Spring 2024 Backlog Challenge

[KazaneHime]

Update 3:

1. Evoland Legendary Edition - 0% -> 100%  (03/13)
2. Final Fantasy VII Remake - 0%
3. Lies of P - 15%
4. Call of the Sea - 0% -> 100%  (03/21)
5.  Animal Shelter Simulator - 91% -> 100%  (03/08)
6. A Little To The Left - 0%

(3/6 Completed)

(0/3 Swaps)

 

There has been a bit of a gap in updating. I was able to get Evoland done pretty quickly. It was great to return to the game and finally finish Evoland 2 after so many years.

 

Also, I got Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, which was on my Fall/Winter backlog, completed yesterday while I've been recovering from surgery!

 

I just finished the last few chapters and cleanup on Call of the Sea today. It's a very nice little indie game, and it even got my mother interested in playing!

 

I think I'm going to add "A Little To the Left" to my backlog for another chill game since I'm still a bit bleh post-surgery. As long as I feel up for it, I'm going to tackle FF7 Remake with breaks for that.

Update 3:

 

Crymachina - 32%

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc - 25%

Corpse Party - 8%

Monster Monpiece - 74%

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus - 0%

Date A Live: Rio Reincarnation - 19%

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion - 0%

The Last Of Us Part I - 0%

Punch Line - 27%

Hatsune Miku Project DIVA F 2nd - 56% --> 100%

 

I finally managed to complete my first game on my list this week. As much as I love Hatsune Miku, the Project DIVA games become a real slog to get through toward the end of the trophy list. I'm definitely not looking forward to Project DIVA X, at least right now. Luckily for me, that's not on my backlog list for this challenge 😂 Unfortunately I didn't make any progress on Rio Reincarnation or Monster Monpiece this week like I hoped to, but now that I have Project DIVA F 2nd out of the way I can make more progress on the rest of my list, hopefully starting with those two.

[crash_goose]

Making my first update! Finished off both Spiderman games and also started playing Helldivers 2 and have been playing it every spare minute Ive got so Im going to add that to the list as well 😅

 

1. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 13% -> 100%

2. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - 0% -> 100%

3. Dredge - 7%

4. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - 4%

5. Resident Evil 4 - 54% 

*NEW* 6. Helldivers 2 - 0% -> 37%

 

(2/6) Completed!

 

 

[gladiatorrrrrrr]

Hello all,

 

My first real update for this event. RL did interfere with my gaming time 🥲. But I feel I am back on track!

 

Devious Dungeon 2 - PSVIta - 0% => 100%

First game that I knock-out for this event. I am not so great in platformers and this time I made the challenge even worse. I didn't scroll down on th elist of weapons and gears you can buy so I did play the majority of the game with low damage weapons..... Anyway, when I found out there were more weapons , th egame was super easy. Enjoyable game, not super. Easy to pick it up for a short burst which I like at the moment.

 

Current Status

 

Next week

- pick another game up (probably Dishonored 2)

 

Happy trophy hunting! 😀

[freddie1989]

Update time!! A disappointing amount of progress this week to be honest and still to finish a game on the list!!

 

Metro story I should have cleaned up tomorrow as I am at a gig tonight so won't get chance. That will just leave the additional missions to complete for that one to be ticked off. Loved my time with Metro and can't wait to get to Exodus which may end up ruining my list this time around pushing games I have started to oblivion for a while longer.

 

Me and the better half have finished off Overcooked 2 though the last week so that is progress. Really enjoyed every second of the jubilation mixed in with the debates and the disagreements (polite phrasing). Hopefully next up we can get back to Pre Sequel so Borderlands 3 can finally be on the cards!

 

Happy hunting folks!

Plague Tale Requiem 0%

 (6) Secret of Mana (1%)
 (7) Trials of Mana (0%)
 (8) Legend of Mana (0%)
 (9) Dragon Quest Builders 2 (61% => 72%)
 (10) Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (PS5) (0%)

 

Well, despite the best efforts of my throat, Psaro the Monster Wrangler and my last foolish decision to stay up all night to finish Moonbrooke catching up to me, I did manage to clear the third tablet in Cerulean Steppes and now all I have to do is conquer Malhalla, the final area of the game, and finish the story, then do some trophy clean-up. This game is amazing and if it wasn't for Dragon Quest Monsters 3, this would be my favorite Dragon Quest game right now.

