I told you so. I have no idea why the guide states 80 hours if pretty much anyone completes it in half the time and also in one playthrough instead of two. Anyway, I am glad I motivated you to give this game a chance. Funnily our gaming-path crosses again with Metal Gear Rising. After I'll have finished Beyond Good and Evil I will too focus on MGR. My only concern at the moment are the prices for the DLCs which are crazy high for a 11 years old game you can buy for like 5€. 

Also Red Dead Redemption 2 and Trackmania are on my backlog for the nearest future. Planing on doing one of them for my platinum #200. 

Let's see if one of us is able to complete Metal Gear Rising this year. 

The DLCs are free on the NA store, if you can get an NA copy of the game for cheaper than the cost of EU DLCs. I think I bought the NA game on a sale for 4 or 5$ when they still did those on ps3.

Third game complete - Pumped BMX + (1.17%). Had a lot of fun with this one over the past week or so. This game reminded me of computer class in secondary school where instead of paying attention we'd be playing flash games that were of similar ilk to this one! 😂 

 

The game has a bit of a learning curve but it does a good job of minimising difficulty spikes throughout. There were definitely a few levels that had me frustrated at times but for the most part the levels were a blast to get through. Generally the difficulty lies in a select few target tricks, but a handful of levels had a few nasty high scores to reach. My PS5 says I spent 14 hours with this game which I'd say is fairly accurate.

 

I managed to get a completion time of exactly 20 minutes, which landed me at number 21 on the fastest achievers leaderboard so I'm pretty happy with that! Unsure as to what game I'll work through next, I'll decide over the coming week.

Dishonored 0.85% ( 1 UR  4.88%)

 

Holy Fuckaroodle.  This turned out to be more than i bargained for.  A 3/10 diff game with a 9/10 dlc.  Its been sitting there for 7 long years mocking me for popping 2 trophies, so i finally started it up for the worst of all reasons, to increase my completion percentage.   Its the first and last first person game i ll ever play on PS for the main reason that i feel incredibly ill from the fps camera.  

 

The base game is incredible, i played it at launch on pc, and loved it.   Most trophies not too bad, and easy enough that i didnt really need the guide.  Knife of Dunwell was the classic boringass dlc.  Witches of Brigmore? was pretty good, kind of the Gay Tonys Ballad to GTA4s dismal Lost and the Damned.  Better than base game, and fun.  And DLC 1, the infamous Trials of Dunwell.

 

Its quite difficult.  Void Star Trophy which is 3 star all normal and expert challenge trials is not too bad, probably no more than an hour or 2 for the harder ones, and 10 mins for the easier.  Hard enough that even after completing the game and other dlc you have to learn to play the game in a way you havent before.   I liked it.  Fun challenges that have been lovingly created.  Headhunter Trophy has a glitch that trivializes the challenge, but i couldn t do it after an hour on PS5 so did it legit.   This is a royal PITA trophy, requiring 100% headshots on Assassins including a long distance shot at the end that requires some serious practice.  

 

Then theres the 2 rng monsters, Daredevil and By my hand alone.  Daredevil requires 6 special jumps in 1 run.  It would be seriously frustrating if the minigame wasnt so much fun.  It took 4 hours after getting 3 stars to get the first rng possibility and i luckily didnt choke.  You can do it much sooner if you can do 30+ lightbeams but i m not that coordinated, so sub 20 took a while. The starting 2 special jumps take up half of your time before you even get playing.   Every mistake compounds, and consistent routing and having a gameplan for most eventualities is key.  The special jumps take more time to setup and getting a lightbeam sequence thats workable is rare.  4 hours rare.

 

By My Hand Alone trophy requires killing all enemies in 12 rounds of Back Alley Brawl.  Shit goes so wrong so fast.  In the first 5 rounds 3-4 enemies that can 1 shot each other randomly spawn then immediately sprint towards each other and often ruin the trophy within seconds.  At round 6 you get Bend Time, which is critical for slowing it down.  Once the Bigbois turn up you get one splitsecond qte chance at dropkills and if you miss it, thats the 10+ min run over.   They fire about 2 seconds into the round instakilling their rival faction target.  Resources are limited and you are forced to ration for the last couple levels.  The whale oil method is ok, but sometimes for no obvious reason they explode while being placed ending a likely good run.  I put in 4 hours and really got nowhere, but my second session i started to get a decent strat going and had 2 arrivals at level 12 with all kills with a 5 min gap between the first and my winning run.  Basically level 1-6 wait a second to see where spawns are running to fight, follow, and whale oil/mop up survivors. Ignore any single enemies that are focused on you, can mop them up at end of round.  7-8 bend time and clean up.  level 9 leave the top assassin alive and set 5 whale oils at both bigboi spawns. Level 10 trigger the whale oil and fast cleanup.  Level 11 i dropkill if close, and restore far oil if used.  Level 12 drop kill close bigboi, crossbow the far one with oil stash and run around like a maniac looking for a non watch faction member to secure the win.  Then kill griff and its done.  I think it took me about 100 starts to get it done.  I wouldnt rely on luck, but try and learn a lot about the different rounds and how to approach them.  Know when griff is coming. I tried to preserve ammo for later, but if there was a crowd fighting, i used whatever it took to shut it down asap.  

