Attack on Completion 2023

[Spinacheq]

Please sign me up again this year.  My goal is 91%  I am currently sitting at 85.23%  

 

I had a trophy syncing question I was wondering if someone might know the answer too.  Before the servers from mercenaries 2 shut down I managed to get the last 2 I needed for the for the platinum, but I never synced my trophy list as I was hoping to finish Cold steel 4 as my 100th platinum.  I am still working on cold steel 4 actually making progress in the story again since I have found some time to squeeze in gaming again with my work schedule.  So my question is if I get the plat for cold steel 4 and sync it, then go and turn back on my ps3 and sync the trophy list which will count on here as my 100th platinum?

Pretty sure it will adjust it to match the timestamps.

Yes they will adjust.

I've made a fantastic start so far.

 

I've completed 5 games and lowered my completion percentage to 70.13% all within the first week of January.

Well, at least I've earned 170 trophies....

that is a strange start ...

[Annoyingtiger888]

I don't know how well this will go for me, probably badly ?

Right now I'm sitting at 39.34% completion (what is wrong with me that's so low ?)

For my goals... I'd like to try and get to 50%, I suppose. I'm not really sure how it works, though.

Does the % go down each time you add a new game? And it goes up when you earn trophies? ? Or does the % go up when you 100% a game?

[maxfighter23___]

my completion has increased to 17.75 now when my most games are done  i can then play my newer games i am working on my completion its good so far because i dont play my newer games unless alot of games in my profile are done i finally understand now how everything works so about trophie hunting dlc genres now i lvl up my characters on final fantasy type 0hd its great game and not too hard my next game wil be god of war 2018 ore assasins creed origins+dlc

Does the % go down each time you add a new game? And it goes up when you earn trophies?  Or does the % go up when you 100% a game?

Adding a game does not make a profile decrease in percentage until you pop the first trophy. Then it will go down by the amount of trophies that are on that list and by type. Games with lots of gold trophies will give you a big decrease. The more games on your profile, the less of a hit you take adding a new game. 
 

It goes back up as you get trophies. If you beat a game that has more gold and silvers, you will see a bigger increase than a game that has alot of bronzes. The less games you have on your profile, the faster your completion rate will rise. Some people have to complete a handful of games to get it to even move if they have alot if games and a high completion percentage. If the percentage is lower, you will see progress faster.

 

I looked at your profile, I would say focus on single player experiences that dont have too much grind at the end. There are options there and dont start any new games until you see results. 
 

On another note, I see you started Solitaire. I think that game is still glitched and unable to be completed. I could be wrong, but I own the game too and never booted it up because of that fact.

Oooo I see, thanks for explaining c: I'll do my best to up my percentage and get rid of my backlog!

I've tinkered with my stats presentation for the year ahead, not 100% sold on it just yet though so more minor alterations might come soon. Amended my country ranking goal - those column heading needs changed, but I can't be bothered to mess about with the spreadsheet now - slightly, ran some numbers and aiming for page 250 of the UK rankings might have been a little ambitious, so changed it to a target that is both more realistic and still challenging. Also decided to have an official target for reducing the unearned trophies on my profile, couldn't decide whether to go for 400 or 500 left unearned at year end so just took the middle option and got on with my life.

 

 

 

Dragon Age: Inquisition 91% -> 100%

Assassin's Creed: Revelations 72% -> 100%

 

 

As expected, the Inquisition platinum came quite quickly on the 1st. Enjoyed the game immensely, but after approximately 200 hours sunk into it over the past couple of months it's a bit of a relief to be done with it now and moving on to something else. New Year, fresh start and all that.

 

Something else was the first step of Operation Play Some of The Pile of Disc Games That The Kid Would Like (the guy who comes up with the names is on vacation) and first up was the semi-completed Revelations. There's been some games I started and gave up on in the past and returning to them over the past year made me wonder why I quit them in the first place. Revelations isn't one of them - that was purely down to the Lost Archive DLC. I suppose they deserve credit for trying something different, but it was dreadful and I hated it and the 3.5 year gap didn't do much to help my feelings about that. One of the main reasons for playing Assassin's Creed games is stabbing dudes in the throat and to replace that with a non-combat first person platformer didn't sit too well with me. Decided to return to it though and finished the main game miscellaneous trophies I didn't get first time around - already had the story, collectibles and full sync ones from first time around thankfully and despite being mildly triggered by the Desmond trophies being along Lost Archive lines, no real problems there once I remembered how to play the game. Eventually struggled through the Lost Archive as well, although I'll be having nightmares about crossing the Styx for quite a while - that last trophy must have take me at least four hours and several NSFW outbursts to master. A proper challenge though, I EARNED that bronze!

 

Plan for the upcoming week is to take on the Spiderman NG+ and DLCs and, time permitting, the Fallout 4 DLCs. Both physical games and I'll have the added bonus of taking on two games that, despite the platinum netted for both, currently sit in the 60s on my profile which has irritated me for quite a while now - although not enough to actually do something about it before now.

