10/10 250-350hrs O_O!!!

Total time according to my hours played across both versions is 115 hours and to be honest I personally wouldn't rate it a 10. It's more likely a 7 due to a PvE mode called Havoc that you can't boost and need a good team of 4 for. Everything else can be boosted and it's actually a very fun game. Playing 1000 matches is what makes it so grindy. If you were to legit play 1000 it would be 250-300 hours but there is a faster way that involves wiping in the Havoc mode on wave 1 so you can get a match played every 3 minutes or so. Still not that quick but better than the alternative lol. Servers shut in March so if anyone is interested in it you gotta be quick.

Hello everyone,

 

I have wanted to make two changes to my current 1-10 list and to one of the badges recently.

 

As for today, I have earned the platinum trophy of Chaos;Child (NA Version) on PS4 for my 1/10:

 

Chaos;Child (NA Version) (PS4)

Super-Perfectionst (54.73%) (Common)

 

I did a quick run through to get a nice platinum trophy today but I have played the full experience twice before, so I have experienced the game to its fullest.

Overall, Chaos;Child for PS4 is an exciting visual novel with many unexpected twists for a first full playthrough.
 
I still do recommend the game as it is a great visual novel!
 
Another change to my list is that I looked over the 'Ark Survival Evolved' guide that I used for my list and I found that the max hours stated in the guide is 250 hours for the platinum trophy, so I am still able to obtain the 'Above and Beyond' badge.

 

Links are below in list.

 

Here is my current 1-10 list:

1/10 – Chaos;Child (PS4) (NA Version) - Role-playing (RPG) (DONE) (https://metagame.guide/chaoschild-ps4/trophy-guide)

2/10 – Pantsu Hunter: Back to the 90s (EU Version) (PS4) - Visual Novel

4/10 – Control (PS4) - Science fiction (DONE)

8/10 – Ark Survival Evolved (PS4) - Indie (DONE) (https://www.psthc.fr/unjeu/ark-survival-evolved-ps4/guide-trophees.htm)

9/10 – Celeste (PS4) - Platform

10/10 – SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics (PS4) - Pinball

- Rare Genre - Platinum a game in the 4x, Business, Pinball or RTS genres - SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics (PS4) is in the Pinball genre

 

Also, I am 5/10 games completed for my first 1-10 platinum challenge list which great as it has been fun playing these games and collecting these platinums.

Good luck everyone!

Next game completed for this ever increasingly difficult challenge. The hard way is to figure out which games to play to unlock the most badges I've been changing my list every day or two. Well done @Rebourne07 it's so more exciting than last year. I am very far away from my inital list my current strategy is to complete the remainder of 4 games within February to have a chance to get the Love Bird badge with a game from my 2nd list. And i thought my initial plan was ambitious

 

1/10 Toem (PSNP) on 1st Jan

2/10 Bee Simulator (PST.org) on 1st Jan

3/10 Defense Grid 2 (PSNP) on 1st Jan

4/10 Jumanji (PSTHC.fr) on 1st Jan

5/10 Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag (PSNP) on 1st Jan

6/10 Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition (PST) on 14th Jan

[KingOfGold]

Time for some list update, with the PS+ game of the month : Star Wars Fallen Order

 

 

Review:

 

A pretty nice game surprisingly inspired by Sekiro. I played on hard difficulty and this turned out to be a real challenge at some point (even if you can collect some stuffs to improve your skills. The gameplay is quite fun if you spend time to understand the patterns, but I think it's not as smooth as we could expect sometimes. Also I didn't have so much fun to collect the 100% collectibles, the map system is so bad, and you can't teleport so you have to walk across the whole map despite shortcuts. The story is not stunning it's pretty simple but overall I really enjoyed the game. It's definitely a typical ps+ game game to make you buy the sequel Jedi Survivors to be released in march.

• Jack of All Trades - All 10 games on your list are from a different genre (I would need to withdraw Crisis Core, but this would impact the Old School Badge and Brownie Points:/ Another idea would be to put Star Wars aside...

 

The way you have, I guess you can keep your entire list to get this badge. If you count Crisis Core as an RPG, a plague tale as drama and star wars as science fiction, they wouldn't conflict each other, allowing you to get the badge.

Oh ok that would be great, because I thought it wouldn't count if genres were overlapping... But this would make this badge significantly easier...

If that was the case, this wouldn't be your only problem, considering you have 6 adventure games for One trick pony badge.

 

In the badge carification, this is what i says:

 

Quote

 

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

True, but it wouldn't be a problem either if only the genres/themes you pick for this specific badge are overlapping.

 

Let's just see what @Rebourne07 thinks about it !

Oh ok, so since Dark Souls 2 and final fantasy have the RPG genres, my list would also be eligible, thank you very much ! But I was a bit disturbed by the as long as "the genres are not overlapping". So it's fine now  

[Glorious Fury]

Been meaning to do a list for a while as I enjoyed doing this event so much last year. Thanks again for hosting @Rebourne07

 

My list is rather tentative (I mean I have Demon's Souls in there, I haven't bought a PS5 yet ?) so I’ll leave the badges for now as highly probable changes will be made. Finished my 3/10 with Dusk Diver 2 which was quite enjoyable.

 

1/10 – Ark: Survival Evolved

2/10 – Ratchet and Clank

3/10 – Dusk Diver 2 

4/10 – Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion

5/10 – My Hero One’s Justice 2

6/10 – Resident Evil Village

7/10 – Demon’s Souls

8/10 – Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled

9/10 – Hollow Knight

10/10 – The Evil Within

Edited January 14, 2023 by Glorious Fury

[Rebourne07]

To comment on Jack of All Trades, I originally tended it to be a bit deeper than it is but it caused too much confusion so it settled into what it is now. It’s kinda too easy but oh well. You can have overlapping genres, just have 10 different genres among the 10 games as shown in the clarifications and you’ll get it.

