Wrong @. I'm not even in this event at all. 🙃

 

Ack, that's what happens when I'm updating in several PSNP events back-to-back-to-back! 😂 //facepalm

 

Meant to say @blu3st4rdust305, apologies!

As for a test for yourself...... I ran thru your backlog of uncompleted games and there are some gems left on the vine (Sayonara Wild Hearts, Deux Ex Human Revolution, c'mon - also, Magicka 2 is on my backlog)

 

There is also a notable absence from your log. 

 

I will provide a choice of 2 games, one you already have in your backlog to finish up and one new addition perfect for this event. Neither too tough or super long. Take your pick:

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - The whole world of Batman is pretty dark and spooky. Plus a lot of people dressed up as a Batman character at some point for Halloween. 

OR

Alien: Isolation - Scary, survival game. I played it for the event last year and I loved it. Pretty heart pounding at moments and there is a section, near the end, which is full of cheap scares. 

 

What is the notable absence may I ask?

 

I think I will try and get Blackgate off my profile for this event. As much as Alien: Isolation looks fun, I'm trying to get games off my profile at the moment (Top 50 time - 1 days, 21 hours: 46% completion), so Batman is a good choice.

 

I would also like to ask whether I can add Sea of Stars (which I recently finished) as a game for my list (Top 50 time - 5 days, 10 hours: 0% completion)? Mostly because the main bad guy is called the Fleshmancer and there is a lot of body horror later in the game.

 

Also, I will be adding Freakout: Calamity TV Show for another game (Top 50 time - 7hrs 58mins: 36% completion) because it's crazy, gory and you have to survive Mad Max style in arenas against Creepers, Chickens, FatGuys, Spartans and explosives.

 

There may be more but I need to get in gear to survive this slasher...

Quick update as i've finished another of my first three games and also put in work on some extra games. Finished RE Village and man with the Shadow of Rose DLC and Lady D Legendary Cowboy was an absolute breeze. Also almost done with It Takes Two which has a horror section and is also pretty halloweeny with various costumes and themes, and also working on Mortal Kombat 1 which I hope I can finish before the end of the event since that one trophy still hasnt be revealed how to get it.

 

My List

 

1. Star Wars: Tales From Galaxy's Edge (PSVR2) - 0% -> 100% COMPLETE

2. Resident Evil Village (PS4) - 0% -> 100% COMPLETE (including DLC)

3. Alan Wake Remastered (PS5) - 0%

4. It Takes Two (PS5) - 0% -> 90% (in progress)

5. Mortal Kombat 1 - 0% -> 81% (in progress)

Oh - I didn't realize that It Takes Two was suited to this event, awesome! Perhaps I can convince the husband to take breaks from AC: Mirage to play it with me in the next few weeks. 😂

Sorry, did not mean for it to be cryptic. Absence would be Alien: Isolation. Added your new games. The cut off looks like it is going to be pretty low unless a few people pile on some points. If you think about it, there is a little bit of gamesmanship to the rules.....

@pelagia14 It Takes Two does not count on either platform. Great game, though.

 

Otherwise, updated.  I am cutting off game additions at the deadline just so that I can have a chance to count up and update the spreadsheet. Please try to update your profile if you are on 24 hour timeline. 

 

I am adding one more to my list. Decided I wanted something mindless and lighter in nature, so I decided to cross off Zombieland Double Tap: Road Trip from my backlog. It is nice, fairly easy twin stick shooter. Much better than Big Drunk Satanic Massacre from last my list last year, but not quite as engaging or rewarding as Dead Nation. Zombies abound, obviously. You pick up weapons from car trunks or random caches in the landscape. They are finite use and you can only carry one. Explosives are a separate ammo counter, but you can only carry 1 type of explosive at any given time.  It is alright time. Platinum is also easy and straightforward, mild grind.

 

I also, booted up Bound by Flame and played thru the tutorial and oh, boy..... it is going to be a rough hang. I might clear out a few other lighter/sillier games first. I am open to recommendations of games that have a brighter color palette. I am eyeing Ghostbusters or Guacamelee, but not sold yet.

 

Zombi - 50th fastest is 1 day, 12 hours. - 0->100% - 3.29% ✅

Slain: Back from Hell - 50th fastest is 1 day, 22 hours - 0%->100% - 4.07% ✅

Bound by Flame (PS4) - 50th fastest is 1 day, 23 hours - 0%

The Quarry (PS4) - 50th fastest is 2 days, 8 hours - 0->100% - 11.73% ✅

Zombieland Double Tap: Road Trip - 50th fastest is 11 hours, 12 minutes - 0->100% - 24.97% ✅

Running Total: 755.94

An update from me...

