Go for it. It's open all year. Just know that your list needs a game of EACH difficulty rating. I'm sure those in your post are just some games you're looking at though.

Nice one! What would be a good Souls platinum after Bloodborne? I'm a bit intimidated by the amount of Souls games there are and don't know which one to play next. Will definitely play Elden Ring when I get a chance but not sure what else. 

Personally i would go for Sekiro next if i were you. Its quite different from the others in terms of the game play mechanics, However like Bloodborne it has a much faster combat style compared to the Demon's and Dark Souls games but the whole fighting mechanics are quite different so i feel its best to get that one done and then move on to the other Souls games which all have a much more similar fighting mechanic to each other compared to Sekiro.  I have not Played Elden Ring yet so i cant comment on that but i am also excited to play it and i have it in one of my planned lists for this year as well. 

 

 

Very nearly finishd my 6/10 game (I am doing them in order so that i can grab the OCD badge) which will be completed tonight when i get on and so will then be starting my 7/10 game which is supposed to be about 10 hours so will hopefully will be able to enter the leaderboards sometime over this weekend.

 

 

@Rebourne07 Another Badge Idea for next year -    Joker - 6 or more games have the Comedy Theme in one list.

Might be putting Wuppo aside for the time being and either go for a different 10/10 or work on a different list. No problem with the difficulty, in fact, I like the challenge but I just completed a Sub 25 minute Boss Run and because the game for some reasons crashes after every boss run, it didn’t sync with the leaderboards and the trophy didn’t pop. Now that is annoying.

 

Edit: Trophy popped after a another Boss Run.

I think you cant change the games any longer if you are on the leaderboards. But you can work on a different list if i understood the concept of the event correctly

Either way, I’ll most likely just start a new a list, just can’t earn badges on it until I platinum either that list or my current one.

I thought i read it at least but cant find it anymore, maybe it was just a rule i imagin myself. I think @Rebourne07 can clear this up

[Holy_Nolly]

Nevermind. Just tried another boss run for the other trophy I need and upon failing that, the trophy for the sub 25 minute run popped. Odd but I’ll take it. I guess it managed to sync to leaderboard then. Anyway, one trophy to go. Still going to be a challenge and might work on a second list in between so I don’t get too frustrated.

I thought that you cant change a game that has been accepted on to the Leaderboard but you can swap out ones you are still working on. So my thinking is that once you are on the Bronze Leaderboard then those 7 games are locked in but the remaing games are not, Or if your List has made it to the Gold Leaderboard then those 9 games are locked in but your remaining game is not committed until its been completed.

That would make sense to me as once you have a Platinum and thats on the Leaderboard then it should really be commited to that list but you may need to swap out a game not yet completed if for some reason a Trophy glitched on you and the Platinum became unobtainable. If that happened on your first list and you were unable to swap it out then you would not be able to complete any more lists for the whole challenge as you can only submit an second list once the first has reached Platinum level.  Perhaps @Rebourne07 can confirm for us just in case.

[Rebourne07]

Sup guys, just to clarify you can swap any uncompleted game anytime even if you’re on the leaderboards. If you wanna swap out a completed game that’d be ok too…but since it’d affect badges you’d have to really spell out for me exactly what the changes would entail so that it’s not annoying for me to figure it all out myself lol

Thanks for clarification, something new learned for me them as well

 

@DazzaFett then you are right and i mixed it up, but make sense you are not able to swap completed games anymore

Platinum #256: Ape Escape

This game was alright. I had never played it before, though I remember it being a big deal when it originally came out. The controls were janky, but the gameplay was unique and fun. Story was typical PS1 cheese. My 7 year old daughter really liked watching me play it. I love PSPlus Premium's rewind feature; it makes games like this way more fun and accessible. Only took about 7hrs so definitely the shortest game on my list.

With the announcement of Life is Strange coming to PS Exta I'm going to change out Oxenfree for it.

Also changing Civ 6 for FF7 Remake as Civ 6 is more a game I like to relax with instead of rush for trophies!

 

On another note, haven't got another plat just yet but made some good progess with Kiwami. Managed to do most the Climax battles and might get them done today or tomorrow.

Not looking forward to the car chase on legendary, the one on Yakuza 0 was bad enough. Anyway, here is the updated list. I will work out badges later on. 

                                                                                                                    

1/10 - Life is Strange

 2/10 - Coffee Talk (1/1/23)

 3/10 - Detroit: Become Human (4/1/23)

 4/10 - A Plague Tale: Requiem

 5/10 - Final Fantasy VII Remake

 6/10 - Yakuza Kiwami 2 

 7/10 - Yakuza Kiwami 25% --> 50%

 8/10 - Bloodborne

 9/10 - The Evil Within

 10/10 - Hollow Knight

Ghostrunner completed as my 6/10. Great game, was hard at times, I think I agree with the 6/10 rating if you don't use assist mode, which is what I did. With assist mode you can go from dying in 1 hit to dying in 2 hits, and slow the entire game down like you're speedhacking or something. I imagine that makes it a lot easier so you can use it to cheese a 6 or 7 if you want to.

 

1-

2-

3-

4- Deathloop

5- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

6- Ghostrunner

7-

8-

9-

10-

 

Worms WMD still only needs the online trophies to do which will be 7. Besides that I'm thinking of playing Maneater and Shadow Warrior 3 which off the top of my head I think are 2 and 3 respectively. Hollow Knight: Silksong will 99% be on my list when it comes out (hopefully 10).

 

I'm not sure what to do for 1. It's the difficulty I care the least about and have the least fun playing. I'm thinking of TOEM, but idk. Maybe I'll look through and see if there's a game I can put for 1 which is more my style.
