Is it possible to change one Season 1 game to Pre-Season and add another one to the Season 1? Thanks! I've beaten the first two bosses a while ago before some other games distracted me and people were saying that unless I want to go for the platinum (I don't), I've beaten what many think is the toughest boss in the game so I have good hope that this will be the first Soulsborne game I actually finish About the rules: it's not in there really explicitly but as far as I can tell, you cannot remove games from a season once the season has started but before that, you're free to switch around as long as you present a final list before the season starts. That's how I interpreted it anyway. The rules only say you can't remove a game from a list, but somewhere in the discussion is a bit about "final" lists I believe.

Playing Bloodborne up to finishing Gascoigne has given me a new appreciation for the series and made me think that the games might not be that difficult after all (exactly what a few people here told me), I just needed to have a bit of patience and look more at how bosses behave before blindly attacking them.

voodoo_eyes Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Well. I got some more progress done. Went back to Killzone and got a 2nd playthrough done. I might actually push through and do the remaining 2 playthroughs just to get this game done and deleted. Having played as another character this time around, I have come to realise how bloody useless the AI actually was on the first. All the alternate routes I had to do as the new character, were never done by the AI then... Current Progress:89% Lost Dimension - Progress - 51% - Finished Story As previously said in more detail, I really liked this one. Would definitely recommend it. Lastly Monster Monpiece I barely touched. Got maybe a few battles done and that's about it. I guess I can at least describe the gameplay. Well, it's a turn-based card battle game at it's core. It has become controversial, because of other mechanics it includes. Mainly when wanting to "upgrade" one of the cards , which are all monster girls, is to rub them in which process the clothes become more revealing. Which as a mechanic is actually interesting and original, it gets old really quickly though. On the battle field you're restricted by mana when playing cards, monster girls of the same "race" and type can be fused together to make them stronger. The cards are then personified on the battle field when played, and move up a sqaure each turn, towards the enemy HQ, that you need to attack 3-4 times. At the same time you need to prevent the opponent to do the same. You have to play through several areas, each having a boss at the end. This was fine, until reaching the point where the game artificially lengthens itself. Basically you get through 8 areas of the game, then the game wants you to play the "darker" versions of those areas, so that's another 8 areas, which are tougher than before. Only after completing those, you'll finally get to the last area, which is once again more difficult; it almost feels unbalanced really, as instead of making the AI better, the opponents are given 20, 30 or 40 mana to start with, which enables them to summon much stronger characters early on. and has made the game incredibly boring by now. So much for my progress thus far, might have more next week or so. Edited December 15, 2016 by voodoo_eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't intend to go for the platinum so I might not even see the chalise dungeons. If I get through Bloodborne, I really want to try the first Dark Souls again, that seemed the best of the Souls series to me. My backlog is probably tame by comparison... here is the thread. I intentionally try to keep my backlog small (ideal would be single digits per console), as I did not like gaming any more with my huge X360 backlog. Got a second chance after switching to trophies, so I'm trying to buy less now. My total PlayStation backlog has been around ninety just after obtaining a PS3 and getting a flash sale soon after, I've been chipping away ever since though. 2 hours ago, voodoo_eyes said: EDIT: forgot that BBCode is fucked, so not doing the striking through thing. testing...

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I made a start on Assassin's Creed II, and I quickly 100%ed Actual Sunlight for the BBB event. Update Coolio! I really like playing through these games again. I played through all Assassin's Creed games from II up to and including Rogue twice already (thanks to switching from X360 to PS3/PS4 and getting every PS3 game except Black Flag and Rogue from a friend) and I don't mind having "updated re-release" as an excuse to play through the Ezio games once more. The graphics look really crisp. Though it becomes more obvious than ever that the character models have been created a long time ago, the surroundings look better than ever. Can't wait to play through the rest, I have high hopes for Rome in the next game. If you have a PS4 and if you've never played through any Assassin's Creed game before, this might be the collection to pull you in. Unless you really want current gen graphics, in which case it would probably be better to start with either Black Flag (great game but has little to do with the regular AC gameplay), Unity and/or Syndicate. BOOO! I did not enjoy this game at all. At first I wanted to do a normal playthrough, and then a second one with a walkthrough for the missables but after just a few minutes I decided to just check the trophy guide so I'd know when I was approaching a missable trophy. Basically, there's some white guy that feels depressed without having any reason to be depressed (except for the realisation that he's just a small insignificant cog in a large machine and the world will keep on turning without him), and then he made this game. I get it, we all feel lost sometime, but I feel like this game really missed what it intended to do. Just watch a Bo Burnham show, he can talk about this stuff much better. The site of the game has this to say: Quote An Unforgettable Gaming Experience Actual Sunlight is a uniquely memorable adventure that will etch itself into you as one of the most difficult, haunting and beautiful experiences you have ever had as a gamer. I have this to answer: it's not unique, it's not memorable, it's not difficult, it's not haunting, it's not beautiful and I will forget about it pretty soon. I could go on, but I really don't feel like it. Just ignore this game, unless you're a trophy hunter because then it's an easy 100% in about 45 minutes.