 

I m impressed, its a really good challenge dlc, where most tend to annoy me.  A lot of work went into getting it just right,  and i enjoy trophy challenges that are a little absurd sometimes.  

 

Thats Tier one completed.

Demon lord.  5%  NA stack.

 

Noticed this morning that this is now UR.  Completed Jan 1.  Funny stats, 20 owners, 1 x 100% achiever, 5 trophies popped(4 of which are mine) on a 2/10 diff game.   Its probably because its a boring dungeon crawler, similar in look to 1980's BARDS TALE  etc which is what sold me on it, minus the boring bit which i didn t know yet.  Its more of a missed opportunity, the foundation is strong, but theres nothing really worthwhile built on it. Art is great, theres an ok combat system, and yep, you should probably get some graph paper and make a map as you go unless you like being very lost.  Cruise around 5 dungeon levels with random encounters that start off wiping your party often.  Without spoiling it, there isnt much story or anything really.   I guess i ve never considered what bards tale would look like without being an rpg before, with only the tavern cellars as a dungeon.  I think i enjoyed it for about half the time, then the rest was just repetitive.  Theres already a guide up if you are interested.

2/5 Games Completed

 

So.... Time for another update I guess, I finally finished up Grand Theft Auto IV, well a week ago actually, but I forgot to put an update in here about it, so I guess I'd better do that now.

 

It sure is nice to have it finished, and my time with it was a bit of an up and down one. I've always enjoyed the game a lot, and I much prefer it to Grand Theft Auto V, I'm not saying it's better or necessarily making that claim, I just prefer it.

 

It's grey, it's sludgy, and I think it's fair to say....

 

 

 

But I do think it's a pretty enjoyable time.... They may have been frustrating at times, to do the 100% requirements, for The Ballad of Gay Tony, but my goodness are they satisfying and they really let you learn the game inside out. In a way, you'd never initially think you'd be able to play the game in such a streamlined yet satisfying fashion. Which is the sort of thing I really will always dig about trophy hunting, as it gives you the chance to experience a game in a way that you never expected to.

 

The erm... Online side of the game can get in the bin though, even though I did have a pretty simplified time with this one, as my girlfriend and I boosted this one together, I just don't enjoy mad multiplayer grinds... and also I think we both have about five copies of GTAIV now ..... so erm, that's a thing

 

I'm looking to fire up The Last Guardian and start that in the next week or so, although I might take a quick detour into BioShock 2, so I expect the next thing I post about in here will probably be The Last Guardian, but you really never know with me 🤣

 

Keep the updates coming, and I'll catch you in the next one!!

Yakuza 5 PS3 Stack 

 

What a long and exciting game to finally play. It was a very enjoyable experience and thankfully none of the minigames were that hard but I expect that to change in Yakuza 3.

[Vergil]

 

 

Yay got my first ultra rare this year, Chaos Code.  Nothing really hard about it. Survival could pose some trouble however. A nice small fighting game

TIER 1  COMPLETE !

 

1) Limbo (VITA) - 3.44% Rarity  (Completed 7th January)

2) Outlast - 1.35% Rarity  (Completed 22nd January)

3) The Finals - 0.05% Rarity      (Completed 25th January)
4) Outlast 2 - 1.33% Rarity        (Completed 29th January)

5) OlliOlli World (PS5)  - 1.34% Rarity          (Completed 24th February)

 

OlliOlli World is my last plat for Tier 1!

 

I played this game in the past so going back to this felt really good. This game is easily one of my favorite indie games ever, Top 10 for sure! The mechanics and amount of depth in the tricks and level design are some of the best things I've ever seen in a 2D platforming game. The game is very rewarding and satisfying when you complete challenges and beating your friend's scores on the leaderboards! Okay that's enough praise for this masterpiece lol.

 

The reason it's UR is mainly because of the Radysus Challenges, with many of them being tricky or lengthy to do. But first you would have to basically complete most of the game first, while also doing all of the challenges and high scores needed. Some can be very weird  where they make you do stuff you wouldn't normally do, or some are just plain brutal in its difficulty or length of the challenge. IMO the first and fourth worlds of the game have the hardest challenges, as some challenges require really precise jumps or tricks to do. There are also some grindy misc trophies but can be quickly done in the last level of the main game. The DLCs are far easier than the base game too, and really adds more mechanics to this already amazing game. I personally rate this platinum a 7/10 difficulty when it was all said and done!

