The Ultra Rare Cleanup 2023 [CLOSED]

[postofficebuddy]

Finally have something to update. Dragon Ball FighterZ complete. A true fighting game masterpiece. Arc System Works were hitting on all cylinders when they made this. Although I will say the story mode is extremely cringe even by anime standards. Unfortunately I didn’t finish Xrd before it left the most wanted list so I’m going to replace it with a pretty cool hack and slash I played recently, Malicious Fallen. Also going to replace Vanquish since I’m quickly approaching plat #250 and I plan to make it RDR2. 
 

Tier 2 

 

1. Dragon Ball FighterZ (PS4, 2.99%) - 100%

2. Braid (PS3, 2.41%) - 89% 

3. Secret Ponchos (PS4, 0.16%) - 0% 

4. Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4, 2.37%) - 47% 

5. Malicious Fallen (PS4, 1.69%) - 42%

[Joe Dubz]

Hi everyone, long time no see!! I've spent the last 3.5 months working my way through the extremely challenging game known as BADLAND and am very proud to say I'm now one of the owners of this incredibly rare platinum ? And wow, what a journey that was!

 

From my humble beginnings of working my way through SP easily enough, then reaching co-op and thinking to myself, "WTF have I gotten myself into?!"... It's been quite the adventure, I'll say that much! It took me roughly 90 hours to polish off the SP stuff, then almost twice as long to do the co-op end of the spectrum. Just to give you an idea of the difficulty increase between the 2! That and sadly the only option is local co-op, which in my case meant finding someone to team up with via shareplay. 

 

You can actually do a ton of the co-op missions by yourself... If you're able to use 2 controllers to do so! My setup was using R1 and the right stick for player one with my right hand, AKA my lead clone, then L1 and the left stick for p2 with my left hand. It starts off simple enough; there are 300 missions that need completed for each mode and most of them are fairly doable solo on co-op. Then you get to the real meat of the challenge, as co-op introduces a different set of missions known as "No One Dies"! This is really quite tricky to do, whether you're trying to pull this off solo, which I think kind of speaks for itself, or you decide to tackle it over shareplay. Since shareplay brings crazy lag spikes that p2 has to deal with, making small precise maneuvers that much harder to pull off! In a game like this that requires a large amount of precision over extended periods, it really adds an incredible challenge to an already difficult game.

 

At the end of the day, I think I was able to clear about 270 of the co-op missions solo. Fortunately for me tho, I lucked out and met the absolutely stellar @vixietrixie to help me knock out the rest! I would be remiss not to thank her for all the help, as this gal was absolutely amazing behind the sticks  Between all the strategizing and coming up with game plans for each individual section, to just sticking it out through all the crazy lag spikes and such, I am very lucky to have met her! My eternal gratitude goes out to you for knocking this out together  Here is a video of our last level together, and subsequently the plat pop for me:

 

(also with some fun commentary by me, as I didn't realize my mic was recording only me the whole time lol)

 

Another thing that bears mentioning here is the infamous "Impossible Powerup"... The story goes like this: this game was ported to PS from what was originally a mobile game. What this means is some stuff didn't translate so well to the console version! The section in question here is a mission for collecting all powerups on the level known as Sticky Bounce. There's one part where in the mobile version, you have plenty of room to fit between 2 saws to grab a shrink powerup. However on the console version, there is hardly enough room to fit through regularly, let alone after you grab the big powerup right before the spot! Basically this requires you to do some incredibly tricky and intricate powerup manipulation, meaning you have to basically drag the big up along the saws so it falls into this perfect spot, allowing you to have just enough time to nab it as you're sliding between the saws for the next powerup. On top of that, you're not necessarily guaranteed to slide between the saws unless you hit it just right! (under normal circumstances, I got the big up to the spot 3x, got through the saws 3x, but then couldn't get back out all 3x ?)

