Haven't had much gaming-time because of a vacation trip, kept up with my one trophy a day with the PS Vita, but couldn't get any trophies for this challenge. Managed to get a few in Everybody's Gone To The Rapture today. Starting to feel I might not have enough time for all of the games because I got a lot more work than I expected this summer. Will see what happens! I'm not giving up yet!

Spent some time on the ol' list since Oceanhorn Vita was pissing me off. I had forgotten about the evil Ghost Fish. ??

 

Finally got to the third temple in AT:SotNK after I learned that Glubbo can destroy the plants in the swamp(you need to throw him twice) and I discovered by accident that Glubbo can burn the tree stumps and the Finn Gauntlet is needed to lift large rocks. I had lost all of my Legend of Zelda knowledge, duuuuuh! ? Anyways, got a bunch of trophies.

 

Then went onto Dragon Fantasy to get some random trophies, including all the crafting trophies. I will get more serious about the remaining platinums on my list tomorrow. Still healing after the horrible seatlash I got from that traumatic car crash a couple of days ago, have huge scabs on my left shoulder and back.

 

EDIT: I pushed the update button too soon and it accidentally posted before I started playing Dragon Fantasy and earned the trophies. Oops!

 

EDIT #2: I have decided to focus on Dragon Fantasy, Dark Cloud, and Adventure Time and platinum those games first before tackling the Kingdom Hearts games, which I'll save for next month or whenever I finish the other games. The only grind is Dragon Fantasy to grind Ogden to Level 99 for the level 99 trophy, but it's really fast. Dark Cloud has no grinding except for weapons and I can noob it up and have everyone kitted out with ultimate gear fast thanks to the Broken Dagger Glitch, and I'm 2/3 of the way through Adventure Time. (I think the biggest trophy will be the one requiring you to beat the game without upgrade Finn at all.)

Assassin's Creed Revelations (PS4) 0%=>17%

Tales from the Borderlands (PS4) 100%

A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV (PS4) 0%=>38%

Tearaway Unfolded (PS4) 24%

 

I am about halfway through the story in AC:R. I usually enjoy Assassin's Creed games because they have something relaxing imo. So there, I am making slow and steady, no problems in this game until now.

I finished the story mode of A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV and all trophies which are related to that. I have to say that I really like this game, the gameplay feels very good.

I may have fully failed the event now

 

Decided I wanted to cross this short and easy game off of my backlog list, and it generally gave me a lot of trouble at the start and the "no hints" trophy glitched in the end, meaning I'd have to do another full run and I'm really not feeling it.

• Papo & Yo (4% -> 66%)

Progress Update: Week 2

1. Fallout 4 (0%)
2. inFAMOUS Second Sun (0%)
3. Far Cry Primal (100%) 
4. Wolfenstein Old Blood (0% => 91%)
5. Titanfall 2 (0%)

Well E3 coverage has somewhat limited my gaming time this week (a mediocre E3 year imo), though I have still almost managed to platinum Wolfenstein Old Blood.  Just got a few challenge scores to achieve before I move on to something else.  Overall, an OK game -  not bad, but not great either.  Will probably play inFamous next. 

 

Hope everyone else is enjoying the summer backlog challenge.

New Update:

 

1. Star Wars Force Unleashed II (PS3) - 13%

2. Volume (PS4) - 0%

3. Chambara (PS4) - 100%

4. SteinsGate (PS3) - 0% => 20%

5. FreezeMe (PS4) - 0% => 100%

6. Lara Croft Go (PS4) - 0%

7. Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions (PS3) - 82% => 100%

 

Spider-Man done, took a bit longer than I expected. I started Steins;Gate. I think I like it so far, its really the first visual novel I have ever played. I'm not sure I love the main character, but I like the supporting characters and the storyline is intriguing, so I'll see where it goes. Only finished up Chapter 2 last night, so still a ways to go. Might also start Lara Croft Go today or tomorrow, when I need a break from reading words. Need to get back to Star Wars Force Unleashed II but I don't really have any motivation for it for some reason.

Progress update:

 

1. Grim Fandango Remastered...............................100%
2. Child of Light........................................................100%
3. Lone Survivor.......................................................22%
4. Oddworld: New n' Tasty.......................................1%
5. Broken Age..........................................................0%
6. Transistor............................................................13%
7. Dead Space.........................................................4%
8. The Evil Within.....................................................3%
9. Outlast.................................................................3%
10. BioShock 2...........................................................0%

Another game that I started long ago and never touched again. Great progress, I finished my first playthrough and successfully got the ending I needed, now I just need to get all the other endings and a couple of other miscellaneous trophies, and the plat is mine.   It should take one or two days, then I'm on to Oddworld, or maybe Broken Age.  

[ladynadiad]

1. Final Fantasy X-2 HD 24% (16 out of 35 trophies)

2. htoL#NiQ - The Firefly Diary 19% (7 out of 25 trophies)

3. Time and Eternity 18% (7 out of 30 trophies)

4. Muramasa Rebirth 18% (21 out of 66 trophies)

5. Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny 10% (7 out of 38 trophies)

6. Ateiler Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland 8% (6 out of 53 trophies)

7. Resonance of Fate 4% (2 out of 49 trophies)

8. Final Fantasy XIII 4% (3 out of 36 trophies)

9. Kingdom Hearts 15% (11 out of 56 trophies)

10. Kingdom Hearts II 2% (2 out of 51 trophies)

11. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch 2% (2 out of 34 trophies)

12. Zero Time Dilemma 0%

13. Ys Origin (Vita) 0% 53% (21 out of 31 trophies)

 

I've made some good progress with Ys Origin.  Beat the game with all three characters so now I have access to the arena and nightmare difficulty.  The only truly hard trophy I have left is the one for beating all 6 stages of arena mode on nightmare difficulty since I'm having trouble with Silent Sands.  Everything else that is left is a matter of grinding and/or practice.  I've done time attack on nightmare difficulty before, so I know I can do it again, just need to unlock EX Hugo before I'll give that a go since he's the easiest one to do nightmare time attack with.  It's not a hard trophy set other than the one to beat all 6 stages of arena mode on nightmare difficulty, but that's nothing compared to Steam's beat nightmare time attack with all versions of all characters achievement that is a big part of why I have 600+ hours of playtime on that game.