Finished up Serial Cleaner a while back and forgot to update on here. Great little game though, I had a good time with it overall. Would've been soo good to play on the Vita, but it is what it is. I'll likely end up buying the sequel down the road at some point if I can catch it on sale. I think I'll be able to squeeze in 1 more plat this week before the killer strikes for the 1st time on Sat. 

 

Updated List

-Doom 2016 (PS4) 17%->66% 

-Nun Massacre (PS4) 0%->100% 

-Serial Cleaner (PS4) 0% ->100% 

-Dead Space (PS3) 0% 50th Fastest Achiever- 1 day, 8 hours

-Shady Part of Me (PS4) 0% 50th Fastest Achiever- 6 hours, 27 minutes

-Welcome to Hanwell (PS4) 0% 50th Fastest Achiever- 2 days, 13 hours

-The Darkness II (PS3) 0% 50th Fastest Achiever- 19 hours, 9 minutes

 

Adding...

-Dysmantle (PS5) 4% 50th Fastest Achiever- 6 days, 3 hours - In this survival horror game you play as a scavenger in a post apocalyptical world that's been overrun by zombies. The goal is to try and escape the city by Dysmantling 😏every and all things you come across to upgrade/build tools & weapons to help you on the journey.

I wonder if our ideas of gamesmanship are the same 😄I don't think it will come to that for me, but I definitely know what to do if I need points in a hurry! I do absolutely love the ruleset though, in terms of the limit on # of games making it more strategic + the elimination aspect in general. It's definitely a format that aligns with things I find interesting.

I played this game when it came out on PC and found it pretty rough. The guide on Trueachievements does make it incredibly easy and simple to get the plat, but probably at the cost of some sanity.

 

Looking through your list I have three suggestions: Witcher 3, Sleeping Dogs, and Evil Within. Evil Within is not the most colourful game in the world but it does have a lot of environmental variety and looks great even nearly 10 years after release. The no death mode isn't even that bad once you get past the first few levels and have some upgrades. Witcher 3 is a little long for this event but it absolutely blows something like Bound By Flame out of the water, and I would argue definitely qualifies because you fight lots of creatures commonly associated with Halloween. Sleeping Dogs is quite colourful as you explore the city of Hong Kong, plus it's a quality game that doesn't overstay its welcome. I think it qualifies for the event mainly due to the "Nightmare in North Point" DLC where you have to fight ghosts/demons.

I will say that Bound by Flame is a long game, may take you until the end of the event to complete. 

Ghostbusters (the one which is based off of the original cast) is a great game if you enjoyed the style and humour of the movies from the 80's. It has the same cast (literally) and acts like a third movie in the original ghostbuster universe. Completing it on hard is not difficult and is a fun little romp. 

Guacamelee! is one of my favourite platformer games with all the 'metroidvania' elements. It's silly enough to be fun and serious enough to be in parts like a dark comedy. I've completed it more than 4 times, so I am biased but it is an excellent game. Just watch out for the double entrendres.

 

Also have you considered adding a table sheet to see who is leading the pack and who is closest to be culled?

[MrHealthy]

Update time. At my first update I had taken a break from Inscryption as Kaycee's mod was kicking my ass. Well I have come back and finished it as well as started Savage Halloween. I also have more games to declare after very careful consideration. Also good to see some more people using the PSNP+ list feature! It's not perfect but it certainly saves a lot of time formatting lists.

 

Inscryption / 0% - 100% / Rarest obtained trophy: 11.93%

 

I tried to do Kaycee's Mod legit. But my god the challenge runs have absolute bullshit RNG. After 6 hours of playing with absolutely zero progress and crazy amounts of frustration I threw in the towel. From then on I cheesed the rest of the mode using save scumming and RNG manipulation. It was a really unfun way to play that mode, but considering that even doing this it still took me many many hours to beat all 12 challenge runs, plus a all skulls on run, and all 8 starter decks used to win. I gotta be honest if it wasn't for this event, and the fact that I have a dual screen setup so I could watch star trek on the side, I probably would have dropped this game and not bothered with Kaycee's mod.

 

I still really liked act's 1 and 3 of the story. But act 2 and Kaycee's mod were real downers. Overall I think what I disliked out weighs what I liked.