 

Tier 2 games probably: Crash Bandicoot 4, Black Ops 1 or Devil May Cry 4 (idk yet lol)

Tier 1 UPDATE!

• King of Fighters XIV - COMPLETE!
• The Last of Us Remastered - COMPLETE!

Not too much to say about this game that everyone doesn't know, played it on an alt on PS3 but never went for the plat because of the online trophies, thought it was an Ok game and very overrated, later with the hype of TLoU2 release and knowing that the online trophies now were easier then I went for the online trophies before the release of the second part, loved TLoU2 even more than the first part, and watched the TV series... Now it was time of finishing this already started trophy list on my profile. Don't know if it was playing the game three times, or just reliving the story after playing the second part but this time the game really got me, the story was so simple but so well done, the little details, the Ellie-Joel interactions (personally I think that the series never got that), the grounded run when you really pay attention for more details show how well done is this game, really loved it and I'm glad that trophies made me play this again and I just didnt keep my overrated opinion from 2013.

 

Trophy wise is a very doable plat, the online is VERY enjoyable, didnt had to boost anything, you could get everything just playing normally and you dont even need to be good (Did the online on 2019 dont know the state of the online nowadays), the Grounded run (not needed for plat but for 100%) is very doable using the reverse chapter selection method, everything else is just getting collectibles... A lot of them...

Finally done with Tier 1, Quake PS5 completed!

 

Tier 1

• Jump Force  
• Stick Fight 
• Jet Car Stunts 💯 
• Quake
• Sifu PS5 +💯

My first Tier wasn't filled with the best of games, but Quake remedied this. I absolutely loved this game, Nightdive Studios did a fantastic job with this remake. 

There's something about old retro shooters that makes them enjoyable even after 28 years 😂

 

Anyway let's announce a tentative Tier 2...

 

Tier 2

• Wet
• Red Faction
• Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS4)
• Ziggurat NA Stack
• Quantum Conundrum

Wow...this time I haven't added Mirror's Edge and Catherine (shut up Baker!!)

[ssestig1989]

Declaring myself in for this.

 

I'll be looking at completing Don Bradman Cricket (1.24%) and F1 17 (3.67%) as my first two games in this.

 

F1 14 and 15 also on my current backlog that I would be likely to complete that are well below 5% for the plat.

Wondering whether or not I can claim the Dead by Daylight bounty with the latest DLC pack 34 that came out on 31th January 2024 and its trophy Shine on sitting at 4.91% on PS5.

I know the rule is 1 month but since February is shorter, just wanted to confirm as the rarity is getting close to 5%.

Yep. If you never claimed the bounty before, if you pop that trophy today and your list is 100% , you get the bounty 😁

I mean, if it's March 1st at your place, that is 😆

[Shyjun]

Thank you for the answer, it is perfect! I already had the game 100% on PS5 before the new year so I was hoping there would be an UR DLC pack during the year as it is quite rare on PS5 stack. I will get my chance to claim the bounty now because I am not sure there will be another one for me 😁

 

One more game added to my tier 1 and my second bounty.

 

Tier 1:

1/ Slay the Spire (3.54%) Q3 Bounty

2/ Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (3.56%)

3/ Dead by Daylight PS5 (DLC Pack 34 - Shine on trophy 4.91%) Q4 Bounty

Now that I discovered PSNP+ I thought I would post a list here with games I’m planning to do.

 

I will ‘probably’ not finish all these games but I will give it a try. I own them all except Akai Katana Shin (which looks like a great challenge) so I’m waiting for a sale for that game. And I expect FF VII Rebirth to be UR in a month’s time. If not, I’ll remove it ofcourse.

Edited March 1 by Baker

[dertswa687o]

I finished Yakuza Kiwami a while ago but forgot to post here. I'll also add Star Ocean 4 and FF7R to the list, which I presume will be UR.

 

Tier 1:

Armello 

The Escapists 

Yakuza Kiwami 

Star Ocean: The Last Hope

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Good luck if you go for it! I might go for Deathsmiles later this year.

Thanks. I never heard of this game until I saw you playing it and then I saw you wrote the guide too. I might be in touch when I play it. 😀

 

I looked at Deathsmiles too but AKS looked more appealing to me. And after reading some forum posts it’s supposedly a bit easier too.

[Copanele]

Hey all! Just a small reminder that there is no more time limit for the bounties 😁in case anyone missed that previous post. This means that you can do Q1 bounties in Q2 and still get the points! 

 

And yes I will remove the "Quarter" part next year 😆to avoid further confusion!