Update 3:

Only movement has been on Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate (Vita) - 20% to 65%.

Finished my first play-through and really enjoyed it. I had intended to break up each play-through with a some of my other games but will probably try and get this all done before the end of June now. The map takes a lot of getting used to I've found but now I'm there (and more familiar with each area) it's going to make the remaining two play-throughs a breeze hopefully. Particularly with collecting the Blackest Night Batsuit and dealing with all the detective cases in the first run of it.

Probably a 7 or 8 out of 10 for me.

Wait, is some of Oceanhorn challenging? I was planning on picking it up as what seemed like a nice easy, relaxing kind of game? I'll probably still get it (once I've cleared the backlog) but want to know what it's actually like.

Ooooooh boy are you in for a treat here! I absolutely loved the game!

It's got me hooked on Supergiant Games now, enjoyed Bastion (will go back for the plat at some point) and really looking forward to Pyre now.

No, it's not that challenging. Ignore the fishing until the end and you should get a nice good platinum. Just one warning - get the Coral Sword before you enter Sky Island, or you'll be in for a tough time. That's all I'm saying. I'll PM you a link to a walkthrough I've been using.

 

Also, I think I've shot myself in the foot and am bleeding to death, figuratively speaking. I created 18 Mega Burning characters on Maplestory and now I have to get them all to Level 150 before the 21st, when the event ends and so does the free levels. The more Level 150 characters I have, the better my Maple Legion rank when they patch the game with the grid. This severely hurts my chances of finishing this challenge as well as my sleep schedule. As such I am having trouble updating my list.

 

That's not to say I am dropping out of the event. Just give me a few days and I'll put Nexon back in the brig so I can focus on my video games. (I was going to play Dark Cloud some, but nope, Maplestory has priority until this stupid patch comes out.)

Not sure if anyone heard my rant of woe in the last post I put, but I did mention I wasn't dropping out. I managed to put the Maplestory away and pop a ton of easy Dark Cloud trophies. I was VERY lucky with finding a Bandit Slingshot for the Sticky Fingers trophies. The road to the plat will be smooth sailing from now on.

 

Once I get Dark Cloud and the other platinums, I'll get to work cracking on the Kingdom Hearts games. I'll also get

 

With the announcement of the expansion of Stormblood at E3, I am really tempted to cancel my Maplestory and Wizzard101 accounts and steal back the money I wasted on them to spend on FFXIV! (J/K ) If I do get the game, will someone help me boost the plat for the game?

Yet another update, my last for the next 2 weeks because I'll be out of town.

 

1. Game of Thrones 0%

2. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 10%

3. The Order: 1886 0%

4. Life is Strange 55% --> 100% 

5. Ghost Recon Wildlands 15% --> 16%

6. Watch_Dogs 0%

7. God of War 3 Remastered 0%

8. Wolfenstein: The New Order 0%

9. Fallout 3 3% --> 8%

10. LA Noire 0%

11. Far Cry 3 24%

12. Dead Space 0%

13. God of War 100% 

14. God of War 2 0%

15. God of War: Chains of Olympus 0%

16. God of War: Ghost of Sparta 0%

17. Rocketbirds 0%

18. Severed 0%

 

I managed to complete Life is Strange (awesome game, really great atmosphere). I also played through some more Fallout 3, haven't progressed through main story but I did some side quests and I'm halfway through the Guns of Anchorage DLC. I just bought Rise of Iron on sale for Destiny so currently I'm sinking a good amount of my gaming time into that.

 

As I said, I'll be gone for 2 weeks so you'll see 0 progress from me, which is probably bad considering the size of my list. However, when I get back, I plan on playing Fallout 3 and making my way through all of the God of War games. Good luck for the next 2 weeks guys

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters (0/55 l 0%)

 

Good luck with that one!  It's not an outright difficult plat once you get the hang of the battle system, but there is a severe lack of info about some things in the game that do make a few trophies a bit more frustrating than they need to be.  The guide on here isn't that great and is missing a lot of details that are needed for the plat, but it will help you with your first playthrough and help with a majority of trophies (it is solid for the sixth sense stuff and most of the battle trophies).  I'd recommend supplementing that with the boards on GameFAQs since I found the guide really is very lacking in info for the Handbook for the Recently Deceased trophy, which is probably the hardest in the game mostly because of a lack of info.

I'd like to try my hand at this summer's run with these games:

 

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation ---- (21%) >>>>>> 100%

Steins Gate ----------------------------- (0%) >>>>>> 100%

Super Stardust Delta------------------ (8%) >>>>>> 100%

Soldner X-2: Final Prototype -------- (0%)

Titan Souls ------------------------------ (0%)

Update 3: Just got the Platinum for Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. So I'm now 3 out of 5. The next two games will be the most difficult, but at least they're not particularly time consuming.`