 

Since all three Mana games are still going to have to wait over a week to get played due to RPG Mania 2024, I might try to start playing Monster Boy to get a trophy on the list. The worry is that I will get addicted to it and try to marathon complete it, since it's a side-scrolling Metroidvania. 😛

Oh sh**, I knew I was forgetting something... I'm in that boat now. (Yeah, still haven't gotten back to Evoland 2 yet.)

I do not mean this in a rude way but do you think daily updates are really necessary? Everyone else seems to be doing every few days to a week between updates and I kinda feel like you are spamming the forum unnecessarily with updates every day. Maybe space your updates out a bit more.

Got the platinum for Star Ocean The Divine Force! Awesome game! I had a blast with the second playthrought too. For the first one, I mainly played with Elena, so for the second one I chose Marielle and wow she made me so proud! I said one platinum is enough, but now I totally feel like to get multiple platinums lol. But first I want to stick with my actual backlog for at least a bit longer. 19 games left in my entire profile.

 

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - 7% --> 67%

 

Finally, at last, I also started to make progress for this challenge lol. I decided to give a second chance to Xenoverse 2. Even bought the DLCs with trophies before resuming. This time I am enjoying the game much more. The fact it carries the name Dragon Ball helps a lot. In terms of difficulty, it's very easy. Definitely the easiest game left in my actual backlog. I read somewhere that the Challenge Quests (combo trials) trophy was tough and even potentially the platinum breaker. Admittedly, that's one of the main reasons for me to return to the game since I am attracted by hard challenges. But those Challenge Quests were easy just like the entire game. I made so much practice with fighting games like Street Fighter 4 and The King Of Fighters 13, so Xenoverse 2 Challenge Quests are just child's play in comparison. The platinum and the DLCs for the 100% require so much grinding. Even though I am enjoying the game, I do not like it to the point I am willing to make this much grinding. I even decided to buy the microtransaction to speed things up. No shame and I feel I have nothing to prove to this game. Those were my initial thoughts until I played Expert Mission 16. For being a very simple mission, it gives so much in terms of rewards and it's so fast to complete too. So I concluded it was best to save my money and just spam that mission over and over again. And of course I am totally using the USB trick. Spent all of my in-game currency for a trophy? All good, load up my save file from the USB and all my resources are back without losing my trophy XD. Everything is going smoothly, but there are 2 trophies that made me very appalled. Krillin and Yamcha's special training sessions. 10 sessions each. They can become available after every battle, but the rate in which they appear is way too low. After 200+ battles I only got the Krillin trophy and Yamcha I only have 8/10 sessions completed. This is absurd. And I read I am definitely not the only one with this problem. Is this Krillin and Yamcha's revenge against everyone who ridiculed them for their multiple deaths in the manga/anime? Whatever. I'll complete this game too. Guaranteed.

 

I reached 95% completion rate in my entire profile! 95.35% to be more specific. I know I can reach my desired goal of 99%, but while I am at it I could also attempt the 100%. Somehow, I do not have any game with unobtainable trophies. Even during those years when I did not care about trophies I accidentally avoided any unobtainable stuff, but I still accumulated a very big backlog lol. Having a 100% account seems very almighty, but it kinda scares me. If I ever reach the 100%, I know I will do my very best to defend it. I totally see myself refusing to play any game with online trophies, even if they are very easy. Also wait at least 1 year after the release date in order to avoid platinum breaking glitches and also see the DLC situation. And as for actually playing new games, I know I will only rely on Blank Accounts, which is something I only discovered recently. Succefully completed a game in a Blank Account? Awesome, time to "transfer" the trophies to my main account then. I failed the game? No worries, Blank Account deleted, or just leave it there in case I'll ever return, and that game is nowhere to be found in my main profile leaving my 100% intact. Damn, this sounds very obsessive and unhealthy. Maybe I really should just settle with the 99% and avoid the 100%.

