The Ultra Rare Cleanup 2024

Wanted: Dead 1.22%

 

Our 2nd game of tier 3 is done and it's Wanted: Dead sitting at 1.22%. This game is the best bad game I've ever played in my entire life. The combat is janky at the start but once you learn the mechanics and figure out what moves you can cancel into the game feels entirely different and flows so much better. Some of the things the devs did with this game are quite odd. For example, there's a Karaoke minigame that functions the same as Yakuza's, but it only has one song and it's 99 Luftballoons, and it sounds exactly like it'd sound if I sang it, which is terrible. And I love that about it xD. The voice actors for this game are also interesting. They sound like they were held at gunpoint since the lack of emotion in some sections is quite odd to me, but the story didn't matter much anyway at the end of the day, the combat made up for it. I sincerely hope the devs get a chance to make a new game or at least heavily improve upon this one. There's so much minigame stuff and combat potential and I enjoyed this one a lot.

Tier 2 update

 

BOUNTY- Disco Elysium 3.77%

 

Actually really loved this one! Did a quick skim of the trophy list/guide and saw a horrific number of missable trophies etc, so made a soft mental note of some of the trophy requirements so that i could just do a semi-blind playthrough. The mental note meant i knew to make a load of extra saves to be able to go back and clean up easier once i had enjoyed the game as intended. That said i did have a torrid time with a few trophies, but that didnt take away from the artistry and deep writing the game got. I can see why it won so many awards. Would deffo recommend.

 

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty 2.75%

 

Saw that one of the 3 playthroughs simply required ensuring to kill so many Mudokons, and not rescuing any, so used that for a blind playthrough. This was as much fun as back in the early PS days, and even with following a guide for the rescue 299 playthrough, managed 3:06 mins on that playthrough, so was easy to shave those minutes off for the speedrun trophy. Will do Oddworld Soulstorm at some point soon i think.

 

Also now pretty close on Bus Sim and Tropico. Only 4 levels to go with that horrific free Frozen game too, then that'll be Tier 2 done.

 

No idea but when clicking save image on the game list page it always saves with the menu popped out, like below. means you cant see the game %

Tier 1.

 

1) Steep - 2.15% rarity.

2) Cities Skylines - 2.09% rarity.

3) Predator Hunting Grounds - 1.39%

 

It's been a long time since I've posted, but I did earn my third UR plat earlier this month. I enjoyed playing Predator Hunting Grounds with my friend. After what happened last year with Friday the 13th, I thought I would never touch this game but I have to say, It was a much better experience and a lot less of a grind.

 

I'm hoping to pick up pace with earning platinums over the coming weeks and as I approach plat 200, I'm thinking of making my next two plat Ultra Rares 🙂

I had not signed up for this topic yet, but since I'm very close to getting my first UR platinum of the year I think I finally will. Should be sometime today, maybe even in a few hours.

A surprisingly fun isometric puzzle/platformer starring Lara Croft. The UR trophy must be because everyone missed 100%ing the first tomb you ever enter (replayable post-game).

However...this game is NOT a 1/10 or a 2/10 😂a bit confused by the guides, you really need to know your buttons if you want to complete this game. Not overly difficult, but not visual novel level of easy either

Sorry, could you please share me the Tier 1 games? I completely missed the count for the last game from Tier 1.

If you can re-quote your post, that would be great

@Copanele hey for Dead by Daylight,

im on the ps4 version. Do I have to fully complete both 1/2 and 2/2, or do I have to complete 1/2 only for it count?

Hey hey, sorry for the late answer.

For the PS4 version, you will have to complete both 1/2 and 2/2, just so it will be fair and 1:1 with the PS5 version.

 

If you want to complete only 1/2, I will give the 1 point per list, but it won't count for the Hall of Fame unfortunately.

[Riiszk]

Haven't updated in nearly 4 months now due to moving house and upping my work hours to 50 a week, so I'll quickly throw in the 3 games I've finished which will round out Tier 1 for me.

 

The Finals

Fun: 7/10

Difficulty: 3/10

 

This took me around 275 hours which is my longest monotonous grind since Fortnite. I played mostly with a dedicated group of 3 and at first it was great, but after 50-100 hours it got old quite quickly. By the end none of us could stand the game and just wanted it done. Happy to never launch it again. Gave it a 7 for fun as that's a combination of the game and the list. The game was a 9/10 at first, but the last two thirds of the list made it a deteriorating 5/10 200 hour slog.

 

F1 Race Stars

Fun: 7/10

Difficulty: 4/10

 

Great game. I've always loved kart games and this filled that need. Always planned to do this, but after a shutdown scare (that didn't happen) I thought I should jump on it. Not much to say. Just another kart game that I grinded time trial leaderboards on for way longer than I should've. My pointless competitiveness got the better of me yet again.

 

Paladins

Fun: 2/10

Difficulty:2/10

 

I've played Overwatch for close to 4k hours and thought I'd enjoy this at least a little bit, but it's easy to see why this had no hope against OW. Some abilities just make no sense, some seem pointless, some have the exact same ability as other characters, and most abilities are just boring and are on either end of the dogwater-to-god tier spectrum. Maybe that's harsh, but the game feels horrible considering lately I expect more from even OW when I play that.

The entire list can be done against bots. Worst part is trying to be last alive in the match, but I was eventually able to get my team to die and then go in for a team wipe with the help of a friend that I grinded matches with. Very easy for the plat rarity, just a grind for the levels.

