I saw the guide before I made my list and it looked okay. Now, going back to it again today, I found out that that site shut down and all of it's guides were transferred to PSNTL, but they're on their forums (Linked guide). What would be the correct thing to do in that case? I think they could still count as it's a really specific context to the "no forums guide" rule.

Hey Everyone,

 

I have three updates to my 1-10 list: 

- the first one is that I have changed my 5/10 to NieR Automata on PS4, this doesn't affect my badge list from my first post. (The guide I will be using is posted in this post)

- I have added the genres to each game to make it easier to showcase how I will earn the 'Jack of All Trades' Badge

 

Finally, I have obtained the platinum trophy for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (NA Version) on PS4!

 

1L82443e.png

A New Hope (23.24%)

 

Overall, I enjoyed my second trip through this game and this experience has made me more excited to play the sequel, which comes out very soon!

 

This means I have obtained my first badge being the 'Carpe Diem' badge as it is one of the Playstation Plus Essential games for this month.

I’m late signing up, hope that’s ok! I’ve come up with a list to submit but some of these entries may change over time. I have a tendency to pick up games on a whim as I feel like it, rather than commit to a long list ahead of time. ?

 

  1. Donut County (PSNP)
  2. Chicory: A Colorful Tale (PST)
  3. Axiom Verge 2 (PST)
  4. Doom Eternal (PSNP)
  5. Hotwheels Unleashed (PST) or Superhot (Platget) 
  6. Tennis World Tour 2 (PSNP) or Windbound (PSNP)
  7. Valfaris (PSNP)
  8. Dead Space 2 (PST)
  9. The Evil Within or Shadow Warrior (PSNP)
  10. Wolfenstein 2 or Hollow Knight

@Rebourne07 Celeste down. No new badges but moving up to gold tier rank. Just my 10/10 left to go. Wuppo. And once I platinum that I’ll be adding five more badges. Six if I end up being first. But I think @BatMandalorian7 has me beat there. Either way, enjoying the challenge and it’s keeping motivated to platinum games. I barely played any games last years and lost interest in most rather quickly.

Just a quick remark regarding the "First Badge", if you managed to make your list in 2022 (and wait to plat them in 2023), it's theoretically, quite easy to get the "First Badge". It seems it's what @temp did (and he did that very well, congrats to him!)

 

@Rebourne07But shouldn't we award another "First Badge" with a list of games that haven't been started in 2023 (or at least 6 of them like the fresh starter badge), this would definitely make the trophy hunting race a bit fairer ;). I mean a lot of people here didn't stand a chance against people who had all their games ready to be plat... ^^

Kinda cheesed out on my 4/10 here (as the saying goes, "Don't hate the player, hate the game") as I want to try and get as many lists done as possible so......my 4/10 is done ? I'm also 1 trophy away from the Spider-Man MM plat so should have that completed within the next 24 hours ?

Lol, it does look amusing. I'll go with that for now, thanks.

 

-----

House of the Dead done. Pretty entertaining to revisit a game from my childhood with a new coat of paint. Not all of the design changes are necessarily improvements but it's still snappy fun.

 

Next up, Kena.

 

1/10 - Snakeybus

2/10 - Maneater

3/10 - House of the Dead Remake

4/10 - God of War Ascension

5/10 - Resident Evil 0

6/10 - Knack

7/10 - Kena Bridge of Spirits

Thanx! In my opinion end any list not easy at all (callus on my thumb finger confirm it, hello olliolli), but early start gave me some advantage for sure. If i had less work in december i end list 01.01.

 

Mashing up "Fresh starter" and "First!" don't make race fairer cause u can make 20 hrs list and complete it in 1 day (auto-pop 10s, 2 hrs 8s etc). Rather It looks like competition who make shorter list. Don't get me wrong I like goals like this, because it's not just gaming but thinking and preparing a lot too, but nevertheless it has nothing to do with fairness.