 

I managed to pull this off solo, getting an incredibly lucky bounce that launched the big well past the saws, making my life significantly easier in the process! That's not even the end of it, as you have to clear the next tricky section too before you hit the checkpoint ? This took me around 4-5 hours of practice just to work it all out and get a feel for the momentum and such with launching the powerup. Very proud of this one, and here's my luckiest bounce ever:

 

 

A huge thanks to @Floriiss for the incredibly helpful Impossible Powerup tutorial video! I'd also like to thank @Arcesius and @Mori for all their tips and general support ? ? I'll just leave a few more random vids under the spoiler tag here too, in case anyone is interested:

 

Spoiler

These are 2 of my proudest solo "No One Dies" runs:

 

 

This one is one of the hardest clone count missions, which I also did solo:

 

Lastly, here's vixietrixie and my next to last level completion together, a run on a tricky level named Fluffy:

 

 

Final verdict as far as the difficulty goes: The SP portion of the journey, I would comfortably rate at a 6.5/10. Now if we are including the co-op portion of the journey, between needing to master working with 2 controllers, to also navigating through the lag and everything else with someone else, and then knowing you've gotta do much of it twice for you and your teammate, this one easily falls into my top 3 hardest completions (alongside Trials Fusion and Super Meat Boy Forever)... I give the game overall a whopping 9.5/10 based on the aforementioned criteria on the difficulty scale! Don't let that scare you tho... This game is incredibly fun and (mostly) well made, I seriously enjoyed the hell out of it and am gonna miss it!!

 

Now then, I feel like I've scaled to the peak of Mt. Everest and just arrived back on solid ground... Now that the high is wearing off from the big win, I have to figure out what to play next!! We had discussed possibly tackling Unravel 2 and/or Injustice, so maybe one of those... I saw Arc playing Fury Unleashed, which also looks like a decent time! So we shall see.

 

Tier 1:

BADLAND (0.07%) 100%  

Nex Machina (3.66%) 100% 

Lumo (0.81%) 100% 

Dead Nation (2.62%) 100% 

 

Thanks for reading and keep on slaying those URs out there folks!! Until next time... Peace ✌️

Finished two games in Tier 2!

 

UR Clean Up 2023 Tier 2 by Thedah

Icon	Game	Platform	Progress	Rarities	Completion
	SoulCalibur V	PS3	51/51 - 100%	? 2.68% / ? 2.68%	?
	Exist Archive	PS4, Vita	45/45 - 100%	? 3.16% / ? 3.16%	?

? = not started • ? = started • ? = complete

Generated with PSNP+

 

SoulCalibur V was getting delisted so I decided to platinum it. The game's online still works but the servers are hanging on by a thread and I was experiencing a ton of disconnects. Other than that the platinum is not too bad. You'll have to fight 240 AI opponents but they can be cheesed with a certain character. The level and movement grinding can be done with a turbo controller.

 

Exist Archive is a JRPG by the same developer as Valkyrie Profile and is heavily inspired by it. It's not as good as Valkyrie Profile but it was enjoyable nonetheless. The platinum requires 100% exploration of all the maps, learning a majority of the skills, grinding affection, doing some speedrun fights, and there are also a bunch of endings that needs to be seen but it can be done easily with some backup saves. Overall, not that bad of a grind once you get in a groove.

[Abraniell]

My first Tier is finally done! Had to make some swaps her and there on a couple of entries due to some licenses issues I ran between my two PS4s that made the self boosting process of some of those games impossible, this should be now fix so I've move them to my Tier 2 list. Anyway here's how it ended up going

 

Tier 1

 

- Star Wars: Squadrons at 0.60% rarity

This game was awesome front to end I'm not truly a big Star Wars fan but as someone who has seen them all just for the general culture of it I can really appreciate what they crafted here. The controls are a bit awkward at first but once you learn the ropes the action provides some moments that really make you feel like a total badass pilot and the overall gameplay the starfighters provide is really responsive and feels great on hands.Trophy wise nothing is truly difficult just the online portion can be pretty grindy and a bit of a pain to boost as it requieres 10 players total, or if you did it like me 5 players with 2 consoles each. Took us around 2 weeks of playing long session here and there to get it done for us so with 10 total players is going to take way more time. If you love the idea of an FPS combined with a racing game then this one is for you.

 

- Unturned at 0.60% rarity NA

Trash kids game like thousends of others that spawned thanks to Minecraft. Got really nothing good to say about this one tbh there are some nasty glitches here that can end up costing you a lot of time on the road to the plat but ultimately the plat is like 12hrs long and you can literally spawn whatever item you need so the core mechanic of crafting is completely pointless and the overall time for the plat is cut in less than half then what would normally take without that as an option. So I guess the only really good thing that I can say about it is just how stupid easy the plat is for how rare it sits atm.

