Thanks for you thoughts on Ginger I have been messing around with it a little but only very early stages. Good to know it's going to get much harder, will have to set some time aside for it ?

 

You're welcome! The secret areas aren't too bad, but every time you fall into the bottomless, you spawn back at the very beginning so you have to retrace your path. I managed to get all of the Loween Town red crystals and three of the Bleepside Lake ones(despite their use of disappearing platforms), I only struggled with the Crater Peaks ones as many of them have crumbling platforms and moving platforms.

 

Don't let the difficulty of the game scare you off - it's a beautiful game and takes many elements from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, adding in a costume mechanic that gives you new abilities. I probably will platinum it, but right now I don't want to lower my percentage just to add a new game as I have a few I need to finish.

 

I think I'll wait until later. Once I feel better, I'll see if I can get over to Gamestop and get some more games.

Thanks!

 

So I have got a physical copy of Tearaway and $25 in PSN currency. I'd like to add Tearaway as a 6th game since I know I could probably get the platinum for it easily. I got it for my old account and experience with that game and its PS4 version, Tearaway Unfolded, have prepped me for the grind. I want to wait until March to start playing it anyways since I have to put my face on the game and I look like crap due to my head cold.

Okay, I went back and forth about joining this time around because I want to focus on some other things in my backlog that are close to finish and improve some of my trophy grades. However, with finishing the Winter Backlog Challenge today I realized I like the community to push myself to finish the games. That being said because I also want to finish other stuff, I will take a cop out this time around and choose easy games to start.

 

1. Magus (Ps3) - Haven't Started

2. Little Acre (Ps4) - Haven't Started

3. N.E.R.O. (Ps4) - Haven't Started

4. Unravel (Ps4) - Haven't Started

5. Day of the Tentacle Remastered (Ps4) - Haven't Started

 

I will probably add as I go along, but we will see how it goes.

Added.

I'm in - however, I will choose my list later.

(...)

 

Since we're near end of month, I should submit my list - it will be short because of a little lack of time plus games registered on other events (I'm preferring smaller tasks to being able to complete them all):

• Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL (Current Progress 5%)
• Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (Current Progress 0%)
• Sly 2: Band of Thieves [PS3] (Current Progress 1%)
• Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves [PS3] (Current Progress 1%)
• Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time [PS3] (Current Progress 0%)

Good luck on the Sly series. Each game has its own Tower of Babel to overcome. I should know, I've played through the games a few times.

I'll join, my backlog needs some serious flushing out.

 

1. Prison Architect (12%)

2. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (14%)

3. Tales of Hearts R (2%)

4. Unravel (5%)

5. Vessel (14%)

 

I'll almost certainly add more games as time goes by. Hopefully this event is more successful than my last

 

 

I may have jumped the gun and gotten a bit of a head start on some of these, but since they were all <20% when I added them to my list I'll keep them on it. Here's my current status plus some additions:

 

1. Prison Architect (32%)

2. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (50%)

3. Tales of Hearts R (7%)

4. Unravel (5%)

5. Vessel (14%)

6. Dreamals: Dream Quest (11%)

7. Dante's Inferno (4%)

8. Lords of the Fallen (9%)

9. Styx: Shards of Darkness (0%, releases March 14)

10. NieR (2%)

I'm not in charge here or anything but I'm pretty sure the rules say they have to be less than 20% when the challenge begins on March 1 making your first two now ineligible. I would ask @ShadowStar83x about them.

You'll have to get rid of Prison Architect and The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. They're too high. One can be up to 25%, the rest have to be 20% or less.

I think I'm going to sit out this season on second thoughts, I'm a bit overcommitted in real life, and Kill Your Completion in March and Persona 5 in April are going to get the lion's share of my gaming time.

 

Good luck to everyone taking part.

I feel your pain. Was going to post my list tomorrow. One of the games I was going to play was at 25%, but I played it tonight totally forgetting. So now I have to figure out a replacement.

9. Pocket RPG

10. Deception IV: Blood Ties

11. God of War

12. Journey

13. Remember Me

 

Okay, here's my final list.  I doubt I'll 100% them all, but some progress in each and at least half 100%ed would be nice.

[NebbyLunala]

Might as well put up my final list as well, considering it's the last day before the event starts. I can't wait - I am getting antsy not being able to play all the games I have lined up! Threw on another game - don't think I'll complete it before the event ends, but I wanted to get started on it.

• The Little Acre (PS4)
• Ape Escape 2 (PS4)
• inFAMOUS Second Son (PS4)
• Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep: A Fragmentary Passage (PS4)
• World of Final Fantasy (PS4)
• Tearaway (Vita)
• Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed (Vita)

[dizzyshadow]

My list for this time:

 

Day of the Tenable

Walking Dead : Michonne

Lara Croft Go

Adam's Venture Chronicles

Tokyo Jungle

 

I'll add more if possible , but March will be focused on the Kill your Completion Event and i'll undoubtedly want to continue some of those games in April and beyond so not sure how much time I will have to complete these.

Gonna sign up for this one. It's unlikely that I'll finish my games for the Winter challenge since I basically got screwed over after break ended, but here's my list for this one:

Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 (Korean): 23%

Superdimension Neptune Vs. SEGA Hard Girls (EU): 0%

Stick It to the Man (EU PS3): 4%

Final Fantasy XV (NA): 10%

Funk of Titans: 13%

Final Fantasy VII: 2%

 

Decided to remove Gal*Gun and add FFXV and FFVII instead.

 

I'll likely use Gal*Gun in the Summer Backlog Challenge where I'll have more time. Since Gal*Gun has that Godlike Rank trophy in addition to character profile grinding, I don't think I'll end up with the time or motivation to do it while balancing school work.
