Mission 100%: Summer Backlog Challenge

Mission 100%: Summer Backlog Challenge

 

Details:

If you're like me, you have a fuckload of unplayed games on hand, and no dearth of reasons why you haven't completed them yet. With that in mind, this event is a challenge to the community to select between 5 and 10 games from your backlog and complete them to 100% starting at 00:01 US EST on June 1st and ending at 23:59 US EST on August 31st.

• Event Philosophy: This is a firm commitment to complete the games you say you will within the time limit, so choose games you know you can finish, and select a manageable number. The minimum for the event is 5 games, and the maximum is 10. Once you confirm the games you will be completing, you will be locked in to those games and you cannot remove them off your list to pick something else. If you have finished the list of games you first signed up to play, you may continue to add more games for the event up to 10 maximum for the entire event. If you want, you can also add more games to your list at any time, up to a maximum of 10 total games for the event, but you must complete everything you've added. The object is not to just earn the platinum as applicable, but to reach 100% trophy completion for it. This means DLC is included if the content has trophies, and also means you will be on the hook to complete that DLC if it is released on PSN during the event timeframe. If you have a moral objection against DLC, don't choose a game that has it. The deadline for submitting your list of games is by 00:01 US EST on June 1st. All games you have promised to complete for the event must be at 100% by 23:59 US EST on August 31st.
• Eligible Games: Any game with trophies are eligible for the event, with a few caveats. To be considered as part of your backlog, the game must currently be in your possession either physically or in your PSN Library or purchase history as of the time of this post; anything purchased after the time of this post is ineligible. The game must have a current trophy completion percentage of 10% or under, anything higher than 10% is ineligible. Individual episodes of a game that has separate trophy lists, such as in early Telltale games or Broken Sword on the Vita, count as a single game; therefore, Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse counts as 1 game, not 5. For this event, you may complete a game you have previously done for a different platform or region before the start of this event, but you may not do the same game multiple times during this event. Cross-saving a game for an easy completion will also be ineligible.
• Eligible Participants: Anyone is eligible to participate, provided you are serious about completing the games you say will. However, if you have flagged games on your PSNProfile, you are banned from participating unless you hide the games, get unflagged, or use a different profile. Additionally, if your current geographical location is either in the Southern Hemisphere or any another location where the current meteorological state does not fit the conventional definition of "Summer", you will be excluded from participating until you make a solemn promise to not quibble over semantics.
• Info For Late Entrants: If you'd like to enter this but if it's past the official start time of June 1st, you can still enter but you do not receive the same grace time with your gaming list as the others did. Once you enter your choices are locked in from that point on. All other rules as outlined above apply.

I'd like to use this event as a means of completing games I haven't started yet/barely started but I'm unsure of the "punishment" for not completing the games within the deadline if there is one, so some clarification and insight would be appreciated

[NerdRage04]

I missed the spring challenge so I'm in. Let me think about what games I want to do. Can we start now or do we have to wait till June 1st? Also, there better be a fall and winter challenge. Im on a roll with these events.

[SolidJD]

I am in for this.

 

I will review my games and comment again with my list. 

[amebapiko]

If you don't manage to finish all your games you get put on the wall of shame for everyone to see

[Alpsmile05]

I really wanted to sign up for this, I've been following the spring backlog challenge sillently and was preparing to enter the summer challenge, however me and my girlfriend decided to go away for 2 months during the summer so I'll have to sit out this one. I'll be there for the fall backlog challenge though.

 

I wish all participants good luck and just like the spring backlog challenge I'll follow this thread silently

[Willstown]

I'm down for this, cleared out so older stuff in the spring.

 

PS4 - The Walking Dead Michonne

PS4 - Agatha Christies the ABC Murders

PS4 - Whispering Willows

PS4 - Gone Home

PS3 - Monkey Island SE

PS3 - Monkey Island 2 SE

PS3 - The Raven

PS3 - The Book of Unwritten Tales 2

 

All of the above are fairly short so will probably add to the list once I bash them out.  Going away for the 2nd half of August so avoiding sticking a monster like Witcher III on the list just now.

Everybody starts on or after June 1st. Have to wait for the Spring one to wrap up.

No punishment other than what you give yourself. It's sort of like when you make a declaration on New Years in front of your family that you're going to go back to the gym and lose 10 pounds by the end of March. Then in the third week of March with no action on that your wife says "Hey what happened to losing 10 pounds by March?", and you wince a little and mumble "Oh yeah, I did say that, didn't I..." That, and I might give you a disappointed dad look that won't be viewable by you unless I was standing next to you:

Added. If you change your mind, modify these posts I've quoted and then comment in a separate post.

 

PS3 - The Raven

 

A word of warning on The Raven: once you start the game, don't delete any game files no matter what even if a guide advises you to, otherwise you'll glitch yourself out of the plat. If you screw up the requirements for the Crime Scene Investigator trophy, just restart the game from the beginning, don't delete any game files. I have a trophy guide and walkthrough awaiting review that negates all of this and tells you exactly what to do so the glitch becomes irrelevant, but in case you start it before it gets published, I'm letting you know so you don't make the same mistake I did.

[colinmazzini]

I'm in too.I'll pick my games once I get back from Russia. I still have to quickly finish tales from the Borderlands before the end of May for the spring backlog challenge.

[XX_FTW]

I still have some work to do on the spring challenge but I think I want in on this one too.

 

Might switch up some of these games before the 1st but this is what I am thinking for now:

Gone Home (PS4) - 9%

Home (PSV) - 0%

AC Chronicles China (PS4) - 0%

Fez (PS4) - 9%

Rochard (PS3) - 0%

 

Edit 6/6/16: Adding in Bully (PS4) and Teslagrad (PSV). Both at 0% at the start of the challenge.
