AuzzieWingman Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 No no, the nominations are backlog titles. You still can earn from games outside of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuzzieWingman is correct, you earn points for every trophy that you earn but you get some bonus points for backlog games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fang7744 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Okay, thank you I'm thinking about buying GTA IV: The Complete Edition from America and was wondering if I'll be able to play it online even though it's an American copy of the game, I'd like to get Alice Madness: Returns as well but have already downloaded American McGees Alice on the PSN store for free and was wondering if that would work with an American copy as well? :/ sorry about the questions haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzzieWingman Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The way I understand it, is physical media ignores region, but digital downloads like DLC and download codes require an account of the corresponding region. I got a few games in Hawaii a few years back, and gave out download codes to a friend in the US for Festival of Blood and Mega Man 10. I mean sure, I could've made an account and downloaded them myself, but I'm simply too lazy to care for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisty123 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Most of the games I want to do for my Backlog are over 100 hours long for the Platinum , Granted most of them are an Ultra Rare or Very Rare Platinum trophy but still that is a lot of hours. I may need to rethink my games but knowing me I will start off strong with the backlog games and then not touch them again after the first month or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long games sound good, depending on which one I start this month the others will all go on my list ; SOA Hollow realisation, Attack of Titans, Final Fantasy XV and Skylanders Trap Team ( did you really think I wasn't going to put in one shame game ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sill trying to sort out my list as well but I have a feeling that I won't complete the full list, I'm going to go out of a limb and say that only one person will complete all of their backlog games.

Hemiak Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I had a suggestion, but being as I'm American and obviously wandered into the wrong place feel free to answer with 'Oy, what the 'ell are you doin' 'ere ya bloody wanker! " Anyway, I was thinking you could allow users without the full range of systems to nominate games from their backlog that are available on other systems. Examples: Rogue Legacy could be nominated for any platform even if the player only has a ps3. This is a shared list so should this seems like an easy option. Geometry Wars is available on all three systems, but it does have separate lists for each one. The Evil Within could be played on ps3 or ps4. Again, separate lists. I just figured this would allow single console users the same options as everyone else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Americans always trying to tell people how to do things! We welcome all nationalities to come in here and participate in the discussions (provided you engage in banter with some of the participants) Thanks for the suggestion, however for this season the backlog games allocation will remain as per the rules listed in the OP. I will definitely consider changes to the rules at the end of the season once I do a bit of a review and what what has or hasn't worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for friendly banter, but I'm pretty sure I'd be much closer to earning the wooden spoon than the title. Sounds good, it's your event and as long as people are having fun that's all that smatters. I just can't resist sticking my nose in places where it isn't needed. It was fun checking in every couple days last season and I'm looking forward to semi-following again. Good luck everybody. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
