Backlog Challenge 2024 - Sign Up Year-Round!

[Rebourne07]

Updating after having finished a few longer projects. I got 100% on Doom Classic Complete, platinum'd Dark Souls III and finished TLOU2 DLC back to back which was nice. TLOU2 DLC would be a 9/10 if it weren't for the Permadeath "By Chapter" option. 

 

 

Also, I have decided to nerf my score. I really felt cheap using the 999hrs on XIV Endwalker to boost my score through the roof. I won't change rules mid-year so this ONLY APPLIES TO ME, but I'm setting a maximum of 200hrs for the time portion of score calculations. I'll make this the standard for next year, 200hrs max no matter what game it is, but for this year it only applies to me. So @DLM1988MUFC is back on top

 

 

PS: It's funny and interesting that I'm currently Silver in all 3 categories lol

Finally done with NFS Heat, which grants me another badge too.

Good job! How hard is Need for Speed Heat really? I find that guide writers almost always severely understate the difficulty of racing games so I like to ask around.

Once you get accustomed to the driving and you find the cars you’re comfortable with, it’s not that hard. I did play on easy and I watched builds and guides since I’m not a big racing games player. 

Some of the activities can be really frustrating, mostly because of the random traffic. There are a few speed traps that are a pain to get 3 stars for, and I really wasn’t a fan of the drifting activities.

Overall, I agree with the 4. Maybe 5 if you’re really unlucky with the traffic.

4 more completions over the weekend: All the DLC for Resident Evil 2 Remake

 

This puts me over 10k points (without the bloat from XIV Endwalker) and 2 more badges for a total of 18 😎

 

Also, a big milestone for me is according to my crunched stats I've completed 10% of my backlog since I started this year

Small update from me, only 50 more points. I completed Sifu and two new Dead by Daylight DLC.

 

But thanks to Dead by Daylight releasing a new single trophy DLC pack out of nowhere that takes literally 5 minutes to complete, I was able to get the Drop in the Bucket badge (and twice!). I thought I would not get this badge as I had no game qualifying for it in my backlog so that's a nice surprise! I am now at 22 badges.

Another PS3 game in the bag with Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star, this one only took me 6 years to complete 🤣. It was a rather confusing jrpg but I got into it in the end. The story was pretty deep and definitely carried the game as combat was rather meh. With that though I'm sitting nicely just under 49% and on my way to smashing my goal of getting 50% by the end of the year. May even be able to push my goal to 55%.

Just posting to say I'm still in this! Just been a bit sidetracked with Sea of Thieves. It has like 256 trophies so it lowered my completion a lot so trying to get back to 80% before popping any platinums!

Another game done with Azkend 2 which was actually a surprisingly difficult 100% but the mission carries on towards 50% and cleaning up my backlog from top to bottom.

Also wondering if this guide was ok to use for it. It's a little outdated but I would say it is still just as difficult as they state.

Congrats  And yes that guide works

Another Assassin's Creed Valhalla DLC done for some little chippy points. It's just a never ending game at this point though and I've still got 3 left but I'll probably take another little break from it and chip at something else.

Dude for real, that game is such a slog. So many collectibles and so much DLC!!

time for an update, this time I completed FO76, still working on those DLCs but at least got one of 'em done, I'll try to be more active but I'm really addicted to playing 76, need to finish those DLCs fast so I can put it to rest for a while haha

 

 

Oddly enough I am yet to have a game with 1k+ points but my score for Blood, Sweat & Tears keeps going up.

As you can see, I got so busy on april-may during 1 month stretch that I barely played anything, I think I have more free time now so will update more often.

Finished Heavenly Bodies, but I don’t think I get any badges from that (and honestly, with how difficult the controls were at times, I’m pissed that it’s only worth so few points).