 

Solid start to the year here though, long may it continue.

Week 1 update:

 

Starting percentage: 63.30%

Current percentage: 63.49% (+0.19)

 

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag 92% --> 98%

Borderlands 94% --> 98%

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms 72% --> 77%

Just Cause 2 8% --> 18%

Medal of Honor 0% --> 98%

Syberia 0% --> 100%

 

Pretty decent starting week. Finished off the Borderlands DLC, almost done with AC4's multiplayer trophies, and played through Syberia to fill the 'adventure' square on my bingo card. Should be done with Medal of Honor tonight, then I can focus on Just Cause 2 next week. It's been sitting unfinished on my profile since 2014, so it's about time I got round to playing it.

[Arophous]

Ok, playing a little too much F1 22 last week of evenings and this weekend, bagged my 51st Platinum as a result though. Racing and MP does take its toll so I have a rather easy couple of weeks now battling the Modern Warfare 2018 campaign on Veteran, about half way through already, has been a lesson in hanging back and not looking at flashbacks I throw ?.

 

::: Week 0 2023 :::

Starting: 81%
Goal: 90%
Milestones: none
 

::: Week 1 2023 :::

Starting: 81%

Current PGC: 82% +1%

Spent most of my time this week working on TESO. The amount to work needed on this game is staggering and I am seriously considering just hiding it before the end of the month to play it at my leisure without stressing about trophies for the time being. 

 

When it got to be too much I played Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus.

I have decided to hide TESO for the time being. The 100+ trophies it has is screwing with my mind and I don't want that. I will play it at my leisure and that will hopefully make it less stressful going forward. To anyone else who has only a trophy or two in it, I recommend logging in daily to claim daily rewards - primarily for currency (especially in months where they give out 100k of gold) so that you can use the gold to buy pack, bank, and stable (mounts) upgrades. They really add up and if you don't plan on getting ESO+ right out of the gate you are going to need the extra storage space really quickly. Also, I highly recommend listening/ reading a beginners guide, personally I listened to LuckyGhosts one. It was 3 hours long and had a lot of useful information, I'm sure you can find others if you don't like Ghost for whatever reason or you think 3 hours is to long - to be honest though, that 3 hours barely scratches the surface of this game...

 

In other news, this weekend I managed to Platinum R&C Into the Nexus for my first Plat of the year. 1 of 4 R&C games done.

 

@Squirlruler If it's not too late please adjust my starting stats to: 

Original Starting PCG: 92.18% > 93.73%

Goal: 97.18% > 98.73%

Total Points: 255300 > 256425

Total Started Games: 196 > 195

Total Completed Games: 172 > 173

Total Platinums: 159 > 160

 

I don't mind giving up the completion earned from R&C.

 

I think I will stick with streaming the PS3 games I want to finish before my PS+ Premium expires. I might spring for Extra when the time comes but I doubt they will be adding any new PS3 games to stream and Sony is not really doing much with Classic games right now. ?

 

Next paycheck is this coming week so I should be able to get my PS3 repaired by the end of this month and maybe start working on the in complete disc games I have on it. Looking forward to getting back to New Vegas!

 

[Llobster12]

Update 1

 

Completion Percentage: 86.23% --> 86.72% (+0.49%)

Goal: 91.23% ---- (-4.51% to reach goal)

 

Plats Earned: 103 --> 105 (+2)

Games Completed: 128 --> 130 (+2)

Trophies Earned: 4568 --> 4609 (+41)

Games Started: 150 --> 153 (+3)

 

I posted an increase this week, though that is deceiving. I started a couple of games that are on my list of games I will complete this year, but didn't pop a trophy in them, so my completion percentage didn't take the hit yet.

 

Games I played:

 

 God of War (PS4) 0% --> 1%

 

I wanted to make sure I finally got to this one this year, so I just played to pop the first trophy. I likely won't make any more progress until I finish some of my other games that I'm further along on. I liked what I saw so far though!

 

 Stray (PS5) 50ish% --> 100% Plat #104 completed!

 

Finished off this game and I really enjoyed it. I thought the setting was really interesting and would love to know more about the world of Stray. It was fun speculating with the environmental clues. The plat was pretty painless and was a nice break to play a short relaxing game between more demanding ones.

 

 Ratchet & Clank 2: Going Commando (PS3) 0% --> 0%

 

I'm a couple of hours in but haven't popped a trophy yet. I've meant to get more of this series played for a while and now I'm finally getting to it. So far so good!

 

 Last Stop (PS5) 50ish% --> 100% Plat #105 completed!

 

This is basically a Telltale game. There are 3 concurrent storylines that you play until they converge at the very final chapter. Some of the chapters were better than others, but things really picked up towards the end. Then the end took a pretty hard left turn into WTH territory and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I guess I don't regret playing it, but it's not a story that's going to stick with me either. It's one of the free games on PS Plus Extra so I guess it's a quick easy adventure game plat if anyone wants to check it out.