Sorry, I am used to updating often. I should have saved that for my actual trophy checklist. I promise my next update will be when I get the platinum for the game and then I will try to avoid updating until April.

[Vulpine9Tails]

1. Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story - 100% 

2. Tchia - 100% 

3. Need for Speed Unbound - 42%

4. The Quarry - 100% 

5. Prince of Persia Lost Crown - 100% 

6. God of War (2018) - 100% 

7. Persona 4 Golden - 1%

8. Ni No Kuni Remastered - 5%

9. Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen - 14% -> 100% 

10. The Last of Us part 2 - 3%

 

This has probably been my most productive week off work I've ever had lol. At least trophy-wise; I have done sweet eff all otherwise but that is the way vacations should be imo. 

Finally after over a decade of knowing of this game and attempting it across multiple accounts all the way from the PS3 era, I finally got the PS4 version done thanks to Optinoob's guide. I never would have gotten it otherwise as there is just way too much to keep track of and knowing which items to keep across playthroughs really shortens how much time you need to spend on Hard mode and the speedrun. Now I am ready for when DD2 goes on sale.

Hey everyone, I hope you're all having an awesome week!

 

So I really haven't made that much progress since my last post, but I've been a bit busy these past couple of weeks adjusting to my new job and moving house. You never really know just how much junk you've accumulated until you start packing boxes! I still managed to play a little bit of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth but I've been taking my time doing as much side content as possible. I'm really enjoying it and I think they have done such a good job with it. I'm really loving the boss battles and just exploring the world map. Some of the mini games are a bit annoying or just plain absurd, but overall it's definitely been a wonderful experience so far.

 

I've also utilised my first swap. Honestly, I know I won't 100% it during spring, but at the very least I intend to platinum Final Fantasy XIV and knock out a few of the DLC lists while I'm at it. I've just finished the last of the Heavensward trophies a few minutes ago, but I'll be readjusting my focus back to the base game list for the next month. I was going to wait until summer to resub in time for the next expansion, but I was talking about the game with one of my new work mates and suddenly I had the itch to get back into it, so here I am again!

 

Although it doesn't reflect on my list seeing as I haven't been online on my PS3, I have been playing a bit of Wolfenstein 3D and I should have the 100% pretty soon. I've enjoyed playing through it again, even though the mechanics of it are quite a bit outdated. I find myself constantly trying to aim and crouch, but alas that just didn't exist back then!  

 

Happy hunting, everyone!

 (6) Secret of Mana (1%)
 (7) Trials of Mana (0%)
 (8) Legend of Mana (0%)
 (9) Dragon Quest Builders 2 (72% => 100% )
 (10) Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (PS5) (0% => 7%)

 

So finally completed my first platinum of this set and it's my 100th platinum in Dragon Quest Builders 2. I apologize for the daily updates but I just love this game. I won't be deleting it any time soon as I have a ton of stuff to do like create my Buildertopia, finish up the castle on Cerulean Steppes, complete the Tablet Targets(I already have 100% of Green Gardens tablet targets, but the others require some work), and get 100% in the Builderpedia! I might show a screenshot of my work in progress, but I will be relegating continued DQB2 time to late evenings when I need to stop trophy hunting and get ready for sleep - I burned the midnight oil twice on this game and I don't want that sort of thing to happen again with other titles. (cough cough)

 

While I was waiting for the cats to breed to get the Rare Breeder trophy, I started work on Monster Boy and managed to get past the first major boss. I'll be working off and on in that game as I do other things like get ready to upgrade my FFXIV account so I can pop the platinum on that game as well. (I've already gotten ready for one trophy, I just have to grind out the other trophies. )

 

At least now I can start stacking games I had easy platted to push my total to 119. FFXIV may not be on the docket for #100 but I can get it a decent position.