 

- Moto Racer 4 at 1.47% rarity

Alright so this one was a solid and nice surprise for me I gotta say when I originally started this since theres little to no information online about it I was expecting an easy UR plat on a game that not many people knew and that due to the online trophies was as rare as it was. And boy was I wrong on this, the online portion is extremely quick and easy you just need a total of 10 players for a couple of trophies and that's it. The games difficulty and overall rarity however lies in the fact that there's very little information on how to approach some of the events and theres at least a handfull that can be pretty tough. The game itself it's a fast pace arcade racer with competent AI on the harder difficulties and provides two different types of races you get the fast and hectic action from the asphalt superbikes and the nice and relaxing stunts from dirt bikes this makes for a really nice change of pace inbetween gameplay and even though is far from extremely difficult like other arcade racers it was a nice and solid challenge.

 

- Descenders  at 1.27% rarity NA

So I've had my eye on this one for a really long time but never was able to see the game on sale so when it dropped for PS+ I had to go head first for this one. In the end I had mixed feeling about this game, like the game was extremely fun and I enjoyed it every step of the way but the game is also full of crashes and game breaking glitches that can and will cost you a lot of wasted time particularly on the longer runs where the game seems to always want to fuck with your runs. Despite all of this I ended up doing 97% of the trophy list totally legit as I never bother to check on the EU forums and to my suprise there was a "good" glitch that pretty much takes away all of the game core mechanics and just turns the plat into a big joke and a walk in the park really. I ended up doing the bailess run in 5 min with this glitch as I was just done with the amount of crashes I expericed after many failed 40-50+ min runs. Overall really unique game and if you enjoy extreme sports games and can overlook the crashes here you can potentially have tons of fun with it like I did.

 

- Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-Tered at 0.98% rarity

I got this game done for PS3 6 years ago and was one of those games I look back on and feel I really enjoyed going for when growing up so going back to it on this remaster was a trip down memory lane and felt like I could have a more mature view on the game to see if it was really as good as I rememberd. To my surprise it really wasn't lol the game mechanics, the story and the gameplay all feel really outdated now and makes sense considering the original game realesed on 2009 the destructibility howerver it's still to this date really fun and there's really nothing quite like it on any other open world so that's good. I think this game was more deserving of a ramake treatment rather than a plain simple remastered with a change in the name. The game deserves way more than that and has way more potential if it was up to date with the current engines and open world concepts I do however understand the game is just not as popular for a full remake so it's fine I had fun with it. Trophy wise this version of the game is way quicker and easier than the original PS3 version as many of the lengthy trophies were removed here and some of the requierements were cut in half for other trophies.

 

 

Alright so with that done and my first Tier ever finished I move on to the next one. I'll update once completed or in the case I make any changes but since I'm almost done with most of the next games then hopefully it should be done quicker. I'm also going to be starting soon a long term commitment plat from now till the end of the year so we'll see how it goes and how it affects this lists.

 

Tier 2

 

- 3on3 Freestyle at 0.71% rarity EU (97% done)

- Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator at 1.32 rarity (62% done)

- REUS at 0.64% rarity (0% done)

- Power Ranger: Battle for the Grid at 0.55% rarity (48% done)

- CarX Drift Racing Online at 1.06% (0% done)

WindBound 0.67% 

 

My desire to turn on the ps5 fell off a cliff for the last couple months.  Too much going on in meatspace and by the time the kids are in bed, i m too tired to even consider trying something.  But i thought i d have one attempt at Windbound a couple weeks ago and see how it all shook out.

 

Got this for a couple bucks to join the eternal backlog, and was perusing the forums to see what odd tips could be gleaned.  Ran into dieselmanchilds horror show, deleted the game and hid it on my games list.  Bugged trophies and seen  these before, where theres no reason why they pop for one, and not another.  Minit, and Atari 3 come to mind and its quite irritating to say the least.   After DMC won, i figured it needed one go before i put it in the never pile, so, disconnected from the internet, backed up my saves, and gave it a shot for the Back to Basics trophy, and it popped first time.  Pretty good, but i failed to read the trophy guide, and stuffed up the Craft everything trophy.  You got to delete your save data after every run, or it bugs.  Only 6 hours lost, a fraction of DMC's struggle.

 

Was ok, lots of bugs, pretty casual plat, do this, do that, button mash up walls etc.  Think thats my first and last survival game, but can see the appeal once you learn the games rhythm, just too much busy work.  Building a massive warship is pretty cool, but it would hit an invisible wall at the end of the crossings and several times throw me into the roof where i d get stuck and have to reload.  