Was that a conscious choice? Because if you're not adding final percentages then I'd rather not have starting percentages in my post either. P.S. Are you going to put everyone in the OP in alphabetical order once the event starts? Makes it much easier to find myself Well, the way you do it, with a fully formatted, ready to use updated list, i gladly include all percentages i only have to copy&paste after all! But in general, i will probably just strike the games through. And yes, i will absolutely put everyone in alphabetical order, updating will be much easier that way too! Sometime before the start of the first season, i will do that.

Anyway you're not even removing a game really, just pulling it to pre-season @Shurax_Urden Thats exactly the way it was meant, i'll have a look at my wording and maybe change it, so that point is clear! You can cange/add/remove anything on your list before te season starts, after the start, only adding stuff is allowed! Also, more than 3 games in the pre-season is no problem, that was maybe aimed a little low, i have more myself already and thinking about adding yet another one... Which maybe leads to increasing the maximum of 6 for the seasons, or even removing a maximum... But i have to think about that a bit, i dont want people feeling under pressure, unconsciously thinking they have to do the maximum...

I also just finished Lost Dimension, and i just wanted to recommend you going for the platinum. You need at least two playthroughs anyway if you want the true ending, and to be honest, without the true ending the story barely makes sense... And after two playthroughs you wont be missing much for the plat. Onyl if you got unlucky with the random traitors and cant complete a friendship because of that... Now for my update. I just have finished ACIV, got an A rank with 64% (84% base game), so im happy with that. I will play Freedom cry, but as i just read on some forum, the standalone version has a separate trophy list, and i will not unlock the DLC trophies in the base game list, so that will stay at 64%. (another reason why the base game percentage is the one important to me...) So, now im thinking of adding another rather short game on my list, and yeah, i should maybe start tinking about my list for the first season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to go for the plat eventually, but for now I'll just leave it at one playthrough. I'm only missing 3 characters for the friendship thing, so the odds should be in my favour on that. I might include it for season 1 or 2 of this event. On a different note, I ended up platting Killzone, so that one's done and gone for good.

dadoudelidou Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Update: I was soooooo enthusiast about receiving my Ezio Collection that i forgot that i've entered AC II ONLY for season 1 and not in the pre-season.... So i've allready got 60% of the trophies in a week.... So here is my suggestion to repair that mistake. I'll stop playing it up until the first and will reajust my list of games for season 1 to compensate. So i'll keep AC2 there and; beside of completing only the story in Heavy Rain, i'll go for its Platinum. So if it's allright with you guys, here is my "new" list ! - COD: AW: story completion - GoW 3: PLATINUM - Everybody gone rapture :PLATINUM - AC II : PLATINUM - Heavy Rain : PLATINUM Happy holidays to you all !

Mystvayne Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Update time Deadly Premonition: 100% I just got the plat for this so it can be marked off my list. It never crashed on me once which I've heard can be a real problem in this game. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good story and isn't too worried about flashy graphics. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. MotoGP13: 94% I've finished all the single player trophies in this game and only have the 4 mp trophies left for the plat. I probably won't get them done before January so I'm happy to leave this one at 94% for this season. Borderlands The Pre Sequel: 30% I haven't made any more progress on this yet but I'm starting it up again today. Here's my games for season 1: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (70%) - Plat Final Fantasy XV (28%) - Plat Dragon Quest Heroes (81%) - Plat Rogue Galaxy (24%) - Plat Disgaea 5 (52%) - Plat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had more problems with Father Gascoigne. I'm not really a completionist, I'll check how much I have left to do when I play through the game without looking at trophies. If it's not much and/or if I still enjoy the game, I'll consider going for the remainder. OT: busy holidays.

XX_FTW Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Okay, finally back with a plan. Only using games I've already started and eliminating games from concurrent events from eligibility. For Season 1, I'd like to: Complete TLOU story. It's getting hard to avoid spoilers and the PSX trailer for 2 really punished me. 100% Letter Quest Remastered Complete Mafia 3 story Platinum Sims 3 That's it for now.

Everytime I think I'm close to the end another route with battles pops up. Anyway at this rate, I'll end up carrying this one over to the first season of the event. Which I might as well lay out already while I'M at it. Season 1: Borderlands (98%) - 1 character level (grinding levels for 100%, which is taking forever) The Escapists: The Walking Dead (23%) - Plat Monster Monpiece (in case I won't finish it during the pre-season) (81%) - Plat Risen 3 Enhanced Edition (77%) - Plat Crysis (12%) - Plat PS: percentages might change, as I'm playing a few of these during this month.