 

 Granblue Fantasy: Versus (PS4) 0% --> 0%

 

One of my goals this year was to complete a fighting game since there is a giant hole in my gaming knowledge in that genre. I think I'm mostly settled on this one since there is supposed to be a single player RPG-like mode that looks interesting. I've only dinked around with it for around 30 minutes and haven't gotten a trophy yet, so there is still time to change my mind, but if I do decide to go ahead on this one I will likely just play it occasionally and take a while to finish it.

 

 Tooth and Tail (PS4) 44% --> 46%

 

This is one of the old incomplete games from my backlog that I set a goal to go back and complete this year. I played through the story 5ish years ago and I absolutely love this game. The pixel art and sound are fantastic. The story is really great and the gameplay is really unique and fun. The trophies are pretty challenging though. There are trophies for beating all of the chapters while completing the "heroic" objective. I had managed all but 3 of them when I last played it. This week I got 2 of those 3. The last one is for the final mission and I've tried so far around 20 times and gotten close. I don't think it'll be too much more practice to get it. The remaining trophies are for online ranked play, which is why this game was in the "it scares me" category in my games left to complete. I believe that the developers added alternate methods to get a lot of the online trophies since I last played though. I think you can play random maps against different difficulties and quantities of CPU opponents to get the trophies, so I'll have to look further into that. The plat is really difficult, but the game is a serious hidden gem. I highly recommend people check this one out!

 

Games in progress that I didn't get to this week:

 

 Astroneer (PS4) (9%),  Lucky's Tale (PSVR) (90%),  Returnal (PS5) (9%),  It Takes Two (PS4) (31%)

 

A pretty decent start to the year, I think. This coming week I plan on focusing mainly on Tooth and Tail, Ratchet  Clank 2, and Returnal. It's been fun reading everyone's progress and goals, thanks to everyone for taking the time to post your progress!

 

Happy trophy hunting and good luck to everyone!

Hi all, I'm wanting to join again this year, got busy irl to be able to do much the second half of last year but I'd like to try again, it was a good community taking part. My starting percentage will be 76.05 % with a goal of reaching 81.05% by the end of the year. Got some Vita and PS3 backlog to work on, not seeing much in the way of PS5 games I have to play at the moment.

[gladiatorrrrrrr]

First update of the year!

 

I am going to use the same template as I used in the previous events, with an update on either Monday or Tuesday. As stated in my opening post , I will have limited game time during the next 2 months or so. Nevertheless I still can make some good progress but I have to pick my battles. So I am not going to focus on long(er) games right now, just games that either short/I can play in short bursts or take on some DLC. Also planning to pick up some short games from my ' non started backlog' .

 

The Walking Dead Season 1 - PS4 - 89% => 100%

Totally missed that this game had a DLC. Unfortunately after so many years I felt hardly any connection with the game content anymore. Lucky it was a short one and it is my first 100% completion game of the year.

 

Spirit of the North - PS5 - 1% => 100%

Decent indie game but with crappy jump controls. Pretty simple puzzles but nice music/environment. This year I am trying to play more games from the premium subscription.

 

FIFA18 - PS4 - 64% => 66%

Happy that I got the last pro club trophy done this weekend. Found a good boosting group. What I have left now should be doable, whereas getting into division 1 with FUT feels like a big grind.

 

Other than that I am playing Rainbow Six Siege, I still need 1 trophy but I am hoping it will come. Will only post an update on that game once I finally got that.

 

Current Status

 

 

Plans for next week:

- continue playing FIFA 18

- start Atlantis DLC of Assassins Creed Odyssey

 

Happy trophy hunting everybody!

Solid start to the year here though, long may it continue.

 

I think that getting to pg250 on the UK list is highly achievable.

 

There are 3 games on your profile that will help boost your percentage and up the leaderboards.

 

Formula 1 2016: Lots of easier trophies to pop off besides doing the championship runs. I can also help with the online too.

 

Rocket League: This game gives out trophies like sweets and it's so easy to cheese if you aren't enjoying it. Maybe time to give it a chance.

 

Wolfenstein: The New Order: You just have the final difficulty trophies, which if you don't fancy doing the whole game, you can just do the fiirst mission and then load up the last mission and complete it from there. Another plat in the bag.

I always learn something in this tread! These are two games that are in my unfinished backlog too.

@wolfenstein: you play the last chapter also in higher difficulty and than the game  ; thinks you did the whole game?

Yes basically.

So if you have finished the game on any other difficulty (normal for example) then you load up the last chapter on über and then when you beat the boss (which you can also cheese by hiding under stairs) it will unlock any difficulties you haven't completed yet.

so basically most difficulties stack when playing and defeat the games on the hardest difficultie those games like uncharted on crushing