 

Tier 3

1. Dead Cells 2.24%

2. Wasteland2  1.84%

3. Super Star Wars 2.28%

4. Windbound 0.67%

S'up, chaps and chaplettes,

 

First game in Tier 2 Complete!  ?

 

 

 

 

 Took me long enough, at 13 years and 3 days.... but finally took the time (and patience) to suffer through the Trials of Saint Lucia EA Trials - the little cherry-shaped shit-nugget set atop the sewage sunday that is this poor-man's God of War clone.

 

Luckily, making it through the endless bullshit, enemies failing to spawn, disconnects from the servers, nonsense cheap deaths, floors failing to spawn, homing missiles failing to home, combos failing to combo and general game failing to game was made bearable by doing so with my man @KindaSabbath - our frendship now strengthened by being forged in the fire of gaming mediocrity!

 

 

What to say about Dante's Inferno generally?

 

Well...

 

...it's the LA Cops to God of War's Hotline Miami...

...the Access Denied to God of War's Statik: Institute of Retention...

...the Lost at Sea to God of War's Gone Home...

...the Sniper Ghost Warrior to God of War's Sniper Elite...

...the Sonic to God of War's Mario...

 

...in that it's the same thing on paper...

...but with none of the charm, none of the originality, none of the competence, none of the spectacle, and none of the fun.

 

It's the game to make other problem GoW clones like Castlevania: Lords of Shadow look like masterpieces by comparison...

...and the game that really shows the power cocaine has in the videogame project pitch:

 

 

"He guys! I've got a great Idea for a game!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Hit me with it!"

"You know how all fans of God of War are also huge fans of 14th century Italian religious poetry?"

"Of course!"

"Let's do The Divine Comedy... but make it an action game.... and make it SUPER STUPID!"

"I LOVE it!"

 

 

 

Anyways:

 

 

My Current UR List:

 

Tier 1

1. Metrico+                                  -     (4xUR)      -     4.35%

2. Tetris Effect                              -     (7xUR)      -    0.49%

3. Cities Skylines                         -    (44xUR)     -     0.06% (100% Stat)

4. Dead Cells                               -    (8x UR)      -    0.22% (100% Stat)

5. Cities Skylines Remastered     -    (5xUR)       -     3.02% (0.25%) (100% Stat)

 

 

Tier 2

Yo - after confirming with the EventMasterTM  @Copanele  - I'm declaring this game as an UR I'm going for now:

 

 

It's currently as UR as it gets - since no one has achieved it yet, and I started it when there were loads of UR trophies... but with a player count as low as it is currently, if even one other person gets the plat before me, it will be VR if I do too!

 

 

PS. This game is AMAZING y'all.

Like a cross between Slay the Spire, Into the Breach, and Superhot.

I can't recommend it highly enough!

 

 

[Dzware]

After well over 14 years, I finally got GTA4 to 100%, making me third slowest achiever for this game. I already got the plat like 5 years ago, and did The Lost and Damned last year, so only had The Ballad of Gay Tony left to play. Starting this back up was pretty nostalgic, though that feeling didn't really last long, cause the age of this game really shows throughout. While there's a decent amount of fun missions in design, I got increasingly annoyed at the game due to the many bugs, perfomance issues and just general jank of the game, these things making the 100% missions also harder than they should've been. The requirements themselves aren't too bad, especially since you can just focus on 1-2 of them per run (like there's no need to get high accuracy and many headshots simultaneously, or limit your damage while trying to finish the mission under the required time). So overall I didn't hate it, but did wish I had a better time with it.

 

In the meantime I've also been chipping away a bit at some other games. I'm about halfway now for both campaign and track of the day author medals in Trackmania, but that will still take a while to finish, so I honestly don't think it'll stay in tier 2. Uncharted 4 and MotoGP will hopefully be done this month though.

Uncharted 4 (PS4, 0.89%) - 32%

Rock of Ages II: Bigger & Boulder

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/6434-rock-of-ages-2-bigger-boulder/MrHealthy

 

Finally got around to another one. I enjoyed the first one back on PS3. It also had UR trophies and it was pretty easy overall. This sequel went on sale for a new lowest price recently so I decided to pick it up. If you are unfamiliar its a competitive tower defense game where you defend against a boulder trying to smash into your castle. You also directly control your boulder and try to dodge the defenses your opponent set up. It has a few other modes like obstacle courses as well. It's very silly with a Monty Python style of humour. Good fun for sure. Can recommend both 1 & 2 as easy UR games. I have yet play 3, but it's on extra and has a plat that the others lack, so it's also worth a look.