[MikkelEhlers]

I'd like to join in on the challenge. I already have some completed games here in January for the list, so I guess it feels kinda like a head start. 

 

I know myself well enough that if I put in too many planned games ahead I will not get it done rather than if I add them maybe one or two games ahead of current progress. So here's my list:

 

1/10 - N/A

2/10 - N/A

3/10 - NieR: Automata (PSNP)  on January 2nd

4/10 - Tearaway Unfolded (PSNP)

5/10 - N/A

6/10 - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Reunion (PowerPyx)  on January 10th

7/10 - Demon's Souls (PSNP)

8/10 - N/A

9/10 - N/A

10/10 - N/A

 

I will update it as I go along, finding new games to add, and updating when completing a game as well. Tearaway I've completed the story so I just need to run around a pick up the collectables but damn there are many of them.

Demon's Souls I bought on sale, and have been waiting so long to play this. I've played all the other Souls games more times than I can think of, so it'll be fun to go even further back.

[maisie666]

I d like to take part this year.  All games i own already, so hopefully keep chewing away at the backlog.

 

1/10   Oh Sir  PSNP

2/10   Goat Simulator  PST

3/10   Songbringer  PST

4/10   Super Time Force Ultra  PSNP

10/10 Trackmania Turbo (https://platprices.com/game/14513-trackmania-turbo) Genre: Racing

 

Every game is on PS4 ->  PS4 Master

Slay the Spire needs 100 hours ->   Above and Beyond 

Bloodborne guide has a silver badge ->   Award Winner 

Minecraft, Darksiders II, Rayman Legends and Trackmania Turbo are all games that I started more than 3 years ago ->  Finally! 

As they all have different genres ->  Jack of All Trades

Burly Men at Sea, Minecraft, Heavenly Bodies, Darksiders II, Rayman Legends, Bloodborne, Slay the Spire and The Witness all have an Adventure genre ->  One Trick Pony (I don't know if I can count genres from games which I chose from a different platform, but still it would make 6 of them)

Minecraft, Darksiders II and Slay the Spire have exactly or more than 4 genres ->   Rare Genre

As Trackmania Turbo is a 10/10 racing game ->  Mad Skillz

 

And that should be everything.

The Rare Genre Badge is awarded for completing one game that has one of the listed genres. In your case Minecraft belongs to the 4x genre. That means if you complete Minecraft and 6 other games you'll achieve this badge

It's the only french trophy hunter community "alive" since something like 2010, so yes i hope it look legit at least ? ..

 

1/10 

2/10 

3/10 : Chained Echoes ✅

4/10 

5/10 

6/10 

7/10 

8/10 : Soulstice ✅ (for those who wondering it's more close to 6/10 - 50 hours)

9/10 

10/10 

 

That all for me, with Rise, FEE and P4G coming in a few days i'm not sure to come back anytime soon.. 

[MikkelEhlers]

First update for my list, I completed a game! Tearaway Unfolded. 4/10 is probably pretty accurate in my opinion. The whole game is very easy but some of those last trophies were you have to be deathless you have to be at least somewhat careful. It's an easy play however I do understand now why it's almost an UR (6,07%)

 

I haven't added anything else to the list. I acquired Yoku's Island Express because I've been looking at it for a long time, and it was on a great sale, however all sites I can find with ratings of it give it a 3/10, which is unfortunate since that is already filled. Anyway here's my list:

 

1/10 - N/A

2/10 - N/A

3/10 - NieR: Automata (PSNP)  on January 2nd

4/10 - Tearaway Unfolded (PSNP)  on January 15th

5/10 - N/A

6/10 - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Reunion (PowerPyx)  on January 10th

7/10 - Demon's Souls (PSNP)

8/10 - N/A

9/10 - N/A

10/10 - N/A

 

Officially I'm now ready to get my butt kicked in Demon's Souls

[Inuty]

New update from my side:

 

1 - Doki Doki Literature Club (PSNP)

2 - Digimon Survive (PlatPrices) 

3 - Axiom Verge 2 (Meta Game) 

4 - Heavy Rain (Meta Game) 

5 - Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory (Meta game)

6 - Final fantasy 7 Remake (Plat Prices)

7 - Batman Arkham City (PSNP)

8 - Yurukill: The Calumination Games (PSNP)

9 - Trackmania Turbo (Meta Game)

10 - Skul: The Hero Slayer (Meta Game) 

 

Axiome Verge 2:

With this I earned my PS+ game badge for the event. I had already before the ps+ announcement some interest in the game because I like metroidvania. It was really nice for a game, which was done by one developer but I played way better metroidvania. I wouldn’t say that this is a must play game but I have my fun with it.

 

Digimon Survive:

In my opinion a really good visual novel with turn based strategy involved. I really like it that they tried something completely different this time with the Digimon franchise and it was the first time I was shocked that some characters can actually die in this franchise. The characters were drawn really nicely and if you like VN and Digimon you should really give it a try!

 

Other then that I working on multiple games simultaneously and doing some good progress in Trackmania as well. Half of the red series medals are earned and so far I don’t see a platinum breaker for me

Best of luck with track 180 when you get to it. I'm sure you've already experienced the trials of the valley car and track 180 really pushes your skills with it. I spent around 13 hours to get gold on it.

Thanks, I heared about it. I guess i need to see when the times come up! I only play the game 1 day a week so i think i need some more time to reach it.