 

However, I think I can say that I will not be adding any more games when I finish this list. I just started up a new Platinum Rain Day challenge and I want to hold a few games for the upcoming release of FFXIV's newest expansion, which just got announced to release around July 2 so I have three months to try to trophy rush through a ton of great games I want to add to my cabinet. As such I think that once I complete this second list, I will declare myself done with this event. Good luck to everyone who is going to 25 games, I don't think I could get that many done in three months.

Update 4. 3/24/2024

-no progress

 

Swaps
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - > Crystal Ortha
Octopath Traveler II -> The Making of Karateka
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin -> Wild Hearts

 

Updating a day early to use my swaps. Almost a full month with no progress means it's time to switch things up. Gone are three of the longer games on my list, and in come a couple of short ones plus Wild Hearts, which I'm currently obsessed with. Crystal Ortha and Karateka should both be around the 10-15 hour range. Wild Hearts will take a bit longer, but I wanted to swap it in before I hit the % cut off.

 

Hopefully next week's update will actually have some trophy progress, maybe even 1 or 2 completions. Keep hope alive!

 

Updated Game List(0/6 complete, 3/3 swaps used)

1. Crystal Ortha(PS4) 0%
2. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 5%
3. Final Fantasy VII Remake(PS4) 47%
4. Just Cause 4 1% 
5. The Making of Karateka(PS4) 0%
6. Wild Hearts 26%

 

Swaps
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth -> Crystal Ortha
Octopath Traveler II                 -> The Making of Karateka
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin        -> Wild Hearts

[Mr_Wright95]

Howdy all! I would love to sign up! (I am late to the party, but glad to have snuck in before the deadline!)

 

Below is my list of games I plan to tackle!

• Wreckfest (37%) this is my one game above 50% per rules
• Ape Escape (1%)
• Prodeus (18%)
• The Knight Witch (12%)
• Hello Neighbours 2 (0%)
• Untitled Goose Game (0%)
• PGA Tour 2K23 (0%)
• Twisted Metal 2 (0%)
• Moving Out 2 (0%) (currently has no DLC)

This would take me to roughly Plat 190 and closing in on Plat 200. 

Chances are I can probably get through more, but this will be the list I lock in for my first ever Trophy Challenge! 😃

I read somewhere that the Challenge Quests (combo trials) trophy was tough and even potentially the platinum breaker. Admittedly, that's one of the main reasons for me to return to the game since I am attracted by hard challenges. But those Challenge Quests were easy just like the entire game. I made so much practice with fighting games like Street Fighter 4 and The King Of Fighters 13, so Xenoverse 2 Challenge Quests are just child's play in comparison. The platinum and the DLCs for the 100% require so much grinding. Even though I am enjoying the game, I do not like it to the point I am willing to make this much grinding. I even decided to buy the microtransaction to speed things up. No shame and I feel I have nothing to prove to this game. Those were my initial thoughts until I played Expert Mission 16. For being a very simple mission, it gives so much in terms of rewards and it's so fast to complete too. So I concluded it was best to save my money and just spam that mission over and over again. And of course I am totally using the USB trick. Spent all of my in-game currency for a trophy? All good, load up my save file from the USB and all my resources are back without losing my trophy XD. Everything is going smoothly, but there are 2 trophies that made me very appalled. Krillin and Yamcha's special training sessions. 10 sessions each. They can become available after every battle, but the rate in which they appear is way too low. After 200+ battles I only got the Krillin trophy and Yamcha I only have 8/10 sessions completed. This is absurd. And I read I am definitely not the only one with this problem. Is this Krillin and Yamcha's revenge against everyone who ridiculed them for their multiple deaths in the manga/anime? Whatever. I'll complete this game too. Guaranteed.

 

I reached 95% completion rate in my entire profile! 95.35% to be more specific. I know I can reach my desired goal of 99%, but while I am at it I could also attempt the 100%. Somehow, I do not have any game with unobtainable trophies. Even during those years when I did not care about trophies I accidentally avoided any unobtainable stuff, but I still accumulated a very big backlog lol. Having a 100% account seems very almighty, but it kinda scares me. If I ever reach the 100%, I know I will do my very best to defend it. I totally see myself refusing to play any game with online trophies, even if they are very easy. Also wait at least 1 year after the release date in order to avoid platinum breaking glitches and also see the DLC situation. And as for actually playing new games, I know I will only rely on Blank Accounts, which is something I only discovered recently. Succefully completed a game in a Blank Account? Awesome, time to "transfer" the trophies to my main account then. I failed the game? No worries, Blank Account deleted, or just leave it there in case I'll ever return, and that game is nowhere to be found in my main profile leaving my 100% intact. Damn, this sounds very obsessive and unhealthy. Maybe I really should just settle with the 99% and avoid the 100%.