 

I expected this one to be even easier than the first and it was. No collectibles, just play campaign and do the time trials plus a couple other misc trophies. The time trials are the UR trophies and they are not difficult. Maybe a couple tries on the couple of more difficult ones where you need to figure out when to slow down for corners. Otherwise no issues at all. Nice breezy experience. Looking forward to number 3.

Darius Burst Another Chronicle Ex (Eu) done for bounty ,:)

[blu3st4rdust305]

Seems like my tier list did not entice me to play at all. Instead decided to cross off a PS+ Premium/Extra game before it is removed.

 

Raiden V: Director's Cut is not terribly difficult. In fact, the ability to restart stages and chapters really helps with the 1 skill based trophy of finishing the game with no continues. You can optimize each stage to your liking before moving on to the next. Not that it makes it automatically easy, but it becomes far more achievable than attempting to do it in one sitting. After that trophy, it is just grinding away to get the Sols and Fairies. I did find the backgrounds to be more distraction than necessary. The start of Chapter 5 has blue bullets on slow moving blue background, for example. Took a second to adjust and def caused a bit of strain on the eyes. I guess that is par for course for shoot-em-ups (When can I get Geometry Wars 4?). There is a story in there, somewhere. People are talking constantly at you, with the game putting captions near the top of the screen, which you neither read and or help you see incoming ships. Something about crystals, maybe? 

 

It may be best for me just to organically clear these games instead of holding them over my own head.

 

Tier 1:

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (3.48%) - 4 UR trophies - 100% - Completed 01/27/2023

Rock of Ages III: Make & Break

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/11121-rock-of-ages-3-make-break/

 

Since I enjoyed my brief time with the second game I decided to just finish up the trilogy since RoA3 is in the game catalog. The game finally has a platinum, and is much more involved than the first two, with you needing to 100% everything in single player, as well as spend a couple hours grinding out points in online matches for the rank trophies. Like 2 all the online trophies can be done in split screen, and there is a user made level (user made levels are new to 3) that makes this process very easy as the AI won't even try to finish it. Best done in 2 player split screen vs 2 AI for maximum xp gain. So the online side was no issue.

 

The single player is considerably harder than the first two games. But it is harder for all the wrong reasons. It has an absolute ton of issues. So much so that I can categorically recommend people to stay away from this one if they care about trophies. It was a frustrating mess. Let's get into it! Here is every issue I had with RoA3:

 

• The AI cheats in the War game mode (the main mode). They get significantly more resources to use than you do in their defense. There is nothing you can do about this. It feels like you are at a constant disadvantage because you are.
• Leading off from point 1, because the enemy has so many more traps on the field you are basically forced to use a high defense boulder since the other boulders get destroyed way too quick which stifles play style.
• As well since you have so few resources you basically just have to cram as much as you can into a small a space as possible in order to try and glitch out the AI if you want any hope of clearing the levels above the 50% door health needed for the star. Every match plays out almost identically as a result of this and the previous point.
• The frame rate drops to the 10's during the majority of the war matches.
• There are stuttering issues across all modes
• The course creating aspect of the game has lead the single player level design to be lacking in my opinion.
• One of the obstacle levels just straight up crashes the game every time if you pass between these two pillars on the final turn. You can avoid the crash by jumping left past the pillars cutting the corner.
• One of the avalanche levels is fully broken and most of your defensive units will sink into the ground being unusable. You can get around this by only using fireworks and walls on that level as for whatever reason they will not sink.
• On the same avalanche level the AI will most times simply not move forward, making it impossible to kill them, forcing you to restart the level until it co-operates.
• In any mode with you and the enemy boulder on the same track colliding with them will send you flying but not affect them at all.
• Every single track seems to have collision detection issues, with your boulder randomly bumping into seemingly invisible things.
• Cannons that you are required to use will regularly overshoot or undershoot you at random. Sometimes it would take several dozen attempts for it to shoot me where I needed to be and you take damage with each failed shot.
• Trampolines would sometimes just not work forcing you to back up and try it again.
• Speed boosts would also sometimes just not work. Though this doesn't cause any major issues.
• In the Humpty Dumpty challenges I would sometimes just take damage at random.
• Humpty Dumpty's jump was so inconsistent that I had to find cheesy ways past certain jumps that were otherwise luck of the draw if I could jump high or far enough.
• In all game modes there is a chance that your boulder will just stop moving. Like it gets super glued to the ground. If that happens, too bad, nothing you can do but restart the match.
• I fell through the floor a couple of times.
• The respawns if you fall off the stage were super inconsistent. Sometimes you would appear just before the spot you fell, other times you would appear half way back up the map.
• The menu's are needlessly vague compare to RoA2. It was confusing to figure out how I could even play custom multiplayer games on campaign levels at first.
• While not really a big issue it also gave me a mini heart attack when I thought I got my last star and the trophy didn't pop. Turns out the tutorial has a second star that it never tells you about anywhere that I needed to get.
• There are probably a few more issues I am forgetting as well.

