Winter Backlog Challenge (December 15, 2016-February 28, 2017)

[ShadowStar83x]

Mission 100%: Winter Backlog Challenge

 

Special thanks to damon8r351 for originally hosting the challenge.

If you're like me, you've got an insanely large backlog and have no good reason you keep putting it off and watching it grow. And since winter's coming, now is a good time to do something about it. Like previous backlog challenges, this event is a challenge to the community to select between 5 and 15 games from your backlog and complete them to 100% starting 00:01 AM EST December 15 and ending at 23:59 US EST on February 28. 

Now, here are the details and rules. 

• 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 15. Once the event begins, the list is locked in. You can change your games as much as you want until 23:59 EST on December 14. If you want to add more games to your list or want to continue after finishing your list, you can add games to your list up to a maximum of 15. The object is not to just earn the platinum as applicable, but to reach 100% trophy completion for it. DLC is included and you will have to complete any new DLC that's released during the challenge. If you don't like DLC, don't put a game with it on your list. You can start late if you want, but you will be committed to whatever you put on your list. 
• Eligible Games: Any game with trophies are eligible for the event, with a few exceptions. The game must have a current trophy completion percentage of 20% or under, anything higher than 20% is ineligible. Unplayed games and 0% games are fine as long as they're part of your backlog. You can also do a game where 100% is unobtainable if you feel strongly about it, but you must complete all obtainable trophies. 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. No cheating!

By any chance, would it be OK to leave an easy trophy or two for last in each game and just post proof of it? I like to prepare platinums for Trophy Hunter Team League, so I'd rather not have to outright pop the plat if I don't have to.

1. Megatagmension Blanc Vs. Zombies (EU)

2. Superdimension Neptune Vs. Sega Hard Girls (NA)

3. Megadimension Neptunia VII (Korean)

4. Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart (JP)

5. Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 (JP)

I'm saving the first game for a good weekend to do a speedrun of the plat and I'm getting the second for Christmas.

I want to do return for the winter challenge, but this winter release schedule is kinda crazy (especially February) so I'll likely be playing new games more than anything. If I decide to join I'll let you know. Good luck to everybody joining this time!

[XShadowYakuzaX]

Ooh! Is it possible to put games that i intend to buy in that time period on my list?

[Walt the Dog]

I hope so, otherwise ShadowStar83x would have to stalk us to enforce a ban on such games.

inb4 ShadowStar83x is a stalker

Any game with trophies and less than 20% completion is eligible.  Three of my games were recent purchases.  We also can add games after the event has started as long as we don't have 15 games listed already, so you could list 5 now that you already own and add a purchased one later too.

[LeetWolf2]

Adding these games to my list:

• Knot
• Arcade Game Series: Ms. Pac-Man
• Arcade Game Series: Galaga

[DetectiveCJ]

Okay, I know I have the Platinum Rain to worry about, but I think I can squeeze into this.

 

My Backlog List:

1. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered (plan on giving this to my gym trainer this Christmas but I can buy another) (9%; 7/54)
2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Remastered (0%)
3. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (0%)
4. Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 (13%; 9/45)
5. LittleBigPlanet 3 (14%; 6/38)
6. Song of the Deep (15%; 3/10)

I also have Disgaea 4 for Vita at less than 20%, but it'll take forever to get any trophies(haven't cleared Chapter 4 yet). Also might remove LittleBigPlanet 3 because for some reason the trophies for hearting a community adventure and playing through a community adventure haven't popped even though I did those things. (I've hearted three community adventures and played through two!) If someone could PM me and tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be grateful.