 

i stand on 98 completion from dragonball xenoverse 2 last dlc trophie its with the figures from hero colliseum i just need to finish the story and free battles thats it overall the game was easy only the grind near the end was a bit long but i pushed trough and unlocked my first ultra rare trophie! i have done all the other dlcs from dragonball xenoverse 2!

Update Number One:

 

I've finished the worst part of the Hogwarts Legacy grind, the collectibles, I've only got the two partial playthroughs to do as Hufflepuff and Gryffindor then this one will be chalked off. I did the majority of the game when it first released but fell off, playing other stuff so glad it's going to be off my backlog by this weekend. WWE 2K24 will be arriving tomorrow so I'm debating adding that but not 100% committed to that idea as of yet. 

 

1.) Sea of Stars- 0%

2.) The Quarry- 8%

3.) Hogwarts Legacy- 64%-97%

4.) Marvels Guardian Of The Galaxy- 9%

5.) Alan Wake Remastered- 5%

6.) Assassins Creed II- 0%

7.) Football Manager 2024- 63%

8.) Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot- 5%

9.) Gotham Knights- 21%

10.) Jak and Daxter: the Precursor Legacy- 0%

 

Update Number 2:

 

Hogwarts Legacy is completed was grindy in some parts but an enjoyable situation, have restarted Guardians of Galaxy as played it when I first got it so never got into it properly alongside WWE 2k24.

 

1.) Sea of Stars- 0%

2.) The Quarry- 8%

3.) Hogwarts Legacy- 64%-97%-100%

4.) Marvels Guardian Of The Galaxy- 9%-21%

5.) Alan Wake Remastered- 5%

6.) Assassins Creed II- 0%

7.) Football Manager 2024- 63%

8.) Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot- 5%

9.) Gotham Knights- 21%

10.) Jak and Daxter: the Precursor Legacy- 0%

Update #2:

1. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - 0-->29%
2. Assassin's Creed Revelations - 0%
3. Powerwash Simulator - 42%
4. Disney Speedstorm - 26%
5. Lego 2K Drive - 0%
6. The Witcher 3 - 14%
7. Sleeping Dogs - 11%
8. Immortals Fenyx Rising - 9%

A bit of a shorter update for this time, I started AC Brotherhood and made it to midway through sequence 6. So far, the story, graphics and combat are so much better than AC2 and I am enjoying it immensely. Getting the 100% sync looks like it will be rough for a few of the missions, but definitely doable. I have also been making some great progress with Disney Speedstorm, just no trophies to show for it. Everything left is an extreme grind and will likely take a while to finish. And finally, I got a third gold medal for Powerwash, so just two to go for that trophy.

 

Outside of the challenge, I've been playing Helldivers 2 with a friend, and having a blast. I'm not going to add it at this time since I want to take my time with this game. I'll probably worry about cleaning up trophies in a few months. Planning to spend the next week finishing off Brotherhood and the gold medals in Powerwash and then straight into my next Assassin's Creed.

Very cool first ultra rare! Yeah, the grind is the only "difficult" part the game. I made progress since my last post. Got the platinum and cleared 2 DLC. 97% completed. What I am missing is collecting 70 figures and, just like you, the Hero Colosseum.

 

You said you're playing Devil May Cry 4 and want to complete it, right? That would be your first ultra rare platinum and it would be so awesome. That game takes me back: it is both my first platinum and first ultra rare platinum. To this day, it's still one of my best platinums! One of my favourite games ever as well! I'm also using Trish from Devil May Cry 4 as my PSN avatar!