Savage Halloween / 0% - 74% / Rarest obtained trophy: 7.23%

 

Did my first play through of this knocking out all the story trophies and the normal difficult trophy and some misc trophies. Wow this is a hidden gem. It's a really well made retro run and gun that you can tell a lot of love went into. It also has a lot of homages to other games, like clear castlevania, contra, mega man design elements. Even has sections that are like magical girl shmups, a car / mad max style shmup, and a section that I am positive is referencing the infamous TMNT undwater dam level as it's the same colour scheme. Despite being a fairly short game to do a single run through of (about 2 hours) it keeps mixing it up with some different types of mechanics and crazy bosses to keep in interesting the entire way. The game also has 3 different characters with different stats and abilities to further mix it up. The music is a little repetitive but does have a strong halloween vibe and I must admit I found myself bopping to a few tracks.

 

As far as trophies go I still have to do a playthrough without dying and a hardcore playthrough as well as clearing the game with the other 2 characters I didn't use the first time. I can stack the character playthroughs with the other 2 so that is not so bad. The no death playthrough seems reasonable as long as I take my time and use the level knowledge I gained from the first playthrough and use the highest health werewolf character. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to do the hardcore playthrough though as that is a 1 hit kill mode and there are several sections and bosses that I have no idea how to avoid damage in. Honestly the hardcore playthrough might block me from the plat.

New game declarations:

 

The Last Door - 0% / 50th fastest time: 1 week, 21 hours

Billed as a horror, drama point and click adventure set in a creepy Victorian England manor. On the easier side but should get me some more points on the board because lets be real, at my current pace I will not finish 13 games.

Super Skelemania - 0% / 50th fastest time: 14 hours, 49 minutes (NA stack)

A mini metoridvania staring a scary spooky skeleton. This should be a bit more light hearted and another easier one to get points on the board.

Melty Blood: Type Lumina - 0% / 50th fastest time: 10 hours, 40 minutes

Anime fighting game featuring vampires and demons and the like. Choosen mostly because I don't like playing the same types of games all in a row, so a fighting game will be a good mix up. Don't expect it to be scary or anything, but knowing almost nothing about melty blood I am curious how far the horror theming goes.

Little Nightmares - 63% / 50th fastest time: 20 hours, 44 minutes
Creepy horror themed 2.5D platformer. Been looking for some motivation to finish this off. Been trying the avoid games I have already started to maximize points but the rarest trophy in this is UR so I am making an exception here.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game - 0% / 50th fastest time: 1 day, 1 hour

Classic and absolutely awesome ghostbusters game. What more needs to be said? I played the original release, but never got the plat, so this will be nice to do since I do genuinely love the game.

That puts me at 11 games. I have 2 slots left and 3 games I want to use. Will probably decide depending on point needs a little later into the event.

UPDATE:

Finished the DLC of Ghostwire Tokyo, 2 trophies. +20 hours....... at least 5 hours of that were dealing with RNG, anyway, I still like that game.

also ERICA: finished. This is a movie game, with the difference that you don't pick your choices by pressing buttons, is all the trackpad, which it takes some time to really understand how that thing works. Anyway story wise the game says you have to play multiple times to understand everything, which is interesting, most of the time we have seen shows or movies that sometimes they don't explain some aspects, and I thinks that is part of every person story, not every mystery will be solved.... well anyway, this game does make you look at different angles, and I don't know what is the real deal with this story. I don't want to spoil or anything but it seems like they leave it to interpret everything, just because there is one specific interaction that put into question everything that I thought about the story. Anyway cool game, some spooky stuff here and there.

 

Also @blu3st4rdust305 I noticed that you filled The Last of Us instead of Ghostwire, I know is hard to see that mistake when you are filling multiple tiles.

I will once I go thru the entire list tomorrow. Lots of moving targets with games being played constantly. I have tried to catch all completions and, of course, any updates in the thread. After each cull, I will post the point list, so that everyone left knows where they stand.

You had approx 19% in Far Cry 4 before the event. I have adjusted on the sheet.

 

I am adding Deadlight Director's Cut. Shadows are zombies. Zombie apocalypse, survival with limited capacity to fight back or run. Fits the bill. 

 

Zombi - 50th fastest is 1 day, 12 hours. - 0->100% - 3.29% ✅

Slain: Back from Hell - 50th fastest is 1 day, 22 hours - 0%->100% - 4.07% ✅

Bound by Flame (PS4) - 50th fastest is 1 day, 23 hours - 0%

The Quarry (PS4) - 50th fastest is 2 days, 8 hours - 0->100% - 11.73% ✅

Zombieland Double Tap: Road Trip - 50th fastest is 11 hours, 12 minutes - 0->100% - 24.97% ✅

Deadlight Director's Cut - 50th fastest is 1 day, 2 hours - 0->37% - 24.26%

Running Total: 868.68

 

We are about 14 hours out from Freddy's strike. @PowerSerge_93  @Cassylvania heads up!