 

I still highly recommend Rock of Ages 1 on PS3/PC and Rock of Ages 2 on PS4/PC. When the games function the formula is fun.

 

But Rock of Ages 3 is a mess. Apparently the PC version got a few more patches so it might be in a better state. If you do want to check it out because it is the only game in the series with a level editor than check in out on PC.

Got another 2 games done, including 1 swap:

 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (replacing RE Revelations 2)

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time

 

I’ve talked about these two games a bit already in other events so I’ll try not to repeat the same bits here.

 

BO3 was a fun game game overall, although the grind for kills to level up guns was a bit tedious going towards the Personal Decorator trophy. This was nothing compared to other long ass grinds I’ve suffered through already (getting all characters in Ultra Street Fighter 4 to rank C, the Battle Trophies of Star Ocean 4 where I did almost all of them MANUALLY, finding all 200 pigeons and AWP in Grand Theft Auto 4, etc.). This was also my first game where I experienced the infamous Zombies mode for the first time. It’s a fun mode but really sucks when you mess up on an Easter Egg step permanently or die in later rounds after spending 2+ hours on it. But time spent on these EE could be cut considerably with an experienced team who are familiar with all or most of the steps and where the workload can be distributed evenly. However, doing it solo has its advantages as well. For one you can actually PAUSE, you know, where everything and everyone actually stops lol. Co-op doesn’t have that luxury because everything is still moving after pressing the pause button. So if you’re stuck or forget what to do and need to lookup on how to do a certain EE step, or hell you need to unload in the toilet after spending an hour or two straight in the same map lol, pausing in solo will allow you to do all this. Without getting into too much detail about the Gobblegums that helped me get through all the EE’s that can be done solo, the MVP’s were Perkaholic, Shopping Free, Extra Credit and Reign Drops for setup, then Reign Drops again and Near Death Experience for after setting up. Especially the last one that pretty much gives you immortality for 3 rounds as long as you have the self-revive perk active. Having multiples of it will help you survive in the later rounds as long as you spin the Gobblegum machine once or twice each round until you get another NDE after the previous one has just expired or it’s on its last round. Fortunately you can also save all your Gobblegums that were used in your current Zombies session by pausing then just closing the app, because ending the session or dying in-game will result in losing all the Gobblegums that’ve been used. This was huge because if done correctly you were almost at zero-risk of losing any Gobblegums as long as you have the self-revive perk active that prevented you from dying. I was able to save and use the same key Gobblegums that helped me throughout my whole Zombies journey, and some of them took very lucky RNG to acquire even just one of them. And “dashboarding”, another name for closing the app to exit session, is a lot easier to do in solo simply because of, again, pausing.

 

I haven’t touched a Crash game since the very first one that released on the PS1. In fact, I’ve only played the demo version and so I was only able to play the first stage of the game back then. Crash 4 was not only fun but also gave a solid challenge and I can understand why there are so many people giving 9’s and 10’s in difficulty to this game. This game can really give the average person or someone who isn’t too adept to platformers a hard time, hell make them even go insane lol. Not gonna lie, there are some really shitty mechanics in this game like Cortex’s ray gun not “shooting” and traveling like it’s supposed to even when facing the supposedly correct direction with the joystick. Going from a slide spin to a jump can sometimes use up your second jump if you’ve jumped after unintentionally spinning off the platform first, causing you to already be “in the air” that can lead you falling to your death trying to reach far distances. The target detection can be really awful at times like for example, when controlling Dingodile I would suck up a TNT to try and blowup some boxes in front of me but instead the TNT would travel to some other boxes WAY behind it…like really? Not correctly aiming at certain targets could be a huge problem when riding on a moving platform or when an enemy is moving towards you. Hitboxes in riding sections could be awful too, but I think this is more of a thing you just practice until you can accurately run into and break them consistently. These negatives are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head since these are what annoyed me the most. After putting off the Time Trials for awhile because I didn’t feel like doing them at the time and that speedrunning is not my thing, it feels great to have them done finally! Outside of trophies, this game is just really fun to play casually as well. The funny cutscenes made it even more enjoyable and amusing. Definitely will play the Trilogy sometime later.

