"What The Hell Is That Still Doing There" Backlog Event

[Oobedoob S Benubi]

Well, everything's updated. Turns out that since the last update, it was mostly only me doing Assassin's Creed, @Crimson Idol's big list, and @gazdavis11 giving up on Tour De France.

@MarkusT1992, did you end up buying Black Flag? The side stuff has been such a blast for me that I'd now say you should definitely get and play it again

 

I'd even help you do the multiplayer stuff so you can finally get your 100% completion in the main game

Not yet. I'm still not 100% sure.

But thanks for the offer. If I end up buying it, it would be nice to have some help.

Interesting idea. It might actually help me finally get through some games in my backlog. For now, I'm just going to aim for one that has been on my head lately, Tomb Raider: Underworld. I'm trying to get Dead Space 2 as my 30th platinum so finishing this one would kill two birds with one stone.

 

Just hearing about possible glitches while hunting for collectibles in an already broken game makes me not want to even touch it but I'm gonna try.

One of my favorite games, have fun and good luck. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. 

[amilbar15]

Everything so far has been pretty straightforward and I'm in chapter 9 of my New Game+ Zealot playthrough. I'm both excited and afraid of starting my Hardcore playthrough though, I know that one's gonna be tough.

[Oobedoob S Benubi]

Well, haven't finished Black Flag yet... GUess I underestimated how long it would take to replay about half the game (I really only went for story completion the first time, never restarted missions if I happened to not get a synch objective so I have almost none of them). I also did not have much time to game yesterday because I was at work for so long, hope I get more time today.

Welcome, and good luck! Dead Space 2 isn't eligible for this event though since you obtained the first trophy only two months ago, not over a year ago.

Acting surprised about you liking Dead Space was more fun when you still had the Dead Space avatar.

Well I had Isaac in one form or another for close to two years. 

 

After re-reading my favorite book again I had to go back to my boy Kaladin for a bit. Unfortunately being from a book means there's only sporadic fan art to pick through on Google. This is the 2nd or 3rd one I've used of him over the last 3 years.

Thank you. And yeah, I know DS2 isn't part of this event but I'm using it as something to motivate myself with. Maybe that will finally get me actually working towards Underworld's platinum.

[Oobedoob S Benubi]

Aww yeah, obtained the platinum in Black Flag! This should make @Crimson Idol super glad as now I can focus on non-AC games.

 

So what should I play now?

 

... Hmmmm... Think I'll go with Revelations, actually.

Actually, I played some levels of Life Goes On and Feist which I both bought with the refund (pretty cool so far), and after that I decided to start Uncharted for just a minute, "just to check how the remaster looks"... So yeah, I'm at chapter 4 now.

[amilbar15]

Well, first day after taking on Tomb Raider and I got two trophies already (seven down to go). The game isn't that bad, just a bit dull but my god do the underwater controls suck.

Yet Another Assassin's Creed.

[xFalionx]

I finished up all of the singleplayer trophies in AC: Brotherhood yesterday, so you can mark that one as done.  You can also, put Atelier Ayesha back into the pile and put Kingdom Hearts on the list of games I'm working on instead, I really feel the urge to get back to that one again and I decided against playing Ayesha right now.

 

Also, I've already started on AC: Revelations and I'm in Sequence 3, and if the count of viewpoints is an indicator for that, I've also managed to explore about 85% of the world already. I don't know if there's another area with yet another counter later on in the game, but if this the full extent of the map, I might actually go ahead and start III after I'm done with Revelations. Anyways, I'm really loving the change of scenery after spending two games in Italy and broken down Italy. I've also got no idea how I ever managed to live without that awesome hookblade, and I'm having a blast at the tower defense minigames.  

 

@Crimson Idol Seems like it's looking good for the ACIII multiplayer right now since the games have me speeding through them right now.

Nice to know. Now I only need the motivation to play the game in the next few days/weeks. Too many good games arriving in the next few days.

I'm going to go ahead and interpret it as "Yay, Another Assassin's Creed!"

[JoaoQuique]

An update from a quiet person: I got Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion's Platinum (this game was still on "on agenda" list), so now my backlog is "one game smaller"... ?

 

I hope being able to complete Sly 2 this month (I won't force myself... ).

[Oobedoob S Benubi]

Feel free to keep posting updates everyone, I'll update the OP some time next week (or perhaps the week after that, Ive got an exam coming up).

I hope you like it better than I did. There are just way too many things about he Sly series I dislike, and I'll never touch another Sly game at this point.

Will definitely do that. I have a few games I need to add.

[Fitzquaid]

I'm working on Atelier Escha & Logy Plus as part of Falion's backlog event; I started it in January last year and finished my first playthrough as Escha, so now I'm going back through as Logy for the true ending.

 

The NG+ system lets you keep all the equipment your characters were wearing at the end of the game, and midway through the story you also get your crafted alchemy items back as well (bombs, healing items, ridiculously broken endgame things).  That's making the second playthrough a breeze so far, but also pretty boring.  I'm hoping there'll be more route-exclusive scenes later, but even if there isn't, at least fighting the super version of the final boss should be fun.

[Edunstar84]

Here's my updated info:

 

Game(s) working on now

Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk - technically I'm not working on it right now, but will be really soon. Just need to finish HDN mk2 (will happen in the next few days) and HDN Re;Birth2 (essentially the same, not that difficult to plat - hopefully)

 

Games on agenda for event - Games to be added

Dokuro. First trophy earned: April 5, 2016. Goal: Plat it.

Battle Princess of Arcadias. First trophy earned: April 2, 2016. Goal: Plat it.

LittleBigPlanet. First trophy earned: January 16, 2015. Goal: Plat it.

 

[Hemiak]

Close to finishing the Monkey Island 2 speed-run. 

 

After I finIsh GHP2 I'm planning on going back to American McGee's Alice. Just need to finish that for 100% to have the 100%.

 

Was also considering going back to Doom 3, which I started mid April past year. This is more likely if it ends up matching up with one of the hardcore requirements for Falions event. 

 

Then again I could go completely off book too.

[Hemiak]

Monkey Island 2 100% achieved.

April Update:

Platinum Trophy

 

Finished NFS sooner than I was expecting; so that’s another one crossed off the list  

Haven’t done anything with ME yet, except I picked up the DLC I needed. I’ll leave it as what I’m currently working on. Probably won’t update again until May sometime when the semester ends (finals and projects take priority).
