Platinum rarity will be taken from the date that the next update occurs. Does this mean that all other trophies earned during the game do not count towards your overall total trophy scoring? Like if I play Trine 3 which has 1x Platinum, 4x Gold, 20x Silver and 3x Bronze for a total of 28, do the other 27 non-platinum trophies still count towards your overall total?

No. All trophies should count separately, but you only get the bonus points by achieving the platinum (100% doesn't matter). It's pretty much the same wording as the first season and all trophies from backlog games were counted individually then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisty123 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I have so many backlog games to pick from I don't know where to start. The other issue is most of these games are rather long, I really need to finish Don Bradman Cricket 17 before this hunt starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the Following tab dow the bottom of the page, and in the drop down by default I think the site gives you notifications while on site. There's also email options. Try those.

AuzzieWingman Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yeah nah mate. I don't remember the last time I played a game on release date, let alone the day I bought it. Will probably either MvC Infinite or Wonder Boy the dragon's trap. Those are the two games I'm currently too hype for right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crest is on the money, it's the same as last season. All of your trophies will count towards the end of month totals and you just get the bonus points when you obtain the platinum. Sorry it wasn't worded clearly. 18 hours ago, Lightning_0608 said: When do we submit our backlog lists?

Popular Post IronMask75 Posted December 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2016 I have a preliminary list for my backlog challenge. The way I went about it was very scientific. I clicked on my profile, scrolled all the way to the bottom, then proceeded to pick all the games with Platinum's that were still obtainable on the PS3 and had less than 10% completion on the way back up. Once I got 6 PS3 games I scrolled up to my first PS4 game and continued (I skipped Velocity 2X because fuck that). What I ended up with was a mostly unachievable list of ultra-rare shit I haven't played in a million years, but I didn't even play a single one of my backlog games this season, so If I finish even one I will have infinitely improved my performance. What it will do though is give my profile a good shuffle by earning at least some trophies in these games and assist some other goals for next year like improving completion percentage (100%'ing brand new games is always held back by your old unearned trophies) At this stage, as I said, this is just a preliminary list. I'm 99% sure the Platinum's are still achievable in these games, even some of their DLC packs have been de-listed (LittleBigPlanet Vita I'm looking at you), but this could change before start of competition in cases of early server closures of some such that causes me to complete one earlier. Also, if the competition requires games to be absolutely 100% for the points, or just the Plat in the base game, that would cause a change. Spoiler Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (PS3) - 3.44% Ultra Rare 1 of 37 Trophies (1%) December 16th 2009 DiRT 3 (PS3) - 3.84% Ultra Rare 6 of 67 Trophies (6%) July 24th 2011 WipEout HD (PS3) - 1.15% Ultra Rare 1 of 51 Trophies (1%) September 17th 2011 Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed (PS3) - 1.26% Ultra Rare 3 of 49 Trophies (3%) October 26th 2011 Ferrari Challenge (PS3) - 11.66% Rare 3 of 46 Trophies (4%) April 14th 2012 Trine 2 (PS3) - 37.24% Uncommon 1 of 13 Trophies (8%) April 24th 2012 Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag (PS4) - 6.43% Very Rare 5 of 61 Trophies (5%) June 18th 2014 Killzone Shadow Fall (PS4) - 2.06% Ultra Rare 5 of 47 Trophies (5%) August 15th 2014 Dust: An Elysian Tail (PS4) - 9.68% Very Rare 6 of 31 Trophies (10%) October 10th 2014 LittleBigPlanet (Vita) - 2.22% Ultra Rare 2 of 84 Trophies (1%) September 26th 2016 So, a little blurb about my game choices, for anyone that's interested. The first game with trophy support I played on my original PS3 was Colin McRae: DiRT 2. I put hundreds of hours into this game, mostly online, on my way to this Platinum. I hung out a fair bit on the Codemasters forums racing in leagues and one night there was a community event based in the UK. They were short one driver and I said I would join to make up the numbers, thinking myself ineligible for the prize (UK-only). So I entered and picked one of the slower rally cars and ended up winning the whole event. I refused the prize, but they insisted on sending it to me anyway. I got some stickers, a poster, a t-shirt, DiRT 2 [PSP] and a copy of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, which I played once and earned 1 trophy. DiRT 3 was a day-one purchase because of how amazing DiRT 2 was, but the game was underwhelming compared to the previous one, so I stopped playing. This was also around the time of Gran Turismo 5 so all my energy was focused there. I met a weird Swedish dude while playing DiRT 2. We used to drive the same car in one of the leagues and he was always amazed at how fast I was in that shit car, so I used to share my set-ups and lap-time videos with him. He bought me a copy of Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed and shipped it over to me, but in the state it was in on release I just couldn't play it so a couple of trophies was all I managed. Nothing to say about the other 3 PS3 games, Ferrari Challenge must have been on special and I think the other 2 were PS+ games. As for the PS4; Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, Killzone Shadow Fall and Battlefield 4 were the 3 games I bought the day I bought my PS4, for a multi-player LAN a mate of mine was hosting. We played a little AC IV multi-player, a bunch of BF4 and some Warframe (before it had trophies). After that I played about an hour of the single-player campaigns in each of them, but most of my time was playing BF4 and Warframe online with the lads. Dust: An Elysian Tail is just a random PS+ game with a Plat. LittleBigPlanet is one of 4 games in the PS Hits Mega Pack I bought for $39 with my PS Vita at the beginning of this year. It also had Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Tearaway and When Zombies Attack. Had Uncharted on last season's backlog challenge but never even installed it. Only put LBP on because I thought the servers were closing, but it was a false alarm. If you got this far then well done and thanks for reading, lol 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too bad, there's a chance that some people probably won't even finish 6 backlog games in total so if you finish all 6 PS3 games then you're still in with a good chance of bagging quite a few points. Matt is correct, it's 6 PS3 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
