Anyway, anyone have some tips for romance games for the badge? Cheap and short if possible, hate playing two games at once. 

If you don't mind visual novels, I recommend The Language of Love and Blackberry Honey, two visual novels from Ebi-Hime which I platted for Valentine's Day. If you enable all the options and skip text, it'll only take four minutes for each.

@Umdytr Congratulations on Bronze tier! I can't tell from your list what badges you've earned so if you are interested in being credited with badges please look over the badges on the main post and let me know which ones your list qualifies for.

It's been a little while since my last update - but that's just because I haven't had any new platinums since then! 

I ended up changing quite a few games on my list. Planet Coaster is the main one - have been having fun with it! Platinum isn't so bad and it's an UR which is a bonus.

For some reason I had a craving to play a Souls game and remembered BB was on my list. Managed to get it done! Out of my 4 FS plats I'm not sure where I rank it, it might be my least favourite or possibly second depending how I feel ?. Anyway Nearly half done the list now and a few of them should be pretty fast from here. 

 

️ 1/10 - Life is Strange (25/1/23)

️ 2/10 - Coffee Talk (1/1/23)

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

 4/10 - God of War Ragnarok 

 5/10 - Planet Coaster 0% --> 57%

 6/10 - Yakuza Kiwami 2 

 7/10 - Yakuza Kiwami 71% --> 72%

 8/10 - Bloodborne (17/02/23)

 9/10 - The Evil Within

 10/10 - Hollow Knight

Sly 3 in the books! I’m glad I finally got to play this game thanks to PS Plus Classics. PS2 era platformers are my bread and butter so I had a lot of fun with this one. I think there might have a been a few too many segments that change up gameplay to some vehicle sections or something, but that‘a alright. 
 

Next up I’m going from one stealth game to another, Assassins Creed 3 Remastered. I’m slowly but surely trying to platinum every AC game, so figured I would continue that quest with this challenge. Fun fact this was my first PS3 game I owned 

 

 1/10 - Toem

 2/10 - Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One

 3/10 - Dark Cloud

 4/10 - Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves

 5/10 - Assassin's Creed III Remastered

 6/10 - ICO

 7/10 - Devil May Cry 3

 8/10 - Cuphead

 9/10 - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

 10/10 - Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time

 

 

Badges that apply to me/that I'm going for:

 

•  Finally! - Platinum a game that you started 3 or more years ago (ICO)
•  Fresh Starter - 6 or more games on your list had 0% progress prior to 2023
•  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

 Jack of All Trades - (From 1 to 10) RPG, Thriller, Sports, Arcade, Platform, Tactical, Simulator, Shooter, Puzzle, Indie

 Love Bird - Catherine: Full Body

 OCD - Went full OCD and made sure there were no other games in between my list lol

 One Trick Pony - (Adventure) Ark, Beyond, Lovers, Puppeteer, Catherine, I Am Bread

 PS4 Master - Ark, Fifa, Lovers, Superhot, Dead Nation, I Am Bread

 

 

9 is probably the accurate rating for I Am Bread but it doesn't feel like a cheap 10 either

 7/10 - Devil May Cry 3

Where did you find the 7/10 for Devil May Cry, cause I want to have it on my list too, but I've searched everywhere and can't find a guide with that score

@Rebourne07, does Devil May Cry 3 count as a 7/10 if the average score of the poll is 7.47?

Rule #13 states you can pick either 7 or 8 in this case since the average is 7.4

On the very first post of this thread, @Rebourne07 put it under the “Resources” tab in the 7/10 section. You can follow its link to see exactly what website the rating came from

Huge congratulations to @Salamandxrs on completing the challenge! Very impressive work! Especially getting so many badges and actually sticking to OCD! Great job!!

 

How'd you like Hollow Knight? I'm going through it myself right now. I plan to use the glitch as soon as I can, but I'm surprised to see how far you have to make it before you can use it lol. Did you use the glitch? If so, how long did you play before and after? Thanks!

 

Hey ! Some quick update of HK, I made all the game without the glitch so far. I beat also the 4 first pantheons, only the last one remains and the plat game will be over. In my opinion, if you already plat some demon's soul game, or crash, or even return games, which are sometimes nervous. You wouldn't have too much trouble to fight the different bosses. 

 

The hardest (but also very satisfying) parts would be the white palace (hardcore platform part), and the pantheons (also the last trial which is a long arena fight). I think I can make the last pantheon without the glitch (actually there are 51 bosses but only 5/6 of them are really tricky). But if you learn the pattern it's far from being impossible. 

 

My advice would be to play without the glitch as long as you have fun, and then move to the glitch if necessary. But it's probably one video game achievement I am the most proud of so far  This game is dope, there are so much details I played almost 60h on it and I never felt so bored (despite few hours of try hard on few bosses...)

Devil May Cry 5 completed as my 10/10!