 

Tier 1:

Warface 0.65/0.55% ✅

The Crew 0.98% ✅

The Finals 0.30% ✅

F1 Race Stars 4.06%/1.32% ✅

Paladins 1.90% ✅

Thanks! Yeah, way too many online games.

Fallout 4, shelter, destiny 2 and XDefiant are my current, but in terms of UR.. maybe Trackmania. Or I'll stack the other Tom Clancy's with XDef which have a few UR. I have some of those lists 1 off waiting for me to 100%. Though, with my gaming adhd, who knows what the next will be 😂

I feel you man, I feel like I'm always switching up my game ideas constantly for no reason lmao. All depends on what I'm feeling at the time. My current plans are.... a work in progress. Let me know if you need any boosting partners for a game, always looking to up my UR count and chill with people :D.

So my first Tier 1 game this year is a Vita dungeon crawler, similar to one of the games I had in Tier 1 in the prior year.

 

 

MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death (4.80%) starts off as a very simple dungeon crawler that only takes around 15 hours to beat the first run, but quickly descends into a lot of grinding after the fact. Max level with all fifteen characters, 9,900 battles, and 30,000 enemy kills make up the majority of the grinding, most of which I did after the second playthrough. Even with all the grinding here, the platinum is just barely below the 5% mark (though there's a Vita hacker up there on it, so it might actually be lower when it recalculates). I did enjoy the game to start, but as the dungeon maps quickly got ridiculous I was less excited, especially with the high random encounter rate. The bonus dungeons can be even more ridiculous, with massive teleporter mazes and even a single humongous rectangular room as a floor.

@Copanele Since I don't see mention of it in the OP, is there any policy for games that have been out for over a month, but have only recently become completable due to previously glitched trophies? I feel like I remember the policy being one month out from the date that the glitched trophy was achievable, but I wanna make sure since I didn't see it listed. Asking due to this game, which became achievable on May 7th after being impossible for a solid year and a half.

I will actually allow it. Since there's very few games in that situation where devs actually work towards fixing the trophies, it counts if the game itself has been out for over a month.

 

Consider it as a "congrats" for having that trophy achievable

Awakening of the Mummies (PS5): 100%

(https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/19460-the-awakening-of-mummies/Wdog-999)

Rarity Proof: https://i.imgur.com/iL7muLT.png

 

Decided to buy all the stacks of this when the guide went up since I noticed it still had URs and it was on sale for literally 30 cents at the time (~75 cents for the alt region stacks where I didn't get the additional PS+ discount). Haven't gotten to every stack yet (partially since the AS PS4 version only just got fixed compared to the other 3), but I decided to abuse my self-boosting setup to play the PS5 and EU PS4 stacks of this at once since with this being a turn-based puzzler, I could pretty much just control both versions using a hand on the d-pad for each controller. Game's basically on its way out of UR at this point (literally one more achiever needed to yeet PS5 out of UR, the EU PS4 version stopped being UR the moment it got a third achiever, US PS4 stopped being UR the moment a second person did it, and AS PS4 doesn't even have the 20 owner minimum for UR status), but I like doing on-the-edge stuff like this anyway God forbid any of them actually pan out in the long run, especially in this case where it was like a few bucks between all four versions and it only took an hour and a half.

 

As far as the versions I did, the PS5 stack is currently UR as of posting this, but I also completed the EU PS4 stack at the same time and at that time, I was first achiever (now sniped by a late syncer, but shhhhhh...) due to that version having only been fixed the day before at the time, meaning that with the game having 41 owners at the time (I unfortunately lack proof of this in particular), it was sitting just under 5% for a brief moment after rarities synced but before any other achievers showed up. In addition, I do have an image of me posting my simultaneous completions elsewhere (six and a half hours after the completions) back when the PS5 rarity was considerably lower and the EU PS4 version was sitting pretty at 0% (the rarities for the two glitched trophies are one-to-one with the game's overall rarity for all four versions, likely due to the game's guide being published right after the NA/EU PS4 fix and this game being obscure as hell).

 

Not sure exactly how far the statute of limitations goes on this, especially with me only posting about this particular version completion after it crossed the rarity line, but it can't hurt to ask. Best case scenario, I get the extra point; worst case scenario, I get told no and maybe someone chides me for doing shit like this instead of finding stabler URs.

Nah as long as you have the visual proof, it's fine by me  It would have been difficult without the screenshot, but with that it's all good.

Hello Ultra Rare thread, after 6 months of nothing I finally have an Ultra Rare game on the board!

 

Eldest Souls (PS5) - 2.51% platinum rarity as of today 6/3/2024 (also has UR gold and silver trophies). So I can finally, officially start on my Tier 1. I have a few more UR games planned for the summer, too. Hopefully I'll finish a tier before August. We'll see.

 

Take care!

Hi, I'd like to participate in this event! This is a good push for me to finish some backlog and some tougher games. I have a question though. I've already platinumed/completed a few games with ultra rare trophies earlier this year (Mamorukun Curse, The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered (PS5), Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien (PS3), and SoulCalibur V). The trophies are still ultra rare right now. Am I allowed to include these on my list, or should my list only contain games that I haven't completed when I signed up?

Hey hey, welcome!

Unfortunately the games prior to joining the event do not count. Only what you complete from this moment onwards  according to the rule in the main page:

 

Quote

Any UR game completed from the moment of registering is eligible. This includes trophies that become ultra rare, as long as you achieved them after you registered.
