Summer 2017 Backlog Challenge

[booshy_89]

Update 6:

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate (Vita) - 100%

Assassin's Creed Chronicles (Vita) - 2%

Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves (Vita) - 91%

The Little Acre (PS4) - 100%

Psychonauts (PS4) - 1%

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episodes 2 to 5 (PS3) - 0%, 0%, 0% and 0%

 

Very close on Sly 3 now, just need to finish off the Masterthief challenges, which haven't been as bad as I expected so far - some of them are definitely more lenient than others.

 

I'm also scrapping my PS3 titles as I'm not going to get a chance to play it until later September now, so maybe I'll add them to my Autumn list.

...So I have decided to drop out of the challenge partially due to personal reasons and I want to make time for other games that, as things stand currently, I rather spend more time on (such as Overwatch).  

 

Oh Overwatch, it's the game that enormously slowing up my completion of Psychonauts and any other PS4 game!

Progress update:

 

1. Grim Fandango Remastered..............................100%
2. Child of Light.......................................................100%
3. Lone Survivor......................................................100%
4. Oddworld: New n' Tasty.................................... ..100%

7. Dead Space.........................................................4%
8. The Evil Within.....................................................3%
9. Outlast.................................................................3%
10. BioShock 2...........................................................0%

Broken Age took a lot more time than expected, because I couldn't force myself to play games for over 10 days due to lack of energy and motivation to do anything. But I picked it up this weekend and got it done and ended up liking the game very much!

 

I'm halfway there, although the longest game is in the second half of my list (Evil Within), also the second longest one (BioShock 2) and the third longest one (Dead Space).  I'm not so sure I'll make it till August 31st anymore.

Monster Jam is rather garbage as a game really. However, my two oldest kids seem to love it and that makes it more entertaining. I should be finished up with it by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Still looking for an online partner for Tony Hawk with little success.

Finally, got online for Tony Hawk done, big shout out to @stoogebag. Took two minutes but was definitely holding me back. Just one more trophy and I am done, if I could just collect some stupid skateboards in time on downhill jam I would be pretty much done. Finished up Monster Jam Battlegrounds with my kids, they at least enjoyed it. Still don't really have my PS4 so I'll probably add a couple games either to this post or another, once I figure it out.

More stuff got done

 

1. Game of Thrones 25% --> 100% 

2. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 10%

3. The Order: 1886 0% --> 100% 

4. Life is Strange 100% 

5. Ghost Recon Wildlands 15% --> 16%

6. Watch_Dogs 2% --> 14%

7. God of War 3 Remastered 0%

8. Wolfenstein: The New Order 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 finished Game of Thrones and Order 1886. Both pretty good games, the Order 1886 was sadly a bit short but I'm hoping for a much longer sequel. I've only got 4/18 done, which is still horrible mathematically but whatever. Plus I pre-ordered Superhot, which is coming out on Friday, so not much progress is gonna be made on these games for a bit. I'm aiming for 50% done at this point because there's no way in hell that I'm gonna finish 14 games in a little over a month at this pace.

Update time!

1. XBlaze Code: Embryo (Vita) - 100% (39/39)
2. Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma - 100% (33/33)
3. Dead Space - 0% (0/49)
4. Tales From the Borderlands (PS4) - 0% (0/36) 1% (1/36)
5. Game of Thrones (Telltale, PS4) - 0% (0/49) 100% (49/49)

 

Not sure if I'll get Dead Space finished in time, but I'll try! I'm remote playing GoT and TFtB while I'm at work, so those could be done if I'm not too busy at work! ? I might try to squeeze in 101 Ways to Die if I get really ambitious!

Progress Update: Week 7

1. Fallout 4 (14% => 17%)
2. inFAMOUS Second Sun (100%) 
3. Far Cry Primal (100%) 
4. Wolfenstein Old Blood (100%) 
5. Titanfall 2 (0% => 100%) 
6. Until Dawn (0%)
7. Inside (0%)

Played a LOT of Fallout 4 this week, even though I have barely made any progress trophy-wise.  Almost level 25 and haven't even got to Diamond city yet.  I keep getting distracted and wondering off to see "what is over there".  Still loving every minute though.

 

Will add 'Inside' to my game list as I just picked it up in the PS Summer Sale.  I know it's short, but it is supposed to be really good.

[peppi_wayne]

Assassin's Creed Revelations (PS4) 17% => 50%

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell (PS4) 0%

Tales from the Borderlands (PS4) 100%

A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV (PS4) 38% => 52%

Tearaway Unfolded (PS4) 24%

 

No update since over one month... and the reasons for that are the lack of motivation to play games during summer and the distraction by other games (Kingdom Hearts & Until Dawn)

Still managed to finish the story in AC:R, didn't touched the game for over 3 weeks. It's most likely that I will fail this challenge again but since I finished at least one game I don't fail completely

[voyager49]

Lack of Progress Update:

1. Life is Strange (18% => 23%)
2. Epic Mickey 2: The Power of 2 (2%  => 4% => 8%)
3. Tales from the Borderlands (0% => 100%) 
4. The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 (7%  => 100%) 
5. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan (3% => 100%) 
6. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (1% => 100%) 
7. Killzone HD (0% - 7%)
8. Infamous 2 (6% => 100%) 

I joined an ABC trophy challenge where the goal was to get trophies starting with each letter of the alphabet in order. Along the way, I got back into several games that I'd forgotten that I really enjoyed. One of which was Infamous 2 which I started 6 years ago but had only gotten 3 trophies in. So I decided to finish it and it is now my 50th plat! Went ahead and finished up Tales as well. I should have  Life is Strange finished by next weekend.

I have reached a point in Epic Mickey where I need excellent motor & coordination skills. Unfortunately, not my strong point. So I'm not sure I will get past this. Killzone is not providing as much interest as I hoped & now not really looking forward to 4 playthrus. With a month to go, I'm not sure these last 2 will happen.

Not much progress with my backlog, unfortunately. Finished Lego Batman, which was both longer and shorter than I'd thought it be--the story sections kinda dragged a bit too long for me. Pushed a bit into FFX and Tales of Hearts R. I'm hoping that I can clear something else by the end of the month. Probably should choose less over 50+ hour RPGs next time. > o >

Like I said, the topic opens August 1.

 

I am going to sign up for the Autumn Challenge. Don't worry, this time I am going to be serious about my games since I will put my obsession for FFXIV on hold for the next three months and save money on the subscription rate. I need to focus on some of my games rotting in the backlog. But this time I will narrow my amount to five and only add games if I have time for them.

 

I'll put up the list this weekend to ensure I don't chicken out and have much time to change it.

The Challenge topic doesn't even open until Tuesday. The Challenge itself starts September 1, not August 1.

4. Wolfenstein Old Blood (100%) 
5. Titanfall 2 (0% => 100%) 
6. Until Dawn (0%)
7. Inside (0%)

Made a bit more of a dint into the Fallout 4 trophies this week.  Despite there being still 1 month left of the Summer challenge, I'm starting to think that I may not be able to finish this game as I still have barely scratched the surface.  Will happily continue though as this game is amazing!