 

1-

2- Maneater (PSNP)

3-

4- Deathloop (PSNP)

5- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PSNP)

6- Ghostrunner (PSNP)

7- Worms W.M.D (PSNP)

8-

9-

10- Devil May Cry 5 (playstationtrophies)

 

Yeah this was very difficult. I don't think it's a 10/10 but I'm still very proud of this. A solid 9/10 imo. Next will probably be Horizon Forbidden West, iirc it's a 4 on PSNP so I'll have to find another guide or rearrange some numbers if I want to fit it in.

[Yuber6969]

@Rebourne07 Is this guide okay as a rating source?

[willythom88]

Ok I'm back, and continuing the OCD badge with my number 4, New Super Lucky's Tale!  4/10  Really solid platformer, but the last few trophies felt very unnecessary.  Onto number 5, with who knows what!  Also, @Rebourne07 can I get a badge, as New Super Lucky's Tale is brand new to me.

 

Beginners

toem - 1/10

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart - 2/10 

Cat quest 2 - 3/10

 

Oh ok, here we go!

New Super Lucky's Tale - 4/10

[stuthesheep]

Adding another one to the *DONE* list.

 

 1. 

 2.

 3. Assassin's Creed: Rogue  18/2

 4. 

 5. Assassin's Creed: Revelations  6/1

 6.

 7.

 8. Dragon Age: Inquisition   1/1

 9.

10.

 

 

Rogue ticked off, nothing particularly taxing about it, a slightly hefty collectables slog, a few semi-frustrating full sync objectives and a couple of tough legendary naval battles apart of course. Pretty much what you'd expect from a 3. Enjoyable way to spend a couple of weeks though.

 

Due to some actual forward planning for this I've now also moved Revelations from spot #4 to #5, using the rating on playstationtrophies.org - hopefully the link should work, although I've most likely botched it somehow. 

[Seydie_]

Another one done! A nice action adventure RPG with some farming in it.

 

 1/10 - The Walking Dead

 2/10 - The Outbound Ghost  9 Januari 2023

 3/10 - Psychonauts

 4/10 - Kitaria Fables  19 Februari 2023

 5/10 - Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk

 6/10 - Little Town Hero

 7/10 - Final Fantasy X

 8/10 - Shadow of the Colossus

 9/10 - Mirror's Edge

 10/10 - Star Ocean: The Last Hope International

[Edusbr]

Well, i already have 3 games done and a good idea of what type of list i'll be doing, so i think it's time to do my first update. Here it is:

 

1/10 - The Walking Dead 

2/10 - Resistance: Burning Skies 

3/10 - Metro: Last Light 

4/10 - The Sims 3: Pets

5/10 - Street Fighter X Tekken

6/10 - Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines

7/10 - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

8/10 - Prototype

9/10 - Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus

10/10 - Injustice: Gods Among Us

 

My goal here is to achieve OCD and Hardcore, and hopefully Masochist as well. I'm also thinking of leaving some tips here for each game on what to expect, just in case someone else decides to go for one of those too, nothing fancy though.

Metro: Last Light (3.94%) Not a hard game, but it can be quite glitchy (i lost my trophy list when the game crashed and had to redo almost the whole game again), and although it never happened to me, there's also reports of many trophies not unlocking when they should, so i believe this is the reason for the low percentage. The game also have a ton of missable stuff that will require you to play with a walkthrough from start to finish

(i had 7 tabs opened at some point).If these tips get boring, please let me know and i'll stop writing them.

 10/10 - Star Ocean: The Last Hope International

 

If I ever go insane and decide to join this event, this would probably be the game I'd pick for 10/10.The only other option would be Binding of Isaac and I already did that on my last account, didn't like it even with the quicksave exploit, and hell no way am I doing the DLC for that game due to the horrible horrible challenges there. I'd rather grind out battle trophies and do super-hard difficulty runs(I've got started on a Proud Mode Run of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and will probably plat Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, so I can handle the pain of dying in one hit from superbosses) than try to do a dungeon run hitless. ?

 

Then again, would Mugen Souls count for 10/10? Really loved Mugen Souls Z when I had a PS3(and actually got the good ending because I did the insane requirements needed to unlock it including fighting a superboss in the Mugen Field) but I never played the original. I'd gladly join the Let's Play thread for that.

Depends if you can find a guide with 10/10 rating. I checked pst.org and trophies.de but found only 8 or 9 ratings

[Together_Comic]

 

 

Tetris Effect is done for the 9/10.  What a long time coming on this one.  Great game.

 

Persona 3 should be finished by this weekend.  Just the final boss, the end game grind, and a quick speedrun through NG+

 

Dark Souls 3 is just the remaining rings, 1 gesture, 1 pyromancy, and finishing the 2 NG+ playthroughs.  The covenant grinding is done, and PRAISE THE SUN FOR THAT!

 

Spellspire is weird.  Its A.) Long and B.) Harder than I thought a 1/10 game would be.  I might have to send those friends over at Plat Prices a friendly, but strongly worded letter about that :P.

I'll chip away at this one should be done in a couple weeks maybe.