I don't think I'll ever play Xenoverse 1. I own the game, but never started XD. Xenoverse 2 is definitely good, but it does not make me want to play the first one. Rare of me to refuse to play a fighting game lol.

 

Yeah, play games 1 by 1 until done is what I am trying to do as well. Much harder than I thought XD. Also very hard to not start new games. So many times I neglected my backlog because of that. Success or not, I will be done with my backlog by the end of this year.

Update 4 -

 

Hey all! hope everyone had a nice weekend! 

 

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

I made some good progress since my last update, managing to complete the main story and start the end-game grind to get to max-level, level up my materia and generally start preparing my builds for the high difficulty content available. The sum of that content is to complete each main story chapter again on hard mode and to complete some hard mode VR missions (which are basically like self contained arena battles in a single room against specific enemy groups). From what a few other posters have said both here and on Reddit, it looks like these VR missions are way way more overtuned in terms of difficulty compared to Remake and the Intergrade DLC. so I'm looking forward to seeing that first hand!

 

As a side note - I wanted to flag this with @MidnightDragon - since it's most recent patch - the platinum is currently blocked for anyone who hasn't finished all of the side missions yet. The final side mission is bugged and prevents you from getting the associated trophy. I have no idea when they will fix it, i'm hoping that it will be in time for the end of the challenge. It's possible to bypass it if you have a physical copy and can revert the patch. But for digital owners like myself, i'm shit out of luck. I wanted to flag it just in case I need to move it out of my list. I'm sure it will be fixed sooner rather than later though.

 

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

No progress on Iceborne since my last update. I don't want to lose my momentum here and i'm actually missing it a bit, so i'm going to jump back into it as soon as possible.

 

Next up:

This week i'm going to use my game time to start finishing off all of the battle-arena type missions in Rebirth. I've been keeping apace of the VR missions as they unlocked during my main story playthrough, but there are still loads left in other areas to complete too, along with the actual legendary/brutal VR missions that unlock at the end of the main story.

 

Not list related but I should also finally have the Powerwash Simulator DLC finished off too. I'm on the last mission, about 80% of the way through. It's an absolutely massive clean though, so it's been taking a while.

 

And that's all I got, have a lovely week everyone and see you in the next update.

• Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - 51% > 77%
• Pacific Drive - 0%
• Dragon's Dogma 2 - 0%
• Monster Hunter World: Iceborne - 38% > 40%
• Dying Light 2 - 0%
• Dead Rising - 0%

I won't be deleting it any time soon as I have a ton of stuff to do like create my Buildertopia, finish up the castle on Cerulean Steppes, complete the Tablet Targets(I already have 100% of Green Gardens tablet targets, but the others require some work), and get 100% in the Builderpedia! I might show a screenshot of my work in progress, but I will be relegating continued DQB2 time to late evenings when I need to stop trophy hunting and get ready for sleep - I burned the midnight oil twice on this game and I don't want that sort of thing to happen again with other titles. (cough cough)

I'm so glad you're also enjoying it! I love Dragon Quest Builders 2, and it never seems to get the love it deserves from a wider community.

Good luck with returning to Evoland 2 as well!

Update #1

 

Finally finished Sackboy: A Big Adventure (not on my list as it was over 50% when I signed up) but this means my partner and I have started Moving out 2! I am also back to working through Wreckfest now which despite no trophy % progress I probably smashed another 2hrs into. 

 

Really enjoying Wreckfest. The off-road drifting feels pretty good and the car based combat really reminds me of Destruction Derby way back on the PS1. (if anyone knows of any games similar to this one let me know!)

 

Probably a bit of a premature update, but as I am going away Camping for Easter I thought I had best post something before being MIA for a week+

 

• Wreckfest (37%)
• Ape Escape (1%)
• Prodeus (18%)
• The Knight Witch (12%)
• Hello Neighbours 2 (0%)
• Untitled Goose Game (0%)
• PGA Tour 2K23 (0%)
• Twisted Metal 2 (0%)
• Moving Out 2 (0%) -> 2% 😄

Happy Easter everyone and I will touch base again in April when I begin to smash these games!!!