Things are going to be tight now that there is an elimination every week.

You’re right, my bad. Thankfully you are attentive 😂

[InfinateEternity]

Hey, all! With the first elimination being tonight, I wanted to make sure I posted an update. I did get at least 1 game completed, and made some decent progress in Nier. (I finally got the gold, fishing and crop farming grinds done, and have made more progress on the story). Also, thanks to everyone in the thread who has been using the PSNP+ table feature. I didn't know that was possible, and it's made prepping for this post so much easier rather than continuing to use the table I created in my previous post, instead.

 

Current Games / Progress:

 

Icon	Game	Platform	Progress	Rarities	Completion
	The Quarry	PS4	41/41 - 100%	🏆 11.96% / 💯 11.96%	🟩
	NieR	PS3	17/42 - 28%	🏆 7.74% / 💯 7.74%	🟦
	Star Trek	PS3	11/50 - 16%	🏆 4.93% / 💯 4.93%	🟦
	Trinity Universe	PS3	2/37 - 2%	🏆 4.58% / 💯 4.58%	🟦
	Balan Wonderworld	PS4	0/47 - 0%	🏆 7.44% / 💯 7.44%	🟥

🟥 = not started • 🟦 = started • 🟩 = complete

I won't say much about The Quarry, since several others have already spoken about it. But, I will agree that it was a great story to go through once. The characters were interesting, the graphics were lovely, and overall, the game reminded me of Until Dawn in the best way. But, going back for additional playthoughs via chapter select or by doing a new game for the remaining trophies was just as agonizing as others have described. Really, a feature where you could save before choices (in the actual game), go to a specific scene in chapter select (instead of re-doing the entire chapter), or even skip scenes you'd already read/seen (included in many visual novels) would have been greatly appreciated.

 

With that being said, I'll go ahead and declare 3 more games, as I'm hoping to have some more completions on the board before the second round of eliminations (assuming I make it through tonight, of course).

 

Games I'd like to add:

 

1. Days Gone (0%) - 50th fastest time - 1 Week, 1 Day

• This game features zombie-like creatures (known as "freakers")

2. Devil May Cry 1 (PS3) (1% before event) - 50th fastest time - 1 Day, 9 Hours

• The protagonist, Dante, is a human-demon hybrid. Plus, the game features other demonic monsters.

3. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - Remastered (0%) - 50th fastest time - 6 Days, 19 Hours

• The main antagonist of the game is a witch.

 

[Cassylvania]

*bursts through the door at the last minute*

 

I'm not licked yet! While I made absolutely zero progress on any of the three games I declared, I DID play a game called Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle (0% --> 100%) that fits for this event (50th fastest time = 5 days, 9 hours). I wouldn't call the game scary, but it takes place in what I assume is a possessed mansion. It's sorta like a kid-friendly escape room game.

 

I'm also going to declare Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5 version) (0% --> 28%). Any superhero game fits for the holiday, I think.

 

I'd declare Atelier Marie Remake and Dandara too, but I don't know what percentage I started at with the first game (I got most of the trophies in August) and I'm not sure I have a good argument for how the second game fits the event. Spooky environments or something, I guess. I dunno. I'll come up with something later if I survive the first elimination.

While I made absolutely zero progress on any of the three games I declared, I DID play a game called Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle (0% --> 100%) that fits for this event (50th fastest time = 5 days, 9 hours). I wouldn't call the game scary, but it takes place in what I assume is a possessed mansion. It's sorta like a kid-friendly escape room game.

 

I'm also going to declare Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5 version) (0% --> 28%). Any superhero game fits for the holiday, I think.

 

I'd declare Atelier Marie Remake and Dandara too, but I don't know what percentage I started at with the first game (I got most of the trophies in August) and I'm not sure I have a good argument for how the second game fits the event. Spooky environments or something, I guess. I dunno. I'll come up with something later if I survive the first elimination.

 

Atelier Marie seems to have been approx. 60% before the event, if that helps

 

Sheet updated with new games declared. I will tally up the points tomorrow and post the results and announce the next slasher on the prowl.

 

I did not expect to finish Deadlight before the cut-off. I was convinced between Survival and Nightmare mode, I was going to be stymied for longer. 