 

Perhaps I’ll finally get that damn turbo controller soon so I can finish off Injustice to close out Tier 1 lol.

Exploit for this recently showed up where if you join a co-op game, the game just unceremoniously shits out whatever trophies the host earned for you, making the plat pretty much effortless since you can just join lobbies over and over until you get someone with all of the trophies. Needless to say I had to jump in on this. Obviously not much to say on the game itself considering like 95% of my plat time was spent in the lobby list.

 

Also since there's a halfway decent chance this exploit could push the game out of UR status unless it gets patched soon (this game was on PS+ and it's apparently still on Extra, so the Sims 4 effect may very well happen), the plat rarities as they stand now.

Also grabbed this Stranded Deep platinum before the developers fix their glitch or it gets catapulted down to Very Rare, both of which are very possible.

 

Hopefully the last Tier 1 game I play takes a bit more effort

Can’t fucking wait! Sign me up! 
 

Tier 1:

- Team Sonic Racing

- Wipeout Omega Collection

- Dirt Rally

- Crash 4

- Leo’s Fortune

So…. I’m not very good at sticking to plans….

….. However I have completed 5 UR games so here’s my completed tier 1:

 

Surgeon Simulator (Platinum 0.60%)

I really like Bossa Studios and while I do think I am Bread is the better game, I can’t deny that this was stupid fun. I’m hoping one day I am Fish comes to PlayStation! If anyone is working on this one, I made a video that could be of use so I’ll link that here: 

While not a guide by any means - this video contains all blood loss related trophies, all A++ runs two of which happen to be the trickiest time trials in the game - all in one cohesive video with time stamps!

 

My Friend Pedro (Platinum 3.27%)

Really fun twin stick shooter with some dope ass slowdown mechanics! Highly recommend.

 

Streets of Rage 2

(1x UR Trophy at 2.82%)

2.82% ULTRA RARE

High Score:  Score 800,000 points in one game -- with Game Settings set to Hardcore.

Awesome to revisit a game from my childhood and even better that I got to blast through this one with my friend @YaManSmevz

 

We were whooping ass in co-op and whooping each others ass in the pvp - no free handouts here, we made each other work for the trophies ?

 

Dante’s Inferno

(1x UR Trophy at 4.78%)

4.78% ULTRA RARE

It's in the Trial

Beat 25 different single player and 15 different two-player EA trials

 

Uhm… this one I’m not sure where to start… I enjoyed it for what it is (knock off GoW) and I really dug the campaign. Even though inferior to GoW in every possible way, its similarities gameplay wise make it fun enough, for me personally.
 

Where the game really falls short though is in the Combat Trials - I feel as though this is where Dante’s Inferno just cannot hold up and it becomes evident that the game is lacking in both combat depth and enemy variety (tbh just lacking overall as the trials were unimaginative and repetitive). The Trials of St. Lucia are not even particularly challenging, it’s just difficulty done cheaply through hidden in game sliders that add an element of randomness, resulting in unnecessary trial and error. Luckily I had some of the best company with my dude @DrBloodmoney kicking ass alongside me, so ultimately I still had a really good time with the game. Thankfully.

 

WIPEOUT OMEGA COLLECTION (Platinum 1.21%)

Oh boy… This game very nearly dethroned CTR as my favourite Arcade Racer of all time. Pure excellence in every sense of the word. Every so often I get completely hooked by certain gameplay mechanics that encourage me to master the game and just fucking send it. I learned two things playing Wipeout: hitting successive barrel rolls to drum & bass does in-fact make you feel like a total badass, and you don’t need wheels to hit a gnarly Scandinavian Flick.

 

Oh and both William P and Zico can kiss my sweet ass because those muhfukkas ain’t catching me:
