Attack on Completion 2023

[Pauloxzak]

Update #10:

Starting completion rate (from the beginning of the year) : 60.68%

Current completion rate : 61.73% (+0.13% from last update ~ +1.05% from start)

Target rate: 65.68% (5% increase)

 

Yeah! Finally 1% increase and Hogwarts Legacy is done, now I'll keep it up with Persona and try to continue the good streak so I can grab more % earlier than later

 

Completed this week:

Hogwarts Legacy - PS5 - What a great game, me and wife had a lot of fun, only downsides were some bugs (we really thought we were stuck at 99% when we couldn't find the last butterfly, but it was there luckily) and the last trophies that required new games with other houses that was quite boring to do, funny how this year started with many PS5 games completed

 

Progress this week:

Persona 4 Golden - PSVITA - 75% - No trophies again... so as by my spreadsheet I'm at 257 Rise lines and no trophy, guess only way is forward and keep getting lines, I'm at Naoto's dungeon right now and on track for the other trophies, only concern would be 100 skill cards for Marie that I'm at 71 right now but it's not that easy/fast to get new ones since I can't drop schedule totally due to needing true ending to go to the cafe to get cards there so I have to rely a lot on shuffle time, hope all will be ok

 

Completed games during the event:

Spoiler

1. Babylon's Fall - PS5
2. Heavenly Bodies - PS5
3. Heavenly Bodies - PS4
4. Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion - PS5
5. Overwatch 2 - PS5
6. Hogwarts Legacy - PS5

Update #10!

 

Dead Cells (100% -> 100%):

Did the new Castlevania DLC. Moved up in the first achievers leaderboard from #10 to #5. Maybe next DLC I will take the day off and get #2/#3 lol. Not much to say, I really like this game, go play if you haven't.

 

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (4% -> 42%):

I have been playing this game co-op with @Sir_Bee, so shout out to him. We finally finished the main story last week. This game is annoying. You are encouraged to play co-op, but you don't get story credit for anything. You have to do everything as the host. So we would end up running each dungeon twice, right after. So that hampers progress a lot. But man, that final boss was so damn long. Once we finished the boss, we were preparing ourselves to have to beat it again (the next session because it was so long). However, it actually counted for both of us. Which was really nice. But also frustrating since the game clearly has the ability to have everything count for everyone. Oh well. Now that the story is finished, we will be working on our ultimate weapons, and grinding out all the artifacts.

 

Dead Nation (66% -> 92%):

This game is basically finished. I have the last zombie killing grind to do, but I am setting up my milestones (150 plats and 8k) so I have not finished it in prep for that. Shout out to @MrHealthy for absolutely stomping co-op with me on one evening. I had a little trouble with getting to round 10 in endless. I think it mostly has to do with vita limitations, would randomly get stuck or I would throw a grenade in one direction, dash in a second, end in a third with the grenade on top me of lol. Frustrating to say the least, though finishing felt great. Morbid difficulty wasn't too bad. I did buy the PS4 version so I will be doing that soon.

 

Final Fantasy 7 Remake (72% -> 74%):

Working on the Hard mode, which I am not enjoying. I don't mind a challenge, but the active combat just feels so bad for me. Dodging is absolute garbage and I am used to being able to dodge and actually miss attacks, or if the enemy is doing a jumping attack to not have them track me mid air. Dumb. Don't like that there is basically only one way to beat the bosses (look up your materia loadout and hope RNG is favorable). Also not being able to use items is retarded. I can see restricting the use in combat, but also not in combat is just frustrating. Having to load the game over and over to just restore your mana is such bad game mechanics. Anyway, I enjoy the game other that that stuff. I am on Ch.9. Just about half way through. I am going to try to make this both my milestones I mentioned in Dead Nation. Hopefully I can knock out hard mode fast enough to do that lol.

 

So, as noted several times now, my milestones are being prepared. That means I am playing a few easier games to pad stats. Gotta really stick with FF7R to get that finished, finishing Hard mode is my goal this week. I am hoping I can. If I can get two chapters done a day, should be no problem. But I am only averaging one a day lol.

Update 

 

Knockout City 100% 

 

Started the game when the server shutdown announcement was made. Took over a month because of the daily contracts. Had lots of matches where I played regularly and got trophies along the way.

 

Yakuza 0 12%

 

I did start this long ago as I plan to go through the main games. So far, it’s great. Definitely does feel long. 
 

 

Gran Turismo 7 10%

 

Got the game a year ago and went back to it as I had the licenses to do. Made good progress on it and hope to pass them all and getting the rest of the trophies.

 

Will continue to play games that I started mainly single player ones, and see if I do start a new game that is part of my planned games to do right away.

Completion Rate 48.82%

This is why I plan on doing those trophies last after I do my main story playthrough and abuse the cutscene and dialogue skip and then quit and restart, so I don't have to spend too much time as a Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. House Ravenclaw 4-EVER!

257 Rise lines and no trophy

Still unsure of whether, like Futaba's trophy in the original Persona 5, you have to get them all in one playthrough or they carry over to NG+. Hardcore Risette is terrible.

Yeah we did that, after everything was done my wife created a new character, we made a save right at the sorting ceremony that we backed up to cloud so we could skip the initial stage, and used a lot of cutscene skip, was still quite boring lol

From what I can tell, nothing related to this trophy carried to NG+, I believe you just have to get it on a single playthrough, also from what I read around on forums just lines inside battle counts (because there are some she says during dungeons, like related to party members being low on health), but I'm still above the required by my count and no trophy... hoping for the best

Good to know. I don't know how this is not popping since you got over 250 lines. *shrug*

Yeah, I might do that. I could have my nieces choose the customization for this trash character just for funsies as I want them to watch me play games. Also promised them Monster Hunter Rise after my vacay which was probably a bad idea as my only off-line friend says that it's brutal. O_o

Week 10 Update:

 

Starting PCG: 58.08%

Current PCG: 61.07%

 

I finished off God of War 2 this week, with just having the uber chests to collect. Which obviously I missed on replay because I was having too much fun... so had to replay it again. It was a little annoying but I do love this game so oh well. It's held up really well and I'm excited to get the 100% in Chains of Olympus next. I've forgotten a lot of the story from the PSP titles too so it'll be nice to revisit those.

 

Also made some progress on Borderlands 2 this week, and that will be where my attention lies this week gaming-wise. 

[be_minor]

A bit late with this week’s progress report, but I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished in the little time I’ve had to play the past few days. (I had a blast in Disneyland this weekend for my partner’s birthday!) I finally finished up Dysmantle, cleaning the map of all collectibles and points of interest. According to PSN, it took about 51 hours to 100%, but it felt much longer due to the amount of backtracking. Nonetheless, I recommend playing it if you like collectible hunting and listening to podcasts. 

 

Starting PCG: 64.88% 

Last Week’s PCG: 66.30%  

Current PCG: 66.50% (+0.20%) 

Goal PCG: 70%

That sounds a bit right up my alley, although I'm not sure I like the idea of being in a zombie apocalypse. (That's why I avoided The Last of Us and The Walking Dead.) Still, if there isn't much to worry about threat-wise, might look into it.

Good to see everyones updates, been out of the loop a while binging Destiny 2, much to a disappointment I realise I simply don’t have the time for these kind of games, also a lot of the recent changes are rubbish and feel half-baked. Think that’s probably me tipping my hat at live-service games going forwards, got plenty of great experiences to dive into without the need to feel like ‘keeping up’.

 

So based on my last update, I think other than sinking hours in Destiny 2 new expansion and season content, I also played through God of War: Ragnarok , which I will say was a fitting sequel though overly gear driven in this one. I think simplifying that system or offering a complex and simple version would have helped me stay more immersed, especially at odds with the 1-take edit they have for the storyline.

 

I also slid through Slyde and feel a little greasy now but I’m sure in my grand scheme these easy plats pale to my other accomplishments!

 

For now, I’m thinking what to play this week, continue GoW:R, though I am feeling a little burnt out after emotional story. Toying with either jumping back into Borderlands 2 or Witcher 3, knowing they both have plenty of ? to be earned. Any suggestions?

 

::: Week (11?) 2023 :::

Original Starting 81%

Last update in week 4 83.34%
Current PGC: 83.00% -0.34%

 

Have a good one all!!

I would say do something short and sweet. I looked through your incomplete games and they all appear to be long ones. Do you have anything in your unstarted backlog you could complete in a few days to a week? 

 

If you are determined to do either Borderlands 2 or The Witcher 3, Optinooby is working on a guide for The Witcher 3 that IIRC makes it around 20 or so hours for the 100%.

Indeed I do, from unplayed perspective: Resi 0, Resi 4 (original), Rime,  Alan Wake, Control, Spider-Man, DMC 1-3 HD collection, Metro Redux, GTA VC/SA, Hades.

Rime is pretty short. I personally didn't care for it but to each their own. Optinooby has several RE guides to get them platinums fast - not sure he has done RE4 though but 0 for sure as I recall. Can't speak to Alan Wake, DMC, or Hades. Metro isn't too bad lengthwise but requires 2 or 3 runs IIRC. GTA's just have monster checklists I'd be afraid to touch.

 

Control is in my own unplayed backlog and I really should get to it...

 

Marvel's Spider-Man was simply amazing, the DLC less so but that main game - that's what I vote for.

The undead are mostly used as an obstacle to gatekeep areas/ resources, and appear seldomly as mini-bosses. There's a way to permanently keep them from respawning too, so once you clear any area, you're free to resource-farm/ collectible hunt without any resistance. I'd watch some gameplay and see if it's something you click with. It's very cozy.

seeing you playing LBP on PS3 weren't the servers closed?

The servers were closed in 2021 IIRC, unfortunately I popped some trophies for it long ago. I no longer own it so I rented it from the library for when I needed a break from Rayman Origins. It's another game where there are a ton of trophies on page 1 of my trophy advisor. Between this low hanging fruit and finishing RO, I hope to get below 500 unearned trophies but man do I find LBP boring. 

[Karlat984]

Update number 5:

 

Original Starting PCG: 75.28%
Goal: 85%

Last PCG: 75.27%

Current PCG: 75.97%

 

I feel like I have made my first proper chunk of progress in this challenge. I'm also under 2,200 trophies unearned ? although, I didn't stick to my previous plans and platinum GoW Ragnarök (love the game but the collectibles... not so much) or finish the Spider-Man DLC.

 

I platinumed Startenders which is an extremely fun PSVR game and I cleaned up the DLC for Burnout Paradise Remastered and LittleBigPlanet 3. I've also made really good progress with Friday the 13th.

 

I'm gonna pull myself together and get that plat for Ragnarök and finish my Spider-Man NG+ by my next update. I'm aiming to have gained 1% in total towards my goal also.

 

I have to say, I'm really loving this challenge! It's really motivating me to clean up my trophy list and earn trophies everyday.

 

Happy hunting everyone and well done on all the progress you've made so far ?

makes sense! I was just hoping they would have restored it ?. Will put it on my list for this year

[BlackSquirrell1]

St. Paddy's Day Update:

 

Well, believe it or not, I finished Detroit: Become Human.  It only took me 2 1/2 years to do it, but hey, it is DONE.  The problem is that it is actually an excellent game; I just got distracted and moved onto other shiny games that caught my eye. Don't see any replayability factor, but glad I played it and really enjoyed it.  Recommend it to anyone just for the enjoyment and great storyline.

Weekly Update Time

2 New additions this week.

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin- This is a short VR puzzle game, set in between Psychonauts 1 & 2. Nice nad relaxing really, kind of felt a bit like a point and click game, in VR.

Psychonauts 2- Very much enjoying this, as I have done with most (If not all) Double Fine games so far. Sad to think this is probably the last one we'll likely get on Playstation.

 

Don't think I'm far off finishing Psychonauts, so next on the list, I'm looking at doing Swordsman VR.

 

 

[da-Noob123]

This week was pretty poor in regards to how many trophies I earned but that was because of the work required for said trophies. 

 

Rayman Origins 10% > 57%

This is where I spent the bulk of this week. Slogging through the levels to track down the lums to reach the needed amount to complete the medallions and of course completing the time trials. I did actually have a pretty good time with the game but some levels really annoyed me. World 10 and the secret world were took the medium difficulty from the rest of the game and cranked it to 11 though it was still largely easier than Crash Bandicoot. However, Mecha no Mistake really passed me off at times and personally it ranks with The High Road and Stormy Ascent from Crash. I am so glad I finished it, as are my left thumb and right middle finger - they were harmed in the making of this platinum. 

 

Little Big Planet (PS3) 4% > 11%

I dabbled in this crap game when I needed a break from Rayman but man does it handle poorly. Whoever thought having a 3 layer landscape in a side scrolling platformer is an idiot. Sackboy moves like molasses and handles like a drunken toddler. Coming from the fairly smooth controls of Rayman, this is a nightmare. I am getting as many easy trophies as I can stomach then moving on to something worth playing. I just can't understand how this series got so big.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

 

Edit: I got LBP up to 32% yesterday. Without the DLC, there are 5 more possible trophies I can earn. 2 are for finding 75% and then 100% of the prize bubbles, a third is for beating all levels without dying, fourth for "reaching an incredible speed," and last is falling for 8 seconds. Screw the first 3, the last 2 I attempted to do last night but didn't quite manage to pull off either. I'll give it one mire go then move. 

 

Currently at 19 incomplete games, 495 unearned trophies, and at 94.99% first overall completion!

Got a couple of updates for the glorious month of March:

 

The Artful Escape: What a great game!  Just put on the headset, wail on the guitar and have a blast!  Really enjoyed this one. Not difficult but just pure fun.

 

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter: Noticed this game was leaving the catalogue so got off my ass and jumped in.  Nice game, way too short, and enjoyable.

 

Looking into the crystal ball, I see The Council and Cat Quest II in my future.....

 

Start %: 58.88

Games played this week:

 

Thief: 28% > 67% > 88% Finished the collectibles and other miscellaneous trophies. I am missing a secret area to visit somewhere in the game unfortunately. I think I know where it is in chapter 4. I hope i am right otherwise i need to walk through the entire game again and i don't think i have it in me.  

 

Star wars racer Revenge: 19% > 80% > 80% Still haven't managed to beat the best lap time. 

 

COD infinite warfare: 12% > 37% As mentioned last week, i had many trophies for this game on my first page of the trophy advisor so that's where i concentrated. I managed to pop 11 trophies in a few hours. Went over to zombies and checked out what i could easily pop and moved on

 

 I DID IT !!! I HIT MY GOAL OF 75%. Next goal to get below 800 unearned trophies and maintain it for the remainder of the year while starting new games

Update #5
Starting PCG: 77.94%

Current PCG: 78.92%

================
Goal:  83%

 

Slowly but surely I’m crawling towards 80% which has been one of my goals for a few years now. 
I’ve managed to get a decent amount of trophies in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel done.

I dropped my percentage by starting F1 2016 but went through the game fairly quick so no real damage was done. 
Today I finally decided to start playing République after sitting on my list with one earned trophy for the last 7 years… it’s so satisfying to see those numbers go up!!!

 

Goal for next week is to be well in the 79%

I’ll try and finish République next week, and might give Metro Last Light on PS3 a go!