 

The game was better than I expect based on the posts and guides out there. The game is a 2-D action survival platformer. It tells a poorly realized story about survivors during a zombie apocalypse, but there is also some Ratman in the sewers and The Law as another faction. None of it makes sense and is pieced together by your character gruffly speaking during segments of you running around. The payoff at the end is empty when it is clear the developers wanted to land an impactful revelation. The gameplay itself is good enough. The platforming is mostly forgiving and the survival elements are not stifling. You rarely will find yourself without ammo and there is often a means of pushing a horde away just enough to get away.  The game is short and most of the trophy list is downright easy.

 

The first play thru was slow and meant for the collectibles. I died quite a bit due to carelessness and having difficulties with the controls. They controls are stiff, but react as expected once you get the hang of them. 

 

Survival mode is an arena mode with two tough trophies. The 200 kills ends up being more about timing and rhythm as the spawns are somewhat predictable. These trophies did take several tried.

 

Nightmare mode is where this game earns its UR platinum status. No save mode. If you die, you start at the beginning of the act. If you quit, you lose your progress altogether. There are 3 acts, which are about 20-40 minutes long each depending on how careful you play. The guides point to Act 2 as the frustrating one, which I can see how it can be frustrating. It is the longest by a wide margin and the first few scenes have lots of opportunities for cheap deaths. Once I escaped from the sewers, I gunned it thru the end without fail on the first try. Act 3 however was where I suffered. The first collapsing building and the last chase sequence caused many deaths. There was even one instant where my character fell thru the floor and out of the geometry of the level. My heart dropped about as far as my character was falling. I learned that the Restart option on the pause menu takes you to the start of the Act and not the entire game, thankfully! Final clock on Nightmare mode was: 1 hour and 18 minutes.

Works for me. It fits the theme because of magic, but I wasn’t sure how to calculate my percentage at the start of the month. I took a screenshot, but I haven’t had access to my computer for a few weeks.

Hi all,

 

finished two of my games:

 

Spiritfarer - was a really nice game. Liked the gameplay a lot and how the story slowly unfolds.

 

Hades - really nice game. Loved the interaction between the son of Hades and the narrator. Took my 142 escape attempes to finish the game and that was the only drawback for me. After a while it was really boring.

 

Right know i am working on Psychonauts. Love the game but collecting the frigments is kiling me.

 

Would like to add Hotel Transylvania.

Well I got very lucky in the first round. I will have to really push the boat out to survive longer.

[Arctic Cress]

Making a mid-week update so I can declare Lollipop Chainsaw and its weird zombie killing to the list. I mostly jumped through a bunch of the games on my list trying to figure out what to play next. Also added the rarest trophies for the uncompleted games so blu3 has less work to do overall - the completed games are self explanatory.

Updated. The next strike is very soon. Time to pile on those points. 

 

I am adding Vampyr. Interesting concept, setting, systems, etc. It is a RPG action game about a revived vampire doctor in London during the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. The story makes as much sense a lore-heavy vampire tale could. Don't Nod certainly gave this one a good try and overall it is a solid effort.

 

Two draw backs for me were the entirety of London looked the same. I am constantly lost and going around in circles because the world is a labyrinth of same looking alleys and very few landmarks. Also, the game crashed a ton. I have a high tolerance for jank and unstable games, but this one was bad. I think the game outright crashed about 20 times on me. All it takes is dashing a little too far out of a range of baddies into a different range of baddies or having a group of baddies chase you into a new titled area and boom, crash. This is compounded by some pretty long load screens, and you are in for a frustrating time.

 

The gameplay is fine. Combat is challenging, if a bit repetitive.  There is plenty of help out there for pointers on tough encounters. There is lots of looting, crafting, conversation trees, critical decisions, leveling and skill trees, just like almost all Western RPGs. The graphics are also pretty good. Again, it feels like the developer pushed as far as they could with the overall production value.

 

The trophy list is not forgiving. Missable collectibles and getting all of the weapons directly contradict a game-long requirement of not killing NPCs. Coupled with the fact that NPCs are the largest source of EXP in the game, means the game requires completion under the most underleveled circumstances possible. There are a bunch of guides out there to help navigate this messy list.

 

Decided to make Ghostbusters my next game. After the dark and dreary Vampyr, Ghostbusters starts out like a breath of fresh (recycled 80's(?)) air. I can see what they are doing with this and it is very much appreciated. Hope I can knock it out before the next cut off. 

 

I think Bound by Flame will follow Ghostbusters, just to get it over with.

I haven't completed any more of my games unfortunately because I've been balls deep in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I don't know why it never dawned on me to add this game cause it's perfect for this event. Most fun I've had playing a multiplayer game in years and I'm pretty close to the plat as well. Might as well add to my points before the killer strikes again.
